"But I can’t help mother much; mother alone doesn’t have the strength to cultivate such a large piece of wasteland."
Qiong Hua glanced at the barren land in front of her and did not refute Jun Ning’s words.
"Yi Yi, cultivating the wasteland doesn’t necessarily rely solely on mother; mother can also seek help from other people in the Cold Palace. This problem isn’t really a problem."
"Mother is thinking about something else right now."
Upon hearing this solution, Jun Ning’s eyes lit up, and he was so happy he almost started jumping. It was another of Qiong Hua’s concerns that held him back, stopping him from voicing his excitement.
"Apart from this, what else is there?"
"Growing vegetables requires seeds!"
Qiong Hua knew very well how rare these things were.
If they cleared the wasteland but didn’t have seeds to plant, all efforts would be wasted.
Jun Ning was not worried about this at all. He patted his chest and said, "Mother, don’t worry, Yi Yi has a way to get them."
"Really?" Qiong Hua was skeptical.
"Mother, don’t you believe me?" Jun Ning asked back. The most update n0vels are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Qiong Hua was taken aback by the question.
Did she believe in Jun Ning?
Perhaps she didn’t in the past.
She knew her son best; the problems he was born with, his congenital weaknesses, chronic illnesses, his reticence, and his reluctance to move. His greatest hobby was basking in the sun.
It was indeed not easy for him to have lived with her up to this day.
But recently, he had been inexplicably lively, chattering nonstop every day.
What she never dared to imagine was that he even dared to sneak out of the Cold Palace to the Imperial Kitchen to find food.
He was indeed bold and daring.
A completely different person from before.
Since he spoke so confidently about getting the seeds, perhaps he truly could. It wasn’t merely idle talk.
"I believe you." Qiong Hua nodded gently.
"Then shall we start cultivating the wasteland from today? Shall we?" Jun Ning blinked at Qiong Hua.
"Okay, mother will help you find people, starting today. If we hurry, maybe we can plant another round of vegetables before the start of autumn."
"Then Yi Yi will do it with mother."
Jun Ning and Qiong Hua wandered around the Cold Palace, looking for people who could help cultivate the wasteland.
Who said everyone in the Cold Palace was crazy?
There were still some who weren’t, probably about four or five people!
It’s just that after being confined here, they suffered heavy psychological blows and lived their days in a daze, without purpose.
Being like Qiong Hua, tidying herself up, raising a child, and still maintaining a normal mindset was indeed rare.
When Jun Ning and Qiong Hua found these relatively normal people, they were leaning against the wall basking in the sun, looking utterly lifeless.
No wonder the guards of the Cold Palace would automatically ignore them.
This lifeless demeanor, a look of having nothing to live for, truly was almost like being dead.
Seeing them , Qiong Hua, feeling both regretful and sorrowful, roughly explained the matter of growing vegetables to them.
It was clear they could understand what Qiong Hua was saying, yet they didn’t say a word, staring back blankly at Jun Ning and Qiong Hua.
Jun Ning understood that psychological ailments are harder to cure than physical ones.
No matter how much they said at the moment, they might not get a response.
Better to give them some time to think it over properly.
Leaving a message, "If you are willing to help us cultivate the wasteland, we welcome you to join us at any time. Of course, you won’t be helping us for nothing; once we successfully grow vegetables, we’ll ensure each of you can eat fresh vegetables every day."
