Chapter 101: Plowing The Land
Noticing that Duan Yixin was not following him, Chi Xiyou turned around and asked, "Xin Xin, what are you doing standing there?"
Duan Yixin came to her senses and said, "It’s nothing. I just realized how big this land is."
Hearing what she said, Chi Xiyou chuckled and said, "No wonder you dare to buy so much land at once. It turns out you don’t know how big twenty acres of land is."
Hearing Chi Xiyou’s teasing words, Duan Yixin just smiled. After walking for a few more minutes, the two of them finally saw Chi Junheng and the workers eating in the distance.
Seeing Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin walking over, Chi Junheng put down his bowl on the ground and walked up to them. Duan Yixin saw him and smiled, "Uncle Chi, I heard you are looking for me."
Chi Junheng nodded and said, "Yes. I plan to start plowing today, but I’m not sure whether the plan you gave me is correct or not, so I asked Dalang to go and ask you."
Duan Yixin looked at Chi Junheng’s frowning face and said, "I did give the correct design. Uncle Chi, this land will be used to plant new seeds given to me by the government. Since the seeds are different from ordinary grain seeds, I need to try different growing methods."
Looking at the confused looks on Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou’s faces, Duan Yixin explained, "I read in an ancient text about this seed. It said that there must be enough space between each plant so that they can grow normally and get the maximum harvest. It might seem like I am wasting land now. But trust me, the new seeds need at least that much space to grow healthily."
Seeing her confident expression, Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou looked at each other. Knowing that Grandpa Duan loved collecting ancient books, they believed that Duan Yixin might read about the new seeds from one of those books.
