Chapter 29 She Came for Huang Fengying
She planted some of each of the five varieties.
The peppers have already grown thin seedlings, which are green and very pleasing to the eye. The red dates have also sprouted seedlings as tall as an index finger. Among them, corn is growing the fastest and is already half a person's height. The lychees, like the date trees, have also sprouted seedlings.
Among the five kinds of seeds, only the ginseng seeds showed no movement.
Gu Yuehuai was not in a hurry either. He looked at the green seedlings in the field with a smile on his face.
She took out half a cup of well water from the space, sat on the bed, and tasted it carefully. The well water was cool and refreshing, with a faint sweetness. Not to mention that well water can strengthen the body, even if it can't, it tastes very good just to drink as water.
After drinking a glass of water, my whole body felt much more comfortable.
Gu Yuehuai lay on the bed with a smile on her lips. Tonight was her real rebirth. She was ahead of Tian Jing. With the advantage and the protection of Sumeru Space, she must live a wonderful life with her family in this life!

The next morning, the rain gradually stopped and the team leaders rang the bell at the village entrance again.
Gu Zhifeng woke up Gu Tinghuai early in the morning. After eating two sweet potatoes, they went to the village head in high spirits.
Two people from Gujia Street came at once, which shocked the members of the Dalaozi Production Brigade.
Chen Yuesheng glanced at the two of them with a gloomy face, but did not say anything sarcastic.
When he went back to check last night, he found that the money he had saved was indeed less, and it was not just ten yuan!
Chen Yin didn't know when she found out where he hid his money, and she would take it out to spend from time to time. As a result, after saving for so long, not skimping on food or clothes, he only managed to save more than 30 yuan!
This number is still a long way from his goal. Last night, Chen Yin was brought back by her uncle Lei Dachui, and he was very angry. But now that things have come to this, looking at his sister's pitiful appearance of silently shedding tears, he can no longer blame her.
When most of the members had gathered, the branch secretary Wang Fu began to speak and talked about the farm work to be done today.
Afterwards, the team leader assigned tasks to the team members and asked each of them to go to the fields to do a job.
Gu Zhifeng was assigned to the third team, but he was not troubled and was given the job of carrying manure.
Although he had a bad reputation, he was very good at dealing with people. On the way to the field, he took out his treasured cigarettes and chatted with the captain about all kinds of things, and soon became friends with the members of the third team.
Gu Tinghuai was not as lucky as his father and was assigned to the second production team.
The captain of the second team is Chen Yuesheng's father Chen Kang. Yesterday, the family was in chaos because of Chen Yin's matter, and the whole family didn't sleep well. Chen Kang is tall and strong, and he stared at Gu Tinghuai with a sinister look.
He said, "Our team is currently digging a river, so you can go and dig the river."
Gu Tinghuai glanced at Chen Kang without saying a word. He took the distributed farm tools and went down to the river with everyone else.
On the way, a member bumped Gu Tinghuai with his shoulder: "Hey, did you offend Captain Chen?"
Gu Tinghuai didn't say anything.
The member laughed and said, "Digging the canal is the hardest and most tiring job in the team. You are so delicate and tender that I don't think you can stand straight after working for a whole day."
Gu Tinghuai still didn't say anything, he walked in front with a hoe on his shoulder, grunting.
Their family is already changing. This is a good start. He is not afraid of any hard work.

Gu Yuehuai was awakened by the sound of Gu Ruihuai cooking.
She sat up and entered the Sumeru space.
Gu Yuehuai stood in a space with fresh air. Everything he experienced last night was not a dream. The crops planted in the fields had grown up. The peppers had grown to the height of his knees. Under the lush green leaves were strings of bright red peppers, which was very pleasing to the eye.
The jujubes and lychees also grew into saplings as tall as her, with dense leaves. It looked like they would bloom and bear fruit in less than two days. Gu Yuehuai drooled at the thought of the red jujubes and juicy lychees.
What surprised her most was the ripe corn.
A row of corns stands in the field. Each corn has two corn cobs wrapped in tender green coats. Peel one open at random, revealing the neatly golden corn kernels inside. A unique corn fragrance fills your nose.
Gu Yuehuai grinned and picked off all the corn cobs, twenty in total.
When the corn cob separated from the stalk, the stalk actually aged and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally completely merged into the dark soil, providing nutrients for the next batch of seeds.
Gu Yuehuai was dumbfounded and could only sigh: It really is worthy of being a treasure from the immortals!
She collected the corn cobs and put them into the storeroom of the thatched hut. By then the corn outside had been harvested, and if she took the fresh corn out, it would surely arouse suspicion.
Gu Yuehuai looked at the vacant land and decided to go find some rice and wheat seeds, as staple food was the most important thing.
These days, staple food is hard currency.
When Gu Yuehuai left the Xumi space and was putting on her clothes, she suddenly found that the material around her waist, which was originally tight, had suddenly loosened a little. She was stunned for a moment, and then gestured in disbelief, and found that she had really lost some weight!
Why?
Gu Yuehuai's eyes flashed slightly, well water!
If there is any difference between today and yesterday, it is that she drank a cup of well water from the Sumeru Space. According to our ancestors, well water can strengthen the body, so, it also cleared the impurities in her body in disguise?
Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai raised his hand and touched his face.
As long as she insists on drinking the well water in Xumi Space every day, she should be able to lose weight in no time, right?
At this time, Gu Xihuai's clear voice came from outside: "Gu Yuehuai, eat."
"Hey! Here I come!" Gu Yuehuai responded, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
There was porridge cooked with brown rice in the pot, and she only scooped half a bowl. Gu Ruihuai and Gu Xihuai were sitting on the kang, each holding a bowl in their hands. The former sneered when he saw that Gu Yuehuai only scooped half a bowl of porridge.
In her opinion, weight loss is just a pretense to make Lao Gu and the eldest brother feel sorry for them.
Gu Yuehuai turned a deaf ear to his sneer, finished his porridge, and went to Director Huang's house with the colored pencils.
Director Huang is different from ordinary brigade members. She does not need to work in the fields to earn work points. She only needs to run around to mediate the relationships between women and neighbors, and she will be able to get a large amount of food rations at the end of the year. This is the difference between people.
Ding Xinxin was not at home and had gone to the fields.
Although she was only eight years old, she was also a small laborer in the family. Some light work such as pulling grass for pigs, herding cattle, chopping wood, digging soil, etc. were assigned to the younger children in the brigade.
However, she didn't come here for Ding Xinxin.
She came here for Huang Fengying.
Although she could take the gold bars to the black market to exchange for money, it was not a long-term solution after all. What she had to do now was to change the impression of herself in the hearts of the villagers. The first thing she had to do was to find a way to earn work points, and earn more work points!
She had already thought of a solution. Borrowing colored pencils was only the first step. Drawing a portrait of Ding Xinxin was the second step. As for the third step, it was naturally to find Huang Fengying and seize the opportunity.
