Looking at Yunlong's expression, Liu Anran smiled and asked, "In Yunlong's heart, is Daddy a very capable person?"
Yunlong nodded and said, "Dad was very powerful when he killed zombies. He said he would protect me and Mom, but he didn't show up when the monsters appeared."
As Yunlong spoke, a hint of disappointment crossed his face. He had thought his father would come to save him and his mother, but his father did not appear. It seemed that his father did not love him or his mother.
Looking at Yunlong's dejected expression, Liu Anran felt a pang of bitterness. She had also fantasized that Chu Yunxiao would appear when she and Yunlong were in the most danger, but fantasies are just fantasies and will never become reality.
"Yunlong, even without your father, your mother can still protect you."
Yunlong said, "Mom, it will be very hard for you to take care of me all by yourself."
Liu Anran looked at Yunlong tenderly and smiled, "Every day when I open my eyes, I can see you, and I feel very happy. I don't feel tired at all."
Yunlong said with a smile, "Mom, I was so happy to see you as soon as I opened my eyes."
"Eat quickly, eat your fill, and Mom will teach you how to farm," Liu Anran said.
After Liu Anran and Yunlong finished their meal, Liu Anran led Yunlong to a pile of farm tools.
“Yunlong, these are all farm tools that Mom collected in the mountain village. This is a hoe, a weeding shovel, a five-pronged rake, a plow rake, a winnowing basket…”
"Mom, farming requires so many things!" Yunlong exclaimed.
“Yes! Farmers work very hard. Without their hard work, we wouldn’t have anything to eat and we would go hungry,” Liu Anran said.
Liu Anran picked up a hoe and said to Yunlong, "Now we'll start digging. You watch from the side. When you learn how, you can help your mother with chores when you grow up."
Liu Anran started digging, saying as she did so, "When digging, don't dig too deep with one stroke. If you don't have the strength, dig twice in the same spot. This way, the soil you dig will help the roots of the seeds grow downwards and absorb enough water, resulting in lush and vigorous crops."
Yunlong asked curiously, "Mom, what are crops?"
"The rice we eat, and the vegetables we usually eat, are all crops," Liu Anran said.
Liu Anran was panting heavily after digging for two hours.
Yunlong filled a glass with water and handed it to Liu Anran. Liu Anran took a sip and then handed the glass back to Yunlong, saying, "The water in your space is very precious. You can only drink one glass a day at most. You can drink the well water from your mother's space normally."
Yunlong nodded, indicating that he understood, and slowly finished drinking the water in his cup.
Liu Anran dug a plot of land, divided it into rows, and said to Yunlong, "I need to divide the dug land into rows. Each row should be at least 45 centimeters wide. I'm going to plant corn, so the rows should be 90 centimeters wide. There should be a ditch between the rows, about 10 centimeters wide. When it rains heavily, the water will flow into the ditch, so the crops won't be flooded. It can also be used for walking, so you don't have to worry about stepping on the corn when watering it."
Liu Anran went to get a new shovel and divided the soil into rows. She then said to Yunlong, "After dividing the soil into rows, you need to level the ground and break up any large clumps of soil with the back of the shovel."
Yunlong said, "Mom, this is so troublesome."
Liu Anran smiled, leveled the ground, and looked at Yunlong, who was watching from the side, and said eloquently, "Now we need to dig a hole and put the seeds in it. If you have dried chicken manure or dried pig manure, use them to cover the seeds. Wood ash is also fine. If you don't have dried chicken manure, dried pig manure, or wood ash, you can just cover the seeds with soil."
"Mom, what is wood ash?" Yunlong asked curiously.
Liu Anran explained, "Wood ash is the ash made from burning branches, leaves, roots and grass. In the countryside, people like to cook with firewood, so they take out the ash that accumulates in the stove and use it to grow vegetables."
As Liu Anran dug the nest, she said, "There's a proper way to dig a nest; you can't just dig randomly."
"Mom, why don't we just dig a hole anywhere? Why go through all that trouble?" Yunlong asked, puzzled.
Liu Anran patiently said, "How can we be careless when farming? We must treat the crops in the field as our own lifeline, otherwise we will go hungry."
Looking at Liu Anran's flushed face and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Yunlong frowned and said, "Mom, being a farmer is hard and troublesome. I don't want to be a farmer."
Liu Anran smiled and said, "If you don't want to be a farmer, then study hard and diligently cultivate the Concentration Technique."
“Mom, being a person is so tiring. It would be best to be a tree, where you don’t have to do anything,” Yunlong said.
Liu Anran burst into laughter upon hearing Yunlong's words. This kid doesn't want to be a person, but actually wants to be a tree. I'm truly impressed by him.
Liu Anran laughed and said, "Yunlong, people can cut down trees and burn them to ashes. Do you still want to be a tree?"
Yunlong was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Mom, I still prefer to be a person."
He doesn't want to be burned to ashes; that would be too painful.
Liu Anran shook her head with a smile and said earnestly, "Yunlong, you don't have to farm in the future, but Mom has to farm. You have to study hard so you can help Mom when she's tired."
Yunlong didn't want Liu Anran to be too tired, and he also hoped that you could help Liu Anran, so he quickly said, "Mom, I will definitely learn how to farm properly from you."
A bright smile bloomed on Liu Anran's face.
"When digging holes, the holes should not be too small. If they are too small, water will flow out of the holes when watering, and the seeds will not be able to absorb enough water. The holes should also not be too close together. If they are too close together, it will not be good for crop growth and will affect the harvest."
“We want to plant corn. If the corn grows too tall and the corn plants are too close together, the leaves will block each other and affect photosynthesis. If they are too far apart, it will also affect the harvest.”
"Why?."
Liu Anran said, "The corn is too far away, and the moisture in the soil will evaporate quickly under the sun."
Liu Anran dug the hole, handed the corn seeds to Yunlong, and said, "Can you help Mom put the corn seeds into the hole?"
“Okay!” Yunlong replied cheerfully.
Liu Anran said, "Just put three corn seeds in each hole."
Yunlong replied happily, "Mom, I understand."
Yunlong put the corn seeds into the hole, and Liu Anran covered the seeds with soil with a shovel.
Yunlong asked curiously, "Mom, why do we cover the seeds with soil?"
Liu Anran replied, "If seeds are exposed to the sun, they will lose moisture. Covering the seeds with soil, which contains moisture and warmth, will help them germinate quickly. After germination, the roots will grow downwards, which is beneficial for growth and also prevents birds from stealing the seeds."
"I understand, it's like when we sleep, we need to cover ourselves with a blanket," Yunlong said with a sudden realization.
"You can think that way too," Liu Anran said with a smile.
Yunlong and Liu Anran worked together to plant the corn, then watered the seeds. After wiping the sweat from her brows, Yunlong said to Liu Anran, "Mom is hungry. Let's plant a small patch first and continue tomorrow."
Liu Anran helped Yunlong wash his face and hands. Yunlong said to Liu Anran, "Mom, I want to eat cucumber."
Liu Anran readily agreed: "Okay, Mom will stir-fry some cucumber for you later."
It was just a small request, and Liu Anran was willing to grant Yunlong's wish. However, if Yunlong asked for delicacies, she would be unable to comply.
Liu Anran picked a basket of apples and peaches and put them on the coffee table. She said to Yunlong, "Mom will go cook. If you're hungry, eat the apples and peaches first."
While eating a peach, Yunlong said, "Mom, there's food and drink in the space, and there's no danger. Can we stay in the space forever?"
“No, if we stay in this space all the time, it will make us lose our curiosity and desire to explore the world. It will also make us disconnect from the outside world and dull our brains,” Liu Anran said.
As Liu Anran spoke, she looked at Yunlong and asked with a smile, "Yunlong, do you want to become an idiot?"
“I don’t want to. If I become an idiot, and you get old, there will be no one to take care of you,” Yunlong said.
Liu Anran was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
After finishing her meal, Liu Anran took out the zombie crystal cores, washed them clean, and picked out about ten lightning-type crystal cores, handing them to Yunlong, saying, "Take these and absorb them."
"Thank you, Mom!" Yunlong took the lightning-element crystal core and went to the side to absorb it.
Liu Anrong picked up a wood-type crystal core, held it in her hand, and absorbed the energy inside. After absorbing about ten wood-type crystal cores, Liu Anrong stood up and realized that it was almost dark outside the space. So she left the space and came to the place where the car exploded.
She looked around, walked to a big tree, took out a dagger, and carved a line of words on the tree: "Chu Yunxiao, you are a scumbag. You don't keep your word. I curse you to have a son without an anus!"
