The yard was full of grain after it was unloaded. Apart from Linjia Village, the surrounding villages were all small villages with populations of only a few hundred. Some of them had even left due to the war and there were not many people left.

The old village chief asked the villagers to go to the village committee and bring over the scales that were used to weigh grain in the village. He thought that if someone was buying a small amount, they could use them. Soon, a long queue formed outside the courtyard.

The children, woken up by the adults, all circled around the big truck, while the adults stood quietly with their own bags, waiting.

“I have 150 jin in one bag here. If you want to buy more, you can register at Sister Weng’s son’s place, pay the money, and then collect the grain here.” After He Yuping brought the grain over, she wanted to be a hands-off manager.

After all, she had just packed so much food into the space and was exhausted. She just wanted to sit down and rest.

Everything that followed followed naturally. Two hours passed, and the grain was visibly decreasing. By the time only two bags remained, all the villagers had bought their grain and left.

The money that Sister-in-law Weng's son collected in the end was packed into sacks. Looking at that sack of money, he felt completely numb. He had never seen so much money since he was born.

"Sister, there are only two bags of grain left. Everyone's gone. Look here." Sister-in-law Weng pointed to the two bags of grain left in the corner, looking at the two people sitting in the armchair, half asleep.

"Oh, are there two bags left? Okay then, Sister-in-law Weng, consider these two bags as payment for the ride. You can take them home, and please ask the young men to help me load the money onto the truck. We should be going now. Sister-in-law, go back and tell Brother Lin to rest first. We'll come back around 10 a.m. tomorrow and then set off. We'll send the truck back first." Before leaving, He Yuping asked Sister-in-law Weng to go back and tell her husband their departure time.

“Okay, young man, I’ll go back and tell him we’ll be ready. You can come and go anytime.” Sister-in-law Weng happily directed her sons to help load the sack of money into the truck bed.

Watching the truck drive away, the mother and her children happily went home.

Today was a truly unexpected joy; they were able to buy so much grain, meaning they won't have to worry about food for the next six months.

He Yuping and her daughter drove the truck a long way before stopping, and then returned to their space.

"Goodness, can you adjust the time? I need to take a nap, otherwise I'll be exhausted." As soon as He Yuping returned to the space, she collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all. She hadn't worked in a long time, and she was already this tired after just packing a few dozen bags of grain. Her physical condition was really not good.

"Alright, go take a bath first, there's a hot spring later, then go rest and relax. It'll help you recover from your fatigue." He Caiwei knew that she had done more than her usual tasks today. After all, she had been pampered for so many years, so she still needed to soak in the hot spring. Otherwise, she might be even more tired when she woke up.

The mother and daughter rested in the space for a day and a night before waking up to prepare food. Since they could take it with them on the road, they wanted to prepare something simple and easy to store.

Since there were outsiders present, she had to be careful and couldn't let her daughter's precious baby be exposed.

After He Caiwei woke up, she went to check the place where the grain had been stored. The empty grain bins had disappeared, and the space had returned to its original state.

He Yuping felt it was a pity that the land was empty, but she didn't know how to plant it, so she went to the TV in the living room to find videos. Now she has learned to use the remote control to find videos by herself.

"Mom, we don't need to plant so much land. Look, aren't those things growing on their own? Just pick some of your favorite crops from this small patch of open space in front and plant them. Look at that huge patch of vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat, sorghum, and corn behind us. If we harvest all of that, how long will it take for the two of us to finish it? Look at those empty spaces over there, see which vegetables aren't growing there, and plant some there." He Caiwei was a little helpless seeing his eager expression. This space already had all sorts of crops growing inside.

You only need a thought to decide what you want to eat or what you want to grow. But for some reason, this mother suddenly decided to grow it herself.

"Uh, right? Well then, let's plant more strawberries. These strawberries are quite delicious." He Yuping froze when she heard her daughter's words. How could she have forgotten that there was a large field behind there, with fields of wheat, rice, sorghum, and corn.

There's also a small plot of land where a type of vegetable is planted, with each plot neatly separated. You can walk over and pick it whenever you want to eat it.

Having been in this space for so long, she has only eaten two kinds of fruit: apples and strawberries. She really likes the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. Otherwise, she could use this small plot of land in front to grow strawberries.

"Alright, whatever makes you happy. Let's go, it's already ten in the morning~ We still have to get going." He Caiwei felt that as long as her mother was happy, that was all that mattered. Anyway, she had plenty of land here, so she could plant whatever she wanted.

The mother and daughter appeared at the Lin family's door, each carrying a large bag, a basket on their backs, and a large sack.

The men and women of the Lin family all knew that a distinguished guest had arrived when they heard a knock on the door.

"Sister-in-law, here's another sack of grain for you. I'll exchange the rest for money and give it to my brother when he returns to the city. Is that alright?" They only took out this sack of grain after arriving at the Lin family's door and finding no one there.

"Young man, come, come, would you like to eat something before you set off?" Sister-in-law Weng had already thought it through; she had made extra pancakes for her husband as provisions, intending to treat the father and daughter to some.

"No need, sister-in-law. We ate outside before coming here. My aunt gave us a bag of dry food. My dad called to urge us to leave, so we have to go." He Yuping politely declined the dry food offered by Sister-in-law Weng and pointed to her daughter's basket.

Indeed, the small basket was filled with pastries, a water pouch, and a bamboo tube. The bamboo tube contained soup, and the water pouch contained milk. This was specially prepared for my daughter, so that she could change it to water whenever she was thirsty.

“Alright, my father and the others are all ready. The mule cart is outside; we can put the things in and leave. Young man, if you ever go back to Pingcheng, please come visit me.” Sister-in-law Weng heard this. Since they were prepared, she didn’t insist.

She quickly took out a package from her own home, containing some dry food and water for her husband to eat on the road.

After He Yuping and her daughter got into the car, they set off. Inside were the two of them, while in front sat the Lin family, the father and the eldest brother of the Lin family.

Because they wanted to travel day and night, Old Man Lin personally drove the carriage. He had been traveling this road for decades and was quite familiar with it, so even if he had to travel at night, he wouldn't lose his way.
