Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 14 Vegetable Basket Project

Grandma Yufei thought that if she succeeded, she would definitely replace all the vegetables in her garden with lovely white jade radishes!

The next day, after the space upgrade was completed, Yufei didn't even have time to see what changes had occurred before she went to dig up black soil with Granny Chun.

After digging up the black soil and filling the fertilizer bags that Yufei had prepared earlier, Yufei looked at the 10 bags of black soil and thought that was about enough. She then left the space.

Granny Chun followed Yufei out of the space, avoiding Yufei's grandparents, and went to the outside of Yufei's house to bring out the stroller and fertilizer.

After tidying himself up, he knocked on Yufei's door.

"Chun, you're here!" Grandma Yufei heard the knock on the door, opened it, and greeted Chun'e, the "Agricultural Science Academy," warmly.

"Yes! Sister Gao, I've come to bring you fertilizer," Granny Chun said with a smile to Grandma Yufei.

"Come in, come in and have a simple meal! I'm really sorry, we don't have anything particularly fancy to offer, please forgive us if our hospitality is lacking."

Grandma Yufei thought that since Chun'e and the others could afford such fine things as white jade radishes, they must have seen all sorts of good things. She worried that Chun'e might find them unappetizing, as their rural village didn't have much to offer her.

"Sister Gao, it's my honor to eat your cooking. Thank you so much," Chun'e said, noticing Grandma Yufei's embarrassment and trying not to make her feel disliked.

Grandma Yufei was delighted and quickly welcomed Chun'e into the house, prepared tea, and then asked Yufei to keep Chun'e company while she went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Granny Chun leisurely sipped her tea and chatted with Yufei about random things, knowing that Yufei's grandmother was calling them for dinner.

"Chunmei, eat more," Grandma Yufei said, placing what she considered the best dish on Chunma's plate.

Looking at Granny Chun's overflowing bowl of food, Yufei suddenly felt a pang of jealousy; she didn't have any! o＞_＜o

"Sister Gao, your stir-fried pork with chili peppers is delicious!" Granny Chun praised as she ate with great relish.

Grandma Yufei was overjoyed by the praise, and she felt even more that Chun'e was a wonderful person—humble, polite, and down-to-earth.

The meal was a great success, and after it was over, Granny Chun and Grandma Yufei took their leave, saying that the experiments over there still needed her and they had to go back quickly. They also wished them success.

Granny Chun had completed her task and returned to her spatial dimension in a secluded corner.

Through Chun'e's words, Grandma Yufei understood that the Agricultural Research Institute knew they were growing their White Jade Radishes and seemed quite supportive. She felt relieved and cleared some land mixed with fertilizer, planting White Jade Radishes there.

By the time Grandma Yufei and Yufei finished clearing the land, it was already evening.

After finishing the simple home-cooked meal prepared by Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandma moved their bamboo mat to the vegetable garden. While fanning away mosquitoes with a palm-leaf fan, they gazed at the garden, dreaming of the future and chatting about everyday life.

In 94, the countryside was still untouched by industrial pollution. Yufei looked up and saw countless stars that seemed so close, almost within reach.

"Ah! A shooting star!" Yufei quickly clasped her hands together to make a wish, thanking the heavens not only for giving her a second chance but also for giving her an extremely powerful cheat code.

This gave her the means to fulfill her dream from her youth in her previous life, but to realize that dream... she still needed a lot of money.

That's far from enough! If these crops in the space could be grown outside, it would accelerate her initial capital accumulation, hopefully leading to success.

In her past life, Yufei's mother told Yufei that Longyuan was a blessed land, with favorable weather and abundant harvests, even during that large-scale viral invasion.

Longyuan Town held out until the very end. This time, her wish was related to Longyuan Town, her childhood home, and she hoped it would bring her good luck.

"Yufei, go back to sleep." As Yufei gazed at the starry sky, searching for the Big Dipper, her grandmother felt sleepy and called for Yufei and her husband to go back to bed.

After her grandparents fell asleep, Yufei finally had time to enter the space and check on the upgrade progress.

As soon as Yufei entered the space, a chubby little white dragon with horns on its head and a tail appeared in front of her.

In a sweet, childlike voice, it said, "Welcome home, Master. I am your intelligent baby—Baby Dragon. Feel free to ask me any questions."

Yufei didn't hold back and immediately asked, "Baby Dragon, tell me, what changes have occurred in the space? It's not just that there's one more of you, is it?! →_→"

"Of course not, the space has changed a lot, but young master, I think we should go and see for ourselves. Why don't you come with me?"

Long Baobao was eager to prove something to Yufei, so he tugged at Yufei's sleeve, wanting to take her to see the sights.

So cute! Yufei watched the baby dragon flapping its little wings with great eagerness.

Then Granny Chun arrived at Yufei's side, her face beaming with smiles. It seems Granny Chun is also very happy about the upgrade to the space.

Upon hearing what Long Baobao said, Granny Chun immediately said that she would also go shopping with him.

Yufei was naturally happy to oblige. If she got tired later, she could even be carried by Granny Chun—after all, she was still a baby! She thought it perfectly logical.

Yufei nodded; she wanted to see what changes had occurred in this space over a day.

"Master, follow me!" Baby Dragon flapped its wings and led the way, flying a short distance before stopping to wait for Yufei and her companion.

Yufei looked at the fields in front of the side room; they were still fields, planted with the familiar vegetables and crops.

Hmm...it seems a bit too big, with 7 or 8 extra plots of land next to it.

That's all! Yufei was a little disappointed, but at least Granny Chun had told her to be patient, so she continued to patiently follow the dragon baby.

Upon arriving at the pond, Yufei noticed something different. What had previously been a misty haze around the pond was now clearly visible, with two narrow paths running along its sides.

The baby dragon chose one of the paths, and because the pond was very large, it took about half an hour to walk there.

The three of them arrived at one side of the pool, where Yufei saw a series of neatly arranged railings.

The sign above reads: chicken coop, duck coop, goose pen, sheep pen, pig pen, and cattle pen.

The chicken coop, duck coop, and goose pen have already been occupied, and the population is quite large, so these three areas are particularly spacious.

The sheepfold, pigsty, and cattle pen were still empty, awaiting the arrival of their owner.

The inside of each fence was clean and tidy, without the unpleasant smell that Yufei had imagined.

"Thank you for your hard work, Granny Chun," Yufei thought Granny Chun was the one who took care of the small animals.

Granny Chun interrupted her emotional outburst.

"Don't thank me, it's because the space has been upgraded and now has a built-in environmental purification function. The produce these little guys generate is automatically processed into fertilizer by the space. You can use it; it's similar to the effect of black soil."

Granny Chun blinked, indicating...

"It's been made into fertilizer? Like black soil? Where is it?" Yufei asked excitedly. She was finally free from the arduous task of digging for black soil.

"I'll take you there later," Long Baobao said proudly as he walked forward.
