After Li Weidong exited the space, he went to the kitchen, preparing to process the wild chicken.
While he was busy, his younger sister, Li Weihong, returned.
"Second Brother, what are you doing?" Li Weihong asked curiously, leaning closer.
Li Weidong smiled, "Master gave me another wild chicken. We're having an extra meal today."
Li Weihong clapped her hands excitedly, "That's great! We get to eat chicken!"
Seeing his younger sister's happy expression, Li Weidong's heart was also filled with warmth.
Li Weidong skillfully prepared the wild chicken and quickly put it into the pot to stew. Soon, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen, and Li Weihong kept sniffing vigorously beside him.
"Second Brother, when will it be ready? I can't wait any longer," Li Weihong said, staring eagerly at the pot.
Li Weidong smiled and playfully flicked her nose, "Little glutton, it'll be ready in just a bit."
After a little more time, Li Weidong finally finished stewing the wild chicken.
He picked up a small bowl, took two pieces of chicken, and then scooped out more than half a bowl of chicken soup, placing it on a small stool in the kitchen.
Li Weihong asked curiously, "Second Brother, what's this for?"
Li Weidong smiled and said, "This is for a certain little glutton."
Hearing this, Li Weihong pouted, "Second Brother, you're making fun of me again."
Li Weidong chuckled, "Alright, eat slowly, don't burn yourself. I'll go to the door and see if Mom and Dad are back yet."
After speaking, Li Weidong stood up and walked to the door, looking into the distance.
After a while, he returned to the kitchen, shaking his head helplessly, "Still no sign of them."
With her mouth full of chicken, Li Weihong mumbled, "Then I won't eat either. I'll wait for Mom, Dad, and Eldest Brother to come back so we can eat together."
Li Weidong patted her head and said with a smile, "Finish what's in your bowl first. We'll wait for them to come back and eat the rest together."
Li Weihong nodded obediently and began to seriously eat the chicken in her bowl.
After a good while, familiar footsteps and voices finally came from outside the door.
"Mom and Dad are back!" Li Weihong jumped up excitedly.
Li Weidong quickly got up and walked towards the door. When Liu Xiaoli saw Li Weidong standing at the doorway, she hurried forward and asked, "Li Weidong, are you alright now? Does your head still hurt?"
Li Weidong replied with a smile, "Mom, I'm fine. It hasn't hurt for a long time."
The family entered the house. Seeing the wild chicken on the table, Li's father asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"
Li Weidong said, "Master gave it to me, so we can improve our meals."
Li Dahe spoke up, "Your Master takes such good care of you and even gives you things. In the future, you must be filial to your Master and his wife."
Li Weidong nodded earnestly, "Dad, I know. Don't worry."
Li Weiguo also stepped forward and patted Li Weidong's shoulder, saying, "It's good that you're alright."
Li Weidong responded with a smile, "Eldest Brother, I made you worry."
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoli returned to the kitchen and simply made a few mixed grain pancakes, and the family began to eat with the chicken soup.
After dinner, Li Weidong helped clear the dishes, and the family gathered around again to chat.
After a while, Li Weidong suddenly spoke, "Mom, do we have any grain or vegetable seeds at home? Not too many, just a handful of each will do."
Liu Xiaoli looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What do you want seeds for?"
Li Weidong scratched his head, "I want to try planting something."
Li Dahe interjected, "Alright, I'll go find some for you."
Soon, Li Dahe handed a small packet of seeds to Li Weidong and said, "This is all we have. There are corn seeds, wheat seeds, cabbage seeds, radish seeds, and a few bean seeds. Do you think it's enough?"
Li Weidong took the seeds and said happily, "It's enough, thank you, Dad."
The family chatted for a while longer, then prepared to go back to work in the fields.
Li Weidong originally wanted to go with them, but Liu Xiaoli spoke up, "You've just recovered, so rest at home. Your father and I can handle the work in the fields."
Li Weidong knew his parents were worried about him, so he didn't insist. Besides, he was planning to plant these newly acquired seeds in the space soon; planting them earlier would also mean an earlier harvest.
Li's Father and Li's Mother carried their farming tools out of the house. Li Weiguo also headed towards his Master's home to continue learning carpentry. As for Li Weihong, no one knew where she had run off to play again.
At this moment, only Li Weidong remained at home. He quickly returned to his room, closed the door, and flashed into the space. As soon as he entered the space, he saw the Little Elf watering ginseng seeds with Spiritual Spring Water.
"Little Elf, you've worked hard!" Li Weidong said with a smile.
The Little Elf looked up and replied cheerfully, "Master, it's no trouble. These seeds will sprout very soon."
Li Weidong walked over to the Little Elf and took out the seeds he had just gotten from his father, "Look, I've brought some new seeds."
The Little Elf's eyes lit up, "That's great, Master! I'll plant them all right away."
Li Weidong asked, "How can I help?"
The Little Elf tilted its head and thought for a moment, "Master, you can turn over the soil. That will make planting much easier."
Li Weidong looked bewildered, "There are no tools here. How do I turn over the soil?"
As if seeing through Li Weidong's thoughts, the Little Elf said, "Master, within the space, you are like a god. With just a thought, you can do many things, and wherever you think of going within the space, it's just a matter of a thought."
Li Weidong suddenly understood, roughly grasping how to use the space. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and thought about turning over the soil. Sure enough, the land was instantly and neatly tilled.
"That's amazing!" Li Weidong opened his eyes in surprise.
The Little Elf smiled and said, "Master, you can sow the seeds now."
Li Weidong took out the seeds, thinking about planting them neatly.
Miraculously, the seeds seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, automatically aligning themselves neatly, each one falling orderly into the tilled soil.
Then, with another thought from Li Weidong, the water from the Spiritual Spring automatically fell onto the spots where the seeds had just been buried. The Little Elf's eyes widened in surprise, "Master, it seems you can already use the space simply."
Li Weidong paused, "Simply using it?" He asked the Little Elf, "Besides these, what other abilities do I have?"
The Little Elf flapped its wings and flew in front of Li Weidong, "Master, as you become more familiar with the space and your own abilities improve, you will also be able to control the flow of time within the space, making crops mature faster; you can even expand the size of the space. But outside the space, you can..." The Little Elf suddenly stopped, seemingly pondering its words.
Li Weidong eagerly pressed, "What happens outside the space? Hurry and tell me!"
