Before dinner, Li Changle moved the small wooden table from the main room to the kitchen. The iron pot on the stove was cleaned and filled with water. Firewood was added to the stove to boil water, which would be used to wash hands and face later.

Compared to the cold main room, the kitchen had a more homely feel. The three of them gathered around the stove and had a hearty meal.

After Li Changle finished a big bowl of noodle dumpling soup, his stomach felt a little better. Even without oil or salt, it was much more flavorful than wild vegetable porridge. After all, there were three eggs beaten into the soup, which was such a luxury.

After most of the day, she finally had the mood to ask Li Shixi about something that she had overlooked when she just woke up.

“Ding! The host sends warmth to the human cubs, making them feel the happiness of being free from hunger.

Reward Contribution Points 2.

Current contribution points: 4. ”

Li Changle's eyes lit up. "Is this possible? The mission threshold of your Holy Mother system is not very demanding."

System: "Host, random tasks are triggered randomly. If any of your actions are detected to serve the other party, and the other party is aware of being served, the system will automatically reward contribution points."

After being enlightened by science, I suddenly feel that my future is promising.

She doesn't have to save the world. She can already provide a lot of output by being a qualified mother to these two children.

Then wouldn’t it be easy to get contribution points?

Li Shixi ate the dumpling soup while taking care of the fish at hand, naturally. This behavior of a brother taking care of his sister has obviously become a daily routine.

Li Changle glanced at the empty bowl in front of him, and took the spoon from Li Shixi with a guilty conscience, "Aunt is here to feed the fish, you should eat quickly, or the noodle soup will get cold."

Li Shixi is quick to accept good advice.

"Aunt...are you still going to look for uncle?" Li Shixi asked Li Changle casually while eating.

Li Changle looked at him in surprise, and happened to meet the child's eyes as he looked up at her.

"Shixi knows that he has been a burden to you. If it weren't for the fact that my aunt and my second grandfather had spent a long time to bring me out, and we happened to encounter bandits on the way, you might have been reunited with your uncle long ago."

Li Shixi said this and lowered his head again.

"But Shixi doesn't want to be sold by my second grandfather for food or to be a slave..." So even though the journey from Guangji County to Li County was very difficult, and even the three of them almost died at the hands of bandits, he never thought of giving up. He just relied on Li Changle.

He is too young. Without an adult to protect him, he can't move at all and will inevitably be kidnapped and sold.

Although this adult is weak, in his heart he is protected by his aunt.

It turns out that the original body had fallen to this point, in the final analysis, all in order to find her husband?

Li Changle had no impression of this at all, and there was no basis for inheriting the original owner's memories after traveling through time.

She held her forehead and organized her words. She found a lame excuse for her ignorance, but the child was young and she hoped to scare him. "Shixi... Auntie won't hide it from you. You and Yu'er almost didn't see Auntie anymore."

She will continue to take out various supplies from the system. She cannot always find a reasonable excuse to get away with it. There must be a reason to explain the source of these supplies.

Li Shixi suddenly widened his eyes, full of fear and panic: "Aunt..."

It scared the child.

Li Changle waved her hands hurriedly, "It's okay, isn't it?" She continued to make up a story, "It's just that I went to the Yama Palace and my mind was a lot more confused after I woke up. How did we get here? Who are the second grandfather and uncle you mentioned? I can't remember clearly..."

When Li Shixi heard this, tears started to fall. "Aunt, please don't die. If you are gone, what will happen to Yu'er and I? I can't take care of Yu'er by myself..."

"Don't cry, brother. The fish will be good." The well-fed fish stretched out her short hands and wiped away her brother's tears.

It would not be so much that they were just one adult and two children on the way to escape, but because they were overwhelmed by the big and small things that happened along the way, they were tossed around for a while, and their physical foundation was damaged, so they had no time to comfort their young daughter.

Li Shixi is the one who takes care of most of the fishes, but now he has become very proficient at it.

Li Changle was in a state of panic. She quickly tried to make amends, "Auntie hasn't even finished her words yet, why are you crying? Come with me."

She picked up Yu'er and walked out of the kitchen and into the main room first. She took off the child's shoes and tucked him into the quilt to cover him.

Li Shixi also followed into the room and stood under the bed, picking his fingers helplessly.

Li Changle pulled him to stand next to the wooden cabinet, opened the lid, and motioned for him to come closer and take a look.

Li Shixi didn't understand what was going on, so he just obeyed and walked forward.

He knew that this old wooden cabinet was empty; it was left by the previous owner of this household.

But when he grasped the edge of the wooden cabinet and looked inside, he almost screamed out.

A full basket of eggs was placed in the corner of the wooden cabinet, with a large dark gray blanket folded next to it.

Eggs are extremely precious in the north, which has been suffering from drought for three years. Li Shixi has forgotten when was the last time he ate eggs.

The drought in Guangji County where the Li family lives is more serious than in Li County. A year or two before the drought, there was a poor harvest and reduced production.

By the second year of the real drought, the fields had dried up and cracked, the crop yields had failed, the wells had dried up, the rivers had stopped flowing, and the earth was so scorched that almost no grass grew.

In despair, people searched everywhere for water, searching and fleeing along the way, just to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Some people became bandits while fleeing, some died while fleeing, and some people gathered together to form a team, supporting each other along the way, stopping and walking, and finally arrived in Li County or Lin County where the situation was relatively better.

The refugee groups that could be seen everywhere on the road almost all had no rations. They looked for food and drink wherever they went, such as tree roots, tree bark, or even a small bunch of hay.

We had never seen eggs again along the way, and we were always delighted to find a water source or a mud ditch near the place where we rested for the night.

Li Changle squatted down in front of him and made his expression serious. "My aunt died once, but Lord Yan Luo said that my aunt was not destined to die, and God did not kill me, so I was able to save my life."

"Aunt, then you won't get sick anymore?"

"Not only is she no longer sick, but my aunt has also received help from Lord Yan Luo, and has gained some new abilities. But Shixi has to help keep it a secret, and can't tell anyone, not even my good mother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Li Shixi turned around and looked into the wooden cabinet, and immediately understood her aunt's "skill".

Li Changle let out a long sigh, finally he managed to fool the guy.

"Aunt, can you secretly give two of our eggs to brother Shitou? Just two?"

Li Changle did not answer and waited for him to continue. As expected, the child was afraid that she would not agree, so he hurriedly explained:

"Aunt doesn't remember now, but Haopo often brought food to me and Yu'er. I know that was the food that Aunt left for my brother Shitou. Shixi didn't want it, but Yu'er would cry when he was too hungry, and he would sleep all day without getting up. Aunt, I was afraid...so..."

The more Li Changle listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. The child in front of him was only a second or third grade elementary school student in modern society, but he had already experienced a lot of suffering in the world.

She rubbed the top of the child's head and said, "Of course. Good grandmother has taken such good care of Shixi and Yu'er. Auntie can't thank you enough. Wait for a few days, and then we can find a reason to secretly send a few eggs to Good grandmother as compensation for brother Shitou, okay?"

Li Shixi nodded vigorously, his eyes shining.

Every time he took the food from his mother-in-law, he felt guilty, fearing that his younger brother Shitou would starve.

But he also didn't want the fish to starve.

He brought fish to every household in Lushui Village to borrow food.

But the disaster year had just passed, and the amount of relief grain distributed by the government was limited. People had just survived the drought, so they naturally calculated how much food they ate in order to survive the winter.

Besides, no one believed that a child of a few years old would be able to return the food to them in the future, and Madam Li was about to die.
