The next morning, Shen Yao saw Zhou Papa looking at Zhou Ya Nan with an expression of seeing a ghost.
No, where did his little daughter with the dark, shiny skin go? She was gone.
"Nan Nan, you, are you sick?"
Zhou Papa had already gone through all the illnesses he knew in his mind, and then he calculated his family's assets, thinking that as long as it wasn't an incurable disease, it should still be enough.
But after going through them, he still couldn't find any illness that would make someone turn from a little charcoal into Snow White overnight.
It was a good thing Zhou Ya Nan didn't know her father's thoughts, otherwise she would have definitely said "I thank you!"
"I'm not sick, just tell me if I'm fair or pretty!" Zhou Ya Nan said triumphantly to Zhou Papa. If she had a tail, Zhou Ya Nan would definitely wag it to the sky.
"Fair, and pretty!" Zhou Papa didn't speak against his conscience. His fairer daughter was indeed more beautiful, although his dark, shiny daughter was also good-looking.
"Are you sure you're not sick? Then why did you become so fair overnight?" Zhou Papa asked.
"I'm really not sick. The reason I became so fair is all thanks to Yao Yao. Her herbal pack made me fair in 10 minutes!"
Zhou Ya Nan remembered last night as if it were magic, and she was truly overjoyed.
Zhou Papa looked at Shen Yao in shock, "Yao Yao, is there really such a magical herb in this world? Are there any side effects?"
Shen Yao understood Zhou Papa's good intentions. Parents all want their children to be healthy. If they do something harmful to their bodies to become fair, they would definitely not want them to do so.
"Don't worry, Zhou Papa, this is a good thing. If there were side effects, I wouldn't dare to use it on Nan Nan!" Shen Yao said.
Hearing that there were no side effects, Zhou Papa breathed a long sigh of relief, and then happily looked at his fair and tender daughter again.
When she was young, Zhou Ya Nan was dark and whenever they went out, people would joke that they had given birth to a tomboy.
Heaven knows how much he envied other people's fair and tender little daughters. Of course, his own little daughter was also good-looking, just not as he had expected.
To avoid making his little daughter sad, he never said anyone else was pretty in front of Zhou Ya Nan. He would only say that his Nan Nan was the healthiest.
It was because of this that Zhou Ya Nan didn't grow up with low self-esteem.
Later, as she got older, Zhou Ya Nan knew she wanted to be beautiful and felt that girls should be fairer, so she became infatuated with whitening.
Zhou Papa took out his phone, took several photos of Zhou Ya Nan, and posted them on his Moments.
The caption read: The little girl has grown up.
Soon, a lot of comments appeared under Zhou Papa's Moments post.
Old Zhang: Old Zhou, even if you miss your daughter, you can't post a picture of someone else's daughter.
Old Li: Old Zhou, I didn't expect you to still use beauty filters at your age!
Old He: Old Zhou, isn't your daughter very dark?
Old Song: ...
Zhou Papa, seeing everyone in the comments saying he was faking it, angrily posted a unified reply: Just envy me. I'll bring my Nan Nan back in a few days and scare you to death!
Then, he turned off his phone and set off with Zhou Ya Nan, who was going out to play on the mountain.
It was Zhou Papa and Zhou Ya Nan's first time riding a three-wheeled vehicle, and they were both amazed. They even excitedly recorded videos and posted them on their Moments.
Zhou Papa went up the mountain to see the lychees. After all, Zhou Papa had rented all the lychee gardens, so he had to follow along.
By then, several large trucks were already parked at the foot of the mountain. It was said that the trucks called by Xia Chao and Wang Qianqian's families had also arrived.
So, Shen Yao's lychee orchard was full of people, including those responsible for picking lychees, removing branches and leaves, and transporting them...
Shen Yao, on the other hand, wanted to check on the barren mountain today. The saplings brought back a few days ago had already been planted. Because they were watered with spiritual spring water, every sapling looked vigorous.
Shen Yao had divided the barren mountain into several parts, with different varieties in each area.
Shen Yao was very satisfied seeing the well-grown saplings.
Zhou Ya Nan excitedly followed the people planting trees on the mountain and said that the tree she planted was hers.
Zhou Ya Nan also very righteously helped Xia Chao and Wang Qianqian plant a tree each.
Shen Yao didn't interfere and let her play. She came up to film footage.
She hadn't updated her barren mountain progress for a few days, and today was a good time to record it and edit it with the previous footage.
Although Shen Yao had cut down the eucalyptus trees, the land polluted by the eucalyptus trees was not so easy to recover.
Shen Yao was also thinking of coming up the mountain to improve the soil with spiritual spring water.
Seeing that no one was watching her, Su Qingyi used her spiritual power to water the land with spiritual spring water.
It is well known that eucalyptus trees absorb moisture very quickly during their growth process, so the land planted with eucalyptus trees is very barren.
This piece of land, which had been planted with eucalyptus trees, was not within Shen family's plan at the moment.
After being watered with spiritual spring water, Shen Yao could see with her own eyes that the hardened mud blocks had become somewhat soft!
After Shen Yao watered a large area of land and was about to go to another side, she heard Zhou Ya Nan's scream.
"Ah!!! Help, there's a snake!!!"
Hearing Zhou Ya Nan's frantic shouts, Shen Yao rushed towards Zhou Ya Nan without a second thought.
As the temperature warmed up, many snakes started to emerge, so it was normal to see snakes on the mountain. As long as one didn't provoke them, snakes generally wouldn't attack humans.
Of course, this was only for people who had always lived in the countryside. At least Zhou Ya Nan couldn't stay calm!
Zhou Ya Nan's voice attracted the attention of many people. Hearing her shout about a snake, everyone thought she had been bitten and rushed towards her.
If she were really bitten by a snake, she would need to be rushed to the hospital quickly.
Fortunately, when everyone arrived in front of Zhou Ya Nan, they saw her fall to the ground, staring at a small, dark snake.
"Little girl, were you bitten?" an uncle asked quickly.
They hadn't seen this snake before, so what if it was some unknown venomous snake?
"No, no," Zhou Ya Nan said, and then seeing so many people, she was no longer so scared. She tried to slowly stand up.
However, as soon as the small black snake, which had been lying on the ground, saw Zhou Ya Nan move, it also twisted its body.
Everyone tried to drive the small black snake away, but the small black snake acted as if it couldn't see them and just followed Zhou Ya Nan.
Zhou Ya Nan took a step back, and the small black snake crawled forward.
When Shen Yao arrived, she saw exactly this scene: one person and one snake looking at each other, surrounded by a group of aunts and uncles.
"Yao Yao, save me, I'm scared." Seeing Shen Yao, Zhou Ya Nan acted as if she had seen a savior.
