Now, the couple spends their days exercising and supplementing their nutrition.

Spring has arrived quickly, the weather is warming up and the ice and snow are melting. I'm afraid this year will be the same as last year.

The team is now planning to plant wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes this year, as these are all drought-resistant crops.

Now every household needs to go out to work. An adult gets 10 work points a day, and a child gets 4.

Now, team leader Guo Manfu is sending the main workforce out to retrieve the seeds for spring planting and prepare for the planting season.

Everything was ready, and it was time to start work. Everyone was bent over, their faces flushed, digging and sowing seeds.

Jianjun and Tingting were both exhausted, their hands covered in wounds and dirt. At noon, Grandma Guo went home to cook, as they were both starving after a long day of work.

The whole family returned home because there was pork at home in winter, and one person came to help everyone get some extra nutrition.

Also, meat doesn't keep well in the summer, so we decided to stew it. We added a few potatoes, and everyone enjoyed it after a long day.

After finishing their meal, everyone rested for a while before going back to work. Tingting took out iodine and disinfected their hands.

I used a band-aid, and to avoid being discovered, I wrapped my hands in a bag from home and endured my exhaustion to continue working.

When it got dark, the whole family went home, simply added some water to the porridge they had made at noon, and drank their fill of water.

Tingting went back inside, took out the hot water she had prepared in her space, and the two of them soaked their feet. They also took out boiled eggs and steamed buns and ate a meal with the chicken soup from her space.

"Honey, this kind of ground is too tiring. I feel like I can't even straighten my back. We exercise every day and prepared ourselves, and we're still suffering like this."

Jianjun said, "Why do you think everyone would want to go to the city to eat government-subsidized food? It's not as tiring as it is now. Let's get up early tomorrow morning and eat something. If we go out without eating like we did this morning, our bodies won't be able to handle it."

After finishing cleaning up, the two of them were so tired that they fell asleep immediately and started snoring.

The two of them got up early the next day, their bodies aching all over. "Honey, I'm in so much pain I can't get up."

Jianjun quickly helped Tingting up, and the two of them took out the chicken soup, goose eggs, and porridge from the space to replenish their strength, since the more they worked, the more they could eat.

Guo Jianjun said to Tingting, "Wife, take out some painkillers from your space and take them in a bit. You still have to work today. Also, put on some plasters and don't get too close to your family. Just stay next to me."

Tingting nodded weakly. After the two of them finished preparing everything, they went to work with their families. They were too tired.

When they were feeling weak, they took out the brown sugar water from their spatial storage under the cover of the basket. The two of them drank it down in big gulps, then put the contents back into their spatial storage. Everyone who saw them thought they were just drinking water and didn't think much of it.

Seeing how tired Tingting was, Jianjun wanted her to go home and rest for a while, so he said to Grandma Guo, "Mom, let Tingting go home and cook first. We'll eat when we get home, so you don't have to go through all that trouble."

When Grandma Guo heard him say that, she said to Tingting, "Go back and cook first. There's meat at home, stew some to nourish yourselves."

Back home, Tingting started cooking, adding oyster sauce and other seasonings. It smelled delicious, but to prevent others from smelling it, she closed all the doors and windows. She also steamed a lot of sweet potatoes.

When everyone in the family returned home, they sat down at the table to eat. The eldest sister-in-law exclaimed with delight, "The food is really good today! It smells delicious!"

Everyone nodded.

The spring planting season passed by in a flurry of activity.
