When he opened his eyes again, Lin Ke saw his mother carefully testing her breathing.

She said hoarsely, "Mom, what are you doing?"

When Zhong Xiu saw that her little girl had woken up, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment.

She said shyly, "My dear, you're awake. I didn't do anything. I just checked on you. Haha, haha..."

Zhong Xiu didn't know what was wrong with her. After her daughter was injured, she always felt uneasy.

When her daughter was sleeping, she would occasionally want to reach out and touch her, to feel her daughter's steady breathing, so that her anxious heart could calm down.

Lin Jian saw this but didn't expose her. This could be considered a kind of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Let time heal it slowly.

Lin Ke changed the subject and asked, "Mom, what time is it?"

"My dear, it's 16:00 now. You must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat. We have meat porridge today. Your grandfather and uncle brought some bacon at noon."

Zhong Xiu was in high spirits when he said this, and it was obvious that he was also a child who was spoiled.

Lin Ke remembered that he had four uncles, and everyone on his grandparents' side doted on his mother.

Even though there has been a drought in the past two years, my grandparents and uncles would send over some food from time to time.

I think I was sleeping when they came this time, so I missed the opportunity to meet my uncles.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. Give the meat porridge to my brother."

"Everything is there, everything is there, dear. Don't worry and eat. Wait, I'll bring you the food."

After saying that, Zhong Xiu called Xiao Shitou to accompany Lin Ke.

He brought two bowls of meat porridge and handed them to the two children.

The difference is that Lin Ke’s was a full bowl, while Xiao Shitou’s was only half a bowl.

Seeing this, Lin Ke was about to pour some meat porridge into the small stone bowl, but was collectively opposed by his mother and brother.

But to be honest, the energy liquid produced by the system is still very useful. After staying in the space for so long and sleeping for most of the day, Lin Ke didn't feel hungry at all.

But with the meat porridge, Lin Ke still instinctively felt a little greedy.

Maybe this body hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

After Lin Ke had eaten one third of the meat porridge, he found that his younger brother was holding the bowl and looking at him eagerly.

"Brother, why don't you eat it? There is meat in it."

Little Stone said seriously: "I'm worried that my sister won't have enough to eat, so I want to save some for her."

Lin Ke was stunned when he heard this.

Then I felt my nose getting sour.

She thought that she had lived for more than 30 years in her previous life, and for the first time she was moved by a little kid.

Lin Ke raised her head and blinked, letting the tears that were about to well up retreat. Then she turned around and smiled at Little Stone and said, "Sister doesn't want to eat. Little Stone, you can eat it yourself. Sister can't even finish this bowl. If you don't believe me, look, sister's belly is so full."

Little Shitou looked at the half bowl of porridge left in his sister's bowl, then looked at Lin Ke's deliberately bulging belly, and obediently drank the porridge in his own bowl.

Lin Ke took a few more sips and saw that his brother had finished drinking. The little guy even licked the bottom of the bowl cherishingly.

Lin Ke felt sad again.

While thinking that her mother wouldn't have to wash the dishes later, she poured half of the meat porridge in the bowl into Xiao Shitou while he wasn't paying attention.

Then, when Little Stone was about to fall back, she tricked him and said, "Little Stone, I really can't eat anymore. Didn't you just see my stomach? It's too bloated. Please help me share some of the burden, or my mother will scold me."

Shitou opened his big, blinking eyes and said: Do you think I believe it?

Although Shitou didn't understand the phrase "well-intentioned", he fully understood his sister's intention.

So she wiped her tears and drank the meat porridge in her bowl in big gulps.

Lin Ke: How come this kid is crying just because he’s drinking porridge?

So he asked, "Little Stone, what's wrong with you? Is the porridge not tasty?"

"Woo, porridge is so delicious, woo, woo, woo~~~"

Shi Tou: My sister was injured so badly, but she still shared all the meat porridge that was used to nourish her body with me. She is so good to me. I will definitely be filial to her in the future.

Lin Ke, who was unaware of the situation, smiled and said: This silly child.

When Zhong Xiu and Old Lady Jiang heard their little kid crying, they quickly ran to the room.

I’m just afraid that something might happen to my daughter/granddaughter.

When I entered the room, I saw the brother and sister crying and laughing.

The two of them felt relieved immediately.

Lovingly asked the two children if the meat porridge tasted good.

"It's delicious. It's really delicious. I've never tasted such delicious meat porridge."

Xiao Shitou raised his hand actively to speak.

Lin Ke also nodded to indicate that it was delicious, and asked, "Grandma, Mom, have you drunk it?"

"Drink it, drink it. We all drink it. Drink it obediently. Grandma will make eggs for you tomorrow."

When Little Stone heard Egg's words, his eyes lit up.

I asked anxiously, "Are these the eggs that Aunt brought over at noon? I counted them, there are ten. Let's save them for my sister. She lost so much blood, she needs to be well nourished."

After saying this, he nodded seriously.

"Okay, give it to Ke'er, and also give it to our little Shitou. Little Shitou and his sister are both grandma's precious eggs."

Shitou probably often heard his grandmother say this, so he echoed, "Yes, my sister is the big baby, and I am the little baby."

"Hahaha!"

The room was filled with laughter.

As Lin Heng walked into the house, he heard laughter.

His brows, which had been slightly furrowed due to the rising food prices and all kinds of bad news, suddenly relaxed.

There was also a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

With such a good family and my precious daughter being out of danger, what more could I ask for in life?

So he went straight to his daughter's room and joined the family's laughter.

That night, before Lin Ke had time to enter the space summoning system, he heard his parents chatting.

"Brother Heng, what do you think of what my father said today? Have you checked the grain today? How is the price?"

"Yes, I've checked. The price has increased by another 5 wen in the past two days. Now brown rice costs 8 wen per pound, and polished rice costs 15 wen per pound. Not only that, the prices of things in the grocery store have also increased to varying degrees."

"Oh? The grocery store has also increased its prices?"

"Yes, recently the price of salt and sugar has increased by 10 wen. Now a pound of salt costs 35 wen, and a pound of sugar costs 45 wen."

"What do you think of what Dad said? Have you heard any rumors in the county?"

"My third uncle said that the north was defeated. I also heard our boss mention it. It seems that two months ago, the capital recalled General Qin and did not provide food and wages to the Qin army. After the people of Dali killed our Qin army soldiers, they found that they were all filled with straw."

Zhong Xiu screamed in surprise, but then quickly covered her mouth for fear of disturbing her family.

A pair of eyes looked at Lin Heng in horror.

"Then what should we do? We are only one month away from the border of Dali Kingdom."
