"An An! Feet! Dirty!"

She tried her best to use exaggerated facial expressions to get An An to stop eating her feet. As a result, Ning Ning's attention was attracted and she followed suit, lifting her own feet and putting them in her mouth.

Yu Ruyue and Liang Shulan closed their eyes, feeling helpless. When Shen Chou came through the dog hole again, he got a pair of little babies biting their feet.

Shen Chou frowned, looking at An An and Ning Ning sleeping on the small bed next to Yu Ruyue. He reached out and took their feet out of his mouth, "No!"

As a result, the two of them didn't cry or make a fuss, but simply picked up the other foot and stuffed it into their mouth again.

The neat movements and the expression of complete disregard made Shen Chou laugh, but he had no choice but to take off his coat silently and get into Yu Ruyue's quilt with ease.

Yu Ruyue felt the feeling of being shackled again. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the handsome face so close to her again.

"Were you scared last night? I heard you braved the rain to protect the rice seedlings with them. Do you feel unwell? Don't do such dangerous things yourself in the future. Otherwise, why don't you come back with me? That way I can protect you at all times!"

Yu Ruyue was sure that she was not dreaming. She turned over and hugged Shen Chou's waist, burying her head in his arms. "Don't worry! I'm fine. I just scared An An and Ning Ning."

When the two children were mentioned, Shen Chou was speechless. "What's wrong with them? I just saw them eating happily with their feet in their hands."

Yu Ruyue was surprised. "What!? These two kids are awake!? I just saw them close their eyes and fall asleep! But, for some reason, these two kids suddenly became obsessed with chewing their toes, and I can't stop them!"

Shen Chou touched Yu Ruyue's face with a distressed look, and didn't continue talking about the foot-biting incident. "Thank you for your hard work. By the way, why did you put the child in your own room?"

Yu Ruyue sighed, "They started crying whenever the nanny held them. I was so scared yesterday that I thought of putting them next to me. But I was afraid that I wouldn't sleep well and would crush the two children, so I put them in the crib next to me!"

Shen Chou held her in his arms and chattered for a long time. The two of them teased An An and Ning Ning for a while, and only after confirming that they were really asleep this time did they go to bed and hugged each other to sleep.

The same thing happened for the next two days.

Finally, the fields outside were almost dried up by the sun, and Yu Ruyue took out ten bags of colorful corn seeds. These ten bags of seeds were enough to plant ten acres of land.

Liang Shulan opened the seeds and poured them into the winnowing basket next to her.

After the Minister of Agriculture came over, she went out to find Yang Danniu, Wu Chang and others. They stayed in the house and started to select the seeds.

Pick out the broken ones and the ones that look bad!

After everything was picked, Liang Shulan and her daughter took everyone to the land that had been reserved. The other farmers were already waiting in the fields early.

Yu Ruyue looked at the ten acres of land that had been divided into ridges according to Yu Ruyue's requirements.

Liang Shulan nodded with satisfaction.

Yu Ruyue picked up a hoe and began to demonstrate.

She dug a small hole, placed a seed in it, covered it with soil, and stepped on it gently with her foot. "Don't dig too deep, just put one seed in each hole, and step on it gently. If you step on it too hard or plant it too deep, the seed will be stuck inside and won't sprout."

The farmers nodded quickly, but they were all a little scared when they looked at the colorful seeds.

"Ma'am, why are these seeds so colorful? Red, blue, and green? Can the things that grow from them really be eaten?"

"What is this seed? Will the color of the thing that grows out be as colorful as these seeds?"

"Madam! Why do these seeds look like they are poisonous?"

The farmers nearby were also full of doubts!

"Ma'am, please don't be angry. We are not asking these questions out of fear of being tired. We are just worried that you will be cheated by those seed sellers."

"People who sell seeds these days are all really mean. Two years ago, I went to town and said I wanted to sell squash, but he gave me a winter melon!"

When it comes to those seed sellers, everyone gets very angry. "Yeah! Those people are making money with dirty tricks. They even use old seeds as this year's seeds to increase the price!"

Yu Ruyue smiled and reassured, "Don't worry, everyone. These seeds are safe. The things that grow out of them won't be this color. They're coated with an insect repellent to prevent them from being eaten by bugs underground before they sprout."

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, "Madam, is there such a good thing?"

"How come we've never heard of it before? If it really exists, can rice and corn seeds also be wrapped in it?"

Yu Ruyue nodded, "In principle, it is possible, but the outer layer is very particular. It cannot harm the seeds themselves and must be pest-proof. Our country's current technology cannot do this. We also buy these seeds from the other side of the sea at a high price.

When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with disappointment!

Yu Ruyue smiled and clapped her hands. "Don't be discouraged, everyone. As long as we grow these things and study them carefully, we may be able to develop this kind of medicine."

Shaoqing Si Nong clenched the pen in his hand and said encouragingly, "Madam is right. As long as we don't give up and study hard, we will definitely be able to figure it out."

After listening to the two people's words, everyone instantly became confident again and immediately divided the work. One person was responsible for digging holes, one was responsible for putting seeds, and another was responsible for buying soil and flattening it!

Because there were only ten acres of corn fields, and the farmers gathered here were able to cultivate a hundred acres of fertile land, everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other, and in less than a day, they finished planting all ten acres of corn.

The next day, Yu Ruyue took out potatoes and sweet potatoes again!

Everyone gathered around curiously again. Si Nong Shaoqing took the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands, looked left and right, but couldn't make out anything.

"Ma'am, what is this?"

"How come we've never seen these two things before!?"

Yu Ruyue explained, "This red one is called a sweet potato, and the other yellow one is called a potato. These two are also foods that can fill your stomach. They were all brought back from the other side of the sea."

The Minister of Agriculture asked curiously, "Madam! These things have sprouted. Can we still eat them? Besides, aren't we going to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes? Where are the seeds?"

Liang Shulan picked up a sprouted potato with a smile, and took a kitchen knife from the side. Then she gently chopped the potato with the knife, broke it hard, and a piece of potato with sprouts fell into the basket next to her.

The movement was so smooth and fluid that it made people around him feel so distressed.

"Madam! What are you doing?"

Liang Shulan explained with a smile, "This is potato seed. Just follow my instructions and plant it in the ground like you would corn."
