Zhou Xiaozhou opened a box nearby and found some stationery inside, then put it aside and opened another box. She opened three boxes in a row before she found what she was looking for.

A large bag of colorful things was placed in front of Wu Xiaobao. He didn't know what it was, but he was very excited.

Zhou Xiaozhou picked a purple-wrapped one, opened it and fed it to him. He was immediately attracted by it. It was sweet, it was sugar, better than the maltose that grandpa brought back during the Chinese New Year, and it also had a fragrance. Wu Xiaobao's eyes lit up. He didn't know what the smell was, but it didn't stop him from thinking it smelled particularly good.

He grabbed another pink candy, unwrapped it and fed it to Wu Sanmei. Sanmei was very shy, and few people fed her food directly like this. But the taste in her mouth touched her. It tasted sweet, mixed with an indescribable fragrance.

"Delicious, right?" Zhou Xiaozhou also grabbed one and opened it. This was the most common fruit-flavored candy on the market, but the Wu family's children ate it with smiles on their faces, which showed that they had never eaten these snacks before.

Zhou Xiaozhou grabbed a handful for Wu Xiaobao and said, "Give it to your mother."

Wu Xiaobao looked puzzled.

"Let her try the taste. I'll save the extra for you. If you want to eat it, go find your mother."

Wu Xiaobao was so happy that he could eat this big meal for a long time.

He happily ran to the kitchen, where his mother Zhang was soaking beans, preparing to cook bean rice the next day.

The beans were harvested last fall, and they were the only ones left at home, but Zhou Xiaozhou added some meat and vegetables to the family. Zhang couldn't give them wild vegetable porridge every day. She was a little worried, because there was still some time before the wheat harvest, but the family was about to run out of food.

"Mom..." Wu Xiaobao stumbled in, holding a handful of brightly colored things in his hands. Zhang knew what they were. She saw her son stuff something into her mouth. It was so sweet!

Zhang couldn't bear to swallow it whole, and she slowly sipped the flavor. "Where did this come from?"

"Sister Zhou gave it to me. Please keep it for me," Wu Xiaobao thought again and again, "If you want to eat more, just eat one."

He was quite generous. After saying this, he ran away quickly.

Zhang stayed there in a daze.

Zhou Xiaozhou was still getting things for Wu Sanmei in the room. This time, she took out some instant foods such as vermicelli, bean curd and kelp from a box she had just opened, and even a box of preserved eggs. Some of the things here were her favorites, and some could be stored for a long time.

"These are also food. I think I may have to stay here for a while, but eating wild vegetables all the time can easily lead to malnutrition, so you can cook these things in different ways. They will keep the nutrition balanced."

Wu Sanmei's eyes widened. She didn't expect that Sister Zhou went out today, and after coming back, she took out food after food from the cardboard box as if by magic. Many of the food she had never seen before.

"I, I don't know how to do this?"

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't buy Wu Sanmei's excuses, she had thought of this point.

"It's okay, I'll cook with you. These things are all pretty good. We'll definitely be able to make them if we try a few more times."

Zhou Xiaozhou was a novice at home, and she rarely had the chance to cook. She only cooked until the food was cooked, but whether it tasted good was another matter. And now she had a versatile chili sauce, so she didn't have to worry about it being unpalatable.

Wu Xiaobao went back into the east wing, looking at the strange things on the bed, and poked them curiously.

Zhou Xiaozhou laughed at what he saw, and then he took out a small white bottle from his handbag.

"This is medicine, specifically for calcium supplementation." Looking at Wu Sanmei's confused eyes, Zhou Xiaozhou explained in another way: "Just think, after taking this medicine, Xiaobao will fall less often. If the effect is good, he may not fall again in the future."

This time, Wu Sanmei's eyes widened. She quickly took the medicine bottle from Zhou Xiaozhou and stroked it carefully.

"How do I take this medicine?" Wu Sanmei has always been concerned about Wu Xiaobao's unsteady walking. Now that there is a solution, she has to give it a try.

"That's it, eat two slices a day. This is for children. It tastes sweet like candy beans. Children shouldn't reject it. You can eat it too, third sister. Why don't you try it first?" Zhou Xiaozhou thought of the Wu family's refusal to eat the crispy duck.

She opened the lid, picked up two calcium tablets and put them into her mouth first. Wu Sanmei followed suit and also took two tablets into her mouth.

Zhou Xiaozhou chewed it into pieces and swallowed it in just a few seconds, and Wu Sanmei also learned to chew it into pieces and swallow it directly.

As soon as she took a bite, Wu Sanmei discovered that although the pill looked strange, it was sweet. She poured two more pills for Wu Xiaobao, who followed their example and chewed and swallowed them directly.

"Delicious, isn't it?" Zhou Xiaozhou smiled as he watched Wu Xiaobao finish the calcium tablets. He then turned around and instructed Wu Sanmei, "Keep this small bottle and give Xiaobao two tablets every day before going to bed. If he finishes it, tell me and I'll buy more."

Wu Sanmei's eyes became moist. Their family had always been on guard against this Sister Zhou, but they never expected that she always thought of their family in everything.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Sanmei lowered her head and answered in a muffled voice.

Taking out a pack of loose biscuits, Zhou Xiaozhou said to the two children with a smile: "This is called biscuits. It's delicious. If you feel hungry in the middle of the night, eat two pieces. After eating, you won't be hungry anymore and can sleep well."

Wu Sanmei was so embarrassed that she almost died. Recently, her family had been eating wild vegetable porridge for every meal, but that was not enough to satisfy her hunger. Sometimes she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so she made pancakes on her bed. It turned out that Sister Zhou knew everything. Wu Sanmei was very touched.

Wu Xiaobao was even more daring. He took a bite of the biscuit in Zhou Xiaozhou's hand. The crispy biscuit melted in his mouth. It was also sweet and had a strong milky taste. It was really delicious. Well, it was even better than the crispy duck. No, the two things were not the same taste, but they were both delicious.

Zhou Xiaozhou handed the remaining biscuits to Wu Xiaobao, and then took some more biscuits and put them in Wu Sanmei's hand.

"You are in the growth period. If you don't eat enough now, you won't grow taller in the future. Girls should eat enough to gain some weight to look healthy. You are too thin."

Listening to the chatter in the room, Zhang hid outside the door and couldn't stop crying. She wanted to say thank you. She had not been very nice to Zhou Xiaozhou the past two days, so today it was not difficult to say thank you. Who would have thought that things were still being distributed in this room? Hearing Zhou Xiaozhou's words of persuasion for her daughter, how could Zhang not be moved.

Who doesn't want their children to grow up plump and white? But there is no such condition. The food in the family is mainly to feed the older men who do farm work and the younger children who can't even walk properly, so the women naturally take the back seat.
