After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 96 It's just pulling up radishes! I'll pull, pull, pull!

Professor Jiang held the white radish in both hands, his eyes filled with delight.

He shook his head and said excitedly, "It's not old at all, not old at all. This radish is just big and strong, just right."

Professor Jiang looked down excitedly at the messy vegetable patch, where all sorts of miscellaneous vegetables were planted together.

If his apprentice dared to do that in the experimental field, he would definitely give him a good scolding.

At that moment, he looked at the little girl and asked in a gentle voice, "Little girl, could you pull up a few more radishes to see?"

Jian Ning nodded and said, "Of course, one radish isn't enough for me to make dried radish. I'm planning to pull up all the radishes in this plot of land."

This is the land she first planted; back then, she was lazy and just scattered vegetable seeds haphazardly.

When she wants to eat a particular vegetable, she goes to the specially designated vegetable garden to pick it.

She just happened to see this piece of land today, and suddenly her obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in, and she wanted to clean it up properly because it was too messy.

She happened to want to make spicy dried radish, so she started by cleaning the white radish.

Upon hearing this, Professor Jiang quickly said, "I'll pull it out with you."

Jian Ning answered without hesitation, "Okay."

After all, even though the spells were easy for her to master, she wasn't very fluent in using them.

This vegetable garden is a mess, and if she uses magic, all sorts of vegetables will be piled up haphazardly, and she'll have to tidy them up.

Jian Ning was overjoyed when someone offered to help pull up the radishes.

Since Professor Jiang had spoken up, the other three couldn't just stand there dumbfounded, so they all got down to pull up radishes.

Xia pulled up radishes, sweating profusely. It felt like a very long time had passed. When she looked up and counted the radishes she had pulled up, she realized she had only pulled up five.

Never before had he felt that time was so long.

He looked conflicted, wondering whether he should remind Professor Jiang again.

Their real purpose in coming here is to investigate Jian Ning!

Looking back, Professor Jiang, with his half-gray hair, was excitedly pulling up radishes, asking Jian Ning as he did so how the vegetable garden was fertilized, how it was usually managed, and whether there had been any pests before, noting that it looked much less infested than the other vegetable patch…

Xia was panting heavily, but seeing that Professor Jiang didn't seem tired at all, how could a young man like him say he was tired!
It's just pulling up radishes! I'll pull, pull, pull!

Then, the radish top broke off, and he fell flat on his backside, burying the whole radish in the ground...

Jian Ning didn't react.

Professor Jiang, however, exclaimed in a worried tone, "Oh dear, be careful!"

Professor Jiang is a national-level scholar and is known for his strictness. It is said that he often scolds his students to tears.

This is why Xia was so respectful throughout the day, afraid of displeasing Professor Jiang.

At this moment, Xia felt a surge of emotion. Actually, the ground was soft and his bottom didn't hurt when he fell, but he didn't expect Professor Jiang to be so worried about him.

"Professor Jiang, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Professor Jiang came over and helped him up.

Xia was deeply moved; Professor Jiang was indeed different from the rumors.

He quickly replied, "I'm fine."

Looking up, I saw that Professor Jiang's face seemed to be a shade darker than before.

“You’re a grown adult, of course you’re fine. You fell down and didn’t even get up right away. Look at the ground.”

Professor Jiang said with great distress, "You've ruined all these vegetables. It's such a waste. They're growing so well; they could feed one person for several meals."

Xiaoxia: "..."

He was silent.

Jian Ning tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's alright. I raise chickens. I can just pick these rotten vegetables and feed them to the chickens."

Professor Jiang looked at Jian Ning, his previously somber face immediately softening with a touch of kindness, and asked gently, "You also raise chickens?"

"Mmm." Jian Ning looked at Professor Jiang's gaze, which was somewhat like the way her grandfather used to look at her. Her heart warmed, and she subconsciously felt the urge to share: "I also raise ducks and have a fishpond. The fish in there are so delicious. I also dried a lot of radishes." Just like how her grandfather would say every time she came home with an award from school, "Oh, our Ningning got an award again."

Jian Ning straightened her back and began to announce her scores: "As for the certificates, I performed exceptionally well this time and even got first place in the class. I got 98 in Chinese, full marks in math and English, but I didn't do so well in geography, only 93."

Grandpa would give a thumbs up and say, "Ningning is just like this!"

Upon hearing this, Professor Jiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Young lady, you really are something! Can you take me to see your chickens and ducks?"

“Of course.” Jian Ning waved her hand. “Come with me.”

The artificial lake is not far from the vegetable garden; it's just a short walk away.

The little ducklings we bought earlier are swimming happily in the lake right now.

After looking at the ducks, Jianning took them to see the chickens.

Although the chickens had eliminated a lot of the weeds in the chicken coop, the area was too large, and the chickens were nowhere to be seen.

Jian Ning gave the little Border Collie a look.

The little Border Collie went to find the chickens, then herded them all into a line and drove them toward the crowd, as if presenting some kind of treasure.

Professor Jiang looked at this scene and exclaimed, "You raise your dog so well, and you raise your chickens so well too."

Although he specializes in agriculture, he doesn't separate agriculture from animal husbandry.

Just by looking at their condition, you can tell how well these chickens and ducks are raised.

He is currently conducting research specifically on increasing corn yields. Corn is edible for humans and is also one of the main food sources for livestock.

Seeing that the little girl not only farms well, but also raises such strong chickens and ducks.

He was even more convinced that Jian Ning was an agricultural genius!

Unfortunately, the apprentice didn't get it, so he had to be the one to bring it up.

"Young lady, would you be interested in joining my research group?"

Xia, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Professor Jiang actually took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to join the research group!
Keep in mind that this is a national-level research group, and the minimum requirement to get in is a doctorate.

Once you join, you'll be in a permanent position. In addition to a fixed high salary, the bonuses for any research you produce are also quite generous.

Of course, it's not impossible to specially recruit someone of Professor Jiang's caliber.

Jian Ning is really lucky to have gained Professor Jiang's appreciation.

It truly was a blessing in disguise.

However, what Xia didn't expect was...

Upon hearing this, Jian Ning waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not interested."

Jian Ning has never been very ambitious. She was the same way when she was in the entertainment industry. She would act in any role that came her way, and her hard work was only because she didn't have the money.

Now she doesn't have to worry about money. She just wants to slowly transform the mountain villa into her ideal place, cultivate immortality, and when the time is right, bring her grandmother over to live with her in her old age.

Professor Jiang's rejection was within his expectations.

It seems that this little girl in front of me was never meant to be restrained.

However, his invitation was sincere, so he left room for further discussion.

"If you ever change your mind, feel free to contact me. This is my business card."

Jian Ning took the business card and replied, "Okay."

Even if you know in your heart that it's impossible, at this time, you don't need to offend the other party.

In any case, as long as it is harmless to you, there is no need to rush to reject or refute it.

Professor Jiang looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, we should leave. The Ministry of Agriculture will give the public an explanation once the sampling results are available, so don't worry."

As the person was about to leave, Jian Ning suddenly remembered: "Oh right, I said I would give you the brain-boosting pills. Please wait for me at the door, I'll go get them for you."
