The same old trick.
Chen Xuan placed five thousand chicks into the second Chicken Coop.
Chirp, chirp.
The chicks, newly arrived in this unfamiliar environment, were quite restless, flapping around in confusion. However, once the Holy Spirit Lake Water was introduced into the Chicken Coop, the five thousand chicks immediately settled down and began to crowd together, frantically vying for the Holy Spirit Lake Water.
Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.
It was the same routine as before. In a month’s time, his egg production would significantly increase.
After finishing up with the Chicken Coop, Chen Xuan didn’t rest. With a wave of his hand, he led Jin He and the Watermelon Demon to the left side of the garden, where they cleared about ten acres of land. He planted all the seeds he had purchased from Changfeng County: tomatoes, cabbage, greens, cucumbers—each familiar household vegetable seed was sown by Chen Xuan.
He sprinkled them with Holy Spirit Lake Water.
Before long, this area would become Chen Xuan's vegetable garden. Soon enough, he would be able to enjoy those delicious vegetables that he fondly remembered from his childhood.
With the garden set up, it was finally time to tackle the fence.
This was a massive undertaking. Chen Xuan worked alongside the Watermelon Demon and Jin He for an entire day to plant the fence along the side of the farm that faced the road. As usual, they watered it with Holy Spirit Lake Water.
The fence suddenly burst into a vibrant green.
After finishing with the fence, Chen Xuan turned his attention to the three pots of orchids. After watering them with water from Holy Spirit Lake for several days, the ordinary orchids underwent astonishing changes.
One pot's leaves turned golden at the edges; another's leaves took on a light purple hue; and the last pot's leaves transformed into a translucent jade color. This sudden transformation left Chen Xuan speechless. He had accompanied his mother up the mountains countless times, but he had never seen orchids like these before.
Looking at the three uniquely colored pots, Chen Xuan felt a subtle sense that these orchids might have mutated under the influence of Holy Spirit Lake's water. As for what they would ultimately become or their value, he had no idea.
He didn't care either; in his heart, these three pots of orchids were meant for his mother, Zhang Cuifang, and no amount of money from anyone else would make him sell them.
A few days later, all three pots blossomed with flower buds, and blooming was just around the corner. Seeing this, Chen Xuan hurriedly picked up the three pots and drove home.
Zhang Cuifang was in the kitchen cooking when she heard some noise and came out. She was surprised to see Chen Xuan carrying in the three pots of orchids.
"Are those orchids?" Zhang Cuifang looked at what Chen Xuan was holding, somewhat in disbelief.
"Yes!" Chen Xuan placed the three pots on the table and smiled. "Mom, didn’t you used to love raising orchids? I bought you these three pots; you can take care of them."
"Oh dear, that was so long ago! If I raise orchids now, won't the villagers gossip about me?" Zhang Cuifang said dismissively, yet her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the orchids on the table.
The glimmer of anticipation in her eyes made Chen Xuan's heart ache. No wonder his mother hadn’t raised orchids again; she must have been afraid of what others would say!
His mother had always wanted to continue caring for orchids! For herself and for their family, she had sacrificed so much!
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan stood up seriously. He pulled Zhang Cui to sit on the stool and said slowly, "Mom, my farm is on the right track now. This family will rely on me from now on!"
As for you, just take care of Orchid.
"What about me?" Zhang Cui exclaimed anxiously. "Mom still needs to bring you grandchildren!"
"Hahaha! That won't stop you from taking care of Orchid!" Chen Xuan laughed heartily.
