Chapter 1670: Chapter 1081: Heroine of the Republic 55 (4000+)_3

An Yi instructed An Hu: "Remember to lock the door when you come and go. Actually, you should pick a little one to keep you company, but the truth is you don’t have time to care for it. Our home has too many things that others envy, so you all must keep a low profile, speak cautiously, and don’t say things you shouldn’t, or else you might accidentally cause big trouble."

After April arrived, the weather gradually warmed up. When the seeds sprouted, it wasn’t that cold anymore. The plastic covering the ground had to be removed; otherwise, they might die if left covered too long. The removed plastic can be saved for next year, so it must be stored properly.

Last year, we didn’t plant many vegetables. This year, the front yard is planted with vegetables, and the backyard has sweet potatoes and potatoes. We didn’t even grow corn because there wasn’t enough space. This is all the distance we’ve got, so we save whenever we can, right?

In the corner of the wall, we planted vine-growing plants like hyacinth beans, winter melons, pumpkins, and loofahs. The winter melons and pumpkins bear a lot of fruit, making them perfect for wall-side planting.

An Yi loves the countryside in spring the most; that feeling of being both barren and green is so healing.

Every weekend, the entire An family would come home. If they weren’t gathering firewood from the mountains, they were digging wild vegetables. Most of the harvested wild vegetables would be taken away. They said it was to dry them, but in truth, they ended up in An Yi’s space. Even though these seasonal vegetables can be cultivated, those picked personally still feel better.

"Mainly, I don’t have time, being overwhelmed by so many kids. This area isn’t far from Changbai Mountain, and if I could live under it, imagine how much good stuff I could gather!"

The more she thought about it, the itchier she felt. Besides the regret of not being near Changbai Mountain, there was... Russia?

The mountains in the Northeast have so many good things: often heard of mink fur, Sika Deer’s antler, ginseng, bark of cork tree, and lingzhi...

But she simply couldn’t find the time to utilize the space to gather.

When winter sets in, she does have time, but once it’s blanketed with snow, what can she find? She can’t move an inch.

The more she thought, the more regretful she felt. At times like this, she wished she could clone herself. That way, she could amass even more materials.

"So, Liang Tian, are people just like this? Never satisfied with their greed? Look at the accumulation of materials in my space, there’s already a lot, right? But I still feel unsatisfied, always feeling if I don’t bring something back, it’s like a loss. But in reality, I can’t take anything away; if I don’t deal with the things in my space before I die, they’ll eventually disappear too."

"It’s normal for you to think this way because I also have times when I’m never satisfied, like, I always felt that the fifty thousand Merit Value I initially asked for was a bit low. Why don’t you add another fifty thousand? Later, I can provide you with more benefits?"

"Get lost!" An Yi shouted angrily, making Liang Tian feel quite dull. Isn’t he being kind enough?

Busy days always fly by quickly. For Labor Day on May 1st, the entire nation gets one day off.

But the An family is too diligent. As soon as there is a holiday, they want to laze around. They had already planted around the house, and upon returning to the countryside, brother An Hu took the two little sisters out to play. Inside and out, the two little sisters tidied up and industriously went to the mountain to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. She felt lying down suited her best, so she lay on a deck chair in the courtyard, eyes closed, basking in the sun, swaying to and fro, oh so leisurely.

While at home, the main door was half-covered. An Yi didn’t expect her own mother, Cai Wenfang, to visit again after their unpleasantness.

"Oh, Teacher An, you are so relaxed, lying here sunbathing, unlike us, working from dawn to dusk, it’s exhausting!"

An Yi originally didn’t want to pay her any mind, but she felt this person wouldn’t show up for no reason, so she put her feet down, sat up, and stood.

"Aunt Cai, is there something you need?"

Cai Wenfang just smiled, a kind of not-so-good-natured smile.

"Uh, it’s like this, Teacher Cai, isn’t it my niece from my family? She didn’t pass the high school entrance exam. I heard you teach at County No. 1 High School? So, could you..."

An Yi shook her head without thinking: "No. High school requires an entrance exam; if you can’t pass, no one can help. I’m a teacher, just a teacher."

"Teacher An, why be so absolute? My niece already said someone from her class paid their way into high school. Although it’s not County No. 1 High School, there are ways. You see, you have such a good job, and my niece is pretty good at studying. If only she could get into high school, she’d surely get into a university. We all live in the same village; could you lend a hand? Even if she can’t get into County No. 1 High School, going to the Third or Fourth High is fine?"

An Yi couldn’t help but sneer: "Good at studying and yet failed the high school entrance exam? Who are you fooling? Besides, talking about the Third and Fourth High as if they aren’t good enough — couldn’t even meet the lowest high school score? And you want me to help? Sorry, I can’t help with that. Her classmates have money and connections because their family is capable. You don’t have that fortune, so be honest and study at home, try again next year. As for me, no connections, no money, we’re not related, so don’t expect me to wear a big hat. Can’t help, whoever can, go find them!"
