Chapter 14: Another Use of the Space

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sun Mei patted her mouth in frustration. She was really muddle-headed from anger. Why did she scold someone in front of the child? It seemed that she had been with Sun Liuniang for too long recently and was influenced by her.

She walked over and slapped Zhao Zhitong’s butt. “You don’t learn from the good, but you learn from the bad.”

Zhao Zhitong was not afraid at all. “Mother, Eldest Aunt sold her child. She’s a bad person. Grandpa Bai said that bad people can be scolded.”

“Grandpa Bai? Which grandpa?”

Zhao Zhitong replied, “My good friend.”

Sun Mei and her husband didn’t know that Grandpa Bai was in the space. When they heard what Zhao Zhitong said, they assumed that he was Meng Xuejiu.

“Nonsense. What friend? You have to call him Sir. Also, his surname is Meng. Hurry up and go back to eat. Look at your noodles.”

The noodles that had been cooked in the morning were almost done. After dinner, Sun Mei began to plate the noodles and prepare steamed buns.

Zhao Zhitong squatted beside the vegetable field in the courtyard, staring at the seedlings and chattering non-stop.

“Vegetables grow quickly. When you grow up, I can eat you.”

“Why are you growing so slowly? I’m getting anxious from waiting.”

When Sun Mei came out of the kitchen, she saw Zhao Zhitong squatting in the vegetable field, talking to herself.

He said helplessly, “Even if you keep an eye on it, it can’t grow up in an instant. If you want to eat it, we’ll go up the mountain and dig some wild vegetables back. Mother will cook vegetable wraps, okay?”

Zhao Zhitong swung her arms and refused to give up. “But I really want to eat them today.”

“Let me tell you, it’s useless even if you act coquettishly. The vegetables won’t suddenly grow up. If we don’t have them, then we don’t have them. If you continue to jump around the vegetable garden, the vegetables will be trampled by you. Wait for your father to come back and beat you up.”

No matter what, this wretched girl refused to leave the vegetable field.

Sun Mei could not be bothered with her anymore. She turned around and entered the kitchen.

She had to start from when Sun Mei wanted to steam the buns. For some reason, Zhao Zhitong said that she wanted to eat vegetable wraps. Vegetable wraps were vegetable rolls.

However, there were not many vegetables at home. It was not even time to eat the vegetables in the vegetable garden. Sun Mei would definitely not be able to make them for her.

She couldn’t possibly go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables now.

Although Sun Mei and her husband doted on Zhao Zhitong, they did not spoil her. They would not agree to their child’s unreasonable requests unconditionally.

Zhao Zhitong started to argue with the seedlings in the vegetable garden. “Why are the vegetables growing so slowly? Are you hungry? What do we eat?”

At this moment, Grandpa Bai’s eyes lit up as if he had seen hope.

“Girl, do you know another magical use of space?”

Zhao Zhitong was paying attention to the seedlings. When she heard Grandpa Bai’s question, she shook her head absent-mindedly.

“Then, do you still remember what I told you before? That space can grow plants.”

Zhao Zhitong nodded casually. “I remember. However, Grandpa Bai said that it’s so difficult to become a person of great merit. I can’t do it.”

“Sigh, girl, everything can’t be done overnight. Xun Zi said, ‘Accumulate soil to form a mountain, and wind and rain will rise; accumulate water to form an abyss, and the flood dragon will be born. Accumulate good and achieve virtue, and the gods will be aware.”

Zhao Zhitong looked confused. “I don’t understand.”

“It means that mountains are piled up bit by bit. That sea is formed by the accumulation of drops of water. If you do good for a long time, you will form a noble moral character. Since ancient times, the Sages have done it bit by bit from small matters.”

Zhao Zhitong asked, “Who are the Sages?”

“Sages are the kind of people with the highest morals and the highest intelligence. The most classic is Confucius. He is a person of virtue and prestige. He knows how to do things and is the most kind. He is talented and praised by the world. His thoughts can affect the entire country and even the world in the future.”

Zhao Zhitong was so engrossed in listening that her eyes sparkled. She had completely forgotten about the vegetable wraps. “Wow, a Sage is so amazing. Then I’ll become a Sage like Confucius in the future.”

Grandpa Bai was speechless. This girl really dared to say it.

“Ahem.” In the end, he coughed and hurriedly changed the topic. “So, girl, your daily kindness will become your merit.

“After a long period of accumulation, spiritual springs will appear in the space. Crops bred from spiritual spring water are very sweet and fragrant. More importantly, they can increase the nutrition of the crops and speed up their growth.”

Zhao Zhitong was dumbfounded by the sudden change of topic. She was still immersed in the greatness of a saint when Grandpa Bai suddenly mentioned the Spiritual Spring Water.

However, she still used his consciousness to look around the space, but she did not find any spring water. “Spiritual spring? Where is it?”

Grandpa Bai said, “Here, here.”

Zhao Zhitong looked in Grandpa Bai’s direction, but she still didn’t see it. “Where? Where?”

Grandpa Bai said, “Look at your feet.”

Hearing Grandpa Bai’s words, Zhao Zhitong looked down and saw a small puddle…

That’s right, it was a small puddle the size of the bowl she ate in.

Zhao Zhitong squatted beside the puddle and looked left and right. Why was it different from what she knew?

“Grandpa Bai, is this spring water? Isn’t this a small puddle?”

Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and smiled happily. “Hey, girl, remember not to judge a book by its cover. No matter how small the spring water is, it’s still a spring. Now, mix this spring water into the well water and water it in the vegetable field.”

“Ok.”

Zhao Zhitong listened to Grandpa Bai and filled a small bowl with spiritual spring water from her space. She poured half a bowl into the wooden basin and scooped some well water from the water tank to mix it.

The ancient basin was a wooden basin made of thick planks. Now she filled it with water. It was very heavy.

Zhao Zhitong could only take the ladle and scoop it up. She jogged to the vegetable field, scattered it, and ran back to scoop more.

Just like that, she ran back and forth countless times. Her little face was so tired that it was red. Only then did she finish watering the vegetable field.

Zhao Zhitong, who was panting from exhaustion, sat beside the vegetable field and started to stare at the seedlings that had just been watered.

Sun Mei, who was in the kitchen, looked at the small person who was silently busy in the courtyard and laughed.

Her daughter had always been her pride. She was smart and sensible.

If she threw a tantrum and wanted something, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei felt that they shouldn’t buy it. After rejecting her, she would be unhappy, but she wouldn’t cry unreasonably and wouldn’t stop until they bought it.

Instead, she would think of a way to obtain it herself.

Just like now, that diligent little figure made her heart soften. She thought that she should be thick-skinned and go to Sun Liu’s family’s vegetable field later to borrow some vegetables.

At this moment, Zhao Zhitong, who was by the vegetable garden, stared at the vegetables and started to be dissatisfied. “Why haven’t you grown taller?”

Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, “Don’t be anxious, girl. Don’t be anxious. There has to be a process for everything. You have to be calm when you encounter something to succeed.”

Zhao Zhitong was confused.

She felt that Grandpa Bai was starting to become unfathomable again.
