The seedlings in the field had already grown to a green color. The rice seeds had already grown first leaves, and so had the wild rice that Li Yu had scattered. However, those wild rice leaves were clearly half an inch taller than the home rice. They looked to be growing well.
After working for more than half a month, the wheat was finally all taken back home, leaving some women to dry the wheat in the field. Ruyi led the long-term laborers to plow and level the fields to prepare for the next planting.
Li Yu plucked a wild seedling. Seeing that the seedlings were not as oily green as the home seedling and that they were also longer, she turned around and plucked a seedling from the field. Seeing that the seedlings were thick, had many white roots, and had good green leaves, she said happily to Zhou Jia, "I'm finally relieved. This batch of seedlings is still very good."
