It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 2 Growing Food in Space
After dinner, Su Rui asked the shopkeeper about the specific location of the grain shop.After thanking him, he took his brothers and sisters and rushed to the grain store.

"Line up to buy, don't squeeze," the man yelled.

After queuing for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Su family siblings.

"Second brother, how do you sell the rice and flour?"

"Rice is 25 renminbi a catty, and white flour is 28 renminbi a catty." The man looked at Su Rui differently. You must know that there is a drought and there is a shortage of food. In order to buy more food, many people are reluctant to buy rice and white flour.

"Eldest sister, don't buy rice and white noodles. It's too expensive." The elder brother anxiously pulled Su Rui.

"Xiao Liu is too young, rice soup is nutritious, you should eat something good too. It's okay, don't worry, Eldest Sister can take care of you." Su Rui touched Su Chenrui's hair bun distressedly.

"Please help me pack five catties of noodles, five catties of rice, and ten catties of cornmeal."

"Okay, rice is 25 Wen per catty, 120 catties is 28 Wen, white flour is 140 Wen per catty, five catties is 150 Wen, cornmeal is 410 Wen per catty, ten catties is [-] Wen, and Chenghui is [-] Wen." Settle the bill and ask the buddy to weigh and pack the grain.

Su Rui gave the money, took the packaged grain, and asked the shopkeeper.

"Boss, do you know where seeds are sold?"

"Our grain store still has some seeds left over from last year." The shopkeeper asked the clerk to take out a large package from the cabinet, and opened it to find several small cloth bags.

"Give me some of everything." Su Rui looked at the seeds and decided to ask for some.

Xiao Er quickly wrapped the seeds and handed them to Su Rui "Chenghui Eighty Wen"

Several food bags were put into the back basket by the second, third, and fourth children one by one.

The second child, Su Ying, was carrying ten catties of grain, and her waist was bent.

"Second sister, come and hug Xiao Liu."

Su Rui lifted the pannier from the second child's back, Xiao Liu stuffed it into her arms, put the seeds into the pannier, and walked to the grocery store.

On the way back after buying salt, sugar and vegetable seeds, I saw skinny people staring at the Su family siblings with salivating eyes.

Su Wan was so frightened that she directly grabbed Eldest Sister's hand and whispered, "Eldest Sister, they are so scary."

"Don't be afraid, my eldest sister will go to the village head uncle to see if he can ask someone to build the courtyard wall higher. The wall at home is too low, and adults can easily climb in." Su Rui comforted softly as she walked quickly past the victims.

Before dark, the siblings of the Su family finally arrived home, and the food was put into the house.

"Food can't just be left on the bright side like this. If someone finds out, we won't have anything to eat. My eldest sister found a hidden place in the mountains and decided to put it in the mountains and go every day to get back a day's supply. "Su Rui looked at the food and always felt uneasy. Thinking of the performance of the old Su family in the village, she often came to search for things, even took away the dead mother's cotton coat.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Su Chenrui also remembered what the old house did.

Su Rui pulled Su Chenrui back, "No, what if there are too many people, what should I do if I'm found out? It's safer for the elder sister to go by herself. In the future, the elder sister will pick it up every morning." Joke, what secret place is there in the mountains? Of course it is placed in the Futian treasure land of the space.There is no safer place in the world than that.

"Brother, listen to what Eldest Sister says." Su Ying agrees that Eldest Sister goes up the mountain alone and knows the secret alone. It's a secret.It's no secret when two people know about it.

Su Rui took out a bowl of cornmeal.Put the rest into a big back basket, carry it and walk up the mountain. Fortunately, the Su family is at the foot of the mountain, and few people notice it.

When she couldn't see the house, Su Rui thought that the jade pendant would disappear after she fainted and woke up again. When she couldn't get out of the so-called Futian Treasure Land, she seemed to shout "I want to go out "Back to reality.

Does that mean I can go in again by shouting "I want to go in" now?

"I'm going in."

As soon as the voice fell, Su Rui entered the space. Su Rui put the money left over from buying grain and the grain together with the basket into the small wooden house in the space.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard a sharp female voice, "Girl Ying, where is your elder sister? Someone saw you go to the county today. What did you buy? Why didn't you send it to the old house to honor your grandma?"

Su Rui walked into the courtyard quickly, and saw a woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, pointing at the head of her second sister, Su Ying.

Su Rui quickly pulled Su Ying behind her, raised her head and said to Wang, "Auntie is here. Why do you know what we are doing? Don't tell me you are watching us all the time? Do we have any money in our family? Doesn't Auntie know?" Are you clear?"

"Miss Rui, are you okay? Didn't you say that you bleed a lot! Oh, you really killed your parents, and you are lucky." Aunt Li covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

"Auntie, there is no food at home, and I am about to die of starvation. I just want to try my luck when I go to the county to see if I can meet a rich lady to give me some food. If not, I will go to the old house to borrow some food. You guys See how much food you can lend us?" Su Rui didn't care about the cynicism of Su Li and her uncle.

"You don't respect your grandparents, and you still want to borrow food. Why are you so big-faced?" The uncle of the Su family, Wang Shi, glared at Su Rui angrily.

"We also want to be filial to our grandparents. Unfortunately, our parents passed away early, and our siblings are still young. This year, we encountered a severe drought. The wild vegetables in previous years have all died of drought this year. Auntie, auntie, please take pity on our siblings." Let's go! Otherwise, we will starve to death before the autumn harvest!" Su Rui began to cry as she spoke.

"Look at what girl Rui said, we have to leave first." The uncle Wang wanted to say something, but the little aunt Li hurriedly stopped her, turned around and left.

"Third brother and sister, why are you holding me back from scolding that scumbag?" Mrs. Wang was not happy.

"Sister-in-law, haven't you noticed that Rui girl fell her head once and became more courageous? How dare you talk to us like this before!"

Mrs. Li felt that the sister-in-law had no brains, and that Su Rui opened her mouth and kept her mouth shut because she was going to starve to death, and if she continued to quarrel, it would be because the people in the Su family's old house ignored it.After all, the second brother and the second younger sibling passed away, and the old house didn't say to bring back the children.

"Hmph, you bastards, you beat your parents to death, what are you so cowardly!" Mrs. Wang shook off Mrs. Li who was holding her hand, and walked towards the old house angrily.

Mrs. Li curled her lips and hurriedly followed.

In the courtyard, Su Rui went into the house to pick up cornmeal, ready to make boiled corn paste.Su Ying moved a small wooden stool and sat down in front of the stove, skillfully lit the fire with a flint.

Everyone drank a bowl of steaming corn mush for dinner, and even Xiao Liu drank half a bowl. He had the strength to kick his legs after eating and drinking enough today.

As night fell, in the ancient times without any entertainment, there was only sleep!

When Su's father was still alive, he slept with Su Chenrui, and Su Rui took his younger sisters to sleep with Xiaoliu.Now that Su's father has passed away, only the siblings sleep on the biggest kang together. One is because Su Chenrui is afraid, and the other is because of the extra bedding at home, the people in the old house of the Su family took it away when Su's father passed away. It's over!

Tired from running all day, I fell asleep shortly after lying down.

Su Rui looked at her sleeping siblings, and whispered, "I want to go in."

Entering the space again, Su Rui picked up the corn seeds, and when she was about to plant, she realized that she didn't have any tools. Su Rui muttered, "It would be great if I could sow the seeds instantly." As soon as the words fell, the corn seeds in her hand were gone.

Su Rui was stunned. It turns out that instant sowing is a password, so what about instant watering and instant harvest?If it is possible, it will be much more convenient in the future!

"Water in an instant" Su Rui shouted loudly, and saw a column of water emerge from the spring, sprinkled on the ground like a shower.

The moment the spring water hit the ground, the corn undergoes amazing changes, from sprouting to straight ankles, knees, and the height of an adult man, to earing, corn ripening, and corn stalks from green to yellow.

Less than 1 minutes before and after.

The "instant harvest" corn was separated from the corn stalk one by one and floated to the cabin!

At the same time as the corn was harvested, the stalks disappeared into the soil!
Su Rui was so excited that she planted rice and wheat again.

Su Rui walked into the wooden house, and saw neat stacks of corn cobs in the corner of the room, and two large unhulled wheat and rice, each about a thousand catties!I finally feel at ease, and I am not afraid that my siblings will starve to death in the year of disaster.

Out of the space, Su Rui rolled her eyes when she saw her sleeping siblings.

Early the next morning, Su Rui took two buckets of spring water while her siblings were still awake, and filled half a bag of corn cobs and wheat with a cloth bag.

"Eldest sister, where did you get the corn on the cob? We didn't buy it yesterday!" Su Ying got up and saw the eldest sister picking corn kernels.

"I got up early and cleaned the cellar and found a secret room, probably hidden by the old Orion. There is still a lot of food in the cellar, enough for us siblings to eat until next autumn."

"By the way, I also put the grain hidden in the mountain in the secret room of the cellar. Don't tell Wan'er, she is still young, so I won't say it out of the way."

Su Rui really found a secret room, but there was nothing in it!I thought of an excuse for the old Orion to hide the food, and put a few hundred catties of food, so that I can save it for future use, so that my younger siblings can eat it with peace of mind.

"This is great, we can have enough food in the future." Su Ying didn't feel that the eldest sister would lie to her at all.

"You don't have to wait, today the eldest sister will let you have a full meal. You help the eldest sister to remove the corn kernels, grind them into flour, and make corn nests to eat today." Seeing the little girl's happy smiling face, Su Rui subconsciously Also laughed.

After a while, Su Chenrui and Su Qiao got up, saw that Corn Cob and Wheat asked the same question, and was explained by Su Rui in the same way.

"Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Sister, this food was discovered by the eldest sister. It must not be discovered by outsiders, nor can it be said. Otherwise, we will lose the food, do you understand?" Su Rui first vaccinated everyone.

"Elder sister, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense. Xiao Wu is still young, so we don't tell her, so as not to be coaxed into saying things that shouldn't be said." Su Chenrui continued.

"Sister, I will watch over Wan'er and not let her run around"

The task of pulling out the corn kernels was handed over to Su Qiao. Su Rui brought Su Chenrui to grind the flour, while Su Ying used a mesh sieve to sift out the coarse ones for cooking porridge. The flour can be steamed or made into pot stickers!

Prepare enough to eat, Su Rui is going to cook.

"Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Sister, please rest for a while, Sister is doing it after dinner"

"Eldest sister, we're not tired, you need to cook better for a while. The second sister and I grind more, so you can work less hard." Su Chenrui's sensibleness makes people feel distressed.

"Third Sister, come and help Eldest Sister light the fire." Su Rui felt sorry for the sensibleness of her siblings, and decided to let them live a good life.Let them have a full meal today.
