After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, those who were supposed to leave had left, leaving only Xiao Nan and Granny Wang at home.

The two locked the gate and, one in front of the other, carefully toured the house, chatting as they walked.

“Girl, this house finally feels like a home after you’ve done it. I feel so relieved.”

"When you're in a good mood, you can enjoy any food."

"Yes, I'm so happy I want to sing a song."

"Then let's sing a song."

"No, haha."

The main house has three rooms: one bedroom where the old lady lived, one room that served as both a living room and a dining room, and a storage room next to it.

There are two rooms on the east and west sides. Xiao Nan lives in the east room, and she needs to use the other room, so it's empty for now.

There are two rooms on the west side: one is the kitchen, and the other is the room where she and her grandmother wash up.

With this arrangement, there really aren't many rooms left.

The furniture was all new, and everything she could need was there; her and her grandmother's bedroom was fully equipped.

The yard was clean and free of clutter, and everything was flat and tidy. The open space in the backyard was divided into several plots with wood.

Neatly arranged, all the vegetables that used to be green have been cleaned up.

"Girl, what are you planning to do with these plots of land?" the old woman asked, pointing to the divided plots.

"I bought seeds for garlic, chives, and other things today."

"This backyard is only four-tenths of an acre, it's too small. If there were any open space, we could plant half an acre of cabbage and radishes, so we wouldn't have to buy them in winter."

Xiao Nan smiled mysteriously, pointed to the back door, and said, "Grandma, do you know why I opened a door here?"

Granny Wang shook her head, and Xiao Nan continued, "Grandma, there's wasteland behind here. I'm planning to plant some vegetables or something there. Anyway, no one will plant them or come here, so we can plant them secretly."

"Huh? That's not a good idea."

"If there's anything wrong with it, just listen to me."

Actually, the plot of land next to it is the one Xiao Nan bought. Farming is only temporary. After the space is activated, she plans to buy all the wasteland and become a landlord.

Since she's supposed to farm, then she can become a landlord.

However, given her current physical condition, one acre of land is about the limit, since it requires her to do everything herself.

I really want to curse!

I don't know how the original owner managed to persevere for those three years. The Zhang family made her weed ten acres of land, and she had to do it every day, even though she was a glutton!

When it was time for bed, the old woman looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Xiao Nan knew that she used to be afraid of being alone, but now that she had someone to keep her company, she wanted him to sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with her.

So he said, “Grandma, if you need anything, just call me. Don’t be afraid. This family is no longer just you. Now we have me, and later we’ll have a son-in-law, and then a child. We’ll also raise some chickens. You can feed the chickens and once they lay eggs, we won’t be able to buy them.”

As the old woman listened to her, tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly wiped them away and said...

"Girl, you're really good at comforting people. You've made Grandma feel so energetic."

"Then go to sleep. I laid out a new mat. By the way, in a few years, I'll buy some cloth and cotton. You can make winter quilts when you're free. I'll plant the seeds these next few days and level the wasteland behind the house. I'll plant cabbages and radishes as you suggested."

“Girl, Grandma will listen to you. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”

"Then go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow!"

"great, see you tomorrow!"

The old woman returned, turned around and locked the door, only to see that Xiao Nan hadn't left and was looking at her.

Her eyes welled up with tears again. She gently locked the door, sat down by the pit, touched the new pit mat, and wiped away her tears.

I sigh. This girl is her lucky star, and also her reward—a reward for her kind heart. I should do more good deeds in the future and listen to this girl's advice.

In just a short time, she no longer had to live in a drafty house or drink hard-to-swallow mixed grain porridge.

Thank you, thank you God!

That night, the old woman was restless and didn't fall asleep until late. Xiao Nan locked the door. Now that Xiao Heihei was here, she no longer had to sleep 70% and wake up 30% of the time, and could finally get a good night's sleep.

As soon as it was light, Xiao Nan and Granny Wang opened the door at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Nan gave her the green salt for brushing her teeth: "Grandma, use a willow twig dipped in this salt to brush your teeth. It will make your teeth whiter and you won't have toothaches anymore."

The old woman took it, gently opened it, and saw white with specks of blue and a faint fragrance. She asked, "Is this green salt?"

"Yes, the kind that rich people use. If your teeth are yellow, they will fall out as you get older, and some teeth will get cavities. Brush them once in the morning and once at night, and your teeth will stay white and you won't lose teeth until you are seventy or eighty."

Grandma Wang grinned and said, "I've seen rich people's teeth before, and I've always envied them. I never dreamed that one day I would be able to use one of these."

“I have one too, let’s swipe it together.”

"Okay! Let's do it together."

Xiao Nan brushed her teeth and went to the kitchen. Even though it was just the two of them, she didn't want to make do.

I took out a small piece of beef shank from my spatial storage, cut it into a small plate, fried a few salt and pepper eggs, and made two bowls of soy milk with sugar added.

They lived a secluded life, and the old woman listened to her without questioning or interfering. As long as it wasn't out of line, she was willing to share it with the old woman.

The old woman brought her the medicine, which she drank in one gulp before setting the meal on the new table in the yard.

The old woman looked at the bowl of white soup and asked, "What is this?"

"Soy milk is just a soup made by grinding soybeans and boiling them. It's just the two of us, so it's not worth using a stone mill."

"Oh, the soybeans used to make tofu?"

"Yes, it's delicious. It's a pity that the tofu makers don't know this. They either throw it away or feed it to the pigs. You should try it."

Granny Wang picked up the bowl, took a small sip, and exclaimed with delight, "It's sweet, so delicious! Did they add sugar to it?"

"Yes, I put the sugar in the kitchen cabinet. You can take it whenever you want."

"Sugar is so expensive, even more expensive than salt."

"Don't worry, with me here, we can afford it. Once we've planted all the vegetables, I'll go to the mountains."

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang turned pale with fright and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, the mountains are too dangerous. I can't let you go."

Xiao Nan knew she was worried about him, so he said, "Grandma, I'm not going deep into the mountains. I'll just stay on the edge. Although I've forgotten what happened before, I remember that I recognize herbs. And herbs aren't necessarily found deep in the mountains; they can be found on the outskirts too. Besides, I can climb trees, so there won't be any danger."

“That won’t do either. Grandma wouldn’t interfere with other things, but not this one.”

"You don't believe me?"

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand: "No, you are so thin that you would fall over if a gust of wind blew you away. You sweat profusely after doing a little work. You are too weak. I can't let you go."

Xiao Nan looked into her eyes and said, "Grandma, I don't want to lie to you, so I'm telling you the truth. I said I'd go because I have the strength and ability to avoid danger, and I'm very careful with my life. I won't let anything happen to me."

"Let's get better first before worrying about this."

"Grandma, walking is also a way to exercise your body. Besides, there are many mountain products in the mountains, not just medicinal herbs. I want to make sure we live a good life."

"Girl, you!" The old woman choked up.

Xiao Nan placed his hand in hers: "Grandma, don't worry, I'll definitely be fine."

"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, Grandma won't stop you."

"Let's eat. There's meat today."

The old woman had never eaten beef before, so she naturally didn't know what kind of meat it was. She didn't ask, and she ate whatever was given to her. She now trusted Xiao Nan a lot and was even somewhat dependent on him.

Each person had a bowl of soy milk, two eggs, and finished the beef.

The old woman took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Xiao Nan went to the backyard, strolling around the wall and pondering.

When she has free time, she reads books about planting in her online space.

Since she wanted to grow vegetables, she first looked at vegetables that were related to her daily life, so she studied four kinds: scallions, ginger, garlic, and chives.

After she had finished eating, she began to plant the seeds in the turned soil and then watered them.

After that, he opened the backyard and stood on his own acre of land.
