Having never gotten up this early before, Cheng Zhi was bored and had no one to talk to, so she opened Bilibili and started watching a video about a beginner planting vegetables.
After watching countless vegetable-growing videos, everyone gradually got up. Xiao Feiran yawned, sticking his head out of his sleep, which looked like a bird's nest. "Goodness, what time is it? Why isn't it dawn yet?"
Huang Yiyi looked full of energy. Wearing a nightgown, she jumped down from the upper bunk while holding onto the railing and peered out from the glass door.
Cheng Zhi: "Big brother, you're showing too much skin!"
Zheng Wan: "Not ladylike at all, like an excited big female monkey."
"...Stop cursing! Stop cursing!" Huang Yiyi covered her ears, indicating that she didn't want to hear it at all.
It was almost eight o'clock, and it was still pitch black outside. Huang Yiyi knew that it would be dark for the next week.
"Friends, stop looking and come eat."
No one knew when Chen Siyu entered the space. The cooked rice porridge was steaming, and the steamed buns and eggs were emitting a fragrant aroma.
Cheng Zhi was in bed number 2, in the middle of the dormitory. She had already skillfully pulled out the small table next to the cabinet.
Chen Siyu set the things on the table, Cheng Zhi set the table and provided tissues, Xiao Feiran served porridge, Zheng Wan peeled eggs, and Huang Yiyi contributed draft paper to cushion her bottom. Everything was so orderly.
Perhaps because she had gotten up early, it was still a bit chilly sitting on the floor with only a thin sheet of paper between her and the floor. Xiao Feiran seemed to remember something and picked up her phone to browse the school's secondhand groups.
“We’ll eat together every meal from now on. It’s not a good idea to keep sitting on the floor like this. We can’t even stretch our legs out. How about we buy a table?”
With an egg stuffed in her mouth, Cheng Zhi mumbled, "Where can I buy it? Physical stores are closed, and online shopping doesn't work either."
After climbing the stairs for half a day, Xiao Feiran finally found what she was looking for. She put her phone in front of everyone, and an automatic mahjong table came into view.
Looking at the photo, Zheng Wan read out the words that had been photoshopped on it, word by word: "70% new fully automatic mahjong table, self-pickup at Shuhui Building 832, Donghu Campus, not 1699! Not 699! A rock-bottom price of only 99!"
"Wuhu," Cheng Zhi said admiringly, giving a thumbs up. Chen Siyu clapped repeatedly, "It has to be Xiao; he can find anything."
After being praised, Xiao Feiran quickly finished her porridge and headed out to get the mahjong table.
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Cheng Zhi looked out the window with some concern. "This wind is so strong, it feels like it could blow a person away."
Huang Yiyi was also worried, so she grabbed a 1.5-liter bottle of laundry detergent from the corner and handed it to Xiao Feiran, "How about... you add some weight?"
"..." Xiao Feiran was speechless. "Can't you be a little more reliable?"
Looking at the laundry detergent in her hand, Huang Yiyi fell into thought. She put down the detergent and picked up the 3kg household barbell that had been gathering dust under the table.
The bright pink barbell was so dazzling that Xiao Feiran couldn't bear to look at it. He patted Huang Yiyi's shoulder and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't take the things. My lower body is stable, and 832 is just across the street. I won't be blown away in just a few steps."
After saying that, he went out. Less than two minutes later, Xiao Feiran returned, pushing the mahjong table.
Cheng Zhi examined the mahjong table from top to bottom and noticed a strange grid on the table pillar. She didn't know what it was for, but after searching online, she discovered that it was actually a heater.
Plug it in, turn on the switch, and sure enough, an orange light comes on, and it warms up in just two or three seconds.
"Great! I bought a table and also found a heater. I won't be afraid of getting cold anymore." Cheng Zhi patted the big guy with great satisfaction.
Because he got up early, the morning seemed very long, but 806 didn't sit idle. He plunged into the space to try to grow vegetables.
Looking at the land that had doubled in size, the five people began to think.
Cheng Zhi picked up the tablet and started writing and drawing. "Our land isn't very big, so we need to plan it out properly."
"For staple foods, we need to grow more filling foods. In my past life, I couldn't find a single grain of rice even if I went hungry for two days. I don't want to eat dirt again."
Upon hearing Xiao Feiran's words, Cheng Zhi and Chen Siyu's expressions darkened. In their previous lives, when the three of them were so hungry they could barely walk, they had indeed eaten dirt. The texture and taste of it made them unhappy just thinking about it.
Cheng Zhi waved her hand dismissively, allocating half of the land, "Shall we use half of the land to grow staple foods?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zheng Wan poured out all the seeds she had bought, rummaged through them, and took out seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, and corn.
After another half hour of discussion, 806 finally finished discussing the allocation of all the land: half would be planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the other half with lettuce, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. As for scallions and garlic, they could be grown hydroponically.
"Wait, it seems like we forgot something..." Xiao Feiran was a little confused, and after rolling his eyes, he still couldn't remember what he had forgotten.
It wasn't until a rooster crowed from a cardboard box in the corner that the five women remembered they had also bought chickens and rabbits.
As soon as the box was opened, a chicken flew out, flapping its wings and squawking wildly at the group, as if angrily rebuking these women who had completely forgotten about them.
“I don’t understand, but it must have been pretty vulgar.” Cheng Zhi looked at the chickens and then at the ground, saying to Xiao Feiran, “Master Xiao, it’s time to show your true skills.”
The four people took their tools, turned the soil, sowed seeds, fertilized, and watered the land. In no time, they had finished planting everything. The hydroponic crops were also packed up and placed in pots on the sink. Meanwhile, Mr. Xiao dismantled the bed board in the space, made a chicken coop, and even made a small cage for the rabbits.
Everyone was sweating a lot and their bodies were dirty, but they didn't seem tired at all. Their eyes shone as they looked at the still barren land. In a few months, this land would surely be lush and green, and they would no longer go hungry.
