Now that the house is taken care of, it's time to start tending to the vegetable garden. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late.

Jianshu doesn't have much experience in growing vegetables. Although there are a lot of plants planted in the land in the space, she doesn't need to worry about them.

She didn't want to trouble other people. After all, what she took out were the seeds in the space. Who knew if anyone would find out something was wrong? She didn't dare to take the risk, so she could only figure it out by herself.

Fortunately, she had collected a lot of books in her previous life, including some on agriculture. According to the books, there shouldn't be any major problems. Even if the harvest was poor, it didn't matter. She didn't rely on it for a living anyway.

There were quite a few seeds in the space. Jianshu picked out some common seeds of the season, and also some that she and Gu Mingjing liked to eat, among which peppers were planted in particularly large numbers.

She likes spicy food. Although Gu Mingjing is not picky about food, he also likes the hot sauce she makes. It is cold here in winter, and eating something spicy can warm you up.

Jianshu also has more beans and tomatoes. Tomatoes can be used not only as vegetables, but also as fruits. They taste great when stir-fried, served cold, or candied. They can also be made into tomato sauce or dried into tomatoes. There are many ways to cook them.

There is no exaggeration for the taste of beans. The taste of dried beans and pork is so good that you will never get tired of it. Sour beans are even better with rice. They are a hundred times more delicious than fresh beans and can be stored for a longer time.

A lot of other eggplants, pumpkins, loofahs, cucumbers, and green vegetables were also planted. Except for a part of the area specially reserved, the entire backyard was filled up.

The empty area is used to build a woodshed. Although winter is still several months away, Jianshu has already started preparing.

Thinking of the Northeast winter scenes she had seen in historical documents, her hoarding habit couldn't be helped.

Before winter comes, be sure to stockpile enough firewood and food to last the winter, and fill the woodshed and cellar to the brim.

At that time, she would just need to stay in the house and roast sweet potatoes and chestnuts by the fire.

Having not done much farm work, Jianshu worked slowly. He worked for the whole morning and had only finished half of the work. At noon, he cooked sweet potato porridge and made some fried tofu for lunch.

After dinner, she continued to work, working for a while and then resting for a while, and finally finished before the sun set.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Jianshu stood at the door of the backyard with his hands on his hips, looking at the neatly divided vegetable plots in front of him, his heart filled with a sense of pride.

Look, this is the kingdom she conquered!

She dug all of this out with a hoe, planted the seeds herself, and planted the seedlings one by one in the soil, without relying on anyone else.

She stood proudly at the door for a while, and couldn't help taking many photos of her work with her camera. It was not until it got dark that she left reluctantly.

When walking through the vegetable garden towards the house, Jianshu was very careful with every step, for fear of stepping on her seedlings.

At the same time, I was thinking about taking a walk to the back mountain tomorrow and picking up some stones to spread in the gullies. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about accidentally stepping on the seedlings or stepping in the mud when it rains.

Moreover, when the time comes, you can use stones to surround the vegetable garden, which will divide it into pieces. Not only will it look more beautiful, but it will also be easier to maintain.

There are many benefits.

At most it would just take some time to find the stones, but what she has the most right now is time.

As soon as she entered the house, she ran into Gu Mingjing who came to look for her.

"Wife, what's wrong with you? Why is your head all sweaty?" Looking at Jianshu who was sweating profusely, Gu Mingjing hurriedly came up to her and asked with concern.

Seeing him, Jian Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. Without bothering to answer his question, he pulled him towards the backyard.

He pulled the person to the backyard door, pointed at the vegetable patch and said proudly: "Look, I planted all of them, all by myself!"

He even specifically emphasized one person, which shows how proud he is.

"Wow—you grew all these vegetables by yourself? My wife, you're amazing!" Gu Mingjing was very flattering, praising her like she was free. "I knew my wife was the best. She grew such great vegetables the first time. She's really capable..."

Jianshu immediately smiled and was very pleased with his praise.

"Ahem, it's just okay, not as good as you say." She put her hand to her mouth and coughed twice, pretending to be modest.

"No, my wife is the best!" Gu Mingjing said firmly.

Jian Shu was overjoyed. He took Gu Mingjing's hand and walked towards the vegetable garden. "Come on, I'll take you to see it. You'll be able to eat the vegetables I grow soon. From now on, I'll take care of all the vegetables for our family!"

"The vegetables grown by my wife must be the most delicious!" Gu Mingjing held the little hand and continued to speak sweetly.

"That's right!" Jian Shu was no longer modest and looked confident.

We are all family, why should we act so fake?

You know, these are all seeds from the space, so the taste of the seeds they grow will definitely be good.

"Watch the road and follow my footsteps. Don't step on the vegetables." Jianshu kept looking back and reminding him again and again.

"Don't worry, you won't step on it!" Gu Mingjing followed her carefully, closely following her every step.

His wife was in high spirits, and if he stepped on the seedlings, she would definitely not forgive him.

Jianshu took him for a walk in the vegetable garden and talked to him about his future plans.

Things like looking for rocks, planting more vegetables, and drying and pickling the vegetables after they're ready...

Gu Mingjing listened with a smile, nodded from time to time, and responded with a word or two, but occasionally glanced at the little seedlings, as if thinking about something.

After showing off, Jianshu touched his hungry stomach and stopped eating with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

After working all afternoon, the porridge I had at noon had long been digested.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Hearing her stomach growling, Gu Mingjing withdrew his thoughts and walked back holding her hand.

"Let's eat the pig intestines. I washed them earlier but haven't eaten them yet. We need to eat them quickly. Then make some smashed cucumbers. I still have a lot of sweet potato porridge from lunch, so it's perfect to eat with the porridge."

"Okay, I'll make the smashed cucumber, can you make the pig intestines?" The pig intestines he made were not as delicious as his wife's.

"Okay! But you have to wash the dishes after dinner!" Jianshu agreed but also put forward a condition.

"Okay." Gu Mingjing nodded.

Thus, the two reached an agreement on dinner.

This is how life should be, discussing and working together.
