It was worth remembering that in the United States, farmland is measured in acres.
An acre is significantly larger than a Chinese *mu*, so even a third of an acre was a sizable plot—equivalent to a full two *mu*.
And an area of two *mu* was nothing to sneeze at.
Then, Feng Mountain walked past the lettuce patch and came to a carrot patch.
He saw rows of carrots standing straight and tall, each one as thick as a person's wrist.
"You grew these, too?"
"Yep! Ms. Maria carefully tends to these vegetables in the garden every day, weeding the patch whether it's raining or snowing," Tammy replied cheerfully.
"She's worked hard."
Feng Mountain looked at the slightly shy Maria, his eyes full of admiration.
'When I brought her back from Kivalina to the Crown Territory, I just wanted to give her a new environment so she wouldn't have to live in a nightmare.'
'Who knew this girl would give me such a huge surprise.'
Maria shook her head and took Tammy's hand.
