Chapter 97 - 97 Glad
97 Glad
After all, Qiao Xuan had pitched in a lot towards the shared properties, and they had taken great advantage of it.
Also, Qiao Xuan was generous enough to offer Shao Junyan and Shao Qing many snacks, and she even told them not to let their father-in-law know in case he would ask them to share those with the second and the third section of the family.
Ms. Xu was very grateful to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan said with a smile, “There are no rules, but start planting from this spot and don’t put them too close to each other. Veins won’t grow properly then.”
They did not need to put them too neatly.
Also, she was not very good at planting herself.
Ms. Xu and the others were a bit surprised.
Ms. Xu could not help but say, “But… isn’t that too casual? We need to have rules for planting crops, this is just too…”
“Elder Sister-in-law, just do as she says, it will be fine.” Shao Yunduan said.
It was her yard and she could do whatever she wanted and however she wanted, as long as she was happy.
Ms. Xu was about to say something but eventually let out a small okay. Her sister-in-law was too relaxed in crop planting, so was her brother-in-law who just let her do whatever she wanted.
Qiao Xuan smiled at Shao Yunduan and said, “Let’s start it now!”
“Okay!”
The planting went on fast with some earth digging, some seed burying, some earth covering and some watering. That was it!
Soon, the land was filled with casually-planted melon seeds.
But the seeds looked withered, and were displayed in an unruly manner. They looked so sad.
Ms. Xu could not help but shake her head. “Can they really grow?” She was really doubtful!
Ms. Xu could not help but feel a little speechless seeing Qiao Xuan smiling at those withering seeds.
Anyway, as long as it pleased her…
Ms. Xu was not aware that she had subconsciously started to think differently from before.
When the melons were put down, they all walked out of the yard.
Shao Yunduan glanced at the fruit trees and grapes in the yard, saying with a smile. “Those trees are growing well!”
That surprised him as well.
Shao Xiaoqi smiled. “True, look at the persimmons, peaches and pears. They are all lush, and the fruits will be available in a couple of months!”
“And bayberries too.” Shao Taotao could not help but drool at the thought. “They are turning red.”
“True!”
Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Yes, I know I have spotted the right place. We will have endless fruits to eat!”
Early next morning, Qiao Xuan paid a visit to the flower field at the entrance of the village.
Everything was growing well.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, pomegranate flowers, Chinese roses, and ordinary roses would all start to bloom in large proportions. At that time, the petals would be picked and smashed to extract the flower juice. Then some almonds would be bought, almond oil would be abstracted, and beeswax would be mixed in it for making lipstick.
She could see that she had more than 2,000 lipsticks in hand. Soon, she was going to become a very rich woman!
Satisfied, Qiao Xuan put in more superpower into the field, so that the flowers grew faster, stems became stronger and leaves flourished. The twigs needed to grow faster and higher, whilst the blooms should ripen early and become bigger…
Qiao Xuan did not stop sending in the superpower until a while later.
All the flowers were growing well, and when they grew so well, no one would notice the real reason for it, which made the process reasonable.
That was why she had fenced the field. She did not want the outsiders to learn the truth. She was waiting for a contrast.
