Time Travel: Conditional Wealth
Chapter 26 Planting Strawberries
After teaching and solving the problem, He Xi fell asleep directly on the warm kang.
After an unknown amount of time, He Xi's head was gently pushed. She was disturbed in her sleep, frowned impatiently, and moved a little closer to the warmth.
Lu Jinan was lying on the kang with his head half supported by one hand, teasing He Xi. He didn't expect that He Xi would move towards him, and his warm breath fell on his ears, almost touching them.
The original intention was to wake He Xi up. He couldn’t sleep any more. Otherwise, what would he do at night? Just stare blankly?
As a result, Lu Jinan just let himself fall asleep next to He Xi.
After a long time, He Xi heard a slight breathing sound beside her ear and opened her eyes hazily. What she saw was Lu Jinan's handsome face with a hint of sadness between his brows.
After a brief appreciation, He Xi sat up and looked out the window. It was dark outside.
"Are you awake?" Lu Jinan's voice revealed laziness.
"Well, it's dark." He Xi then realized that his voice was a little hoarse and his throat was very dry.
Lu Jinan's brows furrowed unconsciously, and he got up from the kang in one go. When he came back, he held a cup of warm water in his hand: "Moisten your throat, idiot."
Lu Jinan sat on the kang and watched He Xi drink water. He Xi gritted his teeth and looked down at him: "Go find whoever is smart."
Lu Jinan glanced at He Xi, and his breath suddenly turned cold: "What did you say?"
He Xi came out to help with the cooking. He Fei secretly observed her expression and saw that she was normal. She wondered why they didn't blush or feel excited when they were lying on the same kang. This shouldn't be the case. Isn't Lu Jin'an attractive?
"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Lu Jinan asked in a low voice.
He Xi knew that he was trying to ease the relationship between them, but she was not wrong.
"I don't know. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Are you still running in the evening?"
"Run, if you don't run you won't have a seductive figure."
He Xi hesitated and looked back at him: "Who are you trying to seduce?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Show it to some pig."
Pigs? He's raising pigs again?
While running to warm up, He Xi signed in and was given thirty strawberry seedlings, ten Dandong Jiujiu, ten pink jades, and ten black pearls.
How could He Xi be happy about this? Ten? Not enough scale, how can I earn my own life-saving money? Oh, forget it, I'd better plant it in the greenhouse.
The snow on the road has been basically cleared away. When running, there is a slight sound of stepping on the snow, which gives people goose bumps.
The temperature on the road didn’t feel that cold, but the hot air that was constantly exhaled still reminded people that the time had come and it was time to rest.
Unlike the south where grain is grown twice a year or three times in two years, the winter here lasts seven to eight months and the temperature in summer is not too high.
In the long and cold winter, solving the livelihood problem is the top priority. He Xi's proposal is actually ill-considered. How to transport goods when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow?
After coming back from running, He Xi went back into the house, picked up the strawberry seedlings and ran straight to the greenhouse. He vaguely saw some light inside.
He's father and mother muttered in the greenhouse: "What kind of vegetables should we grow in such a large place?"
"What do you want to eat in the summer? Just plant what you want now. Have you never planted a field before?"
"Who hasn't farmed before? I mean, if you farm something different, how much money can you make if they're all the same?"
Mother He looked up at her husband who was sitting on the handle of the pickaxe and said, "Are you worried? When they came to study before, they were so happy and enthusiastic. Are you worried now?"
He's father lowered his head and said nothing. It was the first time he was admired by someone, and he was so happy that he forgot to keep it to himself. What should he do next? He was filled with worry.
He Xi didn't think too much about it. After coming in and seeing that her parents were there, her expression relaxed a lot: "Mom and Dad, you're all here. Come on, let's plant the strawberries together."
Hearing the voice, Father He stood up and asked, "Where did you come from?"
He Xi: "I researched it myself. I planted it in a secret base before. Let's try it out at home first."
He's mother looked at the flowers on the seedlings with heartache in her eyes. Other children were lucky enough to go to school well, but her own child was only thinking about how to make money to support the family: "Xi, your good child." She raised her hand and touched He Xi's head.
The sudden sensationalism made He Xi confused: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mother He held back her tears and looked at He Xi with a forced smile: "Nothing, I just feel that you have all grown up."
He Xi was wrong. She thought she was afraid of her aging face and was thinking about developing anti-aging cosmetics.
"Three bunches of the same strawberries?" Father He found that there were minor differences in the seedlings.
"They're different." He Xi's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she carefully explained the differences between the three strawberry seedlings.
"It's just too little." He's father found a way to make money, but unfortunately the road was too narrow.
He Xi smiled and comforted He's father, saying that it was a lot of money, as one fruit was as big as an egg, and things were rare and valuable, so the money would be quite a lot. Besides, strawberries could be propagated by pressing seedlings, and next year it might develop into a separate strawberry greenhouse.
He's father suddenly opened his eyes wide and urged the mother and daughter to either work faster or get out of the way, as they were blocking his way. He left the place where he had just rested, holding the seedling in one hand and the pickaxe in the other.
He's mother looked at his childish behavior, with a hint of intoxicated happiness in her pupils.
He's father gave the best location in the entire greenhouse to the strawberry seedlings. The last time he took such careful care of a treasure was when He Xi was just born.
Under the questioning of He's father, He Xi suggested that he could cover the ground with film, so that the strawberries would be clean. He's father felt distressed for a moment, but finally agreed.
The spacing between strawberries is usually between fifteen and twenty centimeters, with row spacing between twenty to twenty-five centimeters.
The most important thing is to have high ridges to facilitate vertical growth of the fruit.
He Xi shouldn't have said too much. He said that the fruits would be ripe in just twenty days, and He's father was determined to watch them grow with three meals a day.
After He Xi and the others finished their work, it was already completely dark. He Xi stretched her body and prepared to go back to wash up and go to bed. At this time, the corner of her clothes was pulled by Lu Jinan.
"What's wrong?" He Xi looked at him and asked.
"Nothing, I just want to sit for a while." The gradually darkening greenhouse made Lu Jinan's voice extremely energetic.
He Xi looked at the dark night sky outside and hesitated. But in the end, she accepted Lu Jinan's invitation.
The two continued to sit in the greenhouse and chat. The moist air hit them and made them feel warm. They talked a lot about the future and dreams. He Xi discovered that Lu Jinan was not as calm as he seemed. He also had fears about the future.
While chatting, Lu Jinan suddenly stopped, looked at He Xi and said, "He Xi, I want to keep chatting like this."
She looked at Lu Jinan with a surprised expression on her face. However, deep in her heart, an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart.
"I...I want to go back to sleep." He Xi responded to him.
Lu Jinan smiled, he gently touched He Xi's head and said, "I know you understand."
