I can't just say I'm afraid you're too naive and will get scammed, can I?
If I really said that, Cheng Qingyan would get furious, right?
Ye Lingyu lied through her teeth: "I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way back."
"Wife, are you saying I have no sense of direction or that I'm stupid?"
Ye Lingyu didn't say anything, but just gave her a look that said, "What do you think?"
Cheng Qingyan was frustrated. Was she really that stupid?
Why do I always feel so stupid? Is it because my wife is too smart, making me seem foolish?
Perhaps, compared to others, she isn't that stupid?
Since drinking what Jiangjiang gave them, their bodies have become much lighter and their strength has increased significantly.
The previous dozen or so acres of land can now be tilled again.
After several months of resting the land, I turned the soil over again to see how the soil quality is now.
Since it's not yet spring plowing season, oxen for plowing can be rented from Mengjia Village.
For this land clearing project, the village chief's ox was hired, along with two people, Meng Xinyu and Meng Pingkang.
The land, which is more than ten acres in size, was turned over twice more.
Cheng Qingyan collected the wood ash from the villagers, mixed it with fertilizer from her spatial storage, and sprinkled it on the field while turning the soil.
The dozen or so acres of land that were previously full of gravel and had barren soil have become fertile thanks to her modern technology.
This process only took a few months.
Meng Xinyu was in charge of cultivating the land, and he knew best that the land had become at least inferior.
"First, I want to apologize to Brother Qingyan. When I heard that you bought this place, I was secretly laughing at you, thinking that your money was going to go down the drain. I never expected that the land would change so much in just a few months."
Meng Pingkang chimed in, "That's right, this land is at least low-grade now. In less than two years, it will be upgraded to medium or high-grade."
While helping to spread fertilizer, Cheng Qingyan said, "It's not that exaggerated. It's not that fast for inferior land to become superior land."
The taxes paid on superior and inferior land are different. For now, her land can't be upgraded to superior land; at most, it can only be classified as inferior land.
Even though it was a low-grade field, she had only bought it recently, and even if she sold it now, she would still make a lot of money.
After spending several more days cultivating the land, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu truly felt the difference.
My body doesn't get tired as easily, and I feel much stronger.
After finishing up in the fields, Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu went to the space again.
Jiang Jiang remained buried in the ground, but after sensing Cheng Qingyan and the others enter, she briefly came out to meet them.
Cheng Qingyan noticed that the leaves on Jiang Jiang's head had become sparse, and was about to ask her what happened when Jiang Jiang appeared.
"Don't you mothers feel like you have inexhaustible energy right now, and think you're awesome?!"
Cheng Qingyan grabbed her arm: "You're still talking! Look at you now, not only are you weak, but you're also balding! What happened?"
Jiang Jiang subconsciously reached out to touch the top of her head, but probably because her arms were too short, she couldn't reach it after touching it for a long time.
Huffing and puffing, Jiang Jiang crawled out from under Cheng Qingyan's grasp: "Hmph, Mother really doesn't understand Jiang Jiang's heart! Jiang Jiang has become so weak and bald all because of Mother. If Mother laughs at Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang will get angry~"
That's kind of cute! Why does she tell people beforehand that she's going to get angry?
Cheng Qingyan's smile faded, and she said seriously, "I'm not laughing at you, I'm not laughing at you. Mother is just worried about Jiangjiang, afraid that Jiangjiang isn't feeling well."
Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Jiang smiled at Cheng Qingyan and said, "Then Mother, why don't you quickly sprinkle some of the nutrient solution and fertilizer from the package onto Jiang Jiang to help him recover faster?"
"You were originally capable of fertilizing?"
Jiangjiang exclaimed in disbelief, "Mommy! Are you crazy? Jiangjiang is a plant too, of course I can be fertilized!"
Feeling like he had just been called stupid by Ye Lingyu, and now he was being called stupid by the ginseng spirit, Cheng Qingyan really couldn't stand it anymore.
His wife said she would just let it go; for the sake of a harmonious life between husband and wife, it was no big deal to just accept it like this.
But Jiang Jiang, a silly, fat ginseng spirit, why does he also claim to be silly?
In her opinion, Jiang Jiang was the fool!
A person and a ginseng spirit were doing something that revealed their intelligence. Ye Lingyu laughed out loud, really not knowing what these two idiots were competing with.
Hearing Ye Lingyu laugh, Cheng Qingyan leaned closer, looking aggrieved, "Wife! She called me stupid! Waaah, wife, you have to stand up for me!"
Ye Lingyu patted her arm reassuringly: "Ayan isn't stupid, she's just naive."
Cheng Qingyan put his hands on his hips and pointed at Jiang Jiang: "Did you hear that? My wife said I'm not stupid!"
Jiang Jiang covered her eyes, indicating that she couldn't bear to look: "Mother, you're not stupid, it's Jiang Jiang who's stupid. Jiang Jiang is really stupid, how could she have given you two cups of ginseng dew at once?"
If it had been done in two sessions, she wouldn't have been so weak that she would have needed to be buried in the ground to recover.
"It's alright. Even if you're stupid, your mother won't abandon you. She'll still love you." Nutrient solution was poured into the soil as if it were free.
Jiang Jiang was stunned. What was her mother doing?! Wasn't this thing supposed to be poured onto her main body's branches and leaves? How could it be poured into the soil? It was such a waste!
"Mother, stop!"
Cheng Qingyan dropped the empty bottle, looking bewildered, and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to pour you some nutrient solution?"
Jiang Jiang was getting a little frustrated: "Mommy! Can you at least read the instructions before you use it?"
Instruction manual? She doesn't have the habit of reading those things!
He took out another bottle and looked at the instruction manual on the back.
Oh, so this stuff can't be poured directly onto the soil. If you do, its effectiveness will be reduced by 80%!
She's never had one either, so you can't blame her.
Fortunately, she had a large amount of nutrient solution, and feeling guilty, she poured the remaining nutrient solution onto Jiangjiang's branches and leaves, watching as Jiangjiang's branches and leaves unfurled.
As long as it works, that's fine. She poured several more bottles, and Jiang Jiang's weakness visibly diminished.
Seeing that Cheng Qingyan was about to continue pouring nutrient solution on her, Jiangjiang was so frightened that her voice changed: "Mother, Mother, please stop! I'm already full from the nutrient solution. You can't pour any more on me, it's a waste if I can't absorb it."
Cheng Qingyan looked at the small bottle in her hand: "There's an upper limit to this stuff? I didn't notice before, I'll know next time."
"This stuff not only has an upper limit, but it would be a waste to use it on vegetables. Its value far exceeds that of vegetables by many times. Mother, please don't waste it in the future."
She had no concrete understanding of these things.
"Then next time, Jiangjiang, remember to remind me so I can save the rest for you to drink."
As if sensing Cheng Qingyan's favoritism, Jiang Jiang happily rolled around.
Remembering that she also farms outside and wants her vegetables to grow better, could she add some of this magical stuff?
