Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

If Su Daqiang had said this before, Tian Xiaohua definitely wouldn't have done it, but since coming back, she's really been too scared.

Su Daqiang complained that he was envious of being officially employed. If not, their family wouldn't be living at the foot of the mountain, and the big house wouldn't have been sold.

But he agreed to it too. How can it all be his fault?

Although unwilling, she still got up to find vegetable seeds. The family still had some. Not only Su Daqiang thought they should plant with nothing holding them back, but even she, being so lazy, thought the same.

After all, she was truly scared of starving. That feeling of being worse than dead was too unbearable.

The couple in Yang Hongwen's family lay on their heated bed, also listening to the rain outside.

"Husband, let's plant grain on our private plot as well."

Yang Hongwen didn't say anything. Theoretically, this private plot was for growing vegetables for the family. But things had reached this point. Even if they planted grain, no one would care.

"I don't care, I want to plant grain. I heard from Chunhua that over by Yuanyuan's place, it freezes by October. What would she have to plant? Let's plant more, and then we can send some over to her."

Yang Hongwen agreed with a hum, showing his approval.

The fact that our family could be this way, we have to thank that girl.

My initial thought was really right, that girl had divine protection.

Now it's better, finally got through it. It's also time to take care of that girl a bit.

Sigh, it's just too far away. Wanting to take care of her is a well-meaning dream without power.

The Zhao Tian's house had just the couple, sighing all day long. There were only two left of them in the house, living day by day in silence.

After this grain distribution, Zhao Tian never blindly followed his elder brother anymore.

Thinking back now, he really wronged his children, no wonder they were angry and left.

This drought affected the whole country. I wonder how the children are doing outside?

Su Yuanyuan looked at the rain outside, thinking that once it started raining, it wouldn't stop.

This rain needed two more days perhaps, this wasn't loam, nor semi-sandy land, this was the black soil; it was very sticky.

However, this wasn't something to rush. She found the vegetable seeds, the cabbage seeds were not enough. Even adding the radish seeds, it still wasn't enough.

Suddenly, Su Yuanyuan thought, would pickled vegetables sell well then?

Concomitantly disheartened, this wasn't the future, every family knew how to make pickled vegetables.

Forget it, plant whatever there is, but reserve fifty acres for wheat.

"Alright, don't worry about it, isn't going with the flow better? Don't force anything."

Su Yuanyuan understood Tan Shaoting's point. She was too competitive.

She comforted herself, calming her mindset down.

She thought of and dug out cucumber seeds, ready to sprout them. Also tomatoes, eggplants, beans. Harvest as much as possible.

She directly soaked them with Spiritual Spring Water. Then planted them in the open space of the space. Previously, they hadn't been planted because there were some plants she didn't recognize, so she left it alone. This time, she planted some in the corners. It shouldn't be too problematic, shouldn't have any effect. There were quite a few, estimated to plant a lot.

The weather was nice and cool tonight. So Su Yuanyuan was going to sleep, doing nothing.

The rain stopped at midnight. This time, it really rained thoroughly.

In the morning, she saw Tan Shaoting tidying up in the courtyard.

"Can we work the fields yet?"

Tan Shaoting shook his head, "No, the earliest would be tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright then, just wait."

Because their land took up more than half, so there wasn't much planted. There was still fifty acres reserved for planting wheat.

"Wouldn't fifty acres be too much? We only have three hundred pounds of wheat seeds."

Su Yuanyuan thought about it, in the village before, it was six pounds of wheat seeds for an acre. These three hundred pounds of wheat seeds were for planting fifty acres.

Afraid it would freeze over the winter. So she thought of trying eight pounds per acre instead.

"Then let's leave thirty acres."

"Have you decided when to plant them?"

"I want to plant them by the end of August. I remember it was said that if the wheat seedlings grew too big, they'd freeze easier. Too small wouldn't work either. Just give it a try."

In this aspect, Tan Shaoting felt Su Yuanyuan was much stronger than him. Following her wisdom should be right.

The next day, after lunchtime, the two went outside to test it out, it was entirely feasible.

So both donkeys were used for plowing. The land turned out to be a bit wet, so no rush to plant densely.

While the donkey was drinking water, Su Yuanyuan soaked the cabbage seeds with Spiritual Spring Water. By three in the afternoon, the two started planting. Because there was a lot of land, they planted sparsely. This allows for more planting, so later there wouldn't be any need to thin out the seedlings.

The two worked diligently until eight in the evening, They managed six or seven acres this afternoon.

Tomorrow, there wouldn't be any more cabbage seeds after planting another day.

Radishes followed, planted even sparser. In this way, radishes could grow bigger.

It took five days to plant all the vegetable seeds. This left the eggplants and cucumbers needing to be transplanted.

The seedlings in the space grew very well; the remaining land was full. There were still a hundred cucumber seedlings and dozens of eggplant seedlings left.

"I'm going to take some over to the Zhao Family siblings."

"Go ahead. I'll go check our field and see if the weeds are too many. We still need to clear them this year."

When Su Yuanyuan arrived at the Zhao Family, she found the five siblings planting vegetables.

"Yuanyuan, did you finish planting your fields?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, we don't have much planted. We don't have that much land anymore. We still have to leave thirty acres for winter wheat planting.

Here are cucumber seedlings, dozens of them, and dozens of eggplant seedlings as well. You all plant them."

The Zhao Family siblings had a hundred and fifty acres and not nearly enough vegetable seeds to cover so much land.

Along the way, everyone was working in the fields, whether planting something that might not sell, it could still be eaten at home.

In recent years, having vegetables was a rare occurrence for everyone.

If grains were scarce, at least vegetables could supplement meals.

Su Yuanyuan drove away and didn't go back home, she went straight to the field instead.

Tan Shaoting had already done a lot; it was just the early afternoon, she joined in working with him.

"We're kind of free, why don't we plow the land then?"

"Do you want to plant wheat here?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Wouldn't work here, right? It's virgin land, and the second half rains a lot, we turn the soil now, come next spring it'll be better, right?"

"Makes sense; this way, we won't need to clear the grass either."

The two returned home to get the plowing tools. This place wasn't close to where they stayed.

Now there was no rush, so the two took their time.

After a week, the vegetables sprouted in the field. Grasses also grew, so the two went to clear them. Now the weeds were small, both squatted with small hoes; it was quite tiring.

"Yuanyuan, you don't need to, I can do it myself."
