After almost drowning, Wen Xiuan awakens to bullet comments, discovering that she is actually in a novel!
Her savior, it turns out, is a scheming "phoenix man" (a man who rises from p...
The weather was very sunny on the day when the wheat was planted and dried.
The threshing ground was also full of people, waiting to see whether the wheat from the warm summer had grown in quantity.
"This wheat looks much bigger than the previous ones, but I don't know how much it weighs."
"If you ask me, it's really thanks to the educated college students that this thing is done much better than before."
The villagers gathered together and discussed the matter in a flurry. Wen Xia Nuan and Huo Jue quickly took the scale and started weighing the wheat.
At that time, the scales were still wooden pole scales with weights. Wen Xia Nuan actually couldn't understand them, so Huo Jue quickly picked up the scale and started weighing.
She looked a little nervous, and when her eyes fell on Huo Jue, she asked, "How is it?"
Several bags of wheat were weighed one after another. Wen Xia Nuan was definitely lying when she said she wasn't nervous.
Huo Jue also smiled and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "In the past, the yield of five mu of land was about 200 kilograms, but now five mu of land has produced 600 kilograms of wheat! Wen Zhiqing, your seedling cultivation method really works!"
"real?"
Wen Xia Nuan's voice suddenly became excited, and her eyes fell on Huo Jue and asked, "Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
Huo Jue waved his hand: "Wen Zhiqing, why would I lie to you about this matter? You should understand my thoughts!"
"Besides, aren't the captain and the others weighing themselves again now?"
After hearing these words, Wen Xia Nuan's inner tension finally relaxed.
The captain put down the weight in his hand, his eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan, and he said cheerfully, "Wen Zhiqing, the wheat yield is more than double what you said before."
"Captain, can the wheat yield really be that much higher?"
"Yes, if we can really produce so much more wheat, then our village will have a better life in the future."
A flurry of chatter could be heard, and the captain's gaze fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, you need to teach us the techniques of raising seedlings and caring for wheat seedlings."
"Captain, there's definitely no problem with this matter. Do you remember the bet we made earlier?"
Wen Xianuan's smiling eyes fell on Chen Yanfang.
Chen Yanfang's face turned red at this time.
Thinking about how Wen Xia Nuan had appeared here at the beginning and how she had targeted her, she really didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Yanfang, you were worried that nothing would grow on this land before, but now the yield has doubled. I've fulfilled our bet, so isn't it time for you to show your appreciation?"
The captain naturally recalled what he had said before and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Wen Zhiqing, what do you want?"
His curious gaze fell on Wen Xia Nuan, who smiled. "Actually, I don't really need to say anything else. But now that I've planted the wheat seeds, let's just call it quits, including the bet with Yan Fang."
"As for the wheat seeds, this is what I think."
She pointed to the remaining wheat and said, "We'll use some of it as seedlings. Once it sprouts, we can plant it in the fields."
The surrounding villagers also stared at Wen Xia Nuan with wide eyes.
Their expressions were filled with surprise, as if they had never expected Wen Xia Nuan to be really willing to help them.
"Wen Zhiqing, how about this?"
The captain came up with an idea as a compromise.
"These wheat seeds belong to Huo Jue's family after all. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to give them away now. It would be better for the brigade to pay for them and give them to us."
His eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Are you willing to listen to me like this?"
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Huo Jue: "What do you think?"
Huo Jue had no objection to this approach.
He nodded towards Wen Xia Nuan: "Then do as the captain says."
"Captain, are we going to charge the price of wheat seeds in town?"
The captain responded to the question raised by the crowd: "Yes, since the wheat seeds belong to Huo Jue, we should not take advantage of anyone. We should do what we should do."
After hearing this, the villagers didn't have many objections.
The captain's eyes fell on Huo Jue: "Do you think it's okay for me to say this?"
Huo Jue nodded and said with a smile, "Since we have already discussed it, let's do as you said."
Both parties happily paid for the wheat seeds. When Huo Jue returned home with the money, he went to find Wen Xia Nuan: "A Nuan."
Wen Xia Nuan walked out of the house and her eyes fell on Huo Jue: "What are you doing?"
She looked at Huo Jue with puzzled eyes. Huo Jue took out the money and handed it to her: "If you hadn't grown these wheat seeds, I wouldn't have received this money. To be frank, it's all because of you."
"Why don't you take this money?"
Wen Xia Nuan hadn't expected Huo Jue to pull such a tactic. She waved her hand and refused without a second thought: "After all, this money was earned by your family's wheat. What's the point of giving it to me now?"
"You'd better put the money away quickly."
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came, and Huo Jue's eyes fell on her, his expression indifferent: "A Nuan, since I gave it to you, then you should accept it."
Huo Jue didn't wait for Wen Xia Nuan to refuse and directly stuffed the money into his hand.
Wen Xia Nuan's expression was filled with surprise. She wanted to say something, but now she couldn't say anything.
Although the money was not very heavy, it felt particularly heavy in Wen Xianuan's hand.
She looked up at Huo Jue and wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't utter a word.
"Huo Jue, I'll keep this money for now. If you need it later, you can ask me directly."
Huo Jue nodded quickly, looked at Wen Xia Nuan and smiled, "Don't worry, Ah Nuan, if that time really comes, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Wen Xia Nuan couldn't help but laugh. She looked at Huo Jue, feeling more relaxed than ever before. "Then do as you say."
"Anything else?"
Wen Xia Nuan's curious eyes fell on Huo Jue. Huo Jue slapped his forehead as if he had thought of something, and looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Oh, there's something else I want to tell you."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him in confusion, then heard Huo Jue say, "Ah Nuan, I don't quite understand these questions in the book. Could you explain them to me?"
She quickly took the book, her eyes fell on a few questions in the book, and began to explain: "Look, it should actually be like this..."
