Therefore, peanuts were generally dug into small pits, and two peanut seeds were directly planted in each small pit, then covered with soil. There was no need to grow seedlings at all. It was even easier to sow the seeds of the sesame seed. She just had to make the ground fertile, spread the seeds evenly, and then cover it with a thin layer of soil with a rake.

If she were to replace the peanuts and sesame seeds with the seedlings that she had grown in her s.p.a.ce one by one, it would take too long.

Moreover, there was a time period for transplanting. If they took too long, they would miss this period and the best growth period for these crops would be lost. No matter how good the seeds were, the seedlings would not have a good harvest in the end.

Therefore, Jiang Yue made up her mind.

Only the seedlings in the sorghum, corn, and cotton fields would be changed. Forget about the sesame and peanut seeds. Next year, the seeds of the sesame and peanut seeds would be directly changed when she gets the chance.

Jiang Yue followed Xue Yan and walked along the mountain path. After making a turn, they arrived at the left side of the mountain and saw Xue Dafu and the others.

Other than Xue Wufu, Xue Dafu, Xue yihu, li Hehua, and Xue Erfu were all present.

Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu were in front, pulling the plow with ropes tied around them like cows. Li Hehua was behind, supporting the plow with great difficulty.

This acre of wasteland was actually about to be opened up. The gra.s.s and roots had finally been dug out and cleaned up. Now, all that was left was to till the soil. When the soil gets tilled, that means that they can finally get to work.

However, the soil was too hard, and it was difficult for one person to pull the plow. There were no cows at home, so three strong laborers had to pull it at the same time. The plow barely entered the soil and slowly moved forward.

It looked tiring.

Jiang Yue subconsciously wanted to help.

However, she knew that Xue Yan didn’t want his family to find out that something was wrong with her. He was just trying to protect Xue Dafu and the others so that they wouldn’t be frightened. After all, not everyone was as brave as him.

Moreover, the people here were really superst.i.tious. With such a sudden change in her, it was very likely that they would think that she was possessed by a ghost and do something to her.

When she had beaten up Jiang’s family, they had thought that she had been possessed by a ghost. That was why they had been so afraid.

Even now, Jiang’s family still dared not to say that she was the one who hit her.

Anyway, it was obvious that Xue Yan was protecting her.

However, to be honest, she didn’t need such protection at all in the beginning because she wasn’t afraid. Now that she had gone home with Xue Dafu and become a part of his family, she couldn’t ignore those who treated her well.

She would try her best to hide her abnormality. With this thought in mind, Jiang Yue naturally did not go over to help pull the plow, but still followed Xue Yan like a child.

“Father.” Xue Yan’s shout allowed Xue Dafu and the others to notice them.

“What are you guys doing here?” Xue Dafu immediately grinned.

“Mother said that she left the hoe in the ditch below. She was afraid that you didn’t know, so she asked me to bring it back. Also, she’s almost done with dinner.”

“Alright, alright, alright.” Xue Dafu stopped pulling the plow. He turned to Xue Yifu and the others and said, “That’s all for today. We’ll do it another day tomorrow, and we’ll probably be able to plant beans the day after. Pack your things and let’s go home. ”

Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Xue Erfu all agreed.
