Chapter 58: Trial Planting

After helping Mother Xiao prepare the vegetables, Xiao Lingyu was eager to go to the space to sow some seeds.

However, when Xiao Lingyu arrived, she frowned. She forgot the land was choked full of weeds.

“Should I have brought a hoe and shovel with me?” Xiao Lingyu mumbled to herself. “But it would have been too obvious when I disappeared with a hoe or a shovel.”

She temporarily didn’t dare to share the secret of the farming space with her family. She didn’t want to endanger them until she could be sure it was safe.

The omission made things difficult for her.

“Ah!” Xiao Lingyu was frustrated. “I at least need a hoe!”

In the real world, Xiao Lingyu sneaked a hoe past Mother Xiao to her room. She bolted the door to prevent her family from walking in.

Xiao Lingyu brought the hoe into the space. Looking at the eighteen pieces of land, she frowned. “There are so many weeds. How I wish for a mechanized tool. How can I clear up all the weeds by myself? If only they can disappear on their own!”

As soon as she said that, a miracle happened. All the weeds were gone. Xiao Lingyu’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe her eyes.

“What’s going on?” Xiao Lingyu was puzzled. “Hmm.. Is it possible that this space is controlled by my mind?”

Xiao Lingyu took out a small bag of eggplant seeds to test out that theory. She opened it and shook out some seeds into the middle of her palm. Then she focused. “Sow these seeds!”

The change happened in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the eggplant seeds in Xiao Lingyu’s hand were gone.

A portion of the land formed into farming plots about four meters long and one meter wide. The plots were surrounded by small ditches. The eggplant seeds Xiao Lingyu held earlier had all been planted.

Xiao Lingyu exclaimed, “This is amazing!” This meant that she didn’t need to worry about manpower. She would be able to farm everything by herself. Her mind could control all the farming.

Xiao Lingyu took out other seeds. Soon, everything was sown.

Then, Xiao Lingyu turned to look at the ditches around the plots. She blinked, and with a thought, the ditches filled up with water. Since her job was done, Xiao Lingyu exited the space.

The moment she did, there was a knock on the door.

“Sis!” Xiao Lingye called out from outside the door.

Xiao Lingyu went to open the door and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Lingye held a paper in his hand and said, “I have a few questions that I don’t understand. Can you explain them to me?” Xiao Lingye’s results were not bad, but he was still a distance away from Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingye had to sit for the university entrance exam in less than three months.

These three months were very crucial. Xiao Lingye was fully focused. If he performed like usual during the exam, he had confidence he could join a prestigious university.

Xiao Lingyu took the paper and said, “Come in.”

She studied the paper, and her brows furrowed. Then as she found the solution, her expression relaxed. She taught Xiao Lingye.

With Xiao Lingyu’s explanation, Xiao Lingye understood the solution immediately. He was a very good student.

Xiao Lingye held a pen and said with a smile, “Sis, no wonder you’re the top scorer of Xing Yin County. I need to work hard to catch up.”

Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “Little brother, you’re already very good in your studies! It’s only a matter of time until you surpass me!”

Xiao Lingye scratched the back of his head shyly. At that moment, he noticed the water stains on the edge of his sister’s pants. “Sis, why are your pants wet?”

Xiao Lingyu looked down. Her brother was right. The edge of her pants was wet. She believed she got it wet when she was inside the farming space.

Xiao Lingyu explained, “I went to the backyard to water the vegetables. I probably splattered the water on myself.”

Xiao Lingye nodded and said, “Sis, you need to be careful. The weather is chilly, don’t catch a cold.”

“I know.” Xiao Lingyu replied.

At this moment, Mother Xiao shouted from outside the door, “Yu ‘Er, can you go to the field and get your father to come back for dinner?”

Xiao Lingyu replied, “Okay!”
