Many of the bags of grain had broken, and Xu Lai and her grandfather replaced them with new ones. After all that work, she was exhausted.
Xu Lai carried the beans she had found downstairs. In addition to mung beans, her grandmother had also planted soybeans and black beans last year.
She and her grandmother selected the beans to use as seeds, and for the rest, she searched online for solutions and decided to make mung bean cakes first.
Since there were no other ingredients at home to make mung bean cakes, Xu Lai decided to go to the market in town the next day, just in time for her package to arrive.

Xu Lai squatted there, picking and choosing, and finally bought some of every kind of seed, as well as a chestnut sapling.
Zhao Qingyun watched this scene from a distance and almost laughed. She was really straightforward, asking the boss directly if the crops could be grown.
Xu Lai went to the package pickup point, intending to collect it and go home. However, she forgot that she had sent three or four large boxes, which her small electric scooter couldn't possibly carry back.
