Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 314 - Chapter 314 314. Such a strong background _1

Chapter 314: 314. Such a strong background! _1 Chapter 314: 314. Such a strong background! _1 Sun Shouping carefully sized up Zhang Yanping and found that his good brother looked even more spirited than when he’d seen him in March.

Apart from being a bit darker, he seemed to have become much stronger.

He also smiled, “It’s hot, so it’s nice to set off early.”

That was true.

Everyone at home was getting up around five or six o’clock now, otherwise once the sun came out, nobody could stand the heat.

The only ones who could hold their position were the fishermen by the pond.

When Zhang Yanping collected the money, he was deeply moved, thinking that when Tantan had money, he must let her refurbish the pond, at least to build a covered gallery–

That sun is really scorching!

In fact, Sun Shouping thought he had arrived quite early, but to his surprise, someone else had come even earlier.

At the entrance to the old house’s courtyard, he saw a young girl holding two bottles of alcohol, entangled with a simply dressed old man!

One was desperately refusing to take them, the other was insistent on stuffing them into his hands.

From afar, he couldn’t hear clearly what the two were saying, just snippets of conversation floating to his ears–

“…Grandpa, please take it…”

“I really can’t take it…”

“You take it…”

“No, it’s too expensive, take it back…”

As he got closer, he glanced at the bottles and saw words like “So-and-so’s Collection” “So-and-so’s Special Supply”…

This is serious!

Looking at the girl again, she was young, with a bare face and seemingly good spirits, only her skin was slightly dark.

Glancing at the simple dressed old man opposite her, he was probably Song Tan’s grandfather.

When they saw a stranger approaching, they didn’t entangle further. The girl let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, “Alright then, if you won’t take it, you won’t take it. When the holidays come, I’ll open a bottle and we can drink together.”

This gave Song Youde quite a fright!

“I wouldn’t dare! You should take it back! I’ve got alcohol for the holidays. If you dare to bring it again, don’t even think about entering my house, take it back, take it back!”

As he watched her walk away downcast, Sun Shouping’s temples throbbed.

He then asked Zhang Yanping in a low voice, “Who is that girl? A relative of yours?”

Zhang Yanping glanced over and said nonchalantly, “Oh, she’s our village’s secretary.”

She’s been eyeing the old man’s tobacco these past two days, coming over every day with two bottles of alcohol, insisting on giving it to him.

Other things aside, Song Youde couldn’t resist alcohol, but the tobacco was his treasure.

This year, just because of that bit of tobacco, Qiaoqiao has been loudly proclaiming “Smoking is harmful to health” in the yard every day, even Tantan is getting a bit emotional about it.

Now, Tantan was almost ready to say that she wouldn’t grow it next year.

My goodness!

It’s only 200 pounds of dry tobacco leaves, and after removing the stems, it’s just over 100 pounds. If she decides not to grow it next year, what about the year after that?

The old man was quite aware of the crisis, now he watched his tobacco as if it was gold, and wouldn’t trade it for anything.

This time, Secretary Xiaozu left once again defeated.

But Sun Shouping didn’t know any of this.

He just sucked in a breath of cold air, and then looked at Zhang Yanping once more–

How had he not known, that his bunkmate’s family had this kind of connection?

The secretary wasn’t a high-ranking official, but she was the current one in charge!

There’s a saying, “A county official is not as good as the current management,” and it’s not without reason!

Nowadays, the current management even brings such fine special supply Moutai to gift to the family, and yet, her family doesn’t accept it…

He looked at Zhang Yanping with a somewhat strange expression in his eyes.

But Zhang Yanping himself was completely oblivious. “You don’t know, those treasures came back so obedient, so sensible! They stick to whichever peak I tell them to, and Big King…”

Just as he was about to mention the matter of the 3,000 yuan again, he turned his head and saw Sun Shouping’s complex and gloomy expression, and couldn’t help but pause, “What’s wrong with you?”

What could be wrong?

Sun Shouping simply thought: If his dogs had that ability, and they really were sent away, he wouldn’t have any means to keep them either.

He didn’t say anything, but the thick-skinned Zhang Yanping had already come up with an answer for him, “Are you especially missing your dogs? I knew it! You treat those dogs like they’re your little treasures… But now they’re out in the fields. Dude, I’m starving to death, you haven’t had breakfast either, right? Shall we eat first and then look at them?”

Without waiting for Sun Shouping’s reply, he directly ushered him to the dining table, “Come on, the porridge in the pot has cooled down just right, paired with this cold mixed Milk Vetch, I can chow down two big bowls easily first thing in the morning!”

The porridge cooked this morning was thick sticky rice porridge. Seventh Uncle had started to make it as early as 5 a.m., but as the day got hot, no one wanted to eat and end up sweating buckets first thing in the morning.

So, everyone maintained the habit they had in the summer for working, finishing the work first and then coming back to eat.

At a little past 8 a.m., the mealtime temperature was just right.

Sun Shouping was still preoccupied with thoughts of his dogs, but fretting wasn’t a solution, and his stomach was indeed truly hungry at this point.

Looking at Zhang Yanping, who was happily lading out porridge at the stove, he thought to himself, With his build, eating three bowls wouldn’t be surprising–

Wait a minute!

Why is the bowl he’s using to serve the porridge the big sea bowl used in rural banquets before?!

Just two bowls of that, and it’s sticky rice porridge–can his stomach even digest it?

However, lost in this moment of shock, Zhang Yanping had already extended the spoon toward him, “Here, have a taste.”

“I’m telling you, Seventh Uncle’s dish is simply extraordinary!”

The red and green chili cold mixed Milk Vetch, even if it was blanched and frozen in the fridge beforehand, didn’t affect its refreshing and appetizing qualities at this moment.

Sun Shouping tried scooping up a spoonful, cramming it into his mouth along with the lukewarm porridge, and immediately his eyes widened in surprise.

Only after swallowing did he see Zhang Yanping looking at him with a smile, “How about that? I didn’t lie to you, did I? With this flavor, if you don’t eat two big bowls with me, consider it my loss!”

Song Youde had just entered the courtyard when he heard Zhang Yanping foolishly saying this, and couldn’t help but glare at him, “What kind of silly talk is that!”

“The guy has just arrived, and you want him to eat two large bowls of porridge first thing in the morning, will that even digest properly?”

“Your uncle is stewing meat for lunch; don’t eat too much sticky rice, it really won’t digest well.”

As soon as Song Youde thought of the fact that the treasures were sold by the young man before him, and then how Big King had caught two piglets in the back mountain, he looked at Sun Shouping’s face with particular amiability.

So much so that as Sun Shouping ate the porridge, he kept marveling in his mind:

Such a low-profile person, everything he does is so low-key!

So polite even to someone who owns a dog farm like me.

However, it was also thanks to Song Youde’s words that Sun Shouping managed not to stuff himself to the point of immobility.

After finishing a big sea bowl, he reluctantly put down his spoon and now patted his round belly:

“Shall we go out for a walk?”

Zhang Yanping had just finished eating too, and now he got up, “Let’s go.”

“I’ll take you to see the dogs– which one do you want to see first?”

They are actually at home?

Sun Shouping was frustrated, then why hadn’t there been any news about them being in heat or getting spayed until now?

Song Tan had clearly said at the beginning that he did not intend to spay them so soon…

His mind preoccupied, his answer was somewhat casual, “Any will do, let’s see whichever is closest.”

What else was there to say?

Zhang Yanping instantly decided, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the back mountain to see Big King!”
