Chapter 120: Plant Flowers, Get Flowers
Zhao Zhitong initially reassured him, "Don’t worry, Younger Uncle, I wouldn’t trick you."
But when she got annoyed by his urging, she pouted and grumbled, "Who said I couldn’t do it? I’m about to figure it out! See? It’s because you keep disturbing me that I’ve lost my place."
Then, her little cousins all nodded in agreement, joining Zhao Zhitong’s united front and collectively accusing their little uncle, "Little Uncle, stop talking. You’re bothering our little cousin!"
Sun Youcai pretended to glare fiercely at the little rascals, but clearly, they weren’t scared. Not only that, they even stuck out their tongues at him.
Sun Youcai felt that his little niece had made these little monkeys even naughtier.
At that moment, Zhao Zhitong finally lifted her head, her small face alight with excitement as she exclaimed, "Oh, I know now!"
Actually, it was Grandpa Bai who had helped her cheat.
With Grandpa Bai’s explanation, Zhao Zhitong finally understood what to do. She pointed at the peony flower and said, "The book says there are many ways to plant peonies, such as division, grafting, and by using cuttings."
This dry information left Sun Youcai with a head full of question marks. He hurriedly asked, "Just tell us what we need to do."
Zhao Zhitong lightly tapped Sun Youcai’s head with her little hand. "Younger Uncle, you’re too impatient. You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, you know. This isn’t right of you."
Having been lectured, Sun Youcai remained silent, but How can you not eat hot tofu in a hurry? I just ate some yesterday! he grumbled inwardly.
Zhao Zhitong continued, "The book says to choose short branches that sprout from the root crown of the main plant as cuttings."
