Chapter 158: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (33)

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."

As Xie Yang and her group were enjoying their meal and chatting happily, a young girl holding a stack of flyers tentatively approached them:

"Are you interested in a real-life version of 'Happy Farm'? Our boss was a loyal player of Happy Farm when she was a student, and after achieving success in her career, she wanted to do something she was interested in, so she contracted a hundred acres of farmland in Jingjiao and planned this 'Gongxiangcaiyuan' project."

Perhaps seeing that Xie Yang and the others did not interrupt her or impatiently wave her away, she handed over the brochures in her hand and continued to introduce:

"Our farmland is located between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, and it's very convenient to take the ring road... Of the first batch of one hundred small vegetable gardens launched, there are currently thirty adoption spots left. If you are interested, you can take advantage of the National Day holiday to go and see it in person.

Honestly, children nowadays live in cities built of steel and Cement, and they have very few opportunities to touch the soil and experience Planting. Even if they can grow things on balconies or terraces, it is a completely different feeling from the farmland of nature."

Nuo Nuo Ma was the first to be tempted: "Does that mean if we adopt a vegetable garden, it will belong entirely to our family? We can plant whatever we want, and everything we grow belongs to us to harvest, is that what it means?"

"That's right! And our staff will help take care of it, so even if you don't have time to go there often, the crops in the field won't wither. You only need to go there when you have time to weed, loosen the soil, water the garden, and check the growth progress of the crops, and harvest them yourself when they are mature..."

"This is great!" Nuo Nuo Ma clapped her hands.

Her Nuo Nuo had boundless energy and couldn't stay at home on weekends. Since she had to take him out anyway, it would be better to adopt a small vegetable garden; it would give him a place to burn off his excess energy and let him experience the hard work of farmers, so she could see if he would still be a picky eater in the future.

So she asked about the price.

"Our boss just wants to fulfill her dream from her student days. Her exact words were that as long as it doesn't lose money, she doesn't intend to make a profit, so the fees are very reasonable: 1,500 for a one-year adoption, 2,800 for two years, 4,200 for three years, and 6,000 for five years."

The fee was indeed not expensive.

But for Xie Yang, who was not short of money, whether it was expensive or not was not the main issue.

She turned her head to look at the siblings: "Linbao, Jinbao, do you want to experience growing vegetables?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jinchu nodded, "Jinbao wants to!"

Xie Jilin looked hesitant: "Aunt, this place is very far from our home, right? We are still small and can't go by ourselves. Every time we go, we need Aunt to pick us up and drop us off, but this way, Aunt will be too tired."

"Oh my! You are so well-behaved, baby! You're just like a little angel!"

Before Xie Yang could speak, Nuo Nuo Ma hugged Xie Jilin.

If she hadn't seen the little guy's resistant expression, she would have wanted to give him a kiss.

Feng Zinuo was not only not jealous or unhappy, but he also suggested with excitement: "Mom, I have a good idea! You drive us three there together! That way we can play in the car, and Linbao's aunt won't have to be tired."

"..."

Nuo Nuo Ma: You really are your mother's good son!

Xie Yang was amused by this child.

However, picking up and dropping off was just a small matter, and they didn't need to go every day; going on weekends when there was time was enough.

The so-called adoption was actually just helping the boss share a little bit of the rent pressure; it wouldn't really require them to do the planting themselves.

But the children thought they really had to plant it themselves. After eating and drinking their fill, they gathered around a tablet and watched short science videos about Planting that Xie Yang had picked for them, covering everything from seed selection and seedling raising to later maintenance.

Three little faces were serious and focused, whispering to each other from time to time, discussing in a proper manner what to name the vegetable garden and what crops to plant.

When dinner ended and they headed to the Recreational Vehicle to spend the night, the three children were already jumping and skipping, having decided what to plant.

"Aunt, my brother and I are planting Potato."

"Mom, I want to plant Potato too!"

"Why did you think of planting Potato? Wouldn't it be better to plant some leafy vegetables? Isn't it just right to plant Chinese cabbage this season?"

Nuo Nuo Ma really wanted to plant some leafy vegetables and coaxed her son, wanting to divide a plot of land to plant some Chinese cabbage.

Xie Yang, however, let the children do as they pleased.

She guessed that "planting Potato" was led by her nephew.

This season, the only high-yield crop that could be planted was Potato.

Even if he didn't know about the existence of the Sky Screen, he really wanted to figure out how this high-yield crop, Potato, was grown.

Since they decided to rent a small vegetable garden for the children to experience the joy of Planting, the itinerary for the farm stay was compressed by one day, and they returned a day early to head to the "Gongxiangcaiyuan" at the Fifth Ring Road.

When they arrived, they found that the layout was indeed quite similar to Happy Farm.

The one hundred acres of land were cut by crisscrossing field paths into neat rectangular tofu blocks, each thirty square meters.

The outermost few blocks were clearly adopted by families and had been reclaimed into three small plots for easy drainage, each planted with vegetables—some just sprouting, some already seedlings, and some about to mature.

Vegetable garden nameplates were erected at the head of the fields, and the names given to the gardens were varied:

——"Xiao Ming's family never needs to buy vegetables again"

——"Li Li's magic field"

——"Huanhuan's vegetable castle"

——"Vegetable base that can fight zombies"

When Feng Zinuo saw the last one, he yelled excitedly: "What about mine! Where is my wooden sign! I also want to name my little vegetable garden! Let's call it 'Ultraman Earth Base'!"

"..."

By comparison, the vegetable garden name thought up by Xie Jilin and his sister was much more normal—"The two babies' little fairy field".

Xie Yang first arranged the emotional value: "Super great! Super amazing! How did you come up with such a great name? Too amazing!"

Xiao Jinchu was so happy from the praise that she showed her two little rice teeth: "Because my brother and I are both Aunt's babies!"

Actually, it was Xie Jilin who thought of it.

Worried that his sister would let it slip, he only mentioned the meaning of the character "Bao": Linbao + Jinbao = two babies.

"Two" and "Daliang" are homophones, containing the meaning of "coming from Daliang".

As for the fairy field... he always felt that this world seemed to have been opened up by immortals, with traces of "Immortal Artifact" everywhere, and life was as beautiful as the days only immortals could have.

Nuo Nuo Ma did not win against her son's stubbornness.

In front of her family's vegetable garden stood a vegetable garden nameplate with the very "chuunibyou" name "Ultraman Earth Base," and she felt completely hopeless.

Looking at Xie Yang's family's again—"The two babies' little fairy field," how cute! How fitting! How normal!

She was so envious she almost shed tears.

On the first day of adopting the "Gongxiangcaiyuan," the two families loosened the soil, watered, and applied base fertilizer to their respective vegetable gardens.

"Planting vegetables without base fertilizer is like a blind person lighting a lamp."

The staff member guiding them would occasionally spout farming wisdom often repeated by old farmers.

Seeing two of the children listening with great interest, they were happy to say a bit more:

"Base fertilizer is like the 'startup capital' for vegetable growth, providing basic nutrients for the crop's entire growth cycle. If top-dressing is like 'adding flowers to embroidery,' then base fertilizer is more like 'sending charcoal in snowy weather.'"

"Is it very important?" Xie Jilin's eyes sparkled.

The staff member laughed: "Yes! Extremely important!"
