Chapter 12: A Basket of Vegetable Garden Project

"Xiaochuan, Xiaohua, here I come!"

"I'm sorry, I took too long to do my morning exercise today. I was a little late."

"Are you guys getting impatient? Do you miss Uncle Shitou?"

With the sound of the door opening.

The man who appeared in the yard had a young face, short hair, and was wearing a navy uniform.

Jiang Rou also knew this man, he was Zhou Chongshan’s bodyguard Song Yan.

As soon as Song Yan entered the room, Zhou Xiaochuan stood up immediately.

The young boy rarely showed his childish look and called out crisply, "Uncle Shitou, good morning."

"Okay, okay, good morning, Xiaochuan and Xiaohua."

Song Yan greeted them cheerfully, rubbed the two children's heads, and at the same time saw Jiang Rou standing beside him.

Especially when he saw Jiang Rou wearing Zhou Chongshan's old military uniform, he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

He immediately said respectfully again.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Song Yan, good morning."

Jiang Rou nodded gently.

Song Yan came this time to deliver breakfast to Zhou Xiaochuan, Zhou Xiaohua and Jiang Rou.

It was still the same silver lunch box. The breakfast was simpler than yesterday’s dinner: a steamed bun, a steamed bun, and some pickled vegetables.

Not even a boiled egg.

The two children eat this all day long and get no nutrition at all.

Song Yan also brought a message to Zhou Chongshan.

After breakfast, Xu Chunxiang will come to take the child away, and Jiang Rou will just leave the matter of taking care of the child to Xu Chunxiang.

She should rest at home when she needs to and go out when she wants to, but she should never go too far or to the beach, as there could be danger there at any time.

After listening to this, Jiang Rou nodded seriously.

Obviously, Zhou Chongshan had not noticed Xu Chunxiang's little actions, so he still left the child to her care with confidence.

The relationship between Jiang Rou and Zhou Chongshan has not yet been fully confirmed.

At this point in time, Jiang Rou really has no identity or position to say anything.

But Jiang Rou will not let this matter go.

Since she has made up her mind to live on this island, these two children will become her family in the future.

Jiang Rou would not allow anyone to continue bullying her child.

She would keep a close eye on Xu Chunxiang in private and not give her any chance to abuse the child.

…

That's it.

After Song Yan left.

Jiang Rou and her two children sat under the eaves on both sides and ate a simple breakfast.

She ate a lot last night, and since she doesn't have a big appetite on weekdays, she ate breakfast particularly slowly.

When Zhou Xiaohua finished eating a steamed bun and a wow bun, Jiang Rou still had a wow bun in her hand, which she was chewing slowly.

Eat and eat.

Jiang Rou noticed a vague gaze that looked at her from time to time.

To be more precise, he was staring at the cradle of hair in her hands.

Jiang Rou turned her head and happened to meet the eyes of Zhou Xiaohua, who was sticking her head out from behind Zhou Xiaochuan, revealing a pair of big round eyes.

In those watery eyes, there is a sparkling desire.

The little girl licked her lips, looked at Wowotou, and sucked her saliva.

Seeing that look, Jiang Rou's heart softened instantly.

I wish I could put the dough in my hand directly into the little girl's hand.

Feed her! Feed her!

Give her all the delicious food!

However.

Next to Zhou Xiaohua, there is a little wolf cub protecting her.

After Zhou Xiaochuan noticed his sister's actions, he hugged Zhou Xiaohua over.

He said angrily.

"Xiaohua, she is a bad person! You can't trust her! You can't eat anything she gives you! If she gives you food today, she will beat you with a bamboo stick tomorrow! Remember what your brother said, don't eat anything she gives you."

When the little girl heard the word "beat", her tiny body immediately shrank in fear.

There was no light in her big watery eyes.

Zhou Xiaochuan hugged him tightly.

While patting the little girl's back, he stuffed his shaggy hair into Zhou Xiaohua's hand.

"Xiaohua, brother's is for you, eat it."

Zhou Xiaochuan wanted to save this steamed bun for lunch.

Because Xu Chunxiang always gave them rice soup and never gave them steamed bread.

If Xiaohua is not full, she will cry out of grievance.

So Zhou Xiaochuan deliberately left some of the limited breakfast.

Now, in order to prevent Zhou Xiaohua from eating the meat in Jiang Rou's hand, she had to give it away first.

If I had known this, he would have just eaten half of the steamed bun.

Anyway, I won’t feel hungry even if I don’t eat breakfast.

When he was in the countryside, he never had breakfast.

It’s only because of my father that I can have three meals a day.

Zhou Xiaochuan quietly rubbed his belly where Zhou Xiaohua couldn't see.

Humph, he is not hungry.

The little wolf cub is very stubborn.

After Zhou Xiaohua got the wowo head, she immediately grinned, revealing her little teeth, and looked so adorable.

But she blinked again, looked at her brother in front of her, and didn't bite him.

Zhou Xiaochuan could understand Zhou Xiaohua's concerns.

He spoke in a soothing voice.

"Xiaohua, you eat. Brother is full and not hungry at all."

After hearing this, the little girl's mouth corners raised again.

She grabbed the head of the wowo, took a bite herself, then passed it to Zhou Xiaochuan and touched his lips.

It seems to be saying: Brother, you eat too.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, took a small bite, and touched Zhou Xiaohua's head.

This scene in the sun.

The brother and sister ate the Wo Wo Tou, each taking a bite, it was so heartwarming.

…

After breakfast, time passed slowly.

However, Xu Chunxiang, who was supposed to be the nanny and take care of the children, did not show up for a long time.

Jiang Rou didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua sat quietly under the eaves, basking in the sun while playing with wooden toys and small sandbags.

The two children obviously didn't care whether Xu Chunxiang came or not.

Jiang Rou was in the yard, looking at the black soil beneath her feet, and began to plan carefully.

In the world of the past generation, urbanization and technology have continued to develop, and most people are trapped in cities made of steel and concrete.

The so-called home is actually a square prison cage.

You can't see the sky outside through the window.

How many people, while working as office workers, dream of returning to nature, wanting a large yard where they can grow flowers and vegetables, facing the sea with flowers blooming in spring.

Now I’ve traveled through time.

Jiang Rou's dream came true.

It is early spring now, and the island is surrounded by the sea with an endless horizon.

She now has a house with a spacious yard.

Jiang Rou walked around the yard and roughly measured its length and width with her feet.

The yard covers an area of ​​about fifty square meters.

The middle position is the passage for people to enter and exit.

On the left and right sides, you can use stones to create a simple dividing line.

You can fence it off and grow vegetables and flowers.

Jiang Rou’s job in her previous life was as a food blogger.

In order to ensure the freshness of the food, she has a certain understanding of agricultural planting and has basic knowledge of growing vegetables, fruits and melons. She also grows vegetables on the balcony in the studio.

Vegetables like bok choy, lettuce, and romaine lettuce grow fastest as long as the temperature is high, and the young leaves can be picked and eaten in about 15-20 days.

As for the ingredients, onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers all require a long growth cycle.

Although it takes a long time, only with these things can the food be delicious, so it is still necessary to have them.

Other vegetables that are easiest to grow are potatoes, tomatoes, and cabbage.

Anyway, the yard is big enough, so you can plant a little of everything.

The weather on the island is hot and there is plenty of sunshine, which is perfect for growing grapes.

If there was a grape tree, planted in the corner, and paired with a wooden rack.

In summer, the grape vines will grow along the wooden racks, growing large green leaves.

After planting for a few years, you will not only have sweet grapes to eat, but also have green leaves to provide shade.

Just thinking about this day makes me feel very comfortable.

Jiang Rou does what she says.

She first went into the house and found a straw hat in a corner.

The straw hat was very worn out and there was a hole on the top.

But Jiang Rou has a solution.

She cut a piece of cloth from an old dress into a square shape, and then folded it in half to form a triangle.

A headscarf.

Jiang Rou first put on a headscarf and then a straw hat with holes to block out the sun.

Right after.

Jiang Rou saw the hoe hanging on the wall outside the bathroom.

She took it off and tried the feel of it.

A bit heavy, but acceptable.

The equipment is complete and the tools are in hand.

Next is to start.

The first step to growing vegetables in the yard is to turn the soil.

Only when the soil is loose enough can it facilitate the growth of plant roots and prevent the roots from rotting easily.

After she finishes turning the soil, she will ask Song Yan to get some seeds.

Since they have production plans in their military camps, raising pigs and growing vegetables, they must have seeds.

Jiang Rou had already thought of everything in her mind.
