The weather at the beginning of May was already tinged with traces of summer heat. However, for the hardworking and honest peasant families, such warmth hardly registered— a jug of water, a straw hat, and a hoe were all they needed to commence a day's work.
This year, Mo Family's thirty mu of dry land had once again been planted entirely with soybeans. Mo Yan watered them with Spirit Spring Water twice and had the weeds pulled once. She hadn't paid much attention to them afterward, but they had grown so much better than those that had been fastidiously cared for, and meticulously weeded three times by others, that it was simply disheartening to look at. Thus, her being blessed by the deities was once more "confirmed" with solid "proof."
The growth of the fruit trees in Mo's Fruit Garden was also thriving. Since March and April, various fruit seedlings had blossomed in succession. After they withered, the branches of every single fruit tree were laden with small, green fruits.
