After careful consideration, Luobi was now completely certain that the problem lay with the ash from the medicinal residue.
Her family had a planting field, and to ensure they could eat nutritious ingredients, Luobi would plant upland rice every year. Although the yield was extremely low, the results were always normal. However, once she mixed in the ash from the medicinal residue, things changed. It was strange if this wasn't due to the ash from the medicinal residue.
Knowing the cause, Luobi sighed. Even if the ash from the medicinal residue could nourish the soil and promote plant growth, it was too little. Even when mixed with the soil, there was only a small amount in the cardboard box. As the fruit seedlings grew, a single fruit tree couldn't develop properly.
Who has ever seen a large fruit tree growing in a small cardboard box? This was unrealistic.
Thinking about it now was pointless. The first priority was to transplant the fruit seedlings from the cardboard box. They were already squeezed and leaning to one side. Who knew what they would look like after another half day?
Before transplanting, Luobi opened an umbrella and carefully examined the red fruit seedlings in the planting field. The young seedlings were still the same size as when they were transplanted this morning, with wet leaves and branches bent by the rain. After just one day, it was hard to tell if the roots were dead or alive.
The leaves hadn't wilted, and Luobi felt a bit helpless. Regardless of whether the transplanted seedlings were dead or alive, the seedlings in the cardboard box had to be moved to the planting field. If they died due to insufficient nutrients, it would be a loss.
There was no shovel at home, but this didn't bother Luobi. She took a spatula from the kitchen and dug holes with one hand holding the umbrella. The rain was heavy, making loud noises on the umbrella. Luobi struggled to dig the holes, not caring about the spacing, as long as it seemed about right.
Luobi was always cautious. She didn't dare to transplant all fourteen fruit seedlings, fearing that if they didn't grow well and died, she would have no backup. She initially planned to leave two, but after some thought, she left three, transplanting the other eleven to the large balcony planting field.
After doing all this, Luobi was exhausted. She dragged her heavy feet to take a shower and fell asleep immediately.
Feng Ling returned from the combat department and, seeing Luobi sleeping soundly, decided to take a shower and join her in bed.
Luobi had already slept for a while and woke up when Feng Ling held her in his arms. She opened her eyes and said, "You're back."
Feng Ling kissed the corner of her mouth, "Mm, sleep a bit more."
Luobi closed her eyes but opened them again after a while, "I can't sleep."
Feng Ling looked at her, and Luobi hesitated for a moment, "I heard that military families can apply for three acres of planting fields. I want to apply for one."
Feng Ling had heard a few words when Luobi inquired from Pei Yu. Seeing Luobi bring it up, he said, "Nutritious crops are hard to grow, and farming is very labor-intensive. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Luobi knew how tiring farming could be. When Feng Ling asked, she hesitated.
Feng Ling chuckled, "You're different from Yang Yu's wife. I can support you, and I'm willing to. You don't have to do those things."
There was a clear meaning behind his words. Luobi looked up, "Yang Yu doesn't treat Pei Yu well?"
Feng Ling didn't want to say much about other people's affairs, but he replied, "It's not that he treats her badly. The difference in status and tastes can create rifts between couples. Pei Yu does farm work all day, and Yang Yu looks down on it, unwilling to live with her."
"If Yang Yu looks down on Pei Yu doing farm work, then he shouldn't let her do it. It would be better if he supported her." Luobi understood. Yang Yu was a promising captain, while Pei Yu spent her days around the planting field. Not only did she look unattractive, but she had no special skills, which made Yang Yu feel disdainful.
