“Master, you see too much. This is not good. She doesn’t look like an eighteen-year-old girl at all.”

"People who have experienced the apocalypse no longer have the heart of a young girl. I just want to experience the process of getting married and having children, even if something unexpected happens along the way, it doesn't matter."

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible to live a peaceful life. Even in a small mountain village like this, people fight to the death. What about after you get married and have children?"

"We'll see. I firmly believe that as long as I am strong, I can live any kind of life I want."

"Yes, yes, strength determines everything."

Longlong's voice trembled slightly as he finally managed to guide his master onto the right path.

Xiao Nan remembered something and asked, "Longlong, what you told me about the space upgrade last time was a bit vague. I'd like to ask you again."

"Please speak, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"Who taught you to say that?"

"Waiter."

Xiao Nan glanced at it: "You're saying that I can level up my space by farming, as long as the crops in the field mature?"

"I'm not entirely sure either. There are many conditions for upgrading the space, so we'll have to figure it out as we go."

"You are its spirit, how could you not know?"

"I really don't know."

"For example, if the chives I grow grow tall enough to eat, does that mean they're ripe?"

"Of course, no. Leeks that don't bear fruit and can't be passed on to the next generation aren't considered mature."

Xiao Nan suddenly understood, so that's how it is. He then asked, "If I personally cultivate the land, and the vegetables on one acre of land mature, will the space level up?"

"No, you may need to plant ten per acre, or a hundred per acre, or by type, just like the things you plant in flower pots. As long as they mature, they will also be included in the space upgrade. There are many different kinds."

Xiao Nan understood, and then asked, "Can't I do business?"

Longlong rolled his eyes: "No, I've said it before, this is not allowed. The space is created by farming. The more you farm, the more powerful the space will become, and the more feedback it will give you."

"Well, from now on, my life will mainly revolve around farming, living a pastoral life, being a village girl, or a landlady."

"The landlady! Haha."

Now Xiao Nan had a goal and her spirits lifted: to become a powerful landlady who could control the Dragon Kingdom simply by farming.

As for ability, you can't rush things; you have to take it slow.

Longlong naturally knew what she was thinking. It said, "Master, don't worry about strength. As long as you farm, you will have strength. The space will improve you."

Xiao Nan's eyes lit up; nothing could excite her more than this news.

In both her past and present lives, her primary goal has always been to gain power.

Strength determines wealth, strength determines the quality of your spouse, strength determines your status, and strength determines many other factors.

This isn't about material things; it's about the harsh reality.

"I see, it's just farming like crazy, right?"

"The enemy."

After setting his goal, Xiao Nan got up and went to the backyard. Seeing that the chives were growing well, he decided to wait for Meng Fei to come back and make some pork and chive dumplings because he wanted to eat them.

There were frozen dumplings with chive filling in the room, so I ate them first.

The old lady thus got to eat dumplings for the first time in her life, and Xiao Nan even minced garlic and mixed it with chili oil.

"Girl, what's this? It's delicious!"

"Dumplings are similar to steamed buns, except that steamed buns are made with leavened dough, while these are made with unleavened dough."

"Mmm, it's delicious, especially with this sauce, it's incredibly tasty. Is it good to wrap?"

"Good bag."

"Teach me later. It's okay, I'll make dumplings for you guys."

Xiao Nan smiled and said, "We'll wrap them up in the winter and freeze them in the warehouse. We can cook them whenever we want to eat them."

The old woman slapped her forehead: "That's right, that's how we used to do it. In winter, we would steam several batches of buns and store them for a long time without them spoiling. Once winter came and the ground froze, I would make them for you."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Meng Fei still hadn't returned. The old lady was getting anxious, but Xiao Nan remained calm.

This was Zhang Tingyu's wedding day. She was worried about leaving her grandmother alone at home, so she didn't go to watch the festivities. However, before dawn, Zhao left the child with her parents-in-law and took the village's oxcart to town.

This scene was witnessed by Longlong, the gossip, who excitedly told Xiao Nan.

"Master, Zhao has gone to cause trouble."

"She doesn't, she just goes to look."

"why?"

"If the name is not right, the words will not be proper. Making a fuss will only worsen her reputation. I'll just go and see for myself."

Longlong said with some disappointment, "What a pity, we can't go see it."

"She's waiting for news outside. She doesn't dare to make a scene outside, but she'll definitely make a scene with her in-laws when she gets home. You can hear it if you're crouching in the corner."

Longlong's face darkened: "I don't need to squat in the corner."

"That's right, haha, you don't have a butt or legs, so you can't squat, haha," Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Longlong roared, "Sooner or later, I will grow out."

"Let's talk about it when it grows out."

In the afternoon, as it was getting dark, Meng Fei returned. Like Xiao Nan, he carried a large basket on his back and another large basket in his hand, and came back through the back door.

The old woman felt relieved. Meng Fei carried the basket to the living room, and Xiao Nan poured him a bowl of water, which he gulped down. He wiped his mouth and said:

"I had some things to take care of and got back a bit late. Can you check if I bought everything I wanted?"

The old woman took things out one by one, saying repeatedly, "This is a wedding dress, a complete set, inside and out, it's so beautiful."

Meng Fei glanced at Xiao Nan, his face flushing red: "If other families have it, our family must have it too."

"These are red candles, the character for 'happiness'... Wow, it's all complete."

“I asked my friends, and they said this is how to prepare.”

With his simple and honest appearance, you'd really think he was a genuine farmer.

Xiao Nan sat to one side, not uttering a sound, silently watching the old woman count the things in the basket.

At the bottom of the first basket, there were two red cloth bags. Meng Fei bent down, took out the red bags, and placed them on the table.

He handed a bag to Granny Wang: "Grandma, this is for you. See if you like it."

After saying that, he picked up another bag and handed it to Xiao Nan: "This is for you. If you don't like it, we can buy another one later."

When the two opened the packages, they found that the two packages were exactly the same, except for the different patterns carved on them.

A bracelet, a pair of earrings, and a hairpin—all made of silver.

The old woman was quite excited: "Oh, it's a set! That must have cost a lot of money."

"If you like it, that's fine. When we have some free time, Nan'er and I will take you to the city to get your ears pierced."

"Okay, okay," the old woman wiped away her tears of joy.

Meng Fei asked Xiao Nan, "Do you like it?"

Xiao Nan nodded gently: "I like it, thank you."

"From now on, we're husband and wife, so don't be so polite. It's what I should do."

She pointed to another basket: "What are these?"

"Although I am marrying into your family, I still want to prepare something for you. Consider it my dowry, it's all for you."

Xiao Nan was taken aback. She walked over, lifted the cloth covering the room, and found several bolts of cloth, several sets of women's clothes, matching shoes, all in bright yet dignified colors, as well as several exquisite boxes, presumably containing jewelry or something similar, and some paper packages. She looked up at Meng Fei and asked.

"You want me to change back into women's clothing?"

“If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. I just think that with me at home, you won’t need to wear men’s clothes. I can buy whatever you want. At your age, you should dress up nicely.”

"Okay, unless there are special circumstances, I will wear women's clothes from now on."

"Hehe," Meng Fei's face remained red, and he scratched his head shyly.

Meng Fei carried the second basket into Xiao Nan's house, and the old woman put it away. Then, Xiao Nan cut some chives from the backyard, the old woman kneaded the dough, and Meng Fei watched from the side.
