Happiness System

???

It seems that this guy is sitting under the shade of the tree and enjoying the watermelon because he thinks it is too hot?!

Fortunately, it wasn’t my younger brother, otherwise he would have been hung up and beaten when he got home!

Li Xinrui patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Now is not the time to worry about this. Natural crops are rather strange. We have to collect the things first, otherwise they may rot later!"

Meng Shibai nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled his sister up, "Do you remember the way?"

Meng Yuxi looked at her big watermelon and said, "What about my things? I want to take these back to honor my father. I won't give them to anyone else!"

Meng Shibai looked at Wen Yujin and asked, "Leave half of them?"

Wen Yujin nodded. These were hard-to-come-by things and really needed someone to look after them.

In the end, Wen Yujin left behind three personal guards, and the Meng and Li families also left behind their guards.

Meng Yuxi walked a few steps and turned to look at the people who stayed behind, she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Don't be idle, go pick up some firewood and come back to roast some sweet potatoes and potatoes, we'll come back later to eat!"

The people who stayed behind looked at Meng Shibai hesitantly, as he was the one who could make the decision.

Meng Shibai compromised under his sister's death gaze and said, "Roast them by the head."

Only then did Meng Yuxi turn around with satisfaction and lead her people into the forest.

Because of the existence of Chosen Food, everyone is used to bringing tools when leaving the city.

But it was obvious that they didn’t bring enough things!

Meng Yuxi deliberately pressed the vines to stimulate growth. One potato vine covers at least two or three square meters of land, and there are at least thirty potatoes weighing more than one kilogram underneath.

Sweet potatoes are even more amazing. Each vine is at least ten meters long. One sweet potato can produce six or seven vines, which means at least seventy or eighty sweet potatoes weighing more than three kilograms...

She dug one sweet potato at a time and filled a large sack with it, and only picked some tender sweet potato vines and put them in.

The sacks that Meng Shibai and the others had were not even half as big as hers, so they could never fill them all!

"Prodigal son!" Meng Shibai glared at his cousin when he saw the sweet potato vines discarded by her.

Several people worked together to dig out a sweet potato, then discovered the problem. They then moved on to dig out a potato, and then began to discuss the distribution of the things.

They are all relatives and very easy to talk to.

In the end, the things were discovered by the Meng family. The things that Meng Yuxi had brought down the mountain belonged to her personally. Together with the things they had just dug out on the mountain, the things discovered by the Meng family accounted for 50%, Wen Yujin's side accounted for 30% due to their large number of people, and the remaining 20% ​​belonged to the Li family.

After the discussion, Wen Yujin's subordinates immediately went down the mountain to get a horse-drawn carriage to transport the things, while the others continued to stay where they were and dig sweet potatoes.

Meng Yuxi didn't participate in the labor. She took a stick and hit things here and there for fun.

The men didn't force her, just watched her walk further and further away. Meng Shibai hurriedly called her, "Sister Xi, there are many snakes and ants on the mountain, don't run around!"

"I know!" She is not afraid because she has supernatural powers to protect herself!

"Huh? Am I really the chosen one?" Meng Yuxi squatted down and dug up some things on the ground, and then used her supernatural powers to sense it.

It is really a must-have ginseng for survival!

She took out a handful of radish seeds and scattered them to stimulate their growth, then shouted, "Brother, there are so many radishes here!"

Meng Shibai was startled by her scream and thought his sister was in danger, but what did he hear?

radish?

Still a lot?

He and Wen Yujin looked at each other and ran over immediately.

Meng Yuxi was several hundred meters away from them. When the others ran up to her, she asked in confusion, "Why do these radishes look different?"

Meng Shibai saw her poking the red fruit with a stick and immediately pulled her away, "My God! This radish is called ginseng! No one has seen a fresh one for decades!"

After squatting and studying it for a long time, he sighed, "It really looks exactly like the one in the Herb Map! I thought we also had a century-old ginseng at home, but it was a pity that it fell into the hands of an ungrateful person..."

Seeing the two people carefully digging the soil for ginseng, Meng Yuxi became bored again. She pulled out a radish, peeled it with a knife and started to eat it.

This body has never seen the world, it’s never satisfied with anything it eats!

This radish is really big, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms. She was full after eating less than one-third of it.

I peeled off the parts I had nibbled and cut the remaining skin in half for my cousin and fiancé to eat.

The two men didn't mind and started eating it.

Meng Yuxi stopped playing tricks and obediently pulled out the radishes and piled them aside. Then she pulled some vines to make a net bag and put the radishes in it.

Wen Yujin's men probably took away Meng Yuxi's spoils, and three of the five people left at the foot of the mountain came up again.

After a few people finished digging the sweet potatoes over there, they ran over to help pull vines to make net bags.

Digging ginseng really tests one's skills and patience. After others had carried today's harvest down the mountain, Meng Shibai and Wen Yujin dug out a few ginseng plants.

The ginseng was discovered by Meng Yuxi. Meng Shibai and Wen Yujin worked together to give the Li family the smallest ginseng. Wen Yujin wanted to take a big one, and the remaining three were temporarily taken back by Meng Shibai.

But it is estimated that the Meng family will use it to prepare for the famine, so it would be good if they could keep one.

Meng Yuxi didn’t lack these things, but the original owner did, so she put her hands on her waist and said to her cousin: “This big carrot is mine. I’m going to honor my father when I go back. No one can take it away from me!”

Meng Yiyun was the best person in the Meng family who treated her well. He was kind to her without any distractions and without asking for anything in return. But it was a pity that he was always sick and would feel uncomfortable if she said a few more words or wasted some time.

Meng Shibai couldn't help feeling uncomfortable seeing her like this. It was he who found Meng Yuxi, and she was also his sister, so he felt a strong sense of responsibility. He couldn't even imagine how sad and devastated his cousin would feel when she knew that she was about to lose the father who loved her the most!

As expected, what you fear will come true. Several people happily entered the house with a lot of harvest. When the housekeeper saw Meng Yuxi, he knelt in front of her and cried, "Miss San, the Third Master is dying. Please go and see him for the last time!"

Meng Yuxi was stunned, and took a few steps back, almost falling down. "You, you...what do you mean by no?"

After coming to her senses, Meng Yuxi shook off her cousin who was supporting her and ran forward, lifting her skirt.

Meng Shibai and Meng Shibin looked at each other and immediately followed.

The original owner's emotions were at work, Meng Yuxi's eyes were blurred by tears, and she stumbled all the way.

When she pushed open her father's door, it was eerily quiet inside.

By now she had calmed down. She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, walked steadily to the bed and sat down.

"Xier, my Xier is back." Meng Yiyun's breath was faint and his voice was barely audible.

"Daddy, it's me, your Xier is back!"

Meng Yuxi held his hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again after a moment.

This guy actually starved himself to death in order not to drag down his family!

"Father, are you really going to abandon Xier? Didn't you say you loved Xier the most?"

"You don't keep your word, why did you abandon Xier?"

"Xier finally came back, and finally got her father's protection and knew what it felt like to be loved by her father. Do you really want to be so cruel?"

Meng Yuxi held his hand and placed it on her face, crying uncontrollably, and recounted the difficult days when she was bullied without the protection of her father as a child, and when she followed her adoptive mother to hide and wander around.

"Daddy, please don't leave. Xier doesn't want to live without a father's protection anymore."

"Mother doesn't love me, and my uncles have their own children. Xier, you are the only one left. You promised to protect me for the rest of my life. Please don't leave, please don't leave, Daddy..."

"Even my biological parents can't be relied upon, how can Xier rely on others?"

"Daddy..."

......

"Sister Xi, it's so boring to tend to the vegetable garden at home, how about we go for a walk in the forest?"

After being invited N+1 times by her cousins, Meng Yuxi, who had been in seclusion for nearly ten days, finally nodded and agreed to go out with them.

Meng Yuxi didn't know how long she had been crying for several days. It was not until Meng Yiyun gradually developed a desire to survive that she slowly sent the wood-based ability into his body.

After that, he personally guarded the place for three days, and later moved directly to Meng Yiyun's yard.

As a "punishment", Meng Yuxi pulled out all the flowers and plants in his yard and planted sweet potatoes, potatoes and vegetables instead.

When her uncle Meng Yihui saw that she had actually grown sweet potatoes and potatoes, he immediately ordered people to pull out the flowers and plants in the garden and turn over the land for Meng Yuxi to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes.

He didn't expect normal vegetables or other vegetarian food, he just hoped that his niece could grow sweet potatoes and potatoes before fleeing the famine so that the women and children in the family would not go hungry as much.

Yes, they were hungry. Even though the Meng family had a good background, the women in the family still went hungry all year round.

Normal crops are too expensive, and they cannot afford to eat the food that ordinary people eat. When their economic conditions are not good, they can only go hungry.

Normally, in a family like theirs, the women would deliberately eat less to keep their bodies looking good, but the Meng family really did not have any extra food, and they couldn't even afford to keep a few servants.

Last time, those things, along with Meng Yuxi's personal belongings, were taken away by Grandfather Meng and Uncle Meng to escape the famine.

Half of the ginseng was left for Meng Yiyun and his sons, half of the wheat and half of the sweet potatoes were left, and the rest were secretly taken away when Meng Yuxi was not paying attention.

These past few days, Meng Yuxi had been eating either sweet potatoes or potatoes, nothing new at all. But the Meng family really didn't skimp on her food, so she didn't care about those things. But she also knew that even if they didn't use them to pay off debts or exchange for other supplies, they would share some of them with other people in the family.

The Meng family was really poor. Not only was their family in decline due to the bad times, but they were also dragged down by Meng Yiyun and his two sons.

In fact, the father and his two sons do not have any serious illnesses. They are just diseases of affluence. They just need to be more careful about their diet and take more supplements.

But now is a different kind of famine era, where even coarse grains can’t fill us up, and tonics and supplements are hard to come by...

In fact, it cannot be blamed that Meng Yiyun does not want to live, but the Meng family is too poor. If he were alive and his family supported him, he would have no spare energy to prepare for escaping famine!

Especially when the family is already in debt.

In the original owner's life, after his father Meng Yiyun passed away, his brother Meng Shijin noticed something was wrong, and then he took his younger brother Meng Shixu to follow his father's path. He and his father left the same will, which was to hope that the Meng family and Wen Yujin would treat Meng Yuxi well.

As for his mother Chen Yuerui, not a word was mentioned.

As expected by the father and son, Chen Yuerui couldn't wait to remarry as soon as Meng Yiyun passed the 37th day after her death.
