By the time Si Jiuyue finished planting the beans, it was already time for lunch.
In the nearby chicken coop, the chickens and ducks were scampering about with great energy. "Cluck, cluck, cluck!" "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" Si Jiuyue watched them, startled, as she looked up to see seven chickens fly straight up onto the tree branches. She thought to herself that it was truly bizarre for chickens to be able to fly in this day and age. Fearing they might fly away, she quickly grabbed a stick and shooed them down. It would be quite a nuisance if they escaped.
After settling that, Si Jiuyue went to the front courtyard to wash her hands for lunch. Everyone at the table was exhausted from weeding the fields all morning. Only Si Beishu, Si Beixing, and Beiwang, who had been digging the tunnel, were slightly less tired. Too weary to talk, the family ate in silence. Once the meal was finished, Si Jiuyue decided to join her father in the fields to help with the weeding.
