Chapter 225 Xifeng 9
"Xiao Feng, grandma came here to sign in today, and she actually gave me a hundred copper coins. I counted them carefully several times, and it was really a hundred. Should I give them to you?" After saying that, Grandma Wang raised her hands, and there were exactly a hundred heavy, brand-new copper coins in them.
Lu Changning was sleepy and not fully awake yet. He opened his eyes and looked at the copper coin in front of him. It was shiny!
"Oh, this is the salary the gang gives you, just accept it."
Originally, Grandma Wang had already made up her mind that even if she couldn't get the money, she would have to ask Xiaofeng to give her some. She didn't want much, just seven coins for working for seven days. But she didn't expect Xiaofeng to give her all of them. This made Grandma Wang a little embarrassed to take it: "No, no, I just come here to feed and weed, how can I take so many copper coins, no, how about I take ten! The rest are all yours."
Seeing Grandma Wang like this, Lu Changning pushed her hand back again: "This is your salary, earned through hard work, how can you give it to me! Wouldn't it be better to take it home and buy something delicious for your grandson?"
Seeing Lu Changning's determination, Grandma Wang carefully placed the full handful of copper wire in her arms. It was so heavy that it made a big bulge on her clothes. Grandma Wang looked at it, then put the copper coins in the basket and carefully covered it with a cloth.
Then one day, Grandma Wang became obviously uneasy. After watering the plants, she quickly ran to the basket to check if the coins were there. After feeding the pheasants and rabbits, she quickly came over to count if any coins were missing.
Jiji Wuming, who was fishing by the river, looked at Grandma Wang running around and smiled: "If Grandma Wang had a mobile phone, her step count today would definitely be at the top."
"Who said it wasn't!" Taking advantage of today's happy moment, Lu Changning decided to teach Grandma Wang how to use the system mall.
"Grandma, you've saved up quite a bit of points. Do you want to exchange them for something?"
Grandma Wang was about to go home, holding the basket and laughing: "Can I change it today? I have saved 140 points now!"
"Of course I can change it!"
In addition to the fixed items, the gang's system mall also has a separate row of shelves that can be customized by the gang leader. Lu Changning directly opened the custom shelf: "What does grandma want to change?"
The old lady rubbed her hands together and said, "At the beginning you said that the gang could exchange chickens. I don't know if we can exchange them today."
"Of course you can." Lu Changning entered the option of chicken, and various kinds of chicken instantly appeared in the product column.
There are chickens, big roosters, free-range chickens, broilers, chicks, roast chickens, and even big roosters for riding.
The grandma was shocked by the dazzling array of goods: "Can all this be exchanged?"
"Well, as long as you have enough points, you can exchange it."
The old lady's eyes wandered between the hen and the chicks. A hen cost 100 points, but a chick only cost 20 points. After thinking about it, Grandma Wang decided to exchange a hen and two chicks.
As the choice was made, the item instantly appeared in front of Grandma Wang.
Looking at the plump little hen, Grandma Wang couldn't open her eyes with laughter: "Xiaofeng, did Grandma really take it away?"
Lu Changning put the chicken into Grandma Wang's basket: "Please take it away quickly!"
"Well, fine, I'm going home then."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Grandma Wang's back was originally hunched, but today, perhaps because she was in a good mood, it straightened up a lot. She walked briskly. Looking at Grandma Wang's back as she walked away, Lu Changning felt happy. With these items, Grandma Wang's life should be better in the future.
Ji Ji walked over and stood beside Lu Changning: "Grandma Wang has gained a lot today!"
"Of course not. After all, she has worked so hard for so many days. She deserves it. Didn't you see that grandma is so happy today? She has been smiling all day long."
"Yeah, I saw it." After so many days of getting along, Ji Ji Wu Ming understood Wang Xi Feng's intention. Because he lived in this village, he was particularly concerned about the people in this village. Although he didn't understand how he pulled an NPC into the gang, this move would undoubtedly allow Wang's family to have food and clothing with the help of the sect.
Grandma Wang was also very happy! She didn't expect that she could get so many good things just by taking care of the vegetable garden and feeding the chickens for a few days. She was given 100 copper coins after working for 7 days, which was more than what she could earn from working in the town. How many shoe soles would she have to make to earn these 100 copper coins?
So, on the way home, Grandma Wang, with copper coins in her pocket and a chicken in her hand, would promote the flying monkey to anyone she met.
"Old Ma, look at my hen. She's so energetic. She even laid an egg on the way here!"
Old Ma was carrying water to the vegetables at the door with a shoulder pole, and he was curious when he saw Grandma Wang carrying a chicken. Everyone knew the situation of Grandma Wang's family, they were so poor that they had to spend every penny, so how could she be willing to buy a hen?
"Oh, I didn't notice just now, there are two small ones! Where did you get these from?"
Granny Wang reached out and touched the hen's smooth feathers, holding a warm egg in her hand. "It's Xiao Feng! Didn't he set up a gang a few days ago? I'm working in his gang."
Lao Ma stretched out his hand and stroked his beard: "I know this. I often hear them talking about sect points and so on."
"Yes, it's this point. I don't know what this point means. But it's true that it can be exchanged for things. Look at these three chickens of mine, I exchanged them with points. Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I still have to go home and cook an egg for my daughter to replenish her body!"
Looking at Grandma Wang's back as she walked away, Old Ma looked at the cucumbers and persimmons at the door and thought: "Grandma Wang is strong enough to join a gang, so I should be able to join too! After all, Xiao Feng has come to steal his cucumbers and persimmons quite often. I wonder if his gang can exchange him for a good hoe! Let's go ask now."
It was less than ten minutes' walk from Lu Changning's thatched cottage to Grandma Wang's home, but Grandma Wang walked for an extra half hour. It was not until dark that she slowly walked back home.
In the yard, a girl of eighteen or nineteen was sewing shoe soles in the remaining sunlight. When she saw Grandma Wang coming back, she looked up and said with a smile, "Grandma, why are you back so late today?"
Grandma Wang looked at her granddaughter in the yard. She was at the prime of her life, but because of the burden of her family, she had to stay here until now. She was a good girl, wearing a gray coat with patches on top of patches. When the breeze blew, the baggy clothes swayed, making her look even thinner.
Grandma Wang stepped forward and stuffed the egg in Daya's hand: "This is for you. Cook it and eat it later. Don't give it to your two brothers."
Daya looked at the eggs in her hand with a look of surprise: "Grandma, whose family gave me these eggs?"
Grandma pointed to the three chickens in the chicken coop outside the door and said, "There are not only eggs, but also chickens!"
"Wow, it's really a chicken!" Daya ran to the chicken coop happily. This was the coop that his grandfather and father had woven by hand when they were alive. They had raised chickens before, but they were too poor to raise any more. Unexpectedly, today, their family had chicks again.
"Grandma, did you buy this? Won't you give it away later?"
"I exchanged it with points from Xiaofeng. It belongs to our family from now on. Why send it away? Eat the eggs quickly before your two brothers come back. The chicken will lay eggs again tomorrow, and they are indispensable. You have to take good care of it."
Daya responded and looked at the chickens in the cage with joy, then at the eggs in her hands. That was great, her family now had another way to make money.
When Grandma Wang walked in, the room was dark. The people inside were busy cooking in the kitchen, not wanting to light the kerosene lamp. She coughed from time to time, and it seemed that she was not in good health.
Grandma Wang came in, looked at her busy daughter-in-law, and sighed again. This daughter-in-law had suffered a lot since she married into their family. She lit the kerosene lamp next to her, and finally there was a little light in this dim house.
"Chun Ni, let's go see a doctor tomorrow!"
Chunni looked up at her mother-in-law and shook her head gently. Her face was as white as paper and she was very thin. The loose clothes on her body made her sway violently.
"Mom, it's all an old problem. Why waste this money?"
"How can it be a waste of money? Now we have money." As she said this, Grandma Wang took out a handful of copper coins from her chest and pushed them all in front of her daughter-in-law: "This is my salary. Now we have money, we can let you see a doctor."
The daughter-in-law, who hadn't seen copper coins for a long time, suddenly looked at such a large handful of money with both joy and worry in her eyes: "Mom, how can there be so much money? I am not dreaming!"
"What kind of dream is this!" Grandma Wang put all 100 copper coins into her daughter-in-law's skinny hands: "Take it and see if you are dreaming. We not only have money, but also chickens! Our lives will be better in the future! Daya will not be unable to get married because of us."
Chunni looked at the copper coins in her hand, tears welling up in her deep eyes: "Well, I'll listen to my mother."
The swaying oil lamp next to it, with its flickering flame, seemed to be brighter.
In the thatched house outside the Novice Village, Lu Changning was cooking for his grandfather. That guy was still fishing. He had been fishing for so long, but he didn't catch a single fish!
"Well, if I rely on you, I won't be able to eat fish in my life! Fortunately, I can buy it myself."
When he opened the lid of the pot, the aroma of the braised fish instantly filled the air: "It smells so good. It turns out that people still have to be self-reliant."
After fishing all day without catching any fish, Jiji saw the fragrant braised fish on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly. Why did he feel that the dead fish on the plate was mocking him?
He picked up the chopsticks angrily and poked at the fish's delicious body.
"Boss Ji Ji, the steamed buns are here! Steamed buns dipped in fish soup are a delicious dish!" Lu Changning happily came running with steamed buns in his hand. When he got to the dining table, he saw that only fish soup was left in the huge plate.
Lu Changning: ...
"Where's the fish?"
"He actually dared to defy me, so I tortured him to death."
"Were they all tortured to death?"
Ji Ji burped and said, "It tastes good. I'll catch a fish for you!"
Lu Changning felt that his soul flew to heaven along with the fish.
If you want to eat it, just tell me! I just made more, why do you treat me like this? You didn't even leave a single bite for me!
Lu Changning threw down the steamed bun angrily and was just about to try the fish soup with the steamed bun when Master Ma came with a hoe.
Lu Changning saw it from a distance and was so frightened that he jumped up immediately.
"Why is Master Ma here? Are you here to settle scores with me? Why are you so aggressive? I just ate a few cucumbers and persimmons from him, you won't kill me, will you?"
Lu Changning was thinking about how to run when a bag of tomatoes was thrown in front of him.
Lu Changning looked at the bright red tomatoes on the table, which were clearly freshly picked. "Master Ma, what are these?"
"You like to eat it, right? If you can't finish it, I'll bring you some."
It turned out that they were not here to kill him. Lu Changning felt relieved instantly. He picked up a tomato and started eating it on the spot. Hmm, it was so sweet.
Seeing that he had been tricked, Master Ma sat opposite him and said with a smile, "Since you have accepted my gift, what do you think about joining the sect?"
"Cough cough cough cough," Lu Changning almost choked to death on the tomato: "What, Master Ma, what did you say?"
"I want to join your sect, would you allow me to do so?"
Lu Changning blinked his eyes. This was the first time someone took the initiative to apply to join his sect!
"Yes, of course."
[Ding, Ma Ergen from the Novice Village successfully joins the Sky-High Monkey]
Ji Ji, who was about to go to sleep in the room, heard the system sound and clicked on the introduction of the newcomer.
【Name: Ma Ergen
Race: Terran
Title: Planting Master
Rating: 79
Realm: Great Perfection of the Tribulation Period]
Haha, it turns out to be another hidden monk. After the attack, Jiji Wuming was much calmer this time. He touched his belly, spread out the quilt and prepared to sleep.
They agreed to come to work tomorrow. Lu Changning looked at the clean fish plate and took a bite of the tomato with hatred.
No matter how careful we are, we still can't help but realize that Ma Ye also likes to eat steamed buns dipped in fish soup. Such a sumptuous meal, how could it inexplicably turn into eating dried tomatoes?
A few days later, after working here for seven days, Ma Ye got his new hoe. Since then, the Sky-climbing Monkey has become famous in the Novice Village! More and more villagers could not resist the temptation and joined this small sect of farming and raising chickens.
With the addition of the villagers, this first-level sect was instantly promoted to a second-level sect. If there were no quota limit, I'm afraid that all the villagers in the entire novice village would become members of the Sky-climbing Monkey.
Because the sect's level was upgraded, the influence of the Sky Monkey also expanded! The area of the medicinal field suddenly became more than ten acres. Look at the spirit animal garden, what pheasants, rabbits, wild boars! As long as there are in the back mountain, you can find traces in the Sky Monkey's spirit animal garden.
The villagers were dedicated to their work, and they signed in every day, and completed the gang tasks every day. Therefore, the experience of the Sky Monkey was rising like a rocket! A second-level sect, relying on this group of sweeping monks, rushed to the top 100 of the gang rankings.
Looking at the third and fourth level sects that were left behind, Ji Ji Wuming became a little worried. The Sky-climbing Monkey was jumping a little too fast and was a bit eye-catching.
