Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 178 The Day Before the Picnic

Lin Chunyi rubbed her lower back and stretched her numb legs. Then she said to Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, who were still diligently searching for caterpillars ahead:

"Keep it up! Once you've cleaned up all the bugs in this yard, I'll give you a treat for lunch today!"

"Goo goo!" The yellow-haired ball with black tail feathers and the round ball with white fur both responded happily, indicating that they would work hard!

Lin Lanshan clicked her tongue and thought to herself: If those two even had a kindergarten diploma, they wouldn't be so stupid.

There are so many vegetables in the outer courtyard. By the time they finish eating all the vegetable worms on them, they'll probably be too full to move!

They can't even eat anything good... It's already a miracle they don't have to rub their bellies to help them digest.

But Tuantuan and Yuanyuan don't have kindergarten diplomas.

They only know that there will be good food after they finish their work, so they're all working with great enthusiasm among the potato sprouts!

Come to think of it, it's been six months since I bought the Reunion and Peace and peaches!

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan have grown from tiny little blondies to big girls that you can't hug with one hand.

The "girls" are petite and cute, but their personalities are incredibly wild! They're always running around with An'an, Kang Kang, and Tao Zi, eating, playing, and getting beaten up together...

An'an and Kang Kang are two mischievous boys who are always getting into trouble! But as proper geese, once they are cleaned, their snow-white feathers are truly beautiful.

When they were just a month or two old, they had some light gray downy hairs on their bodies.

I don't know if it's because they swim every day and the color has faded. Now they're both completely white, almost identical, and it's hard to tell them apart.

Every single day, every single moment, he walks with his long neck craned back and his big, slapping feet. He acts all high and mighty, incredibly arrogant!

Unlike Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang, which were already seven years old when I bought them, Taozi has hardly changed in size.

Six months have passed, and all he's gained is a robust physique! Aside from his penchant for eating anything, he doesn't have any other major problems.

Lin Lanshan sighed. In the blink of an eye, Tuanyuan Ankang is almost seven months old, and Taozi is already seven and a half years old. Time really flies!

……

It took the two people and their two pets a whole morning to tidy up the vegetable garden in the outer yard.

At noon, the sunlight was gentle and just right.

The two sisters pulled out all the weeds from the vegetable garden and piled them up, their foreheads already beaded with sweat.

Lin Chunyi lowered her head slightly, wiped the sweat onto her sleeve, and sat down at the gate of the courtyard, gazing at the sky.

"Let's try our best to finish all the chores around the house today. With such nice weather, let's go on a picnic tomorrow! Lanshan, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

It's all about balancing work and rest. They always take a day off after a day's work. It's not like they're working for survival; there's no need to push themselves so hard. A more relaxed and free life is much better!

She finished speaking in one breath, then took out a warm cup of tea from her storage space and gulped it down.

Planning a picnic?

Lin Lanshan's fatigue from working vanished instantly, and she excitedly exclaimed, "Yes! I want roast chicken!"

"Okay, anything else?"

"Roasted chicken with chestnuts!" The chicken was tender and slightly sweet, with a wonderful flavor.

"Hmm...what else?"

"Roasted chicken with chestnuts and chili powder!" It's sweet and spicy, simply the ultimate deliciousness!

"Are you a weasel that has transformed into a spirit? I'm asking about everything except roast chicken!" Lin Chunyi couldn't help but facepalm.

Besides roast chicken...

Lin Lanshan frowned and thought for a while before giving in, "Alright, let's have roasted rabbit and roasted fish!"

"Okay! As long as there's roasted meat, that's fine, right? But all we have left from our previous hunt are three whole rabbits and a wild deer, and the chickens have long been chopped into pieces."

Hmm... let me think of something else..." Lin Chunyi thought and thought, then suddenly a good idea flashed into her mind.

"Picnic, picnic, why do we need to bring our own food? There's so much good food in the mountains. Why don't we go out of the valley tomorrow and find a suitable place in the deep mountains for a picnic?"

We'll bake whatever we find! How about that? It'll be fun to find "blind boxes" and fill our stomachs at the same time!

Lin Lanshan said with a sly look, "Wow~ Sis, you're so good at this~ Hehe, but I like it, so let's do it! Come on, let's go back and cook, we'll have a big meal later."

This afternoon I need to focus on speed and strength! I need to finish things at home quickly so I can prepare what I need to bring tomorrow.

The two patted the dirt off their hands and the dust off their clothes, and headed towards the kitchen.

As Lin Lanshan walked, she continued, "Should we bring Taozi and Tuanyuan Ankang with us? It's just the two of us, isn't it a bit lonely?"

"I can bring them, but lately there have been more wild animals roaming around in the mountains, and I'm worried that they will become the winter food reserves for the large group and four small animals that are on the move!"

Lin Lanshan sat by the stove, holding a handful of dry pine needles in one hand and a tinderbox in the other, blowing on it to light it.

Then, nonchalantly, he said, "Sis, what's there to worry about in broad daylight? If one comes, we'll kill it; if two come, it's just another day of eating. I'm confident enough!"

For us, the point of practicing martial arts is simply to live life however we want, and if anyone makes me unhappy, I'll make their life miserable!

"Forget about carrying a few little burdens. Once we've mastered the inner cultivation technique, even if we were sitting at the entrance of a tiger's, lion's, or brown bear's den eating, what could they do to us!"

Since coming into this world, they have been extremely careful in their words and actions, afraid that someone will notice anything different about them, or that they will offend someone they cannot afford to offend...

This was the first time Lin Chunyi had ever seen her younger sister speak so arrogantly and even conceitedly.

However, after thinking about it, she felt that...

"That makes sense! Being overly cautious would be a waste of our martial arts skills. Alright, let's get them some food and fruit, and have a picnic together!"

After being timid and hesitant for so long, they can still afford to be reckless with this little bit of excitement!

Lin Lanshan chuckled at this point and began to push her luck.

"Picnics are all about having fun! Sis, let's invite the three little squirrels and the lynx to join us for a picnic tomorrow, the more the merrier!"

"...I think the mother tiger and her cub would be a good fit. Why don't you just go to the tiger's den and invite them over too? We could have a big mixed feast!"

"Is it really possible?" Lin Lanshan straightened up instantly, tilted her head back, and asked with an expectant look on her face.

Having a picnic and barbecue with tigers! Holy crap, just imagining that scene is absolutely awesome!

Lin Chunyi poured lard into the pan and was about to fry the eggs when she heard this. She almost couldn't resist grabbing the spatula and hitting her sister on the head.

"You can do it my ass! You think you're so great just because you have a little ability? Why don't you just fly to the sky? Now shut up and keep your fire going!"

"Oh~ Fine, then don't do it~ You were the one who suggested it, and now you're yelling at me, that's so mean..." Lin Lanshan muttered under her breath.

But how could such a sound possibly escape Lin Chunyi's current hearing?

She raised the spatula that hadn't yet been put into the oil pan, glared at her, and Lin Lanshan immediately shrank back, obediently adding firewood to the stove.

Just by pouting slightly, her lips could hold an oil lamp!
