The seed selling place near Xu's is next to the market, and the selling of seeds is just incidental. This street sells everything from flowers, birds, insects to fish.

The Overwatch mall also sells seeds, but the seeds sold on it are much more expensive than in the real world. It is usually in units of seeds, and one seed can be sold for a few points or even a dozen or tens of points.

Xu Jing followed the crowd, walked around, looked at the prices of various bids, and finally picked the one with the lowest bid and a lot of traffic to go in.

"Little brother, what are you buying?" The boss stood up and greeted enthusiastically, "Just take a look."

Xu Jing walked around her store and looked at the seeds on the stalls outside the store, "Auntie, how do you sell these seeds?"

"It depends on what you buy." The boss smiled, "If you buy more, it will be cheaper, Auntie."

Xu Jing picked up a bag of tomato seeds, "How much are the tomato seeds?"

"This pack costs [-] cents, and there are [-] seeds in it. If you buy it individually, you can buy [-] seeds for [-] cents."

"And mustard seeds, too?"

"These kinds of vegetables are all the same." The boss came over and picked out a few packets of seeds. Xu Jing took a closer look and found that they were the most common seeds such as eggplant, pumpkin, and cabbage. Popular with students, do you want to try it?"

Xu Jing also took a pack, and asked again: "Auntie, do you have any medicinal seeds here?"

"What medicinal materials? I have perilla seeds and pipa seeds here."

Perilla relieves heat and dispels cold, and pipa relieves cough and asthma, which can barely be regarded as medicinal materials. Xu Jing was not satisfied, so he looked carefully, "Is there anything else?"

The boss smiled while helping him pack the seeds, "I have some common seeds here. If you want to buy those medicinal materials, you have to find someone to ask. If you want pipa and perilla seeds, let me give them to you at a lower price. There are three perilla seeds and one pipa seed."

Xu Jing nodded, "Yes, three."

"Okay, it's two yuan in total." The boss packed all the seeds with paper, quickly tied them up with a rope, and handed them to Xu Jing with a smile.

Xu Jing paid the money and went to several other small stalls to make up for the missing seeds.

Some seeds can be planted now, others will have to wait until spring or even warmer.After Xu Jing walked out of the market, he found a remote alley and handed the seeds to Qi Yunzhi to keep them.

After buying the seeds, Xu Jing went to Qingqing Primary School to have a look.

Qingqing Elementary School occupies a huge area. Xu Jing looked in from the fence. There are basketball courts, football fields, and running tracks inside. There is even a swimming pool.Its teaching building is also very tall and beautiful, with elegant color schemes. Xu Jing specially counted it. There are six floors in this teaching building.

Xu Jing walked to the front of Qingqing Primary School, and there was a row of plaques on the left side of the magnificent school gate, such as the Yangtze River Basin Demonstration Primary School, the Special Human Tracking Research Base, the Yangtze River Changhua Science and Technology Research Institute Cooperation School, etc. Each plaque is quite impressive. People are in awe.

Xu Jing couldn't help thinking of the trampled yellow mud outside the classroom of Renyuan Primary School, and of the big iron ring hanging under the tree.Renyuan Primary School does not have a class bell at all, and the teacher needs to watch the time to knock on the iron ring to remind students every time the get out of class ends.

After seeing Qingqing Primary School, Xu Jing didn't say much when he went back.

Aunt Lin saw that he was very calm, and she let go of her long-hanging heart.When eating at noon, there are only two dishes on the table, but there are meat and vegetables inside, which is very rich in content.

Xu Jing knew at a glance that she intended to take care of him, and thanked, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

"You're welcome, eat more." Aunt Lin brought him a big dish with chopsticks.

Xu Jing smiled at her and started to eat quietly.When he just came back, he bought food outside for Qi Yunzhi to eat first, so there is no need to worry about it now.

After lunch, Xu Jing fell asleep and was only awakened by the sound downstairs when the sun was about to set.

Xu Jing lay on the bed and listened for a long time, and heard the voices of Xu Shengxiang and Xu Shengnong. They probably went home after the winter vacation cram school.Turning over, Xu Jing didn't want to go back to sleep, so he just got up and went downstairs, not to mention anything else, as long as he can make a routine.

Seeing Xu Jing from the stairs, Xu Shengxiang and Xu Shengnong looked at each other, and they left the area hand in hand.

Xu Jing didn't care, and walked towards them, "What are you playing?"

Xu Shengnong pursed his lips and ignored him.On the contrary, Xu Shengxiang glanced at Xu Shengnong, then at Xu Jing, and replied, "Playing with the kitten to find the mouse."

Xu Shengnong was angry, he threw off Xu Shengxiang's hand and gave him a look, "He came here to steal your things, why are you talking to him?!"

After speaking, Xu Shengnong stood up with a cold face and walked straight away. Xu Jing silently watched his back go upstairs.

Xu Shengxiang glanced at Xu Jing, hesitated, and said, "I, I went up too."

Seeing him hurrying upstairs, Xu Jing stood where he was, turned around and walked into the kitchen without following him.

Aunt Lin saw him and asked, "Why didn't you play with Sheng Xiang and Sheng Nong?"

"They went upstairs, Aunt Lin, let me cook for you."

Aunt Lin smiled, stretched out her hand and gently pushed him out, "What do you guys cook?"

"It's okay, let me help you, I can also cook in the country."

Xu Jing insisted, so Aunt Lin had to give him a bowl of garlic and let him peel the garlic.

Xu Jing will be 12 years old after the new year, and he will not be completely regarded as a child in this era.According to the law here, once you reach the age of 14, you can open your own account and assume the responsibilities of adults.

This law originated in the early days after the end of the turmoil. In recent years, legal experts have continuously proposed to change it, but it has not been changed for a while.

Xu Qiming came down to read the newspaper, and heard voices in the kitchen, so he came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, when he saw Xu Jing peeling garlic, his face immediately darkened, his eyes widened, and he was about to say Aunt Lin.

Xu Jing raised the garlic in his hand, "Grandpa, I was bored upstairs, so I came down here to find something to do."

Xu Qiming's complexion became better, "If you're bored, you can read books and newspapers. It's enough for Xiao Lin to do the kitchen work. A man, what's the point of spending all day around the stove?"

"It's okay." Xu Jing smiled, "I have to pick vegetables, wash dishes and clean the stove at my cousin's house. I also do all kinds of odd jobs, and I'm used to it."

Xu Qiming stared, and said angrily: "Can it be the same at your cousin's house as at home?"

Xu Jing put away the smile on his face, looked at him, and said, "Of course it's different. My aunt's house doesn't treat me very well, but my family treats me better. Grandpa, can I not go back to my aunt's house?"

Xu Qiming's face became hot, and he met Xu Jing's calm eyes, not knowing how to answer.

Aunt Lin was cooking vegetables sizzling beside her, she was so absorbed in her work that she thought she was a deaf person.

Xu Jing looked at his face, saw that he was embarrassed, and kept silent.

At the dinner table, just after the family had dinner, Xu Jing suddenly asked his father Xu Gaoge, "Dad, can I not go to my cousin's house after the Chinese New Year? I have to do a lot of work there, and his family doesn't treat me very well." good."

Everyone at the table had surprised expressions on their faces, and Xu Jing's uncle and aunt looked at each other without making a sound.

Lin Maohua pulled her face, held back her breath and did not speak. She elbowed Xu Gaoge, motioning him to answer her son.

Xu Gaoge laughed dryly, "Sheng He, didn't you say you want to skip a grade and go to junior high school? If you don't go to your cousin's house, it's not easy to skip a grade."

"It's okay if you don't jump." The expression on Xu Jing's face was very calm. His eyes swept around the adults around him, and finally stopped on Xu Gaoge's face, asking: "I don't want to be sent to my cousin's house. What do I do?" What's wrong? Both Shengxiang and Shengnong can stay at home, and I will be sent to the countryside."
