The two children couldn't believe what they had just heard.

They slipped away and ran off.

Grandma Zhao shook her head, amused.

The two children were on their way to get meat for their mother, but they stopped in their tracks some distance away.

As far as I can remember, their mothers always lived alone and didn't interact with other people in the village.

But now, Mother was surrounded by a dozen or so aunties. Their mother stood in the center, so beautiful and prominent that she could be seen at a glance.

My mother's skin was whiter than theirs, and she was much prettier. Her back was also straighter. Standing in the middle, she looked like a county magistrate in the crowd, exuding a particularly imposing and dignified aura.

My mother was chatting and laughing with those aunties, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

Mother...she's really so different now.

As a group of people approached, Wang Cuihua first noticed the two children. "What are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to come and help out?"

It turns out they were helping to deliver the meat.

Because they were bartering meat for other things, it wasn't just twenty jin (10 kg) anymore. It included ten jin (5 kg) of spare ribs, thirty jin (15 kg) of offal, forty jin (20 kg) of pig trotters, plus twelve jin (6 catties) of meat. Putting it all together, that was a huge amount. One basket wasn't enough to hold it all, so they used two large baskets.

The eldest child's eyes lit up instantly, and he stammered, "My...my family? They're all mine?"

The other women laughed, "Chen Da-wa, you're so happy you're crazy."

The two children used to look silly and would run around the village in tattered clothes. Now, they've finally put on winter clothes. Although they're old and patched, they look clean and tidy. The children look clean and energetic, and even the wild grass on their heads looks a little shiny.

If they keep eating this much meat, the two kids will get even fatter and look like normal kids.

However, some people were worried that these things might be sent to the Yin family, since Yin Lan's past was still there. But since they had received benefits from Yin Lan, they naturally wouldn't say it out loud.

The second child was already drooling, "Hehehehe..."

"Mom, why is there pork offal in the meat? I don't like eating pork offal!" Erwa suddenly saw other things in the meat and his face immediately darkened.

There's a reason for this. Maeda Yuwei and other bad kids often bullied the two kids and even threw unwashed pig intestines to the younger one to eat. So the younger one has a psychological trauma whenever he sees pig intestines.

The women looked somewhat embarrassed, and felt that they had taken advantage of Yin Lan.

Yin Lan ruffled Erwa's yellow hair. "You don't like to eat it, but your mother does. Once I've made it, you can't eat a single bite of pig intestines."

Erwa was very determined, his mouth almost twisted with anger, "I won't eat it, I'd rather die than eat it, if I eat it I'm a dog, I..." Although he was furious, he couldn't say anything more vicious.

Pig offal is really no good stuff, and the women, fearing that Yin Lan might change her mind, immediately said goodbye and left.

Yin Lan and her two children carried the things into the house together.

Of course, Erwa would never carry pig offal; he wouldn't even glance at it, much less eat it!

The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is not significant, around a few degrees below zero, so the meat won't spoil.

With so much meat tonight, it's natural to eat meat, and the red and white striped pork belly caught Yin Lan's eye.

Yin Lan made braised pork belly directly. She didn't skimp on the oil, as soy sauce is the soul of the dish. Yin Lan could only secretly get some from the system and add it in. She also added spices and cooked it until it was soft and tender, coated with honey. The aroma was so enticing that it made people's mouths water.

There wasn't enough rice to cook into a proper meal, so I made a few steamed buns with cornmeal.

A healthy diet combines refined and whole grains.

Rice mixed with braised pork sauce is simply the most delicious thing in the world. The two kids ate it with their mouths full of oil, without having time to say a word, they just kept eating.

Yin Lan was extremely satisfied with her meal.

Tonight might be the best meal that the entire Iron Sword Village has had in decades.

After all, meat is free, and some families are reluctant to eat meat during the Spring Festival, but today, every household is eating meat.

Even the air was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

But when it comes to deliciousness, Yin Lan's cooking is definitely number one.

After eating and washing up, the child has now developed the habit of boiling water to wash their face and feet every day. Once they got used to it, they found that washing their feet and face made them more comfortable to sleep.

In winter, there's no way to take a shower. In this kind of weather, the cold air blows into the house, and you're bound to catch a cold.

Once the stove is built, Yin Lan wants to add a bathroom and a toilet, and also have two more rooms, since the children can't all sleep together when they grow up.

As she was about to get up, Yin Lan suddenly remembered that her husband was coming back soon.

Where will he stay when he comes back?

Could it be that he slept with her?

That won't do, absolutely not.

The housing issue must be resolved as soon as possible.

But what's more important right now are her wild fruit jelly and lucky stone. She has to go to the county town tomorrow, and they're really out of rice at home. There are also other things that need to be bought.

Go to sleep early~ It's only 8 pm, and Yin Lan, who used to be partying until 3 am, is already yawning. So sleepy~

Half-asleep, Yin Lan suddenly remembered that she had so much meat in her house that she needed to take precautions against theft.

Five wild boars were killed, but there are still many left on the mountain.

By the way, we have too much meat at home, and it was only delivered today. We need to be wary of the village scoundrels. After all, there are no surveillance cameras in this era, and if something gets stolen, it's hard to explain.

Moreover, people from other villages will find out sooner or later, and then we'll have to be wary of outsiders.

Yin Lan couldn't sleep.

She opened her eyes and saw that all three children were fast asleep, which was perfect for her to sneak around and do something.

She searched through the system for a long time; it was truly vast, containing various worlds, such as ancient, modern, future, and post-apocalyptic...

It turns out she had been browsing the ancient category all along, no wonder the guns she bought were all old-fashioned, from the 70s or 80s, which is why they were considered ancient.

In modern times, there are so many different kinds of things available.

Yin Lan took a quick look around and found that in the post-apocalyptic world, there really were high-voltage power grids for sale. Depending on the size of the area, they would make them for you, and there were even sheltered versions.

Yin Lan spent all the money in the system to buy a high-voltage protective net with an area of ​​about forty square meters, which was just enough for her current thatched hut.

Click to install.

There's no response, but all the money in the system has been cleared.

Yin Lan hurriedly got out of bed and noticed a remote control on the floor. She pressed the start button and heard a faint "buzz."

Is it installed?
