Chapter 3 Going to the countryside
There was a tea tree in the middle of the yard. He didn’t know what kind of tea tree it was because the space did not feedback it to him.
Under the tea tree, there is a pool that protrudes about 60 centimeters from the ground. The pool is not big, with a diameter of about 50 centimeters.
This is the spiritual spring in space, which has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening physical fitness.
"I wonder if this spiritual spring has any effect on dad's legs?" Li Jiayi said to himself.
You must know that dad’s leg was injured on the battlefield! Especially when it is windy and rainy, the pain can be unbearable.
On the right side of the small courtyard is a large area of land, but there is not much that can be used. There are only six acres of fields and six acres of vegetable land.
And whether it is a field or a vegetable plot, it is divided into six pieces, that is to say, one piece is one acre.
On the left side of the small courtyard is a fully automated breeding farm that can raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys.
However, not many can be raised. A maximum of 500 chickens and ducks can be raised, and 300 geese can be raised.
The number of pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys is all fifty. Any more will not work. There is no way, the area is just that big.
Beyond the farm is an orchard, but now it is bare and has nothing.
In front of the small courtyard is a fish pond, covering an area of about six acres.
Behind is a mountain. I don’t know how big it is because the visible area is not large.
There is a waterfall, and under the waterfall is a pool. The pool is not full even though the water flows.
The whole space is like this.
The other thing is that the time in space is thirty to one compared to the outside world. In other words, one day outside is thirty days in space.
With a thought, Li Jia appeared on the bed, quickly got up from the bed and ran to the kitchen.
Because there are a few potatoes in the kitchen, and some brown rice, yes, polished rice cannot be grown, but brown rice can.
Polished rice does not have germs, while brown rice all has germs. However, even so, without the protection of rice husk, only six or seven out of ten brown rice grains will germinate.
But Li Jiayi has a spiritual spring! Take a dip in the spiritual spring and there should be no problem.
Get a match from the stove, light the lantern in the kitchen, and carry the lantern to the rice vat.
I opened the rice vat and grabbed a handful. There was nothing I could do. There wasn’t much rice left in the vat. If I grabbed too much, my mother would find out.
Looking at the remaining seven potatoes, Li Jiayi took one, and then pinched a few raw peanuts in a can.
Just as he was about to put out the lantern, he saw the water tank and walked over to take a look. There was still one third of the water in the water tank.
Li Jiayi filled the water tank with Lingquan. Although they had running water in the courtyard, they still used water tanks in the kitchen.
Turn out the lantern, run back to the room, lie on the bed before entering the space.
I got some spiritual spring water to soak the brown rice, and then an idea occurred to me, and a small pit appeared in the field.
Put the brown rice in, and the water in the pool behind will fill the small pit.
Then Li Jia buried a handful of potatoes and a few peanuts in the ground and watered them with water from the pool.
Of course, these are all just a thought, and there is no need for him to do it himself.
After doing this, Li Jiayi did not go out because it was too hot outside. How comfortable the space was! More than 20 degrees.
And there is a bedroom in the courtyard!
When he woke up, it was already six hours later. He hurriedly ran to the puddle where the seedlings were raised. Unexpectedly, the seedlings were already about ten centimeters tall.
This is normal, because I have soaked in the spiritual spring!
A small piece of land was carved out, watered from the pool, and the seedlings planted.
The peanuts have also sprouted and grown more than ten centimeters, but there is no need to move them.
The potatoes sprouted many buds, so they were taken out, cut out a piece of each bud, and planted it again in the ground.
After stretching out and coming out of the space, a wave of heat hit me. You must know that this is morning.
Push the door open and come out of the house, and go directly to the kitchen. Sure enough, my mother Ye Xin is cooking.
"Go and wash up quickly. We have to go to school after dinner." When she saw him, her mother said. "Mom, I finished the exam yesterday and now I have a holiday." Li Jiayi said helplessly.
“Ah! It’s a holiday?”
“Yes! I’ll get my transcripts in three days and wait for school to start.”
“Okay ! ”
Li Jiayi is now in the fifth grade of primary school. Other children basically go to school at the age of eight, but he is six years old, including his two sisters.
My eldest sister is in the first grade of junior high school this year, and will be in the second grade when school starts again.
The second sister is in fourth grade. Although she and Li Jiayi went to school together, Li Jiayi skipped a grade.
At this time, the school was in a five-three-two system, that is, there were five grades in elementary school, three grades in junior high school, and two grades in high school.
If school starts again, Li Jiayi will also go to junior high school. There is no way, because he wants his two sisters and himself to graduate from technical secondary school before 65 years.
"By the way, Mom, isn't this a holiday? I want to go to grandpa's house for a summer vacation."
"Why are you thinking about going to grandpa's house?"
Li Jiayi shrugged and said : "There's nothing to do in the city. I just miss my grandparents."
"Okay, when will we go? I'll ask your dad to see you off."
"No, I'll do it myself. You can go, and I plan to go today.”
My mother asked: "Aren't you going to get your report card today?"
"Just ask my sister to get it for me."
Grandpa Li Jiayi's house is not in the city. But it is in the rural area of Changping County. Not only that, it is also the westernmost part of Changping County.
Fenghuangling in Dianhai District and Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou are still to the west. They can be described as sparsely populated places where birds don’t poop.
"Then tell your dad!" Ye Xin handed over the decision-making power to Li Aimin.
"Okay, I'll tell my dad when we have dinner later."
Breakfast is simple, so it can be made quickly. Rice porridge is very thin and you can count the rice grains. This is what the family has. Opportunities for people to eat fine grains.
Then there is Wo Wotou. Similarly, there is a white flour steamed bun prepared for Li Jiayi.
There is also a plate of pickles. There is no cooking in the morning, only pickles can be eaten.
“Dad, I’m going to grandpa’s house today.”
"I'm going today, I didn't ask for leave!" Li Aimin frowned and said.
"You don't need to send me there, I'll go by myself."
"That won't work, you can't go so far away by yourself." Li Aimin shook his head.
“I’m going by car, not walking. Are you still worried that I’ll be abducted?”
“It’s still more than ten kilometers away after I get off the car! What if I’m abducted? !" Li Aimin said.
"Old Li!!!"
"Okay, okay, go ahead, you brat, you can always do it to Old Li, am I very old?"
"Uh!"
Li Aimin is indeed not old, in fact he is very young, because he is only thirty years old this year.
When he was fourteen years old, he was captured by bald men. He ran away before he got there, and then joined the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing that he was young, the regiment leader made him a guard. In fact, he was taking care of him.
After all, if you become a guard, you will have fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield.
