[1950s] [Spirit Spring Space] [Raising Kids While Following Her Husband to the Army] [Reborn] [Mutual Devotion] [Agricultural Expert]
After her husband goes off to war, Du Chunfang and their two children stay behind at home.
She never expects a famine to strike later, or for her husband to vanish without a trace.
Everyone in the village says Gu Zhongmin died on the battlefield.
When the famine breaks out, even the bark has been stripped from the trees. With nowhere else to turn, Du Chunfang takes her two children and flees in search of food.
Her eldest son starves to death trying to save a mouthful of steamed bun for his little sister.
Du Chunfang and her daughter finally make it to the outskirts of a People's Liberation Army camp, only to be on the verge of starving to death before they can receive relief grain.
Reborn, she returns to the time before the famine and resolves to protect her two children this time.
By chance, she awakens a Spirit Plant System, and from then on, she has more grain than she can eat.
But with everyone starving and gaunt, Du Chunfang and her children don't dare eat too openly. Left with no choice, they follow the crowd and set out on the road to flee famine once more.
Gu Zhongmin survives the battlefield against all odds, and when he suddenly sees the boy and girl, he can hardly recognize them.
His wife has grown into her looks and become beautiful. Somehow, she's even healed his legs, which doctors had said were beyond help.
Word spreads throughout the military district that Commander Gu went out on a support mission and came back with his wife and children.
No one expected his village girl wife to be so capable, either. Whatever she plants grows, and she can even grow grain in the cracks between bricks.
Though she never went to college, she builds her own team and leads university students in experiments cultivating grain crops.
The grain varieties she develops fill the people's stomachs.
Before long, she's in the newspapers and on the radio.
When the leaders of the capital meet her in person, they realize she looks oddly familiar.
I found a good book, five stars!!!
