85 Find a Way to Get Through

“Since it’s hopeless, let’s cut them off! Unfortunately, this place was originally a sea of flowers in spring. It looked quite pleasing to the eye!” Luo Cheng said regretfully.

“We can plant other suitable fruit trees after we cut them off! These fruit trees aren’t suitable, but there must be suitable ones! However, I don’t plan to plant all of them. I just need to plant fruit trees in the outermost circle. Let’s use the land in the middle to plant vegetables and crops!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“Planting vegetables and crops? Are you sure? This piece of land isn’t small! If you only want to find something for Father-in-law to do, you might as well plant more than half of the fruit trees and leave the remaining small piece of land for Father-in-law to plant!” Luo Cheng suggested a different idea.

“Since I said that I want to farm, I want them to be different from other people’s crops!” Li Xiaoran raised her head and puffed out her chest. She said confidently, “Of course I have to do it well!”

Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Li Xiaoran’s confidence.

“Wife, why do you look so confident no matter what you do?! What else can you do?”

Li Xiaoran could tell that Luo Cheng didn’t think much of it. She glanced at him and said directly, “Husband, just wait and see! I’ll definitely make you see me in a new light!”

With that, Li Xiaoran walked around the orchard again.

One moment, he was squatting on the ground touching the ground with his hand, the next, he was moving stones in the orchard.

After the two of them walked around the orchard, Li Xiaoran already had an idea.

To be honest, although Li Xiaoran wasn’t very experienced in farming, thanks to the short videos in the modern world, as a foodie, she had learned a lot.

For example, the sugar storage of fruits had a lot to do with the light climate.

Only by cultivating suitable fruit trees could they produce delicious fruits.

In addition, being good at using graft technology was also very important.

However, most fruit trees needed several years to mature and harvest. Li Xiaoran didn’t want to waste her time waiting.

Therefore, they had to plant fruit trees, but not too many.

The remaining large piece of land naturally had to be used to plant suitable things.

Li Xiaoran looked at the ground and roughly distinguished the situation.

There were good and bad land.

Some fields were fertile and suitable for planting crops.

In some fields, there was more sand. It wasn’t suitable for planting vegetables and crops.

There were also some lands with more clay, so they had to choose suitable crops to plant.

They had to adapt to the environment.

This was why Li Xiaoran had walked through the entire orchard previously.

After returning to the house, Li Xiaoran wanted to find some pen and paper to write down her thoughts.

But when she wanted to ask Luo Cheng for a pen and paper, she remembered that she couldn’t read.

If she asked Luo Cheng for a pen and paper now, how could she explain that she could read?

At the thought of this, Li Xiaoran had a headache.

“What are you worried about?” Luo Cheng asked softly when he passed Li Xiaoran’s room and saw her frowning.

“I want to learn how to read!” Li Xiaoran said subconsciously.

“Oh, then I’ll teach you!” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was instantly enlightened.

That’s right! If she didn’t know how to read before, she could ask Luo Cheng to teach her!

As long as she pretended to learn it, she could write on her own in the future.

“Okay! Okay! Teach me now! I’m going to write a plan. Help me write it. I’ll be able to read and write!” Li Xiaoran’s eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Cheng expectantly.

Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to be so eager to learn how to read.

However, since Li Xiaoran wanted to learn, he was naturally willing to teach her.

Therefore, Luo Cheng went to his house and brought over a pen, ink, and paper. Then, he told Li Xiaoran to read and write.

“Husband, write down what I say first before teaching me how to read and write. How about that?” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and smiled slyly.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran’s smile and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

In the end, under Li Xiaoran’s pleading, Luo Cheng could only record it according to Li Xiaoran’s instructions.

“We can plant some watermelons, peanuts, soybeans, lettuce, and grapes on the sand.” Li Xiaoran explained as she sorted out her thoughts.

As Luo Cheng listened, he wrote down what Li Xiaoran had said on the paper.

“Clay is suitable for planting lotus roots, rice, sugarcane, aquatic plants, and so on!” Li Xiaoran continued after Luo Cheng finished writing.

“As for soil, it’s fertile and anything can be planted!” Li Xiaoran said.

Soon, Luo Cheng wrote down things that were suitable for planting in the three types of soils.

“So, you want to plant different things according to the characteristics of these soil?” After Luo Cheng finished writing, he already understood Li Xiaoran’s thoughts and asked.

“This is just a rough idea. As for what to plant, there are still many things to do! First, we have to have suitable seeds or saplings. Then, we have to see how to plant them!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “Don’t underestimate farming. There’s a lot of knowledge involved!”

Luo Cheng nodded in agreement when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“You’re right. Farming indeed concerns a lot of knowledge. If everyone could farm properly, then there wouldn’t be so many people who went hungry in the past!”

“That’s not because others didn’t farm well. The harvest has something to do with the heavens. It depends on the heavens. In other words, it’s the commoners who plant crops. In addition, the seeds of seedlings are also very important! Let’s not talk about anything else, just the rice! Some rice seeds aren’t good. A field can only produce a little bit of rice. However, some rice seeds are very good, and the output of an acre of land will greatly increase. The same goes for other crops! We have to choose the best seeds to increase the output so that the commoners can eat their fill!” Li Xiaoran said righteously.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked up with surprise in his eyes.

“Wife, why do you know so much?”

...

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately reacted.

Oh no, she had gotten a little carried away again!

She was acting like a smarty pants again! How should she explain this?!

“Don’t tell me you saw all this when you were empathizing with others.” Luo Cheng said.
