Chapter 64 Farming in Shennong Space is So Awesome
"Xiao Ye, Lin Zhiqing, were what you said yesterday true?"
An auntie came over with a small shovel.
"Are you really going to give us 200 jin of wheat per mu?"
Lin Shanshan nodded: "Really, Auntie, we mean what we say. If your family grows an extra 1,000 jin of fruit, we'll give you the extra."
Gu Yiye also said, "Aunt Li, don't worry, it's true."
Aunt Li heard them say it with her own ears, and then she felt relieved. She said, "Gangzi told me when he got home last night. I couldn't believe it. He assured me again and again that it was true, so I brought the children over here. Look, those seven children over there are all my family."
Lin Shanshan looked over and saw seven children of different ages working hard in a field. The youngest one looked to be only seven or eight years old.
Aunt Li said, "Xiao Ye knows about my family's situation. My husband died of illness three years ago, leaving behind seven children. Fortunately, Gangzi is old enough to join the militia and receives some subsidies. Otherwise, I really couldn't support them all by myself."
“Look, Gangzi is 23 this year and it’s time for him to find a wife. We have no surplus grain or savings, so what decent family’s daughter would marry him? If the wheat harvest is good, we’ll have more grain and then we’ll have the confidence to find a girl for Gangzi.”
Aunt Li exclaimed, "Lin Zhiqing, you and Xiao Ye are such good people."
Lin Shanshan looked at Aunt Li's wrinkled face and her somewhat cloudy eyes, which bore the marks of time, but were now filled with hope for the future.
At this moment, Lin Shanshan was deeply moved.
Perhaps, besides seeking revenge, I have another mission after being reborn.
That is to lead the people of the brigade to prosperity, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough to eat.
Lin Shanshan said to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, you are very kind. It's not easy for you to raise so many children by yourself. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
Aunt Li smiled shyly: "Lin Zhiqing, you led us to reclaim wasteland and plant crops, and the fact that you gave us so much wheat is the greatest help you could give us. I'm illiterate, but I tell my children that no matter how hard or difficult things get, they have to rely on their own hands and never ask others for help."
Lin Shanshan immediately felt a deep respect for this country woman who was only in her early forties but looked over sixty due to overwork.
Having obtained the answer, Aunt Li didn't waste any time. After telling Lin Shanshan, she and her seven children went back to work.
The well was repaired today. Lin Shanshan pressed the pump, and the well water flowed out continuously.
Gu Yiye stared at the well water, his mind in a daze.
"Brother Gu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Shanshan asked with concern.
"No, it's just that seeing this well water reminds me of something I've experienced before. And something very bad. Maybe I'm overthinking it. It's nothing."
Gu Yiye shook his head, indicating to Lin Shanshan that she didn't need to worry.
We worked until around midnight, and the land was all turned over and ready to be used as fertilizer.
Lin Shanshan told everyone to go back and rest: "Comrades and aunties, you've worked hard today. Go back now. I'll plant the wheat. You can come and check every day to see if there are any weeds or insects, and do your maintenance."
Yesterday, Lin, the educated youth, said that she had her own method, but it needed to be kept secret. After hearing this, everyone went back to rest.
After everyone left, Lin Shanshan took out wheat seeds from Shennong Space.
At this moment, text reappeared above the space.
Should we sow the seeds?
[Is it growing according to the normal timeframe?]
Lin Shanshan said, "Brother Gu, look, this space is very user-friendly. I was worried that the wheat would suddenly grow like the vegetables in the garden, but I didn't expect it could choose the normal growth time."
Gu Yiye exclaimed with delight, "That's great! We don't have to worry about the villagers being suspicious anymore."
"Yes, if it grows too fast, they'll find it scary and might not dare to eat it."
Lin Shanshan decisively chose "Yes".
In the blink of an eye, all the wheat seeds were evenly scattered across the cultivated land.
After the seeds landed, a layer of red light enveloped the 33 acres of land, forming a protective barrier.
After finishing everything, the two held hands and went home.
After walking for a few minutes, suddenly there was a constant "rustling" sound from the woods, as if a ferocious beast was rushing towards them!
Gu Yiye quickly shielded Lin Shanshan behind him, putting himself in a defensive stance.
