Chapter 66 Discussing Future Plans
Shang Ruoting was puzzled: "Why do we have to wait for a while before we can go?"
"This afternoon, in addition to being able to sense light, my eyes could also see shadows swaying in front of me. I estimate that it should recover in a few days. The doctor said that I should go for a follow-up check-up when I can see again." Tan Chen said, and naturally picked up the basin of water and walked towards the door.
"If my eyes can be healed in the next few days, I'll go for a follow-up checkup and take you to sell ginseng, so we can save you an extra trip."
Shang Ruoting didn't expect that Tan Chen's eyes could recover so quickly.
She hadn't finished reading the book when she traveled through time, so she didn't know many details later on. Moreover, after she came, many plots had changed and could not be connected at all.
However, she was truly happy for Tan Chen that his eyesight had improved.
Although they don't have any feelings for each other yet, she has been in contact with Tan Chen these past few days and he has shown her kindness, so she has to respond with kindness.
"Okay, I'll go with you to see your eyes first, and then we'll go sell ginseng."
"Well, this ginseng is not easy to preserve. You'd better bury it in the soil first." Tan Chen reminded.
Shang Ruoting's ginseng had to be kept in the space, but Tan Chen reminded her that she couldn't refute it. After responding, she talked about other things.
"Although we can't build a house right away in the west yard, there's still a lot of open space in the backyard. Now is the planting season, and I plan to take some time to go over there tomorrow to tidy up the land."
Tan Chen thought for a moment and said, "That piece of land is not small. You can't do it alone. Tomorrow I will go find Brother Erniu and ask him to help. When he is delayed in earning work points, we will make up for it with money."
Shang Ruoting didn't object. Although she was strong, she couldn't always be a tomboy. She couldn't be too assertive when a man cared about her.
"Okay, then I'll go to the chicken coop tomorrow, and then I'll go plow the fields over there."
She thought about another idea in her mind and decided to just say it all out loud.
"Tan Chen, our backyard vegetable garden is quite big. Why don't we plant some vegetables first? I want to build a greenhouse or a shed there before autumn."
She also thought that in this era, supplies were scarce, and in winter, only cabbage, radishes and potatoes were available for eating. Even if there were various vegetables in her space, she could not find a reasonable excuse to take them out.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to build a greenhouse so that the family can have vegetables to eat in winter, and she can also take some out of the space appropriately.
If there is a chance, you can also take the opportunity to make some money.
Tan Chen was not unfamiliar with the term greenhouse. He had seen similar books in the military library. However, these two things were only available abroad and he had never heard of them in China.
So, he pretended not to understand and asked, "What exactly are greenhouses and sheds used for?"
Shang Ruoting patiently explained to him its principles and some of its benefits.
After hearing this, the first thing that came to Tan Chen's mind was not the benefits of the greenhouse, but why this little woman knew so much.
From what he knew about Shang Ruoting, she was a country girl who was born and raised in Sihe Village. She barely finished junior high school and then worked in the production team. However, what she said today would be impossible to understand unless one was knowledgeable.
"How do you know all this?"
Shang Ruoting was so busy discussing her plan with Tan Chen that she ignored this point.
"Well……"
"I also heard about this from Grandma Shi when I was a child. She kept talking about this at the time, saying she had read it in a book. If the environment at the time had not allowed it, Grandma Shi would definitely have started greenhouse or hothouse farming."
Shang Ruoting told a bunch of lies, hoping to get away with it.
Although Tan Chen couldn't see her expression, he could guess that she was very nervous when she spoke.
He had long felt that this woman had a secret. Since it was someone else's secret, he didn't intend to explore it in depth and just pretended to be confused.
"So it was Grandma Shi who said that. I heard from the elders in the village that she really knows a lot and is a well-informed old lady."
"It's a pity that Grandma Shi has been gone for so many years. Can you still remember what she said?"
Seeing that Tan Chen believed her, Shang Ruoting felt relieved and explained, "When Grandma Shi talked about it, I was very interested in greenhouses and sheds. I remember them very clearly."
Tan Chen nodded: "Well, that's good. Since you have this plan, go ahead and make arrangements. Just let me know if you need me to do anything."
Shang Ruoting's plan was initially approved by Tan Chen, and she became more motivated and continued to talk about her future plans.
"I also want to buy some chickens, ducks, and piglets. I'll keep them in Grandma's backyard for now and move them back in when our house is finished."
"This way, we can also earn more income."
Tan Chen nodded in support: "Well, do whatever you want to do."
"I heard that the production team in Yihe Village has a place dedicated to breeding chickens and ducks. People in our village go there to buy these. We can take some time to go and have a look."
Shang Ruoting could hear that Tan Chen wanted to go with her, but she didn't dare let Tan Chen follow. Although he was blind, it would still be inconvenient for her to do anything.
