Forget it, she will change back slowly, so it is pitiful for parents in the world to know that their children do something wrong but do not correct it. When a mistake is made, it will be too late to try to correct it.

Su Mingjuan continued to hide in the back room, feeling sorry for herself and crying.

Zhu Xiuyun took Qingqing, drove a small car with a bucket, and put some fertilizer and farm tools at his door, planning to go to the farmland outside the village.

"Come on, Qingqing, sit down and hold on." Zhu Xiuyun picked up Qingqing and put her in the car, drove into the car and drove straight out of the village.

The villagers in Shanquan Village are very hard-working. Every few days, under the leadership of the team leader, each family will send a laborer to go into the mountains to hunt strange animals and collect elixirs. The interstellar coins earned from the sales will be distributed equally to each household.

Most women and children farm at home. There are two types of fields. One is the planting field that requires a protective cover. It grows energy food, which belongs to the individual and can be eaten by oneself or sold for money.

The large farmland outside the village belongs to the village collective, but it is allocated to each household according to their household registration. Only synthetic food, also called genetically modified crops, can be grown.

Genetically modified crops have strong disease resistance and do not absorb special energy in the universe. They have high yields, but they taste very bad. The only advantage is that they are cheap.

It is the raw material of low-grade nutrient solution, which can be supplied to the poor people in the city in large quantities. It tastes extremely unpleasant, not as good as the paste Su Qing eats.

Ordinary grains and vegetables, even if they are grown outside and contain energy, are not needed at the purchasing station. They are low in energy and huge in quantity.

Those psychics don't have the time and energy to deal with it, so large areas of farmland can only grow genetically modified crops.

It has just entered May, and the crops in the fields have just grown more than half a foot long, mainly corn and wheat. Some people also plant peanuts, beans, spinach, carrots and other vegetables.

At a glance, the crisscrossing fields were full of green crops. Su Qing observed them very carefully. They were no different from farmland on earth.

Corn and wheat can mature in two months, and they should be harvested in July, and then they can plant another crop. Most people like to plant cabbage, radish, spinach and other frost-resistant vegetables, so that they can prepare enough supplementary food before winter.

Su Qing is a child who grew up in the city and is not proficient in farming. However, he has read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos with the rise of the Internet. He knows a little bit about it, but has never practiced it.

After lunch, every household would go to work in the fields. The land of Zhu Xiuyun's family was next to that of Su Feng's family. They were divided together so that the two families could take care of each other.

Later, Su Mingjuan got married and Su Jing died unexpectedly, leaving Zhu Xiuyun alone. She was not allocated much land, so she could manage it by herself.

The two nephews Su Ping and Su An often come to help their aunt with work. When the autumn harvest comes, the two families work together.

Zhu Xiuyun knew that she was taking advantage, but there was nothing she could do about it. In a woman's family, every household was busy during the autumn harvest. If she didn't take back the grain quickly, what would happen if she couldn't pay the taxes? She could only rely on her brother-in-law and his family. Her only daughter was busier than her.

She drove the car to her farm, hugged Qingqing, took out a few bags of fertilizer, turned around and told Qingqing,

"You just play in the field while grandma goes to fertilize the field. Don't run around."

"Grandma, let me help you, I can do the work."

Zhu Xiuyun looked at the little man in front of her with a smile, remembering that her daughter was also so well-behaved when she was a child.

"Qingqing, you can't do this. Be obedient. As long as you don't run around, grandma will be very happy."

Originally, it would have been better to leave the child at home, but Su Qing insisted on coming out, so Zhu Xiuyun took him with him.

It is normal for adults to take their children with them when working. As long as they don't go to the mountains or the river, there is no danger in the village.

When Su Qing saw that Zhu Xiuyun refused to let her work, she looked at her little arms and legs. Forget it, she was only three years old. She was still young, so stop being pretentious and do what a three-year-old should do.

She nodded obediently, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll just play nearby and won't run around."

Zhu Xiuyun nodded, this large area is farmland, there is no danger.

She picked up the fertilizer and hoe, went to the field to dig a hole at the roots of the corn, spread a handful of fertilizer, buried it, and then continued the same action.

The sun was high above her head, and soon she was sweating profusely. When she reached her head, she looked up and saw her little granddaughter picking wild flowers on the ground.

Zhu Xiuyun was relieved and continued to work hard.

Su Qing was curious about everything about the new environment. Even a weed growing on the ground had to be studied to see how it was different from the earth. Why could something growing in the open be inedible?

She found that in addition to the crops in the fields, the plants here were very lush. The grass on the ground was more than one meter high, and there were also various wild vegetables.

Many people are working in the fields, some are fertilizing, some are watering, and more are weeding.

Weeds grow very quickly and are very tenacious. They must be pulled out every few days, otherwise the crops will not grow well.

Su Qing pulled out a piece of hairy grass that is common on Earth and took a closer look. There was no difference.

Looking elsewhere, Su Qing's face was overjoyed. She saw a sweet wine flower, which happened to be blooming. She knew this. When she picked the flower, the bottom would taste sweet when she put it in her mouth.

She just needs to taste it. To see if the food outside is really inedible, she just licks it.

He reached out to pick a flower and licked it with his tongue. A sweet taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, just like on earth.

After all, Su Qing was an adult and had a cautious personality. She did not continue to lick her. She lowered her head and continued to look for wild vegetables.

When Su Qing was old, eating wild vegetables became popular in society. I can’t remember exactly why. Anyway, they are rich in nutrients. Eating them will make your body healthier.

Common shepherd's purse, dandelion, bitter greens, red root vegetables, and broom seedlings are all put on the dining table. When spring comes, many city dwellers go to the countryside to pick wild vegetables and to pile tree buds in the mountains.

Although Su Qing doesn't go out, there are countless short videos on the Internet introducing wild vegetables, and she knows a lot of them.

There are several kinds of wild vegetables on the ground. I don’t know if the wild vegetables still have the original taste. When I pulled up a bitter vegetable and took a bite, the bitter taste was the same. But why couldn’t the plants be eaten when they were planted outside? This puzzled her. , it seems that we need to find other ones to try.

There were only weeds and wild vegetables near the field, and there were too few varieties. Large clusters of February orchids and dandelions had purple and yellow flowers. Su Qing picked a handful in his hand when he was interested.

"Qingqing, are you here with your grandmother? Is your mother in the field with her?"

Su Qing raised her head and saw Su Feng's family of four, also driving two carts. They had just arrived at the field and asked her if she was her aunt Wang Sanmei.

"Second uncle, aunt, uncle An, uncle Ping, and mother were tired and didn't come. Only grandma was fertilizing the fields."

"Oh, you are so good. Our Qingqing can speak now. I just said that Lao Li's family is not a thing. My own granddaughter has also suffered. If I have to say that the child is mute, our Qingqing can speak very eloquently."

Su Feng nodded and felt uncomfortable when he heard that Su Mingjuan didn't come to work. What happened to his niece? She worked hard for the Li family without complaining, but when she returned to her parents' home, she ignored her mother and was lazy.

Wang Sanmei didn't think too much and told Qingqing,

"You just play in the field and ask your uncle to catch a Mengniu for you to play with."

"Yeah!" Su Qing nodded,
