Starting Farming

"Here is a deposit for you." Xiao Jing ting gave Xiao dong a steamed stuffed bun.

Xiao fan looked at the steamed bun in Xiao dong's hand and gulped down his own saliva.

Xiao dong was about to give the steamed stuffed bun in his hand to Xiao fan, when Xiao Jing ting handed a steamed stuffed bun to Xiao fan.

"I'm giving this to Xiao fan. It is not including in the promised three." Xiao Jing ting didn't look at Xiao dong as he rubbed Xiao fan's head and said in a flat tone.

As soon as Xiao fan received the bun, he took a big bite and ate it while smiling stupidly at Xiao Jing ting.

Xiao dong gave Xiao Jing ting a strange look and his mood become very complicated. Xiao Jing ting had always had a better attitude towards him than towards his younger brother. Although he was no better than his younger brother, his main attribute was wood, and he looked like Xiao Jing ting. Xiao Jing ting did not doubt that he was his son, but his younger brother was different.

His younger brother not only had a brain problem but also had the main attribute of fire, which was just like his daddy's. Moreover, because of his brain problem, he couldn't cultivate at all, so Xiao Jing ting's attitude towards his younger brother had been very bad.

Looking at the change in Xiao Jing ting's attitude towards his younger brother, Xiao dong was relieved but had mixed feelings.

"Are you going to visit the field?" Xiao dong asked.

"Yes." Xiao Jing ting nodded.

"There is nothing in your field," Xiao dong explained.

Xiao Jing ting was stunned. He had only thought of going to the field to have a look. He had completely forgotten that the eldest young mast didn't farm at all, so the field should be bare now.

"So, let's go to the street and buy some seeds first?" Xiao Jing ting asked tentatively.

Hearing about going to the street, Xiao fan's eyes become bright and Xiao dong was also very excited, but in a flash, Xiao dong threw this idea away.

Xiao dong wasn't sure how long Xiao Jing ting's "conversation" would last. He was very worried about who Xiao Jing ting could encounter on the street. If Xiao Jing ting met some of his wily friends and was bullied, he might sell him and his brother.

"There should be extra seeds in the village head's house. I heard that he planned to sell them in a few days. You can go the village head's house and buy them. It will be cheaper than going to the store, and its not far away," Xiao dong suggested.

"Then go with me," Xiao Jing ting conceded.

Xiao Jing ting had the impression that the village head of Mound Village was pretty fair in his dealings and a person who very much despised what Xiao Jing ting had done to Xu Muan and sympathized with his two children.

Xiao dong nodded his head and responded, "Fine."

Xiao fan's footsteps were slow and Xiao Jing ting could not wait, so he picked Xiao fan up. Xiao fan was silly and was very happy in Xiao Jing ting's arms. When Xiao Jing ting held Xiao fan in his arms, Xiao dong's eyes became more and more strange as he looked at Xiao Jing ting.

The village head of Mound Village was called Ding Hong, and looked very majestic.

Ding Hong was in his forties and was also a Level 3 Qi Practitioner. His cultivation was already very exceptional for this village.

Xiao Jing ting suddenly remembered that the original owner was also an expert in the village. Although the original body owner didn't like cultivating, he was the young master of a big family, after all. In the original owner's family, he was forced to focus on training. Although the cultivation of the original body owner was not as good as the cultivation of those geniuses from the big families, it was much better than that of the villagers of the same age in the village.

"Buy seeds?" Ding Hong looked at Xiao Jing ting in surprise.

Xiao dong nodded and said: "Yes."

"What and how many seeds do you want to buy?" Ding Hong asked.

"For about five mu of field," Xiao dong said.

Ding Hong's eyes flashed with contempt. Xiao Jing ting realized that Ding Hong and the other villagers from Earth Mound Village attached great importance to the field, so Xiao Jing ting's behavior of selling the land was very annoying.

Ding Hong took two bags of seeds and said, "Two liang of silver."

Xiao Jing ting thanked him, took out two liang of silver and gave it to Ding Hong.

Xiao dong pulled at Xiao Jing ting's sleeve and said, "The field has been abandoned for a long time. You'd better turn it over. Grandpa Ding has a very powerful earthworm."

Xiao Jing ting did not understand. Ding Hong took a look at Xiao dong and stipulated to Xiao Jing ting coldly, "I rent out one for two hundred copper coins."

Xiao Jing ting gave Ding Hong four liang of silver: two for the seeds and two as deposit for the earthworms. When they returned the earthworm, they could get back one liang of silver and 200 copper coins. When others rented the earthworms to turn the ground they wouldn't need to pay such a high deposit. Obviously, Ding Hong did not trust Xiao Jing ting very much.

Xiao Jing ting did not know how to use earthworm but Xiao dong volunteered to say that he knew, so he gave the bamboo tube with the earthworms to Xiao dong.

The three of them walked a long way before reaching the location of the field.

Xiao Jing ting squinted his eyes. The field was provided by the family, and he didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the location of the field was very far from the residence, and the original owner was most afraid of trouble. If the field was so far away, how could the original body owner be willing to plant it? In any case, it was better to be given a field than not to be given a field at all.
