Chapter 11 Growth
Year after year passed, and soon it was eight years old. Shu had grown into a young lady, with tender eyes, a beautiful figure, and a slender waist.
Shu narcissistically looked at herself in the mirror, at her small oval face, big eyes, red lips, and picturesque features; she was indeed the most beautiful girl in the area, much more refined than in her previous life.
She now had no shortage of food, so she secretly cooked a lot of small meals. The food she ate grew on her body, and she looked thin when she was dressed and had flesh when she was undressed, just the right amount.
She is now 16 years old and has started to gain centimeters. With her strength, gaining a full centimeter is not a problem. But she is still not satisfied. Although she is full now, she cannot improve her quality of life.
Nowadays, everyone is proud of being a worker, and she also plans to plan a job after some time. One reason was to give her space and give her things a provenance, and the other was to make her family proud. She was a high school student, and if she didn't make some progress, she would be letting her grandma down for paying her tuition.
Yes, this girl generally does not go to school in rural areas, but she finished high school. She came from another world, and knew that only by becoming a better person could she go further, so she would naturally not be blinded by others.
When she was older, she begged her grandmother to let her go to school with her brother. Grandma Liu loved her and couldn't resist her coquetry, so she agreed after some persuasion.
Over the years, Shu would bring things home from time to time, sometimes pheasants and rabbits, sometimes valuable mountain products. The Liu family also had extra money, so Grandma Liu didn't feel bad about giving Shu a dollar to go to school.
Shu, as an adult soul, would definitely not lose to these little brats. The elementary school system was five years, but she did not follow the routine. She studied in the first year as usual, then skipped to the fifth grade, and then spent a year to finish junior high school. She was admitted to the key high school in the city. Now both junior high school and high school are two-year systems, and it only took her four years to graduate from high school.
Grandma Liu was so proud at that time. There were so many students coming from all over the surrounding villages, but only her baby was admitted to the city. During that period, the Liu family members went out with style.
In recent years, Shu took advantage of going to the county town to study and liquidated some of the things in the space. Now she is richer than the rest of the family. She sells some grain and meat from time to time. A few years ago, she even dug up two ginsengs in the mountains. She kept the big one for seeds, and sold the small one for cash.
Speaking of space, her strength has improved in recent years, and the area of her space has naturally increased. In the first two years, she grew food, which was enough for her to eat for more than ten years. After she went to the county town to study, she found that the current hard currency was eggs and sugar, so she started planting sugarcane last year and making her own brown sugar. She saw the sugar-making method in the library.
Shu not only collected recipes for making brown sugar, but also copied down all the books in the library that were useful to her. Whether it was food, clothing, housing, transportation, or chemistry, science, and engineering, she accepted them all. Over the years, she had used the magic to temper her body and develop her brain, achieving a photographic memory, so copying some books was not a problem, and her three years of studying in the county town were very fulfilling.
Space does not distinguish between years and months, so there is no need to look at the weather for planting. The second batch of sugarcane will be harvested soon this year, so you can plant another crop this year and not plant next year. There are already 1,000 kilograms of brown sugar in her space, plus the two crops left, there are almost 1,700 kilograms, enough for several years.
The next morning, Shu got up and washed up. Grandma Liu came out with breakfast. Seeing that Shu was also up, she quickly handed the egg in her hand to her and told her to eat quickly. Shu was not polite, she took it in her hand and finished it in a few minutes.
Now that Shubo has joined the Liu family as a labor force, she will definitely get the lion's share of the annual grain distribution, so Grandma Liu will cook an egg for Shubo every year to supplement her nutrition, and as for the others, several people will share one. Grandma Liu loved her granddaughter because she loved her granddaughter. Another reason was that her son Shu was very hard-working. Not only did he get full work points every day, he also often brought meat home. Others would not object if they knew about it.
The Liu family really wouldn't gossip. Grandpa Liu thought that it was right for his granddaughter to eat some food since she worked so hard. Aunt Liu thought that it was not her fault that they ate well, because they had the ability to do so. For example, her eldest son was four or five years older than his sister, but he couldn't work as well as his sister, so he deserved the leftovers. Not to mention Liu's father and mother, they were their own daughters.
Shu went out with her grandfather and said to him as they walked, "Grandpa, I'm going to the city in a while. I want to see if there are any suitable opportunities and find a job."
"Okay, if you have a chance of success, go ahead. If not, don't be discouraged. You are strong and you can eat better than your peers in the fields."
Grandpa Liu knew that his granddaughter was a poor girl and that this rural area was not the place to keep a golden phoenix, but he was also afraid that she would run into a wall, so he comforted her.
When Father and Mother Liu heard Shu talking to Grandpa Liu, they kept silent. They were incapable of helping their daughter, but they just wanted to avoid holding her back.
Looking at his daughter who had a plan and rules, and then looking at his son who was not active in work, Father Liu was so angry that he raised his hand and hit him on the head.
"Dad, why did you hit me?" Liu Jianguo, who was walking beside him and suffered an unexpected disaster, said aggrievedly.
"Is it okay if I don't like you? I'm your father, do I have to choose a day to beat you up?"
When the Liu family saw this, they all laughed and had no intention of stepping forward to help. Shu's cousin Liu Jianjun and cousin Liu Jianhong understood Liu Jianguo very well, because whenever their parents thought of Shu doing that, they would find a reason to beat them up.
Shu didn't care about their funny behavior. When she got to the field, she found the team leader and got the task, and started working quickly. She tried to finish the task in the morning. In the afternoon, she planned to go into the mountains.
In two days she would go to the county town and pick up some things from the cave in the mountains. Before, she had built a temporary base in the mountains to conceal her tracks and deal with the Liu family. Over the years, it had been filled with Shu. She plans to work in the city in the future, and won't stay in the village for long, so she has to put away the things she has bought over the years. Otherwise, if someone finds out and gives them away for free, it won't be worth it.
At noon, Shu came to the cave and packed up the dried pheasants and rabbits hanging on the walls and put them into the space, and also put the pots and pans back into the space. That big pot was something she had found in her space before, and it was of good quality. But now it costs more than ten yuan to buy such a pot, and you need industrial coupons to buy it. Other items that are not valuable can be placed in the cave so that they can be used when entering the mountains later.
After walking around the mountain, I harvested a piece of medicinal herb Codonopsis pilosula, and then I went back up the mountain with a full backpack on my back, covering my face with a layer of wild vegetables.
When she met her cousin Shulan who was going up the mountain to collect pig grass, she helped her cousin reduce some weight. She picked up two handfuls of pig grass, threw them back with her backhand, and piled them steadily in the backpack.
Shulan was 18 years old this year. When it came time to get married, Grandma Liu didn't let her go out. She usually went home to help Grandma Liu with housework.
