Chapter 18 Someone is coming
"Sister Ningning?"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Su Ning raised her head, her emotions returning to normal, and smiled as she pinched her cheek, "Silly Yingying, what are you worried about?"

What grudge could possibly remain between a father and daughter overnight?
These were words her father often said to her. Fu Ying thought about it and realized that it was true. So she was just being overly sensitive and overthinking things.
Her tense expression instantly relaxed, and she replied with a smile, "Uncle Xu and Xiao Tingzi have already gone inside, let's hurry and catch up, Ningning-jie~"

After entering the house, everyone exchanged a few simple pleasantries, since those going to work or school would have to get up early the next day.
As Fu Ting rode away on his bicycle, Su Ning took Fu Ying to wash up and go back to their room to sleep early.

……

"Yingying...Yingying?"

She called out tentatively twice, but the person on the bed was still fast asleep and hadn't even turned over. Su Ning shook her head helplessly, pulled the thin blanket next to her over her stomach, and gently got out of bed.

He glanced at the watch on the desk and quickly slipped into his spatial dimension while there was still plenty of time.

"How could it be... so fast?"

I was stunned by what I saw as soon as I entered.

In the experimental field next to the courtyard, the things she planted haphazardly had all matured, much earlier than expected.

I quickly walked forward, squatted down to examine it, and saw several golden ears of wheat with heavy heads hanging down, and large, plump grains of rice wrapped in husks.

Two or three corn stalks nearby each had five or six corn buds, with black tassels at the base, and each bud was about the size of two adult fists.

There were also plump winter melons, round pumpkins, eggplants gleaming with a purplish sheen, and bell peppers twisting in all sorts of ways…

"hiss--"

Suning gasped in surprise, but his first thought wasn't about the bountiful harvest he would experience in the next few days.

Instead, she experienced the difficulties and hardships of pushing a mahogany box by hand, and realized that she was physically weak. What should she do then?
Even if you work yourself to death, you can't harvest more than a hundred acres of land, let alone harvesting only once every few days!

"If this grain could be stored in the warehouse automatically..."

Before the words were even finished, the grains and vegetables in the field were seen orderly detaching and flying towards the small courtyard.

She was stunned and only then realized: So this is how she can do things in the Peach Blossom Spring space?

It turns out there's a huge underground storage room inside the courtyard?

So why didn't she think of this sooner when she was transporting the boxes?

So why did she go through all the trouble of transporting the box to the cave instead of just putting it in the underground storage room?

With a complex mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or angry, Su Ning grabbed a handful of her long, loose hair. Suddenly remembering something, she quickly walked to the riverbank and then hurriedly climbed up the small hill.

"It's true."

Not only have the fish, shrimp, and crab seedlings released into the river grown up and multiplied, but the livestock on the hill have also grown taller and fatter, and there are so many eggs that they are almost an overabundance!

Try using the method I just used to collect all the grown fish, shrimp, crabs, and eggs from the hill into the underground storage room.

After repeated attempts, she gained more and more control and became more proficient.

I also learned that items entering the underground storage room are automatically categorized and even thoughtfully processed: for example, wheat is threshed, fish, shrimp, and crabs are frozen, chickens, ducks, and geese are plucked whole, and pigs, cattle, and sheep are slaughtered and processed...

It amazed her and filled her with joy.

"It really is a treasure!"

I was originally planning to learn how to farm and raise livestock after I got to southern Hunan, but now I don't have to worry about that at all!
Looking at the farmland, planted with various fruit trees and melon seeds in just a few minutes without any effort on my part, I felt a surge of joy.

……

Tsinghua University Affiliated High School.

The morning light shines on the branches of two rows of towering sycamore trees, and the eight characters "Study hard and make progress every day" are written prominently on the mottled gray tile and earthen wall.

In front of several not-too-old teaching buildings, groups of students poured in as the first school bell rang.

"Ningning, you should go back now!" Fu Ying waved vigorously at her, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and ran through the gate with her aluminum lunchbox in her arms to reunite with her classmates.

"Oh! Fu Ying, is that your older sister? She's so beautiful!"

"Of course, how could my sister not be beautiful?"

"Tell me, aren't we good buddies?"

"Yes, and don't even think about making a move on her. Get out of the way!"

"..."

Only after turning the corner and disappearing from sight of her laughing and playing did Su Ning turn around and slowly walk back from the school gate.

Today is the day to collect grain and oil. Elderly people and children who have nothing to do at home all took their grain ration books and lined up before dawn.

After avoiding the alley with its long queues, we arrived at the courtyard in five or six minutes.

As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she saw two people who immediately gave her warm smiles.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Mao! When did you arrive? Come on in!"

"We just arrived too, hehehe, just arrived."

After leading the two into the house and pouring each of them a cup of tea, Su Ning finally felt a little relieved after seeing them.

At that time, Grandpa Fu had not yet retired. Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin were his team members. It was said that the two were carefully selected from the TZ team and were top-notch in skills and techniques.

Later, due to health reasons, Grandpa Fu retired. He was unwilling to take up national resources and dismissed all the staff around him. He insisted on continuing to contribute his remaining energy by guarding the gate of the textile factory.

As a result, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin did not continue to work elsewhere, but instead chose to retire one after the other.

"It's been years since I last saw Ningning. She's grown into a beautiful young woman, and she's become more and more lovely with each passing year!"

"Hehe, Brother Zhang is right."

Zhang Ze looked at the people bustling around in front of him with a sigh. Time really flies; the little girl from back then seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye.

"Ningning, don't bother, your brother Mao and I have already had breakfast!"

After setting out the last plate of melon seeds and candies, Su Ning sat down with a smile. "No way! I ate a lot of candy from my two older brothers back then. Now that I finally get to see them, how can I not let them get their money's worth?"

"Hahahaha!"

"You're still the same as before, always sweet-talking and good with words."

The three chatted and laughed, without any awkwardness or estrangement from not seeing each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

When Grandpa Fu was mentioned, Su Ning spoke naturally and asked directly, "Brother Zhang, you should know why I'm looking for you, right?"

When it came to serious matters, Zhang Ze and Mao Qianjin simultaneously stopped what they were doing and became serious and focused.

"Old Fu mentioned it briefly, saying that Ningning, you'll tell us the details after we meet."

"I will be leaving for Xiangnan in less than a week. My two older brothers will not only need to protect me, but also accompany me to Xiangnan for several years. Will my sister-in-law and the others be happy about that?"

"Don't worry, Ningning, we've thought all of this through. At worst, we'll just bring your sister-in-law and the others to settle in Hunan!"

"Yes, Ningning, Zhang Ge and I both thought it through before we agreed."

It wasn't just because her younger sister was a likable person, and the two of them were happy to help each other when they encountered difficulties, but also because she offered generous benefits and compensation.

Having a family and children means you have to consider so many things and face reality.

"That's good."

Since both of them knew and had thought it through, Su Ning didn't ask any more questions. "From now on, Brother Zhang, you will be responsible for protecting Fu Ying around the clock. Brother Mao, stay here and follow me secretly."
