Chapter Three: Sleep is a Big Problem



Shen Qingyu quickly said goodbye: "Third Uncle, I'm going to pick some wild vegetables. I'll come to see you and Third Aunt later."

No sooner had I grabbed a tree than I let out a scream of "Hiss..." as my hand was pricked.

Shen Qingyu's mind went blank for a moment, and she found herself in a valley.

This is... space?

A time traveler's cheat code!

There were freshly picked bone-strengthening herbs at my feet, and in front of me was a large warehouse. The left corner of the warehouse was filled with all sorts of things, comparable to a supermarket, while the shelves on the right were all empty.

"Super Space 08 activated. Host Shen Qingyu, resource reserves 10%..."

A mechanical female voice sounded.

Before she could even investigate, Xiao Yunqi's displeased voice rang out: "Are you leaving or not?"

Shen Qingyu came to her senses, her consciousness returning to what was before her eyes. A large patch of bone-strengthening grass was still there, but the first bone-strengthening grass that had pricked her was gone.

"They're here, they're here."

Suppressing her curiosity and excitement, Shen Qingyu dug up some bone-strengthening herbs and hurried home.

By the time I got home, it was already dark.

The big yellow dog barked twice and wagged its tail as it came to greet them.

"Mom and Dad are back!" Xiao Bao's voice came from the kitchen.

Shen Qingyu went to the kitchen and saw the second and third sons tending the fire, while Da Bao stood on a stool, pouring rice bran into a large iron pot to mix with pig feed.

"Mother, the clothes are washed and hung under the eaves." Erbao's eyes crinkled with joy.

"Mom, the chickens and ducks are fed and put in their cages." The little brother smiled sweetly.

"Mom, help me stir it up, then we can feed it to the pigs." Da Bao said calmly.

"Okay. You guys are great at taking care of all these little things around the house. Mom will cook something delicious for you in a bit."

Shen Qingyu quickly praised him and casually waved the bone-strengthening herb in his hand.

The children are so well-behaved. If this were the 21st century, it would be good if they didn't cause trouble at this age.

"Mom, is this wild vegetable? How do you make it taste good?" Xiao Bao asked, interested in the food.

Shen Qingyu rolled up her sleeves: "You'll find out soon enough. You guys go and rest."

"oh……"

The children left the kitchen.

Xiao Yunqi took the initiative to take over the task of tending the fire.

"Start cooking a special meal, it's time to prepare it," Shen Qingyu instructed, her hands moving constantly.

"oh."

Xiao Yunqi skillfully started the fire, but his eyes were curiously watching Shen Qingyu's efficient movements.

Over by the big pot, let the rice bran simmer for a while, then pour in the pig feed, stir, and let it cool before feeding the pigs.

One small pot is used to cook rice, and the other is used to boil water.

Shen Qingyu quickly went to get the food that Xiao Yunqi had brought back today.

There was rice, noodles, and meat, as well as two bamboo shoots covered in mud.

Stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, then stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, and make some bone-strengthening herb meatballs—perfect!

Seeing that Shen Qingyu had only cut a small piece of meat, Xiao Yunqi frowned slightly: "Cut more meat, I'll go buy more if it's not enough."

Shen Qingyu looked up at the man: He's quite generous?

Is he very rich?

She nodded, then chopped up another half pound of fresh meat, added flour and eggs, and made meatballs.

By now, the water has boiled, the bone-strengthening herbs have been simmered into a soup, the meatballs have been added and cooked, and salt has been added.

After the meatball soup is served in a bowl, top it with chopped green onions and cilantro. It looks beautiful!

"Time to eat!"

Shen Qingyu shouted loudly.

After everyone was seated, as was customary, the soup was divided and drunk first before Xiao Yunqi could eat from the bowl.

Xiao Bao imitated Shen Qingyu by putting scrambled eggs with tomatoes on top of rice, took a bite, and was amazed.

"Big sister, second sister, you should put it on the rice too, it tastes so good."

"Little brother, stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork and rice is also delicious, hmph!"

Seeing their expressions, Shen Qingyu decided to go to her space another day to get the bibimbap sauce and make Korean bibimbap!

Let the children broaden their horizons!

The three children felt uneasy after witnessing their parents arguing in the afternoon.

To everyone's surprise, they were getting along very well that evening, and Mom even cooked such a delicious meal...

Will we stop arguing?

The children ate while frequently glancing at their parents' expressions.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyu couldn't help but tap Erbao's head with her chopsticks: "What are you looking at? Eat your food properly."

The mischievous Erbao let out a strange cry of "Ouch!" and put down his chopsticks to rub the top of his head.

The younger brother and the older brother couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha..."

Shen Qingyu couldn't help but grin as well.

Xiao Yunqi saw it all, lowered his eyes, and sighed silently.

The children ate to their hearts' content, but Shen Qingyu only drank a bowl of soup and ate two meatballs before stopping.

Digging is a form of exercise; combine it with eating less, and you're sure to lose weight!

The moon is rising; it's time to wash up and go to bed.

Shen Qingyu was worried: there were only two rooms and two beds in the house.

Three children in one room, so what about her and Xiao Yunqi...?

Shen Qingyu had never been in a relationship, and suddenly having a baby and a man was something she couldn't adapt to.

The worst part is, the man is ugly!

Fortunately, Xiao Yunqi noticed her embarrassment: "How about I go sleep with Lao San, and you let your two daughters sleep with you?"

Shen Qingyu nodded quickly and ran to call her two daughters over. Da Bao asked with a serious expression, "Mom, do you still want to divorce Dad?"

Shen Qingyu was stunned for a moment: "I..."

Da Bao: "It must be! Don't lie to me, otherwise you wouldn't be sleeping separately!"

Where did this kid learn all this?

Shen Qingyu's eyes widened: "Dabao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Dazhuang's father slept separately from his mother, and not long after, he divorced her. He never saw his mother again."

Erbao immediately chimed in.

Xiao Bao nodded quickly.

"Yes! That's right!"

have to!

All three are well-versed in divorce and remarriage procedures.
