She did not eat much, just half a pancake, and a few mouthfuls of porridge.

The red braised pork had been polished off. If Gu Qingyao had not quickly taken a few more pieces for Grandfather and Grandma, most of it would have gone into Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing’s stomachs.

After dinner, Gu Ruoqing vanished. She had gone out to play.

Zhang Xiaohui was in the kitchen washing the dishes, scraping pots, and boiling water to wash their feet because her father had forced her to. Usually, either Gu Qingyao or Grandma Wen Ruyu attended to these things. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Qingyao acted like they were the family ancestors.

Gu Qingyao returned to her room and thought for a while before searching through the warehouse of her interspace for some wool.

She had collected these in her previous life, and still had plenty. So she took out some black wool to knit a sweater for Mo Beihan. He would have to leave after his furlough came to an end. She would finish knitting it so that he could take it with him.

Then she remembered that she had plenty of time in her interspace. She could probably knit several sweaters before Mo Beihan left!

The sky gradually darkened. Most farmers went to bed early because kerosene was too expensive, and they could not afford it.

After everyone slept, Gu Qingyao took her wool and entered her living interspace.

The fact that her interspace was divided into two portions was perfect for Gu Qingyao.

One part was used as a warehouse to store goods, while she could freely enter the other half, which was the living interspace. The ten acres of land in the living interspace included a natural pond. A small row of houses stood by the pond.

For the sake of convenience, the houses there had all been constructed outside, and were the kind of temporary houses that construction workers lived in at the construction site.

However, she had used good materials and had them made to order, so that their exterior was much prettier.

They looked just like small villas that could be found in villages, and were particularly rustic and idyllic.
