It was not that they were so good that they could guess what the future would be like when they left the valley at a glance, but just from the fact that the people in the old residence had been caring nonchalantly for the seedlings, how much could they care about the future rice fields?

Farming was not as simple as burying the seeds. Those people in the old residence would regret it in the future.

“By the way, two days ago, my nephew came back from the county and heard something. He said that it’s that Fengcai from the Ning Family…”

Xiaoxiao could not hear these conversations. She was secretly doing the “replace the original with a fake” thing now. With the help of the space, two hours later, half of the seedlings in her seedling field had been changed to the products of the space. Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to see her parents’ shocked expressions when they were harvesting. She straightened her back with a smile and continued fishing happily.

When Ning Erlang woke up to pick her up, the prawn basket and small bucket were already filled with harvest. The two of them returned home while bickering, just in time for the guests to arrive.

When Shen Tianci pulled his parents to the entrance of the Ning Family’s small courtyard and introduced them happily, “This is my mother and my father!” Xiaoxiao and Ning Dalang were stunned, but the two of them quickly composed themselves and welcomed them in.

County Magistrate Shen’s first impression of the small courtyard of the Ning Family was that it was shabby but neat. The farm tools and brooms were neatly arranged in the corner and there was no mess at all. The ground was very clean and there was no dust or fallen leaves. There was a chicken coop in the southeast corner where four hens and one cock paced back and forth. Occasionally, they would peck in the food bowl and call out a few times.

There was no strange smell or excess things in the courtyard. It was obvious that the Ning Family was diligent. There was a row of bamboo shelves against the wall. There were a few flower pots filled with soil on the shelves. Many green seedlings popped out of the soil and looked full of vitality.

County Magistrate Shen saw that Ning Fengnian, as the head of the family, was a bit reserved, so he tried to find something to talk about. “The potted plants are planted well.”

Ning Fengnian said shyly and proudly, “It was our daughter’s idea. It’s convenient to plant onions and garlic like this. She even asked me to make a few more later and put a few pots of chili on them.”

County Magistrate Shen was speechless. He had never expected that this was a vegetable garden.

Madam Song also bragged to Madam Li, who was looking for something to say to her. “It’s in the corner over there. Xiaoxiao asked us to plant the calabash vine and said that when summer comes, we’ll guide the calabash vine to climb up the wall. Then, we’ll pull two ropes and let the calabash vine connect from the wall to the door. It’ll be cool in summer and we can enjoy the scenery on rainy days. When the calabash comes out and hangs on the vine, it’ll jingle when the wind blows.”

What she did not say was that Xiaoxiao also said something else—the young ones could stir-fry vegetables, while the old ones could be dried to hold sweet soup and wine.

Seeing their calm smiles, County Magistrate Shen was sure that the couple indeed didn’t know his identity, so he also chatted with Ning Fengnian about the fields with a smile.

Ning Fengnian was a bit shy, but County Magistrate Shen was really stunned by Ning Fengnian’s words when he started to talk about the things in the fields. The adults were chatting in the courtyard. Shen Tianci followed Ning Erlang to the village to run around and pick cedar. Ning Dalang wanted to go to the kitchen to help his sister. Xiaoxiao cut the fish head into two slices and placed them with the fish bones. She started to heat the pot and pour oil. Then, she asked the question she had asked before, “Brother, do you want to study?”

Ning Dalang was puzzled when the old matter was brought up again. Xiaoxiao put the chopped onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, and chili into the pot and said casually.

“Brother, there’s a Bowen Academy in the county. The teachers there are all great teachers, so the students are all trying their best to enter. I heard that County Magistrate Shen has a recommendation spot for admission.”

Ning Dalang stared at his sister for a while and frowned.. “Don’t tell me…”
