Farming in the Apocalypse: My Assassin Wife is Super Gentle 45

Chapter 45: Okay, Okay, I Was Wrong

Wan Feng came back to her senses, realizing her own impropriety. But she was reluctant to let go and hugged her even tighter.

Zhang Can’er felt her leg was a bit numb and wanted to stand up. Wan Feng also stood up with her, and her muffled voice came out.

“You said I was an outsider, not your person.” Her voice was as aggrieved as it could be.

Hearing this, Zhang Can’er’s heart softened. She was the type to yield to soft tactics, not hard ones. Facing Wan Feng’s deliberate emotions now, she couldn’t tell at all and instead felt sorry for her.

“Okay, okay, I was wrong. I won’t say it again in the future, okay?” She hadn’t expected Wan Feng to care about these things. Her intention was good, but what she had said was indeed a bit lacking. No wonder Wan Feng had overthought it.

Since they were going to be best friends, of course she should dote on her whenever she could. Anyway, she also liked to dote on Wan Feng. Before, it was Xiao Feng and the others. Now, with Wan Feng, she was quite adept at it.

“Don’t cry anymore, okay?” Zhang Can’er lifted her body, held Wan Feng’s face, and wiped her tears.

Wan Feng stared at Zhang Can’er’s opening and closing lips, and couldn’t help but swallow. But in the end, she suppressed the desire in her heart.

Now was not the time. She still didn’t know if Zhang Can’er had feelings for her. Although she seemed to dote on her, apart from gentleness and heartache in her eyes, there was nothing else.

What she wanted was love, the deep love for her in those eyes.

And she was still a bit confused now. She had to properly adjust her emotions so that her mind could be clearer and her thoughts more logical.

Wan Feng sniffled, wiped away a tear, and said in a muffled voice, “I’m fine now. Let’s pack up our things first. It’s very late now. Let’s clean the bed boards and then sleep.”

Zhang Can’er nodded. After breathing a sigh of relief, she looked at Wan Feng’s red-rimmed eyes and felt a slight sense of excitement. She didn’t know where this feeling came from, but she knew that this emotion was wrong. After scolding herself in her heart, she got up to clean the bed boards.

Wan Feng also took out the things from the bag and arranged them one by one. After that, the two of them took a simple cold shower and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng were both startled awake. Seeing the unfamiliar room, both of them were dazed for a moment.

It wasn’t their fault. They had gone to bed late yesterday. At this time, they were not fully awake and hadn’t had enough sleep.

As their memories returned, the two of them put on their coats and went to open the door.

Standing outside was a tall man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties. His muscular build made him look even more imposing.

The voice he spoke with was as thick as one would imagine.

“Awake? Then follow me. I’ll take you to get your fields today.” The man glanced at the two of them, said these words, and then turned and left.

After exchanging a look, Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng quickly followed.

The man led them through the residential area to the farmland.

He pointed to a large area in front and said, “This will be the field you will be planting in the future. The paddy fields and vegetable fields have been divided for you. Later, go to Big Brother Zhou to get the seeds.”

After speaking, he didn’t care if they had heard or not, turned, and left the field, heading toward the residential area.

Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng had not spoken along the way. Seeing the man’s business-like manner, they didn’t say anything either.

Zhang Can’er looked at the land in front of her, her face a bit heavy. This paddy field was probably twenty mu. In addition to the nearly five mu of vegetable land next to it, it would be a bit difficult for two people.

With a sigh, Zhang Can’er turned to look at Wan Feng and said with some helplessness, “Sister Feng, it seems we’re being targeted.”

Wan Feng looked up at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she would say that.

Zhang Can’er looked at her foolish appearance and couldn’t help but smile. “Didn’t you notice that this land is a bit large? I took a look and estimated that there are about twenty mu of paddy fields and five mu of vegetable land. If it were ordinary people, who knows how long they would be busy. This paddy field would definitely not be finished. When it’s time for inspection, it will be miserable.”

Wan Feng had never farmed before, so she didn’t know much about these things. Although she saw that there were many paddy fields, she didn’t realize what a huge project it was.

Zhang Can’er pulled her, her smile fading a little. “If we’re required to finish planting these fields within a month, the two of us will probably be exhausted. Just talking about plowing, for twenty mu of land without machinery, it would take two people more than a month by hand, not to mention the subsequent seedling cultivation and management.

“And there’s also the vegetable land to plant. Does five mu sound like not much? But one mu can grow several thousand plants of vegetables. For example, leafy vegetables like cabbage and lettuce, one mu can grow about four to five thousand plants. Isn’t this purely treating us like cattle and horses? Even cattle and horses would be better off than us. At least they can rest. But we have to work from day to night every day, in a continuous cycle. Sooner or later, we’ll be exhausted to death here.”

After hearing this, Wan Feng’s face turned terrifyingly dark. She hadn’t expected these fields to be so difficult to plant.

“I’ll go find that man,” she said, about to walk in the direction the man had just gone.

Zhang Can’er quickly grabbed her. “Don’t be anxious. I said it was for ordinary people. Besides, it’s impossible for Starshine City not to have any farming machinery. It’s just that it might be a bit difficult to rent them.”

“Then where do we go to rent them?”

“Let’s go find Big Brother Zhou first.”

The two of them arrived at the residential area. After asking for directions, they went to Zhou Zhong’s house.

Zhou Zhong was distributing seeds at the door. Seeing the two of them arrive, he smiled. “You’re here? Your seeds are over there. Because it’s seedling planting, the twenty mu of paddy field rice seeds are about forty catties. And for the vegetable land, you’re mainly planting cabbage and lettuce, so five mu is about one catty. If you have any questions, ask now. I won’t have time later.”

After hearing this, Zhang Can’er glanced at the seeds Zhou Zhong was pointing at, nodded, and smiled. “Thank you, Big Brother Zhou. I mainly want to ask where I can rent agricultural machinery, and where to get fertilizer and herbicides.”

Zhou Zhong put down the seeds in his hand, his smile fading. He looked at Zhang Can’er and said, “You need to apply to Zhang Tu for agricultural machinery. But she was called away by the City Lord today. It’s said that someone died in District One. So if you want to apply now, you have to find Lin Chen. Lin Chen is Zhang Tu’s son. He has a bad temper and a bad character. You have to be careful when you go to him.

“As for fertilizer and herbicides, you can go to the man who took you to get your fields today. His name is Wang Yang. He’s very taciturn. Just go and say what you want. Remember to get enough at once. Don’t keep running over. That person hates being disturbed.”

“Okay, thank you, Big Brother Zhou.”

“Don’t be so polite. We’ll be working together in the future. I’ll need your help with some things later,” Zhou Zhong said with a laugh.

“Okay, just call us if you need anything in the future. Then we won’t disturb you any longer. We’ll be leaving.”

Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng carried the seeds back to the front of the thatched cottage. It was a bit late to plant rice at this time, but Zhang Can’er was not very worried. Mainly, she could actually put these seeds into the warehouse of the Spirit Field Space and even cultivate seedlings inside.
