Xie Wanxing has been very happy these two days. The wheat and rice she planted have grown well. She recorded the harvest and compared it with the current yield per mu, which has increased by about five times.
Although she was excited, she was not particularly sure. After all, the black soil in the space was different from the land outside. She was not sure whether the seeds she cultivated would have such a high yield per mu outside. If it was only effective in the space, then it would be useless.
But this was still very good news, and she couldn't wait to find Xie Songlin to share the good news: "Dad, I've harvested both the rice and wheat, and the yield per mu has increased about fivefold. But I'm not sure if these seeds will have such high yields outside. Please find me two experimental plots, and we can try planting them in the spring."
"Really?" Xie Songlin was also surprised when he heard this. "It just so happens that I asked your uncle to help me buy a few plots of land. It's just over the mountain, close to our home, so I'll plant there."
"Yes, and my fruits too. I'll pick some and plant them over there on the back hill."
"No problem." Xie Songlin thought for a moment, "I'll talk to your uncle first and ask him to help me hire some farmhands to take care of the fields. Then you can go with your mother to the warehouse in the city and put your fruit tree seedlings and wheat seeds there. I'll have someone move them."
In the next few days, Xie Wanxing and Xie Songlin became invisible people together. The father and daughter disappeared at the same time. They were busy in the space, selecting good wheat seeds and sorting out the fruit trees. The main thing was to choose some fruits that are currently available on the market. Some fruits that are not available in this era are not yet available, and they dare not take them out. Xie Songlin and his family have been staying here all the time, and taking out some unfamiliar fruits rashly may cause unnecessary trouble.
Xie Songlin didn't plan to tell this matter to Mr. Zhao for the time being. The drawings were still an easy excuse. Although Mr. Zhao was trustworthy, he was not a good farmer. He couldn't come up with a good reason to improve the wheat seeds for the time being.
Improving wheat seeds is not a trivial matter. It involves many complex factors and techniques. Neither he nor Xie Wanxing are sure whether this wheat seed can really produce as high a yield in the land outside as it does in space.
Xie Songlin sighed lightly and decided to keep the matter secret for the time being. After the experimental field results came out, he would decide whether to tell Mr. Zhao based on the actual situation.
Thinking about it this way, this matter is not so urgent. After all, there is still some time before spring planting. The canteen is now on track, and the two shops are running well. Everything is moving in the right direction.
Xie Songlin happily let go of his hand. He had been very idle recently, so he had more time to think about future plans and enjoy this rare leisure time. Recently, he mainly went up the mountain to find a place to plant fruit trees for Xie Wanxing. He also selected several pieces of land for comparison. According to the fertility of the soil and the distribution location, he carefully selected several as the control group, and planned to plant all his new wheat seeds in the spring.
Xie Lan and Xie Yuan have been very busy recently. Because the others are not very interested in studying, Shen Yuxi and Xie Songlin discussed and decided to put aside the others' schoolwork for the time being, and let Shen Yuxi spend all his time on Xie Lan and the other two, and fully help them prepare for the upcoming entrance examination of Hanfeng Academy.
Xie Lan and Xie Yuan knew very well how precious this opportunity was, and they dared not slack off in the slightest. Every day at dawn, they would sit at their desks, reciting the textbooks attentively, while Shen Yuxi would patiently explain the difficult points to them. He went to borrow a lot of exam papers from previous years from his classmates in the academy. Other subjects could be studied slowly after entering the academy, but for now, they had to master the most basic exam questions first.
They pondered every test question over and over again, striving to understand it thoroughly.
Cheng Hui looked at Xie Lan with some heartache. Knowing that he had a lot of schoolwork recently, she asked Li to prepare chicken soup every day. Whenever Xie Lan came back, she would usually give him a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
The steaming hot noodles, paired with the delicious chicken soup, made Xie Heng's mouth water. "Mom, I want to eat it too."
Xie Lin immediately followed up: "I want to, too."
"You guys aren't studying." Xie Wanxing blew on the noodles and glanced at him. "Eat less. Look how much weight you've gained."
Xie Heng listened and snorted at her unconvincedly: "You don't study, so how come you are eating?"
"I'm studying. Why wouldn't I study? Besides my eldest brother, I'm the most studious person in the family."
Xie Heng looked at her with suspicion: "I don't believe it. Are you really hiding in the house reading books every day, or not secretly eating delicious food?"
"Of course, my studies are much better than yours."
Xie Heng was speechless for a moment, unsure how to refute. After all, it was a fact that he was poor at schoolwork, and this made him feel a little frustrated. He looked at his younger sister's confident demeanor during class and couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that she really understood all the divine teachings that Mr. Shen was teaching?
Xie Heng and Xie Lin looked at each other and sighed helplessly. He was always confused every time he heard it.
"Alright, alright, eat yours." Cheng Hui smiled and tapped Xie Wanxing's forehead, "Don't bully the brothers."
"There's still extra in the kitchen. I'll ask Sister Li to make a bowl for both of you." After saying that, Cheng Hui went to the kitchen. Xie Heng and Xie Lin followed happily.
Under such strong tutoring, Xie Lan and Xie Yuan's progress was very obvious. Shen Yuxi gave them a mock test before the exam.
Shen Yuxi meticulously prepared this mock exam. He'd reviewed past exam questions, carefully studying the key points and question types, and combined them with the academy's current first-year curriculum. He'd racked his brains to create this. Every question had been carefully considered, designed to comprehensively test Xie Lan and Xie Yuan's learning.
When Xie Lan and Xie Yuan received the mock test paper, they knew that this was an important test and also a test of their efforts during this period. They took a deep breath, calmed their nervousness, and then concentrated on answering the questions.
Time passed minute by minute, their pen tips danced rapidly on the paper, and their thoughts continued to emerge like a spring. Sometimes they frowned in thought, and sometimes they wrote furiously, giving full play to the knowledge they had learned in recent days.
After the exam, Shen Yuxi immediately began grading their papers. His eyes moved rapidly across the papers, his heart filled with both nervousness and anticipation. As he continued grading, a smile of satisfaction gradually spread across his face.
