After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 109 Not Spying on Purpose
Long Wu put on the gloves, smiled at Jian Ning, and loudly replied, "Okay!"

She has a naturally sensitive personality, and even though she is friends with Ningning, she feels embarrassed to keep a boisterous dog here.

Ningning asked her to husk corn, probably to make her feel like she had helped and wouldn't feel embarrassed, thus easing her emotions.

Jian Ning really didn't know that Long Wu had this idea.

She just felt that she had nothing to do today, and the weather was nice, so it would be a waste not to do some work.

Just like on a sunny day, you always feel the need to air out your blankets.

Picking corn wasn't a hard task for her; it was actually quite fun.

When I was a child, my family raised pigs, and my grandmother grew a lot of corn.

When harvest season arrives, the corn needs to be picked by hand.

Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt all pitched in. When she was still very young, they would help by handing her baskets or picking some corn from the bottom of the cob.

As she grew up, her family stopped raising pigs, and she spent less time at home while studying.

The scene of burying myself in picking corn, sweating profusely, has become a cocoon in my memory.

Humans are strange creatures; they always subconsciously seek out familiar things from their memories, and then feel a strange sense of security enveloped by those memories, making them feel comfortable all over.

In the cornfield.

Jian Ning picked corn with ease.

After cultivating immortality, her physical fitness improved significantly, and with the added bonus of a 5% increase in physical strength from completing tasks, everything became much easier than before.

Long Wu, standing to the side, held an ear of corn in both hands, spinning it around and around several times. Even with a strong pull, she couldn't tear the corn off.

Not only did he fail to pick the corn, but he also strained so hard that his face turned completely red.

Seeing how much effort she was putting in, Jian Ning went over and offered some guidance.

Long Wu listened attentively to Jian Ning's instruction on how to husk corn, and watched as Jian Ning easily husked off several ears. She then tried to hold the stalk with one hand and use her other hand to skillfully husk the corn in the right spot.

With a crisp snap, an ear of corn was successfully broken off.

Holding up the corn, Long Wu exclaimed excitedly as if she had won a big prize, "Ningning, I broke it! I finally managed to break the corn!"

A sense of maternal pride welled up in Jian Ning's heart. She gave her a thumbs up and praised her, "Xiao Wu, you're amazing."

Long Wu asked, "Ningning, can I take a picture of us picking corn and post it on my WeChat Moments?"

After all, this cornfield is located in Huayue Villa, on Ningning's territory.

She was afraid Ningning would be unhappy if she sent it out without permission.

Jian Ning replied with an indifferent expression, "Of course you can, send it whenever you want."

After Jian Ning gave her permission, Long Wu posted a picture of herself picking corn on her WeChat Moments.

Several pictures of corn and cornfields, and one of himself wearing gloves and making a peace sign.

Text: I've successfully learned how to husk corn; I'm awesome!

Just a few minutes after posting on WeChat Moments, Long Wu received a message from her aunt.

"Xiao Wu, did you go to Huayue Manor? This corn looks really good. I don't think there's any corn in the vegetable blind boxes from the Farming Sect. Could you buy some for your aunt?"

Long Wu saw the message about ten minutes later, during the break from picking corn.

She replied, "Auntie, didn't I just bring you some vegetables a few days ago?"

Aunt: "Vegetables are vegetables, but I also want some corn. Could you ask around for me? We can discuss the price."

Long Wu: "..."

She had no choice but to ask Ningning if she could sell some of the corn to her aunt.

Jian Ning readily agreed: "Of course."

As for the price, Jian Ning said it should be five yuan a cob, based on the market price. Long Wu vehemently disagreed, saying that the corn in the pork rib soup that day was so delicious. Picking corn herself was such a chore, it should at least double to ten yuan a cob.

There are plenty of corn cobs outside that cost ten yuan a piece.

The price of relatively good quality corn in a normal supermarket is about the same.

So, all the corn that the two of them picked today was bought up by Longwu's aunt.

After picking corn on and off for two hours, Long Wu's arms were sore.

However, the feeling of burying yourself in picking corn and sweating all over is particularly enjoyable.

The two returned to the villa. Long Wu took a hot shower in the bathroom on the first floor. Since she hadn't brought any clean clothes, she put on Jian Ning's clothes.

When Long Wu finished showering and dried her hair, Jian Ning had already prepared dinner.

The two people sat at the dining table.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Long Wu picked up her chopsticks and said, "I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Jian Ning looked at her as if she were a child and smiled, "Eat up."

Just then, Jian Ning's phone, which was on the table, rang.

Long Wu wasn't peeking on purpose; she just heard her phone ring and her eyes glanced over instinctively, only to see the three words "Xiao Heqi" on the screen.

If it's not something urgent, Jian Ning usually won't answer the phone while eating.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

She put her phone on silent and then placed the screen face down on the table.

Long Wu took a bite of fish, patiently nibbling at the bones, and after a while, she finally spoke, "It sounds like it's Xiao Heqi calling? Aren't you really going to answer?"

That's the president of Yichen Technology, someone so many people want to curry favor with but can't find a way to do so.

Jian Ning said in a normal, serious tone, "I want to eat first."

After all, people in Wuhu have a saying ingrained in their bones: "Food doesn't taste good when it gets cold."

Long Wu stopped there and instead asked, "By the way, Ningning, are you going back to Wushi for the New Year?"

Jian Ning replied, "Yes."

Long Wu said, "If you need someone to look after your manor, I'm in Beicheng anyway, so just contact me if you need anything."

“Okay.” Jian Ning nodded. “The New Year is still a few months away.”

“That’s true.” Long Wu smiled. “I heard from Nan Nan that you’re from Wushi. There are many scenic spots in Wushi, and there’s also a restricted area called Dark Prison Mountain. It seems that ordinary people are not advised to go there. I read online that it looks quite scary.”

Jian Ning hummed in agreement and said, "I'm from Wushi. My hometown is quite close to Dark Prison Mountain. Actually, it's not as mysterious as people say online. It's just a primeval forest, so it's rich in flora and fauna and has wild beasts, so people generally don't go in."

Long Wu recalled, "My parents have always wanted to travel to Wuhu."

Jian Ning offered, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll be your guide. I know that area quite well."

Long Wu responded, "Okay."

After dinner, it was already dark outside.

Long Wu told her parents and then stayed at the villa.

After Jian Ning finished her shower, she transformed the little soybean into a big soybean. One of them helped her clean the bathroom, and the other helped her blow-dry her hair.

After drying her hair, she picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from Xiao Heqi.

She swiped to the right to connect.

Xiao Heqi's muffled voice came from the other end of the phone: "You finally answered."
