Actually, she didn't want to think about it either. If she hadn't spoiled her, how could she have such an arrogant little girl?

Look at all those clothes racks and stuff, she made them all, aren't they miniature furniture?

Even her two older brothers thought that their sister's room was perfect for playing house, and her father even made her a mini stroller.

Xia Jixuan, of course, wouldn't show favoritism. After helping his little girl set up those miniature pieces of furniture, he also got his two sons things that interested them: two wooden tanks and two model airplanes.

I even specially got a 28-inch bicycle in the space to teach these two little rascals to ride it. Their legs are still a bit short, so they can't stand up to support themselves on the bicycle, but they can ride it now.

So excited were they that the two kids even rode a tricycle. Xia Jixuan covered his face and sighed; these two just had too much energy and needed some training.

Now that I'm back, I'll let them burn off that extra energy every day. So the two little brats of the Xia family began their hard days, getting up at 5 a.m. every day to run laps around the yard, about 600 meters per lap, 10 laps in the ancient field.

Ten days later, he came to teach military boxing. Although the two boys were in some pain, they held their breath and studied hard in order to protect their mother and sister.

Of course, they had their conditions. There was a room in this space filled with cars and similar vehicles, and the open space was large enough that there were no outsiders. So, the two of them wanted to learn to drive—motorcycles, tricycles, cars, trucks—anything their father could drive, they wanted to learn.

These days they've also learned a lesson: it's always good to have more skills. Once you acquire a skill, it's yours to keep. Maybe in the future, you can even use this skill to find a job as a driver in the county town.

Being a driver is a highly sought-after profession these days, not only because of the high salary, but also because there's extra money to be made.

Xia Jixuan readily agreed. His two sons were very smart and always ranked at the top of their class in school, so he, as their father, didn't need to worry about them much.

Regarding his combat skills, he had always wanted to go home and teach the two of them some military boxing, which would not only improve their physical fitness but also help them protect their family. However, his work was just too busy, and he could only go home twice a year for a few days.

A few days won't amount to much. Thanks to this opportunity, not only have the two children's health improved, but their strength has also increased. Now, he can return home anytime, anywhere. Improving the two children's combat abilities needs to be put on the agenda.

Learning to drive is no problem either, since this space has everything they've ever seen and nothing they've never seen before. Even if they don't know how to drive, the father and his sons can discuss it and learn together.

The two little ones were quite interested in the thing called a balance board. It would be really cool if they could take it out. The two wheels even had colored lights on them. Walking on this balance board at night would create a nightclub atmosphere.

However, he had never played with this before, so he still needed to find some time to carefully read the instruction manual and the detailed operating instructions, otherwise it would be a loss if he accidentally dropped it.

This thing is very fast and silent. Apart from the bright lights on its two wheels being too conspicuous, it can be a very useful tool.

Most importantly, this thing can not only be voice-controlled, but also remotely controlled. The system inside is very advanced; its voice control can fix the voice tone. It's similar to low-blood binding; once a voice tone is fixed, no matter how others try to control it with their voices, they can't control it.

The hibernation period passed quietly as the family of five studied in their virtual space. It wasn't until they heard the announcement that it was time to go back to work that they realized it was already March.

The ground outside was thawing, and work was gradually starting to resume in the village. Sure enough, right after the third day of the third lunar month, the brigade leader ordered someone to ring the bell at the temple, calling everyone to gather at the threshing ground for a meeting.

Although there was a bit of sunshine, the biting north wind still stung people's faces. Due to last year's drought, the village chief had several water storage pits dug when it snowed, and they were specially sealed with cement and sand.

Last year's heavy snowfalls were all swept into these pits to store water for spring planting. After the ice thawed, everyone rushed to check the dug-out ponds, and indeed, there was quite a bit of water inside.

These pools were dug very deep back then, but we don't know if there will be another drought this year, or how long this water will last.

Spring rain is as precious as oil; if there's no rain in spring, the whole year will be tough. We need enough rain to irrigate these fields. The older generation, who are good at reading the weather, know this year's harvest will be difficult, and they've been constantly telling their families to save as much as possible.

Xia Yutang also came out, but what she saw made them look like zombies, very decadent and negative.

Xia Yutang was puzzled. Wasn't there food? Why was it like this?

“Everyone is thinking about saving as much as possible. Anyway, we’re just lying at home and there’s nothing strenuous to do. And that food isn’t just for a day or two, so how can we not be frugal? After all, nobody knows what the harvest will be like this year, so we have to plan for the future.” Liu Fangmei looked at her little girl’s puzzled expression, reached out and pinched her cheek, and then sighed. Even though her family eats and drinks well, her daughter hasn’t gained much weight.

She had planned to take advantage of the winter break to cook delicious meals for her little girl every day, hoping to at least help her gain some weight. But after a whole winter, her face was still thin and her body was still skinny.

The only difference is that her hair is a bit better than before. It used to be dry and frizzy, but now it's black, shiny, and smooth. Aside from her hair, there really aren't any other changes. This mother is so worried about her child.

Xia Yutang sighed. There was nothing they could do. They had already distributed a lot of grain to their own village and the surrounding villages. If they were in this situation, what would become of the villages they couldn't take care of? She didn't even dare to think about it.

Liu Fangmei sighed as she watched her little girl, then patted her back and helped her sit back in the basket. This child is only four years old, and she sighs so much.

It's all her father's fault. Why did he always tell her to study more? Now look what's happened! The little girl is worrying all day long, because there's no food in this village and no grain in that village.

Even if there isn't, what does it have to do with her, a child?

When the mother and daughter finally arrived at the threshing ground, it was already packed with people.

Xia Yutang stood up and looked around again. There weren't that many people who looked listless. The listless people he had just seen were only a small fraction of them.
