Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

The mother and her two children hurriedly sped up, and when they were about to catch up with the team, Zeng Siyuan came over with a worried look on his face.

"Zeng'er, let me push the wheelbarrow!" When Zeng's family saw Zeng Zhengen falling behind, they mistakenly thought she was tired, so Zeng Siyuan hurried over to help.

Zeng Siyuan wanted to say something else, but Zeng Zhengen interrupted him immediately, "Brother, I know you are worried about me, but I am really fine. On the contrary, my parents are old, what if they get sick from exhaustion? You should go and help them!"

Zeng Zhengen spoke so sincerely that Zeng Siyuan finally nodded helplessly and had to go back to the front to help push the cart.

Seeing this, the sensible Zhang Jiajun also hurriedly said: "Mom, let me help you push it together." The two little guys Zhang Jiaqi and Zhang Jiahu also ran over and said in unison: "Mom, there are us, we will help you push it too!"

Zeng Zhengen originally wanted to refuse the children's help, but she thought that now was a critical period for escaping famine, and if she spoiled the children too much, they would suffer in the future. She quickly adjusted her mind and did not stop the children's actions, but asked them to help together.

The mother and her four children worked together and soon caught up with the team, gradually closing the distance with the Zeng family.

"Mom..." Zeng Zhengen called to his mother, and when he saw her coming over, he handed her a water bag on the wheelbarrow, "Mom, I still have some water, you can take it and drink it with Dad."

Just now, she had quietly replaced the water in the water bag with spiritual spring water. The spiritual spring water obtained from the system lottery was indeed extraordinary. The bottle could hold nearly a ton of water. Even if the whole family drank this water along the way, it would be enough for them to sustain for quite a long time. What's more, this spiritual spring water can also strengthen the body. Let the great-grandfather and great-grandmother drink some to relieve fatigue while traveling.

However, Zeng's mother was unwilling to take it and waved her hands repeatedly, saying: "Child, your father and I still have water. How can I drink the water you brought?" Although they did not have much water left, she knew that her daughter and three children consumed a lot of water in a day. If the old couple drank this water, her daughter and the children would probably be out of water.

Zeng Zhengen smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I brought a lot of water. We are already in the mountains now, so we will definitely find a water source." Despite what she said, Zeng's mother was still unwilling to take the water bag. In her opinion, water is an extremely precious resource nowadays. If she took it, what would happen to her daughter and the children?

Seeing that Zeng's mother was so stubborn, Zeng Zhengen had no choice but to gently lift the cloth covering the wheelbarrow, revealing several water bags and bamboo tubes inside. "Mom, look, I still have so much water here! You can drink it without worry!"

Zeng's mother finally felt relieved when she saw the water bags and bamboo tubes. "Okay, I'll take the water bags." She carefully took the water bags and quickly covered them with cloth. She was secretly glad that her daughter had foresight. Nowadays, every household is short of water. Her daughter must not let others find out that she has so much water, otherwise it might bring disaster.

The team continued to move forward. At this time, they were far away from the foot of the mountain and gradually entered the mountain. There were big trees on the mountain to block the view, and the ground was also green. Although the leaves blocked the sunlight, the mountain road was not as easy to walk as the official road, and it was quite difficult to walk. Gradually, many villagers began to lose their strength and walked slower and slower.

"Pan Yang, I really can't walk anymore. I need to take a rest." An elderly woman said, panting and looking tired.

"Mom, my feet hurt so much, I can't walk anymore!"

"Master, I really can't walk anymore."

There were wailing sounds coming from all around, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Pan Yang reluctantly decided to let everyone stop and rest. Zeng Zhengen found a relatively flat place and stopped the wheelbarrow. Zeng's family also stopped nearby.

Zeng Zhengen felt a little uneasy when she saw the three kids' dry lips. She immediately took out a water bag filled with spiritual spring water and handed it to the kids: "Here, take this and drink some first."

Seeing the water bag, several children instinctively reached out to take it, but when they saw Zeng Zhengen hadn't drunk it yet, they shook their heads and said, "Mom, you drink it first, we're not thirsty yet."

Zeng Zhengen was delighted to see how sensible and considerate they were. "Don't worry, I still have some here, drink it!" She took out a water bag, opened it and drank a mouthful of the spiritual spring water.

Seeing that their mother had already drunk the water, the three cubs opened the water bag. The youngest, Zhang Jiahu, took a sip first, and his eyes lit up instantly. This water tasted so good, it was completely different from what he had drunk before.

Zhang Jiahu couldn't help but drink a few more sips of the spiritual spring water. Although he knew that water was very precious now, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet taste. Seeing his brother's reaction, Zhang Jiaqi couldn't help but drink a little more. At this time, Zhang Jiajun looked at the actions of his two brothers and couldn't help but frowned.

"Why are you so ignorant? Water is very precious. If you drink too much, there will be no water left." Zhang Jiajun couldn't help but say.

He was about to criticize the two of them, but he found that the water bag had been handed to him. Zhang Jiajun originally planned to take only a small sip, but after the coolness of the spiritual spring water slid down his throat, he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

Seeing that the water in the water bag was about to run out, Zhang Jiahu and Zhang Jiaqi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, you can't drink it all!"

Facing the accusations from his two younger brothers, Zhang Jiajun touched his head awkwardly: "I couldn't help it and drank a little more." He realized that he was blaming his younger brothers just now, but he didn't do well either, and he felt a little embarrassed.

The water was so delicious that he had never tasted such delicious water since he was a child. Especially after drinking the water, he felt his whole body was warm.

Zeng's mother had the same feeling as him. After the team stopped, Zeng's mother also took out the water bag that Zeng Zhengen gave her.

She didn't notice it when she was drinking it, but after drinking it, she felt that the water her daughter gave her was completely different from ordinary water.

"Old man, try this water and see if it's different from other waters!"

Zeng's mother touched Zeng's father and then handed the water bag to him.
