After Xie Lin and his friends returned home, they also saw the fruit tree seedlings piled in the front yard. After asking, they found out that they were going up the mountain to plant trees tomorrow. He immediately said that he didn't want to go to class tomorrow and wanted to stay at home and plant trees in the mountain with his sister, but was harshly rejected by Xie Songlin.

Xie Lin's eyes were filled with tears: "Daddy! Why doesn't my sister have to study?"

"Because your sister already knows everything you're learning." Xie Songlin glanced at him and said slowly, "If she doesn't go, you have to go."

When Xie Lin heard this, his eyes widened. His face was filled with disbelief as he shouted at the top of his voice, "She doesn't even listen to Mr. Shen's class!"

"If you don't believe me, go ask your Mr. Shen. You're still reciting the Thousand Character Classic, but your sister can already recite the Analects."

Cheng Fei raised his eyebrows calmly, thinking to himself that Xie Wanxing had actually started learning "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of six. You know, the content of "The Analects of Confucius" is quite profound for children who have just started to read, and it is not easy to master and understand it. However, Xie Wanxing not only learned it, but also memorized it.

Xie Wanxing immediately stepped forward to coax him: "Second brother, go study hard. When these trees bear fruit, I will be the first to give it to you."

Xie Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still asked in a low voice with a hint of doubt: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I'm the best to you, second brother." Xie Wanxing answered without hesitation, and immediately took out a handful of candies from her pocket. These were all White Rabbit milk candies and fruits in the space. She had already torn off the modern packaging and rewrapped it with the oil paper here, ready to take them out at any time.

"You are so kind to me, little sister." Xie Lin was so touched that he filled a bag of candies and left.

Seeing Cheng Fei watching them quietly, Xie Wanxing thought he wanted some candy too, so she went over and handed him a White Rabbit candy bar. "Cousin, do you want some candy?"

Cheng Fei was slightly stunned. He was silent for a moment as he looked at the White Rabbit candy wrapped in oil paper that Xie Wanxing handed over. He had been looking at it not because he was greedy for the candy, but because the candy was indeed sweet and delicious. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still reached out and gently took the candy: "Thank you, Xing."

After a while, Xie Kang and Xie Tai arrived in an ox cart.

Xie Kang called out to them, "Miss, Master Cheng, we are ready and can set off up the mountain!"

"Coming, coming." Xie Wanxing ran over with light steps, and Cheng Fei followed behind Xie Wanxing slowly.

The ox cart swayed forward. The Xie family was not far from the back mountain, and they arrived there soon. Because Xie Wanxing and Xie Songlin had secretly come to the back mountain alone before and scanned the approximate data with the laser scanner at home, Xie Wanxing's drawings were relatively accurate. The foot of the mountain was the main area marked out for fruit tree planting. The terrain here was relatively open, the land was relatively fertile, and there were gurgling streams flowing around.

Xie Kang has always been a man of nimble hands and feet. As soon as the ox cart stopped, he was the first to jump off the cart with agility. After landing steadily, he immediately turned around and began to busy himself with moving the tools needed for planting trees from the ox cart.

"Miss, you don't have to move. Just watch from the side." Xie Kang walked to the marked place with a shovel and began to dig the hole skillfully.

"That won't work. Didn't we agree to plant trees together?" Xie Wanxing also picked up a shovel. Although the shovel seemed a bit large in her hand, she held it firmly. She walked to the spot Xie Kang had marked and asked, "Is this where we start digging the hole?"

"Yes, right over there." Xie Kang replied with a smile.

Xie Tai also came over with digging tools. He looked at Cheng Fei, raised the shovel in his hand and asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Cheng, do you want a shovel?"

Although Cheng Fei was now able to move freely, the injury on his back still prevented him from digging, which would cause damage to the wound. Xie Wanxing saw this and immediately shouted, "Cousin, I can't dig anymore. Come and help me."

"coming."

Cheng Fei also picked up a shovel and walked to Xie Wanxing. Although he couldn't use too much force, he still carefully loosened the soil with the shovel. Xie Wanxing stood by and used his own small shovel to shovel some of the loose soil loosened by Cheng Fei aside.

Xie Wanxing whispered, "Cousin, take care of the injury on your back. Just think of this as a way to relax."

"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do." Cheng Fei nodded, and the two of them began to dig the hole with concentration.

Not far away, Xie Tai was also waving a shovel vigorously, digging up the soil one shovel at a time. Like Xie Kang, Xie Tai worked very decisively. They dug holes at an astonishing speed. Xie Wanxing and his team took half a day to dig one hole, while Xie Tai had already dug several deep holes in the ground. The holes were of uniform size and appropriate depth.

Xie Wanxing secretly glanced at the pits dug by Xie Tai and Xie Kang. They were here to plant trees, but she was really here to fish.

After working for a long time, they dug a lot of holes. Xie Kang was ready to put a batch of saplings in first. Xie Wanxing was also assigned a sapling. She gently picked up a sapling and walked to the dug hole. She carefully placed the sapling in and carefully adjusted the position of the sapling. Cheng Fei helped to support the sapling.

Xie Wanxing used a small shovel to gently fill the soil back into the hole. Every time he filled it in, he would step on it lightly with his feet to make the soil more compact.

"Miss, you are amazing!" Xie Kang praised her.

Xie Wanxing felt a little guilty. She and Cheng Fei were two members of the experience group. It felt like they were back in elementary school when they followed their teacher to plant trees on Arbor Day. They planted a crooked tree and were praised by the teacher for being great.

They went back to Xie's house for lunch. Mrs. Li had prepared the meal early. After lunch, they went to water the plants and finish the work. Xie Wanxing didn't plan to go. She didn't plan to plant too many trees, mainly because of Cheng Fei's injury. She didn't admit that she was lazy and didn't want to do it.

Cheng Hui saw through her daughter's thoughts at a glance. She looked at Xie Wanxing and said slowly, "Axing, you've been gone for a while now, so why don't you go?"

"Mom, I'm just worried about my cousin's injury." Xie Wanxing jumped to Cheng Fei's side and grabbed his arm. "It would be bad if his injury gets worse because of this. Besides, I also put in a lot of effort when we were working this morning."

Cheng Fei was pulled by her hand and smiled when he heard it.

Cheng Hui looked around. Today, Mrs. Li went out after dinner, saying that she wanted to go dig some wild vegetables with other women in the village. Xie Yao was also sleeping soundly in the house. There were only three of them in the whole yard. It was a good opportunity to have a conversation.

She moved her chair closer to Cheng Fei and Xie Wanxing and asked, "A Fei, what are your plans for the future?"
