“Don’t worry,” Yu Hongyan continued, “Zi Cui and the others are following them. Hehua and Aunt Xiao promised us before they left that they would walk slowly and not go too far. If they feel uncomfortable, they will come back immediately. Their bellies are getting really big. THey know themselves best and know when to stop.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yue replied. Then, she glanced at Xue Yan.
The Empress had changed so much because of Xue Yan. Fortunately, it was a good change.
Since it was a good change, Xue Yan was naturally at ease too,
Ever since he was reborn, he did not ask for anything else but for the people he cared about to be well for the rest of their lives.
“Then what about Father and Mother?” Xue Yan asked immediately after.
Yu Hongyan smiled and said, “They went to prepare the soil. Didn’t they already prepare the seedling fields? They felt that the seeds of tomatoes, strawberries, lemons, watermelons, and so on could be sown and raised there. So they left early in the morning to prepare the soil.
“They planned to sow all the seeds that were left last year and see how many of them could germinate and grow into seedlings.
“Other than giving some seedlings to the villagers, our family kept some to plant the rest ourselves. Anyway, our family has more land this year. We have more than a hundred acres of land. There will definitely be enough land to plant all these seeds.
“By the way, Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, do you still want that acre of strawberry plants? If you don’t want it, you have to let them know. You came back just in time, so we don’t have to go to town to ask you about this.”
Unlike the tomatoes planted last year, the plants would die soon after the fruits were picked. It was considered an annual herb. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan removed the tomato plants that had lost their fruits.
At that time, Shao Shuting even helped.
However, strawberries were different. The strawberries planted last year were still alive and were perennials. Moreover, strawberries could be raised not only by seeds but also by splitting a strawberry in half and planting it.
Xue Yan knew that Jiang Yue already had plans for this; so he looked to Jiang Yue for answers.
Jiang Yue was not st*pid enough to say that she had replaced the seeds of tomatoes, strawberries, and other things that were left at home last year with the new seeds that she took out from her space. Instead, she said, “1 planted them last year and they are still alive. Those strawberries should bear fruit this year. It’s better not to get rid of them. Let them continue to grow.
“Moreover, I’ve seen those strawberries grow roots under their branches. Perhaps we can plant them separately. One plant can be divided into several plants. By then, we can plant a few more acres of strawberries at home.”
“That’s right!” Yu Hongyan immediately agreed. “It must be a perennially grown one. Otherwise, how could it still be so alive? It will definitely bear fruit this year! I’ve looked before too and there were roots growing under the vines of that acre of strawberry plants. I saw it too! It’s the same as gardenia.
“It seems that it can be planted by layering them on top of each other. Mother also saw it. At that time, she told me that there are many other roots growing on the branches and vines of one plant.
“Each plant can indeed be divided into several plants to grow. There’s no need to use seeds to raise seedlings. We can just cut them down and plant them like this. That’s great. We can plant them separately if we want to. We can definitely grow a lot of strawberries this year!’
At this moment, Xue Erfu and Xue Yifu had already unloaded the carriage and sent the horses into the stable. When they heard this, they smiled and said, “Of course, it’s good to be able to split the seeds, that will make things easier for us. Alright, quickly carry Xue Shi in. Don’t stand at the door. It’s getting pretty chilly out here with the won’t. We don’t want the children to catch a cold..
