Xia Yuanfang: “…”
What's there to be happy about?
Happy to be eaten right away?
Xia Yuanfang felt that Sanzong's worship of Xia Chujian was blind.
But of course she wouldn't say it out loud. She just smiled and said, "Maybe these rice seedlings like the three-bristle, so they matured quickly."
San Zong said happily, "Really? Master Shaojun said so too! Now Aunt Xia says so too. San Zong really believes it!"
"That must be the case. You have to believe it even if you don't want to." Xia Yuanfang said as he saw Aunt Chen coming over with water and food.
She hurriedly said, "Are you tired? Are you hungry? Come over and drink some water and eat something."
Xia Chujian straightened up and pounded his back, saying, "There's still a little bit left before the harvest is finished. We'll eat it after we're done."
She and Sanzong worked hard at harvesting for another half an hour, harvesting all the rice seedlings in the acre of land and putting them into the processing area in the granary.
There, threshing, drying, screening and cleaning can be carried out using mechanical equipment.
No need to worry about weather changes.
…
The next day, it rained as expected.
But the rain was not heavy, it just drizzled for the whole morning and then stopped.
Xia Chujian cut rice for four or five hours last night, and couldn't get up the next day.
She lay on the bed humming, and Zhu Yingying came to her room with food to feed her.
Xia Chujian said with a bitter face: "Is Sanzong okay? Doesn't he have a backache?"
"Sanzong is a master at these jobs, so how could he have a backache... Chujian, you've never done farm work before, and you're working so hard for the first time. It would be strange if you don't have a backache." Zhu Yingying said as she blew the soup cool and fed it to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingers.
She sighed and said, "I used to do physical training every day, but I didn't expect that a single harvest would knock me down."
"This is different," Zhu Yingying said. "Even an athlete would collapse from exhaustion after a day of farm work."
Xia Chujian nodded: "From now on, I will never say that studying is the hardest thing. Farming is a hundred times harder than studying..."
"It's good that you know. Don't go against Aunt Xia in the future..." Zhu Yingying said quietly, "The test papers Aunt Xia gave were very good. I learned a lot from them."
Xia Chujian was very proud: "Then you should study hard, maybe you can also get into Beichen University!"
Zhu Yingying smiled and said, "I don't have such big ambitions. I just want to get to Kanli Star or Zangge Star. Beichen Star is too far away and out of reach."
Xia Chujian originally wanted to say, if there was a question that Auntie had predicted...
But she suddenly remembered that her aunt had warned her not to tell anyone about her prediction of the topic.
Xia Chujian also knew that it would not be a good thing if other people knew about this.
So he changed his words and said, "Kanli Star is good. I remember the university there is good and the subsidies are higher than other universities."
Zhu Yingying whispered, "I'm attracted by their subsidies. They can help my mother work less hard..."
On Guiyuan Star, the cost of supporting a college student is enough to turn a middle-class family from rich to poor.
But as soon as they graduate, the money earned by college students can immediately allow the whole family to return to their previous middle-class life.
In a few years, you will be able to reach a higher level.
So the civilians and citizens on Guiyuan Star don’t have to think about what to choose.
Xia Chujian said, "You don't have to worry about college expenses. Auntie and Aunt Chen are doing business together, and soon our family will be rich!"
Zhu Yingying smiled but said nothing.
After what happened at the club, she no longer pinned her hopes on others, and decided it would be better for her to work hard on her own.
…
The weather was exceptionally good for the next few days.
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue with white clouds every day.
Sanzong processed the harvested rice ears in the granary and soon stored all the grains.
In the paddy fields that had been harvested before, the water in the ditches quickly dried up because there was no water diversion and no rainfall.
Xia Chujian walked with Wufu and Sixi in the fields and asked Sanzong, "Sanzong, do you want to bring more water here?"
San Zong said, "We need to divert water immediately so we can plant another crop before the weather gets too cold."
Mulan City is in the northern hemisphere of Guiyuan Star, and to the north of Mulan City, it borders the Monster Forest.
Winter comes early here. In a year, there are four months of severe winter and two months of spring.
The suitable time for planting is only six months from February to August.
Therefore, for the next three days, Xia Chujian worked with Sanzong to use a pump to divert water from the small lake to the rice fields that had just been harvested.
The seeds of Sanmang were cultivated at the beginning of the year, and now the second seedling cultivation has begun.
Xia Chujian would stroll into the greenhouse every day to watch the rice seeds grow from small sprouts into thriving 15-centimeter seedlings.
In just three days, all the seedlings in the greenhouse broke through the soil.
In the past, it would take at least fifteen days for Sanzong to grow seedlings on his own.
If it were someone else, it would take thirty days.
But this time, three days was enough.
Sanzong was now certain that it was Xia Chujian's credit.
Several times, he secretly told Xia Chujian, "Master Shaojun, Sanzong thinks you are best suited for farming. Why don't you apply to an agricultural university?"
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "San Zong, do you know about Agricultural University?"
Three-bristled piglet blushed slightly and said, "Aunt Xia taught Three-bristled to read and write. Now Three-bristled knows a lot of things he didn't know before, and he often goes to the Star Network to broaden his horizons!"
