I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

[Rewards: 35 points for eating melons, plus 1 pheasant, 35 catties of spiced melon seeds, 35 catties of fried peanuts, and 35 catties of watermelon. The total points are now 36.]

[How many points do I need to redeem the beauty pills you said could make me more beautiful last time? ]

【10 points. 】

[10 points is a good deal. How many pills of this beauty pill do I need to take to become beautiful? ]

【One piece is enough. 】

[Oh~ Can we have a deal, so I can try this beauty pill first? 】

[That won't work. We have a rule that you must have 100 points to open the mall.]

[You don't even give me this little bit of sweetness, and the reward is not attractive. I am not interested in doing the mission anymore. Anyway, my disease has been cured, and I won't die anyway, so why should I do the mission? ]

The system panicked, [Host, if you don't work hard to eat melons and supplement the story line, the novel will collapse and we will still die. ]

[What does that mean? What additional storyline? What novel will die if it collapses? ]

【...】

[Don't play dead. I know you're unreliable. You asked me to eat melons every day, one a day. I thought it was strange at the time. How could there be so many melons to eat? ]

[Um... that is... we seem to have entered a pirated novel, and it is a discontinued novel...]

[A pirated article? And it’s not updated anymore! I told you that you’re unreliable! ]

[Wow... I didn't know it would be like this. I only discovered it after I came in. 】

【So what should we do now? 】

[Continue to eat melons, fill in the story line, and give the novel a perfect ending, and we will complete the task. ]

[Wait a minute, you said this is a discontinued post, so where is it discontinued? ]

[The story ends when the male and female protagonists just get together. 】

[In other words, I still have to give way to the heroine? Otherwise, the novel will fail and I will die? ]

[That's right. 】

[So now I either have to divorce Lu Jingchuan or die. Anyway, I want the hero and heroine to be together, right? If that's the case, then I'll just change the heroine. I'll be the heroine myself and give this discontinued novel a perfect ending.]

[Host, the male and female protagonists are determined from the beginning. It is a taboo to change the protagonist in the middle of a novel. ]

[Oh, I'm so stubborn. I've already stopped writing. I'll continue writing the rest. Anyway, I just need a perfect ending. Hehe... It just so happens that our An An doesn't need to change her mother. The family of three will have a perfect ending.]

[What the host said seems to make sense. 】

[The original owner has no impression of this husband in her memory, and there is no photo of him at home, so she can't see what he looks like. She only vaguely remembers that he seems to be quite tall and handsome. Can you see it over there, 001? ]

[I can only extract it from your memory, and I cannot restore the male protagonist's appearance here. ]

【It’s really useless! 】

【Host... whimper. 】

[Bullshit, there is nothing here, I am dragged into a hiatus, even the ending has to be written by myself, even the rewards have to be exchanged with points, I really have no motivation to complete this task. ]

[......Or, how about I open the mall in advance and buy the host a beauty pill, but only this time. ]

[Wouldn't it be enough if you had said that earlier? I don't have any aspirations in life, just to be beautiful, rich, and healthy.]

【...】

[10 points are deducted, exchange for a beauty pill, the total points are 26, host, do you want to use it now? ]

[Wait, will this beauty pill make you beautiful all at once, or will it make you beautiful gradually? ]

【You will gradually become more beautiful. 】

【Come, show off in my mouth. 】

【...】

A sweet pill was thrown into my mouth. It tasted similar to the health pill I took last time, both were sweet.

Ji Xiaoxi felt it carefully, then ran to the mirror with a broom and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, but she didn't feel any changes on her face at all.

The system said that you will become more beautiful slowly, and I guess it will really come slowly.

"Xiaoxi, we're back~" Shen Jiao, who had just returned from work, called Ji Xiaoxi as soon as she got home, and couldn't wait to share today's gossip with her gossip buddies.

"You're back. I've prepared the food. Please sit down first and I'll serve it to you." Ji Xiaoxi smiled at them and put the broom away.

"Xiaoxi, I'm with you. Let me tell you, Xue Baocai's family split up today, and Jin Xiufen and Xue Shengcai had a falling out. It's so funny." Shen Jiao followed her into the kitchen.

"Really? Tell me in detail." Although Ji Xiaoxi had heard about it from the system a long time ago, Shen Jiao's way of telling gossip was very funny. She could always recombine the gossip into a new story from a different angle.

"Jin Xiufen asked Xue Shengcai to give her 20 yuan a month for living expenses. Xue Shengcai refused, so Jin Xiufen hugged his thigh and bit it, making Xue Shengcai scream..."

“No…” 10 yuan a month?

"Nothing? Oh, you mean why he didn't blackmail Xue Baocai? Xue Baocai is not her biological child anymore, she can't ruin the relationship now. Her eldest son is not around, and she has to rely on Xue Baocai if there is anything in the countryside. She is very smart, and when the time comes, one will pay and the other will do the work, she will be very happy."

"Jin Xiufen has been a widow for so many years and has never suffered any loss. She is also a calculating person."

"Of course. Hey, Xiaoxi, how did you make this wild vegetable dumpling? Why is it so delicious? It seems to have the flavor of meat."

As soon as Shen Jiao finished speaking, the others immediately reached out for their chopsticks and picked up a wild vegetable dumpling to taste.

"Delicious, these wild vegetable dumplings are so fragrant." The second brother Lu Jingyi also praised.

"Good, the dumplings made by mom are great." Lu Qian'an didn't forget to praise his mother even when his mouth was full of dumplings.

"I added a little bit of minced meat to this vegetable dumpling, so it will be more fragrant." Ji Xiaoxi touched her son's hair and picked up another vegetable dumpling for him.

She was awarded two pounds of meat as a reward for eating the melon, and it would be too obvious to make a stir-fry with it, so she thought of chopping up one pound of meat and adding it to the wild vegetable dumplings, and even frying the fatty parts in oil to make them more fragrant.

The seasonings at home are too simple, just salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. If you want to make the dishes fragrant, you have to work hard on other aspects. Fortunately, she is a foodie and usually likes to study food and drinks. There are many kinds of wild vegetables in spring, and she has been craving for them for a long time.

"Kid, isn't it a waste to put meat in these wild vegetable dumplings? How much meat did you put in?" Du Yumei asked.

"One...half a pound."

"You put half a pound of meat in the vegetable dumplings? Don't cook it next time. It's such a waste of meat."

"Mom, meat can be eaten no matter how it's cooked. Besides, look how delicious everyone is eating it. I made a lot of wild vegetable dumplings. If everyone is full, they will have more energy to work."

Du Yumei was used to being frugal, so meat was only seen on the Lu family's dining table once a week. Every time they cooked a stir-fry, a big bowl of cabbage, radish, etc. Everyone would pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks and look happy.

There is no one like Ji Xiaoxi, who chopped half a pound of meat into minced meat and stuffed it among the wild vegetable dumplings so that you can't even see it.

"Mom, I think Xiaoxi put a lot of effort into making these wild vegetable dumplings. Look at the vegetable filling, the color is beautiful and fragrant. It tastes much better than what we made before. I guess it's not just because of the meat." The eldest brother Lu Jingguo said while holding half a wild vegetable dumpling.

Sun Xuexiang listened to her husband and took a bite of the wild vegetable dumpling. She found that the wild vegetables inside were tender and fragrant, and better than all the wild vegetable dumplings she had eaten before. But she couldn't praise Ji Xiaoxi. She could only point to the bowls of Da Niu, Er Niu and Xiao Bao, asking them to eat more.

As for the two little guys, Lu Jun and Lu Di, they ate until their mouths were full of food crumbs without their parents asking them to do so.

Ji Xiaoxi looked at everyone's reactions and handed a small bowl to Lu Jingguo with satisfaction, "Brother, if you dip it in this sauce, it will taste different."

Lu Jingguo nodded, picked up half of the wild vegetable dumpling and dipped it in the red sauce. After taking a bite, he immediately gave a thumbs up, "It's spicy and fragrant. Xiaoxi, your sauce is really delicious. I can even use it to eat rice."

Ji Xiaoxi: "For this vegetable dumpling, I added a little salt and a few drops of oil when blanching the vegetables, so that the vegetables would not turn black after cooking and could retain their freshness to a greater extent. As for the flour, I used two kinds of flour. When mixing the vegetables, I added a little flour and then coated them with cornmeal after kneading them into a ball.

As for the dipping sauce, I used dried chili powder and minced garlic, added some seasonings, and then poured hot oil on it and stirred it.”

Du Yumei looked at the small bowl of garlic chili sauce with surprise, "Xiaoxi, can you teach me this? I'll send some to your uncle's house. Their cooking is not good, so make some of this sauce for them to eat with their steamed buns."

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll teach you after dinner."

Everyone in the Lu family was satisfied with the meal. Some children were even given an extra vegetable dumpling to keep as a snack when they were hungry in the afternoon.
