Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not st*pid enough to explain that it was not wild.
Otherwise, everyone would definitely find it strange that the seedlings on these few acres of wasteland were growing so well. Now that everyone thought so, they naturally did not find it odd, and even thought that it was natural.
Many people in the village even thought that it would be strange if wild seeds like these didn’t grow well.
They then went to the other few acres of land at home to take a look. The cotton, corn, and sorghum were also growing very well. Everyone thought that it was because of the great care the Xue family put into their farming. The growth of the peanuts and sesame was much worse. No matter how good the harvest was, it would not be much better.
After checking onto these, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan came to the foot of the mountain, pretending to see if there were any beautiful weeds and flowers to dig up and plant at home.
When no one was looking, Jiang Yue took out the strong seedlings that she had cultivated from the medium.
They were not any special flowers or plants. They were all planted by many farmers in their homes, such as nail flowers, cockscomb flowers, canna flowers, chrysanthemums, and daffodils.
Daffodils had more strong seedlings because when they didn’t bloom, they only looked like grass. If they were planted in the corner of the wall or at the entrance of the yard, they could add a lot of greenery.
“Let’s plant these for now,” Jiang Yue said as she placed the strong seedlings into the basket. “When the big house is built, we can plant some flowers and plants in the big house.”
At that time, she would definitely have to plant some flowers and plants that very few farmers knew how to plant.
Xue Yan nodded without any objection.
Jiang Yue thought of the strawberries in her space as she placed the strong seedlings down. However, the water in the ditch at the foot of the mountain was not very clean, so it was not suitable for washing the strawberries. She picked a leaf from the tree next to her.
She didn’t know what tree it was, but its leaves were huge.
“Why are you taking this off?” Xue Yan didn’t understand.
“You’ll know later. Come on, let’s go back… To the river,” she added after a pause.
Xue Yan didn’t ask why they were going to the river. She said she would know later, so it should be about this. He answered, “Okay.”
The two of them did not return to the village but went straight to the river.
The river they came from wasn’t far from the village, and they could enter the village with just a few more steps.
It was also Jiang Yue who saw a few big willow trees first. The willow trees were green and their branches drooped down. There was a lot of shade for one to sit under and avoid the sun.
Moreover, there was no one here.
It was not like the river behind their house. Although it was the same river, there were people washing things from time to time. It was not good to let others see her strawberries for the time being.
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the thin willow branches to sway.
There were a few stones under the weeping willow.
There were rice fields not far away. Sometimes, when everyone was tired from working in the fields, those who were close to the willow trees would come to rest under them. They even put stones for them to sit on.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t hurry to sit down. The moment Jiang Yue arrived under the willow tree and saw Xue Yan put down his basket, she handed him the big piece of leaf.
Xue Yan took it and roughly understood that she wanted him to hold it, so he opened both his hands.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yue really thought that he was smart.
Jiang Yue’s hands were so small that she could only pick up the strawberries in several batches. The strawberries were quite big, so she took out three first.
Three was the largest amount she could hold in one hand. Any more and she would not be able to hold it.
Xue Yan saw three red fruits appear in her hand out of thin air. The fruits were uneven, with many black spots on them, a bit like the surface of a strawberry.
