Chapter 14

"What's wrong, are you having a nightmare?"

Seeing his wife suddenly sit up, Gu Kai rubbed his eyes and sat up as well.

"Gu Kai, I feel like my space seems to have gotten bigger!"

The surprise came too suddenly, and Chen Cong sat on the bed and dared not move.

She patted her husband hard and said, "Go, find me a tape measure, I need to measure it!"

"Oh, I'll go now." Gu Kai suddenly woke up and jumped off the bed without saying a word.

A few minutes later, he came back with a steel measuring tape.

"It's much bigger this time. I think it's several times bigger than before...

Hey, Gu Kai, my space has increased by 200 square meters! The previous 20 square meters are still there, right next to the expanded space, it's like there's an extra small room.

Ahhh! My space has increased tenfold! It’s now 220 square meters!”

Chen Cong threw away the measuring tape and excitedly jumped from the bed into her husband's arms, wrapping her legs around his waist with her mouth wide open.

He slapped his shoulders hard without caring about the severity of the impact.

Gu Kai held down his wife's moving hands.

Then he pulled her off his body and kissed her hard on the lips...

The young couple was making such a noise in the middle of the night that they naturally alarmed the Shen couple who lived on the same floor.

When they heard that their daughter's space had really expanded, they were naturally very happy.

"Call Lao Gu early tomorrow morning! Hey, I don't know when he will be back."

"Didn't he say yesterday that he wanted to wait for the Chinese medicine trade fair? Can we not wait? We don't have to buy those particularly expensive medicines, right?"

Seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law were anxious, Gu Kai had to explain for his father: "My dad is not waiting for medicine, he wants to buy some good seeds. Now is not the planting season, and good seeds are hard to find on the market, so he wants to see if he can buy them at the trade fair."

"How about I go to the antique market tomorrow and see if there's any suitable jade in the jade shop there. If there is, I'll buy some first."

Perhaps just as Chen Cong had guessed before, the quality of the essence stone does not lie in the type of stone, but in the spiritual power contained in it.

The formation that Gu Zhengchu had set up at home before he left, the other jade plaques and other things were still fine, but the pair of earrings had obviously lost their color, and were so dull that they seemed like they would break if squeezed.

Before Chencong was upgraded, no one noticed.

But when she upgraded, everyone thought of the same thing——

If this essence stone is purer, can the space become even bigger? !

Where there is hope, there is motivation.

Gu Kai went out early the next morning.

By noon he had brought back several jewelry boxes.

“I went to a jade shop first, and then I found out that jade is a very complicated thing, and you can go several times wrong with similar prices.

I didn’t understand and didn’t dare to buy anything, so I decided to go to the mall and look around, and then I passed by the pawn shop where we first sold jewelry.”

Listening to her husband talking about the origins of these gem pendants, bracelets, and rings, Chen Cong felt speechless.

The changes in the world are truly beyond people's expectations.

Just a few days ago they sold the jewelry at home at a low price, and the next moment they bought back the pawned ones from others at a high price.

Fortunately, the jewelry that Gu Kai selected looked really good. The styles didn’t matter. The key was that both the ruby ​​and the sapphire looked quite big.

The quality is also good.

The total cost was 120,000 yuan, which was within the affordable range.

Compared to expanding the space, this little money is nothing.

-

Gu Zhengchu returned to the villa three days later. Before he came back, he knew the news that the space had been upgraded, so he was naturally very happy.

After arriving home, he did not take time to rest. Instead, he took out a bag from the bag he had been carrying with him all the way and set up a new formation for the entire second floor.

The bag was not very big, and it was filled with half a bag of jade scraps. The jade scraps were of different sizes, the largest was only the size of a fingernail, and the smallest looked like a soybean.

"Don't underestimate this package. It looks small, but it's all good jade. I also came across it. The largest jade factory in Pingchuan was carving a jade piece to participate in a competition. It is said that the jade itself is worth several million!

I only got this through my local friends who used various connections. Ordinary people wouldn’t give me this much. For the smallest ones…”

Gu Zhengchu pinched a piece of jade dust not much bigger than a grain of rice and showed it to everyone.

"That's it. It's said that if it's inlaid into a necklace or bracelet, it can sell for a lot of money."

Although he was not away for long, it was obvious that Comrade Gu had thought a lot about jade and knew much more about it than before.

And there are some good things in his bag.

Although the things placed in various directions looked small and fragmented and had to be placed in handfuls and mixed as much as possible, their spiritual power was no worse than the gems that Gu Kai had spent hundreds of thousands to buy before.

Maybe it could be even better.

After all, ever since he set up the formation, everyone could clearly feel that the air on the entire second floor seemed fresher than before.

And because Chen Cong had already reached the next level, he could feel it more clearly.

She immediately noticed that her body had entered a warm state and she felt very sleepy, just like the first time she entered the formation.

This gave her more confidence in upgrading the space again.

The day after Gu Zhengchu returned, Lao Zheng and his workers entered the site.

They had come before to take measurements and draw the blueprints.

According to their idea, they should have entered the site two days earlier and dug out the cellar first, but they were stopped by Shen Jianyi.

The Shen family suggested that they build the wall first and then start construction after the wall was completed.

Lao Zheng and his colleagues have encountered this kind of situation many times.

Many wealthy people build basements not to use them as cellars, but to hide valuables. In this case, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

They promptly took out the confidentiality agreement and signed and stamped it, but at the same time they increased the price by 20,000.

The reason for the price increase is simple - after building the wall, it will be troublesome to transport materials and clean up the garbage, which will increase costs.

Shen Jianyi agreed without any hesitation.

Lao Zheng and his construction team are indeed professional and well-equipped.

In two days, a two-meter-high wall was erected outside the Shen family's house, covering the entire villa including the wasteland.

The wall was not made of ordinary bricks. Instead, steel bars as thick as thumbs were added inside the wall at any cost, and then concrete was poured. Anti-seismic panels were also installed on the outside.

Not to mention an earthquake, even if a car was driven at full speed it wouldn't break it!

That’s not all, stainless steel anti-climbing spikes and cameras have been installed on the top of the fence and on the upper part of the outer wall.

These things were also installed at Fulin's place.

After it was installed, Chen Cong went to take a look.

After seeing it, I only had one feeling - I felt that with it, not to mention humans, even a mouse couldn't crawl over.

After the wall was built, not to mention how shocked the Shen family was, everyone in the entire community was stunned!

It looks really awesome!

Although there are not many households in this community, the Shen family is not the only one living there.

After the installation, his family immediately became the most famous family in the community. People would come to see him from time to time, and those who knew him would even approach him and ask what was going on at home.

Shen Jianyi always dismissed them with the excuse that his children were not at home and he was worried about the three elderly people living in a remote place.

But this wall was so stimulating that Xu Xingxue came here again on his electric scooter on the afternoon of the day it was completed.

This time he did not go directly into the house, but walked around the Shen family's yard completely and did not speak for a long time after looking around.

After a while, he managed to utter: "Uncle, your house is quite big!"

Shen Jianyi smiled and said nothing.

Anyway, when the agreement was signed, it was clearly stated that they were allowed to build the wall.

Now that the capital has been built, what else is there to say?

To be honest, Shen Jianyi himself felt that the commotion was a bit too big and too eye-catching.

But my daughter and son-in-law both said that safety is always the most important thing.

He thought about it and realized that if the doomsday really came, who could he rely on except his own family?

This is not a city, so we can't rely on government troops to maintain order. Here we can only rely on ourselves.

There are many secrets at home and there are strangers around. If you don't take precautions in advance, you will only regret it in the future.

In the past, he thought that everyone in the village was nice and could take care of each other no matter what.

But ever since Xu Xingxue and his men were asking for 100,000 yuan for that piece of wasteland, Shen Jianyi realized that—

When it comes to interests, never test human nature.

If something really happens, it would be better to rely on a solid wall than on those people.

Therefore, he would rather let others point fingers at him behind his back than make any compromises due to concerns.

"It was your uncle Gu's idea."

Shen Jianyi smiled and said, "He is a serious person. Since he decided to grow herbs, he is very serious about it. Look, the land hasn't even been prepared yet, but he has already gone to visit the Chinese herbal medicine trade fair to see what herbs are in high demand.

Well, with all this going on, let alone making money, it would be a blessing if he didn’t lose all the money he had saved over the years!"

Shen Jianyi said this with a slightly complaining tone, which actually served as some explanation to Xu Xingxue.

Xu Xingxue didn't think Shen Jianyi was just trying to please him, he just kept clicking his tongue as he listened.

He exclaimed, "If Dean Gu dares to do this, he must be confident. Let the old dean take his time. If there is anything we can help you with, just let us know. If the herbal medicine business is really good, we can count on the old dean to help us and make a fortune with us villagers!"

Xu Xingxue thought very clearly - as the former director of the largest Chinese medicine hospital in the city, how could ordinary people compare with his vision?

If they dare to do this, it means they know what they are doing and what they grow can definitely be sold at a good price!

Otherwise, why be so cautious?

But no matter how cautious you are, if you want to make money in the future you will definitely have to do it on a large scale. How much can you grow by doing small things?

Yingshui Village is so close, so if the old dean decides to rent land in the future, the first thing he will consider will definitely be their village.

Putting aside other things, if you can't eat the meat, at least you can drink the broth, right?

Even if you can just learn the basics, it will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Although no one understood what Chinese herbal medicine Gu Zhengchu wanted to grow.

Just by looking at the wall, Xu Xingxue was shocked.

It also made him make up his mind to maintain good relations with the Shen family and Dean Gu.

With Xu Xingxue in charge, the renovation of the Shen family went very smoothly. The cellar was completed quickly and the fish pond was also dug.

Once the steel frame house is installed, the biggest project will basically be completed.

And at this moment, everyone received bad news from mobile phone push notifications - many volcanoes in Northern Europe erupted and the weather changed suddenly!

The author has something to say:

I revised the pre-collected copy today. I think it is slightly better than the previous version. If you are interested, please collect it~

Rebirth Back to the Day When the Natural Disaster Strikes

"Mom, wake up, we have to find my dad quickly."

This was the first sentence Ke Bei heard when she opened her eyes.

Then I felt my legs lighten as the heavy stone on them was lifted up and thrown aside by the boy in front of me who was less than six years old.

The severe pain came and she suddenly woke up, realizing that she was reborn, back to the moment before the natural disaster.

Returning with her was her son Cheng Tian, ​​who was born after the end of the world.

"Can you get up? Hurry up, the bridge is going to collapse!"

Without waiting for her to respond, her son grabbed her up, threw her on his shoulders and ran away.

Lying on the baby's back, Ke Bei closed her eyes silently, and understood——

The cub's superpowers returned with him.

--

After Cheng Gan retired from the army, he opened a car repair shop and had good business. In addition, one person's food fed the whole family, so he lived a happy life.

Until one day a bridge in the city collapsed, and a woman with a child found him and said to him -

"I am your wife and he is your son. Come with us now. We will die together as a family!"

Cheng Gan: “…”

I've never been in a relationship, so where do my wife and son come from?!
