Chapter 4 The great cause of planting

In Phoenix Space, Cao Chunyuan is conducting regional planning.

Since she has no planting experience and she doesn’t know the specific effects of Phoenix Space, this time she planned a total of 8 test fields of different sizes.

In the first planning area from left to right, 100 peach trees are planned to be planted. (10 peach saplings were actually planted)

In the second planning area, 100 apple trees are planned to be planted. (10 Red Star Fuji apple saplings are actually planted)

In the third planning area, 100 lychee trees are planned to be planted. (10 Feizixiao lychee saplings were actually planted)

In the fourth planning area, 100 cherry trees are planned to be planted. (10 black pearl cherry/cherry saplings are actually planted)

The fifth planning area is planned to plant 100 grape vines. (Actually, 10 Kyoho grape vines are planted)

In the sixth planning area, a small patch of cantaloupe (Xiangfei melon) is planted.

In the seventh planning area, a small patch of watermelon (Qilin melon) is planted.

In the eighth planning area, a small patch of strawberries is planted. (Red strawberries)

Due to limited funds on hand, Cao Chunyuan could only buy these saplings and seeds at low prices from several merchants in Xinfadi Flower Market through coquettishness and cuteness.

This cost her more than 20 yuan, which made Cao Chunyuan very distressed.

"Huh, fortunately, you only need to use your mind to operate the Phoenix Space. If I were to dig holes and bury them one by one, wouldn't it tire me to death?"

Cao Chunyuan didn't know how long she had been busy. Anyway, after she sowed all the saplings and seeds she bought during the day, she sat down on the ground to rest in a very inconspicuous manner.

"The bosses who sell saplings said that peach, plum, and lychee saplings are all grafted, but the growth cycle is long and it takes three years to bear fruit.

The growth cycle of watermelon is 4-5 months, the growth cycle of cantaloupe is 3-4 months, and the growth cycle of strawberry is 3 months.

However, strawberries are different from watermelons and cantaloupes.

After the strawberry seeds germinate, it will take more than a month to enter the fruiting period. There is a vigorous period after the fruiting period, and strawberries can be continuously produced, which is the fastest way to return money.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to 24 days in space. The cycle from sowing strawberry seeds to the first fruiting is about 30 to 40 days.

Calculated, in the past 1 or 2 days, the first strawberries in the space have matured. After selling the strawberries, I will have a small amount of money."

The more Cao Chunyuan thought about it, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but get 'high' in the space.

Qinglong City, Dazhangzi Township, Liujia Village.

Village chief Yin Zhankui stood outside the gate of Cao's house with a red face, preaching to Cao Chunlong who was standing at the gate holding a sickle in his hand.

"Xiaolong, the outside world is different from what you think. Yanjing is not as good as our Liujia Village. It is the capital. Drinking water costs money. It is not easy for you to get admitted to Yanjing University. After four years of university, you know how much money you have to spend.

How much is it?

It’s not that I look down on you, but your family probably has to borrow money to pay for the trip to Yanjing now, right? Xiaolong, you are not young anymore, you have to think about your future!

Marry your sister."

"Stop talking, I won't use a penny from your Yin family, and my sister won't marry that fool Liu Fu."

Cao Chunlong's eyes were red, and he stared at Yin Zhankui with wide eyes, with a vicious expression, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

He has always been introverted, and his hands holding the sickle were trembling slightly, but facing the powerful man in front of him, he did not take a step back.

"Hey, you kid, how can you talk?"

Liu Fu is Yin Zhankui's brother-in-law. Although Yin Zhankui himself looks down on this intellectually defective guy. But if an outsider, Cao Chunlong, calls Liu Fu a fool in front of him, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?

"Xiaolong, go back to your room and review your homework."

Before Cao Chunlong could reply, Li Xianglan's voice came from behind. Suddenly Cao Chunlong's hand holding the sickle shook, and he looked at Li Xianglan behind him in a panic.

"mom!"

"Didn't you hear me telling you to go back to the house?"

Li Xianglan frowned and looked at Cao Chunlong with an unhappy expression.

"Oh well."

Cao Chunlong's mouth squirmed a few times, thinking that the other party was here to find his sister. But as he spoke, he remembered the crystal droplets of water in the morning light, so he didn't say much and turned back to his house.

"Brothers and sisters, the child is still young and not sensible. As an adult, you will definitely understand better than the child. If we become friends in the future."

When Yin Zhankui saw Li Xianglan come out, his face immediately showed joy, thinking that Li Xianglan came out to negotiate terms with him. Who would have thought that Li Xianglan walked to the door and said only one sentence, then turned around and closed the door, leaving him rejected.

In an instant, Yin Zhankui's smiling face collapsed, and the face with the false smile became as ferocious and terrifying as a wounded carnivorous beast.

"She doesn't like it?

Who does she think she is, Wang Fei?

If it weren't for Chunyuan's outstanding appearance and her hardworking and thrifty housekeeping, would that paralytic Cao Shi'en be worthy of being our in-laws?

Okay, the whole family is shameless, right? Today the feud is settled. I don’t see how you, a poor family, can support your son to go to college. Don’t beg me when you apply for subsidies for poor households at the end of the year!"

When Li Xianglan walked to the door, she heard Yin Zhankui's curse and her shoulders shook inadvertently. She frowned and bit her lower lip with her teeth. But she did not look back and walked straight into the house.

It was mid-morning, but the Cao family's house was a little dark. Only a few rays of sunlight penetrated into the house through the gaps between the window frames and newspapers, illuminating this small, precarious home.

"Yin Zhankui is gone?"

Cao Shien, who was lying on the Kang (rural earth Kang), lifted up the small blanket covering his body and struggled to sit up. But after struggling for a long time, he could only move himself less than 10 centimeters.

"Why are you messing around? Didn't Doctor Wang tell you to lie down and rest?"

Seeing Cao Shien's actions, Li Xianglan quickly walked to the kang, helped Cao Shien up, let him sit up with his back against the wall beside the kang.

"I've been recuperating for several years, why should I just rest for a while? That's what I'll be like for the rest of my life.

It's just, I'm just sorry for you mothers..."

As he spoke, Cao Shien's eyes turned red, and big tears rolled down his thin face and fell on his tattered vest.

As the saying goes, a man doesn't shed tears easily because he hasn't reached the point of sadness.

Six years ago, Cao Shien accidentally fell from the peach tree while pruning the peach tree in his family's contracted field. When he landed, his back hit a stone on the ground, causing spinal nerve damage and losing consciousness in his lower body.

Over the years, Li Xianglan has always taken care of him. Many times, he had thoughts of committing suicide.

But the doctor said that Cao Shien had a certain probability of recovery, and with a devoted wife and three sensible children at home, Cao Shien was reluctant to leave this world.

Even if you live such a miserable life!

"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. If the doctor says there is hope, he will definitely be cured. How can he still lie to us?

Don't say such depressing words, God won't even help us."

When he heard the words "God", Cao Shien shook his head and sighed in self-mockery.

If God really existed, why would he just watch their family suffer?

"I don't know what Erni is doing, whether she has food to eat, and whether she has a place to live."

Seeing Cao Shi'en mention Cao Chunyuan, Li Xianglan's eyes turned red, and she choked with sobs and said: "Er Ni is a smart child. If it weren't for this family, she would have been able to get into a good university.

Yanjing is a big city, and I heard from the village head Aunt Zhang that her niece can earn 200 yuan a month washing dishes at the Yanjing Hotel. Ernie is pretty and so capable, so she will be fine."

"Oh, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, how could this nice home be like this!"

"Why did you start again? It's okay. Everything will be fine."

Seeing that Cao Shi'en started to feel sorry for himself again, Li Xianglan hurriedly sat by the kang to comfort Cao Shi'en.
