The Blessed Farm Girl Has a Spatial Storage

Wei Shulan nodded. "I think it's fine."

Zhao Yue had a disgusted expression on his face.

Qiao Muchen fell into deep thought for a moment, then asked, "What should I name my dog? Tongtong, help me think of something."

Zhao Zhitong pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "How about... Shan Dian?"

"Huh?"

The other children all looked at Zhao Zhitong, unable to understand her reasoning.

Zhao Zhitong blinked and looked at Qiao Muchen. "Didn't you say your dog runs really fast? Then call it Shan Dian; it has to run as fast as lightning!"

The four little friends chatted and laughed as they left the school.

They had barely reached the entrance when a cacophony of loud voices suddenly approached them.

"Little cousin!"

"Little cousin, over here, over here!"

...

Then, several figures, like tiny cannonballs, rushed toward them.

Seeing the newcomers, Zhao Zhitong's eyes lit up. She excitedly ran over to them and said, "Big cousin, second cousin... How did you all get here?"

Sun Daqing replied smugly, "We're here to pick you up from school, of course!"

Sun Daji said cheerfully, "Let's go, little cousin! We'll go home and then check the fruit tree saplings in the field!"

Zhao Zhitong agreed excitedly, "Okay!"

Then, remembering something, she said to her older cousins, "Wait for me, I'll go tell my friends."

She then ran over to Qiao Muchen and the others, saying, "I can't write with you today. My older cousins are here."

With reluctance, Qiao Muchen nodded. "Alright, we'll read together again tomorrow."

"Okay," Zhao Zhitong agreed, nodding. After waving goodbye to her three friends, she ran off towards home with her older cousins.

When they got home, Zhao Zhitong found out that all the fruit tree saplings had already been planted.

Now that she attended school every day, she couldn't participate in many household chores. But that didn't stop her from going to see the results of their labor.

So, she went with her cousins to the orchard.

Zhao Dong, worried about the group of children going alone, went with them.

Because it had just rained, the mountain path wasn't easy to walk. After she had taken only a few steps, Zhao Dong picked her up to help her along the slippery path.

Fortunately, the five mu of sloping fields were all adjacent, which made management much easier.

When they arrived, they saw rows of tree saplings neatly aligned on the slope. The saplings were very small; the tallest only reached an adult's leg.

Zhao Zhitong jogged over, stood in front of a sapling, and shouted, "Wow, look, it's as tall as me!"

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoxue and Sun Xiaoyu followed Zhao Zhitong's example. They ran to compare their height with the saplings, exclaiming, "Haha, look at me, look at me!"

Zhao Zhitong ran over and gestured with her hand to compare. "Hehe, little cousin, you're not as tall as it is!"

Sun Xiaoxue said, "Huh, you're right! Who planted this one? Wow, it's so tall!"

Zhao Zhitong, pointing at a sapling, asked Zhao Cheng, "Big brother, did you plant this one?"

Zhao Cheng's face turned slightly red as he nodded. "I planted this whole row."

His voice was filled with pride as he spoke.

After making "wow" sounds and gestures, Zhao Zhitong, Sun Xiaoxue, and Sun Xiaoyu excitedly ran off.

The little ones chattered away, looking around the orchard, their excitement palpable.

Zhao Dong cautioned them, "Be careful, everyone. First, make sure you don't fall, and second, don't damage the tree saplings. When they grow up, you'll have fruit to eat."

The children had been excited for a long time about the prospect of eating lots of fruit in the future, so they were very careful with these saplings.

But accidents happen. While playing, Sun Xiaoyu was accidentally bumped by Sun Daqing and fell right on her bottom.

The fall must have hurt, because her little mouth trembled, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Just then, Zhao Zhitong blinked, went over to Sun Xiaoyu, and mimicked how she had fallen. "Ouch!" she cried, sitting down on the ground beside her, then burst out laughing. "Oh dear, I've fallen down!"

The younger children found this hilarious and, one by one, started to copy her, sitting down on the ground.

"Ouch, I fell too!"

...

Peals of laughter from the little ones rang out.

Although tears still glistened on Sun Xiaoyu's eyelashes, she was now sitting on the ground, laughing along with her cousins, the pain of her fall completely forgotten.

Zhao Dong rubbed his temples, a headache forming. These kids, covered in mud like this, are definitely in for a scolding when they get home, he thought.

However, he only reminded them to be careful not to really hurt themselves and otherwise let them be, allowing them to play wildly.

At this age, it was essential for children to express their true nature.

Especially his daughter. She was usually so well-behaved at school; it was rare for her to get a chance to run wild like this. He decided to let her be; her happiness was most important.

After a while, the children tired themselves out from playing and gathered around Zhao Cheng, asking him what kinds of fruit trees they were.

Zhao Zhitong ran to Zhao Dong and asked, "Daddy, how long will these fruit trees take to bear fruit?"

Zhao Dong thought for a moment. "They'll probably need to grow for four or five years."

Zhao Zhitong was astonished. "Wow, that's such a long time!"

The thought of waiting five years for fruit made Zhao Zhitong a little disheartened. But then, it suddenly hit her—she had space water!

So she said, "Daddy, let's dig a well in the orchard! It'll be so much more convenient for watering the fruit trees."

Zhao Dong knew what Zhao Zhitong was getting at. A well was certainly necessary, but he was also thinking further ahead. For instance, there was the issue of security. Right now, no one would pay much attention to the newly planted saplings. However, once they grew and bore fruit, people would surely covet them. So, he was considering going up the mountain to find some pepper trees to transplant around the orchard. This way, they could enjoy the peppers, and the thorns on the pepper trees would also offer protection. Still, it would be best to have someone watch over the orchard. He wondered if they could hire a short-term worker later on.

While he was planning this, Sun Youcai's wasteland was almost cleared. The tree roots, weeds, and stones had all been removed, and the land was now being plowed.

Zhao Zhitong also began to busy herself with preparations for planting the peonies. She had no experience planting them and didn't know how, but she had Grandpa Bai to guide her.

So, she readily took on the role of instructor.

At that time, the Zhao Family courtyard was bustling with activity.

Sun Youcai and a few of the little ones, including Sun Daqing, squatted in a circle, with Zhao Zhitong and the peony flower in the middle.

Zhao Zhitong clutched a book in her small hands, completely engrossed in reading it. It was a book on flower cultivation that Grandpa Bai had found for her in a corner of his study. She was reading it very intently.

Sun Youcai, holding a pair of scissors, waited impatiently for Zhao Zhitong. After a long time, she still hadn't offered any clear instructions, prompting him to ask doubtfully, "I say, Little Tongtong, do you actually know what you're doing? You'd better not lead your Younger Uncle astray."
