After everyone had divided the food, Shen Qingqing had nothing to do here, so she simply went home and took advantage of Zhou Yuan's absence so that she could enter the space and take care of her land.
The next day, Shen Qingqing went to the field as usual. In the afternoon, she saw a group of people gathered in the field at the other end, chattering about something.
Shen Jiaojiao on the side dropped the hoe and ran over first. Shen Qingqing looked at her with distress as she casually threw the hoe beside the field, then walked over to pick it up and put it away.
Iron farm tools like hoes are very precious, but Shen Jiaojiao threw them away carelessly. If she lost it, she would have to pay for it.
At that time, the country's steel production was not very high, and Shen Qingqing really couldn't stand her behavior.
After putting down their hoes, Shen Qingqing walked to the other end. The two of them had been working on the fields here.
I heard from my sister-in-law who was working on the land next door that those were the first batch of crops planted, and they were all vegetables.
Logically speaking, the weather here is hot and the vegetable growth cycle is fast, so the vegetables planted in the last batch should have grown by now.
Shen Qingqing walked to the edge of the field, peered through the crowd, and asked the people around her for information. "Sister, what's going on? Why are you all here?"
The elder sister frowned in worry. "It's all because of this land. Tell me, how long has it been since we last planted these vegetables? We come here every day to take care of them, watering and fertilizing them. But they haven't grown anything for so many days."
Shen Qingqing looked at the land. Most of it was mud, with only a few sparse patches of green near the trees.
However, the seedlings that grew out were visibly thin, with leaves drooping and looking half-dead.
Shen Qingqing was very surprised. "Only a few vegetable seedlings grew out of such a large piece of land?"
"Yes, why is the weather so bad today? If it continues like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest much of the water spinach and other vegetables we planted. Sigh... Why doesn't God give us food to eat?"
The current situation was obviously worse than Shen Qingqing had imagined. She felt a little solemn and suddenly began to doubt whether her seeds could still increase their yield like in her previous life.
"Forget it, sisters, don't worry too much. Let's wait and see if there is any way to solve this problem." Shen Qingqing comforted the eldest sister for a while and then walked towards the last field.
She had just observed that other fields had some vegetable seedlings growing, but this field had not a single vegetable growing at all.
While everyone was focusing on how to protect the seedlings that had already grown, she squatted down, dug a small hole beside the field, and buried a few space dragon seeds.
She wanted to see if these seeds could still grow without being affected by the weather, like they had in her previous life.
In order to prevent herself from remembering it wrong, she even made an inconspicuous mark that only she could see.
After doing all this, she returned to her own land.
Except for the wives of the soldiers in charge of these plots who had to report the situation, everyone else could only return to their own plots and continue working. You can't just stop working because there's little hope.
Shen Qingqing thought so too, but Shen Jiaojiao just lay down and didn't want to work anymore.
Anyway, in her opinion, it was useless to work now. These seeds might not grow even if they were planted. She had better wait patiently for Lu Yunshan to come up with a solution and research a new type of seeds. It would not be too late for her to plant them later.
Seeing Shen Qingqing sweating profusely, she not only did not want to remind her, but was very happy to see the scene where Shen Qingqing would find out that her efforts were in vain after a while.
Work hard, you won’t be able to grow much even if you work yourself to death!
In the afternoon, Shen Jiaojiao threw down her hoe and ran home happily. She couldn't wait to know how far Lu Yunshan's research had progressed.
Although she knew she had to be patient, she couldn't suppress her excitement at the thought of becoming the head captain's wife.
