Everyone worked very hard, and they didn't rest until all the potatoes and sweet potatoes had been dug up.

It was already midnight, but everyone was still very energetic. I don't know if it was because they were too excited or because there was an extra mental boost in the space.

Shen Xingmian always came back to catch up on sleep when she was completely exhausted, so she didn't know what the normal state of being should be like.

After finally finishing picking all the hawthorns from the tree, Shen Xingmian looked at Xiao Yanyue, who was sitting and resting to the side, worried that he might have exhausted him.

"Come on, let's go over there. See what fruits you like and pick a lot for yourself."

Shen Xingmian found him a black canvas backpack, not very big, but enough to hold some daily supplies.

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll keep your little backpack full."

Shen Xingmian was exceptionally patient with this only child who was younger than herself. Wasn't this much easier than raising a pet?

He can handle everything on his own, without arguing or getting angry, just quietly keeping me company.

She's so endearing.

Shen Xingmian was afraid that he might need something but was too embarrassed to tell her, so she couldn't help but tell him again and again.

If everyone were like my cousin, they could just ask for whatever they wanted without any hesitation or awkwardness, which would be so convenient.

However, she herself knew that this was impossible.

No two leaves in the world are the same, and it is even more impossible for a large group of people to have the same personality.

Moreover, she gradually felt that Xiao Yanyue was just fine as he was; if he were too lively, he would be a bit unlike him.

Just be patient and spend more time with him; maybe he'll become more cheerful over time. Anyone who has gone through something like that would have personality problems.

He's just not very talkative; he's already done a great job.

If someone is too lively and charming, the thought of their deep-seated hatred can feel very disconnected.

Shen Xingmian helped him put on his backpack, and for a moment she felt like she was sending a child to school.

She silently rubbed her forehead, trying to shake off this absurd feeling.

When they returned to everyone's side, Shen Xingyan, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Xiao Yanyue's backpack. She then fawned over Shen Xingmian, shaking her arm and asking in a coquettish tone, "Little sister, his backpack is so pretty, do you have any more?"

Shen Xingmian couldn't resist her question, which was quite sweet, and immediately presented her with a whole bunch of things.

When she was collecting items from large supermarkets, she saw some pretty ones that no one wanted, and felt it was a waste, so she picked out the ones she liked and bought them.

Surprisingly, it actually came in handy much later.

Not only do children like it, but adults also find it suitable. It's definitely better than a package made from a piece of cloth tied in a knot.

She laid out all her backpacks so the adults could choose some too, so they wouldn't have to worry about where to put their things when they went out in the future.

"I think we can choose a small one for everyday use and a larger one for long trips," Shen Xingmian suggested.

She only suggested the size; as for the rest, it was entirely up to everyone's personal preference.

A group of people were chattering away, and Shen Xingmian sat beside them watching, feeling quite pleased with herself.

To her surprise, her cousin chose a pink backpack; she had thought her cool cousin would choose black.

However, such a bright pink has never been seen in this era, so it's normal that the little girl couldn't resist it.

After everyone had made their selections, she returned the rest to the warehouse, adding, "If they break, come find me and I'll replace them with new ones."

Mu Zhizhi, who had many ideas, pulled Shen Xingmian aside and asked, "Mianmian, these designs don't seem particularly complicated to me. Could Auntie make a few herself, following their designs?"

"Why not? If Auntie likes them, take a few more home and see which styles are more practical. Then we can use all the ones you made!"

Shen Xingmian really liked this suggestion. Everyone never treated her as an ATM, but rather as a source of inspiration, encouraging them to brainstorm and research more new things.

Mu Zhizhi nodded happily, but then felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone looking at her.

She's not one to talk in front of a lot of people, but this time she really liked it so much that she spoke up on her own initiative.

After receiving permission, she returned to her husband's side and said no more.

"Alright, it's time to sleep. Even though it's still lit up inside, it's already past midnight outside. Do you all want to sleep here, or go out and find Grandpa?"

Except for my eldest uncle, who was going out in case of any emergencies, everyone else stayed inside, in the two tents that hadn't been put away before we went to sleep.

The temperature inside is very comfortable; unlike outside, where you don't feel cold even when wearing many layers of clothing and blankets.

Shen Xingyan was finally able to sleep next to her sister again. She was so excited today that she had some insomnia.

So she quietly got out of bed and slipped outside the tent.

Shen Xingmian heard this, but didn't stop them. Anyway, there wasn't much for the children to do during the day, and she had plenty of time to catch up on sleep.

She has a certain degree of control over space, can sense everyone's exact location, and can teleport there and there.

As for other people's conversations, she didn't listen in. They were all family members, and eavesdropping would be too impolite.

There's no danger in the space, so even if my cousin wanders around, she won't cause any trouble. I might as well satisfy her curiosity.

It was too late. She had experienced a lot that day and wanted to get some rest to clear her head.

The next day, she slept until after 10 a.m., and then discovered a big problem: without waking her up, everyone had to wait for her to wake up in the space before they could be released.

I wonder if my maternal grandfather and eldest uncle are getting impatient.

There were only her and her cousin left in the tent. Her cousin was still sleeping, but she didn't disturb anyone and could sleep until the afternoon. She couldn't do that!

Shen Xingmian hurriedly went out to see what was going on and found that everyone nearby had found something to do, mainly picking the fruits and vegetables that she had ripened before going to bed.

You're so diligent!

Seeing that she had finally woken up, Shen Yunting smiled and complained, "Luckily there's plenty of fruit here, otherwise everyone would be hungry if you slept until you woke up naturally."

Look at your cousin, he's done so much work, and he's still at the age where he needs to grow.

"Alright, alright, we'll go out now. Lunch is ready, go eat outside with Grandpa and Uncle."

After she finished speaking, she left the space first, and only after confirming that there were no outsiders in her grandfather's tent did she let everyone out.

Shen Zhiheng was quite good at acting. At the dinner table, he pretended that he had never been inside, asked about the situation inside, listened to Shen Xingyan chattering on and on, and occasionally let out a few exclamations of surprise.

Shen Xingmian and the other two found it very interesting; their grandfather was really trying hard to maintain family harmony.

They watched his performance quietly, occasionally chiming in with a few words, without undermining him at all.

After the meal, the family finally digested this huge surprise and felt more confident about the future.
