Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 376 - 248: Changes (Part 3)

Everyone first built a simple pavilion, not far from the pigsty, to make it convenient for Chunhua to cook.

Then they cleared weeds and thorns, and some wild trees.

Jiang Hu found a place without big trees to build the pigsty, right on the edge of the ten acres of wasteland, near the stream.

When the pigsty is completed, the pot for cooking pig feed will also be near the stream, which will make it convenient to carry water then.

Everyone was busily working together, Jiang Hu and Qixi also went to help, and they ate lunch there together.

Erniang and Aunt Yang stayed home to look after the children and the elderly and also had to prepare food for the other chickens, ducks, and geese, which wasn’t easy.

However, Erniang was curious about what the pigsty looked like, so she liked to stand by the pond, looking over there.

Today, Xiaomi came along to see her mother, looked at the stream in front, and simply tugged her mother’s arm.

"Mom, why don’t we build a small bridge here, it would be more convenient to go to the pigsty, no need to go the long way around."

As she spoke, she pointed out that the nearest small bridge was four or five hundred meters away.

And that pigsty was directly opposite the pond, so a bridge would be only twenty or thirty meters in a straight line, right?

"Build a bridge?" Erniang tapped Xiaomi’s forehead, "The pigsty isn’t even built yet, and you’re already thinking about a bridge."

Xiaomi pouted, "It’s not hard at all. Didn’t Dad and the others just dig up two trees yesterday? This stream is only about five or six feet wide, using a few upright logs can build a wooden bridge."

A wooden bridge is the simplest, just dig a little on both sides of the stream, then lay some logs side by side, filling the ends with soil, completely stable, right?

Of course, if you’re willing to work a bit harder, you can place a thick stone in the middle of the stream, then put bluestones on both sides, and then it becomes a stone bridge.

"If it’s closer, then Dad and Uncle Qixi would be closer to home, right? Besides, sooner or later a bridge will be needed for pig raising over there."

Erniang considered it, then decisively called out, "Hu, come here for a moment."

Xiaomi blinked, feeling Mom seemed more decisive than before.

The stance clearly showed she was ready to discuss this with Dad.

Jiang Hu wiped the sweat from his brow and came over, "What’s up, Erniang?"

Erniang didn’t mince words, pointing to a spot upstream from the pond: "Let’s build a bridge here, just use long logs to make a wooden bridge, it’ll be convenient to go across later."

Jiang Hu looked back and saw they had just cut down two cedar trees, with three more to go, all growing where the pigsty would be built,

These cedar trees weren’t small, about as thick as a bowl, very suitable for making a wooden bridge.

"Alright then, once the remaining cedar trees are dug up, we’ll build a small wooden bridge, since we’ll need one once the pigsty is finished anyway."

"Hmm, I think so too."

"I’ll head back now, we should have those three trees dug up by this afternoon, and we can build the bridge tomorrow morning."

Since we pay by the day, having everyone help with the cedar trees isn’t much trouble.

Jiang Hu turned around and left after talking to Erniang, even while they were speaking, there was the pond between them.

Xiaomi looked at her dad’s back, then at her mom, suddenly feeling like both her parents had changed somehow. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Dad used to mull over things for a long time, considering the impact on the kids, especially Xiaomi’s reputation.

But now, it seemed he was not so hesitant anymore?

She tugged her mom’s sleeve, "Mom, why did you and Dad agree so quickly? You used to discuss for days and hesitate before any decision."

In anything, it used to be the same, like when expanding the wild chicken coop, the couple discussed it thoroughly.

The main discussions were always about how outsiders might view Xiaomi’s ’Little Lucky Star’ title.

Xiaomi voiced her confusion, and Erniang stroked her hair, leading her back.

"Back in Fu’an Village, everyone knew you were Little Lucky Star, whatever we did, many eyes were watching, especially on you."

"But now, no one knows what Little Lucky Star is, no one watches if you are doing anything special, no expectations of bringing luck, so your dad and I are not so constrained in our actions now."

Xiaomi was surprised, "Is that why we moved so quietly?"

Erniang gave her a light knock, "What quietly, we just left early, that’s all."

Xiaomi stuck her tongue out, fine, just left early then.

Anyway, she understood just how much her parents had done for her all this time.
