Chapter 17 Space Upgrade



When Song Li returned home, she first picked up her two children. Then Song Chengcai and Song Chenglin went to the creek to break the ice and catch fish, and gave two fish to Song Li.

It snowed last night and the road was difficult to walk on, so Song Chenglin brought it to her personally.

These days, Song Li has been sending the two children to Old Song's house. Song Chenglin has never been there. He was surprised to see the changes in the thatched hut.

"How much do these cabinets and tables cost?"

There is also a bicycle. Captain Zhao is the only one in the entire Daxingtun who has one.

No wonder people in the village say his sister is a spendthrift. These things alone are enough for the Song family to use for a year.

"I bought them from scrap yards. They weren't worth much."

Song Li was vague, and Song Chenglin was skeptical. "Really?"

"Really? All this costs less than ten dollars."

Song Li's eyes were so clear that they dispelled Song Chenglin's doubts.

"Do you have enough money? I've saved five dollars. I'll give it all to you."

What should I do if my sister spends money lavishly? Of course, I should spoil her.

Song Chenglin didn't think there was anything wrong with Song Li's squandering of money. The problem was that they made too little money and couldn't let his sister spend as much as she wanted.

Song Li was stunned for a rare second. Given the Song family's doting tradition, it was no wonder that the original owner developed such a spoiled and domineering personality.

"No, I still have money. You have to save your money to marry a wife. Why would you give it to me?"

"What kind of wife should I marry? It's so troublesome!"

Song Chenglin really doesn't want to get married. Although it's not a blind marriage, he wants to settle down after meeting her once or twice. He doesn't want to find a woman casually. Marriage is a lifelong thing, so if he wants to marry, he will marry someone he likes.

Song Li looked at her brother's resistance and said nothing more. Marriage has never been a must in life, but making money is.

The Song family is so poor that even if Song Chenglin wants to get married now, they can't afford the bride price.

Next year, the policy of contracting production to households will be relaxed, and Song Li is thinking of letting the Song family rent a hill to grow the spiritual plants in her space.

Given the popularity of date cakes, you can imagine how easy it is to sell spiritual vegetables and fruits.

But renting a mountain is not a small amount of money, and the Song family probably can’t even come up with a hundred yuan now.

She had to let the Song family make money first.

Song Li already had a way to make money, but she didn't tell Song Chenglin before it was confirmed. She just brought two fish to the kitchen.

"Brother San, are you eating at home? I cooked both fish."

Song Chenglin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there's food left for me at home, you can eat it yourself, I'm leaving now."

The people in the Song family are like this. They would rather suffer losses themselves than take advantage of their sister. This also strengthened Song Li's determination to lead them to wealth.

The mother and her two daughters had small appetites, so Song Li only cooked one fish and kept the other one frozen outside.

The temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius in Heilongjiang Province is like a natural refrigerator. When you want to eat it, you can just bring it indoors and thaw it.

Song Li made sweet and sour carp, which both children liked because of its sweet and sour taste.

There was sauce on the corner of Qingqing's mouth, and she let Song Li wipe her face obediently like a little kitten.

"Mom, how long until the New Year? I miss Dad so much."

Mom makes a lot of delicious food every day, and she really wants to share it with Dad.

"Less than two months, almost."

It is now the 20th day of the 12th lunar month. The Spring Festival in 1978 was on February 7th, so there is only one and a half months left.

Thinking that she only had less than fifty days left to spend with her child, Song Li felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Qingqing didn't notice her mother's abnormality and was immersed in the joy of her father's upcoming return. However, He Mingze next to her glanced at Song Li.

Unlike his sister, He Mingze knew that his parents would divorce. He must have been very happy before, but now he just felt reluctant.

"Mom, will you abandon me and my sister?"

He didn't want to leave his mother. These one and a half months were the happiest days of his life.

Song Li was speechless. He Linyuan was determined to divorce, and she couldn't stop him with a thick face.

After all, He Linyuan's current situation is all because of her.

"No, no matter where they are, Xiaoze and Qingqing are always my mother's babies."

He Mingze pursed his lips, his eyes red, and threw himself into Song Li's arms.

He couldn't bear to leave his mother and father, and wished they could never be separated.

......

The ginseng sprouted the next day after it was planted. Song Li would water the ginseng seedlings every day when she picked dates.

However, when Song Li entered the space today, he was shocked.

I saw that the original ten square meters of land had expanded another ten square meters, and the fertile soil still emitted a green glow.

This space is... upgraded again?

Song Li's breathing was heavy, and excitement flashed in her eyes.

It was already a surprise to have only ten square meters, but now she found that the land area can be expanded, so she can grow more things.

Song Li didn't know the reason for the upgrade yet. She took the kettle and walked into the ginseng field.

Fifty days had passed outside since the day she sowed the seeds. According to the flow rate of space, the ginseng had grown for exactly fifty years.

Song Li usually treasures them very much. She can even count clearly how many leaves the two ginseng plants have. But today, one ginseng plant suddenly disappeared from the place where the ginseng was planted.

Song Li searched the entire 20-square-meter area but couldn't find it. Thinking about the space upgrade, she suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the upgrade was caused by the space swallowing a 50-year-old ginseng?

Thinking of this, she quickly dug out the remaining tree, fearing that it would be swallowed by space again.

While the expansion of land area is good, ginseng is even rarer.

Fortunately, the ginseng seeds were ripe, so she picked them and scattered them on the ground.

The fifty-year-old ginseng has become spiritual. Song Li found a wooden box to put it in. This is a treasure that can save lives at critical moments.

She had to figure out how to make good use of it.

After making the date cake, Song Li started to make fresh meat pastries and red date and wolfberry tea.

The date cake business is booming, and Song Li is happy but also a little worried.

Compared to the south where individuals have already started doing business, the policies in Heilongjiang Province are still relatively conservative. Even because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the police will still arrest typical cases.

She had to go and find out some information.

Public Security Liu lived in a staff housing compound, which was some distance away from the black market. Xiang Qian was also smart and knew that he couldn't sell there.

After delivering the date cakes, Song Li rode her bicycle over.

Liu Gongan was at work, and only his daughter-in-law Feng Mei was at home.

Feng Mei works as a salesperson in a department store. She is plump and kind, with eyes that curve when she smiles, which makes it easy for people to like her.

Seeing Song Li, she tilted her head slightly, "Who are you?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm Song Li, and my boyfriend He Linyuan is a friend of Liu Gongan."

"Oh, it's you. Xuejun told me about you. Come in and warm up, sister. You must have suffered a lot walking such a long way."

He Linyuan had informed Liu Gongan and asked Song Li to come to him if she had any problems, so Liu Gongan also told his wife about it.

I'm busy with work and I'm afraid Song Li will be disappointed.

Feng Mei didn't know what the original owner had done, but she fell in love with Song Li when she saw her beautiful face.

Moreover, Liu Gongan had also told her that Xiao Hongling wanted to harm the child. As they were both mothers, Feng Mei felt sympathy for Song Li.

"Sister, have a drink of water. Xuejun won't be home for a while."

Feng Mei thought Song Li had encountered some trouble and wanted to report it to the police, so she spoke very considerately.

Song Li smiled and placed the two oil-paper bags on the table. "Sister-in-law, I just came to get acquainted. Public Security Liu helped me save the child before, and I should have come to thank him a long time ago."
