Chapter 220 - 220 The Reason for Their Youthfulness
220 The Reason for Their Youthfulness
She had been here for more than four months. Gu Qingming had already adapted to the environment and life here!
Although the countryside was not as clean and luxurious as the big cities, it was very peaceful and quiet!
She thought of a poem written by a great poet.
The hut was in the human realm, and there were no carriages or horses.
How can I ask you? My heart is far away and I’m lonely.
Under the east fence where the chrysanthemums were picked, one could see the southern mountains leisurely.
The mountain air was beautiful every day, and the birds returned.
There was a true meaning in this. If one wanted to identify it, one would forget to say it.
In the past, she might not have been able to experience this kind of rural interest, happiness, and elegance.
These days, the flowers, grass, trees, and green mountains in the countryside were all elegant and peaceful.
Gu Qingming had just arrived and was a little impetuous, but she slowly calmed down.
She had slowly integrated into this life. She was a contented rice worm in this countryside.
With the success of the greenhouse rice, she became even more excited about planting.
In the past three to four months, she had already chosen many seeds and planted them in the space.
Not to mention seasonal seeds, any vegetable seeds that passed the test of Kong Xingfan would be thrown into the space.
Planting in the outside world followed the order of 24 solar terms.
However, there was no such climate restriction in space. Any seed could grow in space, and its growth was especially gratifying.
Now, there were basically all the vegetables in the space.
Tomatoes, radishes, eggplants, green melons, and so on.
Occasionally, she would take the opportunity to bring out the vegetables in the space for everyone to try.
Everyone was already used to the things Gu Qingming brought back and would not ask further. As long as there was food, everyone would fight to eat.
After eating too many interspatial dishes, everyone could feel their bodies becoming more and more relaxed. They felt refreshed, their ears and eyes were bright, and their skin was getting better. Their entire state was getting better and better.
The older they were, the more they could feel this change.
This was especially true for four elderly folks. They felt that they were getting younger and younger.
Although everyone was a little puzzled by this change, they tacitly did not ask.
Of course, they were all in the same village and met frequently. At first, the changes were not obvious and were not too eye-catching.
However, as time passed, everyone would always find that their family had changed.
For example, the skin of the woman from the Shi family seemed to be getting fairer and fairer, and they were also becoming more and more beautiful.
The white hair on the heads of their grandmother and grandfather was decreasing. Their black hair was growing thicker and thicker. Not only had their hair color changed, but even the wrinkles on their skin were decreasing. They looked younger and younger.
In the face of their change, Grandma Shi and Grandpa Shi only smiled and said, “Haha, it’s my Ming’er. She’s filial and often buys a lot of health supplements for us to eat. I heard that these health supplements are high-end goods. They’re only sold overseas and can make people young. They’re very scarce.”
The villagers did not doubt their words and only revealed envious expressions.
After all, their son-in-law’s family was really rich. It was not surprising for his granddaughter to buy some high-end health care to show filial piety to the old man.
In order to accommodate her grandmother and grandfather’s words, Gu Qingming especially got someone to order a large number of premium branded bird’s nest from overseas.
The elders were Big Grandpa, Little Grandpa, Little Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandma.
When sending the bird’s nest, Gu Qingming thought of a way to improve their physiques by dripping a few drops of spiritual spring water in the water vat at Big Grandpa and Little Grandpa’s house or in the kettle.
After they ate the bird’s nest sent by Gu Qingming, as expected, some of their white hair turned black. They looked better and younger. Seeing their changes, the villagers believed that the high-end health supplements were the reasons for their youthfulness.
Seeing their state, many people were envious and wanted to become younger. Then, they would look for their grandparents and ask Gu Qingming to buy them a box of supplements.
It was not wrong for them to want to become younger and eat bird’s nest.
However, when they found out that this box of bird’s nest cost tens of thousands of dollars, they realized they could not afford such expensive food. Therefore, they targeted Gu Qingming.
Of course, they first looked for their grandmother, wanting Gu Qingming to pay first. After getting the things, they would pay.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with doing this. There was nothing to dispute.
The problem was that Grandma Shi knew these people’s family backgrounds too well. How could they have so much money?
Even if they had money, it was impossible for them to take out tens of thousands of dollars just to buy a box of bird’s nest.
It was not easy for rural people to earn money, let alone save it.
“Jiaoying, get your granddaughter to buy this bird’s nest first. When my son comes back at the end of the year, he will definitely give the money,” an old woman with white hair, dark skin, and a wrinkled face said to Grandma.
This old woman was actually not even as old as her grandmother. It was just that she had to take care of one grandson and two great-grandchildren alone and do farm work. She was so tired.
Grandma frowned and said, “Lanying, my Ming’er said that this bird’s nest costs 80,000 dollars a box. Does your son have so much money?”
Lan Ying said unhappily, “Yes, why not? My son is earning a lot of money outside.”
“Your son certainly earns money!” Grandmother nodded without denying it. “But the problem is, is your son willing to fork out this money to buy bird’s nest for you? Alright, even if your son is willing, are your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law willing?”
When Lan Ying was Qing Qing’s mother-in-law back then, she worked her daughter-in-law hard.
Other than letting her daughter-in-law do all the housework, she was also picky and easily hit and scolded her daughter-in-law.
Furthermore, after her daughter-in-law gave birth, not to mention serving her confinement, she had to wash her clothes and cook for her on the day she gave birth. During the entire confinement period, she did not even look at her, let alone carry her child. It was only because her daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter.
Her daughter-in-law had given birth to three children. Regardless of whether they were girls or boys, she had never served them for a day.
Other than her grandson, she did not treat her grandchildren well. She beat and scolded the girls every day.
Once, when her grandson had a high fever, her daughter-in-law sent the child to the hospital and asked her to watch her two granddaughters.
However, she acted as if she did not hear anything. She locked her door and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, when she heard his granddaughters’ mournful cries, she pretended not to hear them.
If it weren’t for the neighbor who came in to take a look and heard that something was wrong, who knew what would have happened to those two girls?
The house was locked and there was no way out
There was no electricity in the house. It was dark and scary. The two children, who were only a few years old, were even more afraid. They cried in the house. Then, they felt something bite them. It was especially painful and they cried even harder.
When the neighbors went to their house, the two children were being bitten by rats!
