This was something the time-traveling trio had just discussed. They couldn't possibly use the Gu family's land directly to plant these crops. The potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn were already identified seeds, so there would be no loss if they were planted.
But they might not recognize the other seeds that Master Zhou has; they have to grow them first.
It wouldn't be good if it were all flower and tree species.
Why not just set aside a separate plot of land, let Lu Zheng bring out the seeds, and let them try it at home first, using jade bead water to accelerate growth. Once they recognize the seeds, they can plant the crops in the set-off plot and let them grow naturally without any further stimulating.
"Does Second Uncle mean he wants to cooperate on all the seeds?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Yes. It seems that none of the seeds Master Zhou received survived. I noticed that the potatoes in the back field are growing quite well, so I thought I'd give it a try," Gu Shouxin said.
“That works. In a couple of days, I’ll go to my great-uncle’s place and get some of each kind of seed. My great-uncle used to plant all kinds of seeds in the estate, and in the end, only some ornamental flowers survived. Some grew into trees, so it’s hard to say which ones will be crops. So, if we can grow the crops, it will be a great achievement, and my great-uncle will definitely not keep all the credit for himself!” Lu Zheng said.
"We can talk about credit later. Let's get the crops planted first. When are you going back? I'll go with you then! We'll also check if the potatoes in the field can be dug up, and we'll dig a basketful for Master Zhou too!" Gu Shouxin said.
“That would be perfect. Let’s wait a couple more days. Aren’t you going to visit the estate, Second Uncle? We can go together after you’ve seen it!” Lu Zheng nodded and said.
His maternal grandfather had wanted to come to Sanchakou Village for a long time, but since his maternal grandmother lived here, he didn't dare to come.
After chatting for a while longer, Lu Zheng took his leave.
Not long after he left, Gu Xin got dressed, wrapped her wet hair in a cloth, and went to warm herself by the fire.
"You! You never tell your parents or sisters about anything. It's so dangerous for you to go alone!" Cai Xiaolian went to get a few dry towels and used them to dry Gu Xin's hair, saying helplessly.
"They're so awful, I was afraid they'd say something that would upset my sister," Gu Xin said guiltily.
She thought her parents and sister wouldn't know when she went out.
"Mom, let me wipe Xinxin! Xinxin really stood up for me today, so I'm going to serve our little darling." Gu Nian took over from Cai Xiaolian.
"Sister, Sisi and I beat that bad guy up. After Yuanyuan stripped him naked, I checked him carefully, and he had bruises all over his body. Yuanyuan said that even with ointment, it would take several days for the bruises to heal. Sister, from now on, if anyone bullies you, I'll call Huihui and Sisi to help you beat them up!" Gu Xin said.
The time-traveling trio never expected that Lu Zheng would strip another man naked in front of Gu Xin.
“By the way, Dad, Brother Yuanyuan said that it’s also good for Sisi to practice martial arts at her age! Dad, let Sisi come to our house every morning to practice martial arts with us!” Gu Xin added.
“Alright, let Huihui and Enzi come too. All the children in our Gu family can practice; there’s a place ready. Xiaolian, take some time to cut out some cloth and make a set of martial arts clothes for the eldest son’s nephews and nieces as well.” Gu Shouxin readily agreed, and Gu Hui and Gu Si followed Xinxin to help without hesitation.
