"Mom, Dad, come and sit down first!" Zhou Laidi coughed silently, trying to hide the smile that she could barely suppress.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat." Father Jiang quickly responded.

He was really hungry. Digging in the ground all afternoon had taken a toll on his energy, so he got hungry quickly.

"Eat up! I wonder when it will rain!" Jiang's mother said with some emotion.

The last rain only wet the surface layer of the ground; the soil underneath remained hard.

My hands went numb from digging this soil today countless times.

"Judging from this, it will take about ten days to half a month." Upon hearing this, Father Jiang looked up and glanced outside the courtyard.

Only a sliver of light remained outside, enough to make out a rough outline, and nothing more.

“This year is really strange. It snowed for so long. Logically, when the snow melts and gets into the ground, the ground should be wet and easier to dig. But this year is different. It’s hard to dig.” Jiang Zhuohua added.

He had used a lot of strength that afternoon, and now his arms were a little sore.

"Yes! I don't know what's wrong with this year." Jiang's mother picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and replied with some helplessness.

"Auntie, Auntie." Jiang Xing sat next to Jiang Anxia and reached out to tug at Jiang Anxia's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Anxia looked down.

Jiang Xing was looking at the rabbit meat with longing eyes, but because the bowl of rabbit meat was a bit far away from her, she couldn't reach it, so she asked her for help.

"Auntie will serve you some." Jiang Anxia chuckled and picked up a large piece of rabbit meat with her chopsticks for Jiang Xing.

"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Xing looked up and smiled sweetly at Jiang Anxia.

"Eat up! If there's anything you can't reach, just call your aunt." Jiang Anxia freed one hand and gently patted Jiang Xing's head.

"Okay." Jiang Xing nodded obediently, then lowered her head and ate her meal attentively.

After dinner, Jiang Anxia washed up and went back to her room.

She plans to tidy up the backyard and plant some vegetables after her mother and the others leave tomorrow.

After all, such a large piece of land would be a waste to leave it empty.

Besides, people are still allowed to have their own plots of land these days; otherwise, where would ordinary people get their vegetables?

Having made up her mind, Jiang Anxia flashed into the space.

They went to the place where they had originally planted the seeds and searched carefully.

Soon, Jiang Anxia found the vegetable seeds that were suitable for planting at this time of year.

Cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, etc.

In addition, Jiang Anxia also found watermelon and strawberry seeds. Of course, there were others, but Jiang Anxia was only interested in these two at the moment.

Jiang Anxia plans to plant these two fruits in her space, especially strawberries, so that she can achieve strawberry freedom.

Without hesitation, Jiang Anxia found a small hoe, loosened the soil in an open area, and then directly scattered the strawberry seeds on it, regardless of whether they were dense or not.

Jiang Anxia felt that this was only temporary, and that she would transplant the strawberry seedlings once they grew.

She couldn't possibly let the strawberry seedlings grow so densely together.

On one side of the strawberry field, Jiang Anxia dug a ditch and repeated the digging motion from before, but this time she was digging watermelon seeds.

After finishing these tasks, Jiang Anxia brought over a small bucket of water and poured it evenly over each item.

Then she left it alone. The main thing was that Jiang Anxia didn't need to worry about what she planted, because no matter how bad the seeds were, as long as they were planted in the space, there was an 80% chance they would germinate.

Therefore, Jiang Anxia felt no pressure at all.

Having finished what she needed to do, Jiang Anxia vanished from the space in a flash.

She's gotten used to going to bed early now, so she always yawns at nine o'clock every day.

Let's go to sleep! She doesn't stay up late, so her hair loss won't reach her.

Jiang Anxia pulled the blanket up, wrapped herself up tightly, closed her eyes, and went straight to sleep.

On the other side is the room of Jiang's father and mother.

"When will it rain heavily?" Father Jiang asked worriedly. If it doesn't rain, many things can't be planted.

"It should be soon. I checked the sky before it got dark, and it was overcast. We'll see when it starts to rain." Jiang's mother took off her coat and lay down next to Jiang's father.

With a pull of the blanket, half of Jiang's father's body was instantly gone.

Mr. Jiang pulled her back with a wronged expression and took the initiative to get close to Mrs. Jiang, their hands touching.

"Sigh~~" Father Jiang sighed deeply.

He'll always be like this in front of his wife; he can't change.

"Alright, go to sleep. Stop talking nonsense, I'm sleepy." After saying that, Jiang's mother closed her eyes, clearly not wanting to listen to Jiang's father anymore.

Looking at his wife like this, Mr. Jiang smiled helplessly.

His temperament is still the same as before.

In the darkness, Jiang's father quietly took Jiang's mother's hand under the blanket. Jiang's mother moved slightly but did not resist, letting Jiang's father hold her hand.

This person is still the same; he can't fall asleep without holding her hand.

That works.

Although Jiang's mother complained inwardly, she wore a faint smile on her face.

Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang did not witness this scene.

Early in the morning, as soon as Jiang Anxia heard her mother and the others leaving, she immediately crawled out of bed.

Jiang Anxia found a hoe in the storage room, picked it up, and headed to the backyard.

After a quick glance, Jiang Anxia made plans for the backyard.

With one stroke of the hoe, Jiang Anxia's hand went numb; she had never expected the ground to be so hard.

Jiang Anxia was helpless. How was she supposed to do this? By thinking?

With a quick glance, Jiang Anxia suddenly had an idea.

It seems like she has a small excavator in her space! It's so quiet when she uses it that she's not afraid of anyone finding out.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anxia had a single thought, and a small machine appeared at her feet.

Jiang Anxia chuckled, quite pleased to have the excavator.

The small machine was only up to Jiang Anxia's knee, so Jiang Anxia could operate it by herself.

Gently turning on the switch, Jiang Anxia gripped the handle and began to move forward little by little from the starting point.

Half an hour later, the backyard was already tilled. With a thought, the machine was retracted into the spatial storage.

Looking at the messy, haphazardly finished floor, a sense of satisfaction gently rises within me.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion from Jiang's mother and the others, she had no choice but to make herself look like this.

Now, she still has to use a hoe to carefully hoe it all over again.

An hour later, looking at the land where she could finally plant seeds, Jiang Anxia smiled happily.

Putting down the hoe, Jiang Anxia went back to the front yard, took a wooden bucket, filled it halfway with water, and carried it to the back yard.

She needs to water the land now, otherwise the soil is too dry and the seeds won't germinate without moisture.

Jiang Anxia made several trips back and forth before she finally finished watering the land.

Seeing that it was almost time, she went to the kitchen to wash her hands and prepare to cook.
