My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

The induced mutation-inducing tomato seedlings grew rapidly, and the transplanting day was fast approaching. Before dawn, Wu Tao dragged everyone else out of bed.

"Get up! It's 5:30! We need to finish planting all twenty acres today!"

Liu Xudong poked his head out from under the covers, his hair a mess, his eyes still closed: "Captain~ I'm not awake yet~"

He froze after saying that. Wu Tao stared at him expressionlessly, as if he had been infected by Lin Muyang.

Liu Xudong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them again, and said in a deep male voice, "I. Get. Up." He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, as if reciting a spell.

Xiao Kui walked past the door holding her phone, the title of her live stream was "Giant tomato transplanting site, stoic guy personally directing."

The comments section is already flooding in:

"Did Liu just mention 'other people' again?"

"Another iconic scene."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to break free from these side effects."

On the windowsill, the cactus turned all its tiny fingers toward Liu Xudong, neatly raising its middle finger.

Xiao Kui pointed the camera at the cactus: "Family, Middle Finger Bro is cursing Da Liu. He probably thinks that referring to himself as 'that person' is too effeminate."

Comment: "The guy with the middle finger is the real man."

"No, it's a real plant."

"Middle Finger Guy: If I could speak, I would have cursed him out long ago."

Inside the greenhouse, Lin Muyang was already inspecting the abortion trays.

The germination rate of more than seventy trays of seeds was 100%, and the seedlings had already grown three or four true leaves, which were lush and green, with very thick stems.

He squatted down and gently pressed the seedling substrate with his fingers; the moisture level was just right.

Big Orange squatted on the control panel, sniffed the acupuncture plate with its yellow nose, and sneezed.

It scratched at the edge of the burrow with its paws. Lin Muyang glanced at it and said, "Don't move."

The orange cat retracted its paw and started scratching at the ground with its eyes instead.

Screaming Sister was in the corner, her leaves tightly closed, probably still asleep.

Xiao Kui walked over and gently poked it.

"Ah—!!!" The mimosa screamed, its leaves suddenly opening wide, startling Xiao Kui.

"Family members, good morning everyone, it's Screaming Sister's free morning alarm clock."

Xiao Kui rubbed her ears: "Screaming Sister's wake-up call service should be promoted nationwide."

When Middle Finger heard Screaming Sister's scream, he immediately turned his finger towards her and gave her the middle finger.

The screaming girl screamed again, this time her voice was short and forceful, like she was cursing back.

"Middle Finger Guy and Scream Girl are fighting again. It seems they might have been enemies in their past lives."

Comment: "Maybe they're a couple."

One flight per day.

"????"

"Screaming Sister: Is it any of your business?"

"Middle Finger Guy: Shut up."

Wu Tao led the others in, the six of them lined up in a row: "Teacher Lin, the land has been prepared, the ridges have been made, and the mulch has been applied. Now we're just waiting for the seedlings."

Lin Muyang nodded, picked up a tray of seedling trays, and handed it to Wu Tao: "One meter between rows and eighty centimeters between plants."

Giant tomatoes should not be planted too densely, otherwise it will affect nutrient absorption.

Keep the planting hole 10 centimeters deep. After placing the seedling in, make sure to press it firmly, and then water it thoroughly.

Wu Tao remembered Lin Muyang's words and carried the acupuncture plate to the ground. The others followed behind, each carrying their own acupuncture plate.

The guy with the middle finger gave them the middle finger as they walked away. Lin Muyang hugged the guy with the middle finger and they walked towards the field.

The entire twenty acres of land were covered with white plastic film, which reflected a blinding light under the sun.

Wu Tao was at the front, digging a hole with a small shovel. The hole was exactly ten centimeters deep, so deep that he didn't even need to measure it.

Liu Xudong followed behind him, specifically responsible for releasing the seedlings.

He squatted down and carefully dug a seedling out of the seedling tray. The substrate around the roots was intact and had not crumbled.

He carefully placed the seedling into the hole, supporting it with his left hand while using his right hand to cover the roots with soil and press it down firmly.

The movements were quite standard, but he muttered something like, "They've already put it away."

Xiao Zhao, a fellow soldier standing next to him, burst out laughing.

Liu Xudong turned and glared at him, wanting to curse, but what came out was: "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Zhao's face turned red as he squatted on the ground, his shoulders shrugging.

Without turning his head, Wu Tao said, "Xu Dong, do an extra five kilometers of training tonight."

Liu Xudong tried to explain, saying, "Captain, I—", but he misspoke: "Captain, I didn't do it on purpose~"

After saying that, he suddenly covered his mouth, his eyes wide open.

Wu Tao finally turned around and looked at Liu Xudong, who managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I will change."

Wu Tao paused for three seconds: "Run five kilometers before making any changes."

Liu Xudong resignedly lowered his head and continued planting the seedlings.

Xiao Zhao was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that she almost couldn't breathe.

Lin Muyang walked over, squatted down, and carefully inspected the seedling that Liu Xudong had placed. The row spacing, plant spacing, depth, and soil compaction all met the standards.

"The seedlings were planted well," Lin Muyang rarely praised.

Liu Xudong looked up, his eyes a little red: "Teacher Lin, I really will change."

Lin Muyang glanced at him: "Okay, finish releasing the seedlings first. Practice your tone and vocabulary more when you go for your run tonight."

The comment section read: "The way the expressionless guy comforts others: 'Finish your work first.'"

"You wouldn't understand the gentleness of this expressionless guy."

"Da Liu is so pitiful, but I can't help but laugh."

As the sun rose higher and higher, the seedlings in the field stood up in rows, neat and orderly, like soldiers in formation.

Big Orange had somehow slipped out of the lab and was squatting on the edge of the field, its yellow nose pointed at the seedlings, like a supervisor.

Its tail wagged slowly, occasionally letting out a "meow".

As Liu Xudong passed by, he whispered to Daju, "Daju, you're here to supervise the construction too~"

Realizing he had said something wrong, he immediately shut up and nervously looked around.

Wu Tao shouted from a distance, "I can hear you, add another kilometer."

Liu Xudong wailed, "Captain—no, I didn't mean to—" Wu Tao ignored him.

The comment section read: "Da Liu already owes ten kilometers today."

"I'm afraid his aftereffects will never heal."

"Big Orange: I'm here to supervise the construction, not to listen to your whining."

The guy holding the middle finger in Lin Muyang's arms immediately turned his finger towards Liu Xudong, keeping his middle finger raised and unmoving.

Xiao Kui pointed the camera at the middle finger guy: "Family members, the middle finger guy's posture hasn't changed since this morning."

Besides "Screaming Sister," it now has another target today: Liu Cixin.

The comments section read: "Middle Finger Guy is definitely got the temperament he deserves."

"If you don't like something, just criticize it. I really envy the middle finger guy."

"I like it more and more the more I look at it. I want to buy more cacti and place them in my home and office."

At 3 p.m., the transplanting of ten acres was completed, and the remaining ten acres will be completed tomorrow.

Standing at the edge of the field, hands on his hips, Wu Tao couldn't help but sigh, "It's even more tiring than digging trenches back in the day."

Liu Xudong squatted on the edge of the field, his legs were weak, but he dared not speak, for fear of blurting out "My legs are weak," his face turning red with embarrassment.

Xiao Zhao handed him a bottle of water, which he took, drank a sip, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then whispered, "Thanks~".

Although the sound was very soft, Wu Tao's ears were like radar.

"Add one more kilometer."

Liu Xudong immediately dropped to the ground.

Big Orange walked over, sniffed his face with its yellow nose, sneezed, and turned away.

Even in Lin Muyang's arms, "Middle Finger Guy" was still giving Liu Xudong the middle finger.
