Her Cultivation Diary

For example, Qiaoqiao's friend from Qin City, Yang Zhengxi, this kid's already allowed to operate an excavator, one minute wanting strawberries, the next wanting watermelons...

Forget it, forget it.

Just...

"I really miss my lovely Rich Qianqian."

Xin Jun:...

Wu Lan happened to overhear this and asked: "Xin Jun, even Yanping has a partner, why don't you find someone? What kind do you want?"

Xin Jun cleared his throat: "Beautiful, smart, and kind-hearted."

Wu Lan immediately felt a bit regretful: "I know some who are beautiful and kind-hearted, but you also want them to be smart... sigh."

She sighed, obviously feeling regretful.

Lun Chuan realized it and instinctively looked at Song Tan, who was puzzled for a moment—why look at her? Xin Jun couldn't possibly like her? You can't hide it when you like someone.

She hadn't noticed at all.

Lun Chuan felt quite helpless, and softly said: "Wu Ling."

Song Tan:...!

Looking at Wu Lan again, she really was sincerely regretful, she really was thinking of Wu Ling!

"That is really a shame." Song Tan also commented earnestly.

...

Wu Ling didn't know someone was regretting her love life; she just felt that this winter holiday was unbearably hard.

If she had known earlier, she would have rather gone out to work. Even being a server at a milk tea shop would be better—anything beats chopping feed at home, right?!

During this festive season, people are either visiting relatives or hosting gatherings; but what about her?

Disheveled, wearing an old coat, sitting on a small stool, with one hand holding a knife and the other pressing on the dry feed.

The last time she had this memory was chopping cabbage stems to feed chickens and ducks as a kid.

Beside her, Wu Lei was sawing tree trunks while directing her:

"Ling'er, don't chop the dry feed into unequal lengths. The cows will end up picking the fine bits, which makes it easy for their diet to be unbalanced."

Wu Ling puffed up her cheeks in anger: "Beef is so tasty, how could it be unbalanced? They're not picky eaters at all."

"How are they not picky? They certainly are!"

Wu Lei, now quite experienced, said: "I watch the CCTV Agriculture Channel every day. There's a program about cattle raising, and it's very detailed."

"There was a family whose cow only ate high-quality feed and wasn't fattening up; they spent a lot on experts."

Alright, alright, you watch a lot of TV, you have a point, but...

"Why don't we buy a machine to chop the feed?"

This...

Wu Lei became silent all of a sudden.

Because his dad, Wu Chenghai, had said that when starting out, nothing is stable, and we should take small steps first.

Why build the cowshed with such a fancy steel frame structure?

Why not just work a bit harder and chop the feed ourselves? Spring is coming soon; how long can the cows eat dry feed?

By the end of the year, when everything is on track, it won't be too late to buy machines.

Look, Wu Chenghai is responsible for selecting suitable trees from their forest and sawing them back home, while Wu Lei is in charge of the upkeep at home.

The big aunt wasn't idle either, as she went to even out the land for the cattle pen.

All things considered, Wu Ling's work was actually the easiest.

But...

"Brother, can't you open a cattle ranch like Tantan's house does? It looks so grand!"

"The beef and mutton raised at home must be especially delicious! Just like the pork at Song Tan's house, it smells so good..."

"And the scenery by the Riverside Beach."

"Mandarin ducks, reeds, green lotus, herds of cattle and sheep, blue sky and white clouds... Wow! I could even bring my classmates here to play."

Wu Lei suddenly felt proud:

"Right? Isn't it beautiful? I cleaned all that up shovelful by shovelful!"

"You wouldn't believe it, the cows and sheep poop everywhere. I was even planning a trip to the prairie with Lili before, but seeing how the cows and sheep eat while pooping, I guess it's all the same on the prairie too."

But after the imaginings were over, and Lili was no longer involved, Wu Lei just sighed:

"Dad said to start by raising a few to test it out. That way if we lose money, it's bearable, and we can take better care of them ourselves."

But Wu Ling's mind was already elsewhere.

She only caught on to another point—

"Oh you! Do you know how much a trip to the prairie costs? How can you spend money like that?"

She extended her hand: "Compensate my phone money! I want to go to the prairie too!"

Just then, the big aunt walked in with a hoe, and hearing this said: "Prairie? Do I look like the prairie to you? You two really have wild imaginations—and you, Lingling, why are you slacking off on chopping the feed?"
