Chapter 113: [Space Expansion]
After dinner, Xie Zheng did not get the opportunity to get along with Xu Ning alone, and Xu Rui, the little guy, was always entangled by her.
Xu Jianjun is not used to play mahjong this year. Uncle Yao is here, and four old men gather together, making it very lively.
As the New Year bell rang, everyone smiled at each other and greeted each other. Xu Ning also knew that the old uncle Yao still had the same way of greeting the New Year with his hands and fists, which was quite novel.
After the three of them celebrated the New Year with their elders, the dumplings at home were also prepared. In previous years, they were all at home for New Year's Eve dinner, but this year they got together.
The three of them received New Year's money from their elders. Xie Zheng and Xu Ning were the same. Xu Rui received New Year's money for the first time this year, so the number was slightly higher, but in the end he would still be put away by the old lady.
"Brother Zheng, have you ever seen her in the emperor?" Firecrackers roared outside, and the two of them sat in Xie Zheng's room and spoke.
Xie Zheng knew who she was asking, and played with Xu Ning's soft palm and chuckled: "How come you still remember this? I saw it when I went to the Chen family to pay New Year's greetings. But I will not be with her in this life. If I still walk on my life, what is the meaning of my rebirth?"
"..." Xu Ning was silent.
Yes, what is the meaning of Xie Zheng’s rebirth?
He is already in a high position and has no worries about life. Why?
"And I don't think Chen Qianwen is willing to marry me in this life." Xie Zheng lowered his head and fell a wet and cool kiss in her palm. "I am not suitable for her. Even if I still have to be together, it will probably be the end of my previous life."
Xu Ning didn't want to ask, of course she also wanted to occupy Xie Zheng for the rest of her life, but Chen Qianwen was a hurdle that she couldn't overcome in her heart.
Xie Zheng could let go, but she felt uncomfortable.
Regarding this, Xie Zheng did not intend to comfort her. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. The key is that she has to figure it out by herself, but this does not prevent him from continuing to love this girl.
In the following time, Xie Zheng was not only warm with Xu Ning every day, but also took her to preview the textbooks for the next semester. He would wait for the summer vacation to read the textbooks for high school and come step by step.
In the space, Xu Ning carefully picked out the buds and leaves of the tea. Because of the limited area, he could only pick many at a time. Fortunately, he could come in at least twice a day. It would be fine to save more than 100 kilograms of fresh tea around the Qingming Festival next year.
My family also likes to drink tea, and she, a person who rarely drinks tea for two lives, fell in love with it when she drank the tea in her own space.
After drinking that taste, it will make people miss it. If you drink other teas, you will find that it is both astringent and bitter.
I had three taels of tea at home, so I gave it half of the old uncle Yao. I also drank some of this during the Chinese New Year, and there was not much left. I originally wanted to give Uncle Jiang's family aside, so I put down my thoughts. I would rather wait for Grandma Luo to help fry it after the Qingming Festival before talking about it.
At worst, she could come in diligently to pick tea every day. Even though the process was really laborious, Xu Ning had to take it carefully.
After creeping into the space at night, Xu Ning suddenly discovered that the land in the space had expanded by one acre again, and now it has three acres of land. Although the literal meaning of three acres of land is not big, but when I really stood looking down, Xu Ning felt that it was still very spacious.
Xu Ning was not idle at the vacant acre of land, and once again inserted the tea branches into the soil. According to her intention, she could keep one and a half acres of tea trees in the future. If the land was expanded again, she would prepare to plant something else.
In the current space, vegetables, fruits and melons in one acre of land, medicinal materials grown on half acre of land, and tea trees on one acre of land are distributed very evenly, making people feel refreshed at a glance, and the spring has expanded without surprise, with an area of about three times three, which seems to be expanded according to the expansion of the land.
However, she still did not grasp the law of land expansion this time. If she knew, she could still accelerate the expansion according to this law.
Is it based on the type of crop or the value of the crop?
She couldn't figure it out and didn't care. She hurried to pick the tea leaves for tonight.
Xu Ning placed all the picked tea leaves on an open space next to the black soil, and the area of this open space was much larger than the beginning.
Even so, as long as she wants to take it out of the space, it will be very convenient, and she can just think of it.
Since she promised Grandma Luo to give her 30 kilograms of dry tea this year, she would prepare 150 kilograms of fresh tea. Xu Ning meant to pick 200 kilograms of fresh tea first, and they could drink the rest by themselves or give it to others.
Compared to tobacco and alcohol, tea is a healthy gift.
After picking the tea leaves, Xu Ningliu reached the medicinal material area. Several medicinal materials were still growing quietly inside. According to the rules she has figured out over the years, it seems that as long as they mature, they will stop growing. At least vegetables are fruits and vegetables. Since it is a magical artifact like space, even if it is medicinal materials, it may be the best time to grow.
After digging out a ginseng last year, Xu Ning never dug it again, and she also collected a lot of herbs as the seeds matured. Although she learned a lot of medicinal foods about ginseng with Grandpa Yao, Xu Ning did not cook it easily, because she was afraid that the people in her space would be much better than those outside, so that she could not know the dosage. She planned to leave this first, and it would not be too late to do it when she went to college and learned this knowledge.
After Xie Zheng left, Xu Ning's life became dull. Although he would kiss and hug her in different ways every time, Xu Ning would shyly resist a few words, but when he really left, the longing in his heart would continue to surge.
In fact, Xie Zheng was reluctant to leave. God knows how worried he has been in the emperor for the past six months. The little girl is getting better and better. If he is accidentally attracted by a piece of miscellaneous person, he may not be able to come back if he runs to death.
So before leaving, she took Xu Ning and told her not to talk to men, let alone laugh, so that she could not make some people with bad minds illusions.
What Xu Ning can say can only agree. Not only Xie Zheng is afraid, but she is also afraid.
At the age of sixteen, she is as old as a girl. In addition, Xu Ning eats and drinks all things in the space. Her skin is fair and moist, and her facial features are bright and delicate. There will definitely be no second in the countryside.
It’s not just Xu Ning, but Xu Rui is still a little baby and her skin is naturally good. Even Xu Jianjun and Qin Xuejuan have this obvious feeling, that is, their skin has become particularly soft and the wrinkles on the old lady’s face have not decreased, but they look much better than the rural old lady of the same age and are in great spirits.
So without realizing it, there seemed to be more boys in Xiangshan Village, and they often played and quarreled on the street.
As a boy, he will naturally have fantasies when he sees beautiful girls. But nowadays, there is really no brave young rural boy who dares to come to Xu Ning to ask for dating. But when he comes here to play, he can always meet Xu Ning. How can she not go out all day long?
As a result, the boys from the outside village who come to Xiangshan Village to play with classmates every week are really disappointed. Xu Ning can stay at home all day, and occasionally even if you go out, you may not be able to touch them.
However, Xu Ning's grandmother often led Xu Rui on the street, but they didn't come here to see the old ladies and children, so they were disappointed.
Before the Qingming Festival, Luo Xijun called Lao Yao Uncle to inquire about the situation of fresh tea.
Xu Ning had not had a holiday yet. When Uncle Lao Yao came to ask, Qin Xuejuan told her that the fresh tea was ready. Uncle Lao Yao went back to Luo Xijun, and said that someone would drive here that day.
Of course, Luo Xijun was anxious. The little tea she left herself would drink all of it all over the Spring Festival. They were all children of the family. What could she say?
So before the Qingming Festival, she couldn't wait to call. The tea picked before and after the Qingming Festival and the dry tea made from fried also tasted very different. She also urged her, otherwise Ms. Luo would really cry.
After returning home from school, Xu Ning heard his mother talk about this.
Because the high school entrance examination is soon here, Xu Ning will not have a holiday on Qingming Festival, but she can take out all the fresh tea on the morning of the arrival of the person there and take it away directly when the person comes.
Many other parents are busy with their children's high school entrance examinations at this time. The Xu family is still as slow as before. They probably know that Xu Ning is a planned child, so Xu Jianjun and his wife did not interrupt much. They tasted the sweetness of being the first place in the school year. Few children will let their grades fall.
Early that morning, Xu Jianjun spread a plastic cloth in the Jiang family yard and asked Xu Ning to take out all the fresh tea leaves. Then the father and daughter should go to work and go to school. If Qin Xuejuan is at home, it would be useless for them to stay.
Ms. Luo still came here with her grandson. Before she could enter the yard, she smelled a refreshing smell of tea. This smell was different from dry tea, but Ms. Luo, who had been with tea for a lifetime, could easily be different.
This is the tea she made last year.
Before, she was just a small bag, but now she saw the green fresh tea leaves spread out in the yard, and her mood was not something that could be explained by the word "excited".
"Aunt Luo, there are about 200 kilograms here, and I will leave you 150 kilograms. I will help you fry the rest." Xu Jianjun said with a smile.
Luo Xijun waved his hand, "This is all a trivial matter. One hundred pounds and two hundred pounds are to be fried, there is no difference."
At this time, she was squatting in front of tea, picking it up and checking it carefully.
Last year I saw only a tender bud, but this year I carried a leaf. However, after seeing the leaf, the expression on her face was shocked and thoughtful.
If only tender buds are the essence, is that true, but even a leaf grows so willful?
The leaves are very small, but they are as green as ink. When you hold them in your hands, you feel like you are pulsating. Of course, this is an illusion. It can only show that even tea leaves with a leaf are the finest products. The frying may not be as good as the previous one, but the gap is small.
What kind of water and soil is this that can cultivate such a perfect tea tree.
"Jianjun, actually I really want to ask where your tea is picked from, but you won't tell me, right?" Luo Xijun asked regretfully.
Xu Jianjun laughed and said, "This is really not something to say, but Aunt Luo, the tea tree is not large in area, and she can only provide so many every year."
"There are quite a lot of these. If your tea area is large enough, I guess there is no need to sell other teas on the market. It's rare to be expensive." Luo Xijun asked someone to load the tea with the car, and the things she brought can preserve the tea very well. At least after returning to Hangzhou, there will be no changes and will not affect the taste of the tea.
Xu Jianjun wanted to keep them for a meal together, but it was obvious that Luo Xijun was very anxious and said that he would chat with Lao Yao and rush back to Hangzhou. After the tea was made, she would send it to someone.
When he came to Uncle Lao Yao's house, Luo Xijun saw that Uncle Lao Yao's face was a little dark, and he knew that he must have remembered her words during the Chinese New Year.
"Don't you want to see me?" Luo Xijun laughed, "So, you, my wife has been away for decades, and it's time to find a partner to live with you. If you have this skill, you can't be hungry, right? You really don't know what you are concerned about."
"It's so wide." Old Uncle Yao snorted coldly, "Have you brought all the tea?"
"Well, I've loaded the car. I'll go back after chatting with you. Let Canglan come by himself in the future."
"Then why don't you leave, why are you doing here?"
"Hey, you old guy, I'm a rare trip. You won't even give me a cup of tea. Fortunately, you didn't agree to what I said, otherwise, with your temper, they probably wouldn't follow you."
After saying that, Luo Xijun saw that Lao Yao didn't say anything, and thought of the little boy who was sitting in the study reading with a pharmacy book when he was young, as if he was a different life.
Ren Yongjia is definitely not ugly. He was a very beautiful boy when he was young. Moreover, because of the Ren family's practice of medicine for generations, he felt quite calm and outspoken since childhood. Unfortunately, he was tortured by time and looked haggard and lame. She felt really uncomfortable.
"Brother Jia, I mean the truth. The old sister is a very good person and has been a neighbor for decades. I don't think you don't have a good impression of her, but you get along well with her. Why not try it?"
"How can I try this kind of thing casually?" Old Yao straightened up and knocked on the back. "Their life is getting more and more prosperous. What do I do if I go up and do it. Those who don't know will say that I'm asking someone Jianjun's family to support me in their old age. I can't afford to lose that person. Besides, I can't starve to death anyway, and I have spare money in my hands. At worst, I can't move, so I go to the sanatorium to wait for death. Why bother to drag people down?"
Seeing what Luo Xijun wanted to say, Lao Yao Uncle continued, "She can't forget her old man. She has been widowed for more than 30 years. At this time, I said I would live with her. Am I still a human being?"
"What are you competing with a person who has passed away?" Luo Xijun was amused and crying, "You also said that the other party has been dead for thirty years. If you stand on the other party's side, would you hope your wife will remarry? How sad it is to take care of the child alone, you can understand it even if you think about it. And now you have finally lived a good life with your child, why can't you leave the rest of your time for yourself? I think my old sister doesn't disgust you."
"..." Old Uncle Yao glared at Luo Xijun, "How do you say?"
Luo Xijun laughed, "Try it, I remember you are not the kind of person who is timid. Even if your previous life is not satisfactory, you can't let your next life down, right?"
"Okay, okay, go quickly, I don't have anything delicious to entertain you at home." As he said, Lao Yao still stuffed some edible medicinal herbs into Luo Xijun and asked her to take them back.
Luo Xijun left without staying for long.
In the car, Chen Canglan looked at his grandmother and asked, "Does Grandpa Ren have no children?"
"Yes!" Luo Xijun sighed, "I had a fight with him when I was a teenager, and ran away from home and never went back. If I were alive, I would be in my forties now."
"Why quarrel?" Chen Canglan couldn't understand. The father and son had run away from home for decades. He felt that the son was really too much.
Even if two people have a good relationship, they still have a fight. Before the father and son have ever quarreled, he often quarreled with his father and made a fuss. But he never said he had the idea of running away from home. Even if you want to be alone, this quiet has lasted for more than 30 years, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Luo Xijun looked ahead and said lightly: "Why..."
Chen Canglan did not interrupt, and there was an emotion in his eyes when he looked at his grandmother that he could not understand.
"Because the child fought with someone, his father scolded him a few words."
"It's not worth running away from home." Chen Canglan wanted to laugh a little, for the man who ran away from home.
"Yes, I also heard from your grandfather Ren. At that time, he and another young man in the village fell in love with a young widow whose husband had just died in the neighboring village. Your grandfather Ren is not the kind of unreasonable person, but they both hit the door of his little wife's house. In that era, feudal ideas had not been eliminated. Naturally, people were afraid of the right and wrong in front of the widow. As a result, the little widow hanged himself that night, and was forced to death by the verbal verbal in the village. How could your grandfather Ren not be angry? He is a doctor and is dedicated to practicing medicine to save people, but his son recklessly forced a woman to die of a husband-lost woman. He just gave a few lessons. The child was too angry and disappeared that night."
Chen Canglan understood that not to mention that more than thirty years ago, even now, something happened in front of the widow's door, would make people go back and forth after dinner for a long time. Who can withstand such insults if a woman wants some face?
"So according to grandma's idea, is the other party still alive?"
"In that era, it was not easy to live. I thought that the person was gone, so I would persuade Grandpa Ren to find another wife so that he would not be lonely and helpless. If he was still alive, at least when his mother died, the person should come back. But Grandpa Ren did not give up. He has been waiting for the dilapidated courtyard for decades. Waiting for the wait, he turned white and his back hunched."
