Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

When she arrived at the scrap recycling station, Liu Jingxue saw a tractor parked there and some people were moving things from the scrap station onto the tractor.

Seeing Liu Jingxue coming over, someone asked her, "Comrade, what are you doing here?"

"I want to buy some waste newspapers and go back to paste them on the walls and windows," Liu Jingxue replied.

"Comrade, the scrap yard is moving scrap today. It's a mess inside, so outsiders are not allowed in."

He pointed to a pile of newspapers in the corner and said, "There are newspapers over there, just take some and go."

Don't delay our work here."

Liu Jingxue had originally planned to find treasures at the scrap yard, but seeing the current situation, she had no way of getting in.

She didn't dare stay here for too long, lest people would suspect her purpose.

After thanking the man, she did as he asked, ran to get some newspapers, and left.

Although she turned and left, she was sensitive enough to feel that someone's eyes were always on her.

Liu Jingxue murmured in her heart, why are the people in this scrap collection station so weird?

But she was in a hurry to go home, so she didn't stop. She quickly left the area, found an empty corner, and slipped into the space.

Liu Jingxue took out the daily necessities including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, chopsticks, kitchen knives, spatulas, matches, thermos, etc. that she was going to take home this time.

She prepared two copies of these things, keeping one for herself and sending the other to the cowshed.

She put the things into the backpack, and when it was full, she carried the basket and left the town.

After she was some distance away from the town, she let out her bicycle and rode home.

When she was some distance away from the village, she stopped, put her bicycle into the space, and walked into the village carrying the backpack.

The village was still quiet and everyone was working in the fields.

Those children who are not old enough to go to the fields are probably also on the dam drying crops, being supervised by adults.

Liu Jingxue returned home carrying her things.

After putting down the things, she installed the big iron pot. In order to make it fit tightly, she even put a circle of mud around the edge of the pot.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Jingxue picked up a hoe and went to hoe the vegetable garden.

With Tuanzi's guidance, although she had no experience in farming, she did the job quite well.

She was very strong and hoeing the ground was not difficult for her. After about two hours of work, she had cultivated the vegetable garden in the backyard.

After finishing her work, she went into the space to take a shower, have a late lunch, and then rested in the space, waiting for the captain's youngest daughter to come.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jingxue, who was resting in the space, was reminded by Tuanzi that someone was knocking on the door outside, so she left the space and went to answer the door.

After opening the door, I saw a girl standing outside with two big braids and wearing coarse cloth clothes with a rustic flavor. The girl was also carrying a basket with a lot of vegetables in it.

Liu Jingxue spoke first, "I guess you are the little daughter Guiying that Aunt Sufen mentioned."

The girl replied, "Liu Zhiqing guessed correctly. I am Zhang Guiying."

Liu Jingxue wondered whether she should call the other sister or younger sister, so she asked, "I am 16 years old this year. I wonder how old you are this year."

Zhang Guiying replied, "I'm almost 18."

"Then I will call you Sister Guiying from now on, and you can just call me Xiaoxue.

Sister Guiying, please come in quickly.

Please come over today and teach me how to grow vegetables."

Zhang Guiying smiled and said, "Okay, then I will call you Xiaoxue from now on."

Liu Jingxue welcomed Zhang Guiying into the yard and closed the door.

“Xiaoxue, where should we put these dishes?

My mother asked me to bring these dishes.

Eat these first, and when you are done, tell me and I will bring them to you."

Liu Jingxue quickly said, "Thank you, Sister Guiying. Just put the dishes in the kitchen."

They went into the kitchen together, and Liu Jingxue helped her put down the backpack.

After taking out the bowls containing the vegetable seeds, pour the vegetables on the ground.

Looking at the rapeseeds, Liu Jingxue asked, "Sister Guiying, are these going to be planted today?"

Zhang Guiying took out a few more paper bags from her trouser pocket and replied, "It's almost October now, time is tight, and all the vegetables need to be planted today.

Just want to know if you have cultivated your vegetable garden yet? If not, I can help you."

Liu Jingxue said quickly, "It has been reclaimed, but I don't know if it meets the requirements."

Liu Jingxue led Zhang Guiying from the back door of the kitchen to the vegetable garden.

Looking at the cultivated vegetable field, Zhang Guiying praised, "My mother said you have never farmed before, but I don't believe it at all.

Judging from the vegetable fields you have cultivated, you are obviously a veteran from various places for many years. "

Liu Jingxue quickly denied it, "Aunt Sufen is right, I have never farmed before.

However, buying vegetables every day in our city is also a considerable expense, so those who can afford it will open two ridges of land in their own yard and plant some vegetables such as onions and garlic.

I saw the land in other people's yards and knew a little about how to cultivate it.

As for the rest, I was completely blinded and didn’t know anything about it.”

Zhang Guiying smiled and said, "Now that the land has been prepared, the next things will be much easier."

Under the guidance of Zhang Guiying, the two spent almost an hour sowing the rapeseed, leek roots, etc. that Zhang Guiying brought.

After finishing, Liu Jingxue, who needed to water the plants, also watered them.

Zhang Guiying then gave some guidance on how to maintain it later.

"The vegetables have been planted. Next, Xiaoxue, come with me to look for Uncle Liu.

Mother said that you should ask him to help you bring back water jars and pickle jars from town."

Liu Jingxue nodded and said, "That's true.

Are we going to look for him in the field?"

Zhang Guiying shook her head and said, "No, Uncle Liu has some difficulty walking, so he doesn't have to work in the fields. He is responsible for feeding the cows and driving the ox cart.

At this time, the cows are working in the fields, and he should be helping out in the sunbathing area."

Liu Jingxue followed Zhang Guiying to the drying dam.

Seeing Zhang Guiying coming, the old man who was helping at the dam drying site hurriedly greeted her.

"Guiying, didn't your mother ask you to stay at home and take care of your white skin? Why did you go out?"

"Third Grandma, it was my mother who asked me to bring Xiaoxue to see Uncle Liu."

Liu Jingxue had seen these people yesterday when she came to look for someone to lead the way. She had some impression of them and hurried forward to greet them.

An old man smoking nearby interrupted, "Why did you bring her to see me?"

Zhang Guiying quickly introduced Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, this is Uncle Liu."

Liu Jingxue hurried forward and said, "Uncle Liu, I would like to ask you for a favor. Please bring me a large water jar and two large and two small jars of pickled cabbage from the town."

Uncle Liu nodded and said, "That's no problem, it just takes some time.

These days, Niu Niu has to work in the fields and cannot go to town."

Liu Jingxue said hurriedly, "I know about this. Aunt Sufen told me that it would be fine to bring it back in a few days.

Uncle Liu, I will give you the money today. How much do you think I should give you?"

Uncle Liu calculated and said, "Just give me five dollars and fifty cents."

The price is the same as what Aunt Sufen said.

Liu Jingxue hurriedly took out change from her bag, counted out five dollars and fifty cents and handed it to Uncle Liu.

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Liu."
