How About Setting a Kiddy Engagement?

T/N: Chapter (6/8) sponsored by Madam Daim! Thank you for sponsoring!

After the Double Ninth Festival had pa.s.sed, Du Xiao Li set out preparing to transplant the fruit trees. At the end of the month, she first gave Han Ming Yi a heads up, and the next day several strong men showed up, each one holding a shovel, preparing to use it to dig up tangerine trees.

“Xiao Li, we’ve come.” Leng Er shouted towards Du Xiao Li’s courtyard.

Du Xiao Li came out from the house. Her head of waist long hair no longer casually tied up like before, but rather turned into two small pigtails placed at either side.

“Leng Er, how come you all came so early?” Du Xiao Li opened the bamboo gate, letting those people all come in. “Sorry, my house is rather small, and I don’t have that many stools for you all to sit. Sigh, you all wait here for a moment, we’re almost done.”

With that said, she ran inside again, and very soon came out holding a shovel along with Luo Qi, “Let’s go.”

Leaping over the mountaintop, Luo Qi thus carried Du Xiao Li, using qinggong to bring those people to the place where the tangerine trees were located. Silver also familiarly ran into the mountains on its own to find for itself a meal.

Everyone followed Luo Qi flying towards the mountains. Such an eye-catching farmer squad, probably can only be seen at this time. Especially since these people were all a prince’s bodyguard, yet still came to help her transplant fruit trees. This can also be considered something to have neither predecessors in front, nor successors following after.

Very soon, they arrived at the valley and came to the tangerine orchard. Du Xiao Li had the remaining scattered tangerines picked into her basket, and then shared some with the bodyguards, saying: “The tangerines right now are very sweet, everyone all try some.”

Those bodyguards didn’t refuse either, each taking a tangerine and begin eating. Leng Er held the tangerine in his hand and asked, “What do we need to do?”

“In a while, have these tangerine trees dug out along with its roots. Afterwards, carry them back and just plant them in the holes on the mountain slope.” Du Xiao Li said, “In a bit, everyone watch me demonstrate first and then dig.”

“Okay.” The bodyguards nodded one by one.

That day when Han Ming Yi was attacked, they were all at the river bank and personally witness her save Han Ming Yi and also Leng San. That’s why, towards her, they all had feelings of grat.i.tude.

“Come, you all watch me do it.” Du Xiao Li took the shovel in Luo Qi’s hand, and drew a circle a meter and half away from the tree’s roots. Afterwards, she began to dig, slowly digging out its entire roots.

“This simple?” A bodyguard said. Although they’ve never done farm work before, but watching Du Xiao Li work, it still looked very simple.

“It is very simple, but when you dig, you need to pay attention to not damage the roots.” Du Xiao Li said as she shook her arm.

If not for her inner energy that she’s trained for several months now, afraid she probably wouldn’t have been able to dig up this dirt.

“Alright, we understand.” The bodyguards all picked up their own shovels one by one, found a tree and began digging.

Du Xiao Li looked around, discovering that they all did very well. By the time the first batch was all dug up, everyone collectively picked up the fruit trees and flew back.

Arriving at the mountaintop, the holes that Du Xiao Li had people dig at the time were still there. Just, the soil to the side have already solidified. She placed a tangerine tree into the hole and had the soil to the side shoveled back in. Using the shovel, she lightly patted on top a few times and said, “And like this, it’s planted. Later, you can just sprinkle some water.”

The bodyguards successively had the tangerine trees placed into the holes and planted them, leaving behind two people to water the trees, while the others went into the mountains again to continue digging.

When the tree planting project had progressed halfway, Han Ming Yi and Ji Liu Feng strolled over. Seeing him, the bodyguards successively called out young master.

“Big brother Yi, did you also come help me plant tangerine trees?” Du Xiao Li was propping up a tree, while Leng Er shoveled dirt into the hole. Seeing Han Ming Yi, she waved her hand at him, as she teased him.

Han Ming Yi apparently was also rather interested in this, and came to Leng Er’s side taking over the shovel. Imitating his actions just now, Han Ming Yi had the dirt piled into the hole.

“The holes you dug that time, so it was actually for planting tangerine trees.” Ji Liu Feng looked to the already half filled hole and said.

“Hehe.”” Du Xiao Li laughed, but didn’t say anything.

“Never thought that Ming Yi you would look so proper doing this.” Ji Liu Feng teased as he watched Han Ming Yi finished filling the pit and even patted the dirt a few times like the others.

“Big brother Yi did very well!” Du Xiao Li said. He’d only watched Leng Er pile in half and already knew what to do, indeed not bad.

“Haha, then do you want to take him in to do farm work for you?” Ji Liu Feng asked with a laugh. Seeing Han Ming Yi go wash his hands, he then asked, “That’s right, I heard last time, when he fell into the water, you woke him with a kiss. Also last time, you’d had his body thoroughly seen too. Want him to take responsibility?”

“What waking with a kiss, that’s called mouth-to-mouth breathing!” Du Xiao Li rolled her eyes at Ji Liu Feng, correcting his wrong wording.

“In any case, the results are all the same.” Ji Liu Feng said, “That was your first kiss right? Don’t you want to let him take responsibility?”

Du Xiao Li thought for a moment. That was indeed her two lifetime’s first kiss!

Seeing Ji Liu Feng having other intentions in his gaze, she inserted the shovel into the ground and said, “En, big brother Yi is quite good-looking, how about set a kiddy engagement then!”

“Haha!” Ji Liu Feng heard her words and began laughing hysterically.

“However, I’ve said before, to be my husband, his eyes and heart all can only have me alone, can’t have concubines, can’t frequent brothels, tsk tsk, I reckon big brother Yi won’t agree either. That’s why this responsibility talk, it’s best to just let it go. Rather, can give me some money as compensation.” Du Xiao Li said with a smile.

“Really a greedy demon!” Ji Liu Feng disdainfully glanced at her, then turned his head towards Han Ming Yi, and said, “Ming Yi, this girl said you stole her first kiss and wants you to take responsibility!”

Seeing how Han Ming Yi just stood there, not saying anything, Du Xiao Li said, “Big brother Yi, I’m just joking with big brother Liu Feng!”

“What are you doing denying it!” Ji Liu Feng placed his hand on Du Xiao Li’s shoulder and said, “Let me tell you, he’s a very rich boy, yo!”

“If he can’t reach my standards, no matter how rich he is, I all don’t want! Especially ones like you.” Du Xiao Li slapped away Ji Liu Feng’s hand and said.

“Ming Yi, you’re being disdained!” Ji Liu Feng automatically ignored Du Xiao Li’s latter words and looked to Han Ming Yi.

Han Ming Yi didn’t bother with Ji Liu Feng, looking to Du Xiao Li instead and asking, “How many more tangerine trees are there still?”

Du Xiao Li looked around the mountain slope at the already planted ones and said, “I think once they come back this time, it should be more or less all of it.”

Because those bodyguards were all very fast, in less than a day, the entire mountaintop was planted full of tangerine trees. The originally barren mountaintop, in this moment, appeared verdant.

Those that didn’t live in the village, after finish planting the tangerine trees, just left. Leng Er and the others, along with Luo Qi, were in charge of watering the remaining trees.

Du Xiao Li stood in the middle of the tangerine orchard, staring at the mountain full of tangerine trees. Her mood was extremely cheerful.

“From now on, I’m a fruit farmer, hahaha!” Du Xiao Li said, very pleased with herself.

“Look at how happy you are!” Ji Liu Feng said with a smile.

“Hehe, before, I kept feeling uneasy inside, but now that the tangerine trees have been planted, I feel much better inside!” Du Xiao said.

After Han Ming Yi and the others left, Du Xiao Li and Luo Qi had the wheat stalks that they’d already bought brought out and placed some under every tangerine tree. This way, it can block the sun, and can also draw in dew for the tangerine tree.

Finishing these things, they can finally be considered to have completed the transplant. Du Xiao Li stood outside the courtyard in satisfaction, looking at the mountain filled with tangerine trees. She thought to herself, starting from today, she’ll have her own orchard!

T/N: Can’t tell if Jiu Liu Feng is shipping or just trolling…..I kind wanted to read into Han Ming Yi’s thoughts, but the author rarely writes about what he’s thinking.
