Chapter 173 A Love for Farming
After this incident, Zhuang Shi was depressed for a long time, and Xin Nian didn't bother with her anymore.

She didn't believe Zhuang Yafen herself didn't know what her own family was like.

How could anyone entrust their daughter to such a family without any sense of responsibility? They're utterly brainless!
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

Saying they didn't know their family would be so cruel is utterly ridiculous. They've been disliked since childhood, yet they still harbor illusions about these so-called relatives. It's utterly laughable.

If it weren't for the fact that she usually treated Xin Mengxue quite well, and that she was acting like her eyes were glued to the ground, Xin Nian would have really mistakenly thought that Zhuang Yafen was doing it on purpose.

Xin Mengxue, on the other hand, clearly felt that this girl had grown a lot after this incident.

Sometimes, a person can grow up in an instant, and Xin Nian couldn't help but express her feelings.

Xin Nian went to visit Mian Mian, but seeing that her door was locked, she didn't disturb her.

Comrade Xie Ninglan has been diligently studying the black soil these past two days. She discovered that, combined with her wood-type special ability, the growth rate of the black soil can be doubled.

Moreover, as she studied the black soil from left to right, she felt that her wood-type abilities had also increased.

Therefore, as soon as he opened his eyes, he asked his daughter to take her to the farm to work and meditate.

Everyone is busy and has things to do, but Nian Nian is like a street urchin, wandering around everywhere.

While she was idle, she thought of the psychic guy she hadn't dealt with yet, wondering if he had taken the opportunity to run away.

Just then, Xie Rui brought his men over and invited her to go see the underground passage that had been dug in the mansion. Xin Nian realized that the important matter had come up, so she quickly agreed and put aside all the other random things for the time being.

To be precise, this should be a large underground garage, dug in all directions, with several locked iron gates at the front passage.

It has a considerable area and is estimated to contain a wealth of stored supplies.

As long as the food doesn't rot, it shouldn't be a big problem for several hundred people to stay there for ten days to half a month.

Xie Rui explained, "Ahead is a group of city residents who were registered and resettled by the government office and whose homes do not have cellars."

"The most troublesome issue right now is the refugees being taken in by people in the western part of the city."

“If we move all those refugees here, it will definitely take up the living space of ordinary residents.”

"In addition, all officials and their families will be housed here, and with more than 500 people, it will be difficult to sustain food for more than ten days."

Xin Nian reminded him expressionlessly, "Excretion is also a big problem. With so many people, the smells will be mixed together, and if people don't pay attention to hygiene, it will be hard not to get sick."

"If we don't bring the refugees from the west city here, we'll just have to let them find a place to live and fend for themselves."

There was nothing that could be done. The supplies were limited, and the living space was also limited. The Binzhou government could only do its best to save the majority of people.

"The old man did another divination yesterday and even coughed up blood." If his two apprentices hadn't rushed to her for help, the old man would probably be dead!

"If the old man wasn't lying to us, according to him, it should be within the next day or two, so be prepared at any time."

"Move the elderly, weak, women, and children who are slow to move and have little ability to protect themselves inside first."

Xie Rui nodded in agreement.

The two walked around the passage again, mainly checking out several water collection points.

There were guards stationed at the water collection points nearby. Xin Nian secretly tested the water quality with an instrument, and it seemed to be fine for the time being.

Having already been wandering around for over an hour, Xin Nian figured Xie Ninglan was probably about to be ejected from the farm. To avoid startling others, she came out of the basement and made an excuse to go back to her room to rest.

Sure enough, the moment she closed the door to the side room, Xie Ninglan was flung out of the farm. "Time flies so fast, is it already time?" Xie Ninglan's face was full of disbelief.

"Mom, you've been inside for a full thirty hours! How's the harvest?"

Speaking of the watermelon harvest, Xie Ninglan's face was full of smiles. "Quick, girl, get one out quickly, I'll take it over to reward your father."

Xin Nian probed inside and was surprised to see two large piles of watermelons stacked by the melon patch.

She picked up a large, round melon and handed it to her mother, asking, "Have you induced so many births these past two days?"

Xie Ninglan grinned happily, "You bet your mom is amazing! Hahaha!"

"The key is your black soil, it's a real treasure. With my superpower as a supplement, wow, it really grows incredibly fast."

"You didn't see how fast it sprouts and grows leaves; you probably wouldn't believe it if I told you!"

"Haha, once the interval is over, I'll go in and plant a few more batches tonight, and then I can arrange to plant other vegetables."

"Honey, what do you think we should plant next? Do you have corn at your container seed center? How about we plant some corn?"

“Although we still have a lot of corn stored up, everything grown in the black soil has its own energy. We must grow more, especially corn. Isn’t corn your favorite food?” Comrade Xie Ninglan got excited and kept talking.

“Okay!” Xin Nian smiled and pulled her mother back. “You can plant whatever you want, I support you.”

Plant as much as you like, the more the better, no one will complain about having too much grain.

Xie Ninglan looked delighted and tossed the large watermelon in her hand. "Then I'll go find your father first. He's been busy these past two days helping your uncle register the relocation of his family members from various residences. He's been doing a good job, so I'll go and reward him."

Xin Nian hummed in agreement. "Mianmian is still in seclusion, so don't disturb her if she doesn't come out."

"okay."

Xin Nian took out a large watermelon and carried it all the way to the Crown Prince to offer her condolences.

These past few days, Xiao Jinzhi and Chi Jue have been busy with something, and they didn't even see them during dinner last night.

When Xin Nian found the two, she saw Chi Jue holding a small booklet, recording the medicinal herbs delivered by the car.

"Niannian, you've come at the perfect time." Xiao Jinzhi's eyes lit up when he saw her. "I've been searching for various herbs and plants in the mountains near Binzhou these past few days. See if they're of any use to you."

"Huh?" Xin Nian hurriedly stuffed the big watermelon into his arms and ran forward to casually look through the medicinal plants on one of the vehicles.

There are many varieties, and they are very diverse. Some are edible, some are medicinal, and some are both.

Xin Nian looked up and saw dozens of cars lined up at the back gate, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Doctor Zhuang, accompanied by about ten other doctors, rushed forward, sweating profusely. He greeted Xin Nian with delight, saying, "Little Doctor Xin, these are all medicinal herbs and plants that His Highness the Crown Prince and General Chi sent people to search the entire mountain for."

"Most of them are registered, but there are a few that we have never even seen before, and you will need to take a look at them yourself."

"Mmm." Xin Nian felt guilty seeing that they were all covered in sweat.

She was just strolling around aimlessly in the morning, unaware of how hard her employees were working!

"Is it hot?"

"Not bad, not bad." Doctor Zhuang brushed a strand of hair that had fallen in front of his eyes and grinned. "These medicinal herbs are all of very good quality. The people who were sent to dig them up were very meticulous, and the seed preservation is quite complete."

"However, the weather is very hot now. Dr. Xin, what should we do to preserve these properly?"
