After breakfast, at Dad's insistence, Mom borrowed a wheelbarrow from a neighbor, spread some hay on it, put a mattress on it, lifted Dad onto it, and put a field combat sleeping bag on him.

Dad was quite puzzled as to what the light tube on his body was. Mom was afraid that he would ask, so she said for the first time:

"I made it for you. If you don't like it, don't go."

Dad was choked, not knowing why his wife, who was always gentle and virtuous, was so angry. Mom had already pushed the wheelbarrow out.

Wen Meijiu came out of the house and shouted across the wall:

"Mom, slow down, wait for me."

Mother was afraid that she would follow and that father would ask questions that he shouldn't ask, so she turned around and said:

"No need, just let Jinxiang follow. We don't know how it will go on the first day."

Afterwards, he shouted Jinxiang at the top of his voice.

Jin Xiang knew what she was doing, so she ran out to catch up with her mother. However, her mother was afraid that Wen Meijiu would not obey her, so she said:

"Hurry up and send your sister into the house first."

Jinxiang pushed Wen Meijiu into the house. Wen Meijiu looked at her mother in confusion. She had legs and could walk, so why was she so polite?

Yesterday, Wen Meijiu had already told Jinxiang to follow her. She had a lot of things to do and just wanted to send her father off and leave.

Now that her mother obviously didn't want her to go, she decided not to go.

After his mother passed away, Wen Meijiu took out paper and pen from the space and began to write and draw on them. Soon he designed a wheelchair.

Dad’s leg won’t heal in a short time. We have to slowly find a good doctor to have hope. It’s very inconvenient for him to go out during this period. It would be much more convenient if he had a wheelchair.

She went out with the drawn blueprint, and as soon as she went out, she saw Lanling sitting next to the stove and picking up ashes.

What is this little guy doing?

Wen Meijiu walked over quietly out of curiosity, and saw Lanling digging out a black object from the ashes under the stove. It burned his little hands so much that he had to swish it left and right.

Seeing the little guy frowning and trying to put the food in his mouth, she snorted:

"What is this that you eat?"

Lan Ling was startled, and the black ball in his hand rolled down his chest to the ground, swaying back and forth a few times.

"I, I, I didn't eat anything."

Lanling was a little flustered for a moment, his eyes flickering around and he didn't dare to look directly at Wen Meijiu.

His second sister always scolds him for being ignorant. He gritted his teeth and didn't eat the steamed corn bread today, but his stomach was growling with hunger afterwards. He could only take out the vegetable dumplings left over from the morning and bake them. Maybe the crispy crust would taste better.

Seeing him like this, Wen Meijiu kicked the black thing with her foot. It took her a long time to realize that it was a burnt vegetable dumpling.

“Is this thing edible?”

Wen Meijiu was both angry and amused, and kicked the thing far away.

The corners of Lanling's mouth twitched and his brows were furrowed. He watched helplessly as his delicious food was kicked to the side of the pit by his elder sister, leaving him no chance to pick it up.

"Get up and follow me into the house."

Wen Meijiu couldn't bear to see his pitiful look, and knew that he would be hungry during the journey, so he prepared food for him in advance.

Lanling supported himself with his arms behind his back, and felt embarrassed when he thought about it.

In the morning, he had already acted like a hero. The eldest sister asked him to come into the house. She must have not eaten the steamed corn bread herself, so she left some for him.

He has earned a good reputation, and now he has to eat big sister's rations. It's not right no matter how you think about it, but he is starving. What should he do?

Seeing that he didn't move, Wen Meijiu turned around and called him again.

Lanling then slowly stood up and moved towards the house step by step, as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds.

If the second sister knew about this, she would definitely scold him for being useless, but he couldn't disobey the eldest sister's orders, and his stomach was growling again. It was really difficult to be a human being.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally entered the house. Without waiting for Wen Meijiu to take out the things from behind him, he hurriedly said:

"Sister, please eat. I'm not hungry."

Wen Meijiu knew very well how much he ate. The corn paste he had in the morning was not enough to fill his stomach.

"I've already eaten it. This is the magic lunch box I left for you. Just add water to it and you can have a delicious meal in a while. Try it."

In the blink of an eye, Wen Meijiu took out the self-heating lunch box from the space, walked around behind him, and handed it to Lanling.

Lanling had never seen such a strange thing before. He watched Wen Meijiu open a square box, remove the top layer, pour water on the bottom layer of white object, then put the top layer with white rice and water on it, covered it with a lid and waited.

He walked around the box on the table several times, raised his big, blinking eyes to look at the warm wine, and pointed his finger at the box with some suspicion.

"hot!"

As soon as Wen Meijiu's words came out, Lanling, who was scalded, quickly retracted his fingers and kept rubbing them, but his eyes never left the box.

"Let me see if it's burned."

Wen Meijiu pinched his fingers to check. Fortunately, at the beginning, the temperature of the lunch box was not too high and he did not get burned. They were just a little red from being rubbed by him.

"Sister, sister, look, it's smoking!"

Wen Meijiu was worried that he would feel pain, but his attention was on the box. When he saw the hot steam coming out of the box, he opened his eyes wide in shock and jumped up and down.

"Keep your voice down."

Wen Meijiu was afraid that his voice was too loud and would attract people outside, so she stopped him in a low voice.

"I told you, this is a self-heating lunch box, of course it will emit smoke, otherwise how can the rice be cooked?"

Xiao Lanling nodded vigorously, not knowing whether he had listened to Wen Meijiu's words or not. He looked at the box again and again, feeling extremely curious.

The elder sister was right, it really does generate heat and can even burn people. This thing is so magical!

There was also a fragrance coming from it, the fragrance of rice, which was so tempting that he couldn't help licking his lips.

Soon, the rice inside was almost steamed, and Wen Meijiu poured the vegetables in the seasoning packet into it in advance.

Because Lanling was still young, she chose the non-spicy tomato rice bowl.

The meal was ready. As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma was even stronger than before. Little Lanling swallowed his saliva and waited for Wen Meijiu to hand him the chopsticks before he started eating.

"Sister, it smells so good, what is this?"

Xiao Lanling didn’t know tomatoes, but she thought they were delicious and sour, with beautiful colors, and they even had eggs inside.

His question stumped Wen Meijiu. She suddenly remembered that tomatoes had not yet been introduced to the Kingdom of Yan at that time.

“Oh, this is called tomato.”

"Tomato, what a strange name, I've never seen it before."

Wen Meijiu laughed in his heart, “No one except me has ever seen this.”

Xiao Lanling quickly finished the meal, and after wiping his mouth, he subconsciously said:

"Sister, this is really delicious. I wish I could eat it again."

After saying this, he realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and he quickly waved his hand and said:

"I'm just talking, eating it once is enough."

After saying this, he lowered his head guiltily. The tomato was so delicious that he even forgot to ask his elder sister if she wanted to eat it when he was eating it just now.

This thing must be very precious. My eldest sister may only have this one portion. He asked to eat it. It was really too much.
