Chapter 41: The Space Upgraded

When Su Anan entered the space again, she found a small house.

All the vegetables she had previously picked were neatly arranged in the small house.

This was quite a surprise.

She hadn’t even had a good nap.

However, this small room couldn’t solve the problem of the vegetables rotting; she still had to contact the village committee quickly to sell them.

It would be a shame if they rotted.

There were so many she couldn’t eat. If it didn’t work, she would find an excuse to give them away.

At least for now, she had solved the problem of her own vegetable consumption.

The space gave her another surprise: what was originally one mu of land had become ten mu.

Standing at the door of the house, looking at the ridiculously large field, she felt achy all over.

It seemed that this space had a leveling-up system.

She had previously planted those vegetables and picked all the ripe ones.

These were the rewards.

She felt she wouldn’t be able to finish planting these ten mu of land in her lifetime, so she had a sudden idea and decided to plant fruit trees.

As for vegetables, she would only plant a small area.

Enough for her and Lu Jingchen’s three meals a day, with extra to give to the neighbors.

Then she turned over a small plot of land.

She soaked in the pool for a while.

Then she swam to the spring where the pool and the mountain peak met and drank some water.

Actually, swimming in the pool could also relieve the fatigue of her body, but after drinking the water, she felt even more refreshed, her whole body feeling comfortable.

Afterwards, she left the space, took a large enamel basin from home, and went back into the space to fill it with mountain spring water.

This time, she discovered a problem.

If she planted vegetables and turned the soil in the space, time was still.

But she had just gone in to get spring water, and waited until her clothes and hair were dry before coming out.

An hour had passed.

It seemed that the space wasn’t completely still.

When she left the space, she also took some muskmelons and gave some to her neighbors.

Their vegetable plots almost didn’t have any melons planted.

Because the vegetable plots weren’t big, they weren’t willing to use them to grow melons.

They planted more vegetables so they wouldn’t have to buy them in the summer. Actually, they couldn’t finish eating the vegetables, and most of them were sent to the cooking class.

She gave Mrs. Xin’s family a few more melons, and gave Gousheng some honey three-knife cakes and peach crisps.

“Anan, we can’t accept these.” Mrs. Xin repeatedly refused, refusing to accept them.

Her family lived in the same kind of house as Su Anan.

However, six people lived in this room.

Originally, there were seven people in the family, but Mrs. Xin’s eldest son was old enough to join the army.

He wasn’t in this war zone, but in the Northwest.

The remaining four children and Mrs. Xin and her husband lived here.

With so many people, the room seemed crowded.

It was also very dilapidated.

Su Anan had long guessed that Mrs. Xin’s family was having difficulties.

This was also the case for most families in this era.

After all, resources were limited.

Mrs. Xin’s family, in particular, had one person supporting six people. Su Anan didn’t show any pity, but just looked at the children: “Sister Xin, you know, I’m not in good health, I can’t do anything. Sister helped turn over that vegetable patch, and Gousheng helped me water it the other day. I was thinking, if the children aren’t busy, could they help me? After the vegetables are ripe, I’ll give half to your family; Lu Jingchen and I can’t eat that much.”

The four children were all in school, and Gousheng wasn’t old enough yet.

After school, they would also go to the mountains to work.

For Su Anan’s vegetable patch, weeding, turning the soil, and watering – Gousheng could do it.

“We all live in the same courtyard, what’s the point of helping or not helping? Let Gousheng and his second brother go, they can help you plant.” Mrs. Xin thought of the honey three-knife cakes Gousheng brought back yesterday, and already felt guilty, “We don’t need anything.”

The people here were very simple.

Helping each other was common.

But Su Anan, who couldn’t carry or lift anything, really couldn’t help others with anything.

She also looked helpless: “Sister Xin, I know we all help each other, but I can’t help you with anything. If you don’t want these things, I’ll be embarrassed to ask Gousheng to help me in the future.”

“You child…” Mrs. Xin was anxious. Su Anan and her eldest son were about the same age, and she didn’t care if she was the regiment commander’s wife, “Really no need to be so polite, we’re all comrades and brothers!”

“We’re all brothers and sisters, Sister Xin, don’t be polite.” Su Anan put down the melons and cakes, “Sister, do you go to the mountain every day?”

Lu Jingchen was leaving for a mission, and she had to go to the mountains to find some wild game, and also try to see if she could transplant the fruit seeds into the space.

She also had to buy some saplings and seeds.

The space had given her such a big surprise, she had to cherish it and make good use of it.

“Yes, I go to the mountain to pick some wild fruits, cut some pig grass, and there are some fields to plant.” Mrs. Xin didn’t hide anything.

Most people did this.

Some military wives who came with the army had work quotas, and two people earned wages, so they could live better.

Mrs. Xin herself didn’t have a job, she farmed at home, and when she came here, she continued to farm.

The army would give subsidies, but with so many children, and they needed to go to school and eat, it wasn’t enough.

Su Anan nodded and didn’t suggest going to the mountain together.

She thought Mrs. Xin would refuse.

It was fine usually, but if they went to the mountain, someone would have to take care of her, she was a burden.

Except for Gousheng, Mrs. Xin’s other three children would secretly look at Su Anan.

Mainly, in this war zone, in the entire mountain area, even going to the county town, they had never seen such a beautiful and clean girl.

In fact, now, half the war zone was discussing the newly arrived Eighth Regiment commander and his wife.

Plus, Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhang Lun were transferred from the capital to this remote mountainous area, a war zone.

It caused a lot of gossip.

Su Anan’s popularity was quite high.

However, Ruan Jiaojiao spread more rumors, and from her words, most people thought that Su Anan used tricks to deceive Lu Jingchen, and this was a military marriage, it couldn’t be broken.

After all, what kind of family was Lu Jingchen from, and what kind of family was Su Anan from?

They were not comparable at all.

“Xin Hao, tomorrow you take your younger brothers to help Mrs. Lu clean up her vegetable patch.” Mrs. Xin felt guilty, these things weren’t worth much money, but they couldn’t afford them, and they didn’t have extra money to buy things for their children.

Hearing the name Xin Hao, Su Anan looked over sharply. This was the number one lickspittle of the original female lead, Xia Yuting.

And for the female lead, he did all sorts of bad things, and in the end, he even took the blame for the female lead and ate rat poison.

His elder brother was punished, his parents cut ties with him, his two younger sisters died tragically, and his younger brother was missing.

It was this family.

When she read the novel, Su Anan wanted to jump into the book and gouge out Xin Hao’s eyeballs. Since he was blind, he shouldn’t have eyes!

It was really infuriating.

He actually treated Xia Yuting, that kind of trash woman, like a treasure.

But the young man in front of her was still very simple, even timid, and didn’t dare to look at her.
