Overnight, the vegetable garden underwent a visible and tremendous transformation. Those who have spent time in the countryside know that the growth of crops is relatively stable each day; if you watch them every day, you won't notice any change; it's only when you check back every three to five days that you can appreciate the transformation. However, it seemed as if Liu's vegetable garden had undergone a supernatural change overnight. The tomatoes, previously half-green and half-red, had turned a bright red, hanging on the branches that had grown considerably thicker, like so many red lanterns.

The thumb-thick cucumbers seemed to have inflated as if they were inflated, with their tips adorned with flowers and thorns, looking exceptionally tempting. Those dryland water spinach plants, which had become a bit wilted due to the recent hot weather, now stood upright, their dew-covered leaves tender beyond compare, a world of difference from yesterday. Loofah, gourds, eggplants, mustard greens, and so on, all the vegetables seemed to have taken stimulants, fully displaying the vitality of life. Originally, Liu's vegetable garden could only be considered average, but now the garden has become a jaw-dropping existence. Slightly dazed, Liu Rui took a few steps forward and could no longer resist reaching out to pick a mouth-watering tomato. He casually wiped off the frost on it and took a bite of the pale red, juicy flesh. Anyway, the vegetables in the yard had not been fertilized with chemical fertilizers or treated with pesticides, so naturally, there were no heavy metal residues, pesticide residues, and so on. 'Mmm,' a coolness immediately penetrated the throat. This tomato had no hint of sourness or bitterness, but instead carried a sweet fragrance, tasting very good. His throat, which had been a bit dry in the morning, now felt as smooth as if it had been oiled. It seemed that these tomatoes had not only mutated but had actually become tastier. Could it be that after being watered with spring water from the space, these things would taste better? If that's really the case, this space is indeed a good thing! After making such a discovery, Liu Rui became even moreI'm looking forward to it。excited about the Divine Farmer's Space. 'Rui'er, did you water the vegetable garden with urea water yesterday afternoon?'

Standing behind Liu Rui, Zhang Guizhi looked at the transformed vegetable garden with a face full of worry. Normally, a vegetable garden filled with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables would be a good thing, but in the countryside, it might not be, because there's no market for it. There's plenty of land in the countryside, and every household has its own vegetable garden, producing more than enough for their own consumption. Who would go to the street to buy vegetables? When farmers from Qingyun Town go to town, they might buy some pork or tofu to improve their meals, but why would they buy vegetables? Looking at the lush vegetable garden before her, Zhang Guizhi instinctively thought that Liu Rui had watered the plants with urea solution, and she felt a bit sorry for the wasted urea. 'Mom, do you think I'm that clueless?' Liu Rui said with a smile while biting into a tomato: 'Probably the farmyard manure I applied a while ago is taking effect.' Hearing Liu Rui say this, Zhang Guizhi finally felt relieved, but looking at the ripe vegetables, her face soon clouded over with worry again. 'There's so much vegetables, we can't eat them all, and they'll go bad in a couple of days, what a pity!' 'Mom, it's okay!' Liu Rui stuffed the last bite of tomato into his mouth and said indistinctly: 'Go wake up the two little ones to help me pick the vegetables, I'll take them to the county town to sell later, and do some errands on the way!' It's not even six o'clock yet, if we hurry, we should be able to arrive at the county town before nine, which isIt happens to be the peak period for city dwellers to go to the market to buy groceries and cook。 Liu Family Distillery brews 100 pounds of rice，You can obtain over 200 kilograms of low alcohol rice wine，And it will take two or three days to sell out。

exactly the peak time when city folks go to the market to buy vegetables and cook. Liu's Winery can produce more than two hundred pounds of low-alcohol rice wine from brewing a hundred pounds of rice, which then takes two or three days to sell out.

In order to minimize the unsold rice wine and alleviate financial pressure, Liu Rui usually only fired up the stove to brew every other day. Today, Liu Rui had originally planned to go to town for errands, pick some vegetables to sell, and exchange them for some cash to subsidize the family expenses. After being awakened, the two little ones, upon hearing that they were going to pick vegetables and sell them in town, didn't complain and, without even washing their faces, each took a small basket into the vegetable garden. Children of the poor learn to manage the household early! At their age, city kids probably can't even distinguish between rice and wheat, but Liu Zhi and Tongtong, without needing any prompting from adults, knew which vegetables in the garden were ripe and which could be left for a few more days. The siblings patrolled along the vegetable beds, and upon seeing ripe vegetables, they skillfully picked them and filled a basket, then carried it to the yard for Zhang Guizhi to organize, neatly arranging them in the big cart's bed. Cucumbers, tomatoes, loofah, beans, and water spinach—the vegetables in the garden yielded a harvest of a little over ten pounds to more than twenty pounds, quickly filling both cart beds. Finally, Zhang Guizhi took out more than fifty accumulated native chicken eggs from the chicken coop and packed them into the front basket of the 29-inch Forever bicycle. After a hasty breakfast, Liu Rui pushed the bike out the door and headed to the county town to sell the vegetables. Over a hundred pounds of vegetables were packed into two cart beds, supported on racks on the back seat of the bicycle, plus several pounds of eggs in the front basket, making it quite difficult to maneuver.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be quite commendable to simply stand firm and hold on without moving. However, Liu Rui could still walk steadily on the rugged mountain path. This is the skill cultivated through training.

The countryside in the early morning is beautiful!

The early - rising little birds chirped merrily on the treetops. Their pleasant sounds seemed to make people's mood much better; a gentle breeze blew, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the fresh smell of grass and trees, making people feel relaxed and happy; the rising sun scattered thousands of gold coins on the small Mirror Lake, dazzling people for a while.

The only regret was that this road was really a bit bad. Not only could Liu Rui not increase his speed, but he also had to get off the vehicle and push it every now and then, which gave a sense of "the vehicle riding the person" rather than the other way round.

This was also an unavoidable situation. Qingyun Town had become a corner forgotten by the county and the city. It was neither favored by the grandmother nor loved by the uncle. There were no minerals here, and the lush mountains under the policy of closing mountains for afforestation couldn't be used for logging. Improving the traffic conditions was just an empty talk.

After a great deal of hardship, Liu Rui finally arrived at the dock on the edge of Qingyun Town. There, he queued up with the villagers, waiting for the ferry to come, taking the boat across the river, and then they could rush to the county town along the secondary road.

At this time, most of the villagers who entered the city, except for a few, were like Liu Rui, sending the vegetables and eggs that couldn't be eaten at home to sell in the city in exchange for some money for oil and salt.

It's just that their presence wasn't as significant as Liu Rui's, and their appearance was quite ordinary. Amidst a group of uncles and aunts, Liu Rui stood out conspicuously. There was no helping it; most people his age were reluctant to come to the city to sell vegetables, feeling that it was a loss of face. Villagers who didn't recognize Liu Rui would quietly inquire about this young man from those around them. Those who knew Liu Rui would introduce his situation in hushed tones, and soon, more and more people on the dock began to gaze at Liu Rui.

Villagers with daughters or relatives of similar age started to ponder whether they should take the opportunity to play matchmaker for Liu Rui. The young man was tall and strong, full of vigor, and what was even more rare was that he was hardworking; his character seemed to have no issues! The only drawback was that his family was a bit poor, with parents in poor health and two younger siblings who were still in school. If their own daughters married into his family, they might have to endure a period of hardship!

Don't find it strange; in the countryside, many people's first reaction upon seeing a quality young man is often like this. In rural areas, an eighteen or twenty-year-old can already be the pillar of the family. They date, get engaged, and once they reach the legal age, they get a marriage certificate. Early on, having grandchildren is a simple wish for many rural people.

Liu Rui naturally didn't know that he had become the focus of everyone's calculations. He occasionally nodded and greeted the villagers he knew, while looking forward eagerly to the ferry across the Tongjiang River. After about a quarter of an hour, the iron-hulled diesel ferry, belching thick smoke, finally lurched and docked at the pier.

Everyone seemed a bit eager to board the ship, and for a moment, the dock was in a flurry of activity.
