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

Zeng's mother also advised: "Yes, elder sister, it is a great thing that the child returns safely, don't be too excited."

Other villagers followed suit, and finally, Chen Yu's expression slowly eased. She said to Zeng Zhengen with gratitude: "Zeng girl, this time it's really thanks to you! If it weren't for you, my grandson would have been in danger. You saved his life again! We can't repay your kindness even if we work like slaves in this life!"

Chen Yu's gratitude to Zeng Zhengen was like a surging river. She knew that Zeng Yatou was her family's great benefactor, saving her grandson time and time again, and she must repay her well in the future.

Zeng Zhengen waved his hands quickly and said modestly, "Auntie, we are all fleeing famine together. It is only natural for us to help each other. Please don't be so polite."

Chen Yu was still grateful, and turned around to let Xiaotian kowtow to Zeng Zhengen to express his gratitude. Seeing that Xiaotian was about to kneel down, Zeng Zhengen quickly stepped over and quickly helped him up from the ground.

"No, no, no, forget about kowtowing! It's just a simple task, I feel embarrassed if you do this." Zeng Zhengen said quickly. As a person from the 21st century, what she disliked most was the sense of ritual of kneeling at every turn.

Zeng's mother knew her daughter's temperament and chimed in, "Yes, elder sister. We are all fleeing famine together. There is no need to be so serious about this matter. It would be too formal for the child to kowtow to express gratitude."

After everyone persuaded him for a long time, Chen Yu finally gave up the idea of ​​letting his grandson kneel down to Zeng Zhengen.

"Now that we have found the people, let's continue on our way! If we are any later, the refugees will flood into the city." Pan Yang suggested.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, immediately packed up their things and continued on their way.

Half an hour later, the team finally left Anshun and continued south along the official road. To the south of Anshun was Huzhou, but although the two cities were adjacent, the distance was not close, nearly 400 miles. At their speed, it would take at least 20 days to arrive by walking.

Fortunately, the previous carriage was still there and had not been taken away by the refugees. The children could continue to sit in the carriage and travel, saving them a lot of hardship.

Zeng Zhengen settled the children down and made sure they were secure in the carriage before walking to Zeng's mother's side.

"Mom, when we get to Huzhou, the weather will probably be cold. I thought of waiting until we get to the next town and buying some thicker clothes for the children, you and dad, so that they won't catch a cold." Zeng Zhengen said while looking up at the sky.

It's autumn now, and it will be almost winter when we get to Huzhou.

Although Huzhou is located in the south, it is still cold in winter, but not as cold as in the north.

Zeng's mother said with concern: "Your father and I still have thick winter clothes, so there is no need to buy new ones. Just buy some for the children and yourself. If you don't have enough money, I have some more for you to use." As she was about to look for the silver, Zeng Zhengen stopped her quickly.

"Mom, no need, I have silver here." Zeng Zhengen chuckled. She knew that the gold, silver and jewelry she had looted from the robbers were still in her space, which was enough for them to survive the winter.

The team continued to move forward for nearly two hours, and had walked more than 20 miles from Anshun. There were fewer and fewer refugees along the way. Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Pan Yang suggested stopping for a while to rest.

As soon as the team stopped, the villagers found a place to sit down and took out some dry food to eat to restore their strength. Zeng Zhengen saw that everyone was chewing dry and hard biscuits, and he didn't want to eat them, so he took out the unpacked instant noodles from the space and started a fire to boil water.

When the hot water boiled, she put the noodles into the pot, poured in the seasoning packet, and covered the pot. After a while, the fragrant instant noodles were cooked, and the fragrance instantly spread around.

"Mom, this noodles smells so good." Zhang Jiahu sniffed and said.

Although he hadn't eaten the noodles yet, he knew just by smelling them that they must be delicious.

Zhang Jiajun was a calm person. When Zeng Zhengen took out the noodles, he noticed that his mother's noodles were slightly different from the usual ones. Now that he saw Zeng Zhengen using boiling water to make noodles, he was more certain of his doubts.

"Mom, where did you buy this noodles? Why do they look different from what we usually eat?" Zhang Jiajun walked to Zeng Zhengen and asked in a low voice.

Zeng Zhengen's heart suddenly tightened. She didn't expect that she had been very careful, but Zhang Jiajun still found something strange. However, she was quick-witted and smiled as she replied easily, "This is what my mother bought in Anshun. It's called instant noodles. It's said that they are fried in oil. You can eat it after soaking it. It's convenient and saves trouble. My mother thought that it was hard to travel on the road, so she bought some."

After listening to Zeng Zhengen's explanation, Zhang Jiahu nodded and did not ask any more questions. Zeng Zhengen breathed a sigh of relief, finally fooling this guy.

After the instant noodles were ready, Zeng Zhengen scooped out half of it and brought it to Zeng's house.

Zeng's mother looked at the instant noodles her daughter brought with surprise.

"Zeng'er, why did you bring so many noodles?"

As soon as Zeng's mother finished speaking, she discovered that the noodles her daughter brought seemed different from the noodles they had eaten before.

The noodles were curly and golden in color, which made Zeng's mother happy, especially the fragrant smell, which was much more tempting than the noodles they had eaten before. Zeng Zhengen took the opportunity to repeat the explanation he had given to Zhang Jiajun before, and Zeng's mother listened with great interest and had no doubts.

"There are noodles like this? This is so convenient!" Zeng's mother's eyes sparkled with excitement. "You only need to soak them in boiling water and they are ready to eat. It is a great choice when traveling! In the future, we just need to bring enough water and we can enjoy hot noodles anytime."

She thought to herself that when she arrived at the next town, she would definitely ask Zeng'er to buy more of these convenient noodles so that they wouldn't have to eat dry biscuits on the road all the time. Especially for Zeng Zhengen, such delicacies would obviously make her more satisfied.

"Okay, I'll look for it when we get to the next town." Zeng Zhengen nodded in response, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She just happened to have a whole box of instant noodles, and she finally had an excuse to take them out.

Suddenly, she turned her eyes to the villagers around her. She had roughly understood the characters of these villagers along the way. If she could exchange the instant noodles for some food, it would not only solve her problem of the whole box of instant noodles, but also help the villagers get through the difficult times. It was a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

The more Zeng Zhengen thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible. It would not only help the villagers, but also avoid wasting his own inventory. He immediately decided to go over and talk to Pan Yang about it.

After Zeng Zhengen had made up his mind, he planned to wait until he arrived at the next town before telling Pan Yang about this matter.

Zeng Zhengen and his group were eating instant noodles here, and the villagers nearby also smelled the fragrance of the noodles.

Although the villagers were very curious about the fragrance from Zeng Zhengen's side, there was no villager so blind as to run to Zeng Zhengen's side and do such an unpleasant thing.

After eating the instant noodles, Zeng Zhengen specially boiled a pot of hot water and then simply washed the used pots and pans.

After everyone had packed up and took a short rest, Pan Yang started to let everyone continue on their journey.

There is no drought here, and since it is in the south, there is an unusually large amount of rain here.
