Xiao Yuxi’s face had become aghast when she heard Xiao Qingya’s thoughts. She broke into cold sweat and secretly peeked at their mother’s face rather nervously.

Little Ya has been led astray by her!

She noticed Xiao Yuyan’s stare. Although it was somewhat innocent, she still felt embarrassed. Meanwhile, their second brother was more expressive. He directly gave her an accusing look.

Awkwardly, she looked away. She cleared her throat. "Little Ya, how is the food?"

She had to try to distract this little one at all cost!

Xiao Qingya bobbed her small head up and down. She wasn’t stingy with her praise. "Delicious."

Inwardly, she was still thinking about the right time she should start rolling on the ground.

Zhou Anran became worried. Originally, they hadn’t planned to go to the fields, wanting to accompany Xiao Qingya at home. The incident where she was kidnapped had truly given them the fright and trauma.

However, the little one seemed indignant that she was forbidden to join them last time. She kept bringing it up in her mind.

She was usually so obedient, yet from her inner thoughts, they found out she was actually such a stubborn little one.

"Eat more, which dish do you like the most?" Xiao Yuxi asked her again, determined to stop her little sister.

Xiao Qingya blinked and shook her head. "It’s enough, full."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yuxi was a little panicked. She nudged her second brother beside her with the face asking for help. He was usually the most experienced in coaxing Xiao Qingya.

Xiao Fenghao glanced at his little sister, spotting the herbal paste on her neck, arms, and some small spot on her face. If she were to roll on the floor, would it aggravate her injury?

"Mother, are we going to the fields today?" He started, asking their mother first.

He guessed that as long as their mother told them they weren’t going today, Xiao Qingya would give up.

Fortunately, Zhou Anran cooperated with him. "We will not be going today. Let’s take some rest. We will go tomorrow."

Xiao Qingya’s little face fell, a little disappointed. She hadn’t considered this and immediately felt bad. It was good she hadn’t started rolling on the ground. Otherwise, her effort would have gone to waste.

The family spent their day watering the plants around the house. Xiao Fenghao brought a few wooden buckets of water from the river while the women watered them.

They never let Xiao Qingya out of their sight, of course.

A few days ago, Xiao Fenghao started to plant some mulberry cuttings on the ground, hoping they would grow. He had found some mulberry trees after going deep into the back mountain.

Other than that, they also had a young peach tree planted by their father who had gone missing. Every day, Zhou Anran never forgot to water this particular tree.

The small garden beside their house could fit a lot of plants, particularly soybeans.

"Mother, in a week, we might be able to harvest the soybeans," Xiao Yuyan muttered softly after she inspected the young soybean pods on her hands.

They could make some delicious dishes with it once they mature, or even grind the beans inside into flour.

Xiao Qingya came over like a small penguin, inspecting the soybean pods with Xiao Yuyan.

[System, there is a booster for better harvest, right?]

She wondered whether she should buy that booster for these plants right now. However, the system disagreed.

[Focus on the crops at the fields, Host. These soybeans are a week away from maturing. You will be wasting your booster. By the time the nutrients are completely absorbed, the soybeans would all have been harvested.]

Xiao Qingya nodded seriously, slowly learning from the System.

Nevertheless, she also considered using the booster on other plants later once she could buy it. Her current choice was pesticide or booster. She could only choose one, unfortunately, getting a low-level item.

She had never looked forward to the missions as much as she did now. After all, each mission always gave her useful points.

The day passed in an uneventful manner.

The person Zhou Wenzhi had hired to change the lock on his daughter’s house also had arrived and finished yesterday. He wanted to make sure that his daughter and her kids get a new lock for the sake of safety.

The next day, Xiao Qingya woke up early in the morning. Since her mother had said that they would go to the field today, she was also determined to go.

She wanted to see how effective her second brother’s scarecrows were. Only then would she be able to make a decision whether she should pick booster or pesticide.

Although the effect on chasing away the birds wasn’t that optimal, it was worth a try. After all, it was only a low-level product. It was still better than nothing. Moreover, too much change also wasn’t good. Other people were bound to notice the strangeness sooner or later.

"Mother, I go." Xiao Qingya stuck to her mother, hugging her legs as soon as they finished breakfast.

Her eyes sparkled as she begged to join them.

Zhou Anran already anticipated Xiao Qingya would make such a request. She reached to stoke her daughter’s hair.

"Alright, Little Ya can go with us."

The little one was slightly dumbfounded. She had prepared to roll over the floor, yet before she could sprang into action, her mother actually agreed.

So easy?

"Really?" Xiao Qingya blinked.

A hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she studied her mother’s face, wondering what had made her change her mind.

"Little Ya can ride on my back so you won’t be tired." Xiao Fenghao muttered, taking the little one into his arms. The others also prepared their necessities.

Seeing that Zhou Anran was serious, Xiao Qingya was a little stumped, but she thought it was also good. It had saved her from the trouble.

This time, they divided the people into two groups. Two people would go to the river to get the water and the other two stayed in the fields. Xiao Qingya was really looking forward to it.
