Time flies, and spring planting is over. Every year we pray for favorable weather, but low grain yields are a major problem. Even with the best land being carefully tended, the highest yield has never exceeded 500 jin (250 catties).

Those less desirable plots of land are only a little over 300 mu (approximately 60 hectares). Nowadays, people don't have much to eat, so they can only desperately try to get food.

But the grain yield is truly worrying. In times of food shortages, grain is the lifeblood of farmers. Hybrid rice hasn't been developed yet, so food insecurity is the norm, and there's nothing they can do about it.

They've done what they could, and school reopened soon after. Xia Yutang is five years old this year. There's no kindergarten here, so she's still playing around with her friends in the village all day.

Living in the same village, it was inevitable that she would run into Song Fubao. Perhaps without her special abilities, Song Fubao had lost his cleverness.

This girl never learns her lesson; every time they run into them, she comes up to provoke them. Her friends don't tolerate her either; they'd rather she dare to open her mouth and they'd argue with her until she questioned her existence.

But every time she encountered it, she couldn't help but want to go up and say a few words.

Since he was the one who always went up to challenge them, his friends didn't hold back.

Grandma Song still doted on Song Fubao, taking him everywhere she went. However, everyone in the village knew that the main reason Grandma Song took Song Fubao was because he could find things for her.

Although it doesn't happen every time, it happens at least three or four times out of ten. So the old lady felt that even a mosquito's leg is meat, it's just taking a little girl with her wherever she goes, and she can even have her do chores, so why not?

So Song Fubao got busy, and without Song Fubao's nagging, Xia Yutang had more fun in the village. She thought she could enjoy her childhood before starting school, and unexpectedly made quite a few friends. However, she had very few playmates. Everyone had to do chores, boys and girls alike, all contributing to their families. She, on the other hand, did nothing and was just a freeloader.

They originally planned to visit relatives in Jincheng this summer, but after their two older brothers finished their exams, it was time for the autumn harvest to begin.

So it seems unlikely that they will be able to go this time. Although they can see their father every day, their trip to the capital is not just for restaurants, but also for leisure.

Not being able to go out and play made Xia Yutang a little unhappy. But he couldn't understand his father's feelings. The owners of the space could travel freely, but they were limited by time and location, which prevented them from doing so.

When Xia Yutang heard her mother say that she couldn't go to the capital, she dejectedly put her head on the table.

"I want to go out and play, and I want to eat roast duck..."

"There are still a few days left after this autumn harvest. I'll take you to the beach then." There really isn't enough time for them to go to the capital, have a few more days of fun, and then come back.

"Alright, so all we can do is go to the beach..." Although I'm not entirely satisfied, at least we have something to do, which is better than staying in the village all the time.

The situation outside is unclear, and walking around outdoors carries some risk. Why not just go to the beach? No one will see them, and it won't stop them from playing in the water.

Stone and Little Fish both thought their little sister was too easy to please; there must be a sea in that space too. Could there be some difference between these two places?

The two brothers were a little confused, but since they were the ones who had been assigned the task, they stopped thinking about it.

After the entire autumn harvest, everyone lost weight. Even though Xia Yutang's family ate well for three meals a day, the high-intensity farm work couldn't be replenished simply by eating good food every day.

Except for those who didn't want to work, everyone was dark-skinned and thin. Even Xia Yutang, who didn't like to work, lost more than three pounds during this autumn harvest.

Even with regular meals and snacks every day, she still couldn't save her increasingly pointed face.

Just as his two older brothers and his mother were worrying that the little girl was getting thinner and thinner, the autumn harvest ended. Their father returned home on the day the heavy snow arrived.

Seeing his father return home, he realized that this family visit had finally come to an end.

Because he graduated early, he had more than half a month to stay at home. He had originally been thinking that since he couldn't go on his previous trip to visit relatives, he might be able to go during the Chinese New Year.

Now that they've fallen back down, this year's family visit plan has completely failed.

Even if she couldn't visit relatives or go out to play, it was still nice to have her father with her. On the very first day, the little girl climbed onto her father's head and rode on his shoulders, wandering around the village again and again.

His bragging rights are off the charts, making a bunch of his friends in the village incredibly envious.

Especially Song Fubao, whose face was contorted with jealousy, even smugly let her father pass by the Song family's house two or three times. She thought this time she could really annoy Song Baozhu, so that she wouldn't always appear in front of her, either showing off her clothes or her snacks.

She felt that nothing was more impressive than showing off her father; he was probably the most successful person in the surrounding villages. Especially after they moved out of the old house, their life was better than anyone else in the village. Although they were low-key, the whole family was visibly happier, which was one of the reasons Song Fubao was jealous of her…

The family spent a happy two weeks together. On a snowy morning, the family of four reluctantly saw Sugar Dad off at the train station.

Xia Jixuan felt a little guilty that he couldn't go home for the New Year, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how high his position was, he had to maintain his morale while he was in the army.

Every year, heavy snow closes the mountains, and the period until the Spring Festival is the peak season for missions. So, when Xia Jixuan first joined the army, he was already being watched by his superiors.

Before he could even put his luggage back in the dormitory, he had already been dragged to the office to work.

Upon returning from this training, he was promoted, his salary increased by 70 yuan, and his subsidies doubled. From the moment he returned to the unit, he became the head of the entire special forces.

He was promoted two ranks with this one move, looking at the group of young men who had just been transferred to the special forces. When they saw him coming to inspect the troops, they were all shouting with great enthusiasm.

Xia Jixuan didn't tolerate them. Taking advantage of his frustration at not being able to go back to be with his child during the New Year, he beat them all up before returning to his office with a relieved expression.

After he left, the little brats who had been lying on the ground groaning were all lifted up and made to stand up straight, obediently listening to his instructions.

Xiong Ying chuckled and patted the shoulder of the teammate closest to him: "Do you even know who he is? You dare to provoke him like that? I think you're tired of living. This is nothing, and you're already yelling at him. When he actually makes a move, I'm telling you, none of you will survive him alive."
