"I want to dig a pond."
Xu Xingchen said something out of the blue, but Jun Haoyue didn't find it strange. He just smiled and said, "Why did you think of digging a pond again?"
"Crops often suffer from pests, droughts, and other disasters, but fish ponds are relatively safer. If the crops are destroyed one day, we have a way out. What's more..."
Xu Xingchen paused and said nothing more. Besides, on her home planet, she was a real southerner, and the things her family had the most were fish ponds and the like. She came here with the intention of cultivating good crops, but she forgot about this.
"I'll help you."
Jun Haoyue walked up to Xu Xingchen and looked at her with sparkling eyes. Xu Xingchen blushed unconsciously and turned around uncomfortably.
"You are truly a talented person with great potential. You have one good idea after another. As long as you ask, I will help you with anything. But there is one thing..." Jun Haoyue said, turning his body and looking at Xu Xingchen's blushing cheeks with a smile, and then continued: "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me. Even if you achieve great things in the future, you must always think of me."
"Even if I don't do anything great, I still think of you."
Xu Xingchen muttered something in a low voice. She thought Jun Haoyue didn't hear her, so she turned on her computer and started searching for a place to dig a pond. She didn't notice that the smile on Jun Haoyue's face was getting more intense.
The computer quickly drew several locations for Xu Xingchen. Xu Xingchen inspected them one by one and finally decided to dig in the stone ground in front of the door. Firstly, the land had been idle, and secondly, it was close to home, so she could take care of it.
Digging a pond sounds easy, but it is a big project. The direction, water inlet and outlet, slope ratio, stem width, etc. must be carefully planned, otherwise you will have to redo the work after digging.
After Xu Xingchen wasted page after page of drawings, she finally drew the design. She looked at the design in front of her with satisfaction. She was indeed a genius and could do a little bit of everything.
Then Xu Xingchen turned on her light brain and started shopping across planets. She bought all kinds of chisels, shovels, spades and pickaxes. The thing that annoyed her most now was that she didn't learn to drive an excavator back then, otherwise she could have bought an excavator across planets now.
When preparing to dig, Xu Xingchen started to have trouble again, because moving stones was really a torturous task. Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue moved stones for a whole morning, but they only made a little space, and Xu Xingchen's hands were rubbed with two blisters.
"Don't move this afternoon. Let me do it."
Jun Haoyue helped Xu Xingchen prick the blood blisters one by one, then carefully applied medicine and bandaged them. He looked extremely serious while doing this, with heartache in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'm not that delicate."
Xu Xingchen lowered her head. Such an intimate action made her feel a little shy. She wanted to pull her hand out of Jun Haoyue's hand, but he held it too tightly. Xu Xingchen struggled a few times and then gave up.
She suddenly remembered that this was not the first time Jun Haoyue had applied medicine to her. The long-lost memory now appeared extremely clearly in Xu Xingchen's mind. It turned out that they had been with each other for such a long time without realizing it.
In the afternoon, Xu Xingchen sat aside to rest at Jun Haoyue's strict request. Xu Xingchen leaned against a big tree with half-closed eyes, watching Jun Haoyue grunting as he moved stones.
Xu Xingchen's eyes moved from Jun Haoyue's hair crown to her slightly muddy shoes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really beautiful..."
"Bright Moon!"
A sharp female voice sounded, interrupting Xu Xingchen's reverie. Her temples throbbed twice. She was very familiar with this voice. Sure enough, in just a moment, Zhang Xiaochun came into her sight, standing next to Jun Haoyue.
"Haoyue, how can you do such rough work? This Xu Xingchen is the same. She bullies you just because you are her brother!"
Zhang Xiaochun's voice was exaggerated and artificial, which gave Xu Xingchen a headache.
Jun Haoyue ignored Zhang Xiaochun and continued moving stones by himself, his lips tightly pursed together, not even looking at Zhang Xiaochun.
"Let me help you move all the stones. If you move all the stones by yourself, it will probably take you three days to finish."
Zhang Xiaochun started to help. She started by picking up some small stones to move. Seeing that Jun Haoyue had been ignoring her, she became anxious. In order to show off in front of Jun Haoyue, she actually moved a large stone that was about 30 to 40 centimeters high. After finally lifting it, her face had turned as red as pig blood, shining brightly in the sun.
Then she grinned and looked at Jun Haoyue proudly, but Jun Haoyue still ignored her. Zhang Xiaochun was so angry that she was about to stomp her feet, but just as she raised her leg, she slipped on the pebbles on the ground and fell straight back.
Xu Xingchen quickly stood up. If she really fell down, the huge rock would definitely smash Zhang Xiaochun's internal organs. However, she was far away and there was no time to save him. In a hurry, Xu Xingchen hurriedly called out "Jun Haoyue!"
Jun Haoyue turned around when he heard the voice. Xu Xingchen gestured to him and asked him to look at Zhang Xiaochun. But when he turned around, he saw that Zhang Xiaochun had been supported by Chen Pi.
Xu Xingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Chen Pi, otherwise Zhang Xiaochun might not even have been able to save his life this time.
After this incident, Zhang Xiaochun was extremely scared. She half-knelt on the ground and took a few breaths before she calmed down. After realizing that Chen Pi's hand was still on her arm, her face changed immediately, "You Chen Pi, why are you following me secretly?" As she said that, she glanced at Jun Haoyue secretly, as if she was afraid that Jun Haoyue would be angry after discovering her and Chen Pi's intimate behavior.
"Who followed you? I just happened to pass by and saved your life. You are just a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know how to appreciate a good person!"
Zhang Xiaochun knew that he had just been indebted to Chen Pi, but he still looked unconvinced. He pouted and said, "I don't care. You just followed me. If you help Haoyue move these stones, I will forgive you."
"you……"
Chen Pi looked at Zhang Xiaochun in disbelief, but Zhang Xiaochun just jerked his neck and swayed his body, saying, "If you don't move, I'll tell everyone you're following me!"
"Move, move, move."
Chen Pi said as he moved the stone. Zhang Xiaochun turned around proudly and saw Xu Xingchen under the tree. Her tone changed slightly, and Xu Xingchen smiled and shouted "thank you".
By the evening, all the stones had been moved away. Xu Xingchen went up to say a few words of thanks and give them some rewards. When she approached, Chen Pi and Zhang Xiaochun had already started arguing.
"Well, I'm doing this for you. Don't you want to thank me?"
Zhang Xiaochun glared at Chen Pi with disdain. "You did the work for me, and that's what you were supposed to do. Who should thank you?"
Chen Pi was extremely angry and shouted angrily: "Let's go to the village chief to seek justice!"
"Let's go!"
…
Xu Xingchen looked at the two people who left after arguing, feeling quite helpless.
Xu Xingchen wiped the sweat from Jun Haoyue's forehead. Just as they were about to go home, a few words suddenly entered Xu Xingchen's ears, "Wang Muling's crops are growing very fast."
"I heard about it too. It's truly a miracle."
