Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 242 Naughty Silkworm

The next day.

Today, the sky is bright early.

An Yue slept very deeply the whole night because she was too exhausted the day before.

Chunzhi got up early, washed up, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast as usual.

One after another, Daniu and Ale also got up.

After getting up, Daniu began to carry water to water the vegetable garden in the yard, while A'er cleaned the house inside and out.

After getting up, An Nian washed and dressed, then sat in the yard reading.

Soon, Chunzhi's breakfast was ready.

Only now did An Yue walk out of her room, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Good morning, young lady." Ale, who was cleaning the yard, greeted her.

"Yeah, good morning." An Yue responded in a low voice.

An Nian, who was reading in the yard, heard Ale greet An Yue, and he turned around and asked, "Sister, are you awake?"

"Yeah, that's right! Good morning, New Year!" An Yue responded while yawning.

Chunzhi was carrying food from the kitchen to the main hall when she saw An Yue waking up. She smiled happily and said, "Miss, wake up. Breakfast is ready. Get ready to eat!"

"Okay, I overslept today."

An Yue said this and went to get the wooden basin, preparing to draw water to wash her face.

"Miss, you've been working hard all day. It would be great if you could get some more sleep." Chunzhi said as she came out of the main hall.

After putting the food away, Chunzhi returned to the kitchen.

Da Niu, who was carrying water to water the vegetable garden in the yard, had just finished watering the fields when he carried two more buckets of water into the kitchen.

After washing up, An Yue was very happy to see that everyone was doing their job and everything was in order.

Everyone began to sit around the octagonal table on the benches and started to have breakfast.

Suddenly, a scream of "Ah" was heard from the east ear room.

……

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up and prepared to go find out what was going on.

Gu Mingchuan ran out of the east ear room in panic.

"Help!" Gu Mingchuan screamed.

An Nian quickly ran forward and asked, "Brother Mingchuan, what happened?"

Gu Mingchuan was so frightened that he trembled all over and pointed at his body: "There are bugs..."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone stood under the eaves outside the main hall, watching Gu Mingchuan being frightened out of his wits by the silkworms, and everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother Mingchuan, it's not a bug, it's the silkworm we raised."

As An Nian spoke, he reached out and caught a few "naughty" silkworms hanging on Gu Mingchuan's body, and put them back into the bamboo dustpan in the east ear room.

An Yue walked forward with a smile, stood on tiptoe and whispered in Gu Mingchuan's ear: "Sir, we are having breakfast. I am so sorry that I forgot about you."

An Yue moved closer to Gu Mingchuan step by step until he was within reach.

Gu Mingchuan became extremely nervous because of An Yue's sudden approach.

An Yue stood on tiptoe and easily caught the silkworm from Gu Mingchuan's collar.

An Yue held the captured silkworm in her palm and prepared to send it back to the east ear room.

She said to the silkworm in her palm, "What a naughty little cutie, have you eaten all the mulberry leaves again?"

After placing the silkworm babies, An Yue walked out of the side room and said, "Okay, let's all go back to the main hall for breakfast!"

Everyone returned to the main hall to eat. An Yue walked behind and suddenly turned around and said to Gu Mingchuan who was standing in the yard: "By the way, sir, your clothes have been dried. After breakfast, please help yourself!"

Gu Mingchuan said nothing and went to the kitchen carrying the wooden basin on the bluestone slab.

He fetched a basin of clean water from the kitchen, carried it to the bluestone slab in the yard, and slowly washed himself.

While washing, he muttered, "Humph! It's not that easy to make me leave!"

After washing up, Gu Mingchuan went to the main hall to prepare for breakfast.

Everyone had breakfast and started to leave the table.

At this time, there was only a bowl of rice porridge and a little cold spinach left on the table.

"Young master, please take your time with your meal. Chunzhi will take these dishes and chopsticks back to the kitchen to wash them first." Chunzhi said as she began to collect the dishes and chopsticks.

Gu Mingchuan yawned while sitting on the bench. Looking at the little food left on the table, he couldn't help but mutter, "Is there no other food?"

An Yue, who was squatting in the yard feeding the chicks, said loudly, "Master Gu, my family's conditions are limited, so we can't compare to the Zhao Mansion."

After hearing what An Yue said, Gu Mingchuan stopped talking.

Looking at the unappetizing food on the table, although it is not to my taste, it is better than going hungry.

So, he picked up the bowl of rice porridge on the table, and with a few gulps, he poured all the rice porridge into his stomach.

An Nian carried a cloth bag and prepared to go to school in town: "Sister, Nian Nian is going to school."

Anyue stood up, walked to Anyian, and helped Anyian tidy up his clothes and hat: "Go! If there is an oxcart, remember to take it."

An Nian smiled and nodded: "Okay, sister."

Chunzhi was washing dishes in the kitchen, Ale went to the east ear room to feed the silkworms mulberry leaves, and Daniu went to feed the pigs.

Soon, everyone was busy.

An Yue stood in the yard and said to everyone, "Let's go to the back mountain together and cut more trees and bamboos and bring them back."

An Yue took out the sketch and handed it to everyone to look at: "This is the sketch of the house we are going to build next."

"With the efforts of our whole family, I think it won't take long before we can build two spacious houses."

“Once the room is built, open a door from the kitchen to facilitate entry and exit.”

"Then Ale and Daniu, you two will live over there. It will be just right for each of you to have a room, and it will be more spacious."

Ale and Daniu quickly thanked her: "Thank you, Miss."

Gu Mingchuan walked out of the main hall without any intention of changing his clothes.

After listening to An Yue, everyone started looking for machetes and sickles, preparing to go to the back mountain.

Chunzhi carried a backpack, while Daniu and Ale walked out of the yard gate with sickles and machetes.

An Yue walked behind and turned to Gu Mingchuan and said, "Mr. Gu, we are going out. Please change your clothes quickly."

Gu Mingchuan was still wearing Daniu's clothes, and walked slowly towards An Yue with his hands behind his back.

He leaned over, put his head close to An Yue's ear and whispered, "I plan to stay and help you build the house."

An Yue said unhappily, "Help us? Mr. Gu, please don't make trouble with your delicate hands. We don't need your help."

Gu Mingchuan put his hands behind his back, raised his head proudly, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

An Yue frowned slightly, bit her lower lip, and looked speechless.

An Yue didn't want to delay everyone because of Gu Mingchuan.

So she quickly walked out of the yard gate and locked it.

Chunzhi walked in front to lead the way, Daniu and Ale followed closely behind, and Gu Mingchuan walked at the end.

An Yue happened to look back and saw that Gu Mingchuan was holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and looked very nonchalant.
