After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1674
1674 Dwarf Sunflower
“Um, Xiao Chi! Bring some people with you and go to the city to buy some meat. Buy more beef and also a whole lamb! Let’s roast a lamb here today!” Qiao Qiang said excitedly.
“Huh? Here?” Chi Ze said hesitantly.
This place was indeed quite suitable for a picnic, but was it not a little too sudden to organize a meal here now?
“Yes, here. I’m in a good mood today. Don’t you all want to eat?” Qiao Qiang asked as he looked at them.
They were just a group of employees, so why would they dare to go against their boss? Furthermore, once they headed back, there was endless work and complicated projects waiting for them. Here, they could get paid while eating delicious roasted meat and also leave a good impression on their boss. Of course they would choose to stay here!
“Oh yes! Then I’ll go with the guys to buy meat! We’ll also buy some cutlery and other things! Mao Hang, you stay here and look after Sister-in-law and Uncle!” With that, Chi Ze drove off with the rest of the guys.
Qiao Mei looked at Mao Hang resignedly. She had thought that Qiao Qiang would be able to send everyone away, but she did not expect them to leave one man behind!
However, she could not blame them for being careful. After all, they had all been traumatized by the children’s kidnapping. Nowadays, if a stranger approached Qiao Mei and the children, they would all think that the person was a potential human trafficker.
Whenever they saw any random person on the streets looking at Xia Fan and Xia Xing, they would instinctively be on guard, worried that the children would be abducted again.
“Erm, Mao Hang. Come with me to fish over there. I think that side of the river seems very suitable for fishing!” Qiao Qiang said as he pointed towards the river.
Qiao Mei secretly gave Qiao Qiang a thumbs up. If Mao Hang was not standing there, Qiao Mei would have jumped up and applauded Qiao Qiang.
Mao Hang was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, he wanted to ensure the safety of Qiao Mei and the two children. On the other hand, he was not sure if it was safe for Qiao Qiang to go fishing alone by himself. He did not know how to be at two places at the same time.
“Mao Hang, go with Grandfather. It’s very safe here. The main door can be locked. If there’s any problem, I’ll call out for you,” Qiao Mei said.
Since Qiao Mei had said so, Mao Hang could only accompany Qiao Qiang to go fishing. He did not know what Qiao Qiang was up to today, but he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Once everyone left, Qiao Mei pushed the pram to the lush grassland in the backyard. This place had been unoccupied for a long time and the entire backyard was covered in weeds and bushes. A place like this was perfect for Qiao Mei to produce seeds!
There were many types of sunflowers. In the north, it was more common to find tall sunflowers. Most tall sunflowers could grow to more than two meters tall, but the weeds and bushes around her only reached a height around her knees. It would not be wise for her to plant those tall sunflowers. It would be hard to explain why there were suddenly so many tall sunflowers in the wilderness.
There was another type of sunflower that was shorter. Back then, Qiao Mei had spent a lot of effort cultivating seeds that could only be harvested once. During her experiments, she discovered that the taste of seeds from dwarf sunflowers was not inferior to that of tall sunflowers. Furthermore, the yield was high and the maturity period was short. It was definitely more advantageous to grow dwarf sunflowers as compared with tall sunflowers.
In that case, let’s use dwarf sunflower seeds!
Qiao Mei took out a large handful of seeds from a bag in the pram. She buried them in the ground and kept growing them until she finally produced a big bag of dwarf sunflower seeds.
Qiao Mei reached out to touch the grass on the ground. The grass seemed to be growing well and very energetic.
“Do a little shake,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the grass.
The blades of grass stretched out and shook from side to side as if they were dancing. Qiao Mei clapped her hands happily. It seemed that her ability had improved by a little.
Previously, she could only read the memories and vision of plants. Now, she could actually control the plants. It was just that her ability was relatively limited at the moment and she could only give orders to plants with lower spiritual senses. As for plants with high spiritual senses, Qiao Mei could only try her best to communicate with them.
Qiao Mei placed the seeds in a pile on the ground and asked the blades of grass to lift the seeds up one by one, passed them around and planted them in the ground. After all the seeds were planted, Qiao Mei reached out to gently touch the ground, constantly releasing energy into the land around her.
In the blink of an eye, the land that was only filled with weeds a moment ago turned into a sunflower garden. There were golden sunflowers everywhere.
