Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Chapter 35 Farming Still Offers a Better Future

Zhang Xixi carefully scrolled to the page for protective shoes, but it showed that there were only 98 pairs left in stock. She then looked at the other daily necessities, and the toiletries kit showed that there were only 106 sets left in stock.

"System, what's going on? Why are the items in the store still showing as in stock? Shouldn't they be available for unlimited purchases?"

"Host, you've finally figured it out. Apart from food and planting-related items, there are only 108 of everything else. Once you buy them all, there won't be any left!"

"Won't you restock the stock?"

"There's nothing we can do. The system has broken away from its original timeline and spacetime, making it impossible to contact the higher-ups and replenish it!"

What's the point of earning so much luck points? I might as well just farm and earn money!

System: This system has already reminded the host that the main task is farming!

Zhang Xixi was furious. Damn it, this system is such a rip-off! It even has purchase limits! She was thinking of using it for a lifetime!

Wait, pills are also considered food. Zhang Xixi scrolled to the luxury goods page, and sure enough, it showed how little stock was left. It seems we really need to be frugal, otherwise we'll be in real trouble when we run out!

Zhang Xixi touched her forehead and sighed deeply!

“Host, you can actually learn pharmacology and pharmaceutical manufacturing on your own.”

Ha ha!

Zhang Xixi shook her head helplessly. Was she cut out for medicine?

She had absolutely no interest in those dry medical facts, let alone studying them; she'd rather earn money to support a highly skilled doctor.

Zhang Xixi thought about it carefully. Although the medicines were subject to purchase restrictions, some of the pills had lifelong effects, so there was no need to worry. As for the daily necessities, there was even less to worry about; she could just pay someone to make them when she ran out.

To add more variety to our meals, let's go grow some vegetables!

Zhang Xixi called the two treasures and went to a flat area not far from the camp. They started to prepare to clear the land and asked Zhou Yujie to get some rotten leaves from under the trees to fertilize the field.

"Mom, are you going to farm? But there's no water, and we don't live here all the time. Who will harvest the crops?" Erbao asked疑惑地.

“Of course we’ll harvest them. We’ll plant them today and harvest them in a few days.” Zhang Xixi poured plant growth solution into a wooden basin and then soaked the cabbage seeds and garlic in it.

"Mom, you're sick. Are you delirious with fever again like last time?"

Seeing her two children looking at her with concern, Zhang Xixi smiled and said, "Mommy isn't sick. Mommy just has a special method to make the vegetables grow in a few days. Trust Mommy!"

The two children exchanged a glance. Seeing that their mother didn't seem about to faint, they figured she was probably alright. They decided to let her do as she pleased and comfort her later if the vegetables didn't grow.

"Okay!"

After the two children finished talking, they squatted down and picked up the small stones on the ground and threw them aside. Zhang Xixi then started digging on the ground. The power of the six blood vine fruits was truly remarkable. In no time, she had cleared a large area of ​​land.

Zhou Yujie quickly gathered a large pile of rotten leaves. "Sister-in-law, is this enough?"

"That's enough, Yujie. Go and fetch a few more buckets of water, and have Xiaojin and the others go with you!"

"Okay, sister-in-law!"

Zhang Xixi looked around and saw that all the stones on the ground nearby had been picked up. Her two darlings were really awesome!

"Da Bao, Er Bao, you two go back and rest for a bit. While you're at it, ask your second uncle to come and help your mother out. Remember to have him bring a knife."

After Da Bao and Er Bao nodded in agreement, they headed towards their encampment.

Zhang Xixi scattered the rotten leaves on the reclaimed wasteland, then pressed the garlic cloves into the soil one by one, and evenly scattered the cabbage seeds on the other side of the soil.

"Ding! Farming mission activated, reward 1000 luck points!"

"Ding! 20 square meters of land cleared and planted, reward 1000 luck points!"

Although the familiar voice no longer attracted Zhang Xixi's attention, she still needed to learn more about the farming task.

"System, is there a luck value for planting, and also a luck value for harvesting?"

"Of course! The amount of luck points you receive will determine the number of kilograms you harvest!"

Zhang Xixi said happily, "Great! I really like this mission!"

A short while later, Zhang Wenhong and Zhou Yujie arrived. The two of them carried eight buckets of water, and Zhang Xixi mixed all the nutrient solution with the water and poured it on the ground.

"Little sister, is there anything else you need?"

"Second brother, won't you object to me growing vegetables here? Many people in the village say I'm crazy."

Zhang Wenhong looked at Zhang Xixi seriously and said, "Because you are my own sister, I will support whatever you want to do!"

These words moved Zhang Xixi to tears. "Brother, you're so kind!"

Zhang Wenhong scratched his head and chuckled.

"Brother, don't worry, you'll be able to eat stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts in a few days!"

Zhang Xixi and her two companions cut some tree branches and fenced off the land to prevent anyone from accidentally stepping on the seeds or to prevent livestock from damaging them.

After returning home, Chen and Zhang Dacheng asked Zhang Xixi about growing vegetables. Although they didn't object, they didn't have high hopes either. They just thought that there was nothing else to do here, so let their daughter dabble in it if she wanted to.

"Dad, could you please fill a few more vegetable baskets? I need to pack vegetables in a few days."

Zhang Wencheng paused for a moment before saying, "Okay!"

Zhou retorted sarcastically, "To think you can grow vegetables in just a few days just because you have a divine master is truly wishful thinking!"

Zhang Xixi said calmly, "Whether or not vegetables can be grown, and whether it's just wishful thinking, we'll know in a few days!"

"Second sister-in-law, you'd better mind your own business!"

Zhou snorted, "Do I need you to lecture me?" Chen said, "What are you doing, making a mess of the house every day?"

"You're all so biased. It's true what they say, you can't compare to someone who isn't your own flesh and blood." After saying this, Zhou slammed the bowl down on the table and left!

Chen was so angry she couldn't speak. Zhang Dacheng quickly comforted her, then turned to Zhang Wenhong and said sternly, "Second son, keep a close eye on your wife. If she can't stand staying here, she can go back to her parents' home."

"Okay, Dad, I'm so sorry to have troubled everyone!" Zhang Wenhong left the dinner table with a guilty look on his face and caught up with Zhou Shi.

Zhang Dacheng then looked at Zhang Xixi and said gently, "Daughter, don't talk to your sister-in-law like that in the future. After all, she is your second sister-in-law."

"Yes, Dad!" Zhang Xixi replied obediently.

After a moment, Madam Chen sighed, "This Madam Zhou wasn't like this before, how did she become like this now!"

Madam Chen comforted her, "Mother, your sister-in-law is probably pregnant, that's why she's like this. She'll be fine after she gives birth!"

"hope so!"

"Mom, don't worry. I'll avoid my second sister-in-law from now on. Let her say whatever she wants, I'll just ignore her." Zhang Xixi also felt that she shouldn't argue with a pregnant woman, and that she should keep her mouth shut in the future.
