Chapter 117: I can help turn the soil
Just like that, Xia Runlin had his bowl snatched away by Xu Xinxin, and he stood beside her and watched her wash the dishes.
He was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No need," Xu Xinxin said without even raising her head, "Just live well."
Seeing that she didn't need help, Xia Runlin said, "Thank you for saving me today. I know this favor cannot be measured by money, but I still want to transfer some money to compensate you..."
When Xu Xinxin heard this, she became even more heartbroken.
She washed the bowl in her hand, stood up, looked at Xia Runlin and said, "To be honest, I feel that the money you transfer to me is not as much as the "treasures" I consume."
It is actually not difficult for her to make money now. She just needs to spend some time growing vegetables. Regardless of other things, it is quite safe anyway.
However, system coins are much harder to come by, and the wilderness is becoming more and more dangerous, so it will be even more difficult for her to complete system tasks.
Therefore, she believed from the bottom of her heart that no amount of money could compare to her system currency.
Xu Xinxin refused Xia Runlin's offer to transfer money to her.
She saved Xia Runlin, which was such a great favor, she would rather give up everything and keep this favor than accept the money.
Seeing Xu Xinxin's serious expression and that she really didn't want the money, Xia Runlin immediately changed his tone and said, "I understand. I will remember your kindness in my heart. If you need any help in the future, you can tell me."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the uneven vegetable patch nearby and said, "I still have time. How about I help you turn the vegetable patch first?"
“No, no,” Xu Xinxin refused again: “If you really want to help me turn the soil, there is no need to rush. You can go back and get well first. You can even live with me and help me turn the soil every day.”
When Xia Runlin heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
Xu Xinxin thought that the matter was over for the time being. If she needed to use the Xia family’s “favor” in the future, it would be a matter for the future.
But what she didn't expect was that Xia Runlin had just been taken back by Sun Kunpeng that afternoon, and the next morning he drove over by himself.
When Xia Runlin ran over again, he was wearing a dark short-sleeved shirt and shorts, a pair of dark sneakers, and a big straw hat on his head. He appeared outside her yard in this lively manner.
Xu Xinxin had just finished breakfast and was washing dishes when she suddenly saw him appear outside the yard. She ran over and was almost dumbfounded by his outfit.
He is so down-to-earth in this way.
Regardless of whether he has any farming experience, just by looking at the way he is dressed, you can tell he is a farmer.
Xu Xinxin happily welcomed him in and said, "Come in, come in. I went to check this morning and found that some of my strawberries are ripe. You can pick them with me and eat the ripest and most delicious ones."
The strawberries are now ripening naturally, but it's hot now, so they will melt easily if touched.
Therefore, if you want to eat naturally ripened strawberries, you must pick them and eat them immediately.
Less ripe strawberries can be stored longer, but they also need to be carefully packaged, otherwise they will easily rot if bumped.
Xu Xinxin doesn’t grow many strawberries now, so she doesn’t plan to sell them. She plans to eat them herself or ask others to pick them for her to eat right away.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin said to Xia Runlin: "You are so lucky."
Evolved strawberries are not available for purchase anywhere else.
As Xu Xinxin spoke, she took Xia Runlin to the constant temperature room.
When they walked into the constant temperature room, the temperature dropped instantly. The two people who were almost sweating from the heat outside felt refreshed instantly.
This was the first time that Xia Runlin saw the vegetable garden in her constant temperature room.
The constant temperature room is not big and there are many plants planted in it, but each plant is arranged neatly and does not interfere with each other.
Near the entrance of the constant temperature room is a patch of green water spinach, and further inside is a small patch of strawberry seedlings.
Further inside, it seemed that other vegetables were planted, and there was even a large "water tank" with green seedlings growing in it. I didn't know what kind of plants they were.
Xia Runlin took a look, then followed Xu Xinxin closely and came to the strawberries she mentioned.
These are actually evolved strawberries. The strawberry vines are covered with strawberries of varying sizes and maturity. Most of them are of ordinary quality, but a small number are evolved.
Xu Xinxin pointed at a few strawberries and said a little embarrassedly, "You can't pick these evolved strawberries. I'm going to keep them for seeds. You can pick the rest of the ordinary quality strawberries at will."
Ordinary quality strawberries are not cheap.
Xia Runlin saw the big red strawberries and said with a smile, "I came here to help you turn the soil. Now that I've eaten your strawberries, I'm afraid I'll have more energy and can turn more soil."
Are you serious?
When Xu Xinxin heard him say this, she asked, "Have you recovered?"
"Yeah," Xia Runlin nodded and said, "I drank some physical enhancement potions last night, and my body has completely recovered."
He has a really good physique.
Xu Xinxin grumbled to herself, but didn't refuse. She said, "Okay, let's pick some strawberries first, and then we'll go to the vegetable garden."
Xu Xinxin took a large soup bowl and picked some strawberries with Xia Runlin. They soaked them in well water, then stood next to the well and ate a strawberry.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that these naturally ripened strawberries were much more delicious than the ones she had ripened with her supernatural powers.
This is not surprising. After the disaster, the eggs laid by chickens that eat feed taste different from those laid by free-range chickens. Not to mention the difference between fruits that are "raised" with supernatural powers and fruits that are raised with sunlight and soil.
Xu Xinxin couldn't stop eating several strawberries.
Xia Runlin also tasted a strawberry, and his eyes lit up as he said, "I can eat such fresh strawberries, so I can turn over more land."
"Is that so~"
Xu Xinxin couldn't help but smile at him smugly while eating strawberries, and joked, "From now on, you will work with me, and I guarantee that you will have endless fresh fruits to eat."
Xia Runlin also looked at her and smiled, with light in his eyes.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
After eating strawberries, Xia Runlin said he wanted to help turn the soil, and he was really turning the soil.
Xu Xinxin was standing next to the vegetable patch, watching him use his special powers to "throw" scattered dirt into the air, which rolled around and fell to the ground again.
This process is just like a chef flipping the wok when cooking, it looks very easy and effortless.
After simply turning over a small piece of land, Xu Xinxin ran over, squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil with his hands.
The originally hard soil suddenly became loose and soft, to a degree that could not be achieved even if she turned the soil over 10 times in a row.
What a talented person.
Xu Xinxin looked at Xia Runlin again, her eyes lit up.
