Zhou Mo appeared in a mountain valley surrounded by mountains. At her feet was an open flat land with five square pieces of yellow land.
The area of each piece of yellow land is not large, about 4 square meters.
Five pieces of land are arranged in the shape of "one".
There is a fence next to it, and there are several farm tools leaning on the fence, including shovels, hoes, kettles, sickles, etc.
Zhou Mo picked up the shovel and started working on a piece of yellow soil.
With a gentle push, the tip of the shovel was buried in the soil, and then with a little more force, a small hole was dug.
After Zhou Mo dug five small holes in a row, she clicked on the "Farm Warehouse" bubble on the system light screen.
A box exactly like the system backpack popped up, and the five white radish seeds presented by the system were quietly lying in the first small box.
Zhou Mo took out the white radish seeds and buried them one by one in the small hole she dug.
She had never done farm work before, and she didn't know whether the hole should be dug deep or shallow, and how thick of soil should be buried above the seeds, but the system told her that "sowing was successful" after she buried a seed.
If it succeeds, it means that her planting method just now is ok and she can continue planting.
After all five seeds were sown successfully, Zhou Mo thought a little proudly: It seems that I am quite talented in farming. No wonder this interstellar pastoral system chose me to be the manager of Blue Star.
Do you need to water it after planting?
She picked up the kettle next to the fence and started watering the spot where the seeds were sown.
If you water too much, will the white radish seeds be drowned?
How much water is appropriate?
As a newbie in farming, Zhou Mo had many unclear questions. Fortunately, she had a system.
She grabbed the kettle, held the tilt in her hand as much as possible, and poured it slowly bit by bit. It wasn't until she poured water on the location of the first seed seven times that the system beeped.
"Watering successfully!"
Zhou Mo said "Yeah" happily and continued to pour the second seed.
"Watering successfully!"
"Watering successfully!"
While pouring, she summarized her experience, and her speed gradually increased.
After pouring the water and putting the kettle back in place, Zhou Mo looked at the words displayed on the five small pits and felt quite accomplished.
"Countdown to maturity: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 6 seconds."
"Countdown to maturity: 23 hours, 58 minutes and 22 seconds."
…
The white radish in this pastoral system can be cooked in one day, it's amazing!
I wonder what it will look like and whether it will taste particularly good?
Really been waiting!
Zhou Mo was quite satisfied with her first farming performance.
She clapped her hands, cleaned the floating dust off her hands, clicked on the system light curtain, exited the farm, and returned to the train toilet.
After hurriedly washing her hands, Zhou Mo opened the toilet door and returned to her seat.
Yang Xiaoyan asked: "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Uh, long time? Why don't you just say you're in the big size?
Zhou Mo:...
Forget it, she didn't bring any paper.
"I felt a little dizzy, so I squatted for a while, but then my legs became numb again, so I came out so slowly."
I had to use this as an excuse.
Yang Xiaoyan felt distressed and anxious at the same time. She said, "I told you to rest for a few days before taking the train. You have to leave today. Is it still possible? If it really doesn't work, can we get off at the next stop?"
Zhou Mo patted his mouth and said why did she say she was dizzy? Even if she was really dizzy, she couldn't say it, which made her mother anxious.
"I just fainted for a moment, and now I'm fine with nothing. Really! You don't have to get off the bus in the middle. It's only a dozen hours of driving in total, and it's already been so long. Just keep persisting and we'll get there."
Yang Xiaoyan still remembered the doctor's words, looked at the gauze on Zhou Mo's wound, then reached out to touch Zhou Mo's forehead, and said, "Then if you feel uncomfortable, tell mother, you know?"
Zhou Mo nodded obediently: "Okay!"
"How about you lie down on the table and squint for a while. You basically didn't sleep last night. It might make you feel better if you squint for a while. I'll bring you some thick clothes to cushion you."
"Um."
Yang Xiaoyan took out a velvet sweatshirt from the canvas bag at her feet, folded it a few times, and placed it on the table in front of Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo lay down on it, and before closing her eyes, she said, "Mom, you haven't slept for the past few days. You should also sleep for a while."
Yang Xiaoyan nodded, and after Zhou Mo closed her eyes, she also leaned on the backrest and closed her eyes gently.
But not long after closing her eyes, she opened them again and turned her face to the window, as if she was admiring the scenery outside, but she seemed not to see anything.
She had tried not to think about it, but as soon as she closed her eyes, those questions of "how could it be", "why" and "why" would still come over and over again, darkly intertwined with each other, and intertwined into a dark and heavy... The net covered her heart.
Then, just open your eyes, look at the scenery, think about your parents, think about your children, think about the future...
Zhou Mo looked at Yang Xiaoyan quietly for a long time.
Zhou Mo didn't feel relieved until she was sure that although the starlight in her mother's eyes was still dim, it had not been extinguished, but had a tendency to slowly light up.
Slowly, she really fell asleep.
Zhou Mo slept for nearly two hours.
Yang Xiaoyan finally regained the confidence to live well and fell asleep leaning on the backrest.
The waiter who sells box lunches on the train is looking for customers in the aisle: "It's time to eat. Do you want any box lunches?"
In her sleep, Zhou Mo received the keyword "eat, lunch" and suddenly woke up. Her stomach rumbled.
Well...
She is hungry! Her mother hasn't eaten for a few meals either, so she must be hungry too.
"I want two box lunches!"
After Zhou Mo finished speaking to the waiter, she turned around and pushed Yang Xiaoyan gently and said, "Mom, I want two box lunches."
Yang Xiaoyan reacted and quickly paid, saying to the waiter: "Thank you!"
The waiter had a smile on his face, nodded slightly to Yang Xiaoyan, pushed the cart and continued to sell.
Zhou Mo put a lunch box in front of Yang Xiaoyan, opened the lid for her, broke open the disposable chopsticks, rubbed the tips of the two chopsticks together, and handed them to Yang Xiaoyan.
"Mom, please eat quickly. The food will be cold in a while."
"Well, you should eat quickly too."
After Yang Xiaoyan finished speaking, she held up her chopsticks and sighed.
"In these years, I have been busy selling fruits during the day and taking care of your dad at night, and I have rarely paid attention to your growth.
Your dad is in charge of issues such as whether you did your homework and how your test scores were, and your dad also attends parent-teacher conferences.
Later, your dad was diagnosed with an illness and became very clingy. I had no choice but to put down the fruit stand and take care of your dad wholeheartedly.
Before I knew it, my daughter had grown so big and cared about me, and even handed me rice and chopsticks..."
Yang Xiaoyan's feelings are very complicated. She feels guilty for neglecting her daughter, but also feels relieved that "my daughter has grown up." Generally speaking, the latter will account for a larger proportion.
