The seeds that can be planted in the space are provided by the system and cannot be taken outside the space.
However, the seeds harvested after the plants mature can be taken outside of this space for use.
Seasonings such as scallions, ginger, garlic, and cilantro are commonly used in home cooking, and farmers like to grow them in their yards. However, due to the elderly, the infirm, and poverty in Su Yun'er's family, they haven't been cultivating these things in their yard for many years.
Although these plants in the yard don't grow as fast as those in the space, they can be taken care of by Grandma Chen, so that she doesn't always feel that she is old and useless.
As elderly people get older, they may worry that they will not be able to contribute to their families, which can cause them a lot of anxiety.
Moreover, crops like scallions, garlic, and cilantro are easy to care for; you only need to water them and weed them daily, requiring minimal effort.
"With the spiritual spring water for irrigation, the two plots of land in the yard that have been neglected for a long time should soon regain their fertility. It also helps to clear weeds, so it won't be too much of a burden for Old Chen. However, it's almost winter now, so we'll have to wait until next spring to plant them. We can find a few pots now and plant a small amount, so they won't be cold when we put them indoors."
In order to harvest the seeds, Su Yun'er temporarily did not harvest the scallion and garlic fields.
After she finished tidying up the space and got up, Old Mrs. Chen was already up.
Feeding the chickens in the yard.
It's the big fat chicken that Su Yun'er rewarded with accumulated points yesterday.
Grandma Chen repaired the broken chicken coop yesterday and let the big fat chicken move in. She also mixed the chicken feed with leftover vegetable leaves from cooking at home. The big fat chicken was not picky and ate happily.
"Mother, why are you up so early?" Su Yun'er stretched and approached.
Grandma Chen looked radiant and in good spirits today, with a smile on her face.
“I feel great today. You had a hard day yesterday and you’re going into town to sell things later, so I’ll cook for you today.”
After pouring the last bit of chicken feed into the feeding trough, Old Mrs. Chen went to the shed as usual, saying, "It's only been a day, so it shouldn't have laid any eggs yet, but it's never a bad thing to go and check."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Old Mrs. Chen exclaimed in delight, "Little Tree's mother, she laid an egg!"
"..."
Su Yun'er was both amused and exasperated. These words were quite ambiguous, my dear mother-in-law!
As expected of a product from the Space, the big fat chicken laid two eggs for Old Chen's family on the very first day!
Well done, you fat chicken!
Su Yun'er had taken eggs out of her space to eat before, but in Chen Laotai's eyes, those were eggs that cost money to buy. But today, these were eggs laid by their own chickens, so they didn't cost any money, which naturally made her even happier.
Looking at the two still-warm eggs, Grandma Chen's smile deepened: "I'll cook them and give them to the children to nourish themselves."
“The whole family should eat. We can’t let the children feel like they’re special, and we can’t let them develop the bad habit of eating alone,” Su Yun’er corrected Grandma Chen’s thinking again.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Old Mrs. Chen was in a good mood and agreed with a smile.
The twins also got up at this time.
When the brother and sister heard from Grandma Chen that the hen had laid an egg, they excitedly ran over to watch. Neither of them had ever seen a hen lay an egg before.
After having a good time, Su Yun'er urged the two children to wash their hands and faces, and she and Grandma Chen made breakfast for the family.
After cracking two eggs into a bowl and beating them, boiling water is poured over them. The egg mixture is instantly broken up and cooked, turning into a bowl of egg drop soup. A drop or two of sesame oil is added. The elderly believe that this egg drop soup is not only nutritious, but also can relieve coughs and moisturize the lungs.
Grandma Chen steamed a pot of brown rice, and Su Yun'er used the leftover boiling water from making eggs to blanch some green vegetables, mixed them with seasonings, and that made a side dish to go with the rice.
With protein, vegetables, and healthy staple foods, you'll start your morning full of energy after eating.
After the meal, the brother and sister worked together to clear the dishes, cooperating harmoniously, a stark contrast to their bickering the day before.
Su Yun'er had convinced the sapling yesterday, and today she plans to continue working on the grass.
Yesterday, it was certainly wrong for the little tree to waste food, but the little grass also had a bad attitude towards its brother. It was domineering and fierce. Although it was in the right, if this is allowed to continue, the little grass will probably become the little tyrant of the house in the future.
Su Yun'er packed the snowflake sugar balls and candied hawthorns separately, intending to go to the city to try selling them.
"Little Grass, you need to exercise after you finish eating. Come on, walk with Mom for a while," Su Yun'er called out to Little Grass.
Xiao Cao answered crisply and ran over to help Su Yun'er get the basket.
It was a small basket, not much, but quite heavy. Xiao Cao tried to lift it a few times but couldn't. Watching Xiao Cao struggle with the basket, Su Yun'er couldn't help but smile.
"Let me do it, Mother. Come on, just keep me company and talk to me."
The mother and daughter went out together.
"Little Grass, did you make up with your brother last night?" Su Yun'er asked.
"Yes! My brother apologized to me." Little Grass skipped along as she walked, looking extremely happy.
"Little Grass, let me ask you, what does your brother say to you when you do something wrong?" Su Yun'er asked.
Not knowing why Su Yun'er asked the question, Xiao Cao tilted her head and began to recall: "My brother... he always seemed to pat my head and tell me not to do that."
"Touching your head? That sounds like a very gentle brother," Su Yun'er said.
"Hmm..." Xiaocao hesitated for a moment, her voice filled with doubt, "Yes, brother has always been very good to Xiaocao, brother has always been very gentle. In the past, when mother scolded me and hit me, it was always brother who comforted me."
As she spoke, Xiaocao's voice lowered.
Su Yun'er understood that Xiao Cao had probably already discovered the problem.
"Brother loves the little grass so much? Has he never been mean to it?"
After thinking for a moment, the little grass shook its head: "No."
As she spoke, Xiaocao raised her head, a hint of unease in her eyes: "Mother, I... but my brother did something wrong. Mother, that's how you always scolded us."
"Forehead……"
Speechless for a moment after hearing that, Su Yun'er felt somewhat helpless.
It is said that parents are the best teachers for their children, and it is true. They not only learn the good things, but also the bad things.
Su Yun'er cursed the original owner of the body under her breath again, and then analyzed the problem with Xiao Cao again.
"I was wrong before, and I have corrected my mistakes. Does Little Grass want to repeat my mistakes?" Su Yun'er shamelessly began to "self-criticize".
"And brother has seen mother's past mistakes, but he didn't treat you that way. Why is that?" Su Yun'er asked earnestly.
The little grass bit its lower lip and remained silent.
“Little Grass, your brother is our family. The most important thing for a family is unity and love. Your brother has always loved you very much, and I believe you love him too. Since you love each other, you should show it in your daily life. A bad attitude will tear that love apart, and it will be very difficult to repair it over time. Do you want to become like an enemy to your brother one day, ignoring each other?”
