She felt that Big White and Little White were really pitiful, and that her good friend Liu Shile was exploiting the two little ones like a heartless exploiter.
Liu Shile didn't care what she thought. Anyway, she had always done it this way. Wouldn't it be a waste not to make use of available labor?
She must be crazy to leave the perfectly good Baymax and Baymax unused and instead go through all that trouble running around herself.
Even though she is strong, she could save some energy and make things easier for herself, so why should she make things difficult for herself?
Pick up the pebbles, break up the large clumps of soil, and then plow the land to make it flat and smooth.
Then they scattered the seeds they had brought and watered them, and thus their land reclamation project was declared a success.
At this moment, apart from the confident Liu Shile, the other three expressed doubts about this planting method.
It is said that it takes several years of careful cultivation to make barren land fertile.
It's best to sprinkle some wood ash or similar substances on it. People with the means will also compost it to improve the soil quality.
But all they did was sprinkle some wood ash and some seeds that were supposedly green manure, and that was it?
Liu Shile could naturally see their worries.
He then laughed and said, "The purple clover is quite resilient; we'll know next week whether it has survived."
A week is enough time for them to take root and sprout.
She also wanted to sprinkle some cilantro, peas, and other things on top.
They are cold-resistant and don't require much care after being spread. As for fertility, there's also milkvetch.
Besides, these seeds were saved from the farm's wasteland, so their vitality is self-evident. Even if they don't grow well, we can still harvest some.
Eating fresh green vegetables in winter is a very pleasant thing.
Okay, this is the southwest, where there are green vegetables available even in winter.
Unlike in the north, where you can hardly find any green vegetables except for Chinese cabbage in winter.
So if possible, she also wants to plant some potatoes, cabbage, and radishes.
Five or six acres of land, she only needs to plant a small portion or two of each kind. She doesn't need to plant too much, since it's just an experiment, right?
"Yes, that's all we can do for now," Wang Guangying nodded.
After saying that, he added, "If they sprout next time we come, perhaps we can plant some chives and cilantro."
My mom likes to grow these cold-resistant vegetables at home; the best part is they don't require much care.
Liu Shile nodded. This girl was a godsend; she spoke up for her before she even had a chance to bring it up.
So Liu Shile counted on her hands again and said, "There are also potatoes, cabbage, and spinach that can be grown in winter, but I don't know if they can survive here."
"It's probably going to be difficult, since we're not around often. We're just born and raised by nature, and it's good that we're alive."
Looking at the terraced fields, Wang Guangjie felt that all the hard work was worthwhile.
However, it would be even better if they could give them some feedback, such as the seeds they planted surviving.
This time, they brought quite a lot of things with them when they came up. Although there wasn't much refined grain, there was plenty of coarse grain.
With Big White and Little White bringing over a lot of prey, they ate to their hearts' content.
Seeing that it was getting late, they didn't linger any longer. They put all their tools in the tool shed and headed down the mountain to return to the city.
On the way, Wang Guangying looked at Liu Shile's hands, which hadn't gotten any thicker, and then looked at her own, feeling extremely frustrated.
They're both human, and they both do hard work, so why did Lele's hands remain unchanged while hers became rough?
If I hadn't seen with my own eyes that Liu Shile hadn't slacked off at all and had worked faster than all of them, I wouldn't have known.
Wang Guangying was starting to suspect that Liu Shile was slacking off, but several pairs of eyes could see that she was actually doing her work!
"Lele, why haven't your hands changed at all? Look at mine, they've all gotten so rough, boohoo..."
She was faking her tears, but her envy of Liu Shile's hands was genuine.
To be honest, Lele did much more work than her.
Grandma Wang's vegetable garden has a lot of work to do every day. Lele has to do it every day, but what about her?
She doesn't need to. All she needs to do is study hard. When she gets home, she just cooks and does laundry.
Last week, her hands got blistered, but after applying the ointment Lele gave her, they healed quite quickly.
Although I didn't get any more chafed skin this week, I did suffer some minor injuries.
Liu Shile noticed a pair of hands with many small wounds. Well, this girl really isn't cut out for manual labor.
Look at her hands, they're so tender you could squeeze water out of them, but the scars ruin their beauty.
The thought that her hands would become rough in the future made Liu Shile feel a little embarrassed.
Although it wasn't something she insisted on making them do, she still felt a little reluctant.
A young woman's hands are like her second face; if they become rough due to unavoidable circumstances, there's nothing that can be done about it.
However, if they could be properly cared for, Liu Shile would still be willing to try and save them.
Therefore, she patted Wang Guangying's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Ying'er, don't be afraid. I'll get you some hand cream later, and your hands will be back to normal soon."
She has a vast collection of medical books on her farm. Although she hasn't finished reading them all, she has read books on ancient medicine, beauty, and skincare.
She fiddled with it a bit when she had nothing else to do, but she doesn't really need to use her hands, so she doesn't know how effective it will be.
Now that Wang Guangying has this need, we can definitely give it a try.
Well, Wang Guangying has temporarily become the guinea pig for hand cream.
Okay, actually she's tried it herself and it felt pretty good, cool and refreshing, and easily absorbed.
Most importantly, it will not cause any harm or side effects to the human body after use.
That's why she felt comfortable letting Wang Guangying use it; otherwise, she wouldn't have let someone use something that hadn't been tested.
Upon hearing this, Wang Guangying's eyes lit up as she looked at Liu Shile, "Wow, Shile, you can actually make hand cream?"
You're amazing! You're truly my idol. Don't worry, Lele, I promise I won't tell anyone about this!
She was very sensible and immediately promised not to tell anyone about it.
In her opinion, Lele had studied medicine for so long, she should have been able to make these things by now.
But she never said anything, probably because she didn't want anyone to know.
Now that people are being kind to her and giving her things to use, it would be too much for her to be ungrateful.
A hint of a smile flashed in Liu Shile's eyes as she gave her second brother, whose eyes were filled with worry, a reassuring look.
He then smiled and said, "Okay, I trust Sister Ying'er."
…………
Time flies, and winter vacation is here in the blink of an eye.
This time, Liu Shile and her brother did not stay in the county town, but went home as soon as the holiday started.
Then I walked into the mountains with the Wang siblings.
The cold wind felt like knives on their faces, but the group didn't care.
It's not that they aren't afraid of the cold, but rather that the thought of a bountiful harvest warms their hearts.
They originally thought that even if crops could be grown on the newly reclaimed land, they probably wouldn't grow very well.
However, the reality was much better than they had imagined.
Although they do not grow as well as the crops cultivated by experienced farmers, their yield is similar to that of ordinary land.
This surprised the Wang siblings, who found it hard to believe that they had reclaimed this land.
