    It was at the back of the mountain.


    Although this area wasn’t big, the vacantnd had been used to build the small vi which Xie Ying and Cheng Ling lived. There was also arge farnd. The only ce left was thend next to the small vi.


    “Here, this should be the only ce left.” Cheng Ling pointed at the small vacantnd.


    Lu Dong measured it with his eyes.


    It was too small.


    At most, it could only build a two-story small house.


    Moreover, this ce had a lot of vegetation, so there must be a lot of mosquitoes.


    Lu Dong’s eyes were full of disdain, however, Lu Qi said with a smile, “Not bad. This ce has beautiful mountains and clear waters, criss-crossing paths and traffic, chickens and dogs. The air is filled with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables and the faint bitterness of medicinal herbs. It smells carefree and happy.”


    Criss-cross paths and traffic. Chickens and dogs.


    Where were the chickens? Where were the dogs?


    Lu Dong ridiculed silently. In order to pursue a girl, the head of the family had to move next to her. He even had to lie. This kind of true love could indeed be witnessed by heaven and earth!


    Initially, Cheng Ling wanted to make Lu Qi back down. However, seeing that Lu Qi was so easy to talk to, she was no longer so repulsed by other people living in the back of the mountain.


    If this person was Lu Qi.


    After confirming the location, Lu Qi instructed the others to do the rest.


    Cheng Ling then continued walking along the edge of the field with Lu Qi.


    Lu Qi did not look closelyst night, but under the sunlight today, he realized that there were a lot of crops nted in this field.


    “All these were dug and nted by themst night?”


    Cheng Ling nodded. After a night of rain, coupled with the fact that this batch of seeds had been improved three or four times, the growth cycle was short. Now that they had sprouted, green leaves could be seen breaking out of the soil.


    “They’re growing so fast?” Lu Qi was slightly surprised.


    The air in the back of the mountain was very good. Coupled with the fragranceing from the field, Lu Qi felt much better. He now was not as tired as he used to be.


    Cheng Ling smiled. It was a smile of confidence. The sunlight shone on her face through the leaves. Her skin was fair and wless, with a tinge of red. It was a very healthyplexion.


    “Well, we’ve been researching and improving these for a long time.”


    She didn’t n to hide anything from Lu Qi. After all, he was her patient, so she couldn’t hide it from him for long.


    When Cheng Ling was rxing, she walked slowly. Lu Qi followed her pace and walked slowly.


    “Have you ever thought of going to a higher ce?”


    “A higher ce?”


    “Your skills are very good. If you can have more advanced equipment and technology, you will definitely have a great future. I have connections in the Capital Agricultural Research Institute. There are a few senior professors who are very close to me. If you are willing, you can go there to do research and study.”


    “You will definitely be appreciated there.”


    When Lu Qi said this, he sincerely hoped that Cheng Ling’s ability would be recognized by the world.


    He had seen many rare treasures, but this was the first time he had seen such and.


    This was a rare opportunity. Lu Qi thought that Cheng Ling would definitely agree, but he didn’t expect Cheng Ling to reject it so decisively.


    “Why?” Lu Qi asked with slight surprise.


    Faced with such an opportunity, everyone would agree with great gratitude. But not Cheng Ling, who was always out of his expectations.


    Cheng Ling frowned and tiptoed to pick a fruit from the tree.


    “There’s no reason. I’m doing well here. Besides, I’m about to take the college entrance exam. I don’t have time for that.”


    She walked to the stream and washed the wild fruit with water, then handed it to Lu Qi. The stream water was very cold. Lu Qi could feel the coolness of the water droplets when he took it.


    “Is that the reason?”


    The college entrance examination was just a stepping stone to enter a university. If Cheng Ling agreed to go to the research institute and follow the best professor, wouldn’t it be better than entering a university at random?


    Cheng Ling walked under the shade of the tree with her hands behind her back.


    “It’s not just for this reason. Someone has offered me an olive branch before, but I don’t want to be restricted. I just want to be myself. Moreover...”


    “I’ve lived here with my grandmother for many years. My grandmother can’t bear to leave this ce.”


    A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it the unique freshness of a rainy day. A few strands of hair on Cheng Ling’s forehead were blown into a mess. She reached out and casually fiddled with them.


    Indeed, a free soul like Cheng Ling should not be restricted.


    “You love your grandmother very much.” Lu Qi made a statement.


    “Of course, she is the kindest person in the world to me.. No matter what I do, she always supports me.”
