Chapter 3 The First Reunion Dinner



Oh, I changed my body. Hey, there is a four-leaf clover birthmark on my hand, the same pattern as the one on the space bracelet before. I touched the four-leaf clover birthmark and silently said "go in", and instantly stood on a piece of black land.

The Lingquan space is still there, but it has shrunk from five football fields to ten square meters. There is nothing but black soil. The Lingquan is only as big as a bowl, and a few drops of spring water cannot even cover the bottom of the bowl.

Her lightning ability also disappeared.

I couldn't help but hum a line of lyrics.

"I can't bear the pain, I really can't bear the pain. I miss you so much that I am dizzy."

Alas, I am weak and poor. Never mind. I will take it one step at a time. First, I will take a sip of the spiritual spring to nourish my body. I don’t want to drink that bitter medicine a second time.

Lingquan is still the best, refreshing. After taking a sip, the whole body feels refreshed. The feeling of weakness is instantly relieved by 80%, and the hands and feet can use strength. However, today's Lingquan is sold out.

This family is short of food and money. This small piece of black soil cannot be wasted. We must plant something. We will think about it tomorrow. The world is vast, and taking good care of your health is the most important thing.

Have a good night’s sleep!

I opened the door and walked outside. The morning breeze brushed my cheeks, curling smoke reflected the rising sun, and the green mountains in the distance were picturesque. Compared with the post-apocalyptic ruins, zombies rampant, and mutated plants and animals, the sense of happiness was overflowing!

Where are all the family members? It's so quiet everywhere.

Never mind, I'll wash up first. There's no one in the kitchen. An earthen stove takes up one-third of the room. There's a large water tank with half a tank of water by the door. I pick up a ladle and go to the tank. A thin and tender face with delicate features is reflected in it. Yangyang should be a beauty. She looks 80% like myself when I was a child in my previous life. I have a deep connection with the original owner.

From a 28-year-old aunt to a 13-year-old village girl, she has gained more than ten years of youth and made a lot of money. She has no way to repay her, so she can only take care of her family, who are now her own family.

After washing up, I was hungry. I had already digested the bowl of porridge from last night. Knowing that we were only eating two meals a day now, I would definitely have nothing to eat this morning. I couldn't resist but opened the lid of the pot. Wow! Inside was a bowl of hot and thick white rice and meat porridge and two boiled eggs!

"Good morning, sister. You look in good spirits today! There is breakfast prepared for you by mother in the pot." The eldest brother said as he came in carrying water.

The fifteen-year-old boy has an upright posture, but a slightly thin body, with bright eyebrows and eyes, and a firmness between his brows.

"Brother, have you all eaten? I can't eat alone."

"We're not hungry. We'll eat later. Doctor Guo said you're too weak and need to nourish yourself. Mother went to town yesterday and bought a lot of millet, white flour, and brown sugar... Five taels of silver can buy a lot, so don't worry about it."

Gu Xinran walked over, easily picked up a bucket of water and poured it into the water tank, saying proudly: "Look! I'm much better now."

Gu Yuchen was genuinely surprised. His sister couldn't normally carry anything, and her most common job was helping their mother embroider handkerchiefs and purses. Now, she could effortlessly lift over 50 kilograms of water. That seemed like a remarkable improvement.

"My sister is amazing! She even got better after falling down, but she still has to eat breakfast, or I'll make you suffer."

"You know what, I really feel stronger now. I'll wait for you to eat together. Our family must share the good and the bad. Where are the others in the family?"

Gu Yuchen poured another bucket of water into the water tank and replied, "Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma went to the fields to plant vegetables for winter storage, and Xuanxuan and Tingting went to dig earthworms to feed the chickens. The crops at home are full, and I have to go to the fields to water them now. I plant as much as I can, and I really hope for an autumn rain."

"Then you guys get busy, tell mom I'm cooking."

After saying that, he got to work and took the first step towards his goal of "keeping his family fat and healthy" - cooking.

When the grain jar was opened, there was only brown rice and black flour inside; when the cupboard was opened, there was half a jar of oil, a little salt, a handful of dried vegetables, a handful of wild vegetables, and a stack of bowls and chopsticks... Even with these, even a chef couldn't make delicious food!

I really want to eat braised pork, big white flour dumplings, and steamed fish... It is urgent to get money and food.

I didn't find any good ingredients, but I found a variety of vegetable seeds on top of the cabinet. I'll take a few of each, but not more. The huge ten square meters of space is really not sustainable. Oh, not yet. The spiritual spring and its surroundings take up one square meter, so only nine square meters can be planted.

Where are the nice things Mom bought yesterday? They should be in her room.

Go find out, will you be beaten for entering the room and looking for things without permission? Rather than eating well, just beat me.

Locked!!

Well, she's a super good housewife, no problem.

After the black flour is fermented, steam it in a pot and you have the staple food; put the brown rice in the pot, peel and crush the eggs and add them in, add the white rice and meat porridge, add two drops of the soul seasoning, spiritual spring water, and you have the health-preserving porridge; pick the wild vegetables, blanch them in water, mix them with oil and salt, and you have the cold dish.

A little bit of spiritual spring water is also added to the staple food and cold dishes, which makes the food delicious.

Alas, there are only two drops left of today's spiritual spring. In the end times, the spiritual spring space can absorb crystal cores to upgrade, but there are none here. What should I do? Just let it go. Everything depends on fate.

Gu Xinran had just finished cooking when she heard footsteps and children's laughter outside the yard.

The main force is back! Serve the food.

Xuanxuan washed his hands and asked, "Sister, sister, what delicious food did you cook? It smells so good."

Tingting, who was held by her big brother, smiled and said, "It's delicious."

The lovely Tingting is three years old. She is thinner than her peers, cannot speak long sentences, and walks unsteadily.

She was born prematurely when Gu's father brought her back three years ago. Her mother, who was eight months pregnant, could not bear the shock and was weak and sickly.

With the spiritual spring in hand, everything is there and will be fine.

Gu Xinran teased the children while setting the table, "Well, there are delicious dishes. Xuanxuan and Tingting, eat more so you can grow up plump and white."

When Mother Gu saw the different brown rice porridge, tears came to her eyes. "Why don't you listen to me, child? I told you to take good care of me, but you refused to listen. I am so useless. I let you suffer with me."

Gu Xinran came up to her mother, holding her face in her hands, "Mom, look carefully at your beautiful daughter. She's full of energy and looks so bright. She's healed!"

Grandma also came over to take a look and nodded Gu Xinran's head, "You smart boy, you are indeed much better. This is a good thing. Don't cry, Ranran's mother."

The family sat around the table, with a bowl of steamed buns, a plate of wild vegetables, and a bowl of porridge. Grandpa Gu raised his hand, took a steamed bun and said, "Let's eat."

Everyone, starving, gulped down their food. Xuanxuan drank a bowl of porridge and sighed, "Sister's cooking is so delicious. This porridge has meat and eggs, and it warms my whole body. I could eat ten bowls."

Tingting: "Seventy bowls"

Brother Gu: "The wild vegetables are crisp and not astringent at all."

Grandma Gu: "Even black flour steamed buns are not that hard to swallow anymore."

Mother Gu scolded with a smile: "You put so much oil in the cooking, and there is so much food, are you not going to celebrate tomorrow?"

Grandpa Gu: "Well, Ran girl is a good cook."

Even the taciturn grandfather gave his approval.

Gu Xinran smiled and bowed, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm short on ingredients and my skills are limited. From now on, I will try my best to take you to eat delicious food, three meals a day, and every meal will have meat. Mom, don't be stingy, let's find a way to make money together."

"Oh, that's great, sister is the best." Xuanxuan Tingting's eyes lit up.

The first reunion dinner after the time travel ended in a happy atmosphere. After eating the full meal, the family members felt that the fatigue of the morning was swept away.

The spiritual spring water has made an indelible contribution, but it is a silent lamb that silently dedicates itself.
