Chapter 497: Growing Up in an Instant!

Grandma He and others moved things inside.The young woman held the little girl and hesitated whether to speak, but seeing the Li family like this, she let out a sigh of relief and turned her head towa...Jia Yin pouted and ignored the famished little green snake. Then, she found a smooth, large bluestone beside the nursery and lay down on it, casually pulling a tender cucumber to munch on.

Logically speaking, I should be very successful today. I successfully fooled a dessert shop from "Long Dahuai" and helped my godfather find a loyal person, even coaxing "Long Dahuai" to be happy.

But she was a little bit complex in her feelings.

She knew this was the Heaven Martial Empire where imperial authority reigned supreme, not like the era from her past life that claimed equality for all.

In a past life, there was the rule of law and democracy.

But here, everything is done according to the Emperor's will.

Someone could be bestowed with wealth and honor because of a single word from the emperor.

There are also centuries-old families that were wiped out because of a single word from the emperor.

Before, although she knew these things, she lived under the protection of her family and never paid attention.

Today, this sudden sense of clarity and reality hit me pretty hard.

The shrewd and suave Second Uncle, along with the intelligent and cultured Mr. Wen, needed to bend their waists when before the Emperor and could not sit down casually.

And his foster father, who was renowned for his military achievements and towering stature, was even the emperor's cousin. One had to be extremely cautious when speaking to him...

Thinking carefully, ever since the Li family arrived at Suijin Beach and built their new village, they have never lacked imperial protection.

Although there was the Marquis to keep things in order, and Mr. Wen to oversee matters, and the villagers worked together diligently, it would have been difficult without the occasional expressions of favor and affection shown by the Emperor.

The fat scraps of Suijintan were long ago divided among the wolves!

Logically speaking, she, her entire family, and even hundreds of villagers should be respectful and grateful to the Emperor.

But her mind, unstoppable, suddenly came up with an idea. What if one day, their family was no longer favored by the emperor, no longer valued by him, and even seen as a threat...

Then, what would it be like

Could her beloved home be destroyed in an instant

Beloved family members will be beheaded

Is everything good gone

Even just thinking about it, without it actually happening, she felt fear.

It's really not a good feeling to rely on others for everything.

Perhaps, she should do something.

At the very least, one shouldn't indulge in the shelter and affection of their family any longer, wishing to remain eternally childish.

Her childhood should be over!

She can't be as mischievous, playful and spoiled as she used to be, enjoying herself without any restraint.

She was going to try to make a plan, try to set a goal, try to make herself stronger.

In the future, she can also repay her family and protect her family...

The chubby little girl on the bluestone took a deep breath, clenched her tiny fist and punched at the grayish sky, shouting loudly.

"I can't slack off anymore, I have to grow up!"

As if responding to her, the sky suddenly flickered for a moment.

Then, starting from the edge of the nursery, the five-mu plot of self-cultivated land quickly turned black.

Although it's still not as good as a nursery, it looks much better than the ordinary land before.

Jia Yin, being in the same space, immediately realized the change. She flipped over and scrambled to her feet, her mouth agape in surprise. "Wow, this... Is this a little gift for me An encouragement to do better"

She happily jumped off the stone and ran to the ground, looking around.

The corn, potatoes, and vegetables she had planted earlier seemed to show little change, but as she stood among them, she could faintly feel a sense of joy.

It seems like she feels so full of satisfaction and happiness every time after a meal!

Obviously, all the crops were also satisfied because they benefited from this change.

The few plots of land in the nursery grew at a rate dozens of times faster than normal.

These five mu of self-cultivated land, even if they don't reach the magical level of the nursery, would at least be somewhat improved, right

Jiayin hurriedly found some cabbage seeds and turned over a patch of empty ground, planting them directly.

Then she crouched down beside it and waited, but alas, the cabbage seedlings still didn't sprout.

Bored, she found paper and pen and made a short-term plan.

Even though she cherished her carefree childhood, she said that growing up was something she truly desired.

While you're still young, there are things you must learn.

For example... Train in martial arts!

Jia Yin pinched her stomach, which was covered in five layers of fat, gritted her teeth, and wrote the two characters "martial arts" on the first line.

The second is to study medicine. With such a great resource as Doctor Zhang, if you can't learn some life-saving skills, it would be a waste.

The third is to learn the rules, not just learn them, but master them. Perhaps one day, the rules will not be a constraint, but rather a weapon she uses to strike down others.

The fourth is reading. Even if you can't take the imperial examinations, you should always familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of this world, history, and know your enemy and yourself.

The fifth is to have a marketable skill, such as cooking or sewing, or ideally both.

Just like Grandma said, if there ever comes a day when I need to rely on my own hands to stay alive, at least I won't be helpless...

The day's plan lies in the morning.

Diligent households usually get up before dawn.

Men chopped firewood and went swimming, while women fed chickens and pigs, cooked and did laundry, each doing their own part.

Only children can lie in bed for a while, but they also have to get up when the sun rises before the window, otherwise, if the sun doesn't shine on their butts, their butts will be opened by mom first!

In Li's courtyard, Old Mrs. Li had already changed into a new dress, washed up, and walked around the front yard again, but she still didn't see her granddaughter get up. She was a little worried, so she went to the next door.

Grandma He was combing the little lady's hair when she saw Old Madam enter, and smiled: "Miss slept very soundly last night, just woke up a while ago."

Jiayin smiled, showing a small white tooth. She had one braid and the rest of her hair was loose as she ran towards Grandma and hugged her, like a little dog, wriggling in her arms. "Grandma, where did you go Funiu misses you!"

"You little rascal, always trying to sweet-talk Grandma! You just saw me last night, acting like you've been away on a long trip. Hurry up and wash up, your mother is waiting for us to eat." Li Laotai tapped her granddaughter's forehead, but her face was blooming with a smile at being coaxed.

Jia Yin hugged Grandma and acted cute for a while before letting Grandma comb the other braid.

When she was done, she jumped down and held her grandmother's hand, walking quietly towards the front yard.

Li Laotai frowned slightly, looking up and down at her granddaughter, feeling that something was amiss.

But the granddaughter, besides standing a little straighter, was still that chubby little girl, nothing else different.

It must have been her overthinking things…

The whole family sat around the round table, eating breakfast and talking about their busy day ahead.

Li Zhensheng still went to the wine shop. Li Lao'er needed to organize the accounts for this month at Hot Spring Valley, as they had to distribute food and wages at the end of the month.

Tao Hongying needs to adjust the set menu at the Onsen Valley this morning, and she'll also have to go to the restaurant this afternoon. Tomorrow is another day for making private dishes, so she needs to prepare today.

Li Lao Si had to wait for the Lord to return and go to the dock together.

After everyone finished speaking, before Li Lao Tai could nod her head, Jia Yin also chimed in, "This morning I have to learn etiquette and write twenty pages of large characters. This afternoon, I'm going to find my master to learn needlework."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Li Laoer said, "Our Funiu is also very busy, but we must do our best and not overwork ourselves."

"Understood, Second Uncle, I will try my best." Jiayin's chubby face was tense, full of seriousness, which made everyone laugh even harder.ad and Liu Biaotou.Now Li La Er doesn't often stay in the village, and all the affairs within and outside the village are managed by the village head and Liu Biao Tou.Hearing suddenly that the Marquis...
