After everything was ready, Xiao Xian began to pack the underlayer of soil over the sown rice, completing the initial phase of dry cultivation of seedlings.
At that time, Zhu Shijun hadn't even sown his rice yet.
Xiao Xian didn't voice it, but she was somewhat annoyed in her heart that Zhu Shijun didn't take her farmland seriously. Upon learning that her grandfather was going to use the water cultivation method for rice seedlings, she contrarily opted for the dry land cultivation method. Different cultivation practices required different sowing times. By her calculations, her seedlings were sown a week earlier than Zhu Shijun's water-grown seedlings.
Seedlings planted in mid-February could be transplanted in early March. During the process from sowing to the growth of seedlings, someone was even more anxious than Xiao Xian.
