Chapter 800: Busy in Space (Page 1/2)
The next morning at 7:30, the children finished their breakfast and happily went to school with their schoolbags on their backs as usual. The house suddenly became quiet.
Huo Qingci smiled, his eyes as gentle as water as he gazed at his wife Lin Man beside him, and whispered softly:
"Manman, didn't you mention before that you hoped I could grow some vegetables for my own consumption this year? How about we go back to our space and plant some vegetables while we're free today?"
Lin Man felt that Huo Qingci was alone in Hai City and spent most of his time in the cafeteria. In fact, sometimes when he was resting, he could also cook in the dormitory.
So she planned to plant some vegetables in Huo Qingci's space, but not too many. For example, two pumpkins and winter melons would be enough.
Four or five bitter melon plants are enough, and seven or eight eggplant plants are enough. Huo Qingci should also plant more peppers, which she likes to eat, so that she can make her own chili sauce.
It’s better to plant twenty or thirty pepper trees.
Thinking of this, Lin Man couldn't help but smile and responded, "Haha, I'm afraid there isn't even a single vegetable left in your space now! But it doesn't matter. Just tell me what you want to plant and I'll help you grow it."
Huo Qingci thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... dear, could you plant a few dozen corn plants for me? Then when the harvest comes, I can pick one and cook it for later."
Lin Man didn't expect Huo Qingci to want to grow corn, so she asked, "Are you planning to grow sticky corn, or do you prefer sweet corn?"
Huo Qingci answered without hesitation: "Of course it's sweet corn! I'm not used to the taste of sticky corn."
After receiving a clear answer, Lin Man readily agreed and instructed Huo Qingci, "Okay, I'll go into your space and help you grow vegetables. You, on the other hand, quickly go and gather the ripe fruits in your space. Peaches, plums, and early-ripening lychees and cherries should be ready for picking, right?"
“Well, after eating the fruits from your space, I always feel that the fruits grown in my space are not as delicious.
I'll sell them to my classmates when we go to the city the day after tomorrow. Every penny earned is a penny earned. We spent a lot of money buying all these shops and houses."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qingci couldn't wait to pull Lin Man's hand and walk into the mysterious space that belonged to him.
After entering the space, Lin Man took out a large pile of seeds of various vegetables from the warehouse with ease, and then walked towards the field with brisk steps.
Lin Man thought that Huo Qingci wanted to eat sweet corn, so she used her special ability to ripen five sweet corns first, and broke off thirteen of them to cook and eat at noon.
She only nurtured the other corns until they formed buds and then stopped imparting any supernatural powers to them, allowing them to grow wildly.
After planting forty corn plants, Lin Man also used her special powers to plant an appropriate amount of eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, winter melons, baby pumpkins, white radishes, beans, and cucumbers on three acres of land.
Before he knew it, time had passed quietly. It was already half past ten. Huo Qingci left the space to cook for the children.
After a short rest, Lin Man looked at the colorful sea of flowers in Huo Qingci's space, and her heart suddenly moved.
I thought that if I were to open a flower shop in the future, it would not be enough to just sell potted orchids. I would naturally have to stock up on all kinds of flowers.
She decided to select some of the flowers and transplant them into her own space.
After careful selection, Lin Man transplanted the well-growing and gorgeous roses, the graceful peonies, the fresh and elegant peonies, the flawless white lilies, the colorful hydrangeas and tulips... one by one to her own space.
Afterwards, Lin Man immediately began to work non-stop in her own space. She was busy until half past twelve, when it was time for lunch, and she finally emerged from her space.
After lunch, Lin Man still didn't go anywhere. She made preserved fruits and side dishes for Huo Qingci in the space.

Huo Qingci accompanied his grandfather for a walk. They only went home when the sun had gradually set and the soft afterglow was cast on the earth.
Lin Man was already busy at the stove. Remembering that she had eaten a lot of greasy food on her birthday yesterday, she decided to make a pot of healthy porridge tonight.
She took out rouge rice, yam and red dates from the space to make porridge. After a while, bursts of tempting aroma wafted out of the pot.
Huo Qingci looked at his wife busy at the stove, walked over to her and asked softly, "Manman, would you like some porridge tonight?"
"We ate a lot of meat yesterday, so I planned to have something light tonight. But since you said Dad wanted to eat, I cooked another pot of rice."
"Okay, then I'll make two cold dishes to go with the porridge later."
"Do you want to make smashed cucumber or seaweed salad?"
Huo Qingci planned to pick a green papaya from the space to make cold papaya shreds, but he was worried about being discovered by his parents.
So he said, "Manman, let me make the shredded radish salad!"
Lin Man nodded, "Well, cold shredded radish is fine. There are early-ripening radishes for sale in the market."
Lin Man actually also wanted to eat cold shredded papaya. She planned to make a plate of it in the evening and eat it tomorrow morning.
Thinking that his parents would come over for dinner soon, Huo Qingci prepared a total of six dishes: cold shredded radish, cold preserved eggs, stir-fried bitter melon, tomato egg drop soup, steamed sea bass, and garlic spare ribs that the children liked.
At around six o'clock, there was a sudden and clear sound of footsteps outside the door.
Huo Qingci in the room had an idea and quickly walked to the door. He reached out and grasped the door handle and turned it gently, and the door opened.
He stuck his head out and saw, as expected, the familiar figure appeared before him in the corridor not far away.
Father Huo Junshan was walking in front with steady steps, while mother and younger sister followed closely behind.
"Dad, Mom, come in and sit down!" Huo Qingci greeted them warmly with a smile on his face, and stepped aside to make way for them.
When Huo Junshan stepped into the house, his eyes were immediately attracted by the dishes on the dining table.
Yesterday was my daughter-in-law’s birthday, and the whole family enjoyed a feast of fish and meat all day long. Now, looking at the full table of dishes,
Although it is not as rich as yesterday's, it feels particularly fresh and refreshing.
Huo Junshan couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction. "Oh my! How did you know I wanted to eat something refreshing today? That's so thoughtful!"
Hearing his father's praise, Huo Qingci scratched his head a little embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly and said: "We ate such greasy food yesterday, so I thought of making some cold dishes tonight to help everyone cool down." After that, he pulled his wife and little daughter to sit down.
At this moment, Lin Man, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up. She first gently scooped a bowl of steaming yam porridge for the grandfather sitting in the first seat, then turned around and asked her mother-in-law with a smile:
"Mom, do you want some porridge to fill your stomach, or would you prefer white rice?"
Xiao Ya's calm eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, and she nodded hurriedly in response, "Xiao Man actually made porridge tonight?"
"Yes, I've cooked some nutritious and delicious yam and red date porridge, Mom. Would you like to try a bowl?" Lin Man replied gently.
Xiao Ya smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Okay, then I'll just have some porridge tonight. Xiao Man, please sit down and have a rest. I can get it myself."
However, Lin Man refused to agree. She waved her hands hastily and insisted, "Let me do it, Mom. You just sit back and wait for a while." Then she stood up and scooped a bowl of porridge for her mother-in-law.
The children were growing up and had big appetites. They felt hungry again after drinking the porridge, so they all said they wanted to eat, and Lin Man let them do as they pleased.
