Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 155 Care

Of course, Tan Shaoting had no objections, so he drove over during the day.

The temperature at night was certainly lower than during the day, so when Tan Shaoting arrived at the riverside, there was no one there.

He squatted by the water, used the Water Drawing Technique, and filled five storage bottles. Then he started to collect fish.

Along the way, he saw that no household was not working in the fields.

Everyone was genuinely happy about this rain. It was equivalent to hope.

He collected five crates of fish, in various sizes. There was ice from Su Yuanyuan in the Storage Ring, and he put a piece in each crate, better than nothing.

He was quite eager to return. He himself was unconcerned, but he liked to see the little girl’s surprised expression.

After Tan Shaoting left, Su Yuanyuan drove to the home of the Zhao Family.

She saw that they had quite a few water containers in their yard. That was also a solution.

The five siblings were not home, so she went to the fields. She saw they were all weeding.

Actually, this was right. Reducing any threats to the crops.

"Yuanyuan, you’re here? You’re not weeding?"

"There isn’t much weed in our fields, so I just leave it like that."

Seeing the crops looking much more vibrant and the smiles on the siblings’ faces, Su Yuanyuan thought that was really nice.

After staying for a while, she left. There was still a lot of work at home, luckily no pigs or chickens to raise.

Along the way, she saw every household weeding in the fields, most of which were planted with corn. The corn stalks looked very thin. If there’s no rain in the future, it’s likely that there won’t be any harvest.

After returning home, she was not in a good mood. No one would be happy seeing such a scene.

She harvested all the chives in the yard. If there’s a chance this year, she’d like to go outside and sell all the vegetables from the space.

This should be extremely scarce. Su Yuanyuan thought as she planned to travel by train, stopping in each city for a day or two.

After feeding the livestock in the evening, she went straight to bed. Without Tan Shaoting beside her to cultivate, she didn’t have the inclination.

She had a dreamless night, and it was a little after four in the morning when she was awakened.

"You came back quickly."

"Not too bad. Should we send these fish out now?" The ice had already melted, and the fish didn’t look old.

"Sure. I’ll hitch the cart, you wash up, eat, and rest."

Su Yuanyuan picked some chives, grabbed a few cucumbers, and drove to the Zhao Family first.

By this time, the five siblings had already gone to the fields. Su Yuanyuan waited at the field’s edge, and Zhao Yanli ran over.

"Yuanyuan. What’s this? Is this fish?"

"Yes. I’m here to deliver fish for you. And these vegetables, hurry and find a basin. I still need to go to Group Leader Ma’s and Director Feng’s homes."

"I’ll salt them later." Zhao Yanli said with a smile.

It was a little after six o’clock when Su Yuanyuan got home. Both the Ma Changshun and Feng Baoshan families were quite grateful to Su Yuanyuan. She explained that Tan Shaoting had gone to check the water situation by the river and caught them by the way.

She arrived home to find Tan Shaoting watering the winter melon vines.

Actually, their melon vines were growing quite well.

There were still two barrels of fish left, and Su Yuanyuan cooked them briefly in saltwater before taking them out to dry. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

As August arrived, the weather became even hotter. After that rain, nothing else followed; the crops didn’t get any relief. The corn was even more pitiful, with corn cobs too small. Some fields didn’t produce corn cobs at all.

Their three acres of land were okay, just that the corn cobs were also much smaller.

Now, worrying was useless.

Both of them still watered each vine regularly. But given the overall environment, the water they poured was just better than nothing. There was simply no way to irrigate extensively.

However, they already had grown sweet potatoes and potatoes, much better than others.

Su Yuanyuan visited the Zhao Family fields and saw that their potatoes and sweet potatoes had also borne fruit, but they were too small.

In the evening, the two had dinner in the yard: sorghum rice with water, a dish of fried meat with beans, and chive omelette. There was also mashed eggplant with garlic.

"Alright, stop dwelling on this. You can’t defy God."

"Sigh. If my dear father would send another rain, life wouldn’t be so hard then."

If only their fields produced grain while others had no harvest, that would be hard to say.

Tan Shaoting chuckled from the side. "Let’s hope your dear father can hear your wish and fulfill it."

Su Yuanyuan glared at Tan Shaoting, knowing she was lucky. But she also didn’t believe she was that lucky.

"Do you think I’m too greedy?"

"Greedy? What are you greedy for?"

"Sigh. Never mind. If it really rains this time, no matter how tough things get in the future, I won’t trouble my dear father anymore."

When it rained again that night, Tan Shaoting woke the peacefully sleeping Su Yuanyuan.

"Your dear father indeed cares for you, see how timely this rain is? And it’s even heavier than last time."

Su Yuanyuan jumped off the kang and ran out to take a look.

Clasping her hands together, "Thanks, dear father. I’ll never make unreasonable requests again. Thank you."

At this moment, Tan Shaoting felt the rain getting heavier.

"Alright, come back and continue sleeping."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, excitedly returning to bed, but how could she sleep now?

"Tan Shaoting, do you think I am truly someone favored by God?"

Tan Shaoting climbed onto the bed, sat beside her, smiled, and nodded.

"Yes, you are indeed someone favored by God."

"Do you think my request was a bit unreasonable? Next time, I won’t dare to ask for anything easily."

Seeing the little girl looking scared, Tan Shaoting felt his hands itch. He tried to ruffle her hair, and she dodged away.

"Everything has its limits. So, not asking is a good thing."

"Yes, I understand. Do you want to cultivate? I’ll cultivate too."

Su Yuanyuan rarely took the initiative to cultivate, perhaps because she was feeling uncertain.

The next day’s weather cleared up. Outside, Su Yuanyuan dug the soil with a shovel, reaching a spade’s depth of moisture.

This time it provided significant relief.

Su Yuanyuan clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, with a smile on her face.

Tan Shaoting watched her from the side, smiling.

After they had breakfast, they started weeding too.

"I think it’s better to wait a few days before using the hoe to weed." Tan Shaoting felt the soil was quite damp.

Su Yuanyuan stayed home to tidy up the vegetable garden while Tan Shaoting went out for a round and saw everyone planting.

He asked around and found out they were planting cabbage and radish. Now, planting anything else was impossible; it was these two remaining crops. Even if they weren’t mature by the time it froze, they could be harvested. By then, they’d be lifesaving food.

He rushed home to find Su Yuanyuan planting cabbage and radishes too.

"If it doesn’t work, let’s sell them."

"Are we going out again this year?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, we have so much grain and vegetables in hand, let’s sell them. We can obtain good things, others can get food, it’s a win-win situation."
