Chapter 173 Picking Cherry Tomatoes



Gao Shujing spends a maximum of two hours a day cultivating, and he has not yet developed internal strength.

Xia Jingxing was different. After work, apart from occasionally doing some housework and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time cultivating. He cultivated for one or two times more each day than Gao Shujing.

Xia Jingxing was too excited to notice Gao Shujing's attempt to get rid of him. He pressed down on the door with one hand and said, "Hey, no need to be in such a hurry. I can share some of my experience with you."

As he spoke, he had already stepped inside, but then, as if remembering something, he turned back and said, "Rujia, would you like to come in and listen?"

He used to be impatient with Ru Jia, but after learning what she had done for the Xia family, Xia Jingxing's attitude towards her improved.

But he didn't invite her with the same enthusiasm he showed now, practically as if he had "Come on, come on" written all over his face.

Yu Rujia pretended to yawn: "I'm a little sleepy. I've already developed internal strength, so I don't need any more experience. I'm going to sleep now. You guys chat."

Getting in is easy, but getting out is hard. Given Xia Jingxing's immature personality, he'll definitely spout a bunch of nonsense, and she doesn't want to waste her precious sleep time here.

After saying goodbye to the two, Yu Rujia went back to her room to sleep.

Helpless, Gao Shujing could only take Xia Jingxing to his room. Fortunately, the little ones had already gone to sleep in Gao Guojing's room, so as long as he kept his voice down, he didn't have to worry about disturbing them.

Then Gao Shujing was forced to listen to more than an hour of nonsense, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he kicked Xia Jingxing, who was still not satisfied, out of the room.

Before they finished eating the strawberries, the cherry tomatoes ripened. Yu Rujia led the children to pick cherry tomatoes in the vegetable garden. There were so many fruits that they almost broke the branches.

Fortunately, Gao Shujing had noticed that the cherry tomato tree was growing too well, so he used some thick branches to secure it. Now it has grown to more than two meters tall.

Duofu and his three younger brothers worked hard to pick the fruit below, while also keeping an eye on Duolu and Duoxi's various violations.

As for the cherry tomatoes, their small bodies couldn't reach them, so they could only wait for Yu Rujia to pick them.

Gao Shujing walked in from outside. Upon seeing him, Yu Rujia asked in confusion, "Why are you back so early today?" It wasn't even eleven o'clock yet; he usually didn't get back until five or six in the afternoon.

Gao Shujing walked into the vegetable garden and joined the team picking cherry tomatoes: "The power lines are all used up, so the remaining households will have to wait."

Yu Rujia: "Should the team leaders figure out a solution for the substandard electrical wires themselves, or should Team Leader Fang go to the city to get some more?"

Gao Shujing: "The various brigades have been keeping an eye on this matter. When they learned that there wasn't enough wire, they urged Director Liu to find a solution."

"When I reported to Director Liu how many wires were still needed, he called the power supply station and asked them to find a way to get some wires over."

"Providing electricity to the various brigades should have been the job of the power supply station, but previously, due to their limited resources and manpower, they were unable to assign it to the brigades below."

"The power lines for several brigades in Dongyuan Commune were all obtained by Captain Fang himself from the city, and I led the team to get the power connected. Apart from exchanging some power lines with our brigade at the beginning, the power supply station did nothing else."

“We’ve already done the bulk of the work, and the power supply station needs to do its part for the remaining small part. This time they didn’t shirk their responsibility and are already trying to raise funds for the line.”

"Once they get the wires, the households in our brigade that haven't installed them yet will have to get them installed too."

Yu Rujia understood his meaning. With the power supply station involved, they would definitely get enough power lines, and Captain Huang would also report those families who had spoken ill of Yu Rujia.

Yu Rujia: "They've already learned their lesson by delaying their electricity use by six months. Now, those people avoid me when they see me. I've vented my anger enough. If there are any power lines available, please install them for them."

Jingdong's wife has waited so long, and her wish has finally come true.

Gao Shujing was relieved to see that she didn't mind.

With a loud crash, Duofu's voice came: "Duolu, look what you've done! You've pulled down the whole fruit tree."

Duo Shou's face showed displeasure: "That's right, there are still so many unripe ones, I don't know if they will grow any more."

Duolu's simple voice rang out: "Hehe, I just thought that fruit was pretty and wanted to pick it, but I didn't expect to accidentally knock the whole tree down."

Yu Rujia walked over and saw the three little ones struggling to support a cherry tomato tree. Duoxi, being small, stood outside her brothers and jumped around trying to help, but she couldn't reach the tree.

Yu Rujia: "Did anyone get hit?"

Duofu: "It didn't hit anything, it was just the tree that fell."

Gao Shujing reached out and took the cherry tomato tree, freeing the three little ones: "It's okay, Uncle will plant the tree back."

Duoshou: "Uncle, will it grow back if we plant it?"

Gao Shujing: "It wasn't torn off, so it should be fine. Water it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, for the next two days to help it come back to life."

Duoshou glanced at Duolu, who was standing beside him grinning foolishly: "I'll make sure Duolu comes over to water the plants."

Duofu: "If this cherry tomato tree doesn't survive, Duolu should eat less of it."

Upon hearing that his rations were to be reduced, Duolu became anxious and pounded his little chest loudly: "I'll water it, I promise I'll make it come back to life."

Duoxi raised his voice in support of his second brother: "I'll water it with my second brother."

Yu Rujia: "Then thank you for your hard work."

After picking the shorter cherry tomatoes, the little ones couldn't reach the taller ones, so they could only wait on the side for Yu Rujia and the others to pick them.

Duoshou's gaze fell on the watermelons that had grown several sizes larger: "Auntie, these watermelons have grown so big, will they grow any bigger?"

The watermelon is now bigger than a basketball, but with its abundant spiritual energy, Yu Rujia estimates it will grow even larger: "It will grow bigger, and then you can eat more of it. Aren't you happy?"

Upon hearing this, Duolu walked over to a watermelon, squatted down, and gently touched it with his little paw: "You need to grow bigger, okay? You need to grow bigger than Uncle."

This little guy has too big a ambition. Unfortunately, his hopes are destined to be dashed. Even with the blessing of the spirit-gathering array, this watermelon can't possibly grow bigger than Gao Shujing.

Duofu: "Auntie, how long will it take for these watermelons to turn red?"

Yu Rujia: "About a month."

When he tasted the cherry tomatoes, their unique flavor made Doro go and water the cherry tomato tree after finishing the fruit.

After watering it, Duolu stroked its leaves and said, "You must grow well and produce lots of fruit for us to eat."

Duoxi tiptoed and touched the fruit tree: "If it grows lots and lots, Second Brother will have fruit to give back to me."

That's right, while eating cherry tomatoes just now, Doro borrowed two more fruits from Doki.

Doro's movements froze for a moment, and he suddenly felt that his younger brother was not as cute as before.
