Upon hearing this, Wang Guangying nodded and immediately said, "Yes, Lele, you want to study medicine, so why do you need to study seeds? Besides, you've never farmed before, how can you do research?"
"Well, who said I've never farmed before? I grew all the vegetables in Grandma Wang's yard. Look how well they're growing. I think I do have some experience."
The grains are probably similar to vegetables, I guess. Although I've never grown them before, I'll find some books and information, ask some experienced farmers, and experiment a bit myself, and I think I'll be able to figure it out pretty well.
Liu Shile shrugged somewhat helplessly. To be honest, if it weren't for the shock of this trip to Yizhou, she probably wouldn't have thought about reclaiming wasteland for the next few years, since she still had to study.
However, Liu Shile discovered something: whenever she did something good, the system would assign her tasks.
The rewards for completing tasks are quite varied; sometimes it's rare seeds, sometimes it's experience points, and sometimes it's gold coins. She's currently short on experience points and gold coins.
She gained a lot of experience from this run, including expanding her automatically planted area and unlocking a useless map as a reward.
She used to be able to participate in a lottery when she reached level 100, and she really wants to know if she can still participate in the lottery after the farm is upgraded again.
Wang Guangying rolled her eyes when she heard this. Vegetables and grains are not the same thing at all. Even experienced farmers who have been growing vegetables for many years would not dare to say that.
But to be fair, the vegetables Lele grows are really good. Not only are the yields high, but they also taste exceptionally good. Every time we go to their place for a meal, they are always very satisfied.
"I don't think clearing land is a good idea. Doesn't the school have a farm? Lele, the school values you a lot. Why don't you talk to the school leaders and ask them to set up an experimental plot or something?"
At this point, Wang Guangjie could see that the girl really wanted to do research. Although he thought her idea was too naive and the matter was not very reliable, he still gave her a fairly pertinent suggestion.
No matter the time, it's always good to have a strong backer. Besides, the school has a farm, so it seems reasonable to provide some conveniences for outstanding students.
Of course, if it's inconvenient, Lele isn't short of money; she can easily pay to rent some space to do experiments. Anyway, Lele doesn't seem to be short of money for the time being.
Wang Guangjie's words made Liu Shile's eyes light up. She thought to herself that people with quick minds are different. It had only been a short time, and he had already come up with a reliable and good idea.
So he nodded and said, "Brother Guangjie, your idea is great. Hmm, when I get back I'll go ask the school leaders to see if I can apply for some land. If I can, that would be wonderful."
"Second brother, you all go back first. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll go back to the mountains and hunt some game to invite Brother Guangjie and Sister Ying'er over for dinner."
Wang Guangjie and his companion tried to decline, but Liu Shile wouldn't listen to them and ran straight into the mountains. She ran fast and disappeared in no time.
"Brother Guangjie, Sister Ying'er, please don't refuse. Today is a special day, so please come to our house for a simple meal." Liu Shihua knew that her sister had made a decision, so she sincerely invited her.
Wang Guangjie thought about it and decided not to refuse anymore. However, he was determined not to go empty-handed, so he gave his younger sister a wink.
The brother and sister had a good understanding. Just one look from the older brother and Wang Guangying knew what he meant. She nodded, went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought two cans of food and a bag of sugar, and then went to the Liu family's house.
Zhang Sumei didn't show any displeasure towards Wang Guangjie and his sister, after all, they were people of status, and she couldn't afford to offend them too much.
Seeing that they hadn't come empty-handed, I was quite pleased and picked two bunches of grapes to treat them.
Her gentle and pleasant demeanor led Liu Shihua to mistakenly believe that her mother had become better, so she happily pushed her father into the yard to chat.
When Liu Shile returned with the pheasants and rabbits, Liu Shixi had already started working, and Zhang Sumei was also helping in the kitchen.
When she saw her return, Zhang Sumei opened her mouth as if to speak, but when she saw what she was holding, she closed her mouth and gently asked her to help in the kitchen as well.
To be fair, Liu Shile is quite good at preparing things. As long as you don't have to cook or do anything, she's pretty reliable.
The shredded potatoes were cut so neatly that they looked as if they had been measured with a ruler; they were all the same size and thickness, making them a pleasure to look at.
But if you asked her to stir-fry some shredded potatoes, it would be a disaster. Zhang Sumei was well aware of this, so she only let her assist and dared not let her do the work herself.
"Lele, where did these wild rabbits and pheasants come from?" Liu Shixi asked curiously. She couldn't possibly do what happened during the New Year, where she bumped into a tree and got knocked out, allowing her younger sister to get the freebies.
Liu Shile lied without batting an eye: "My second brother and I set traps in the mountains a few days ago, and we were lucky today, so we caught this much prey."
Such an answer made Zhang Sumei, who had been listening intently, curl her lip. She wondered what kind of luck they had gotten, that they had stumbled upon such a perfect answer by sheer chance.
"Let's stew a chicken for lunch today and make a braised rabbit. We can eat the rest tonight or tomorrow." Zhang Sumei felt a little heartbroken about having to share the meat with outsiders.
Liu Shile had no objection to this. After all, the rabbits and pheasants were all taken from the farm, each weighing eight or nine pounds, and the pheasants weighing five or six pounds. There was enough for them to eat as much as they wanted.
Liu Shi happily agreed. She was a skilled cook, but sometimes even the most skillful cook can't cook without ingredients. Now that she had the ingredients, it would be strange if she wasn't happy.
While I was happy, I caught a glimpse of my sister processing pheasants and rabbits out of the corner of my eye. She raised an eyebrow, and judging from her skillful manner, it seemed like she did this often.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that when her younger siblings came back, if they went to the mountains, they would bring back some wild game eight out of ten times. Could this be a coincidence?
However, she was clever and didn't ask any questions. She kept these doubts to herself and didn't want her mother to discover these clues.
Wang Guangying, who was not at home in the yard, also came to the kitchen to help, and Zhang Sumei chatted with her with a smile as bright as a flower.
Fortunately, their kitchen was spacious enough that it didn't feel crowded even though several people were busy inside. Before long, they had prepared a table full of delicious dishes while chatting and laughing.
"Guangjie, Guangying, thanks to you for taking care of our Shihua and Lele. Come on, eat more vegetables, don't be shy."
At the dinner table, Zhang Sumei greeted the Wang siblings with a smile, but she didn't serve them any food. She was quite particular about her eating habits.
Wang Guangjie and his sister have visited the Liu family quite often, but they haven't stayed for meals very often, so they're not used to being treated so warmly.
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang say that they were taking care of Shihua and Lele, Wang Guangjie instinctively wanted to refute, but Liu Shihua kicked his leg, so Wang Guangjie changed the subject.
Although they did not admit that they were taking care of Liu Shihua and her brother, they also did not say that Liu Shihua and her brother were taking care of them.
Liu Weisong was in a good mood. It was rare for his family to have such guests, especially since they were his children's friends. If they weren't still minors, Liu Weisong would have liked to have a drink with them.
