Xia Lunong got up early in the morning and ran into Kong Zhi when he went out.

Kong Zhi had a handsome face without any expression and looked a little listless.

He looked at Kong Zhi's complexion, "Why is your face a little pale? Did you stay up late again?"

"Nothing." Kong Zhi handed him his cup, "Are you going to the fields later?"

"Well, let's go and pull some weeds before the sun goes out."

Xia Lunong filled her own mouthwash cup with water and poured some for him, "When you come back later, go to Lao Liu to exchange some herbs. There are a lot of mosquitoes recently. I think I should boil some mosquito repellent."

Kong Zhi: "I'll go with you."

Xia Lunong looked up in surprise, "Have you taken care of the rice fields? Aren't you going to release water in the rice fields?"

"Almost." Kong Zhi pressed his shoulder and turned him back, letting him brush his teeth. "I'll go to the fields with you in the morning."

Xia Lunong was happy to have someone to help her, and nodded in agreement with her eyes bent.

Kong Zhi brushed his teeth and washed his face and went out with him.

The sun hadn't come out in the morning yet, and the grass leaves on both sides of the road were covered with morning dew, and there were small insects flying around.

Xia Lunong scratched here and there, and soon his arms were scratched red.

Kong Zhi asked, "Why don't you wear long sleeves?"

"It's cooler in the morning." Xia Lunong grabbed another handful, pushed Kong Zhi's back, and urged, "Let's walk faster to avoid these mosquitoes."

After the disaster, the mosquitoes flew faster and bit more fiercely, but they didn't become bigger.

Maybe the mosquitoes are more conspicuous when they are bigger, which is not conducive to them biting people and animals.

The two walked to the field. The morning

dew was still there, and the soil in the field was quite moist. When you stepped on it, it was so soft that half of your shoe could be buried.

I have to wash my shoes when I go back today, Xia Lunong muttered to herself, and slowly went down to the field to check the fruits and vegetables in the field.

There were still many fruits hanging on the eggplant trees and the pepper trees, while the tomatoes were a little old, with some leaves falling off, and there were not as many fruits as before, but they could still hold on for a while.

The most serious problem was the beans, whose leaves were mostly yellowing, and there were few fruits. He had to take some time to pull out these beans and plant something else.

It was already the second half of the year, so vegetables could be arranged, but he had to think about what to plant.

Xia Lunong walked around the field, and she and Kong Zhi each took a plot of land, slowly pulling out the weeds. Pulling out

weeds is a job that requires a lot of patience. They have to pull out the big ones as well as the small ones, especially the ones that have just emerged. If they want to pull them up, they have to hold them with their hands and slowly pull them up.

After pulling out the weeds, the soil under the weeds was exposed. Most of the places were fluffy and moist. It seemed that there was no need to water or loosen the soil in the short term.

The two squatted on the ground and worked until the sun rose high before they straightened their aching backs.

Xia Lunong patted his lower back and announced that the weeding operation had come to an end. "Okay, come back in the afternoon. Let's go back and have breakfast first."

Kong Zhi responded, picked the grass on the ground, put the tender grass into the backpack, and carried it to feed the fish later.

Before leaving, he also picked the ripe tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and beans.

Xia Lunong went to the garlic sprouts and pulled out a few of the thinner ones, planning to take them back to stir-fry with yellow eels.

The garlic sprouts grew next to the peanuts, and the peanuts should be ripe soon. At this time, the leaves of many plants were slightly burnt.

Xia Lunong couldn't help but look up at Kong Zhi and asked loudly: "I'll pull some tender peanuts back so we can make yellow eel stew?"

"Okay."

Xia Lunong stood up and ran to the edge of the two acres of peanut field.

Peanuts have been planted for so long, but this is the first time he has pulled them out, and he doesn't know how the peanuts are growing underneath.

He put the backpack away, stood in front of the peanut field and observed for a while, and specifically picked out the peanuts with yellow leaves and pulled them hard.

Who knew that he couldn't even pull them out with one hand!

It was really a ghost.

"Hey!" Xia Lunong was very unconvinced.

Since he was able to transform into a beast, his physical fitness has improved a lot. He is no longer the rookie who just came out of the medical courtyard.

He can lift a load of 100 kilograms, so he is too weak if he can't pull up a peanut.

Xia Lunong didn't believe that a grown man like him had to pull peanuts with both hands.

He didn't believe in evil!

The consequence of not believing in evil was that he couldn't pull up the peanut with one hand for a long time.

Pulling this peanut made sweat on his forehead. Kong Zhi

came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xia Lunong said, "Just pulling peanuts."

He looked down.

When the peanut seedlings grow up, the stems and leaves on them are not single plants, but clusters.

A cluster of leaves can be pulled up in the palm of your hand.

He was now trying to see if he had accidentally pulled out two peanuts as one, otherwise why was it so difficult to pull them out? After

a careful inspection, he found that there was no such thing. There was just one clean peanut under his hand.

This was strange.

Xia Lunong's expression remained unchanged. He secretly exerted all his strength and pulled hard, but it still didn't move.

There was something wrong under the peanut!

It might have changed!

Xia Lunong's expression turned pale, and he quickly called Kong Zhi, "Come and take a look at this peanut."

"What's wrong with the peanut?"

Xia Lunong stopped trying hard when he walked over, and pulled the peanut with both hands.

This time he finally pulled it out, and the peanuts underneath were pulled out with the soil, and he himself lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

The soil underneath was brought out, revealing a big pit.

Next to the pit was a large peanut plant that Xia Lunong had pulled out.

Xia Lunong was too lazy to get up, so he sat on the ground, reached out and grabbed the peanut plant, knocked it, and shook off the dirt.

Soon, he found something wrong, "Why does this peanut have so many kernels?"

Xia Lunong had seen peanuts in shells before.

The most common peanuts in shells are those with two kernels in one. Occasionally, you can see peanuts with three kernels in one. Four kernels are considered rare, and five kernels are as lucky as a four-leaf clover, which is very rare.

Xia Lunong held up the peanuts to look at them. The peanuts he pulled out mostly had five kernels in one peanut, and rarely four or three.

"This is amazing." Xia Lunong held up the peanuts to Kong Zhi, a little confused. "If you don't know, you would think there is a bunch of peas underneath. How can peanuts be like this?"

Only pea pods can have so many peas in one pod.

Kong Zhi observed carefully for a while and asked, "Don't you usually inject superpowers into the peanuts quite often?"

"It's just that I inject it once in a while when applying fertilizer, and it's applied on a large scale. I've injected it so many times, and they haven't shown any other abnormalities except that they are a little stronger than ordinary peanuts. Could it be that they have all become abnormal?"

Kong Zhi took the peanut plant and stretched out his hand to count them, "This peanut plant has produced a total of 104 peanuts."

"Impossible?!" Xia Lunong's eyes widened and he jumped up from the ground, "Let me see."

"One, two, three... 102, 103, 104, my God, it's true!"

Even if Xia Lunong didn't have common sense, he knew that a peanut seedling producing more than 100 peanuts was a bumper harvest.

Moreover, he had been planting for half a year and knew how difficult it was to grow peanuts.

Xia Lunong was stunned for a moment and said, "This one might be an accident. Let's pull out a few more!"

Kong Zhi bent down, grabbed the peanut seedling with his slender fingers, and pulled it hard, pulling out a large handful of soil and pulling out the second peanut.

Then the third one.

Xia Lunong took the second peanut plant and counted them. "This plant has a total of ninety-eight peanuts, and seventy-five of them contain five peanut kernels."

Kong Zhi said, "My plant has a total of one hundred and twelve peanuts, and ninety-four of them contain five peanut kernels."

"Okay, it's confirmed. It's indeed a rare bumper harvest." Xia Lunong patted his lower back and murmured, "I have to tell my brother and others first, and then tell Professor Yan in the afternoon."

"Yeah."

Xia Lunong looked at the two acres of peanuts in front of him, "I'm afraid we can't use them to press oil this year. We have to save them for seeds next year."

"So many people in the base grow peanuts, it's the same to find someone to exchange some." Kong Zhi carried the backpack and took him, "Let's go, let's go find Lao Liu to exchange herbs first."

Xia Lunong was still a little dazed, and followed him to find Lao Liu in a daze.

Old Liu's house was almost like a grocery store, with all kinds of things piled up in the living room. He searched for a long time before he found the herbs.

Xia Lunong took it and said absentmindedly, "Brother Liu, I'll bring you rice at noon."

"No hurry, just bring it to me when you remember." Old Liu asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Did your brother catch ants yesterday? How did they taste?"

"It's okay, with a slight sour taste, but very tender, a bit like eating shrimp." Xia Lunong savored it for a while, "It goes well with rice if you stir-fry it with chili peppers."

"I know it's delicious when you say that."

Xia Lunong looked up at him, "Brother Liu, do you want to go out and catch ants?"

"How dare we go out of our way to catch them? If we encounter ants, they will probably catch us." Old Liu said, "If we encounter them in the future, we can catch a few along the way."

Xia Lunong knew that he must want to catch ants when he heard him say this, but he didn't say it out loud. He waved to him after taking the herbs, "We'll go back first."

"Go."

Old Liu waved his hand, and looked at the peanut seedlings covering their backpacks. He felt quite emotional in his heart, because he had exchanged the peanut seeds with him.

Before planting peanuts, Xia Lunong looked frail and had not recovered from her illness.

This crop of peanuts was planted, and it has not been half a year yet. Not only has this guy recovered from his illness, but his personality has also become much more cheerful.

It seems that in the past six months, not only have the peanuts grown, but he has also grown more.

The people in this base are just like peanuts in the ground. They have grown up in a big group and their appearance is completely different from before.
