Chapter Eight First Meeting with Zuo Qing's Mother and Daughter
"Sacred Power Fruit Tree Young Plant: Unblocking requires 100,000 calories of energy. The price of a young plant is 100,000 gold coins. It has a maturity period of 50 years and can bear 50 fruits."
"Stone Skin Fruit Young Plant: Unsealing requires 100,000 calories of energy. The price of a young plant is 100,000 gold coins. It has a maturity period of 50 years and can bear 50 fruits."
For the current Xu Yang, buying these two sacred trees after the lockdown will allow him to instantly return to before liberation. However, for the safety of himself and his family in the future, Xu Yang still gritted his teeth and bought one of each.
.
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After planting two sacred saplings, Xu Yang followed Zhinao's instructions and went to fetch energy water to water the saplings himself.
"Xu Yang, if these two sacred saplings want to grow, they will inevitably absorb a lot of energy in the secret realm, so you have to be mentally prepared that the speed of transforming the land may slow down significantly. And you have to water the saplings with energy water every day.
"
The saplings have just been planted, and Zhinao has already begun to vaccinate Xu Yang.
"Two vampire trees! You will definitely become paupers now. If you don't bear fruit that satisfies me, I will chop you down and use them as firewood."
The saplings swaying in the wind have absorbed the energy in the secret realm at a speed visible to the naked eye, Xu Yang murmured with a grimace.
Back in the office, Xu Yang opened the secret ledger and saw, as expected, that there was already a fiscal deficit.
I saw that most of the energy recorded in the ledger went to the two sacred tree saplings, and only a small part of the energy was used to transform the land.
"The current income from the fields can barely supply the consumption of the sacred tree. Now we can only rely on the fish in the lake and the chickens and ducks in the shack. Otherwise, how can we dare to plant other special plants in the future."
Xu Yang shook his head and left the secret realm with a bitter smile.
In the south, rice transplanting has begun in May, and the rice seedlings are much stronger than ordinary rice seedlings.
Because Xu Yang didn't know how to plant rice seedlings, he asked his uncle's cousin, cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law and cousin-in-law to help him.
"Yangzi, you and your sister are responsible for pulling out the seedlings, then tying them one by one with a rope and throwing them behind you. We will plant the seedlings behind."
My eldest cousin Lin Jianwei told me.
"Okay, got it, cousin."
Xu Yang has never been to the fields since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't know how to work in the fields, but fortunately, these relatives are all good at work.
I saw my cousin Lin Jianqin bending down, reaching the root of the seedling with her right hand, and then quickly pulled it up and put it on her left hand. After going back and forth a few times, she picked up a rope and wrapped it around the seedling a few times and gently pulled it. A bundle of seedlings was ready.
Then, she gently threw the seedlings into the paddy field behind her, waiting for others to come and transplant them.
Xu Yang learned how to pull out and bundle seedlings while watching his cousin Lin Jianqin's movements. Soon he got started. Although he was not as proficient as others, he had already made some progress.
The five people divided the work and cooperated, and by about 11 a.m., the paddy field of more than an acre was filled with seedlings.
"Finally done, let's go home!"
Xu Yang stretched his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted everyone to go home.
When I got home, I found out that my mother, Lin Xiuhan, had taken my grandfather Nainai to the hospital for a physical examination, and she hadn't come back yet.
"Cousin, please wash up and sit down for a while. I will cook and try my cooking later. You will definitely not be disappointed."
Xu Yang smiled and told the truth that there was special rice and vegetables produced in the secret place, and it would not be any worse if you cooked them casually.
There began to be a sound of banging pots and pans in the kitchen, and soon the smell of rice and cooking began to be heard.
"Brother, you all come down for dinner!"
Xu Yang washed his hands and greeted everyone who was resting upstairs.
"It smells so good, Yangzi, as expected of a chef. Stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried green vegetables, stewed chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried green beans, braised bamboo shoots in oil and a tomato and egg soup. I made a delicious table in such a short time
That’s right. Much better than your cousin!”
Cousin-in-law Jin Caihua just opened the door and came in, she let out a burst of praise, and then rolled her eyes at Lin Jianwei beside her.
"Haha! I can't cook, that's why you show your importance in the family."
Lin Jianwei smiled to please his wife, but received another round of eye rolls.
"Yangzi, my aunt said that she won't be able to come back soon, and she has to accompany your grandpa Nainai to continue his physical examination. Let us eat first."
Cousin Lin Jianqin just finished a phone call with Xu Yang's mother, so she wanted to inform Xu Yang.
"They haven't eaten yet. I'll send some food over. The food near the hospital is unhygienic. Brother, sister, you eat first. I'll be right back!"
Xu Yang said as he packed three boxes of food, packed them in bags and drove to the hospital.
It only takes ten minutes to drive to the county hospital, and we will be there in a short time.
Xu Yang called his mother and hurried over after getting the specific location. Xu Yang's grandfather Nainai was already checking the last item, and Lin Xiuhan was waiting on the bench outside the door.
"Mom, how was Grandpa Nainai's physical examination?"
Xu Yang asked as he put the lunch box on the bench.
"It's almost ready. I'm going to go home later. Why did you bring the food? There are still guests at home."
Lin Xiuhan blamed her, but in her heart she was very pleased with her son's filial piety.
"The food next to the hospital is not good. Grandpa Nainai needs a blood test. He didn't eat anything in the morning. It's not good to be hungry for a long time. Besides, cousins and cousins are not outsiders. Just let them eat first."
Xu Yang said as he opened a box of lunch and handed it to his mother.
As soon as the lunch box was opened, the air was immediately filled with the aroma of food, which was so unique in the corridor full of potions.
"Mom, I'm hungry!"
A little girl's pitiful voice sounded.
Xu Yang turned around and saw a mother and daughter sitting on the bench next to her. The little girl had a ponytail with a bow tied on it and was wearing a small skirt. She was only about 5 or 6 years old.
The mother is very young, younger than Xu Yang, about 25 or 6 years old. She has long, smooth hair draped over her shoulders. She wears a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, and her chest is tall and has a pair of peaks under the shirt.
, and a pair of light blue jeans on her lower body tightly wrapped her long legs, but there was a sadness on her face.
"Be good, Mengmeng. We will go to eat in a while. Just bear with it for a while."
The young mother comforted her daughter helplessly.
"Then we'll go eat rice later! Gu."
The little girl agreed obediently, but couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in her little throat. Her big bright eyes glanced at the lunch box in Lin Xiuhan's hand from time to time.
"This lunch box is for your daughter. It doesn't matter if we adults are hungry, but don't starve the children."
Lin Xiuhan handed the lunch box in her hand to the little girl's mother.
"Why are you so embarrassed? The food was given to us, so it's not like you have nothing to eat."
The young woman declined quickly.
"I'll go home in a while. Besides, I'm very full in the morning and I'm not hungry yet. I originally planned to eat when I get home, but my son was afraid that his grandpa would be hungry and insisted on sending food over, so you're welcome.
"
Lin Xiuhan stuffed the lunch box into the young woman's hand and explained with a smile.
"My name is Zuo Qing, and this is my daughter Zuo Meng. This child is in poor health and often gets sick. Today I took her for a comprehensive physical examination. She hasn't eaten yet. Thank you. I don't know how much it will cost?
"
As the young woman explained, she went to take out her wallet.
"What are you doing? I am feeding my children. They are home-cooked meals. You can eat them if you like. Why do you need to pay for them?"
Lin Xiuhan pretended to be angry and pushed back the money handed over by Zuo Qing. The child had her mother's surname, and the child's father did not come with her for a checkup. She was probably a divorced young woman. So Lin Xiuhan wanted to help the couple even more.
Mother and daughter.
"Auntie, and this big brother, I really don't know how to thank you. You are all good people."
Zuo Qing said gratefully.
"Mom, it's so delicious, come and eat it too!"
Little Zuo Meng took the spoon and put the rice into her mouth vigorously, but she did not forget to share the meal with her mother. It seemed that the box of rice was the most delicious thing in the world.
"Look at this kid, he doesn't know how to say thank you to nainai and uncle!"
Zuo Qing touched his daughter's little head and said lovingly.
"Thank you nainai, thank you uncle! Uncle, did you cook it? It's so delicious! It's the best meal Mengmeng has ever eaten. Well, mom's cooking is also delicious! Can Mengmeng still eat it in the future?
What did you cook?"
When the little girl praised Xu Yang, she did not forget to include her mother.
