Chapter 3 Going to the Countryside

There is a tea tree in the middle of the yard, but he doesn't know what kind of tea tree it is because the space did not give him any feedback.

Under the tea tree, there is a pond that protrudes about 60 centimeters from the ground. The pond is not big, with a diameter of about 50 centimeters.

This is the spiritual spring in the space, which has the effect of prolonging life and strengthening physical fitness.

"I wonder if this spiritual spring will be effective for my dad's legs?" Li Jiayi said to himself.

You know, my dad got his leg injured on the battlefield! Especially when it was windy and rainy, the pain was unbearable.

On the right side of the courtyard is a large piece of land, but not much of it can be used, only six acres of farmland and six acres of vegetable garden.

Moreover, whether it is farmland or vegetable plots, they are divided into six plots, that is, one plot is one acre.

On the left side of the courtyard is a fully automatic breeding farm where chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys can be raised.

However, not many can be raised. A maximum of 500 chickens and ducks and 300 geese can be raised.

There are fifty pigs, cows, sheep, horses and donkeys in total. No more than that. There is no other way. The area is so small.

Outside the farm is an orchard, but now it is bare and there is nothing on it.

In front of the courtyard is a fish pond with an area of ​​about six acres.

There is a mountain behind us, but I don’t know how big it is because the visible area is not very large.

There is a waterfall, and under the waterfall is a pool of water, which never gets full even though the water keeps flowing.

That's the whole space.

Another thing is the time in space. Compared with the outside world, the ratio is thirty to one. In other words, one day outside is equivalent to thirty days in space.

With a thought, Li Jiayi appeared on the bed, quickly got up from the bed and ran to the kitchen.

Because there are a few potatoes in the kitchen, and some brown rice, yes, polished rice cannot be grown, but brown rice can.

Polished rice has no germ, while brown rice has a germ. However, even so, without the protection of the rice husk, only six or seven out of ten grains of brown rice will germinate.

But Li Jiayi has a spiritual spring! Soaking in the spring should be fine.

He took a match from the stove, lit the lantern in the kitchen, and carried the lantern to the rice jar.

I opened the rice jar and grabbed a handful. But there was not much rice left in the jar. If I grabbed too much, my mom would find out.

Seeing that there were only seven potatoes left, Li Jiayi took one and then pinched a few raw peanuts from a can.

Just as he was about to turn off the lantern, he saw the water jar. He walked over to take a look and found that there was still one third of water in the jar.

Li Jiayi filled the water tank with the spiritual spring. Although they had running water in the courtyard, they still used a water tank in the kitchen.

He turned off the lantern and ran back to the room, lying on the bed before entering the space.

I got some spiritual spring water to soak the brown rice, and then with a thought, a small hole appeared in the field.

Put the brown rice in, and the water in the pool behind will fill up the small hole.

Then Li Jia buried a handful of potatoes and some peanuts in the ground and watered them with water from the pond.

Of course, these are just a matter of thought and he doesn't need to do it himself.

After finishing all this, Li Jiayi did not go out, because it was too hot outside, and it was so comfortable in the space! More than 20 degrees.

And there is a bedroom in the courtyard!
When he woke up, six hours had passed. He hurried to the puddle where the seedlings were grown, but to his surprise the seedlings were already about ten centimeters tall.

This is normal, because it has been soaked in spiritual spring water!
Mark out a small piece of land, water it with water from the pond, and plant the seedlings in it.

The peanuts have sprouted and have grown more than ten centimeters, but there is no need to move them.

The potatoes had sprouted a lot, so they were taken out and a piece of each sprout was cut and replanted in the ground.

I stretched and came out of the space. A wave of heat hit me. It was morning already.

I opened the door and walked out of the house, going straight to the kitchen. Sure enough, my mother Ye Xin was cooking.

"Go wash up quickly, you have to go to school after dinner." Seeing him, his mother said. "Mom, I finished the exam yesterday and now it's a holiday." Li Jiayi said helplessly.

"Ah! Holidays?"

"Yeah! Go get your report card in three days, then wait for school to start."

"All right!"

Li Jiayi is now in the fifth grade of primary school. Other children basically start school at the age of eight, but he is six, including his two older sisters.

My eldest sister is in the first grade of junior high school this year, and will be in the second grade when school starts again.

The second sister is in the fourth grade. Although she and Li Jiayi went to school together, Li Jiayi skipped a grade.

At that time, the school adopted a five-three-two system, that is, there were five grades in elementary school, three grades in junior high school, and two grades in high school.

If school started again, Li Jiayi would have to go to junior high school, but there was no other way because he wanted his two sisters and himself to graduate from technical secondary school before 1986.

"By the way, mom, isn't it vacation time? I want to spend the summer at grandpa's house."

"Why do you want to go to grandpa's house?"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "There's nothing to do in the city, and I just happened to miss my grandparents."

"Okay, when are you going? I'll ask your dad to take you there."

"No, I can go by myself, and I plan to go today."

My mother asked, "You're not going to get your report card today?"

"Just let my sister get it for me."

Li Jiayi's grandfather's home is not in the city, but in a rural area of ​​Changping County. Not only that, it is also the westernmost part of Changping County.

Fenghuangling in Dianhai District and Miaofeng Mountain in Mentougou further west can be described as sparsely populated and deserted places.

"Then you talk to your dad!" Ye Xin gave the decision-making power to Li Aimin.

"Okay then, I'll tell my dad when we eat."

Breakfast is simple, so it’s quick to make. It’s rice porridge, very thin, so you can count the grains. This is also a chance for everyone in the family to eat fine grains.

Then there were steamed buns, and similarly, there was a white flour bun prepared for Li Jiayi.

There is also a plate of pickles. We don’t cook any vegetables in the morning, so only pickles are available.

"Dad, I'm going to grandpa's house today."

"I'm going today. I didn't ask for leave!" Li Aimin said with a frown.

"No need for you to send me, I can go by myself."

"No, that won't work. You can't go that far alone." Li Aimin shook his head.

"I'm going there by car, not on foot. Are you afraid that I'll be kidnapped?"

"There are still more than ten kilometers after getting off the car! What if he gets kidnapped?" said Li Aimin.

"Old Li!!!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead, you little brat. You always mention Lao Li. Am I old?"

"Uh!"

Li Aimin is indeed not old, and can even be said to be very young, as he is only 30 years old this year.

He was conscripted by bald men at the age of fourteen, but ran away before he even reached his destination and joined the Eighth Route Army.

The regiment commander made him a guard because he was young, actually to take care of him.

After all, as a guard, you have fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield.
