When Qin Mi returned in the middle of the night, he brought back a large bundle of Chinese toon saplings for Wen Xi. "Liangliang, I dug up the Chinese toon saplings, but the number is probably not enough. I'll go dig them up again tomorrow night and that should be enough."

There are so many Chinese toon trees here, almost every stone house has one outside, so it's fine for Wenxi to dig some up and take them back. After all, there are too many here, and a bunch of them crowding together won't grow well. Thinning out the seedlings will actually help them grow better.

"Brother Qin, thank you, but I'm going to teach everyone how to grow watermelons tomorrow, so I'll need your help to pick some toon sprouts for me." Wen Xi felt quite embarrassed about her 'greed'.

She just doesn't want to waste good things. Even if she tells everyone now that stir-fried eggs with toon sprouts are delicious, how many families would be willing to eat the eggs?

If everyone makes money this year, they'll naturally be more willing to eat well next year.

"Liangliang, don't worry, I'll give you whatever you want." Qin Mi smiled, as if he would do anything for her willingly.

Wenxi collected all the toon seedlings. She hoped that she could sign a contract for a plantation someday so that she could plant toon trees.

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Mi took Wenxi to the village chief's house. After that, he took a basket and a burlap sack to the mountain to pick toon sprouts. It would take too much time to carry them home basket by basket, so he decided to fill a burlap sack first and then carry them home!

Wenxi was quite pleased to see that the girls standing in the village chief's yard were all teenagers. They had learned how to grow watermelons, which naturally raised their status in the family, and their treatment would be better than before.

Afterwards, the village chief took Wenxi to the fields and said, "Comrade Hao, these plots of land are for you to grow watermelons. Plant as many as you can."

Wen Xi nodded, "Okay, village chief, I will definitely train these girls to become melon-growing experts."

After the village chief left, Wenxi had the ten girls stand in two rows and chatted with them, asking about their lives at home. Just as she thought, many of them couldn't be described as being unloved at home; they simply had no life at all!

“Starting today, I will teach you how to grow watermelons. I hope you will all learn well. As long as you learn and earn money for the village, you can change your status and situation at home. So I hope you cherish this opportunity and don’t do anything foolish.” Wenxi gave them some instructions and then began to lead them to plant watermelons.

In rural areas, children, especially those around ten years old, are all capable of doing chores. So Wenxi stood by and told them to do the work, explaining the precautions to them. After all, she would be leaving this place, and she definitely had to teach them how to do it.

By 10 o'clock the sun was very strong and extremely hot, so Wenxi told everyone to go home and take a nap at noon before coming back.

Now that they're working for her, she naturally wants to make things easier for them.

When Wenxi returned home, Qin Mi had already picked several large sacks of toon sprouts for her. Fearing that the toon sprouts would not be fresh if left for too long, she quickly put the toon sprouts away and then emptied the sacks so that Qin Mi would have sacks to use in the afternoon.

At noon, Wenxi served the hand-shredded chicken she ordered from the takeout shop, beer-braised duck she made herself, winter melon and pork rib soup, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar. Qin Mi helped her with the chores, so naturally she had to feed Qin Mi as well.

There's no reason to let a thoroughbred horse run without feeding it properly.

While waiting for Qin Mi to come home for lunch, Wen Xi hunched over the kang table, writing down information about watermelon cultivation. She was afraid that when she returned one day, there would still be a lot of things she hadn't had time to pass on to the group of girls, so she quickly wrote them down.

When Qin Mi returned, Wen Xi poured him water to wash up. After he washed up, the two sat down to eat lunch. Looking at the sumptuous meal, Qin Mi was very grateful.

The time he spent with Wenxi was the happiest time of his life, a time he would cherish for a lifetime.

After the meal, Wenxi handed the watermelon planting instructions she had written to Qinmi, saying, "Brother Qin, if I go back, please give this document to the village chief for me. He is an educated man and should be able to understand it."

"Okay." Qin Mi took the planting instructions and then found a place to put them.

Qin Mi had his own work to do, so Wen Xi didn't let Qin Mi teach everyone how to grow watermelons, but instead let the village chief teach them himself.

After the meal, Qin Mi washed the bowls, chopsticks and plates and handed them to Wen Xi to put away. He then put on his straw hat and went to pick toon sprouts. Wen Xi took a comfortable nap at home and didn't go to the field to plant watermelons with everyone until after 3 p.m.

A week passed quickly. Qin Mi picked a lot of toon sprouts for Wen Xi, and even dug up several bundles of toon seedlings. Wen Xi took the girls to plant watermelons for a while every morning and afternoon.

Planting seeds isn't difficult; she explained it to the girls and they all learned it. The real challenge was fertilizing and managing the plants later on. However, Wenxi was worried that she wouldn't be able to stay here indefinitely, so she wrote everything down on paper.

Wenxi was also afraid that she might suddenly go back one day and not have time to say goodbye to Qin Mi, so she wrote a farewell letter early and put it under her pillow.

Qin Mi would never touch her pillow while she was here. If she left, Qin Mi would definitely help her pack her things, and that's when she would find the farewell letter she had put under her pillow.

Wenxi felt that the system might be giving her one last chance to say goodbye to Qin Mi, since she hadn't received any tasks from the system this time.

"Wenxi, Wenxi..." That noon, Wenxi was taking a nap when she heard someone call her name, which startled her.

In several mission worlds, her name was Hao Liangliang, and it was Qin Mi's family who helped her obtain her identity certificate, which then continued in other mission worlds.

So hearing her real name in the mission world was a very frightening thing, so Wenxi opened her eyes abruptly, only to smell disinfectant and see a white roof.

What place is this?

It hurts so much...

"Xi, you're awake?" Qin Mi, who was sitting by Wen Xi's bedside, stood up excitedly when he saw Wen Xi open her eyes and leaned over to stare at her.

"Brother Qin?" Wen Xi recognized that the Qin Mi in front of her was Brother Qin from the real world, not Brother Qin from the mission world.

"Xi, you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" Qin Mi asked anxiously.

Wen Xi frowned, "It hurts, Brother Qin, it hurts so much..."

"I'll go get the doctor, Xi, hang in there a little longer." Qin Mi hurriedly came to the outside of the ward and asked his subordinates outside to call Wen Xi's attending physician.
