After Xu Han fed Koukou and coaxed him to sleep, she went to help with the planting.
Grandma Qiao had already been shocked into calmness by her changes. Seeing Xu Han's curious, excited expression, she let her do as she pleased.
It took the two of them two days to finish the entire vegetable garden. Seeing it completely renewed, with freshly turned black soil covering seeds that would break through the ground in a few days, Xu Han felt deeply accomplished.
Thinking of the lush green vegetables that would soon grow here made her especially satisfied.
Their yard was so large; leaving it completely bare would be a waste. Xu Han decided to redesign it, planting flowers and trees to turn it into a little garden.
Several days passed in a row, and Xu Han was thoroughly at ease.
The mountains and water here were beautiful, the air was fresh, and the food was even more delicious. Even an ordinary stir-fried cabbage tasted fresher and sweeter than the ones in the city.
City cabbages grown with fertilizer were rather tough, while the cabbages here were crisp and naturally sweet. Stir-fried casually in an iron wok over a wood fire, even someone like Xu Han, who had never liked cabbage before, could eat nearly half a basinful.
Xu Han spent another thousand yuan to have an internet cable installed at their home, so they now had Wi-Fi.
The only drawback was that shopping was inconvenient. There was only one little store in the village, and not only did it carry few goods, many of them were expired!
Many villagers could not read and did not know how to check production dates. Xu Han had no idea whether eating those expired foods had caused them any health problems.
Xu Han sighed. Those merchants were truly unscrupulous.
That day, Xu Han held Koukou, who was full and content but refused to sleep, and paced around the yard. Koukou had recently unlocked a new skill—drooling.
Whenever he stared longingly at somewhere for a while, drool would run down his chin, making Xu Han seriously suspect that he was imagining something tasty.
Xu Han gently wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and softly said, "Little Scamp!"
Little Scamp slowly shifted his gaze to her face and broke into a smile. Though Grandma Qiao had told her that babies' smiles during their first three months were unconscious, Xu Han was still delighted.
She gently held his little paw and kissed it. Koukou's tiny hand immediately gripped her finger tightly. Though he was still so small, he was surprisingly strong; she had to use a little force to pull her finger free from his grasp.
Xu Han played with Koukou for a while. He was still little and loved to sleep, so he soon fell asleep. Xu Han continued pacing with him for a while, then caught sight of a fresh clump of weeds growing in one corner of the yard, which had been cleared spotless of weeds.
That clump was tender and green, a vibrant little patch. Compared to the nearby weeds that had only just sprouted, it stood out like a crane among chickens.
Xu Han was puzzled. Why had this grass grown so quickly? It had only been a few days.
With too much time on her hands, Xu Han laid Koukou on the bed after he fell asleep, then came back out and crouched before the clump of weeds. She had majored in bioengineering in college and knew a fair bit about plants.
The grass before her was ordinary weed grass found everywhere, no different in variety from the ones beside it. But why were those nearby still only sprouting, while this one had already grown so well?
Could this patch of land be especially fertile?
But fertilizer was not a growth stimulant. How could grass grow this tall in just a few days? That was far too unscientific.
As Xu Han puzzled over the clump of grass, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind. She remembered that on the day the weeds had been cleared from the yard, she had held Koukou out here to pee!
The location... seemed to be around here.
Xu Han abruptly lowered her head to look at the clump. Sure enough, its growth pattern was irregular and vaguely oval-shaped, which rather matched the shape of Koukou's urine.
A bold guess suddenly formed in her heart.
Although that guess was utterly unscientific, being transported into the world of a novel was already so unscientific. What could possibly be more unscientific than that?
To verify her suspicion, after Koukou woke up, Xu Han deliberately took him to another corner of the yard where many weed sprouts had emerged, held him out to pee there, and marked the spot.
The next day, Xu Han went to take a look. Sure enough, the grass watered by Koukou's urine had grown much taller than the others.
It had only been one night, yet the difference was obvious!
Once she confirmed it was neither her eyesight nor wishful thinking, Xu Han excitedly rushed into the house and showered the sleeping little villain with kisses!
"Baby, you're incredible! I never expected you to have such an overpowered skill."
Unable to bear the disturbance, Koukou slowly woke up. Before doing anything else, he let out a wail. Xu Han had brought this upon herself, so she hurriedly bent down, picked him up, and soothed him.
Having discovered this secret, Xu Han became even more confident about growing vegetables.
That day, Grandma Qiao dug up some wild vegetables from the fields to make dumplings. Xu Han was in charge of chopping the filling while Grandma Qiao kneaded the dough. Just as Xu Han chopped away, making the cutting board ring, she heard someone call from outside, "Qiao Wanqing, is Qiao Wanqing home? Someone's looking for you."
Xu Han did not pay attention and walked out with the knife still in her hand.
Author's note:
Heh! You didn't expect this cheat, did you?
Farmyard manure is the finest fertilizer, hehehe~ Determined to become the oddball of farming novels.
Spirit Urine Boy
Ever since Xu Han returned here, aside from villagers coming to gawk at her as a great beauty, hardly anyone had come looking for her.
Just as she wondered who it might be, she looked up and saw the tall figure standing at the entrance to their yard. She froze at once.
Gu Yanqing?!
Holy shit! Xu Han blinked involuntarily, suspecting she was seeing things.
Hadn't the book said that Qiao Wanqing would never have another chance to meet Gu Yanqing? What was this man doing standing before her now?
Could it be that, because she was a supporting character and the story had not gone into detail, this part of the plot had simply been skipped over?
Seeing her come out carrying a knife, looking every bit like a fierce woman, Gu Yanqing was clearly taken aback as well. The two simply stared at each other.
The man who had led Gu Yanqing here, Uncle Wang from the village entrance, smiled and said, "Making dinner? This gentleman said he was looking for you, so I brought him over. Is he a relative or friend of yours?"
