Jun Haoyue took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and said, "Let me help you apply the medicine."

After saying that, he took Xu Xingchen's hand. Xu Xingchen dodged instantly when Jun Haoyue touched him, but his resistance was too strong and he fell on his butt.

Xu Xingchen scratched his nose and explained, "I don't like others touching me. Thank you. Give me the medicine and I'll apply it myself."

Jun Haoyue didn't say anything else. He nodded and gave the medicine to Xu Xingchen.

The medicine was applied to the wound, and the burning sensation on the wound was reduced, leaving some coolness. Xu Xingchen was about to thank him again when the door was knocked again.

"Sister Xu!"

The voice belonged to Zhang Xiaochun, who had just spoken up for Aunt Wang.

Xu Xingchen frowned, put down the medicine, and went to open the door.

Zhang Xiaochun's flattering smile caught my eye.

"Sister Xu, the village chief asked me to find your Jun...Jun Haoyue and go to him to register." Zhang Xiaochun couldn't stop looking into the room, and finally felt relieved when he saw Jun Haoyue sitting upright in the middle.

Xu Xingchen nodded, and to show that she cared about her brother as a cousin, she asked as usual, "Registration for what?"

Zhang Xiaochun was just waiting for this question, so he spoke without hesitation: "Where are you from? How long do you plan to stay in the village? What are you going to study? There's a lot more to ask. Just come with me and you'll find out. It's always like this in the village. Outsiders have to go to the village chief for questioning. Only after they pass the test can they stay."

This is normal.

Xu Xingchen made way to let Zhang Xiaochun into the house. Zhang Xiaochun moved a stool and sat next to Jun Haoyue.

Jun Haoyue sighed slightly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Miss Zhang, I'm a scholar and I pay attention to the precautions between men and women. Xingchen is my cousin, so I'm not so cautious. I wonder if Miss Zhang is married. If not, it's better to keep your distance."

After Jun Haoyue finished speaking, Zhang Xiaochun's eyes suddenly brightened. A scholar, and a modest gentleman, even asked himself whether he was married or not! If this wasn't love for me, what was it?

Zhang Xiaochun was delighted and replied impatiently, "Of course, of course. I'm not married yet. It's getting dark soon, so please come with me to the village chief's house as soon as possible. It will be too late to delay things."

Jun Haoyue didn't intend to cause trouble for Xu Xingchen, so he didn't refuse. Xu Xingchen was happy to be free. Finally, no one was at home, and now he could do his own thing in peace.

After closing the door, Xu Xingchen mixed the nutrient solution with the warm water he had prepared in advance, then took out Mendun'er's old clothes and started to sprout the wheat again. This time, the wheat sprouted quickly, but it was visibly not as strong as the last time.

I guess it’s because the seeds brought by Munduner are of much better quality than this one.

Xu Xingchen walked to the backyard and checked the experimental field as usual and made experimental records. The saplings that Munduner brought back at the door were still alive. It was really a rare thing that they could survive in such cold weather.

Xu Xingchen observed the saplings carefully for a while and had a rough guess about the type of tree.

It looked a lot like rose leaves, but didn't roses only survive in July, August, and September? Regardless, every time Munduner brought back seeds, Xu Xingchen was amazed.

This rose has a tendency to climb the wall. Xu Xingchen built a support for them and then returned to the house. After much thought, he was still worried about the experimental field and prepared to water it with nutrients again.

This time, Xu Xingchen tested two experimental plots at three different concentrations: 0.06mg/L, 0.09mg/L, and 0.1mg/L, representing low, medium, and high concentrations, respectively.

About four hours later, it was time for lunch, and Xu Xingchen walked to the experimental field to prepare to record the first data.

The first piece's growth accelerated, but not noticeably. The second piece's growth accelerated most significantly, and judging by the leaves, it would be edible in a few days. What surprised Xu Xingchen the most was the third piece; it was already ripe.

Well, once they're ripe, they need to be taken out, lest they rot in the ground. Xu Xingchen dug up the potatoes bit by bit, weighing them individually and recording them. Fortunately, that heartless ice-faced guy had let him bring some paper and pen to his laptop; otherwise, Xu Xingchen would have had nothing to record the data.

The potatoes in the third field were large and round. It occurred to Xu Xingchen that eating only potatoes wasn't enough; he remembered the original owner of this house had planted pickled cabbage in his own field. He went to the door and bumped into Jun Haoyue as soon as he opened it.

Jun Haoyue still looked as calm and cheerful as ever, but there was a hint of sadness between his brows. His expression improved only after he saw Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen rubbed his nose, which had just hurt, and said, "Let's go to the field and move the jars of pickled cabbage."

Jun Haoyue didn't ask why. He smiled helplessly and said, "Okay."

When the village chief heard that he was a scholar, he was so happy that he asked him to give a lecture to all the boys and girls in the village after the spring. This was nothing special, but Zhang Xiaochun's "enthusiasm" was really too much for him to handle.

Xu Xingchen had already walked out the door, and Jun Haoyue followed behind him. Based on the original owner's memory, Xu Xingchen immediately found the jar of pickled cabbage.

But she didn't expect that the jar of sauerkraut was so heavy that Guangjun Haoyue and she couldn't move it.

Finally, Xu Xingchen gave up, opened the jar, and prepared to take some pickled cabbage and leave. He decided to have stir-fried potatoes with pickled cabbage for lunch.

Xu Xingchen took the sauerkraut and was about to leave when a faint voice came.

"Hey, isn't this our sister Xu? Why, did you bring your brother out to get something?"

Xu Xingchen will never forget this complaining voice of a woman in his life.

It was Yang Tiansheng, the good son of Aunt Wang.

Yang Tiansheng had been taught a lesson by Xu Xingchen before, so he was just in time to leave when he spotted Xu Xingchen in the fields. Isn't this a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road?

Xu Xingchen sighed and replied with a stiff upper lip: "Yes. The food at home is almost gone these days, so I came to get some."

"Oh, what a coincidence," Yang Tiansheng said, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes. "I'm here too. Can I help you?"

"No. This is enough."

Xu Xingchen refused directly.

Zhang Tiansheng said gloomily: "Really? Why don't I think so?"

Xu Xingchen was a person who didn't want to get involved in other people's business. He gave Jun Haoyue a look, and Jun Haoyue understood what he meant, nodded, and followed him, shoulder to shoulder with Xu Xingchen, preparing to go home.

Behind him, Zhang Tiansheng's eyes became more and more vicious.

This stinky bitch! Not only did she embarrass his mother before, but she also took a big bag of wheat from home! Next spring, no matter what, the harvest will be reduced by 10%!

The more Zhang Tiansheng thought about it, the angrier he became. Rage rose in his heart, and he rushed towards Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen was unable to dodge and was pressed down hard by Zhang Tiansheng.
