“It should be!” Yuezheng Xiao expressed his confidence, adding, “I wouldn’t be so sure if I were talking to anyone else but you. You have a remarkable talent for nurturing plants. I believe there won’t be any problem at all!” Qiao Xuan laughed, accepting the compliment graciously.
If Yuezheng Xiao said so, then she didn’t need to provide any further explanations. His confidence alleviated her concerns.
As they walked through the garden, Qiao Xuan took occasional breaks, using her superpower to assist the plants in thriving during the winter. She ensured that they would soon bud and flourish when spring arrived.
Satisfied with her work, Qiao Xuan spent an entire day in the garden, free from worries.
Later, they had dinner with Xie Jingrong, during which they shared the news of Qi’s voluntary decision to join the army and requested Xie Jingrongs support and protection.
Xie Jingrong was taken aback by the news, but he spoke highly of Qi and readily agreed to Shao Yunduan’s request. Providing a letter of recommendation was a simple task for the Xie Family. As someone familiar with military camps, Xie Jingrong shared some insights with Qi.
Qi’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he listened to the stories. He nodded eagerly and asked curious questions.
Even Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan gained a better understanding, which alleviated their worries to some extent.
Military camps might not be as dreadful as they had initially imagined.
Xie Jingrong had an extensive collection of books on military and armies, and he offered to search for some suitable ones for Qi to read, which Shao
Yunduan could take back home.
Shao Yunduan was delighted with the offer and expressed his gratitude to Xie Jingrong, asking if he could make copies of the books.
Xie Jingrong agreed, giving his permission for Shao Yunduan to make copies.
Shao Yunduan decided to copy the books and store them in the village’s library, which was currently under construction.
He made copies of all the books he had access to from the Xie Family’s collection, being cautious not to ask for more than he was given, as it might seem greedy.
After all, the Xie Family had multiple members and resources to manage.
Everything proceeded smoothly, and their hearts felt lighter.
First Madame accompanied Qiao Xuan and Taotao, joining them in purchasing various goods for the upcoming New Year. Combined with the gifts from First Madame, their wagons were filled to the brim.
To Qiao Xuan’s surprise, she received an unexpected gift during this time.
Yuezheng Hong had brought seeds of sweet melons, along with two large bunches of blueberry tree buds and cherry buds.
He explained that the melons were delicious, but due to the long distance, they couldn’t be brought back without the risk of rotting. Instead, he brought the seeds for Qiao Xuan to plant at home.
Blueberries thrived in mountainous regions and could be made into delicious jam, so he had brought some buds for her to grow. The same applied to the cherry buds.
Yuezheng Hong generously offered Qiao Xuan the opportunity to start planting them at home. If they thrived and survived, he would provide her with more.
Qiao Xuan expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gifts.
Sweet melons, essentially cantaloupes, didn’t have their current name yet, as it would be coined in the future when they were introduced.
The prospect of growing cherries and blueberries excited Qiao Xuan. She believed they would flourish in their care.
With utmost care, Qiao Xuan took the precious gifts home, treasuring them like her most valuable possessions..
