"Little sister, you're so kind." Xie Yong took the sour plum soup from Xie Wanxing and immediately took a big sip. "Did you come here because you don't want to study?"

"I'm not you!" Xie Wanxing rolled her eyes at him. She was busy pouring sour plum soup for the uncles.

"Our Xingxing is so sensible." Xie Songyang held the bowl with a satisfied smile on his face. He sat directly on the edge of the field, drinking sour plum soup and taking a rest.

Seeing that everyone present had sour plum soup, she found a place to sit near Xie Songbai and began to ask curiously, "Uncle, how long will it take you to collect it?"

Xie Songbai: "This is just the beginning. I estimate it will take two months."

Xie Wanxing looked up at the vast golden wheat field and said, "Does it take that long to harvest? This is too much work."

"Silly child, this isn't hard work at all. That's just how life is when you work in the fields. Although our lives are better now, we can't forget our roots." Xie Songbai's words were filled with reverence for the land. "Food is everything. Everyone depends on food to survive."

"Yes, uncle, I understand."

"So you have to hurry up and get your father to buy some land. He's making money now, but he doesn't own any land. If he can buy some land, he can grow some vegetables for the winter, which can also be used in the cafeteria."

"Uncle, you and my father have the same idea. He is also thinking about buying land."

"Okay, then wait until your father comes back tonight and I'll go discuss this with him." Xie Songbai drank another bowl of sour plum soup and was about to go back to work. He turned around and said worriedly, "Xingxing, just sit here. If you feel too hot, go home quickly and don't run around outside."

"Well, uncle, go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Seeing that Old Lady Shen also wanted to go to the fields to work, Xie Songbai quickly stopped her: "Mom, don't bother, we can just do it."

"I, your mother, have been harvesting wheat for so many years, how come I can't do it anymore? Go away, don't block my way, I'm very capable." Old Mrs. Shen glared at him and went to the field with a sickle.

Xie Wanxing sat on the edge of the field, supporting her little head with her hands, watching Old Lady Shen and her sons quickly harvesting wheat with sickles. Her mind was already recalling modern harvesting machines, those huge and efficient machines that could complete a large amount of harvesting work in a short time. However, she had not paid attention to this aspect before. As for the new harvesters, she only knew about fully automatic combine harvesters, which she would never have been able to build in ancient times.

A sense of helplessness welled up in her heart. She really wanted to help, but she didn't even know about some simple harvesters that could save her uncle and the others some effort.

Xie Wanxing couldn't help but lament her own ignorance and shallowness in modern life. In that era full of technology and convenience, she seemed to have never really understood the most basic production tools and working methods.

She is also full of admiration for the wisdom and diligence of ancient farmers. Without the support of advanced technology, they relied on their own hands and simple tools to work hard year after year, making great efforts for survival and life. Their love for the land and their desire for a good harvest are so sincere and strong.

Xie Wanxing's heart suddenly began beating like a drum. She felt that she had to do something to suppress such emotions. The eagerness and desire surged in her heart like a surging tide, just like when she chose to apply to medical school at the age of seventeen.

"Grandma! Uncle, second uncle, third uncle! I'm going back first!" Xie Wanxing climbed up from the edge of the field, said hello and started running towards home.

"How come this kid is running so fast as if he's following the wind?" Old Mrs. Shen straightened up from the field and saw only Xie Wanxing's small figure running madly.

Xie Wanxing rushed back home and entered her room. She locked the door immediately and then slipped into the space.

Her study was specially designed by Xie Songlin. Three walls are lined with books, and one wall is a glass display cabinet that contains all the awards she has won since she was a child.

Because the room was too big, Xie Wanxing's books could only fill up one wall, and there were many books that she had not had time to read. Xie Songlin certainly could not let this large study room be empty, so he started buying books for the house.

Xie Songlin was not a scholar, and he did not pick the titles of books. He just filled his home with books one category at a time, and finally filled up the three big walls. So there were many books in Xie Wanxing's home.

Moreover, Xie Wanxing remembered that there was a category related to farming. A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart, but she was not sure whether she could find some information on improving harvesting tools. Her eyes quickly scanned the full bookshelf.

"It actually exists!" Xie Wanxing saw a book about the evolution of modern agricultural machinery. She waved her hand in surprise, and the book fell from the shelf.

Xie Wanxing carefully picked up the book and sat on the ground to read it. After flipping through a few pages, she was sure that this was the book she needed. She then selected a few books about farming from the bookshelf and took them out of the space.

Xie Songlin found that he couldn't catch his daughter again. He didn't know what Xie Wanxing was busy with. She didn't come to the store every day, and she would disappear after going home for dinner every night. He also caught Xie Wanxing once in the space, and she took a few books and hurried out.

When asked, she said it was a secret.

Ask her a few more questions and she'll start spouting nonsense: "Just wait for your fame to spread across the world, Old Xie!"

Xie Songlin was completely confused when he heard this. He had no idea what his daughter meant by this. But seeing her confident look, he finally didn't bother her anymore.

His daughter suddenly disappeared while concentrating on her work, leaving him with a difficult time to deal with a group of people looking for her. Xie Lan wanted to see her, Xie Lin and Xie Heng wanted to see her, and even that brat Lu Zhou came to the store every day to ask him, "Uncle Xie, is Ah Xing here today?"

"No, no, she's been busy lately."

"What is she busy with?"

"She's busy harvesting wheat for her uncle right now. Don't look for her for now."

"Harvesting wheat? She's so young, can she harvest wheat?"

"Yes, she can grind the millstone, feed the cattle, pigs, chickens and ducks, and even cook a few dishes for me."

"..."

Lu Zhou finally realized that his Uncle Xie was teasing him, so he stopped asking questions. He just bought a box of Fudingji dim sum every other day and asked Xie Songlin to take it home to Xie Wanxing.

Xie Lian noticed this handsome young man and realized that he was the son of the noble lady who gave Xie Wanxing the gold necklace.
