Chapter 58 Who the hell picked two vegetable leaves from me?

When Su Ranran got up the next day, Shen He had already left.

Looking at the unfamiliar furnishings in the room, her confused mind gradually became clear.

Shen He had already told her last night that he had to go to the military camp very early and would not be back until noon.

Now she is the only one in the family and she doesn't have to be as careful as she was in the Shen family.

Su Ranran simply washed up and ate the breakfast that Shen He brought for her.

Then he picked up the hoe that Shen He had brought back last night.

She planned to tidy up the yard, planting trees where necessary and grass where necessary.

She even prepared the seeds.

These are the first batch of experimental products cultivated in space.

The sapling looks like an ordinary fruit tree, but in fact the roots grow in space and the branches above are grafted.

However, this tree will have to be "brought back" from outside by Shen He in a few days, so that there will be a clear way out.

Yesterday Shen He brought back two hoes, one long and one short.

It turned out that everyone who lived in the family compound was given a small piece of dirt land and a large piece of sandy land.

The soil was transformed from the soil that the soldiers carried back home in bags from the land, and can be used to grow vegetables.

On sandy land, you can only grow things like sweet potatoes and peanuts.

As for rice, it cannot grow on this island. If the villagers on the island want to eat rice, most of them go fishing and trade it on land.

This practice continued until she left the island, and there was no improvement.

Su Ranran has been working in the queue for quite some time. Although she is not very good at farm work, at least she knows most of what she should know.

Besides, she is a gardener. She would be ashamed if she couldn't even take care of a small yard.

After a while, Su Ranran dug a piece of sand near the shower room.

Just as she was about to take out the grass seeds and scatter them, she suddenly heard someone calling her at the door.

"Mrs. Shen He, are you home?"

"I'm here."

Su Ranran quickly put down the hoe and walked towards the gate.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a woman with short hair and a serious look.

"Sister-in-law, please come in and sit down."

Su Ranran didn't know this person, but in the military compound, it was correct to call her sister-in-law.

Zhang Aizhen's eyes swept over her, and when she saw her skin that was so tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it, she wrinkled her brows slightly and continued, "I'm Cao Zhifang's daughter-in-law, Zhang Aizhen. I heard that you came yesterday, so I came to see you today."

It was originally a caring remark, but with her slightly serious tone, it seemed to be condescending.

Shen He had already told her last night who lived in the family compound. Su Ranran had a good memory and quickly realized that this was the head of the group's wife.

Su Ranran didn't care about her attitude. She just had to be herself and not give others any chance to talk about her.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I slept well last night and I feel more energetic today."

As she spoke, she politely invited the person into the yard.

Zhang Aizhen nodded and followed him into the yard.

In fact, the houses in the entire compound are exactly the same. From the yard to the room, you can't find any differences.

But she still looked around the yard out of habit.

His already serious face now looked even more like a director on a rural inspection tour.

Su Ranran didn't take it to heart and remained polite, making it hard to find fault with her.

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."

Last night Shen He told her that even if she met her superior's wife, she didn't need to lower her posture.

The only thing missing is that if you don't like it, you can just ignore it.

Su Ranran was touched by his care for her, but she would not really squander her husband's future.

One more friend means one more way out. On the contrary, if you make too many enemies, you never know when you might be tricked by someone.

Although she didn't like the serious-looking wife of the group leader, she was clearly there to see her, so she couldn't be impolite.

It's just hospitality, and it should be limited to superficial courtesy. If it's more, there will be nothing more.

Zhang Aizhen didn't want to sit in her living room. In fact, she didn't want to stay there any longer.

Just as I was about to refuse, I suddenly saw her digging a piece of land in the corner of the wall.

"Are you ready for this kind of thing?"

Su Ranran followed her hand and looked at the ground she had already dug, then nodded.

"Yes, I plan to grow something here." She did not reveal what she was going to grow.

Hearing this, Zhang Aizhen's already serious face frowned so much that she almost pinched a mosquito to death.

"You may not know much about the island at first. It's all sand, so it's hard for anything to grow."

An expression that said she was totally screwing around.

Su Ranran didn't react when she heard this. She knew the situation on Pingzhou Island very well.

Pingzhou Town is called a town, but in reality its area is less than one-tenth the size of Hongqi Commune. In addition, the island is far from the mainland, so it is not realistic for the island residents to transport large amounts of soil to improve the island's soil.

Moreover, it is not possible to grow vegetables in saline-alkaline sandy land simply by mixing some soil.

The sand here is different from the sand in the desert. The sand grains of Pingzhou Islands are larger, have poor adhesion, and contain a lot of salt and alkali, making it difficult for anything to grow.

The reason she wanted to plant something here was just to test how well the plants in the space could adapt to the sandy soil.

Thinking of this, she smiled and continued, "I heard Shen He say this before I came here, but this land is just sitting here empty anyway, so I'll just give it a try. If it doesn't work, it's just a waste of energy."

Zhang Aizhen had heard this many times, and seeing that she didn't listen to the advice, she was too lazy to say anything more.

Anyway, when the crops fail to grow, she will naturally know that what she said was right.

"Did Old Shen tell you that you two divided up a vegetable plot and a sand plot?"

As the regiment commander's wife and director of the family home, she has the obligation to arrange these matters for the new military wives.

However, when she saw the new military wife, who looked delicate and weak, she couldn't help but frown.

The family compound is neither big nor small, but there are a lot of things going on every day.

Today, either this military wife is at odds with that one, and tomorrow, that military wife is at odds with that one.

She takes care of all the big and small matters every day, and also has to take care of their trivial matters. After worrying about it for years, she has become serious.

Shen He had already told her everything about the situation in the family compound last night.

"I know, sister-in-law. I'm planning to go to the Wanwan base later to take a look."

The Bend Base is a vegetable field with mud inside, and the other one, called the South Island Base, is sandy land used specifically for growing sweet potatoes and other crops.

"It's enough to know. If you have any questions, come and ask me again."

Zhang Aizhen nodded and left, just as abruptly as when she arrived.

After Su Ranran sent the person out the door, she was about to continue working on her grass seeds when she suddenly heard an angry curse coming from outside.

"Who the hell picked two leaves from me?"
