Chapter 11
After visiting Aunt Wang, Xu Di began to study his own space.
In her previous life, Xu Di lived like a widow despite having a husband. To use a popular term on the Internet, it is "raising a child like a widow."
Accustomed to life without support, Xu Di still wants to take his destiny into his own hands.
For a year, Xu Di thought about preparing money first. If the opportunity came but he had no money, everything would be in vain.
Xu Di was thinking of trying his luck and seeing if there was a family with few people and many jobs. When you retire and there is no one to take over, you can buy a job with your own money.
At this time, jobs are stable and can be taken over by family members.
From the literature I've read about that period and comparing it to current prices, a good job would pay at least 1,800 yuan.
Xu Di made up his mind and began to make preparations.
Fortunately, she had her own room, and at night, she locked the door and entered the space.
The things that were smuggled in before are still there and remain the same.
It seems that this space has a preservation function.
Xu Di unlocked the first function of the space and tried to shout again.
"Automatic planting, system, spirit beast, display screen comes out..." In the end, it was all in vain, everything was the same as before, nothing happened.
This is a space with black soil that can preserve freshness, and nothing else.
Xu Di even doubted whether this black soil could grow crops.
There’s no point in thinking too much, just try it first.
Fortunately, Xu Di brought in all the hoes and pickaxes from home just in case.
Xu Di had lived in the countryside in both his past and present lives, and knew that one had to make ridges before planting vegetables.
Pick up the pickaxe and get to work.
After working for an unknown amount of time, panting, Xu Di finished five ridges and his arms were exhausted.
"Forget it, let's stop here for today."
Xu Di said to himself, five ridges, plant tomorrow.
Fortunately, the soil was loose and not compacted, otherwise her arms would have been broken.
After leaving the space, Xu Di went quietly to the living room and looked at the clock. It was 8:55 in the evening.
Before she entered the space, she took a look at the time. It was a little after eight o'clock. She had been working for so long and yet less than an hour had passed.
It seems that the flow rate in space is different from that outside, and I don’t know how many times the difference is.
Xu Di went to the bathroom to wash up and prepared to go to bed.
The next day, after breakfast, Xu Di went to school. In today's schools, learning is not the main purpose.
The college entrance examination has been stopped, and most people are just waiting to get their diploma so that they can go home to take over their parents' jobs or find a temporary job.
Those who have family backgrounds are arranged to join the army, art troupe, and various other places they can go.
Those who have no family background cannot find a job and have no choice but to go to the countryside.
"Xu Di, you didn't go to the event on Saturday. Let me tell you, those little red soldiers were too scary. They beat people's heads and made them bleed."
As soon as Yang Dani saw Xu Di come in, she pulled her back to her seat and whispered to her.
"Really? I went to my grandma's house in the countryside on Saturday."
Xu Di has been here for a while, but he has never seen a real-life criticism meeting. He has only heard about it from others. She knew this history, but as an ordinary citizen, she could not comment on whether it was right or wrong.
"Well, you are fine. You can go to the countryside anytime to support rural construction. I want to go, but my parents don't agree."
Yang Dani's family is well-off and her parents dote on her. How could they be willing to let her go to the countryside?
"If you really want to build the countryside, I'll take you to the countryside to experience it during the autumn harvest. Let's see if you have the ability to build the countryside. Let's prove it. At the very least, we can't cause trouble for our fellow farmers, right?"
"You must keep your word and cannot go back on your word. I will bring my own rations when the time comes. I cannot eat and drink for free."
Looking at the heartless Yang Dani, she is a child who grew up in a honey pot and is too naive.
Xu Di didn't have bad intentions, he just felt that since we had met by chance, he should help if he could. Otherwise, if a simple child like Yang Dani really impulsively signed up to go to the countryside, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.
The two of them were chattering in whispers until the teacher arrived and then they quieted down.
The teacher stands on the podium, and no matter what the students are doing, he is only responsible for finishing the lesson.
Too many bad things have happened in school, and the teachers have become cold-hearted and afraid.
Xu Di tried her best to follow the teacher's ideas. She had forgotten a lot of knowledge. It was a rare opportunity to start over, so she decided to study hard.
Seven years later, she is still young, and she can try those universities that she never dared to think about in her previous life.
The class was over and Xu Di had written two full pages of notes, his hands were sore.
"Xu Di, there is no college entrance examination now, why are you still studying hard?"
"What else can you do if you don't study in school? The knowledge you learn is yours. Even if you want to build the countryside, you can't be uneducated, right?"
Xu Di didn't dare to say anything about the resumption of the college entrance examination in the future. She had to keep her mask well and behave herself without revealing her true colors.
There are always people with good brains at any time. As a person with average IQ, she should not dream of doing anything big.
It is not easy to have a chance to start over again, so we should live well, enjoy our ordinary life, live healthily and happily until we are old, and not lose our life early.
Xu Di's life is just a straight line between school and home.
During the day, I study hard at school.
In the evening, after dinner, I went into the house early to rest and took the opportunity to enter the space to farm.
After Xu Di's unremitting efforts, two-thirds of the land in the space was planted with seeds. Moreover, the crops planted at the beginning have already sprouted, and Xu Di is relieved that this black soil can be used to grow crops.
After a few more days of hard work, she will plant corn on the remaining land. When the corn grows taller, she will buy some chicks and raise them in the space.
She tried it, and found that space can support living things.
In the 1970s, eggs were the currency of choice.
In the city, every family is limited to a certain number of egg coupons each month. If you want to buy more, there are none.
In rural areas, every household raises a fixed number of chickens, perhaps three or two per family, and they still lack eggs.
As for where to buy the chicks, Xu Di doesn’t know yet.
A few days before October 1st, the crops in Xu Di's space were more than one foot tall. Xu Di also estimated that the flow rate in the space was about three times that of the outside.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, it takes about a hundred days for corn to mature from planting. In that space, it only takes more than thirty days to mature.
The corn that Xu Di planted half a month ago has grown to the same height as her. There are two corn cobs on one plant, and they are both quite large.
Xu Di knew that the crop yields in the 1970s were not high, unlike the high-yield seeds of decades later.
It’s not the seeds that are the reason, it’s because the soil is fertile, so the yield can be high.
Xu Di silently thanked the fairies of the Ninth Heaven for leaving her such a treasure.
The crops were growing, but her chicks were still nowhere to be found.
To buy chicks from the seed factory in the city, you need a letter of introduction, otherwise, they won’t sell to you. Where can Xu Di find a letter of introduction?
Hens in the countryside start sitting on brood in spring. It’s autumn now, so where are the chicks?
If it really doesn't work, Xu Di plans to buy some eggs and hatch them herself in the space. She knows the principle.
Xu Di’s space focuses on doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing!
