The morning sun slowly rose from the sky, its dazzling light shining down on the earth.

Jiang Li put her hands behind her head, lay on the bed, and scanned her surroundings with her bright eyes.

She longed for the scenery outside.

She has been lying in bed like this most of the past few days.

Jiang Li felt that she was almost rusty.

The first thing Ye Jingmo did when he got up in the morning was to massage Jiang Li's injured muscles with medicated oil.

Jiang Li went from crying out in pain at the beginning to feeling nothing now.

While Ye Jingmo was massaging her, she tentatively spoke:

"Brother Mo, I think I'm all better now. Can I stop staying in bed?"

After Ye Jingmo finished massaging Jiang Li, he calmly put the medicated oil back into the first-aid kit and looked up at her.

"You can get out of bed and walk around now, but you shouldn't do any work for the next week."

If you have any problems, just tell me directly, so you don't strain your muscles again.

Jiang Li's face fell.

"The cabbages on the third floor are ripe and should be harvested."

I was thinking of having Zhou Tian come and collect the cabbages so we could start pickling our own sauerkraut as soon as possible.

The cabbages were ready to ripen, and Jiang Li didn't want to delay any longer, otherwise the cabbage leaves would become too old and wouldn't taste good.

"It's alright."

I'll go to the third floor and pick the cabbage; you can have Zhou Tian pick it up.

The process of pickling cabbage isn't very complicated; you can just watch me do it.

Ye Jingmo arranged things properly, giving Jiang Li no chance to make a move.

Jiang Li reluctantly followed Ye Jingmo up to the third floor.

Ye Jingmo worked, and she just watched from the side.

There was no other way; this was the only activity she could participate in right now—to cheer Ye Jingmo on as he worked.

Jiang Li hadn't been to the third floor for several days, and it felt like the place had been completely transformed.

The baby guinea pigs have doubled in size since they were born.

They look like little fluffy balls.

Jiang Li picked up a small guinea pig with pale yellow fur and played with it in her hand.

She thought the baby guinea pig would be too scared to move.

To everyone's surprise, this little guinea pig was very brave, crawling all over her hand and curiously exploring its surroundings.

This gave Jiang Li the idea to play a prank.

She clasped her hands together and held the little guinea pig in her palms.

The little guinea pig bumped and scurried around in her palm.

Jiang Li peeked out through a crack, and soon, a fluffy little head popped out.

As if it possessed the ability to shrink its bones, the little guinea pig's entire body broke free from the Jiangli fence's confinement.

Jiang Li put the baby guinea pig into the cage and walked over to Ye Jingmo, who was busy at work.

The tomatoes on the branches are beginning to turn a pale red, like a shy girl.

The potato seedlings' leaves are curling, and some plants are even drooping over, which is a sign that the potatoes are almost ripe.

Jiang Li squatted on the ground, carefully examining the crops, a joyful smile appearing on her face.

When Ye Jingmo turned around, he saw Jiang Li squatting next to the planting trough, grinning foolishly.

He looked around and found a small stool in the corner.

"Don't squat, sit on a stool and watch."

"Brother Mo, I'm all better now."

Don't treat me like a delicate princess. It'll be fine if I squat for a bit.

Jiang Li muttered to herself, but her body language betrayed her as she sat on the small stool.

After Ye Jingmo picks the cabbage, she puts it in a bag.

It will be convenient to take it downstairs later.

"Ding ding~"

Jiang Li looked up at her watch and said to Ye Jingmo:

"Brother Mo, Zhou Tian and the others have arrived outside. Let's go down now."

We'll pick the rest of the cabbage when we get back, and then we'll make it into sauerkraut.

Jiang Li wasn't surprised by Zhou Tian's arrival, but the timing of it made her a little stunned.

She thought Sunday night would be the last day of the week.

However, now that we have heat-resistant clothing, there's no problem going out during the day.

Ye Jingmo turned his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then grabbed a towel from the shelf and wiped his muddy hands.

Jiang Li put all the bags on the ground into her spatial storage and walked to the front yard with Ye Jingmo.

When Zhou Tian saw Jiang Li open the door, he had a concerned smile on his face.

“When I came last time, Jingmo told me you were injured, and I was a little worried.”

Judging from your appearance now, you should have fully recovered.

Be more careful next time you work, so you don't get injured again.

After saying that, he took out a bag from behind him, which contained some plants that Jiang Li did not recognize.

"These are herbs I bought from a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the base."

You can simmer the bones or meat together to make soup; it's good for your health.

Jiang Li tried to refuse, but Zhou Tian forcefully stuffed the bag in his hand into hers, his face solemn.

"We've known each other for so long, and you've all helped me. This is the first time I've given you a gift in return."

These won't cost many points, so please accept them.

"By the way, are the cabbages packed? I'll load them onto the tricycle."

Hearing Zhou Tian change the subject, Jiang Li had no choice but to accept the bag of herbs.

Ye Jingmo stepped back, revealing three large bags of cabbage behind him.

"It's right here, weigh it."

The soldiers behind Zhou Tian took out tools and weighed the cabbage.

"It weighs 73 jin (36.5 catties) here."

The soldier reported to Zhou Tian.

"The price remains the same as before. I'll transfer the points to you."

Zhou Tian didn't go forward to check; he simply transferred the points to Jiang Li.

This is a sign of trust in them.

As the soldiers loaded the cabbages onto the tricycle, Ye Jingmo asked Zhou Tian:

"We want to dig a well in the yard. When can we expect someone to come and survey the site?"

"The construction team is still digging a well for the base, and it will take at least five days before the water arrives."

Zhou Tian pondered for a moment, then spoke to Ye Jingmo.

Jiang Li leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation between the two, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"How's the water from the wells dug at the base?"

Jiang Li interjected.

"It took about ten meters of digging for water to start coming out, and some even dug up to fifteen meters."

The main problem is that the weather is hot now, and even groundwater may be difficult to sustain.

Water shortages persist within the base, and despite the authorities' efforts to control water-related points, they are still unable to stop the points from accumulating.

This situation may only gradually improve after all the wells are fully operational.

"If you dig a well, your water supply will be quite reliable."

Zhou Tian said in a low voice.

Ye Jingmo nodded.

"Then please help us arrange for the construction team to come and survey the site as soon as possible to see if we can dig a well."

"I'll leave this to you."

Zhou Tian laughed heartily.

"No need to be so polite."

I'll head back now, but I'll definitely take care of things properly.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo watched Zhou Tian's departing figure before closing the front gate.

Regarding the matter of digging a well, Jiang Li has already expressed to Qin Yu their idea of ​​digging a well independently.

Qin Yu was somewhat disappointed, but still respected Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo's ideas.

He planned to wait until Jiang Li's family finished digging the well before inquiring about the specific details and making further plans.

These 20,000 points are a huge sum for the Qin family, so they have to be very careful with their money.
