Chapter 52: Can Space Be Used to Grow Food?
After experiencing the ease and refinement of the afterlife, she brought some habits back with her, and she was unwilling to compromise herself.
Gu Jin had just put down his chopsticks after dinner when his aunt's loud voice was heard in the yard.
"Minmin! Come with me to the back of the house and plant cucumbers and beans!"
This season is the time to plant vegetables, fruits and melons. Gu Jin seemed to be thinking of something and a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes.
Now at the end of May, around the end of June or the beginning of July, heavy rains will begin for the next month.
August is the time when crops mature, but unfortunately, before the harvest could begin, the weather was bad and heavy rain fell for a whole month. All the crops in the northern part of the Spiritual Continent were wasted, and after the rain, the harvest in the fields was less than one-tenth of what it had been.
In just over a month, this disaster concerning the Spirit Realm Continent will come.
The beans and cucumbers that my aunt was shouting about planting outside the yard would definitely not live to see the ripening period, so even if they were planted it would just be a waste of seeds.
Gu Jin's face gradually became serious. In this national disaster, she had no ambition to help the people in need. What she was thinking about now was how the Gu family would survive.
I remember this disaster in the previous life, many people starved to death in the entire Northern Realm.
Thinking of the large open space in the space, Gu Jin had an idea. If he planted crops in the space now, and waited for the rainy season to pass and endured for about a month, the crops in the space would be mature, and the Gu family might be able to survive this disaster.
The prerequisite is that the space can grow food.
Gu Jin glanced at An Mingji who was staring at him.
If she enters the space, she can't take the child with her.
"Xiao An, do you still remember what the teacher taught you before?"
An Mingji nodded vigorously: "Remember!"
Gu Jin smiled and said, "Then let's review it again, okay?"
Although An Mingji felt that it was unnecessary and all the contents were memorized in his mind, he still nodded: "Okay."
"So good." Gu Jin smiled.
She took the child back to the room, rummaged through the drawers and found her elementary and junior high school textbooks, and placed piles of books on the bed.
"Take a look at all of these. If there are any that you don't understand, you can mark them out. I'll teach you when I come back."
"Sister Jin, are you going out?"
The child only noticed this.
Gu Jin nodded: "Well, I have something to do outside, so I can't take you with me. You just wait for me at home."
"……good."
Although he really wanted to go with her, he didn't want to be hated.
Gu Jin touched the child's hair and said, "Be good."
After comforting the child, she left the room and went to the back of the house to find her aunt and cousin.
There is an open space behind the house, where the family often grows some fruits and vegetables to provide food for the family. Especially in winter, the ground will be full of cabbages, which can be eaten until after the Chinese New Year.
When Gu Jin arrived, his aunt and cousin had already planted several rows of cucumber and bean seeds.
Looking at Chen Hong who was walking slowly from the edge of the field, Gu Jin called out, "Aunt."
"Why are you here? I don't need your help here."
Chen Hong thought Gu Jin was there to help plant the cucumber and bean seeds, so she just waved her hand and sent her away.
Gu Jin smiled and pointed at the remaining seeds in Chen Hong's hand: "Aunt, I want to ask where you bought these seeds."
"What are you going to do?" Chen Hong frowned and looked at her in confusion.
The latter just smiled and said nothing.
Chen Hong still wanted to continue farming, so she didn't have the patience to ask her and said bluntly: "In the town's grocery store, they sell seeds. The supply and marketing cooperative also sells a wide variety of seeds."
As she spoke, she bent down and continued digging holes to plant vegetable seeds.
