An album, a good song, has rejuvenated the Leaf Fan community after two months of silence; the leaves are still the same leaves they love.
The most popular catchphrase in the Bodria Star System recently has been: I am who I am...! I like myself...! Chatting, joking, boasting—anyway, as long as I open my mouth without needing to flaunt myself, it’s outdated and not trendy.
Cabrera, the well-known commentator, also weighed in: How can someone who doesn’t even like themselves achieve anything? Miss Leaf advocates for everyone to "love themselves"! Suddenly, Yezhi was elevated. The image of the unscrupulous vendor who discriminates against the poor faded in people's eyes; even if there were criticisms against her, they wouldn’t stir up much trouble. After all, Leaf sings about being true to oneself, “Earth's Rarity” should be run however she wants; it’s her online shop!
Yezhi is indeed lucky, with things trending positively. Xiao Fang happily counted the shining Bodeton, “Master, today we made 100,000 in sales!”
“What did we sell?”
Xiao Fang looked at Leaf with admiration, “Your album, your posters!”
“And your photos!” Xingli shouted while holding up a large picture of Yezhi. Having been together for a while, Yezhi no longer felt the need to hide and revealed to Xingli that she was Leaf. Xingli wasn’t surprised at all and said she had noticed long ago and was just waiting for her to confess. Yezhi felt embarrassed; she had played the role of “Sister Leaf” so enthusiastically for so long only to be exposed—it was truly humiliating.
“Sister Ye, recently with “Earth Heat,” let’s sell some authentic Earth Apparel!” She had been envious of Sister Ye’s new clothes for a long time; this was an opportunity!
Yezhi adjusted her blue floral top and smiled proudly. This outfit was meticulously sewn by Sister Luo, with impeccable craftsmanship that combined the strengths of both Aunt Zhou and herself. The decorative knot buttons added a finishing touch. From a modern perspective, it was indeed a beautiful piece of clothing; wherever she wore it recently, it received compliments. She didn’t expect that Xingli would also like it; the prospects in the alien market looked promising...
However, nowadays, people bringing rare fabrics to Sister Luo for clothing are nearly trampling her doorstep. Elder Brother Yu even created a small booklet specifically to register visiting “customers,” and it’s said that seven or eight pages have already been filled.
“Selling clothes is still not feasible!” Sister Luo simply couldn’t keep up; without productivity, everything remained just talk.
Xingli felt a bit disappointed, her beautiful big eyes blinking as she suddenly spoke, "Sister Ye, as the star employee of 'Earth's Rarity,' I need to dress beautifully to welcome guests. Could you make me an outfit first?" Yezhi looked at Xingli with a half-smile, causing Xingli to gradually blush and lower her head.
...
The busy days and nights had made Yezhi's round face from the New Year become sharp and thin. Zhou Village Head led everyone to the newly cultivated rice fields, where they built a Duck House. The five breeding eggs at home had also been hatched by Xiaofan. When the five ducklings broke out of their shells, not only Xiaofan but even Wolf Child was excited, unable to help but marvel at the miracle of life. The two little ones insisted on sleeping with the five ducklings at night, their laughter and the soft quacking sounds echoing throughout the night.
The next day, when Yezhi was about to send the five ducklings away, Xiaofan cried heart-wrenchingly, rolling and crawling after her, hugging her leg and refusing to let go. Wolf Child, being straightforward, stood in front of her with a posture that said she wouldn't let her leave without the ducklings. Black Treasure didn't understand what was happening and rushed forward to give Xiaofan a tight hug, its chubby rear affectionately nudging against Xiaofan.
Niu Niu had sharp eyes; perhaps it formed an innate understanding with its owner when Cilou Dog recognized its master. It sensed that its beloved owner was in trouble and bit Black Treasure fiercely. After that, Xiaofan jumped onto Yezhi's shoulder, her beautiful big eyes fixed on Wolf Child as if ready to zap her at any moment.
Yu Jianhua and his wife rushed out, looking at their son with tears and snot all over his face, feeling both heartbroken and amused. Aunt Zhou couldn't stand seeing her "good grandson" cry and immediately hugged Xiaofan, soothing her gently.
"Girl, I'm going to the Commune to buy five more! Just keep these five ducklings!" Yezhi looked up at the sky, thinking Aunt Zhou was a typical "filial grandparent," who would probably find a way to get the moon for Xiaofan if she asked for it.
"Auntie, I don't want any special treatment!" While she felt sorry for Xiaofan, she believed children should learn about refusal and limitations sometimes.
"These five were hatched by Xiaofan...!"
Before Aunt Zhou could finish her sentence, Yezhi interrupted her. "Auntie, Er Niu cried all the way while delivering the ducklings to Team; you saw that; besides, Zhou Xiaomu also had red eyes when she sent the ducklings to Team with her mother. And..." Aunt Zhou was already left speechless. Elder Brother Yu and Sister Luo exchanged glances; Sister Luo took Xiaofan in her arms. "Xiaofan! The ducklings live in our house; it's sad they can't reunite with their siblings or parents! Xiaofan is a good child and wouldn't want to see them sad, right?" Xiaofan thought for a moment and silently nodded.
Yezhi was also trying to persuade Wolf Child. Wolf Child was stubborn; she had feelings for the ducklings and didn't want them to leave.
"Xiaofan is not allowed to cry anymore; Wolf Child is not allowed to block the way anymore. Actually, the ducklings are just moving to another place; you can visit them anytime you want!"
Xiao Fan looked seriously at Yezhi and asked, "Can we really go see the ducklings anytime?" Yezhi nodded vigorously. With that assurance, Xiao Fan ran over to Wolf Child and whispered in his ear. Surprisingly, it worked; Wolf Child finally stopped blocking the way, and the whole family joyfully escorted the ducks to Team.
...
The spring breeze blew, and the wild grass grew. Now Yezhi was overwhelmed with just pulling weeds every day. Sister Luo appreciated the villagers' care for her family and worked hard to make clothes for Everyone. In just a few days, she became haggard. Aunt Zhou and Yezhi took turns persuading her. Although Sister Luo promised to take it easy, she would turn around and start sewing again. Elder Brother Yu, besides teaching Wolf Child and helping Xiao Fan with writing, took over the kitchen again, and the meals became more delicious.
Aunt Zhou was tireless, working herself to exhaustion. One moment she was in the fields, the next on a hillside, then in the rice paddies helping out; she was everywhere. When told to rest, she would insist that she couldn't sit still; being idle made her uncomfortable. The whole family was busy, and Yezhi worried about their health. Tomorrow she would have to keep an eye on Sister Luo and Aunt Zhou as they drank her specially made sweet soup. She felt most at ease with Elder Brother Yu's Bidefo health tonic. Before she knew it, May Day had arrived.
Zhou Village Head set off early in the morning with Old Accountant and others to attend some kind of award ceremony at the Commune. The night before, he had specially come to invite her to join him. She had no interest in being an audience member at an award ceremony just to add glory to others.
Yezhi picked up her basket and called Black Treasure and Niu Niu to help pull weeds on the hillside. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the courtyard. One Egg was laughing loudly, and out of curiosity, she peeked out her head. Her heart raced; after taking a second look, she jumped up and dashed out of the door.
