So, Lin Momo usually spent her mornings practicing calligraphy and studying medicine in her study, and in the afternoons she would take Shi Guang to the space garden to plant melons and beans, including tender corn and strawberries that she loved to eat.
They said, "Let's practice first. Planting those two acres outside in the spring will be a piece of cake."
They agreed to farm together, but Lin Momo always managed to slip away unnoticed.
After arranging her work for Shiguang, she went into the backyard kitchen to figure out how to make pastries and candies.
Each time I finished making something, I would happily bring it to Shiguang for a taste test.
They still enjoy the days of being treated like slaves, and after tasting the food she feeds them, they always praise her highly: "My wife is amazing, her cooking is even better than what you can buy!"
Front yard space.
The small, previously unused vegetable garden has been transformed into a plot of land planted with soybeans, corn, and strawberries.
Lin Momo used up all the remaining strawberries while making popsicles, so she thought about growing some herself.
As for the seeds, they were strawberry seeds that she scraped off the strawberry skin with a fruit knife; they should be able to grow.
She had seen others grow it in videos before, and she wanted to try it too.
With such fertile soil, I believe there shouldn't be any problems.
Just in case, Lin Momo also planted some seeds she bought, so she could compare the two kinds in the future and see which one produced better fruit.
After the soil has been cultivated for a long time, the vegetables in the garden, such as cowpeas, green beans, peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes, have entered their peak fruiting period, and there is simply more than enough to eat.
Each type of vegetable can yield a small basketful every day, estimated to weigh about four or five pounds.
For Yu Lin, the more the merrier. If they can't finish them, they can just sort them and put them in the fresh vegetable storage room. They don't have to worry about them spoiling.
However, to add variety to the flavors, she also dried some vegetables, such as dried cowpeas and dried eggplants.
Adding some dried cowpeas to stewed meat creates an incredibly delicious flavor when combined with the aroma of the meat.
Dried eggplant, after being soaked in hot water, can be stir-fried or used as a filling for steamed buns. It tastes like meat and is quite delicious.
In previous years, her grandmother would dry the vegetables in the yard every summer when they couldn't be eaten, so she would save them for winter. Lin Momo loved eating them.

After a few busy days, Lin Momo decided to give herself and Shiguang a two-day break to relax.
It was another snowy day, freezing cold with a howling north wind.
Lin Momo became interested and sat with Shi Guang in the warm pavilion, brewing tea around the stove.
Looking at the swirling snowflakes outside the pavilion, she couldn't help but sigh, "There's so much snow this year. It only stopped for a few days, and now it's snowing again. Oh, time, do you think it's because there's been so much rain and snow this winter that next year will be dry?"
Just as Fan Chongyang said, this winter is going to be tough.
"That's possible." Shi Guang took a sip of tea, looking somewhat worried.
Lin Momo took a chestnut with a slightly charred outer skin from the grill and peeled it while saying, "Luckily, this house is built quite sturdily, otherwise it would have collapsed under the weight of the snow."
If the families living in thatched huts outside don't climb onto their roofs to shovel snow in time, their houses will surely be damaged by the thick snow.
Even though their house was sturdy, Lin Momo didn't dare to be careless. She planned to climb the ladder and use her spatial ability to collect the snow once the snow on the roof exceeded a certain thickness.
Better safe than sorry.
After popping a peeled chestnut into her mouth, Lin Momo looked up and noticed that Shi Guang seemed a little absent-minded. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Shi Guang, are you worried about your grandfather?"
"Hmm." Shi Guang nodded. "I wonder where Grandfather is? Did he encounter any snow? He's ill, so I'm quite worried about him."
Shi Guang was a little worried when it snowed last time, but he knew that thinking too much would be useless and didn't want Lin Momo to worry with him, so he didn't show his emotions much.
Unexpectedly, after only a few days of clear skies, it started snowing again, which made him even more worried about his grandfather.
Lin Momo counted the days on her fingers, then looked up and smiled at the passing time: "It's been about half a month since your grandfather left. I guess he's already home."
"Besides, the humidity is higher in the mountains than outside. Just because it's snowing here doesn't mean it's snowing outside."
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
With his burden gone and his grandfather eager to return home, he knew he would get back faster than he had come. According to the distance, he had indeed arrived at his son's post, so he was relieved.
*
Scholar Shi has indeed arrived home.
Although we encountered snow on the way, the snow there was not as heavy as in the north, so it did not affect our journey.
In order to get back as soon as possible, the master and servant traveled day and night and arrived home in twelve days.
When Shi Yu saw that his father had finally returned after two months, he frowned. But before he could even voice his complaints, his father's words shocked him.
Upon seeing his son and daughter-in-law, Shi Xiucai announced, "I have something to tell you. Guangyao has already gotten married in our hometown. I've left the young couple there, so you parents don't need to worry about him."
From now on, you, as his father, should stop complaining about his lack of ambition.
Your wife should stop trying to scheme against him.
He won't be in anyone's way anymore.
Are you all satisfied now?
Shi Xiucai felt angry whenever he thought about these things.
Before Shi Yu could react, Mrs. Shi exclaimed in surprise:
"What? Guangyao is married? Didn't Father-in-law say he was taking Guangyao out to visit friends? How come he's getting married already? Even if he's getting married, Father-in-law should have told the family, right? This is my husband's eldest son. Whose daughter is she marrying? Is she even good enough for our Guangyao?"
