Shen Xue Ning took the hoe and dug the hole vertically, imitating Liu Juan's way. This time she did a good job.

Liu Juan took the seedlings over, then squatted down, holding the seedlings in one hand and planting them with the other.

Shen Xue Ning watched carefully how Liu Juan planted the seedlings. Liu Juan held the seedling with three fingers of her left hand, picked up a piece of mud with her right hand, and pressed the roots of the seedling into the soil. That way the seedling was planted. She thought Liu Juan was very capable as she could plant the seedlings with just one hand.

Seeing Shen Xue Ning watching her planting seedlings, Liu Juan said, "The key to planting seedlings is to press the roots tightly. If not, the seedlings will die easily."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Mom, I know."

After digging the soil holes, Shen Xue Ning also started to learn how to plant seedlings.

Under Liu Juan's careful instruction, Shen Xuening understood it after just two tries, and after trying it a few times, she became proficient in it after just a dozen attempts.

Liu Juan was very pleased to see Shen Xuening seemed to have learned something from her. "Ningning, you learn so fast."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I have always been a fast learner, otherwise I wouldn't even have time to sleep."

Liu Juan felt sad: "Ningning, we can do whatever we want in the future."

Shen Xuening smiled and nodded: "Okay."

The mother and daughter transplanted all the seedlings together. Then Shen Xue Ning was responsible for irrigation and did not let Liu Juan help.

Since irrigation was relatively easy, Liu Juan stopped helping and went back to do other things.

Shen Xuening took two small buckets and carried them to the nearby fields to fetch water. In the fields in July, the seedlings were growing lushly and dark green, which looked refreshing.

When scooping water, Shen Xue Ning dipped his hands into the water, put some spiritual spring water into the water, and then irrigated it.

One bowl of water is used for each seedling, and two buckets of water can irrigate eighty plants. After several hours of hard work, all the seedlings have been watered.

Shen Xue Ning stood at the edge of the soil, looking at the seedlings growing from it, and a sense of accomplishment filled her heart.

Good, keep it up.

……

It was already past seven when we took the three girls home.

Tao Yun lived in Shen Xue Ning's house. Liu Juan and Shen Dong put the single bed that Shen Xue Ning had slept on at first in Shen Yingying's room, put a clean mattress on it, and let Tao Yun make do with it.

Tao Yun didn't feel bad at all. She was eager to stay here. She liked the family atmosphere here so much that she didn't want to go home at all.

The most important thing is that Shen Xuening bought a lot of extracurricular books for Shen Yingying, so she can borrow them to read.

Several girls got out of the car, and Shen Xue Ning saw a somewhat unfamiliar woman standing in the yard.

Liu Juan came out of the house: "Come, Ningning, let me introduce you, this is Du Li, she is your great aunt's granddaughter, she can drive, and she came here specifically to find a job."

When Liu Juan learned that Shen Xue Ning needed someone to replace her job, she looked for ways and finally chose Du Li.

Du Li is a freelance comic artist. She has freedom in her work and her own time. She wanted to make more money recently, so she came here after listening to Liu Juan's advice.

After introducing Du Li, Liu Juan introduced Shen Xue Ning. They greeted each other and got to know each other.

Shen Xue Ning said bluntly: "Can you show me your driver's license?"

Du Li got her driver's license and took it out from her pocket to show Shen Xue Ning: "You still don't believe me, I often drive out to collect folk songs, and my driving skills are pretty good."

Shen Xue Ning looked at her driver's license, which she had obtained five years ago: "Go for a drive?"

"Okay." Du Li agreed cheerfully.

The two got in the car, Du Li sat in the driver's seat and Shen Xue Ning sat in the passenger seat, and the car drove out smoothly.

Du Li is a good driver and she even showed off to Shen Xue Ning on the way.

Shen Xue Ning thought Du Li was quite humorous. After a round, she also recognized Du Li's driving skills and asked her to be responsible for picking up a few girls and delivering vegetables to the store the next day.

Du Li is a student at No. 1 Middle School. She is more familiar with the road than Shen Xue Ning and doesn’t need a guide.

After driving the car back home, Du Li asked, "Can I drive the car back home?"

Shen Xue Ning readily agreed: "Okay, but you need to be at my house before 5:30 tomorrow."

Du Li said: "Okay, I like to go to bed early and get up early."

Shen Xuening got off the car and Du Li drove home.

When I walked into the room, I heard Liu Juan answering the phone. Tao Yun was sitting on a stool with a wronged expression. She asked, "What happened?"

Tao Yun has a strong psychological shadow on her mother. She can't help but tremble and get nervous when she hears her mother's voice: "My mother is calling."

Shen Xuening patted Tao Yun's shoulder: "It's okay, you are at my house now."

Tao Yun nodded: "Yeah."

Liu Juan said emotionally: "We left our daughter at home and didn't care about her at all. Now that she can earn money, you come to ask for money eagerly. Can you please not be so unkind?"

Shen Dong was afraid that Liu Juan would be angry, so he took the phone away: "Fourth sister, I am not the third brother to say that you are too biased. Your daughter is a human being, don't you care about her at all?"

Shen Mei said as a matter of course: "Yes, the daughter is someone else's, why should I be so nice to her?"

Shen Dong asked back: "Aren't you a daughter? Are your parents not good to you?"

Shen Mei started to yell, "Humph, my parents are partial to you. They give you all the good things and never give me any."

Shen Dong loudly retorted that this was not the case at all: "When did you only give us good food? Don't be so unreasonable. Do you want me to ask my parents to confront you?"

Shen Mei threw a tantrum: "I don't care what you do, Tao Yun must send all the money she earns back home to me, otherwise I won't let her work anymore."

Shen Dong couldn't listen any longer: "Why are you so cruel?"

Shen Mei scolded: "She is my daughter, I can do whatever I want, you have no right to interfere!"

Shen Dong was so angry that he was speechless: "You..."

Shen Mei hung up the phone.

Tao Yun's tears fell. Even though she had left home, she still couldn't escape her mother's control. It was too suffocating, too suffocating.

Shen Xue Ning handed Tao Yun a glass of water: "It's okay, someone can help you treat your mother."

Tao Yun's eyes were filled with tears. She looked up at Shen Xue Ning and said, "Cousin, my mother... I don't know why she is like this."

Shen Xue Ning comforted her: "Don't think about her, I will find someone to help you tomorrow."

Tao Yun looked at Shen Xue Ning with trust. Her cousin shone in her heart like a beam of light: "Thank you, cousin."

Shen Xue Ning patted Tao Yun on the shoulder: "Okay, it's okay, go take a shower and sleep, have a good rest, you are tired after working all day today."

"Okay." Tao Yun went obediently.

Liu Juan asked in a low voice: "Ningning, who are you going to ask for help?"

Shen Xue Ning smiled: "Of course it's grandma."

Liu Juan suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, no one else can control your Fourth Aunt, but your grandmother can. I will go with you to find your grandmother tomorrow."

……

The next day, Shen Xuening, Liu Juan and Tao Yun came to Grandma Shen's house together.

Liu Juan first told Grandma Shen what had happened. After listening to it, Grandma Shen stood on Tao Yun's side without hesitation. She was also very angry and didn't know why her daughter had become so extreme.
