Xia Lunong and his team had a very happy New Year.

After the New Year, Leng Changkong and his team returned to the Spark Base with a lot of supplies.

Xia Lunong and his team donated a space bamboo tube, which contained a lot of things. It was not visible from the outside, and the people in the base did not know that their base and the Spark Base had already carried out in-depth cooperation.

This is a peaceful spring.

After the New Year, there were several spring rains, and the weather gradually warmed up.

As the weather warmed up, the outside was covered with lush green.

New grass buds and tree buds emerged in the fields and on both sides of the road.

Xia Lunong and his team began to enter the spring plowing stage.

Last year, they could only dig the ground a little bit by manpower for spring plowing, but this year they can already use cattle to plow the fields.

Thanks to He Shuhui's hard work, their cattle are half-grown this year and can be put into farming.

This also made their cows very popular.

All the families who had farmed in the base stretched their necks and looked forward to it.

Finally, everyone asked Xia Lunong for his opinion.

Xia Lunong smiled and said, "If you need it, just rent out the cows. Anyway, the cows are so big, and there is nothing wrong with them participating in the labor."

His cows had nose rings and ropes put on them last year, and they have been trained to be very docile.

Although they have never plowed the fields, experienced farmers should have no problem letting them plow the fields after giving them a try.

The people who came to borrow the cows were overjoyed, and they patted their chests and assured Xia Lunong: "Don't worry, Xiao Nong, we will treat the cows well. We have also plowed your land for you, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Then I'll go with you to find He Shuhui later." Xia Lunong said, "The cows will help you plow the fields, so please help feed them. Give them something good to eat in the next two days."

"Don't worry, we will definitely choose the tenderest grass, and feed them with bean feed as a snack."

"If the cows are not well raised, we will compensate you for the nutritional expenses!"

"We are still counting on them to plow the fields, and they will definitely be more careful than they are to our sons."

Xia Lunong was not worried at first, but she was cautious by nature, so she gave more instructions.

Seeing them patting their chests and making promises one after another, he smiled and went with them to pull the cattle.

When he came back, he ran into Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi went to Shanxia Pingyuan early in the morning to repair the machine.

The first factory opened in Shanxia Pingyuan was not a paper factory or a chemical factory but a beverage factory.

Xia Lunong found it incredible when she thought about it, but everyone was very happy about the opening of the beverage factory.

With the increase of such enjoyment-type materials, people's vitality seemed to be gradually returning.

In addition to working, there were people on the basketball court and football field again, and square dancing appeared in the small square.

Next to the square, in addition to people selling drinks, there were also people selling barbecue.

People's focus seemed to have gradually shifted from survival to life.

Seeing Kong Zhi carrying a bag full of things, Xia Lunong asked curiously, "What's in it?"

"Don't you like bamboo shoots? When I passed by the bamboo forest, I dug some bamboo shoots." Kong Zhi said, "I'll make you a dish of bamboo shoots braised with meat for lunch."

Xia Lunong was greedy when she heard that. "Okay, I'll go to the canteen to exchange some meat later. Bamboo shoots are delicious when cooked with meat."

Xia Lunong took the bamboo shoots to the kitchen and put them away. She also told Kong Zhi that the people from the base came to borrow the cow.

Kong Zhi said, "The cow is just there, and it's a good thing that it can help everyone."

"I thought so too, so I agreed."

The two chatted for a while and went to the vegetable field side by side.

It's spring, and it's time

to plant vegetables. Eggplants, peppers, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes... The vegetables they grow themselves are much tastier than the ones they get from the base. Because of this, Xia Lunong and his friends would rather plant their own vegetables even if they have enough supplies to exchange for food and vegetables.

After all, food is a great pleasure in life, and life is already tiring enough now, so we can't throw away food.

The two of them were busy all morning.

When they went home for lunch at noon, his brother and his ex-brother also came back.

Yan Xinian arrived before he even showed up, "Hey, what are we having for lunch? I can smell the delicious food from a distance."

Xia Lunong asked, "Guess?"

Yan Xinian said, "There will definitely be meat."

Yan Xinian walked around and said with a smile while looking at the bamboo shoots in the pot, "I didn't expect that today is a seasonal dish. Bamboo shoots are the tenderest in spring."

Xia Lunong's eyes were filled with pride, "Kong Zhi dug them this morning."

"It's all thanks to him that we can enjoy this feast." Yan Xinian returned to the topic after boasting, "Xiao Nong, I want to discuss something with you."

"You tell me."

Yan Xinian's face was calm. "Didn't you plant the seeds sent by the Fire Seed Base before, and accumulated a lot of experience and data? Now that spring has begun, the base will also start large-scale spring farming activities. I want to discuss with you and invite you to give a class."

Xia Lunong not only planted the seeds sent by the Fire Seed Base, but also conducted multiple experiments in batches and control groups.

Yan Mingqing also discussed with him a lot during this period, and both of them learned a lot.

Xia Lunong originally talked about planting mostly on paper, but after this specialized planting, he accumulated a lot of experience and gained a lot.

Hearing Yan Xinian's suggestion, Xia Lunong said without hesitation: "I have no problem, but my experience is relatively single and specialized, and I have to ask Professor Yan to teach with me."

Yan Xinian also agreed immediately, "That's no problem, I'll go and tell him, you two complement each other, it's good."

The two smiled at each other, and their moods were inexplicably relaxed.

Yan Xinian patted his shoulder and said with emotion: "Xiao Nong, you really helped us a lot, it's great to have you."

Xia Lunong said seriously: "This is our home, let's not talk about whether to help or not, not to mention if it weren't for my brother and you bringing me to this base when I was unconscious, there would be no now."

After hearing this, Yan Xinian said: "You really grew up."

Xia Lunong nodded and said, "I have grown up a long time ago. You and my brother can try to trust us and put some of the responsibility on our shoulders."

Yan Xinian looked at him with a smile, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, I have already shared the worries between you. Haven't you seen that your brother and I have become younger and younger over the past year, and our wrinkles have decreased a lot?"

This is true. When Xia Lunong just woke up, Xia Huoqu was thin and pale, and his whole body was as gloomy as a plant in the rain.

After a year of recuperation and recovery, he still has clear abdominal muscles, but his face is a little flushed, and his whole person has turned from gloomy to cold, and his majesty has become more and more intense.

Xia Huoqu has changed a lot, in addition to eating well, his mood has indeed become much more relaxed.

Xia Lunong felt a little sad, "You have worked hard."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'll go call your brother to eat." Yan Xinian patted his shoulder, "Everything is in the past, we will get better and better in the future."
