Chapter 23
Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong were standing beside, watching them drink grape juice. They stared at them and looked very pitifully. Xiao Jingting let them take a sip of grapes juice to relish the flavor but he didn’t expect it made the two kids crave for more.
Xu Muan couldn’t stand their greedy look and drove them to sleep.
Xiao Xiaofan sat on the bed and rubbed his feet, full of exasperation, “Daddy and father are getting more and more stingy.”
Xiao Xiaofan was very aggrieved. In the past, his father hid the delicious food and ate it himself. Now, his Daddy also eats delicious food with father, butthey were driven to bed.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaofan and hummed, “It’s a pity that we don’t have much strength. That’s why we can only eat less, and if we eat more, we will only get sick. When I grow up, my strength will also rise and I will be able to eat a lot more. Poor thing, I’ve been teaching you for so long, but you still haven’t even gotten any progress yet, so you can only continue to eat little.”
Xiao Xiaofan was full of surprise and looked at Xiao Xiaodong, pouting, and it looked like he was about to cry.
Xiao Xiaodong said coldly, “It’s useless for you to look at me like that.”
Xiao Xiaofan was unable to practice, which was the biggest concern of Xu Muan.Xiao Xiaodong would also urge Xiao Xiaofan to work harder when he was free. He would teach Xiao Xiaofan step by step,but Xiao Xiaofan still had been unable to get started.
Xiao Xiaofan blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiaodong with a pale face, but Xiao Xiaodong was not moved.
Xiao Xiaofan pouted, crossed his legs, and started cultivating according to Xiao Xiaodong’s method.
After a few moments, Xiao Xiaodong was somewhat surprised to discover that he actually sensed Qi from Xiao Xiaofan body.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Xiaofan and stared at him with eyes full of amazement, before, he had spent so much effort, but Xiao Xiaofan still didn’t make any progress. But now he could feel the Qin in his body. It turned out that when it came to food, this boy could make some advance.
In fact, Xiao Xiaofan got enlightened not all because of the food. Xiao Xiaofan recently ate a lot of good food and his body was full of spiritual energy. Now when Xiao Xiaodong’s words provoked him just now, he naturally felt the Qi.
Xu Muan touched his stomach when he was full and thought to himself, The qi I absorbed after eating a meal like that is equivalent to what I had absorbed for dozens of days.
“Daddy, father, brother become enlightened.” Xiao Xiaodong tugged on Xu Muan hand.
Xu Muan’s eyes brightened as he glanced at Xiao Xiaodong’s body.
“Daddy, did you see that?”
“Yes, I saw it.” Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaofan, only to feel that good things were coming one after another recently, if, it could go on like this forever, then he would be forever on cloud nine.

“Uncle Li, I’ll trouble you again.” Xu Muan said to Li Sheng.
Li Sheng shook his head and said, “It’s okay, my pleasure, I’m making a living for this.”
Because there was a bit too much stuff, Xu Muan directly rented Li Sheng ox cart for a whole day this time.
“Are you going to sell the newly harvested grain?” Li Sheng asked.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes!”
“Where is your husband? Why didn’t he come with you?” Li Sheng asked.
“He went to the farm.” Xu Muan said.
Li Sheng was filled with gratification, “Your husband now entrusts you with the matters of selling grain. It is evident that he trusts you.”
Xu Muan smiled faintly.
Li Sheng looked at Xu Muan’s smile, nodded and said, “That is right, families are supposed to support each other.”
Li Sheng grabbed a handful of grain and was filled with wonder, “It’s indeed the spirit grain grown by a third level Qi Practitioner. The quality of this spirit grain is extraordinary.”
Xu Muan smiled, he also felt that the grains grown by Xiao Jingting was of high quality and this batch wasn’t even the best one, the best ones were left at home.
Xiao Jingting said that the best should be left for his own family to eat, and Xu Muan felt that the quality of the grains planted by Xiao Jingting was so good and it did not look like it was planed on the low- grade field so he agreed to Xiao Jingting’s idea of leaving the best grain at home for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
“From what I hear, your husband has changed a lot lately.” Li Sheng said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “He has changed a lot.”
“Good for him. If he has the ability to grow crops, he won’t need to worry about earning enough money, right?”
Xu Muan bowed his head and could not help feeling a little uneasy. Xiao Jingting made too many mistakes in the past, but now Xiao Jingting was too good. It was common to have three wives and four concubines in this Wasteland.
The first time they arrived in Mound Village, many people wanted to be a matchmaker for Xiao Jingting. Later, when those people saw that Xiao Jingting was acting badly, no one came to visit them anymore. If their life turned better in the future, those people would come back again.
Xu Mu shook his head and drove out the bad ideas from his mind.
Xu Muan sold the spirit crops and returned home. He handed over 22 taels of silver to Xiao Jingting, saying, “Crops were sold for 26 taels of silver, I spent 4 taels of silver for earthworms, so here is 22 taels of silver left.”
Xiao Jingting took the money and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Xu Muan shook his head and said, “It’s all right, it’s not hard at all. By the way, when I went to the street, several people saw me and ordered grapes from me.”
“Ordered grapes?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes, many of the people who bought grapes yesterday still want to buy some more grapes. The grapes from Yuehe Restaurant are very expensive, and there are many people who bought grapes from us yesterday. Many people know that the grapes from Yuehe Restaurant are from us, so…”
Xiao Jingting thought for a moment and said, “I see. If someone needs more, we can sign a long-term contract at a cheaper price.”
