Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

"No, you misheard. It's not about going up the mountain to dig them up. We built a thatched shed over there before. The main reason is that we haven't had enough time to plant them, so we planned to build a shed and burn some firewood to make the temperature more even, so we could see if they could grow a little longer. If we hadn't had enough time to dig them up, they would either have no fruit or be too small to eat..." This was a method they had their son see at the town library.

Of course, they had no idea whether this method would even work; they just didn't want to waste it. Anyway, there wasn't much work to be done in the fields, so they built a shed and lit a fire, just like the underfloor heating in their houses.

Those who have the money built glass greenhouses, and they use a fireplace-like system to control the temperature.

Just like they were setting up a kang (heated brick bed), they installed a chimney in the thatched shed. They were just trying it out and didn't know if it would work.

There were some quick-thinking young people in the village, and the idea for the chimney and the like was conceived by them. They explained that it was based on the same principle as the heated brick bed and fire wall in their homes, and this was their first time conducting an experiment.

Of course, everyone hopes for success, so everyone is being extra careful. Today's plan is to hold a meeting to assign tasks, and someone is also watching over things there. Every day, we need to maintain the temperature in the shed and draw water from the pond to place next to the fireplace.

Once the water temperature warms up a bit, it can be used for watering the land.

Xia Yutang was quite surprised by what Aunt Tian said. These people were really quick-witted; they even thought of using a greenhouse. And they even installed fireplaces and chimneys for warmth.

After Aunt Tian left, Xia Yutang tugged at her mother's sleeve: "Let's go water the sweet potatoes with well water, they'll survive."

Although there is a flue, the sweet potatoes are still planted underground, so it will definitely have some impact. The well water in their dredged space can help these sweet potatoes recover and may even help them grow better.

With plenty to eat and drink, wouldn't their mothers no longer need to worry about their families being spoiled too much and becoming coveted by others?

"Go for a walk in the mountains and water the trees. Maybe there will be wild vegetables in the spring." With wild vegetables, they will have more food to eat.

"New ideas are so much better, Little Sugar, your idea is brilliant." The problem that had been troubling her for most of the day was solved with just a few words from her daughter.

Little Tangtang almost spat out the water in her mouth when she heard her mother say that. It's only 1960 now, how does her mother know these internet slang terms? Where did this new brain of hers come from?

Since Liu Fangmei was the only adult in Xia Jixuan's family, she and her several close friends were assigned to go up the mountain on the same day to look after the crops.

Because these things are unknown to outsiders, the village arranges for 5 people to go up the mountain every day, plus the regular staff there, making a total of 10 people looking after the crops.

They're on the mountain. It's not a problem for the brother to call his sister, right? After all, this is their first official meeting. It's not just about exchanging jobs with the people who originally stayed on the mountain, but also about providing a few straw sheds and watering the plants with firewood every day.

Then pull out the weeds that have grown out. There are usually no weeds in winter, but perhaps because the temperature inside the shed is suitable and the ground hasn't frozen, not only are the crops growing normally, but even the weeds are growing normally.

Of course, these weeds weren't just pulled up and thrown away; they were taken directly down the mountain to be eaten by the cattle in the barn. If there were any wild vegetables, those were picked by the workers and put into their own baskets.

In the dead of winter when there are no vegetables, these wild greens can add a touch of green to the home.

After listening to her daughter's words, Liu Fangmei thought that no matter what, since she had the opportunity of this jade space, she should at least help the people in the surrounding villages.

So when she didn't need to go up the mountain to work and earn work points, she took her son and daughter to explore the nearby mountains. Her idea was to leave some life for the trees and wild vegetables while the first snow had just melted.

Of course, she didn't dare to fall too many times. She planned to see how many lives could be saved this time, and then make another trip in the spring.

Because of this trip, he finally realized that the well water in this space was truly inexhaustible.

The water level remained constant at the wellhead, and they usually only needed to scoop it with a ladle. Even after watering so many mountains this time, the water level in the well remained the same, showing no signs of decreasing.

Because the water was inexhaustible, Liu Fang didn't feel any reluctance to spend the little bit. The three of them—mother and her two children—could traverse the surrounding mountains in a month.

However, after they walked through the area, it had already snowed several times. Because the snow covered the ground, the water they poured hadn't even reached the soil, so they stopped watering the area.

Moreover, the snow was so heavy that the mountain roads were difficult to walk on. He had already explored the surrounding mountains, including the mountains where they had previously gone to the seaside. Because of the snow, they did not encounter any wolves.

Perhaps because they had been hiking every day for the past month, all three of them, including the mother and her two children, had lost a lot of weight, even with their excellent nutrition.

The little girl is quite carefree. If it doesn't snow, she'll come out for a stroll and have some fun. But if it snows, she'll have to stay in her secluded space and do whatever she wants.

For some reason, ever since their mother started watering the trees on the mountain, a golden sign appeared in the jade space. It had a faint golden glow on it, and a little more water was added every day until the watering activity stopped.

Xia Yutang guessed that this must be a monument to merit, because people water the trees on the mountain every day, and some people might survive because of these trees that will come back to life in the spring or the wild vegetables around them. That would be their merit.

Another possibility is that the survival rate of these trees has increased, which could be considered a good deed.

We need to remember this for now, and then observe this merit monument again after spring arrives to see if the gold color on the monument will become more intense if people from the surrounding villages go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.

Just as she was secretly making a note of it, and was about to examine the merit tablet more closely in the spring, a sudden burst of bright light shone so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.

He didn't know how long he waited, but after the outside light became less glaring, he rubbed his eyes and opened them. When he looked at the merit cup again, he found that the golden light on it was much brighter than before.

This must be because his parents and brother did some great good deeds, otherwise it would be impossible for so much to appear all at once. After all, the four of them had walked all over the nearby mountains for a month and only managed to get such a thin layer.

With so many coming at once, she'll have to ask her mother and brother when they get back, to see if she can glean any patterns from them.
