“So, do you still have any questions you want to ask?” Linus glanced at Leon, his expression tinged with impatience.
“If you’ve got something to ask, hurry up and ask it. Once you’re done, go do whatever you want. I still plan to enjoy the spring sunshine. Give it a little while longer, and the sun will start heating up.”
“Of course I do. On the farm, does every step of the planting process need to be done by hand? If you skip even one step, could it cause high-quality crops to drop sharply in yield or even fail to appear?” Leon quickly tossed out his question.
“You’re wondering if using that water pump for irrigation will affect the yield of high-quality crops this season, right?” Linus shot back.
“You knew? Uh… I mean, sure, we’re extraordinary individuals, but you could at least leave ordinary folks a little privacy. At your age, prying like that feels a bit inappropriate,” Leon said, unable to hold back after Linus so cleanly exposed his concern.
Linus snorted, his beard practically bristling as he barked, “Prying? My ass! That little girl tested the pump down at the lakeshore below the slope. I’m not blind, you know. I could see it. And she fitted a high-pressure nozzle—obviously not meant for watering flowers. Anyone with half a brain could tell it was made for you.”
“My bad, my bad. I was being narrow-minded. Don’t be mad, old man.” Leon hurried to apologize, realizing he’d overlooked that part.
Linus rolled his eyes but didn’t keep dwelling on it. Instead, he continued the topic at hand.
“If it’s just watering, there’s no problem. This thing is no different from a sprinkler. Your grandfather used sprinklers before, and that never affected the yield of high-quality crops. You can use it without worry.”
