Because I bought steamed buns, I didn’t cook anything else tonight. I just made two bowls of brown sugar water for the children and one big meat bun for each of them.

The fish had a small appetite and couldn’t eat one, so he gave some to Li Shixi.

After dinner, Li Changle poured some hot water for them to wash their hands and faces.

She took out the blanket that had been put into the quilt cover yesterday and replaced it with the cotton core that she had bought today.

Two blankets, one used as a bed sheet and the other used together with the quilt.

With such luxurious sheets, she didn't believe she would feel cold.

Yu'er was tucked into bed early as usual. The little girl was listless. Before falling asleep, she murmured softly, "I want my mother..."

This little ball was so cute that Li Changle was overwhelmed with it.

"Hey, mom also wants fish."

It feels so good to be a cheap mom.

Li Shixi leaned on the bed and watched the interaction between the two. He felt that this scene was extremely familiar. His mother had teased him like this before. Before going to bed, she would always say, "Shixi, go to sleep quickly so that you can see your mother when you wake up."

When Li Changle turned around, he saw him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She took Li Shixi's hand and complained deliberately, "I am so tired today. Do you know how far it is to walk to the county? Auntie is feeling dizzy right now. You have to help her with some work."

After hearing this, Li Shixi no longer felt melancholy, and the feeling of being at a loss also disappeared.

"Shixi will help you!"

What would happen to the family without him? Just one trip to the county to sell eggs had already made my aunt so tired.

-

By the time Li Shixi finished his fire-making work and went to bed, the kitchen work was almost done.

There were three large and small clay pots on the stove. The oil pot was filled with a full jar of lard mixed with peanut oil, and there was also a small clay pot each for soy sauce and salt.

There was also a bowl of lard residue next to it.

The room was filled with the aroma of oil, and Li Changle smiled silently.

Well, in the next one or two months, there will be no shortage of oil and salt at home.

"So host, when will the farming mission start?"

Li Changle was in a good mood and waved her hand, "Open it now."

Oil and salt cannot be eaten as meals, so she had to find a way to earn money for pork and grain. After all, there was only 100 kilograms of rice in the warehouse that her mother had asked her to stockpile, along with the coarse grain flour, which could only last for a while.

"Ding! Welcome host to the D interstellar pastoral life interface.

The host's current farming area is 10 square meters, and the farming environment is: firewood room."

Woodshed???

How to farm in a firewood room?

"Seed Category A: Space Seed

Seeds B: Ordinary seeds

Please choose to purchase seeds on your own."

She called up the system page and found the pastoral life page.

It is opened in a special mission.

There is only one special task, which is farming task, which is pastoral life.

The page now displays:

Farming mission address:

Firewood shed in Li's courtyard

Cultivated area:

10 square meters

Farming task progress:

0%

On the right side of the page is a simulated image of a firewood room, which is very realistic and even the unused firewood is displayed on the page.

"How do I plant this?" Li Changle, completely confused, asked the system for help.

Do I have to hoe the ground and plant in the firewood room?

"Host, you can actually plant without hoeing the ground."

"Don't be pretentious."

"Host, open the pastoral life and buy seeds first. After you have the seeds, the system will distribute the soil."

As long as there is soil, you can farm.

Li Changle rubbed his hands and said, "This is really a new experience in life."

She opened the space seeds, which were filled with pictures of vegetables, fruits and seeds with the names of the seeds. The word "Buy" was written next to each picture.

Li Changle browsed the page and tried to buy spinach seeds. Two contribution points were deducted from her when she paid.

"Is it so expensive?" She looked at the granular object wrapped in oil paper in her hand.

Just a small handful like this costs 2 contribution points...

"Host, the seeds you purchase each time are enough for all your current cultivated areas. For example, if your current cultivated area is 10 square meters, then this amount of seeds is enough for you to plant 10 square meters. If you want to plant other things, continue to buy other seeds and plant them together. Keep some of each type until the current crop is harvested, and continue planting next time. You don't need to buy again."

Li Changle followed the system's instructions and placed an order for garlic and cabbage seeds.

After I bought the seeds, I actually saw the words "Please collect the soil for cultivation" under the order form.

Fortunately, the system has 10 contribution points, and you get soil for free when you buy seeds.

Current contribution points: 4.

Before collecting the soil, she opened the woodshed. There was nothing inside except half a load of remaining firewood and a broken water jar. Two sticks of firewood with branches stood on the ground, with a bamboo pole across them. This was probably the one that Li Shixi mentioned for hanging clothes to dry.

The ground was a hard-packed dark grey mud.

Li Changle stood in the middle of the woodshed and received three orders of soil.

Almost instantly, three piles of soil appeared at my feet. They were black in color and contained rotten leaves. Each pile was quite heavy.

I remember her mother said that black soil is the most fertile, has high fertility, and the food grown there tastes better.

She looked at three piles of earth on the ground. It was pitch black, with only a torch lighting the woodshed.

Ten square meters of land is not a lot, and she can still flatten the soil, but the problem is that she has no tools at hand.

Pick up the soil with your hands?

She left the woodshed, walked around the yard, and finally picked up a piece of wood in a corner against the back wall of the house. It looked like it was sawed off a broken bed board.

Li Changle took the wooden board back to the woodshed, moved the remaining firewood to the kitchen door, lifted up the hem of her skirt and tied a knot, and began to dig three piles of soil with the wooden board.

As she clumsily dug the soil around, she amused herself by thinking that her mother would never have imagined in her lifetime that her daughter would one day roll up her sleeves and do farm work where she couldn't see.

After working for more than half an hour, the three piles of soil were finally flattened and divided into three small plots, each for planting three kinds of vegetables.

She reported to the system, "I'm going to plant some seeds. I've never planted vegetables before. Will they really grow if I plant them like this?"

"Host, just let go and do it."

She couldn't tell the cabbage seeds and spinach seeds in her hands apart.

Garlic sprout seeds are easy to recognize, as they are broken off from garlic.

With great anticipation, she sowed seeds on every piece of land, even the broken jar in the corner, filling it with soil and planting garlic.

When planting garlic, she didn't know which end should face up or down. Then she remembered that the garlic she often bought at home sometimes sprouted from the small ends, so it should be right to plant the big end facing down.

After finishing the sowing, she stood up and looked around, "Finally it's done."

Ask the system: "What else do I need to do?"

System: "Host, you need to water it."

such……

She ran to the kitchen, filled a wooden bucket with water from the large vat, and watered the three small plots of land.

Then he clapped his hands, "Is it okay?"

System: "Okay." If you are greedy for cheapness and buy something other than space seeds, you won't be able to eat this dish.

"Ding! The host has completed 20% of the pastoral life farming task, and the system rewards +2 contribution points.

Current contribution points: 6. ”

She was so beautiful that I just spent 6 contribution points and earned 2 back.

Li Changle walked into the kitchen with his shoulders shrugged, closed the doors and windows, scooped out the hot water reserved in the rice jar to wet a cloth, wiped his face, and then rinsed his hands and feet.

There are still some things missing, such as wooden barrels, basins, pots, and two farming tools.

Otherwise I'll have to dig the ground directly next time.

Then, before she drifted off to sleep in her bed, she seemed to hear a familiar voice.

“Ouch~~”
