She had not planted too many fruit trees. After all, ti was different in the interspace, and the fruits grew especially fast.
She had sixteen apple trees and would pick them every fortnight. She could not figure out how the days and seasons in the interspace worked. In any case, things here grew continually and it was like spring all the ti.
She had more peach trees, which occupied about an acre of land, and quite a few strawberry plants, but only two grapevines. The vines were particularly prolific and spread through a large area. She had sold many of them over the decades of her previous life. But at this ti, she still kept a lot of them in her interspace.
She spent a long ti before she finally harvested all the fruits. Then she began to dry and bottle them.
These were her specialty. In her previous life, she had started a business to sell these. She had sold them for a particularly high price, but business was still brisk.
As she did in her previous life, she made them and stored them. They would surely co in handy one day.
She could not do much by herself. After busying herself for so ti, she took out a piece of paper to practice her drawing and calligraphy.
Because she was afraid of eting others, she had mostly stayed at ho in her previous life. But her family had educated her since she was young. Also, almost all the old people who were sent to work in the cowshed were the best in their professions, and she had learnt a lot from them.
Calligraphy and drawing were two of the things she had learnt. She had even learnt embroidery from one of the old ladies, and her work was excellent.
But landscape painting was Gu Qingyao’s favorite. She had gone to many places in her previous life. Every ti she went to a new place, she particularly enjoyed the process of sketching it.
Gu Qingyao smiled when she looked at the scene she had sketched.
These were the fruits of decades of practice from her previous life. Right now, she was only 15 years old, and should not be so skillful. She must be careful the next ti she visited the old people.
Gu Qingyao arose early the next morning. Today was the day the brigade was slaughtering the pigs and distributing the at. This year, the brigade had experienced so delays, so they were doing it later than they had in previous years.
The Qing River Brigade reared six pigs. Two of them were to fulfill an assignnt, and they had been handed over long ago.
That left four pigs. Besides that, the brigade also raised so fifty chickens, ducks and geese. Based on the population size, everyone would get about a kilogram of at.
According to the rules, children would get half a kilogram of at, and adults would get a kilogram.
Today, the brigade had specially hired a butcher to kill the pigs at the big square outside the brigade office. The entire brigade gathered to watch, and it was a spectacular event. Gu Qingyao and Gu Jinlin went too.
Gu Qingyao had been reborn, and it had been decades since she had seen a scene like that. When she rembered her youth, she felt rather nostalgic. She also thought it would be fun, so she dragged her third elder brother along.
Gu Qingyao’s scalp prickled when she saw the huge hogs tied to the table, screaming piteously as they were slaughtered. The children in the crowd clapped in excitent because they would soon have at to eat.
Gu Qingyao: “...”
Chen Goudan and Chen Xiaocao were also very excited. Now that they had moved out, they would get a share of the at. This ti, they would take their share themselves, and they would finally have a taste of at.
The two children were not yet adults. They would get half a kilogram each, which made a full kilogram between the two of them!
Although it was just a kilogram of at, Chen Goudan was still filled with anticipation. The sensation of independence filled him with delight!
Chen Xiaocao’s eyes shone like stars and her little face was flushed. Her expression as she stared straight at the pigs being slaughtered...
Gu Qingyao really did not know how to describe it.
That poor pig!
