Chapter 3
Food is in short supply, food is scarce, and the staple foods are only white flour and black flour (both are flour made from wheat, the difference is only the number of peeling times.) sorghum rice, sorghum rice noodles and millet.

It's been half a year since I've been here, and Su Jin hasn't eaten a single meal of white rice.Thinking of a grain of white rice, the mouth water naturally overflows.oops!The gluttons have been lured out.

In her previous life, although she was a true northerner, Su Jin liked to eat rice.Seeing rice seeds here now is more fascinating than seeing gold.

Action is worse than heartbeat, Su Jin took out half of the rice seeds, dragged the shovel and pick to plant rice in the field.

It took a lot of hard work and a [-]-point struggle with the shovel and pick to plant this small piece of rice.

Although his body was already dripping with sweat, but thinking about eating white rice in the future, he lost his composure in excitement, and almost sang a song "Going up to the west building alone, the moon is like a hook."

Calming his little heart that finally calmed down, he looked at the remaining half of the land.

Su Jin walked into the warehouse with cheerful steps, took out some corn seeds and wheat seeds, and planted them separately.

Finally, I picked a few northern fruit and vegetable seeds and planted them on the edge of the space.

After being busy for a long time, looking at the land I have planted so hard, I feel sweet in my heart. Nothing can compare to the joy brought by this labor.

After a long while, he squatted on the ground and checked again and again to see if he missed anything. Then he reluctantly washed his hands and face in the small pond, stepped out of the space, lay down under the quilt, and fell asleep beautifully.

When the first ray of dawn climbed over the window lattice in the early morning, Su Jin woke up from her sleep, her first thought was to slip into the space.

After a night of hard work, one by one, the tiny buds naughtily drilled out of the soil, and a piece of fresh green covered the entire space.

Looking at the seedlings emerging from the ground, one can tell that the time for planting and harvesting in the space is many times earlier than outside.
At this time, in the outside world, the remnant snow has not completely melted, and the earth has not yet woken up during the hibernation period.

And the warm greenness in the space completely captures Su Jin's everlasting pastoral heart.

As soon as she thinks that everything here belongs to her, Su Jin's little heart will speed up involuntarily.

Su Jin, who was intoxicated in joy, might as well have been startled by the loud noise coming from outside.

Oh My God!What is this for?Is there an earthquake?Su Jin quickly left the space, put on her dress and opened the door.

I saw Su Yan standing in front of her room door, "I thought you were dead asleep? You haven't opened the door for so long!"

"What's up?"

"fine!"

"Then why are you kicking the door?"

"I am willing, can you control it?"

Seeing Su Yan who started looking for trouble again, Su Jinnian didn't want to argue with her because of her troubles these days.Pass her and go up to the room.

The front door of the upper room was wide open, Mrs. Li was making breakfast, Su Jin walked over and sat on the small stool in front of the stove to help light the fire.

"Is your sister bluffing again early in the morning?" Shi Li asked Su Jin while steaming steamed buns in a cauldron.

"Ok!"

"Don't pay attention to her, she will stop after she has had enough bluffing in a while!"

"Know!"

Looking at the taciturn little daughter, Mrs. Li babbled again, nothing more than Su Yan has a bad temper, when she loses her temper, stay away from her, don't quarrel with her or anything...

To Su Jin's ears, it was funny. "Tempers are all habitual. I don't know if Su Yan's temper will come to her husband's house in the future. Is there anyone willing to spoil her?"

Hearing Li Shi's nagging, the food was almost done, so Su Hao came to the upper room in a well-dressed manner.

"Mom, what shall we have for breakfast this morning?"

"Steamed buns, millet porridge, and pickled melon seeds."

"Huh? Pickled melon seeds again?"

Seeing his grandson curling his lips and picking up a bowl from the table, Mrs. Chen couldn't help saying: "It's good to eat melon seeds with pickled sauce! It's just the beginning of spring, and there is nothing planted in the field. The winter vegetables stored last year are almost gone. Some people have even made pickled melon seeds a rarity.”

"Oh! Think about it too!" "What are you muttering about? Come on, grandson, sit next to grandpa, let's have dinner!" Grandpa Su looked at his grandson with a smile and greeted him!

"Yeah!" Su Hao smiled and sat next to his grandfather, took a steamed bun and started to chew.

Su Xiucai and Mrs. Chen also came to the table for breakfast one after another. Mrs. Li looked outside and then at Su Jin.

"Jin'er, go and ask your eldest sister to come over for dinner!"

"Yeah!" Su Jin stood up and asked Su Yan to eat.

"Sister, mother wants you to eat!"

"Don't eat, don't bother me."

Su Yan, without even looking at Su Jin, drove her out.

Shaking her head and sighing, Su Jin returned to the upper room listlessly.

"My sister said she doesn't eat!" After Su Jin finished speaking, she sat in her fixed position, broke off half of the steamed buns, and started eating with millet porridge.

Mrs. Li looked at her husband, and shook her head helplessly.

After the family finished their breakfast in silence, Su Xiucai led Su Hao to the school, and Old Man Su also had his hands behind his back, and went to chat with the old fellows.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sat on the big kang in the landlord's house and helped Su Yan prepare the clothes for getting married.

After all, Su Yan's age is at stake, and whether or not she gets married really makes it impossible for the family to go out to meet people.

Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt uncomfortable, thinking of their own beautiful eldest girl, whoever praised her for being good, but marrying a well-known sick child, I thought it was not worth it.

Su Jin couldn't stand it anymore, so she found an excuse and went back to her own room to travel to the space of fugue.

Just when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing how to persuade Su Yan, they heard someone loudly asking at the gate of the courtyard, "Is the scholar lady at home?"

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Li came to the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and asked softly, "I'm at home, who is looking for me?"

The visitor was a middle-aged woman with a long face and a medium height. Her hair was tied up in a bun behind her head with two silver hairpins, and a red silk flower was tied in her ear. Smiling, seeing Li Shi is more intimate than seeing his own sisters.Congratulations, "Miss Xiucai, my family congratulates you. My family belongs to the Wang family in Zhenbei, everyone calls me Mrs. Wang."

Seeing this sister-in-law Wang's attire, Mrs. Li has already guessed that she should be a matchmaker.But I just don't know who she is here for today.

Seeing Mrs. Li's hesitation, Mrs. Wang asked familiarly, "Miss Xiucai, why don't you invite me to sit in for a while?"

Only then did Mrs. Li react, and quickly asked Mrs. Wang to sit in the room.
