After tidying up the evening's harvest, Jiang Li strolled leisurely to the front yard.

She wanted to cover the crops in the soil with plastic film to prevent water evaporation during the day when the sun was scorching, thus promoting crop growth.

Ye Jingmo also came out to help.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo each took two corners of the plastic film and separated them to the sides.

A transparent plastic film covered the entire front yard, with its four corners weighed down with stones.

To prevent the wind from displacing the plastic film.

After securing the entire piece of plastic film in place, Jiang Li took out scissors and cut a hole in the top of the crop so that it could grow out.

Otherwise, the crops will be trapped inside the plastic film, unable to grow or even wither and die.

Soon, neat rows of holes appeared on the plastic film, like soldiers lined up in formation.

Jiang Li carefully inspected the area to ensure that no cutting holes were missed before she felt relieved.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo returned to the house together.

She told Ye Jingmo to take a shower first, and then she took out a bed and other items from her storage space and arranged them.

The two people mentioned earlier were sleeping in the living room, but they hadn't prepared anything yet.

The temperature at night is not as high as during the day, but it is still around 35 degrees Celsius.

It's comparable to the daytime temperature used to be.

Jiang Li placed two single beds in the living room, along with blankets and pillows.

She also placed a screen between the living room and the dining room to retain more of the cool air from the air conditioner.

Pudding saw Jiang Li making the bed, and it tilted its head, deep in thought.

The soft bed looked tempting to Pudding, and it wanted to jump on it and experience it.

As it stretched out its chubby paws to approach the bed, Jiang Li seemed to have eyes in the back of its head.

Turning around, I saw Pudding's claws trying to graze the bed.

"No."

Jiang Li walked over to Pudding and began to lecture her in a tone of refusal.

Pudding turned its head away, its eyes darting around, indicating that it did not acknowledge that Jiang Li was criticizing it.

meow~

When the jelly in the cage heard Jiang Li scolding Pudding, it cautiously spoke up, as if trying to mediate a fight.

Jiang Li stepped forward, opened the cage for Jelly, stroked its fluffy little head, and said with a smile:

"Didn't you and Pudding have a bad relationship before? Why are you protecting her now?"

Jelly grabbed Jiang Li's hand with both paws, nuzzling it with its head and making a soft, gurgling sound.

Jiang Li checked the jelly's wound and found that it had mostly healed, so it no longer needed to be kept in the cage.

Pudding went closer to the cage; it really wanted to play with Jelly.

Jiang Li stroked Pudding's hair and comforted him, "You can play with Jelly almost tomorrow, just wait one more day."

She plans to give Jelly a bath tomorrow and then let it roam freely.

After calming the two little ones down, Jiang Li went to take a bath.

When she returned to the bed, Ye Jingmo was already lying on it, one hand behind his head, staring at the ceiling.

Jiang Li slowly climbed into bed and pulled the blanket over herself.

This experience of sleeping face-to-face with Ye Jingmo dates back to when we went camping in elementary school.

Jiang Li felt a long-lost sense of excitement.

She rolled around on the bed, unable to settle into any particular position.

Ye Jingmo got up and turned off the lights on the first floor. He groped his way back to his bed in the dark and heard Jiang Li making noises on the bed.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep? Or are you having trouble sleeping in your new bed?"

Jiang Li turned to the side, and through the dim moonlight, she met Ye Jingmo's concerned gaze.

"No, I just suddenly remembered that the last time we slept face to face like this was back in elementary school."

Jiang Li replied to Ye Jingmo in a low voice.

"Yes, more than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Ye Jingmo's voice was filled with sighs.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo chatted for a while in the night. The surrounding environment was so quiet that it was as if only the two of them existed in the world.

"Go to sleep, it's almost five o'clock."

Ye Jingmo glanced at his watch and softly urged Jiang Li to hurry up.

"Ah."

Jiang Li rubbed her sleepy eyes and nodded drowsily.

The next day.

Jiang Li was awakened by the blinding sunlight. She pulled the blanket over her head, trying to sleep a little longer.

A pull came from the blanket, dragging it to the foot of the bed.

Jiang Li struggled to open her eyes and saw Pudding panting heavily with her tongue sticking out.

Wang ~

The sun's shining on my butt, master. I'm starving!

Pudding slapped the basin under its feet with its paw, making a loud bang.

Jiang Li reached out and rubbed the messy hair on her head. She glanced at her watch; it was already eleven o'clock.

Since it's already so late.

Jiang Li hurriedly ran to the pet cabinet and took out dog food and cat food.

She added food and water to the bowls of pudding and jelly before leisurely yawning and going to wash up.

I wonder what Brother Mo will cook today?

Jiang Li washed up while thinking about it.

She saw Ye Jingmo's busy figure in the kitchen when she got up.

Jiang Li finished washing up and went into the kitchen, peeking out to see what Ye Jingmo was making.

All she saw was a plate of lush green sweet potato leaves.

Jiang Li's face fell, and she pointed to the sweet potato leaves, saying:

"Brother Mo, is this all we're having for today? No meat?"

Ye Jingmo brought the dishes to the table.

"I didn't cook meat for lunch. I figured I had just gotten up not long ago, so I didn't want to make anything too oily. I steamed a bowl of eggs in the pot instead."

"Let's have a more elaborate meal tonight. How about I make you some salt and pepper rabbit?"

We'll have a big meal tonight, and a simple lunch. Jiang Li had no objections.

Mix the steamed eggs with rice and drizzle with a little soy sauce; the result is a smooth, tender, and flavorful dish.

The only downside was that the sweet potato leaves we picked were a bit old, and the rootstock had a lot of fibers.

After filling our stomachs, it's time to get to work.

Jiang Li took out a chicken coop from her spatial storage and placed it at the entrance leading to the backyard.

She also placed pieces of cardboard under the chicken coop to collect chicken droppings.

Two pieces of cardboard were used alternately; once one was full, it was placed outside to dry, and the other was placed at the bottom of the chicken coop.

Jiang Li has collected chicken manure these past few days, and after drying it, it's filled half a bag.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went up to the third floor together.

Each person carried a cardboard box down to the first floor.

The chicks chirped as they felt the cardboard box shaking.

They don't know what's going to happen.

Jiang Li placed the cardboard box on the ground and put one chick in each hand into the chicken coop.

The chicks, experiencing a space even larger than a cardboard box for the first time, quickly warmed up and ran around freely after their initial shyness.

Jiang Li put millet, mixed with some rice bran, into their food bowls.

Extra powder made from ground eggshells was added.

Grow up quickly so she can lay eggs.

Jiang Li really wanted to experience the feeling of harvesting eggs herself.

Seeing that the chicks showed no signs of discomfort in the coop, Jiang Li walked away reassured.

There's still work to be done on the third floor.

Jiang Li went to the planting trough, cleared away the newly grown weeds, and watered the crops.

She drew the curtains on the third floor.

The third floor has light-transmitting curtains, which can reduce the strong sunlight that could kill crops, while still ensuring that crops receive the sunlight they need.
