"It was just a trip over a rock. Aunt Wang is now able to stand up. It's not worth it for us villagers to make a fuss about it."
Wang Muling saw that the situation was not right and quickly changed the subject. He put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "I recently developed a special pesticide that can improve the growth of crops in the fields. Why don't you all go to my fields and take a look?"
"Don't brag, no matter how good that crappy thing you developed is, is it better than what Xu Xingchen developed? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself and see what you are?"
Zhang Xiaochun glanced at Wang Muling, adjusted his hair bun artificially, and looked sarcastic.
"Don't put the blame on me just because you didn't marry Jun Haoyue. If you don't believe me, just go to my farm and take a look."
Wang Muling shouted, and the people around who were watching the fun were all eager to go and see how Wang Muling's crops were growing. After all, everyone was afraid of being hungry, and everyone hoped that their own crops would grow better.
"Come on, everyone, go to my place and take a look. I'll distribute the pesticide to everyone then."
As soon as Wang Muling finished speaking, the people around gathered around and followed Wang Muling to the field. Xu Xingchen followed behind with suspicion. She knew very well why the crops in Wang Muling's field suddenly grew taller. She just wondered what kind of pesticide Wang Muling was going to use to deceive everyone.
"What's wrong?" Jun Haoyue saw that Xu Xingchen looked unhappy and asked quickly.
"It's okay." Xu Xingchen said and followed. He wanted to see what was going on in Wang Muling's land.
A group of people went to Wang Muling's land and were surprised to find that the crops in Wang Muling's land were growing very well and were even half a head taller than those in the fields next to it.
"How about just saying that my newly developed pesticide works well?" Wang Muling raised his head proudly.
"Sister Wang, how did you do this? If all the crops grow like this, we will never go hungry again." Zhou Xiaoniang looked at the crops in the field with envy.
"Of course it's the pesticide I developed that works, but it's still in the trial stage. Once the crops are ripe, I'll naturally distribute it to everyone."
Wang Muling glanced at Xu Xingchen as he spoke, his eyes full of provocation.
"You are indeed a top student from the village. Your skills are truly amazing. From now on, everyone in our village will be relying on you."
Seeing that Wang Muling's crops were growing so well, everyone started to flatter her, praising her left and right, and wishing they could praise her to the sky.
"How could that be? I'm naturally no match for Xu Xingchen."
Wang Muling raised his eyebrows as he spoke.
Everyone continued to flatter her for a long time before they dispersed. Aunt Wang was so proud that she even forgot about the stone incident. She kept praising Wang Muling, and while praising her, she did not forget to imply Xu Xingchen.
"Okay, everyone, let's go back. Our Mu Ling will naturally tell everyone about this great idea. She's not like some people who are stingy and hold it in."
Aunt Wang gave Xu Xingchen a cold look as she spoke, then she walked away with her hips twisted, a smug look on her face even from behind. Wang Muling snorted coldly and followed Aunt Wang away.
Xu Xingchen glanced at the crops in the field. There was obviously something wrong with the crops, and it was not due to any special pesticides.
"Xingchen, do you also find something wrong here?" Jun Haoyue also looked at the crops in the field thoughtfully.
"I discovered earlier that Wang Muling was pulling up all the crops in the field. I warned her once, but who knew she would still be so reckless? If she continues like this, this whole field of crops will be ruined."
"It's just a trick to cover up one's own mistakes and harm others and yourself. What are your plans?"
There was a hint of disgust on Jun Haoyue's face when he said this.
"What can I do? It's not my land. Let her do whatever she wants. We can just wait and see what happens."
Xu Xingchen felt annoyed. The people in this village were like useless pieces of mud that could not be helped. They were always causing trouble.
"Xingchen is absolutely right."
Jun Haoyue smiled, and his expression unconsciously showed a bit of doting.
"Stop talking about these useless things. The most important thing right now is how to fill the fish pond with water." Xu Xingchen waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the fish pond. Jun Haoyue hurriedly followed.
The two men stood beside the fish pond and were in a dilemma. The pond was the farthest away from the fish pond, and the nearest pond was outside Wang Muling. If they moved buckets of water one by one to fill the fish pond, they didn't know how long it would take.
“It would be great if we could find groundwater here.”
Xu Xingchen touched his chin and looked at the fish pond he had dug with great effort with a headache.
"We might be able to dig out groundwater here, but the soil here is soft. If we just keep digging for water, I'm afraid the foundation of the fish pond will become unstable."
Jun Haoyue also rubbed his chin like Xu Xingchen, and the two of them looked extremely harmonious standing together.
"So what should we do now? Did we dig this fish pond for nothing?"
Xu Xingchen smacked her lips, thinking that her home planet was still better. This barren place really had nothing. She had lived in technologically advanced places for a long time, but she didn't expect that she would be stumped by the step of carrying water.
“It would be nice if there was a tap.”
Xu Xingchen sighed. She was simply dreaming. How could there be things like water pumps and faucets here?
"If it doesn't work, we'll just have to move it with buckets. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Xu Xingchen turned his head to look at Jun Haoyue, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"The tap is no longer available, but perhaps we can use drainage to divert the water from the pool to the pond. It's not much different from a tap, it just requires more manpower."
Jun Haoyue said thoughtfully.
Xu Xingchen slapped her thigh. Why hadn't she thought of this idea? Her thinking had been solidified by high technology, making her unsuitable for survival in a place like this. Wasn't digging canals a method found in history books?
"You're absolutely right. We can build one ourselves. It's just a small thing, how can it be difficult for me?"
Xu Xingchen grinned. Her fish pond was finally taking shape. Now she just had to build the faucet.
"Let's go home."
Xu Xingchen patted Jun Haoyue on the shoulder, turned around and went home.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jun Haoyue hurriedly followed.
"Of course I'm going to make a faucet. I want to make the first faucet here." Xu Xingchen said as she shook her head proudly. Her eyes sparkled in the sun, and she looked like a little girl. Jun Haoyue couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He was right to come to this place after all.
