At Liu Ercheng's signal, everyone started eating, especially the children, who ate with their mouths full of oil. You know, they don't always eat this well, even during the New Year. Today there was chicken, rabbit, and meat. The children ate so much that they couldn't even lift their heads.

The adults would put meat and vegetables in the children's bowls as they ate, and they would smile as they watched the children eat with relish. Meanwhile, Zhou Cuihua's daughter-in-law, Wu Aiguo, had a bowl of chicken soup with some other dishes and a few pancakes brought to her house by Ma Ximei after the chicken soup was cooked.

After finishing their meal, Liu Ercheng and the others who were going to work later went back to rest. Zhou Cuihua and the others originally wanted to stay and help, but Zhao Xiuxiang sent them back to rest, saying that she wasn't going to work in the afternoon and could take her time to tidy up. Lin Yuwei said she could help too, especially since the Feng Minghao brothers were there.

After Zhao Xiuxiang washed the bowls used by them and the bowls and chopsticks used by Wu Qiaoqiao and the others, she took Feng Minghao and his brother, along with Liu Xiaobao, who insisted on helping, and Yuwei back to her home. She then had the three men move her and Lin Yuwei's belongings to Liu Mingshan's house.

She let Liu Minghao and his brother, along with Liu Xiaobao, tidy up their house and move in. Zhao Xiuxiang and Lin Yuwei tidied up their things. Liu Mingshan's house had two rooms with heated brick beds, so she and Lin Yuwei didn't share a room but each had their own. Zhao Xiuxiang even left a place for the two children to sleep in her room.

Wu Qiaoqiao and her three companions devoured the food Zhou Hongxia had brought. Two of them were from the post-apocalyptic world, where there was nothing to eat, while the other two were children who had never had a decent meal since childhood, thanks to their mothers' care. Qiaoqiao picked up her bowl, drank the last mouthful of chicken soup, and let out a big burp. After Zhao Xiuxiang and the others took the dishes out to wash, Wu Qiaoqiao prepared to lie down and rest, but her large belly prevented her from lying flat, so she could only lie on her side.

Liu Mingfeng touched Wu Qiaoqiao's large belly, feeling the baby's movements inside, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. He thought back to when they were eating earlier. Although it looked like Wu Qiaoqiao ate a lot, it was probably because the baby was growing and pressing on her internal organs in the later stages of pregnancy. In reality, she didn't eat much at all. Watching Wu Qiaoqiao slowly sip the chicken soup at the end, and seeing the three of them eating there, Liu Mingfeng said with heartache.

"It must be tough. I'll get you some good food to help you recover after you give birth. I remember there should be plenty of food in the back hill."

Hearing Liu Mingfeng say this, Wu Qiaoqiao nodded happily. She also knew from the original owner's memories that the resources in the back mountain were very abundant, as long as you had the ability. Wu Qiaoqiao felt that she should be quite capable, after all, she still had her strength-based superpower. Although the strength-based superpower in her body was almost completely dissipated, the dissipated superpower had also strengthened her body. Wu Qiaoqiao now felt that her physical strength was about two levels higher than when she was in the early days of the apocalypse. Don't think it's anything special, but it's no problem for her to fight three or five adult men.

When Tie Dan and Da Ya heard their second uncle say that he would find something for their second aunt to eat after she gave birth, they stood to the side and raised their hands to indicate that they would also find something delicious for their second aunt.

Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng happily patted the heads of the two children. Just as the four of them were chatting and laughing, Zhao Xiuxiang came in.

“Mingfeng, do you think it’s okay for Tiedan and Daya to sleep with me tonight? They’re so big now, and it’s not very convenient for you two to be together. I’m afraid they might hurt you while they’re asleep.”

When Tie Dan and Daya heard that Fifth Grandmother and the others were not sleeping with Second Aunt that night, they both disagreed and held Wu Qiaoqiao's hand, saying that they wanted to sleep with Second Aunt.

When Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng saw the two children like this, they both said that the two children could sleep with them at night, and they would just have to be careful, since the kang (heated brick bed) was quite large.

Seeing the two children's condition, Zhao Xiuxiang could only curse Cai Shufen and the others in her heart for their terrible behavior, and then she didn't say anything more. Instead, she spoke to Tiedan and Daya.

"Do you want to sleep now? If not, come with me and your sister Weiwei to the back mountain to gather pig feed and see if we can find something to bring back for your second aunt to eat. Your second aunt and second uncle should rest more in the room so they can recover faster."

When Tie Dan and Da Ya heard that Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng should rest more so they could recover faster, they said they didn't want to sleep. So they slid off the kang (a heated brick bed), put on their shoes, grabbed Zhao Xiuxiang's hand, and walked outside, turning back to talk to Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng as they went.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, wait for us, we'll go find you something to eat."

Before Zhao Xiuxiang could finish speaking, the two children pulled her outside. Afraid that she might cause them to fall if she pulled too hard, she had no choice but to follow them, turning back to give instructions to Wu Qiaoqiao and Liu Mingfeng as she walked.

"You two rest well at home. I'll take Minghao and Yuwei to the back mountain to gather pig feed and see if we can catch any wild game. If you two need anything, just call Xiaobao. Xiaobao is in the yard. Especially Qiaoqiao, you rest well in your room. I'll cook dinner when I get back."

Liu Mingfeng and the other man agreed, and then watched as Zhao Xiuxiang was pulled out the door by the two children. At this moment, Liu Xiaobao also spoke up from outside.

"Brother, just call me if you need anything. I'm fixing some broken things in the yard."

When Liu Mingfeng heard Liu Xiaobao say that, he agreed and also said that he and his wife wanted to sleep and should not be disturbed unless necessary. Then the two of them heard people moving around in the yard. They were probably moving some broken or damaged things from Liu Mingshan's house to the yard to repair them, because they heard Zhao Xiuxiang tell Liu Xiaobao to nail the stool more securely.

The sounds in the courtyard gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of Liu Xiaobao mending things. Wu Qiaoqiao got up, carrying her pregnant belly, and walked to the door, closing it and locking it from the inside. After locking the door, Wu Qiaoqiao quickened her pace and walked towards the bed. Liu Mingfeng, who was sitting nervously on the bed, called out softly. It seemed that if he weren't unable to move, he would have gotten up to support his young mistress.

"Slow down, slow down, Grandma, don't forget you're heavily pregnant. Watch your step."

Wu Qiaoqiao ignored him and walked to the bedside to sit down. Liu Mingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Qiaoqiao sit on the bed. He was really scared that Wu Qiaoqiao would give birth to this baby.
