BXBX NOVEL Chapter 226 - 226 Being Strong Was the Hard Truth!
The navel orange was an autumn and winter fruit.
It was usually planted in early February and late March, usually after germination and before the shoots; those intended for autumn and winter harvest might be planted in September and October, but special attention should be paid to moisturization.
It would bloom in March every year.
!!
In April, small navel oranges would begin to grow.
From April to October, the second half of the year was the growth period of the navel oranges. During this period, the fruit would slowly grow day by day, precipitating the sugar and accumulating nutrition.
In September and October, it would begin to turn yellow and mature.
By the end of October, most of the fruits would have ripened.
However, there might be many green skins. In order to make the taste of the navel orange more intense and the orange fragrance more fragrant, it could not be picked at this time. It had to be kept on the fruit tree for more than a week before the navel orange could be considered truly ripe.
It bloomed once a year and bore fruit once a year!
However, after the seedlings were planted, they usually bore fruit after three years.
After Gu Qingming planted the seedlings in the space, according to the ratio of time in the outside world to the space, it would take three months for the orange in the space to bear fruit.
Of course, the environment of the space plantation was completely different from the outside world.
There was spirit spring water here that could revive the dead and cleanse the marrow.
There were spaces that can change the desired environment with the species.
Elements would spontaneously transform into the nutrients needed by such a species! Well, in general, it was a huge golden finger of the plant type!
Gu Qingming looked at the seedlings that had already been planted and asked Kong Xingfan, “According to the time, we should be able to pick navel oranges in a month, right?”
Kong Xingfan nodded. “Yes, that’s right!”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “I heard from Uncle that the navel oranges on the mountain will be picked in a month! At that time, it won’t seem too abrupt to take out the navel oranges from the space!”
Kong Xingfan said, “But there’s definitely a difference in taste! Uncle’s navel oranges are also top-notch in terms of taste. But you should be clear about the navel orange in the space. The taste must be even better. How are you going to explain it to Uncle and the others then?”
After all, in this place, not many people could grow a navel orange better than Uncle!
It would not be very useful to use the excuse for bringing out pumpkins in the past, and it would be even more suspicious.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle and the others won’t ask me about the origins of these things!”
No one was stupid. The things she took out from time to time tasted different from the rest. They definitely had doubts in their hearts, but everyone tacitly did not ask!
Kong Xingfan did not quite understand.
Puzzled, he asked, “Why? Why wouldn’t they ask?”
Gu Qingming said with a serious expression, “This is the result of trust and love between families!”
Because they knew that she wouldn’t hurt them, they naturally didn’t need to suspect anything!
They trusted her unconditionally!
As for suspicion?
There might be some doubts. After all, everyone was curious!
However, they did not ask because they knew that everyone had their own secrets!
They knew that if Gu Qingming did not tell them the origin of these things, it must involve a certain secret!
Since it was a secret, she naturally wouldn’t announce it!
Kong Xingfan could not understand such sentiments!
It asked again, “I believe that your grandparents and uncles are related to you by blood and really dote on you, but your sisters-in-law don’t have such a deep relationship with you, right?”
All these years, it had witnessed the complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and sister-in-law!
Perhaps it was true that their aunts doted on Gu Qingming. After all, they had watched Gu Qingming grow up and had a good relationship with their only sister-in-law!
However, her sisters-in-law had only been married for a few years and had not seen Gu Qingming many times. She had not even seen her third sister-in-law once.
They had never seen each other before, nor had they known each other, let alone interacted with each other. How could they really love Gu Qingming!
No matter what kind of relationship it was, it needed time to be appraised and developed into kinship and bond!
These sisters-in-law doted on Gu Qingming since their husbands did so.
If something happened to their relationship midway, it was hard to say what the consequences would be!
Of course, Gu Qingming had considered Kong Xingfan’s doubts!
But there was no need for her to be afraid!
Her secret of the space was not exposed to anyone. They might know that there might be a secret, but they would not think that such a mysterious thing existed in space!
If something really happened to her brothers and sisters-in-law one day, she believed that her brothers would handle it well!
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Let’s talk about the future later!”
After saying that, she patted the little fairy’s head and continued with a smile, “You, don’t think so much for the time being! Your head is already small. If you continue to think about it, you’ll become even more stupid!”
Kong Xingfan said unwillingly, “But Master, the human heart is unpredictable!”
Perhaps her brothers doted on her now, but they also had their own children. If one day, a huge benefit was placed in front of them, the balance of their relationship would definitely tilt to one side. Of course, that side would be their wives and children!
As for this sister, she was their cousin. Their relationship was definitely not that deep!
Therefore, if the secret of the space on Gu Qingming’s body was exposed one day and they saw the existence of huge benefits, the authenticity of those feelings would be hard to say!
Kong Xingfan was deeply worried!
...
Gu Qingming said helplessly, “Little Kong, since you need my help, you’ll have to expose something sooner or later! Instead of worrying about this and that, and being overcautious and afraid, why don’t we think about when your spatial mission will be completed? If you want to go home, we have to take such a risk! Or have you thought it through and don’t want to go home?”
Kong Xingfan was stunned.
It wanted to go home!
It had been wanting to go home for thousands of years. How could he not want to go home?
Then, it fell silent!
That’s right! It knew very well that it was a space fairy. The only thing it could rely on to go home was planting!
It required the outside world to exchange cultivation with the spatial species!
“That’s why children shouldn’t think so much! There’s always a way out when the time comes! If we’re exposed one day, I can bring my family to survive in your space world and avoid the fate of being sliced up. Then, I can spend a hundred or a thousand years in your space. Why not? Isn’t that right?”
Gu Qingming said, “Besides, I have an idea. When there’s a chance in the future, we have to cooperate with the country to be safe! It’s just that our opportunity isn’t ripe yet. When we’re strong enough, no one can touch us anymore!”
In any era, there was a rule: the weak would be defeated, and the strong would be respected! The strong preyed on the weak!
“Therefore, strength is the hard truth! At the moment, why should we guess the hearts of the people who are originally peaceful?”
...
Those were not threats at all!
They were just small fries.
