As soon as it got light, it was time to start work, and the villagers began to work.
Tingting applied sunscreen to all the exposed areas of herself and Jianjun, ate breakfast in the space, and then went to work.
Men and women alike picked up shovels and started digging. They filled baskets with the soil, which was very deep and difficult to excavate. They were exhausted, their faces were flushed, and their bodies felt numb.
Some people used carrying poles to transport the soil out, while others used carts to dump it. They went back and forth, taking shifts to eat.
When no one was looking, Tingting put candy in her and Jianjun's mouths to replenish their energy.
They drank quite a bit of sugar water, and after that, they both felt a little better. They then started eating the sweet potatoes and potatoes that they had brought yesterday.
He covered the egg with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. If he did so much work and didn't get enough to eat, he would really have no strength and would fall ill.
After eating, they immediately went back to work. They would take turns eating, grab their hoes and other tools, and continue working.
Looking at the women carrying soil on shoulder poles, Tingting couldn't help but feel that it's true that women can hold up half the sky.
The place was packed with people, and each team had to compete to see who could finish faster. The sense of collective honor made everyone work harder and be more dedicated.
In the evening, the family went home, ate the sweet potatoes they had prepared in advance with boiled water, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
"Honey, look at my shoulder, is it injured?" Jianjun saw that it was, took out the medicine from his spatial storage, and applied it to Tingting's shoulder.
"Tingting, let's seal something inside our clothes, otherwise our shoulders won't be able to take it," the two said, and then took out a lot of steamed buns and soup to eat.
"Husband, this work in the countryside is really tiring. Can you think of a solution?"
"Don't even think about going to the city. In a few years, the countryside will be safer. Just stay in the countryside."
"Fine, I'll listen to you. It's better to separate the family sooner rather than later," Tingting said dejectedly.
"It'll be soon. Once we're done, we'll separate the family, have a child, and we'll be fine with nothing to worry about. We already have money, so let's not think about these things anymore."
They continued working like this. Although they were exhausted, they ate a lot of meat and got good nutrition. Although they looked thin, you could see that they were all muscle, which was no worse than going to the gym.
"It's finally over now. Let's stew all the rabbits. The rabbits that the third brother caught last time, I dried them. Let's stew them to make them more nourishing," Grandma Guo said happily.
Taking advantage of everyone being asleep in the middle of the night, the whole family ate until they were stuffed for the first time.
The autumn harvest is approaching, and everyone is resting and preparing. Everyone is very happy, after all, we are closer to distributing the grain. However, the work of building the reservoir will continue after the autumn harvest.
Jianjun and his wife are now secretly cooking for themselves on the mountain. After all, they've been exhausted lately, and the two of them have been busy on the mountain for a while.
After cooking enough food for the New Year's work, we prepared to take five fish home. After all, we came back empty-handed from the mountain, and we couldn't let them come here so often next time.
"Dad, Mom, look what this is! Oh, third brother, you're really something! You even have fish! Mom, let's stew fish for dinner tonight!" The children jumped up and down with joy.
“Third brother, the river in our village is dry now. Where did you find this? We found a stream in the mountains. There weren’t many people around. Tingting and I tried our luck and caught five fish.”
"We'll stew it for dinner tonight. It's almost harvest time, so it's a good way to nourish ourselves. Tingting is cooking the fish again, and she's also adding a big cabbage. Everyone is licking their lips."
