Grasp the farming script in the famous book

When Roland mentioned the lime, it was like poking Amy's old scar again.

At the beginning, limes were popular in Emmy's school, but the teacher at the school declared limes to be prohibited.

In order to save face, Amy borrowed her sister's money and bought twelve limes to take to school, but she was reported by her classmates for being too "rich", and the limes were confiscated on the spot. The teacher slapped his palm, was fined to stand, and lost all face...

Amy probably never wants to see Lime again in her life, who knows that her sister would ask her that.

Amy was very aggrieved immediately, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Of course it's still popular. This kind of snacks are selling well in stores."

The result was answered by Laurie.

"It doesn't have to be limes, other snacks that are sour and sweet are very marketable."

"Thank you, Laurie."

Roland saw Amy drooping her head, looking pitiful, with a soft heart, pretending to remember just now, and said, "By the way, Aunt March said she didn't want to hear me read to her anymore, and she asked if you would like to read to her." interest, go to read to her every afternoon.”

Amy's eyes widened immediately, and she looked at Roland in disbelief.

She is so smart, she must have thought that if Roland didn't give in on purpose, it would be impossible for Aunt March to surpass Roland and choose the youngest girl in the family to take care of her.

"Then I'll reply to Aunt March, saying that you don't want to go, huh? You didn't pay much attention to the pocket money that Auntie wanted to give you."

Roland deliberately teased Amy.

Laurie cooperated with Roland and nodded deliberately, indicating that the pocket money is really nothing.

Amy was terrified, and hugged Roland's arm when she came up, and quickly explained: "No, no, I want to go, Joe, don't be like this..."

Seeing that Amy was so frightened, Roland stopped teasing her: "Okay, then it's settled. You will go to my aunt's house with me tomorrow afternoon."

Amy still couldn't understand why Aunt March didn't want the second sister to read for her, but the second sister would still go with her to the aunt's house.

Is it just to send her there?

When she got to her aunt's mansion, Amy realized that the second sister actually "contracted" Aunt March's orchard.

In this way, while Amy was sitting beside Aunt March, reading aloud with swaying voice, Roland was in the orchard outside, checking the condition of the fruit trees, loosening the soil, removing insects, and tying a circle Another circle of straw rope ensures that they will not be frostbitten in the severe winter.

By the time Roland and Esther returned to the house to rest, Amy was proudly reading aloud in French to Aunt March.

Roland wanted to laugh when he heard her immature French pronunciation.She really wanted to tell Amy: "Paris accent" is really not the same as "artificial" accent, and you will know it if you have the opportunity to go to Paris.

When Amy's French finally put Aunt March to sleep, Amy tiptoed to see what Roland was doing, only to find that Roland and Esther were studying all kinds of pickled snacks in the kitchen, except limes, There are also sour plums, sour kumquats, pickled ginger... There is even a strange dried peach pickled with salt, sugar, and unknown spices.

Amy: It seems to have opened the door to a new world.

Roland was very generous, she let Amy taste whatever Amy wanted to try.

Amy would sometimes grin her teeth from the soreness, feeling that her teeth were going to be soft, but Roland didn't care at all, and even took out a small notebook to write down Amy's reaction.

The second sister is using me as a guinea pig, Amy thought.

But Roland didn't seem to have any psychological burden at all. She wrote it down and said seriously: "When the formulas of our products are determined, you will have as many limes as you want."

The corner of Amy's mouth twitched, and she cried out silently in her heart: Joe, please, can you stop mentioning limes?

Roland continued: "Your friends will find that you have not only tasted all the most fashionable snacks, but also can talk about their recipes and allusions with relish..."

Roland knew that this little sister had the strongest vanity, so he used this method to "follow what he likes" and let her be his "taster" willingly. As for the recipes and allusions, each of these snacks has its origin Well, some even hook up with famous people.

Thinking of this, Roland was taken aback for a moment. She was thinking: Maybe she could write a book to record the recipes of these snacks and the allusions behind them?

But then she denied herself again: Will anyone watch this?

In this era, people who make these snacks should not read books, and people who read books should disdain to read these recipes and allusions.

In such a distraction, Amy tasted the dried peaches again, and told her feelings truthfully.Roland quickly wrote it down again.

She knew it well: the rift between Jo and Amy was always there, and if it was not mentioned, it would stay there quietly until old age.

But it doesn't make sense for any of them to mention this past event, because they will all be sisters in this life, and this blood relationship cannot be changed or broken.

"Seeking common ground while reserving differences" may be the highest criterion for adults when getting along.

At this moment, my aunt's sharp voice suddenly came from the living room outside the kitchen: "Joseph-Fen, Joseph-Fen!"

The three people in the kitchen were all in a daze.

Roland quickly winked at Amy, who hurried to the living room with her skirt in hand.

Sure enough, the voice from the living room paused, and suddenly started shouting: "Ai-mei, Ai-mei!"

Amy panicked and ran faster.

Roland prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his aunt would not deduct Amy's pocket money because of this, otherwise the little guy would blame her again...

The days went by like this day by day.As the winter approached, letters from Washington revealed the cheering news to the whole family that Mr. March's condition was improving day by day.

The sisters of the March family were all in a good mood, but suddenly a thunderbolt came.

Beth contracted scarlet fever.

As to how Beth contracted scarlet fever, Roland was puzzled.

Of the four March daughters, the elder two, Meg and Jo, had all had scarlet fever as children.The lesser Beth and Emmy failed.

Therefore Roland is very cautious in these matters.After she heard that there was another case of scarlet fever in the city recently, she told Beth and Amy not to go out casually, and even if they had to go out, they should try to go to a few familiar families as much as possible.

Beth often visited the poor family Hummel's, but Roland refused to let her go, but Roland and Meg took turns to visit.

Scarlet fever, like other diseases, ravaged the city.For it, the poor are even more powerless to resist.Roland has personally witnessed many children contracting this disease. Those who can survive it will be immune for life, and will no longer be afraid of this disease. If they cannot survive...

Witnessing death is a terrifying thing—even on the planes.

Roland sighed silently.

But she never thought that Beth, who was carefully protected, also contracted the disease.

The March family sprang into action.Amy was sent to Aunt March's house, which was a kind of physical isolation.Aunt March naturally muttered again, disgusted with the March family's frequent contact with the poor and various criticisms.

Roland guessed that Amy must have suffered a lot at her aunt's house, and felt very sympathetic to her.But there was no way, they couldn't keep Amy with Beth.

She put down all the work at hand, and said hello to the bakery and barber shop, saying that there was a sick person at home who needed to be taken care of.

Meg, too, could not be a governess under the circumstances.

Roland looked after Beth most of the time, with Meg and Hannah running the house.

Sometimes Meg would replace Roland, let her go to rest for a while, and let her relax for a while, so that she would not bear such a heavy burden and psychological pressure.

Roland also felt that she was too depressed, so she went to the attic without saying a word, leaving herself there alone.

Sitting there, she could seem to see the March girls gathering together in this attic, rehearsing scenes of their plays.

But she could no longer see the gentle and charming Meg, herself who always loved women in disguise, and the petite and lovely Amy, she could only see Beth, who almost always played a supporting role, hiding silently behind her sisters Beth.

Beth was such a shy girl that she didn't even dare to go to school, so she could only stay at home and be educated by her parents.But although she is shy, she has a good popularity that others cannot match——

Everyone in the neighborhood loves Beth:

Mr. Lawrence graciously opened his long-unused grand piano, and Beth was welcome to play at any time;

Laurie never spared Beth's praise, and praised her talents;

And those who have been helped by her selflessly, when they see Beth, a shy little girl, they can't help but smile on their faces...

Roland couldn't help thinking: In fact, she herself is also. Although she hasn't entered this plane for a long time, she can always feel Beth's heart that is as pure as crystal.

She could not understand why Beth, the innocent and kindest of them all, should be in such a miserable state.

She couldn't bear to see this little girl suffering from a high fever alone, tossing and turning on the couch, delirious, talking delirium...

"No!" Roland said in her heart, she had to find a way, she absolutely couldn't just stand by and watch Beth suffer.

She had just thought of this when she suddenly felt the floor in the attic move.

When Roland turned his head, he saw a black-and-white cow cat leaping onto the floor of the attic and walking towards her.

When it got close, Mao Mao uttered words and called softly: "Lan Lan!"

Roland opened his arms and let her "broker cat" jump into her arms.

"Luna—"

The kitten opened a pair of pink front paws, patted Roland's cheek lightly, and said apologetically, "Lan Lan, I'm here to see you."

Roland suddenly remembered that she needed Luna just now.

"You came at the right time. I need you to help me negotiate with the producer. I want to use my 'universal card'."

The "Universal Card" is the "trophy" Roland got from the previous plane, but the use of this universal card requires the consent of the plane.

Luna shook Mao Mao's head, and said to Roland helplessly: "Lan Lan, this is a universal card. I suggest you not use it until the most critical moment."

"But……"

Roland couldn't understand, "Do I have to watch my sister suffer this kind of torture with my own eyes, but I can only stand by?"

"Farming players" can't wait to have "medical superpowers" at the moment.

"But Lan Lan, you are already doing everything possible to take good care of Beth. We are all very touched from outside the plane..."

What the little kitty told was the truth. Roland took care of his sister with all his heart these few days, and all the audience outside the plane saw it.

"and also,"

At this time, Roland uttered the most important question in her mind.

"I remember very clearly, I must have read the original book. But after entering the plane, I only have a hazy impression in my heart..."

"Lan Lan," the agent cat said with a look of shame on his face, if cats could have expressions.

"This is indeed the producer of the plane..."

The producer blocked part of Roland's memory of the original work.

"More than that," Roland interrupted her bluntly, "even so, I roughly remember that Beth seems to have gotten sick because of taking care of a child with scarlet fever."

"So, who can tell me, in my plane, where did Beth get the disease from?"

"Ugh--"

The agent cat sighed deeply, and only explained to Roland: "But Lan Lan, this is life."

Isn't this just like life, the purest and most beautiful soul is often the most vulnerable; tomorrow or an accident, I don't know which one will come first...

No matter how hard Roland tried, Beth would suffer from this illness—because this is a book, this is a plot that has already been written, like a life whose destiny has been written in advance.

Roland thought for a while, and then asked Luna: "Before I left last time, you told me that I basically can't do anything in the plane - is that what you mean? As long as it is the plot written in the original book, it will not happen. In me, I can't make a big change?"

Luna didn't speak, just nodded.

- good fellow!

Roland shouted in his heart.

But she had calmed down from the previous emotional ups and downs. At this time, she reached out and stroked the cat's head, and asked softly: "Luna, how are you? Are you busy recently? Have you worked overtime?"

Luna seemed very touched, she shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no, it's okay...it's usually busy!"

"I came here just to tell you that the store in this plane seems to be on fire again..."

Sponge cakes, limes, sour kumquats, applesauce, and apple puree of the same style as "Little Women"...haven't been on the market in the plane yet, but they have already become popular outside the plane.

The producer of the plane naturally hopes that Roland can create more delicacies in the plane, so that the business outside the plane can also flourish.

Unexpectedly, Roland sat on the floor, hugged his knees, and said to Luna: "I've been in the plane for so long, and I've actually realized something a long time ago, but I haven't told you about it—"

"Money is for people."

"If I can't protect the important people, no matter how much money I make, no matter how great my achievements are, and I'm the only one left in the end, it's not necessarily happiness."

She explained herself to this point, and she has completely made up her mind.

She turned her head to look at the light sunlight coming in from the window, and said to Luna: "Well, please tell the planner, I will follow their advice, and I will not use this 'Master Card' unless it is absolutely necessary. "

"However, please also understand the producer. When I judge that I really need this card, please don't stop me."

"Otherwise I'll quit."

Roland spoke softly, but he was extremely firm.

Maomao immediately stood in awe——

Roland is no longer the rookie who just set foot in the "Famous Book Plane". She is now mature and powerful, so she can have the right to speak when "fighting wits and courage" with the producer.

This is a single-player plane, and the only player in it is Roland.If she quit, it would be equivalent to the end of the plane, so even if the producer had the guts to refuse Roland's request, it probably wouldn't be able to do so.

"However, Lan Lan, I still want to remind you of one small thing."

"Do you really want to use the wild card at this juncture?"
