Tiedan and Daya were sitting on the kang eating, while Liu Mingfeng and Wu Qiaoqiao were tidying up the things on the kang. They first took out the White Rabbit candy, malted milk and a bag of milk powder sent by Zhang Jianjun and put them in the cabinet, and then began to organize the things Liu Mingfeng brought back.

Wu Qiaoqiao first opened the two large packages that Liu Mingfeng brought back, and found that there was a new military coat in each package. Liu Mingfeng saw the two military coats and said that they were given by the regiment commander and the political commissar. If Wu Qiaoqiao wanted to wear it, she could keep one and give the other to Aunt Wu.

When Wu Qiaoqiao heard Liu Mingfeng say this, she folded the two military overcoats and put them aside. She looked through the remaining items and found some food and other necessities. She even emptied a bag from one of the coats. After opening the bag and emptying the contents, she found that it contained some banknotes.

Liu Mingfeng looked at the money and knew that it was his comrades who knew something had happened at home and they were worried that he would be in trouble, so they took it out together. Everyone knew that if they gave it to him in person, he would definitely not accept it, so they just stuffed it into the package.

While the two of them were packing their things, Liu Ercheng and his brother also arrived. After arriving at Liu Mingfeng's house, they went straight into Liu Mingfeng's room to check on the couple. After learning that they were both well, they went out to wait in the hall for dinner. Originally, Liu Ercheng and his brother had come after finishing work, but when they arrived at Liu Mingfeng's house and learned that Liu Minghao had also come, they immediately asked their wives to go home and get some food, intending to cook a meal at Liu Mingfeng's house to welcome Feng Minghao.

Lin Yuwei was about to leave when she saw this, after all, they were a family, what difference would it make if she were one more person? But before she could leave, Zhao Xiuxiang stopped her.

"Yuwei, where are you going?"

"Aunt Wu, why am I here while your family is having dinner?"

"What do you mean by 'it's a big deal'? You're eating here. You brought the chicken, and you even gave me a ginseng. If you keep saying that, I'll have to pay you for the ginseng."

Zhao Xiuxiang was trying to stop Lin Yuwei from leaving, so everyone came up to persuade Lin Yuwei to stay for dinner, and Feng Minghao also hoped that Lin Yuwei would stay. Ever since he met Lin Yuwei, Feng Minghao felt that something was wrong with him. If he didn't look at her, he would miss her, and if he looked at her, his heart would ache.

In this way, Lin Yuwei was left behind, but she still went back to Zhao Xiuxiang's house to get the rabbit she brought back yesterday. Lin Yuwei wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was driven out by Zhao Xiuxiang. Even Zhou Hongxia and Ma Ximei were also driven out. Zhao Xiuxiang said that the three sisters-in-law were enough, and the kitchen was so crowded that there were too many people and it would be difficult to turn around.

The meal was ready soon, and the door on Liu Mingfeng's side was pushed open. Ma Ximei came in with two pots of food, followed by Zhou Hongxia, who was holding a basket with some corn and white flour cakes in one hand and bowls and chopsticks in the other. After the two of them put the food on the table on the kang, Zhou Hongxia said with a smile.

"Fifth brother and sister-in-law, dinner is ready. There's pork and dried vegetable stew with vermicelli, and also chicken soup. The chicken soup also contains the ginseng that Lin Zhiqing brought before. Drink more and nourish yourselves well."

After saying this, Zhou Hongxia prepared to take the two children off the kang and take them out for dinner, but Tiedan and Daya didn't want to go out and stayed close to Wu Qiaoqiao. Seeing this, Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng knew that the two children felt insecure because of all the things that had happened to them suddenly. So they told Zhou Hongxia not to take them out and just let them eat with them inside.

Zhou Hongxia and Ma Ximei saw that the two children really didn't want to go out, so they went out without saying anything. Zhou Hongxia brought in two more sets of bowls and chopsticks from outside and placed them in front of the two children. She was about to turn around and leave, but Wu Qiaoqiao stopped her and put the bowl of chicken with two chicken legs and two chicken wings missing in Zhou Hongxia's hands.

"Sister-in-law, take this out. How can we eat a whole chicken alone? Don't you want to eat it?"

"Fifth sister-in-law, how can this be? This is for you and your fifth brother to nourish your bodies. We not only have pork and dried vegetable stew with vermicelli when we're out, but also spicy stir-fried rabbit."

Wu Qiaoqiao refused to agree and even said that if they didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it either. Seeing Wu Qiaoqiao like this, Zhou Hongxia turned to look at Liu Mingfeng. Liu Mingfeng said, "There's nothing I can do." So Zhou Hongxia had no choice but to carry the chicken without legs and wings out.

After Zhou Hongxia left, Wu Qiaoqiao first filled half a bowl of chicken soup for the two children, and put a chicken leg in front of each of them for them to eat. She and Liu Mingfeng also each had a bowl of soup and a chicken wing and sat down at the table to eat. Fortunately, Zhou Hongxia had brought many bowls, otherwise she might have eaten directly from the bowl.

Wu Qiaoqiao picked up the bowl and took a sip of the chicken soup, then sighed comfortably. She couldn't remember the last time she drank chicken soup. Thinking about the time before the end of the world, she didn't eat anything, and then the end of the world, there was nothing to eat. As she drank the fragrant chicken soup, Wu Qiaoqiao felt so happy.

Liu Minfeng looked at Wu Qiaoqiao, whose eyes were narrowed due to drinking, and smiled. He was about to put the chicken wing in his bowl into Wu Qiaoqiao's bowl, but Wu Qiaoqiao covered the bowl with her hand and rolled her eyes at him.

"Just eat. It's not like we won't have enough to eat in the future. Hurry up and finish eating so you can get some rest and take care of business tonight."

Liu Mingfeng knew Wu Qiaoqiao was referring to his treatment that evening, so he nodded and began to eat earnestly. Seeing the two children sitting beside her slurping down their chicken soup and gnawing on chicken legs, Wu Qiaoqiao gave each of them a flatbread made with two kinds of dough, telling them to tear it apart and soak it in the soup. She herself took a flatbread and started eating it directly. Mmm, this flatbread is delicious too.

After Zhao Xiuxiang finished preparing the food in the main room, she asked Zhou Hongxia and Ma Ximei to take the food in and bring the two children out to eat. However, after a short while, Zhou Hongxia came out without the children. Since they knew that the two children were going to stay with Qiaoqiao, they didn't say anything. After Zhou Hongxia brought the bowls and chopsticks in for the two children, everyone sat down and waited for her to come out so they could eat.

To everyone's surprise, when Zhou Hongxia came out, she was carrying a bowl with a chicken that had lost its legs and wings inside. Zhou Hongxia's mother-in-law, Zhou Cuihua, saw this and hurriedly asked Zhou Hongxia what was wrong.

"Didn't I tell you to give it to Mingfeng and Qiaoqiao? We can just eat the rabbit."

It turned out that the rabbit that Lin Yuwei brought was stir-fried with chili peppers, and Liu Mingfeng and the other two could not eat spicy food due to injuries, so everyone decided to send the chicken in for them to eat, and they could just eat the rabbit and stew. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hongxia brought it out. Zhou Hongxia said she didn't want to serve it, but Wu Qiaoqiao said that if everyone didn't eat it, they wouldn't eat it either.

When Liu Ercheng heard this, he knocked on the table and signaled that everyone should eat. Since Qiaoqiao asked everyone to eat, then everyone should eat. During this time, he could just find a way to get some good food for the two of them.
