Chapter 52 You Come and She Leaves, You Chase Her and She's Not There

After opening it, there were a few crystal sugar cubes inside.

He shared it with Shen Ningning. The little guy took one and tasted it, and was immediately captured by the sweet taste.

"So sweet!" She widened Hei Lingling's eyes.

Deng Fugui said proudly: "This is loquat candy. My loquat tree used to grow best. The fruits were so big and round that I couldn't finish them."

"My mother will boil all the loquats into candy cubes. If you like, I'll give them to you."

"It's too dry now and the loquat trees can't survive. If my family can plant them again in the future, I'll leave all the loquat candies made by my mother to you."

Shen Ningning listened to his words, but looked at the candy cubes with her big and smart eyes.

She remembered that grandma had said it before.

The land in Xiangyun Village is actually not fertile. When there is no drought, every household mainly makes a living by growing and selling loquats.

Because loquat trees are drought-tolerant and like direct sunlight, they survive easily.

If taken care of well, it will bear a lot of fruit from March to July.

At this time, Grandma Qin, the old village chief, and the villagers were talking and walking in their direction.

Shen Ningning's eyes lit up and she ran over: "Grandpa Village Chief! I have a proposal!"

The old village chief knelt down and said, "Good Ningning, what's wrong?"

"Since everyone is about to start farming, how about we plant loquat trees again?"

"Loquats can be used as medicine, can be made into sugar, and can also quench thirst! They are drought-resistant and have a high chance of survival!"

In this way, if everyone encounters a day without food, they will not be unable to survive.

If we plant sorghum, I'm afraid the weather will be too dry and it will be a waste of time.

Even if it stores water, how long can it last?

The old village chief was stunned when he heard this.

The villagers all agreed.

After all, growing loquats is not difficult for every household.

But the old village chief sighed.

"Ning Ning, let me show you something." He walked into the room.

After a while, I came out with a veil on my hand.

What was inside were all small, shriveled seeds.

The old village chief frowned helplessly: "After the severe drought, large tracts of loquat trees in our village died."

"Even the seeds are shriveled and withered, so they are of no use at all. Why doesn't grandpa want to plant loquat trees?"

Compared with normal food crops, they are more familiar with loquat trees and know how to take care of them and feed them easily.

But Shen Ningning just lowered her long eyelashes and glanced.

Then she raised her head, her voice soft and relaxed: "It doesn't matter, I have loquat tree saplings!"

The old village chief was stunned: "You have it?!"

Grandma Qin immediately came up and explained: "They all grow in the mountains and are wild."

She wants to protect Ningning's fairyland from outsiders.

The old village chief suddenly realized.

Shen Ningning blinked and said, "If grandpa agrees, Langlang and I will send the saplings over in a few days. The quantity will not be large."

The old village chief thought for a while and nodded immediately: "It's just... Ning Ning, how much money do you want to charge?"

There's no way she could give this kind of thing away for free, right?

Shen Ningning said decisively: "If it is for the people of Xiangyun Village, no money is required."

She answered so quickly, as if she had already thought about it.

Then, the little man smiled sweetly: "But I want to find two uncles to help my grandma and I farm our land. When we sell the fruits, we will earn 73%."

In Xiangyun Village, every household's land has been allocated in advance.

The Qin family had a piece of land before. It was not big, only two acres.

Without the help of men, the land designated would be abandoned.

The old village chief hesitated.

Some people may not agree that if you plant two acres of land, you can only get three-thirds of the income.

However, Uncle Liu took the initiative to stand up: "Ning Ning, you can count me in."

Sister-in-law Liu was stunned and tried to stop her, but she couldn't.

As Uncle Liu came out, there was also a strong villager who also offered to help Shen Ningning.

The little guy's dark eyes looked at them: "Uncle, have you two made up your mind?"

"Think about it, you have helped the village so much before, I just raised a hand and planted whatever land you want!" Uncle Liu said solemnly.

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly said: "Ningning, do you think seventy-three points is too little? We help you plant them, but the whole village can get your saplings for free. It's really unfair."

Shen Ningning blinked her eyelashes and said, "It's fair. My land is fertile and we will grow a lot of fruits!"

Sister-in-law Liu saw that she was young and didn't have the nerve to refute.

As for the Qin family's wasteland, even the birds wouldn't poop.

But Shen Ningning had her own plans.

No matter how desolate that piece of land is, if it is irrigated by her spiritual spring water, it will still grow a lot of loquats.

By then, their harvest from two acres of land will definitely be as good as someone else’s four acres!

After the agreement was reached, Shen Ningning and Grandma Qin rode the wolves home.

On the way, Grandma Qin asked: "Ning Ning, why do you suddenly want everyone to farm together?"

The little man hugged the Black Wolf King's neck and shook his calves.

Her voice was waxy: "Grandma, the weather won't get better in a short time, it will get even hotter!"

She didn't know why, but she had an intuition in her heart that the next drought would only get worse.

"Everyone in the village knows that we are living a good life now. If we encounter trouble, they will definitely find a way to find us if they are desperate."

"There may be trouble then. My brother said that I have so many things and I can't let anyone know about it."

"So, I just learned a sentence a few days ago: It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Instead of sharing food and water with the village all the time, it is better to teach them to be prepared."

She did this for the purpose of protecting the mountains.

Because the little guy found that if people are pushed into a corner, they can really do anything.

Grandma Qin was surprised at how fast Shen Ningning changed.

The little guy is really different. He actually understands some worldly ways!

"Ningning, you are right. Grandma supports you."

After dinner in the evening, Shen Ningning went into the fairyland.

Fortunately, when she planted fruits a few days ago, she buried the seeds of loquat trees.

After being watered by the spiritual rain in the fairyland, about fourteen loquat tree seedlings stood upright in the soil, all taller than Shen Ningning!

The little guy used a shovel to dig out the seedlings little by little, and then dragged them out of the fairyland.

She was exhausted just by digging out fourteen trees!

She was too young, and the wolves couldn't follow her into the fairyland.

Besides, fourteen loquat trees were not enough for the whole village.

So, the next day, Shen Ningning returned to the village and asked everyone to reclaim the wasteland first.

She could take advantage of these few days to repeatedly go into the fairyland to plant trees, and when the saplings were taller than her, Shen Ningning would dig them out.

The people in Xiangyun Village were naturally very happy. Every household was full of energy and went to weed and loosen the soil before dawn.

And Shen Ningning's feeling was not wrong.

In the next two days, the sun shone even more warmly.

Even though it had just rained heavily, the little green grass that had just emerged from the cracks was instantly baked and withered by the bright sunlight.

Mo Lingwei's carriage, under the scorching sun, went directly to the private school in Guangyang County.

He remembered that he had made an appointment with Shen Ningning today to pick her up from school.

However, when he arrived, the book boy told him: "Recently, the sun is very hot, and many students who stayed in the private school suffered from heatstroke, so the teachers exempted half a month of classes and let the students stay at home to rest."

Mo Lingwei frowned slightly.

Chen Shaobei, who was sitting next to him, crossed his arms and couldn't help but sneered.

Immediately, he was given two cold eyes by Mo Lingwei.

Chen Shaobei coughed lightly: "Sorry, Your Highness, I didn't laugh."

"I was just thinking that the fate between His Highness the Crown Prince and this Miss Shen seems to be really strange."

"You always come, she leaves, you chase her, and she's not there."

Mo Lingwei's voice was cold: "You won't die if you say less."

Chen Shaobei raised his hand to indicate that he would shut up.

Looking at the hot sun, Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "Although I haven't been to her new home in the mountains, it's not impossible to find it."

Chen Shaobei paused: "It's a vast mountain, how are you going to find it?"
