Chapter 11: The Overbearing Little Red and the Arrogant Little Black (Part 1)

  Selling peaches doesn't actually require both of them to go, and besides, there's also Shang Nianjun and the others helping with picking and delivery. Sun Zhenxiang also disagreed with letting Zhao Yang follow along, saying that these past few days have gotten all the kids sunburned.

  Actually, Zhao Yang is not really dark-skinned at all! It's just a mother doting on her child.

  In short, Zhao Yang returned to his original life of gathering herbs in the morning and helping people with their illnesses in the afternoon.

  The practice of "Zengyuan Fa" without the disturbance of worldly trivialities, combined with the influence of Taiji formed by the heart and kidney Qi, has elevated other organs that were not at 100% to 99%!

  However, Zhao Yang understood that although it seemed like they were all just a line away from reaching perfection, the improvement would not happen simultaneously and there would still be an order to it. The next organ to reach 100% in terms of Qi and Blood should be the Stomach!

  The stomach and spleen are the acquired foundation, and the stomach is also the first passageway for food digestion. Only when it is strong can it absorb more nutrients to provide more qi and blood for other organs.

  Zhao Yang walked back with the medicinal herbs he had dug up in the morning, and along the way, many people greeted him, to which he smiled and nodded in response. As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, he caught a whiff of the fragrance of scallion oil pancakes.

  Locals mainly eat rice, but Zhao Yang studied and worked outside, so he also likes various kinds of noodles. Recently, Sun Zhenxiang, who has been in a good mood, started thinking about making all sorts of noodle dishes.

  In the kitchen, Sun Zhenxiang hummed a tune from their era while putting fragrant oil cakes into a rice basket. Seeing Zhao Yang coming in through the window and hearing him call out "Mom, I'm back!", she happily responded with a smile, carrying the large cake as she walked out.

  Seeing Zhao Yang's robust and energetic appearance, Sun Zhenxiang couldn't help but feel delighted. She remembered that when Zhao Yang returned home, he was in low spirits and said he wanted to stay at home, which made her worry at the time. But unexpectedly, since Zhao Yang returned home, good things have been happening one after another:

  She first learned that Zhao Yang had learned to see a doctor and was taking care of her body with Zhao Bingxing, curing the waist pain that had been bothering her for many years, and also got Zhao Bingxing to quit smoking!

  Then, using Zhao Yang's method, not only were the pests in the orchard easily eliminated, but they are now selling at a good price! Today is not included, and in just six days, nearly 25,000 yuan has been sold! This is half of last year's total income from ten acres of orchards!

  I'm in good health, my son is capable, Zhao Bingxing is healthy, and this year's fruit income is great! These few good things have reduced Sun Zhenxiang's wrinkles by a lot!

  Now she is no longer anxious about Zhao Yang's marriage, because the matchmakers have almost worn out her doorstep! Now she wants to take a closer look and listen carefully, lest another thing like last time happens again!

  Not only are things going well for people, but even the chickens in our house have been laying more and bigger eggs recently!

  Of course, the appetite has increased a lot, and the chicken feed that used to last for a day now only lasts for half a day!

  Speaking of appetite, Sun Zhenxiang recently felt that their family of three had a big appetite, and they thought they cooked a lot of food, but why didn't it last long?

  The hot scallion oil rice was quickly devoured by Zhao Yang, who then picked up another piece with one hand and began gnawing on a braised pig's trotter with the other. He ate four pieces of flatbread and half a pig's face before finally stopping.

  Watching him eat with relish, Sun Zhenxiang also had a half oily pancake and a bowl of vegetables.

  While putting away the tableware, Sun Zhenxiang said: "The chicken has been eating too well lately, why don't we wait a while and slaughter that red rooster to make some wine for you two?"

  "Why kill it? Let it be!"

  Zhao Yang couldn't bear to kill Xiao Hong!

  Recently, Xiaohong has changed a lot. The feathers have become shiny and bright, the big red crown has added two thick and large chicken claws, and it often grinds its beak on the ground, looking very fierce! Moreover, Zhao Yang found that it recently looked down on those chicken feeds, starting to catch scorpions and centipedes from the cracks in the stones to eat!

  Zhao Yang said not to kill, and Sun Zhenxiang naturally listened to her son's words. She saw Zhao Yang put a specially cooked large bone into a bag and was about to leave, so she hurriedly said: "Let me take it! It's too hot today, I'll go to the orchard too!"

  That big femur has become Xiao Hei's daily necessity! Because Taozi sells good meat, and Xiao Hei is particularly human-like, Sun Zhenxiang naturally doesn't mind spending money! Moreover, because Zhao Yang cured Zhang Dahu's eye disease, when buying meat he barely accepts her payment, but that hind leg bone is something he refuses to accept payment for eight out of ten times!

  Following Zhao Yang to the orchard, Sun Zhenxiang thought of something again and said casually: "Yangyang, you say that red rooster is really bold, dare to fight with Xiao Hei for meat on the bone!"

  Sun Zhenxiang still didn't think Xiao Hong was so bold!

  They hadn't even reached the orchard when they heard Xiao Hei barking. As they drew closer, they saw that the chickens were all hiding at the foot of the wall, with Xiao Hei standing guard in front of them, its front legs on the ground, barking furiously at something ahead. And in front of it was Xiaohong, and in front of Xiaohong was a yellow snake!

  That snake coiled into a ball, as big as a washbasin, raised its head and occasionally made hissing sounds, while the triangular head looked venomous at first glance!

  Little Red tilted her face, shaking her red comb, clucking, clucking, and lifting her claws up and down, without any sign of fear!

  Sun Zhenxiang was afraid of snakes and hastily said: "Yangyang, quickly find something to drive the snake away! Don't let it bite our chicken!"

  Zhao Yang calmly said: "Don't worry! Let's see and talk later!"

  The venomous snake felt someone approaching, raised its head a little higher, opened its mouth as wide as possible, and let out a hissing intimidating sound!

  At the time of speaking, it was too late, and at that moment, Little Red's paws grasped the ground, and she rushed forward fiercely, flapping her wings and jumping up. With one peck, she struck the snake's head!

  Bang! Bang! The snake's head was smashed into a pulp! Only the snake's body remained, twitching on the ground!

  The little black pounced forward, and the little red immediately stepped on the snake's body, flapping its wings to face the little black, and the circle of hair on its neck also stood up!

  Zhao Yang hurriedly called out to Xiao Hei and threw the big stick bone at it.

  With the meaty bones, Xiao Hei held on and lay down to gnaw on them. Meanwhile, Xiao Hong stretched her head to take a look, but unlike previous times when she would rush forward to fight for scraps of meat, this time she lowered her head to peck at the snake's corpse, then picked it up in her beak and dragged it away to a safe corner, where she began to eat it piece by piece.

  Zhao Yang sighed silently. Other snakes, especially venomous ones, had high medicinal value, but he couldn't fight a chicken for spoils, could he?

  "Wow, this chicken has become a spirit!"

  Little Red ate her fill and then dozed off next to the big snake, woke up and continued eating, before nightfall the snake had even swallowed its own tail!

  In the afternoon, Zhao Bingxing returned and happily handed over 3,000 yuan to Sun Zhenxiang. This means that this year's two mu of early peaches were sold for a total of 28,000 yuan!

  In the evening, Sun Zhenxiang had prepared a table of fine wine and good dishes. Zhao Bingxing, who had never gotten drunk in front of his son even when Zhao Yang was admitted to university, got drunk for the first time today!

  "Zhao Yang, you've really learned something! Even if you go back home to farm, I'd be at ease!"

  Zhao Yang felt a surge of warmth in his heart and downed the wine in one gulp!

  Sun Zhenxiang also made an exception and drank a little wine, seeing a family sitting together, sharing joy, feeling that this joy was doubled and filled with heart!

  P.S: I'll post a small chapter first. If the other half isn't finished today, it will be updated tomorrow morning... not intentionally doing this...
