Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 1142 A Surprising New Home (1)

Liu Jianjun drove Liu Jingxue to the courtyard with four entrances, opened the door, and took Liu Jingxue in, introducing the courtyard to her as they walked.

"Since last year, when we knew you might leave the Red Star Production Team and come to Beijing, and that you wanted a courtyard house, the leaders began to make arrangements.

This yard has been empty for many years, no one has taken care of it, and it is in a dilapidated state. "

"What you see now is the result of a renovation last year after the leaders sent people there and put in a lot of effort."

Liu Jianjun led Liu Jingxue to the second courtyard and pointed at a few trees and flowers that he didn't know what they were.

“I don’t know what you like, so I arranged for someone to plant some flowers and plants here.

But now it is winter, the flowers and plants have withered, leaving only a bare field.

But don’t worry, the plants we plant are perennials and will grow again when spring comes.”

Liu Jingxue thought to herself, given the nature of her crops dying, if it weren't for the magical spring water and Tuanzi, her vegetable garden would have never yielded a harvest in the past few years in the Red Star Production Team.

Moreover, she is a pragmatist and is not really interested in flowers and plants. She thinks it would be more practical to grow some vegetables.

Although she had space to grow vegetables, she couldn't show it to others. She could only open up a vegetable patch in the yard and grow some vegetables to cover up the fact that she didn't have to go out to buy vegetables every day.

But those flowers and plants were probably planted by the leaders with great effort. Wouldn't it be bad if she destroyed them?

After taking a look at Liu Jianjun who was talking excitedly, Liu Jingxue spoke carefully.

"Second brother, if I pull out these flowers and weeds in the spring of next year and open up a vegetable garden to grow vegetables, will the leaders be angry?"

Liu Jianjun, who was enthusiastically introducing the situation, was speechless for a moment, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

It took him a long while to find his voice again, and he looked at Liu Jingxue in disbelief.

"Little sister, I think I heard you wrongly. I seemed to hear you say that you want to pull up the flowers and plants in the yard and plant vegetables?"

Liu Jingxue nodded, "You heard me right, that's exactly what I said."

"Little sister, have you become addicted to farming during these years in the countryside? Why are you still thinking about farming after returning to the city?"

Other girls' families all think about planting flowers and plants to cultivate their sentiments.

Why is this person in his family so different from others?

We need to pull out the good flowers and plants and grow vegetables instead.

"What will I eat if I don't grow vegetables?" Liu Jingxue asked back.

“You can go buy it. Don’t all city dwellers go to buy vegetables?

Before you went to the countryside, when you lived with your grandparents in Xinshi, didn’t you also go there to buy vegetables? "

Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Second brother, do you think I am so lazy and stay at home that I would want to go out to buy groceries every day?

You have to rush to buy food, you have to line up early, if you are late you won’t be able to buy it! ”

"Can you imagine me fighting with those aunties and grandmas for food?"

Liu Jingxue covered her chest and shook her head in resistance, "I just don't dare to imagine it.

I definitely can’t beat them.”

“In addition, I have been eating vegetables freshly picked from the fields in the countryside for the past few years. I have long discovered that vegetables picked and eaten right after are much more delicious than those bought.

I have developed a very picky taste over the years, and I don’t want to leave out the good stuff and eat the inferior stuff.”

“Originally I didn’t expect that I would be rewarded with such a large yard. I thought I would have to go back to my previous hard life.

Now that I have such a big yard, why don’t I make use of it and grow my own vegetables.

I even prepared the vegetable seeds and brought them here.”

Just kidding, if I don’t grow vegetables, how can I have an excuse not to go out and buy vegetables and still have vegetables to eat.

After taking a look at the courtyard of the second courtyard and estimating its size, Liu Jingxue gestured and said,

“I don’t plant too much, just half.

The left side will continue to be planted with flowers and plants, and the right half will be cultivated to grow vegetables.

Anyway, I am the only one growing vegetables, and I can grow enough vegetables to eat, and I can also dry a lot of them.”

What else could Liu Jianjun say? He could only helplessly say, "Okay, as long as you are happy."

“Then you say if I turn the garden into a vegetable plot, will the leaders be angry?

Will they think that I have wasted their efforts?"

Thinking about the experiences and personalities of the leaders, Liu Jianjun shook his head.

"Don't worry, they won't be mad.

Now that this yard has been given to you, you can do whatever you want with it.

Besides, if they knew you turned the flower garden into a vegetable garden, they probably wouldn’t be angry, they would even praise you for being able to manage your life.”

Liu Jingxue thought about the hard work of the leaders in establishing the Xia Kingdom and agreed with them, "I think so too.

It has been decided then, half of the second courtyard will be used to grow flowers, and the other half will be used to grow vegetables."

"I also plan to raise some poultry for eggs and meat. After all, after leaving the Red Star Production Team, it's not as convenient to get meat as before."

"Brother, let's go further in. I need to see the layout of the yard and see where to keep the poultry."

After listening to Liu Jingxue's arrangement, Liu Jianjun thought about the layout of this quadrangle and couldn't help but suggest,

"Little sister, I don't think you need to pull out the flowers and plants in the second courtyard and turn it into a vegetable garden.

If a guest comes and sees a vegetable garden and a farm, it will really affect their impression.”

He lowered his voice and said, “Now there are regulations for each family in the rural production team to raise poultry.

If you want to raise poultry, it is best to do it secretly and not let too many people know.

If you keep it in the yard, it will be seen by people passing by, which is not good.”

Liu Jingxue said uncertainly, "It shouldn't matter. I don't plan to interact with too many people."

Anyway, when she raised poultry, she only intended to raise a few in public to give herself an excuse to eat eggs and meat. Most of them must be raised in space.

Thinking of his little sister's lonely personality, Liu Jianjun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Even if you don’t want to socialize with too many people, what if someone comes to you?

If a neighbor comes to visit, you can’t turn them away; that’s not hospitality.”

“Also, you’re staying here, you can’t possibly not deal with the staff of the street office, right?

Your grain and oil relationship is here, so you can’t avoid receiving grain, oil and meat coupons every month.”

Liu Jingxue frowned. That’s true.

If someone came to visit, she really couldn't refuse to let them in.

Moreover, when government workers came to visit, she couldn't turn them away.

"I forgot to tell you that this quadrangle is not just a four-courtyard house, it also has two east and west courtyards and two small gardens.

The main courtyard of this quadrangle is the third courtyard, and only these three courtyards can lead to the east and west courtyards, as well as the two gardens, so it is well hidden. "

Liu Jianjun suggested, "Why don't you just live in this third courtyard by yourself.

If you want to grow vegetables and raise poultry, you might as well do it in those two gardens.

The wall of this courtyard is very high, and ordinary people cannot climb in and see what is going on inside.

Raise more poultry quietly, and no one will notice unless you bring someone to see them."

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she immediately became interested and hurriedly urged,

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Take me around the whole yard."
