Chapter 708: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 708: Da Hu and San Ya Are Not Here
After completing the registration, Shuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She tidied up and prepared to go home and take a nap. Apart from the clearing team and the hunting team, there were other tasks to be done, such as the entertainment group at the music house. However, their return time was unpredictable. They hadn't come back since yesterday when they went to perform somewhere. Therefore, there were caretakers assigned to look after them, and they didn't need to report to the village regularly.
Shu Yu locked the register book and bid farewell to Wang Changdong. "Brother Wang, I'm going back now. If you need any help, just send someone to call me."
"Okay, go ahead," Wang Changdong replied with a yawn. He was also tired and planned to take a nap.
Shu Yu washed her hands and left the village state. Aunt Fang accompanied her. Aunt Fang now had more free time. After preparing breakfast every day, she didn't have much to do. There were caretakers to handle the dishes and stove. She could go home to take care of her husband, do some laundry, and tidy up the house. She had about an hour of free time. When it was mid-morning, she would return to the village to prepare meals.
She even mentioned to Shu Yu, "Once things stabilize here, I'll raise a few chickens that can lay eggs. It'll be good for Xiyue. By the way, where did you get the chickens at your house?"
The chickens at Shu Yu's house were raised by her grandmother. She had wanted to raise a pig, but Shu Yu didn't agree, fearing that it would be too much work for her grandmother, so they gave up on the idea.
"The chickens at our house were brought by my brother from the county town. They are four months old and still can't lay eggs. If Aunt Fang wants to buy chickens that can lay eggs now, I can take Xiyue to the county town on her next day off."
"Okay, thank you for that."
As they continued their conversation, they parted ways near their homes.
Shuyu entered the house, and her grandmother and San Ya had already finished eating. Since Shuyu hadn't specified when she would return, her grandmother kept her food warm in the pot.
Shuyu peeled a boiled egg and ate it while leaving the rest to keep warm.
"Grandmother, from now on, I'll have breakfast at the manor, so you don't need to wake up so early," Shu Yu told her grandmother, explaining the situation. Her grandmother was delighted because having breakfast at the manor was much better. Otherwise, she would be very hungry by the time she finished her work and returned home.
Her grandmother quickly pushed Shu Yu back to her room. "Okay, I've noted everything you said. Go to sleep."
Shu Yu was indeed a little tired. She had gotten used to waking up later during the past few days and felt insufficient sleep when she woke up earlier than usual.
Shu Yu smiled and greeted her younger brother and sister before returning to her room.
However, even though she had enough sleep, she woke up half an hour later.
After lying in bed for a while, she sat up and washed her face. Then she noticed that there was only her grandmother in the house. Da Hu and San Ya were nowhere to be seen.
Usually, at this time, Da Hu should be in his room reading and teaching San Ya how to read. But now, they were both absent.
Her grandmother wouldn't let them go out alone. They had just arrived in Zhengdao Village and didn't know many families. It was a place with many prisoners, and her grandmother couldn't trust them to wander around on their own.
When Zhao Xi was around, he would take them out to gather firewood and catch fish, and they would play before returning home.
Shu Yu walked up to her grandmother, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, and asked, "Grandma, where are Da Hu and San Ya? Why haven't I seen them?"
