Chapter 36 The Great Peach Tree

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 The Great Peach Tree

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around and instantly went to her own space; she had long discovered that she could enter this space with just her mental consciousness.

The two saplings she threw into the space yesterday were still lying crooked on the ground.

It seems her space doesn’t grow on its own and needs someone to take care of it.

She organized the high school review books she brought in, along with some other things she found.

So far, nothing on the ground has been damaged by moisture, but leaving them on the ground like this isn’t ideal.

It looks like next time she has to collect some tables and chairs to have some space to organize things.

After tidying up, she planted one of the saplings in the ground.

Luckily, she followed her father to plant trees today and secretly collected tools like a shovel and a watering can into her space, planning to take them back out after leaving in the morning.

Now they came in handy.

The only downside is that there seems to be only one plot of land in her space.

Originally, she wanted to plant both saplings in a single plot. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But who knew that just as she planted the peach tree,

the field automatically excluded her.

She couldn’t plant anymore.

But if she did other work, it seemed the field would return to its original state.

She could touch it.

For instance, watering.

She got some water from the small spring next to it and watered the sapling.

She wondered when this tree would grow up.

Of course, she didn’t know what the time conversion rate was in this space.

Is it the same as her outside world,

or different?

With nothing else to do, she came out and went to sleep peacefully.

No words were exchanged throughout the night.

The next morning, when Jiang Xiaoxiao woke up, Fang Xiaohui was already up.

She was quite diligent.

Cooking with Fan Xiuying warmly, though Fang Xiaohui didn’t actually know how to cook.

Besides, Fan Xiuying wouldn’t let the child cook anyway.

She was just there helping Fan Xiuying by passing things and such.

But they were talking and laughing.

The atmosphere between them was different.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t envious, after all, Fang Xiaohui was Fan Xiuying’s biological daughter.

As long as Fang Xiaohui didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t mind.

Yet, there was still some sourness in her heart.

Ah.

People.

They still get jealous.

She was just human too.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned onto her side stubbornly and went into her space to check on her sapling. She watered it last night and wondered how it was now.

When she went in, she was dumbfounded.

The small sapling in the field had grown into a towering tree.

How tall can a peach tree actually grow?

Could it really grow this tall?

At a glance, the tree was at least three meters high, already much taller than her.

Overnight, this tree had grown three meters, and remarkably, it even bore fruit.

Though the fruits still appeared green and hadn’t turned into red peaches yet.

The question is, how did it blossom and bear fruit overnight at such a speed?

Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly went up to touch it.

It was solid; it was indeed a peach.

If it weren’t yet ripe, she might have picked one down to taste and see the difference between this and outside peaches.

The main issue was how quickly it had grown.

She wondered if by the afternoon this peach would be ripe.

But no one gave her a guide to this space.

She could only speculate that either time in this space moved much faster than outside, or perhaps the land in this space could accelerate plant growth.

She happily eyed her peach tree, thinking she could eat peaches in a few days.

The space didn’t seem to change much, but suddenly it felt full of vitality to her.

The problem was there was only one plot of land, and it could only grow one type of plant.

Yesterday she planted a peach tree, and the Huanghuali sapling was still laying aside.

Fortunately, the Huanghuali sapling hadn’t withered.

Jiang Xiaoxiao joyfully withdrew her spirit.

She felt like she had hit it big.

Now that she was going to the countryside, she would have an extra space to grow plants.

Her biggest regret was starting with a peach tree.

If she had planted wheat, it probably would have matured overnight.

And once wheat matured, she could remove it and plant other plants anew.

But now that she planted a peach tree, she couldn’t just chop it down after it bore fruit.

Silently regretting her decision-making error.

Such lack of experience.

Jiang Xiaoxiao consoled herself, it wasn’t her fault.

No one had a space in their previous life to use, right?

This kind of experience wasn’t easy to come by.

She got up to start her day.

After washing and getting ready, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw her mother, Fan Xiuying, had already set the table with food.

"Everyone hurry and come have breakfast!"

She looked at Fang Xiaohui, who helped bring food to the table.

This child was rather kind and considerate.

But before they could start eating,

the door was pounded loudly.

Jiang Laocheng glanced, who could it be so early?

Jiang Lei went to open the door.

And saw his uncle, aunt, and Old Mrs. Jiang rush in together.

Yes!

Like a tornado, the three of them burst into their house.

Almost pushing Jiang Lei standing aside to the ground.

"Grandma, what is this..."

Jiang Lei felt ignored.

No one responded to him.

"Mom, elder brother, sister-in-law, why are you here? Has something happened?"

Jiang Laocheng couldn’t forget how his elder brother and sister-in-law only showed up when there was trouble.

The last time his wife said they dropped by unannounced trying to get his job handed over to his nephew.

Could it be they heard he was back and came again with the same issue?

His elder brother Jiang Laocheng looked pale, clearly something major had happened.

Sister-in-law Feng Guihua was in tears, face tear-streaked.

"This time, it’s truly a big deal, Jiang. If you don’t lend a hand, your nephew’s future is really over."

She cried while wiping her eyes.

Jiang Laocheng was confused. Was it his unpromising nephew?

"Elder brother, sister-in-law, talk to me clearly. Just crying, how do I know what’s going on? If I can help, of course, I will. We’re family, so why wouldn’t I help? But whether or not I can help, that’s another matter."

He didn’t make any definite promises; who knew if he could actually help.

Feng Guihua nodded eagerly, "Jiang, you can definitely help. They said only you could help!"

Jiang Laocheng felt even more puzzled. Someone had given them directions, seemingly targeting them.

Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at Fang Xiaohui.

Then looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, emotions tumbling in her heart, her real granddaughter replaced.

The old lady had only just developed feelings for Xiaoxiao, then suddenly her granddaughter was replaced.

This event was indeed tied to Xiaoxiao’s biological parents.

Ah! A tangle of fate.
