Chapter 148: Small Garden
After breakfast, the weather became a bit hot again and it was impossible to stay outdoors.
Fortunately, Xu Xinxin had previously built two "low-profile" versions of constant temperature chambers. They are not used to cultivate seeds, but can be used to grow some ordinary flowers and plants.
Xu Xinxin brought all the flowers and plants that had doubled in size to the constant temperature room, picked out some that were easy to grow and continued to force them to grow, and then planted them outside and kept them there, intending to turn them into an open space for a garden.
Half a month later, she managed to grow all kinds of flowers and plants and fill the empty space in the garden with them.
In the past half month, the radio has been broadcasting the latest news about the suppression of mutant beasts in the wilderness every day, from the initial "Be careful" to "You can go to the vicinity of the river as appropriate", and finally to "You can go to the wilderness as appropriate".
However, half a month later, Xia Runlin was still making a small bed in Xu Xinxin's room. He said that he was worried that she would be scared to sleep alone at night.
Well... She does feel safe with him sleeping next to her, but the wilderness is not that dangerous now, and she can protect herself.
In the end, Xia Runlin was packed up by Xu Xinxin and thrown back into the next room.
It’s not that Xu Xinxin doesn’t like being with him, it’s just... he’s quite handsome, and with him around every day, she’s afraid that one day she won’t be able to control herself and lower her “bottom line”.
So Xia Runlin should just sleep next door.
The open spaces in the garden are all planted, but because there are so many kinds of flowers and plants, they are crowded together and look a bit messy from a distance.
But it doesn’t matter. This garden is just a place to “keep seeds”. Next, Xu Xinxin will select some flowers and plants here and plant them in various corners of the farm.
It doesn’t matter if these ordinary flowers and plants mutate. She has many little “helpers” at home. As long as the flowers and plants mutate, they can be directly pulled out, and you can also relieve stress at the same time.
First, Xu Xinxin planted some climbing morning glories, wisterias, trumpet creepers and the like near the pavilion.
These flowers climb on the pillars and top of the pavilion, and the blooming flowers hang down naturally, swaying gently in the wind. When people sit in the pavilion, they can't help but relax.
Such a pavilion is very suitable for sitting in your spare time.
The pavilion has become more beautiful, and the land near it also needs to be planted with some good things.
Xu Xinxin's land near the pavilion was neatly planned and divided into many small square plots of land.
Then she planted some melons or beans in these fields, and at regular intervals, she planted a row of flowers that looked like trees.
For example, camellia, gardenia, tree rose, tree bougainvillea, forsythia and so on.
In the vegetable garden, some small flowers that look like shrubs are planted at regular intervals, which are quite beautiful.
Xu Xinxin worked for a long time and stood in the pavilion, looking at her results, feeling very satisfied.
The only drawback is that the further away, the more bare the land is. It would be better if there were large tracts of rice, wheat or corn planted there. It doesn't matter what you plant, as long as it's in large tracts.
At that time, as long as the wind blows, the large field of crops will be carried away by the wind, layer by layer like water ripples, which is still very visually impactful.
But don't be impatient about these things, take your time, there's no need to rush.
Xu Xinxin had a rough idea of her final farm blueprint in her mind, and after calculating the workload, she felt that it would be best for her to work on it slowly when the weather was cooler.
Now that the weather is getting hotter, we have to stay indoors except for a few hours in the morning and afternoon.
Fortunately, it was cool indoors, and Xu Xinxin planned to use the empty room next door as a living room, put some tables and chairs in it, and use it to cool off during the day.
This room has two doors, which are open from north to south. During the day, as long as both doors are opened, there will be a strong breeze in the room, which is very cool. The tables and chairs moved into the living room are all "stone benches and stone chairs" made by Xia Runlin. They are very hard, so they also woven bamboo mats to cover them, which looks quite nice.
Xia Runlin even made two stone tree trunks indoors and built a swing for her.
The swing was bought in the mall. You can sit on it or lie down on it.
Xu Xinxin likes to sleep on the swing, feeling the breeze and rocking gently.
The table was right next to the swing, and she extended the partition so that the tabletop was within the "two-meter range" where she could use her spatial ability.
There were washed fruits and vegetables on the table, and she could just stretch out her hand and "grab" them.
She "took" a grape, put it in her mouth and ate it, and she could also reach out and "throw" the peel directly into the trash can next to her.
This is so convenient.
This was the first time that Xu Xinxin realized how useful her special ability was.
But she was a little worried that if things went on like this for a long time, she would gain a lot of weight and become a fat girl.
"No," Xia Runlin said as he sat on a stone bench nearby and read a book, "People with special abilities need to consume more energy, so their appetite increases and their weight increases. To be more precise, it is the fat in your body that is difficult to preserve."
I didn't expect that after awakening my superpowers, there would be such a good thing.
Xia Runlin didn't think this was a good thing. He said, "It's hard for a superpower to store fat in the body. This means that when your superpowers are exhausted, it's hard for you to restore your energy. This is very dangerous, so you must bring more high-energy food with you."
"Hmm," Xu Xinxin ate another grape, flipped through the book Xia Runlin brought with her, and nodded, "I know, there has never been a shortage of food in the space."
It’s just a pity that she couldn’t buy chocolate, otherwise, she could have a meal without any psychological pressure.
I don’t know if she can find a cocoa tree. Can she try making chocolate herself in the future?
You can have this idea.
Xu Xinxin became interested, closed the "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" in her hand, sat up, and asked Xia Runlin: "Besides these books, do you have any books on making chocolate and cakes?"
The books she and Xia Runlin are reading now are all brought from Xia Runlin's home.
He has a large study room at home with a lot of books in it, but most of them are "high-end".
Otherwise, she would feel more relaxed if she read a book like "The Wife Runs Away with the Baby" instead of this one.
"I don't think so, right?" Unexpectedly, Xia Runlin became uncertain.
He thought about it carefully and said, "I don't remember. How about you come to my house tomorrow and look for it with me in the study?"
"Okay... no, not good at all," Xu Xinxin immediately changed her words.
She wasn't ready to go to his house yet.
They have only been dating for a few months now, and they are going to each other's house already?
By that time, she would go to his house, so she would definitely have to meet his parents.
No, no, no, it’s too early now. At least, we have to wait for some time.
