Chapter 29 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 29
"Is there anything else to turn over?" Jiang Lan used the hoe as a stick to play with it, and it was quite handy. Could it be that farming is his hidden attribute?
[The host was like a monkey just now, it was so funny. ]
[I have been following the show since the beginning. I used to think that the host had a very cold personality. Now I find that the host's coldness is just an appearance, and he is very funny inside. ]
[The host is more reserved in the Jiang family, but much more relaxed outside. ]
[Compared to competing with the Jiang family, it is of course more fun to simply farm. ]
"My dear girl, you still want to turn over the land?" Zhang Ergui felt that this matter was... How should he explain to the child's mother when the time comes? The child finally came here, and he was taken to plow the soil. What kind of thing is this? What if the child's mother mistakenly thought that she was lazy and pushed the work to the child?
Jiang Lan saw Zhang Ergui's restraint, put down the hoe, leaned on the long handle of the hoe, grinned at him, "Dad, I found that I am quite suitable for this. I like to plow the soil. It's fun. It's rare that I have time. Let me play more. Don't worry, I have plenty of strength."
"Okay..." Zhang Ergui thought that it would be good for his daughter to play. After all, plowing the soil was not an easy job. He just thought that it was her first time and she felt it was new.
As for having plenty of strength, Zhang Ergui just took it as a joke. After all, people like to brag and few people would take it seriously.
In order not to spoil the fun, Zhang Ergui immediately took Jiang Lan to another wasteland not far away. This piece of land was on a small slope, and the weeds on the ground were extremely lush. It was indeed a wasteland.
"This piece of land has been barren for a long time. It was used to grow beans before." Zhang Ergui squatted down and started to pull out the weeds. "This grass is a bit prickly. My lady, wait a moment. I will pull out the weeds on top, and then you can go down to turn the soil."
Jiang Lan asked him in confusion: "Why do you have to pull out the weeds separately? You can just shovel them away when you turn the soil."
Isn't this just a waste of time?
"There are too many grasses, they are always tangled together. When you turn the soil, you can't lift the hoe with these grasses." Zhang Ergui continued to pull weeds with a smile, "There is not much land distributed in the village, and the good places have been picked. Our land is not very fertile, and the grain production is not high, so I thought about opening up some wasteland in the mountains to grow vegetables, beans, etc."
"How much can you earn from growing grain in a year?" Don't think that Jiang Lan relies on her strength and has fun turning the soil. Most people can't reach her level. This kind of land is really a physical job, it is definitely not a joke.
"Wheat can be sold for about 1 yuan per pound, plus other things, such as some beans, and we can probably earn more than 10,000 yuan a year." Zhang Ergui smiled naively, "Your mother and I don't spend much. Your brother is now an apprentice carpenter in town and has food and drink, so it doesn't cost much. My daughter, our family will definitely have enough money for you to go to college, don't worry."
[Is agriculture so unprofitable on ancient Earth? So sad. ]
[Interstellar farmers are farm owners, and they are all rich. Most of the farmers on ancient Earth are pure farmers who rely on the weather for their meals. The gap is too big. ]
[I can't take it anymore... I'm going to cry...]
[People with a low tear point really can't watch this. ]
[Poor parents in the world, no matter how poor they are, they are unwilling to make their children suffer. 】
Jiang Lan sighed, "Dad, I can't spend that much on studying. The tuition for one semester is at most a few thousand . If I work hard, I can get a scholarship, which is enough for me to use.
" Zhang Ergui was a little overwhelmed. He really didn't understand these things. "But I heard that the village chief's son was admitted to university. The tuition for one semester is tens of thousands."
"Maybe it's a private school. Public schools are subsidized by the state, and the tuition is not too high. Don't worry, I will definitely be admitted."
Zhang Ergui grinned, his eyes shining, "My old lady is really ambitious."
"Dad, don't pull the weeds anymore, leave it to me." Jiang Lan picked up the hoe and began to turn the soil. The lush grass was not a problem at all. His mental power directly turned into an invisible blade, harvesting along the ground.
"Crack, crack, crack" As Jiang Lan moved, pieces of grass fell down neatly, and the air was filled with the smell of green grass after weeding.
Zhang Ergui stared blankly at his daughter's skillful operation, and some doubts arose in his heart again. He couldn't help but ask: "Daughter, which university are you planning to apply for?" It couldn't be an agricultural school...
Jiang Lan paused with the hand waving the hoe and frowned: "Which university to apply for, I haven't decided yet. I'll decide after the scores come out. As for the major, if nothing unexpected happens, I will apply for a science and engineering major."
"What is a science and engineering major?"
"It's physics, chemistry, information engineering and the like." Jiang Lan did not slow down her hands. She was very good at turning the soil and had a typical obsessive-compulsive personality. The depth of each pit was consistent, and the soil she turned over was also neat and tidy.
"That's good..." Zhang Ergui didn't quite understand, but he thought his daughter was smart and could learn anything well. Look at how well she plowed the land. After all, she was a cultured person and could plow the land better than a rough man like him.
Unconsciously, Zhang Ergui had already begun to develop in the direction of daughter control.
