Liang Guotao kept his word, and seeing Xu Jing insisted, he finally nodded and agreed with him to go to the fourth grade.

Guo Yingzhen couldn't hold him back, so let him go. If he couldn't keep up, then he would go through another procedure and let him go to the first grade.

Xu Jing heaved a sigh of relief after the matter of going to school was settled. He had been thinking about recharging the Overwatch, and now he was looking forward to getting dark soon.

In the afternoon, he was still left at Liang's house to pick peanuts. There were peanuts to dry on the grain drying field. Besides picking peanuts, if there was any sign of rain, he and Liang Ermei had to take the peanuts back in time to avoid getting caught in the rain.

There were many thunderstorms in August. Seeing the traces of dark clouds at the foot of the sky, Xu Jing prayed in his heart that it would not rain.

However, the traces of the dark cloud grew bigger and bigger, and soon spread over their heads.Li Yinxiu and the others hadn't started work yet, so they hurriedly called everyone up to collect peanuts.

Li Yinxiu looked at the sky and shouted at the top of her voice, "Hurry up, it's almost raining here!"

Everyone in the Liang family, including Liang Xiaobao, ran to the grain drying field to collect peanuts. Liang Guotao and Guo Yingzhen picked the baskets filled with peanuts into the hall for storage in time.

They had just harvested the peanuts, and before they had time to hide under the eaves, heavy crackling rain fell, with a smell of mud.

The mountain rain was mixed with a cool wind, which made people's clothes rustle, and the temperature dropped all of a sudden.

Guo Yingzhen stood under the eaves, watching the heavy rain, frowning.She only applied base fertilizer to the corn field in the morning, and the heavy rain would wash away all the fertilizer.There is not enough fat left at home, so it is difficult to apply the second round.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water under the eaves was rushing.Liang Guotao stared at the rain curtain for a long time, then said, "No, I have to go and see."

"It's raining so heavily, where can I go out?" Guo Yingzhen said, but still found him an umbrella.

Liang Guotao took an umbrella, carried a hoe and went out.He is going to inspect the field ridges and plug up all the gaps in the corn field. Even if the fertilizer is soaked in water, the fertilizer water cannot flow away.

His tall figure disappeared in the rain, and Xu Jing was also worried that if the rain kept falling and the field was too wet, it would be difficult for him to go out at night.

It rained heavily for more than an hour. After the sun cleared, the sky was blue and blue, which was very beautiful.

Guo Yingzhen took a pair of children to work, and Li Yinxiu asked Xu Jing to use a bamboo broom to sweep up the water on the sun-drying ground, and after the grain-drying ground dries up, the peanuts should be sun-dried again.

A load of peanuts is not light, and Li Yinxiu, who is in his sixties, struggles to carry them.After Xu Jing poured out the peanuts and spread them out to dry in the sun, she straightened her waist, thumped her back, looked at the distant mountains, and suddenly sighed, "If there is no W-ray in such a fine weather, I would go to the mountains to pick mushrooms at this time." It must be able to pick up several loads."

Xiaobao asked from the side: "Grandma, there are mushrooms on the mountain?"

"Yes, there are many." Li Yinxiu patted his head and said, "Every time it rains, mushrooms on the mountain grow slowly, like red mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, chicken fir mushrooms... and Many can’t be named. After it rains, the fungus on the mountain will sprout. Even if you don’t go up the mountain, you can find lichens on the ground. There are also bamboo shoots, which can grow several centimeters in one night. It would be great to eat fried meat. In short, there are many things to eat on the mountain after the rain.”

Seeing the little grandson's eyes glowing, and the corners of his mouth drooling, Li Yinxiu felt sad and funny, "Shut up the saliva, what grandma said was in the past, now that the W-ray is present, you can't eat anything."

Xiao Bao said "Oh" and asked again: "Grandma, didn't you have W-rays when you were young?"

"No, grandma was very peaceful when she was a child. Every family could eat meat, and she could eat three meals a day."

Xiaobao was not without envy, "Grandma, you were so kind when you were young."

"You don't have to envy grandma. We don't have meat here. If you can study hard and get admitted to a university outside, you can eat meat for three meals a day."

"Which university is outside?"

"Your brother Xiaohe's place will do. You will have meat every day if you get into the university in the comprehensive life center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River."

Xu Jing was listening with great interest, when she suddenly heard her mention this, and thought of her parents in this life, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt that his head was heavy, and when he looked sideways, Qi Yunzhi was touching his head clumsily imitating Li Yinxiu's way of touching Xiaobao, with worry in his clear eyes.Xu Jing smiled at him, and the depression in his heart was suddenly swept away.

Liang Guotao and the others came back early in the afternoon, and Liang Guotao was still carrying a bunch of fish strung together with grass stalks.

Li Yinxiu asked, "Where did the fish come from?"

"It rained heavily, and it rushed out of other people's fields and rushed into our cornfield, so I caught them back."

"Is our fish okay?" Li Yinxiu was worried. The paddy field at home had buffalo fish, and she had only seen them a few days ago, and they were mostly half a catty. If they ran away at this time, it would be a big loss.

"Don't worry, be careful. I put bamboo strips down on several shallow places on the field ridge to block them, so I can't run away."

Liang Guotao put the fish in a wooden basin for washing vegetables in the kitchen, and scooped out water from the bucket to raise them.Most of his clothes were soaked, and they were clinging tightly to his body at this time.

Li Yinxiu brought a bucket over to the stove, and asked Xu Jing who was lighting the fire, "Is the water hot?"

Xu Jing nodded, "It's time to take a bath."

Li Yinxiu hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, and scooped out several spoonfuls of water with a wooden spoon.

She wanted to help Liang Guotao carry it to the shower room. Seeing her move, Liang Guotao reached out to take the water, and carried it out three steps in two steps.

Li Yinxiu added cold water to the pot again and let Xu Jing continue to boil.Since Xu Jing regained his consciousness, the job of burning the Liang family fell on him.

Li Yinxiu is quite satisfied with him now. He is fostered here, and his family will send nearly five hundred catties of grain and more than 100 yuan a year. Now that he wants to study here, his family will send a lot more money, not to mention He also does a lot of work for the family.

The only thing that made Li Yinxiu dissatisfied was that Xu Jing could eat too much. His appetite was sometimes bigger than that of Liang Ermei, not to mention Liang Ermei was two years older than him.

After dinner, it was already dark.After Xu Jing waited for Liang Guotao and the others to enter the room, he also entered the room. He had a lot of things to do tonight, so he had to close the door and slowly wait for the Liang family to fall asleep.

After turning on the alert mode, Xu Jing checked the charging status of the Overwatch. At this time, the solar energy had been fully charged, and the remaining biological energy and credits were completely empty and had not been touched at all.

In addition to solar energy, ten credits and five units of bioenergy are required to recharge once, which Xu Whale cannot satisfy Watchman for the time being.

He was lying on the bed, Qi Yunzhi was beside him, and the two patiently waited for the time to pass.

When the watch signal showed nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Jing got up quietly, opened and closed the door, then turned around and went to the toilet behind Li Yinxiu's room.

For the purpose of composting, the Liang family's toilet is a dry toilet with ashes under it. After using the toilet, it must be buried with ashes, which is a bit like the way cats go to the toilet.

No matter how clean the dry toilet is, it feels bad to be next to it. The window of Li Yinxiu's room didn't open to this side.

There are two walls separating them, and the movement of the toilet is generally not heard by the Liang family.

Xu Jing quietly took a small hoe in the toilet. With a hoe, he can dig sweet potatoes, taro and other root plants much faster.

It had just rained in the afternoon, and the ground was very wet. Every time Xu Jing took a step, water would bubble up under his feet, mixed with mud, and his rotten slippers got stuck in it several times, and he couldn't pull it out.Xu Jing suspected that if he came again a few times, his shoes would be ruined.

There are many thorns in the wild, even if he is worried about shoes, Xu Jing can't help but wear them, otherwise the thorns will pierce his feet, and the wound may be infected and festered, making it even more difficult to recover.

Xu Jing took Qi Yunzhi slowly to the depths of the wilderness. Watchman reminded him that the source of bioenergy it needed was roughly equivalent to human food, so he had to find some food.

After spending so many days in the wild, Xu Jing has roughly figured out where there are wild vegetables and where there are only weeds.He had something to do tonight, so he didn't bother to explore other places, so he just went to the taro field he found a few days ago.

The taro field is beside the stream, and there are a series of taro plants growing on it. The lush branches and leaves of the large plants seem to be full of luscious spring water, and they grow tender, green, and full of vitality.

Xu Jing had discovered these yams a long time ago, and it was not yet the time for the yams to mature, so he had been reluctant to dig them. If it hadn't been for the lack of energy on the Overwatch, he would not have thought about these yams for the time being.

Standing in front of the taro seedling on the far side, Xu Jing grabbed all the stems of this taro seedling and started digging with a hoe.

After digging for a while, sweat came out of his forehead little by little and flowed down his face.His cheeks were red, but his lips were pale.

Qi Yunzhi watched from the side, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xu Jing, took the hoe from him, and dug into the ground with a muffled sound.

He is tall and strong, Xu Jing's digging with three hoes is not as good as his one hoe.Xu Jing dug for a long time before he dug out most of the taro. He dug it out with three or two strokes in his hand. The taro was as big as the mouth of a sea bowl, and the taro stem and leaves together weighed about four to five catties.

Xu Jing struggled to lift the taro, but did not remove the taro stalk and taro leaves, and directly swept it with the Watchman, "Watchman, I want to sell this taro plant."

Watchman: "Scanning. Variety: taro. The taro weighs three kilograms, the whole plant is edible, contains [-] bioenergy, and is valued at [-] points. Is it for sale?"

"Sell." Xu Jing replied, the watch screen changed, plus his original remaining five points, his personal information became 5.15 points.

Xu Jing moved around, grabbed the second taro seedling, and said to Qi Yunzhi, "Brother Qi, let's dig some more taro."

In addition to solar energy, one charge requires ten credits and five units of bioenergy. If the bioenergy of each taro plant is calculated at [-], Xu Jing needs [-] taro plants of this size.

Qi Yunzhi worked quickly, and in less than ten seconds, he dug out the second taro.Xu Jing continued to let Watchman scan, "This taro plant is also for sale."

Overwatch: "Scanning. Variety: taro. The taro weighs 320 grams and is polluted by W-rays. The taro is inedible, the biological energy is contaminated, and has no value. The system refuses to purchase it."

Xu Jing had already had a premonition, and after listening to the information given by the Watchman, he still had a bad feeling in his heart.

He threw away the taro plant in his hand and asked Qi Yunzhi to continue digging.Qi Yunzhi took the hoe and quickly dug up the next taro plant.Unexpectedly, several taro plants in a row were polluted by W-rays, and the Watchman refused to accept them at all.

There are a total of 37 taro plants in this taro field, and only eleven are qualified. Xu Jing sold them to Watchman, earning a total of 6.82 points.In this way, he has a total of [-] points in his hand.More than two hours have passed, and it is now past twelve o'clock. He needs to earn ten points and five biological energy before dawn.

Xu Jing felt a little heavy in his heart.
