"Let's go in first."

After entering the house, they found that all the furniture and other things inside had been thrown into the space when they left. Now the house was empty and covered with a thick layer of dust.

The three little guys were cleaning while sniffling.

Chu Changfeng: "No need to clean it, right? No one can live here. There's no bed."

"Dad, let's stay here today. Spread out the mat. We also brought a quilt. We can sleep on the floor!"

"Daddy and Mommy, please? Just stay at home. We finally got home."

The three little ones looked at them eagerly. Chu Changfeng and Shen Zhi sighed and could only agree.

Chu Changfeng carried Chu Huanhuan on his back with a strap, and continued cleaning with the little ones together with Shen Zhi.

They might only stay here for one night, so they only cleaned the main room.

After sweeping away the garbage and wiping it several times with a rag, the main room finally became clean.

The little girl on Chu Changfeng's back looked at this place curiously, but she didn't know that this was their former home.

But she just stayed quiet while everyone was working.

After cleaning the house, they tidied up the yard a bit.

As I was cleaning, two men suddenly approached.

"Oh my! Changfeng and Shen Zhi are back! Are you all still alive?!"

The family looked up.

They are the village chief and his son.

"Grandpa the village chief!"

The village chief looked at them and saw that they had returned safely. His eyes were red. "You are finally back!"

He couldn't help but wiped away his tears. "Now only half of the people in the village are left. Many died, and many were dragged away to fight and died..."

The village chief and his son were sitting at the door, talking to them in trembling voices.

The whole family felt sad after hearing this.

After this incident, the village chief aged a lot and his voice was not as loud as before.

Shen Zhi: "Uncle, then...what about now? Can everyone have enough to eat? Taxes are not as high as before, right?"

The village chief smiled and said, "Since His Majesty the Emperor killed all the rebels, life has been better. All those who were captured have been released. We grow crops and pay much less taxes than before, so we can have enough to eat."

"It can be said that after all the hardships, happiness has finally come. But now that life has improved, many people...are gone..."

"It will be fine." Chu Changfeng patted his shoulder.

The two village chiefs talked to them for a long time, and before leaving they invited them to their homes for dinner, but Shen Zhi refused.

There are so many people in their family, so they have to consume a lot of other people's food.

And I just heard that they are the only two left in the village chief's family, which is pitiful...

Looking at the village chief's back as he left, Shen Zhi suddenly felt desolate.

The family returned to the house, feeling upset and without a smile on their faces.

The little ones all had bitter faces, and they were about to cry. Shen Zhi patted their heads and said, "Be good, don't think about what the village chief just said. What do you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you!"

Chu Changfeng also smiled and said, "Now that there is no war, it is a good thing to have enough food to eat. Don't think about it."

The little ones sniffed, calmed down a bit, and then started thinking about what to eat today.

Shen Zhi looked around in the space, "Well, there are also chicken pot, beef dry pot, dry pot spareribs, and boiled fish in the space."

Hearing this, the little ones all swallowed their saliva, instantly forgetting their previous sadness, and their minds were full of delicious food.

But there were so many delicious foods that they didn’t know which one to eat.

Shen Zhi: "How about we have the chicken pot and some side dishes?"

"it is good!"

"Yeah! Let's eat the chicken pot!"

After making the decision, Shen Zhi took out the stove, lit the fire, heated up the rice, cut some potatoes, soaked some mushrooms, and washed some tofu skin and celery.

Then a pot of chicken was brought out.

Although the chicken pot is cold, it is still very fresh after being stored for so long.

A pot of chicken stew was heating on the stove, and Shen Zhi poured the vegetables he had just prepared into it.

It was already dark. Chu Changfeng lit a candle and made a bottle of milk for Huanhuan to drink.

Shen Zhicai scooped rice for everyone.

"Gulu gulu..."

The chicken pot on the stove was boiling slightly. The whole family was eating the chicken pot with rice. All the worries seemed to disappear at this moment.

Life is nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping.

"Daddy and Mommy, our own food is still the best. The chicken is so fragrant and tender! It's spicy and goes well with rice!"

"Huh..." Mumu stuck out his spicy tongue, "The food we ate outside these days wasn't tasty! Mom's cooking is still the best!"

Shen Zhi picked up some food for them, "If it tastes good, eat more. The potatoes you like are cooked."

"Mom, help me pick up some mushrooms and tofu skin! They smell so good!"

"Mom, I want celery and mushrooms! They're delicious!"

"I want potatoes!"

Chu Changfeng: "I'll pick it up for you."

While eating the mushrooms inside, Shen Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "Let's walk around the nearby villages more often in the next two days and collect some dried mushrooms. This is really delicious."

This mushroom is not available in Beiyang.

Several little ones agreed very much.

The mushrooms they are eating now were collected from a farmer two days ago. There are only a few kilograms in total, which is not enough for them to eat.

"Daddy...Mom...Mother..."

The little girl who was drinking milk in Chu Changfeng's arms suddenly made a sound.

Chu Changfeng looked down at her and saw that she had already finished the full bottle of milk.

He reached his hand into the hem of the little girl's clothes and felt her belly, which was slightly bulging, indicating that she was full.

"What?" He pulled his hand away and touched her head.

The little guy couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He ate the chicken pot that was bubbling and boiling in the pot, "Daddy...eat..."

She looked at Chu Changfeng eagerly. Chu Changfeng felt soft-hearted, but still shook his head, "You can't eat these things. Wait until you grow up."

The little girl collapsed instantly and cried, "Daddy..."

"Daddy, can you give my sister some candy? She seems to be very greedy."

Shen Zhi: "No! Just let her lick it occasionally. Candy is something she can only eat when she is two or three years old. You can't feed it to her in private."

Sugar cubes are difficult for children under one year old to absorb.

When she realized that she really couldn't eat the delicious chicken in front of her, little Tuanzi was very sad. She buried her little head in Chu Changfeng's arms, facing everyone with her little butt. She was feeling bored.

Chu Changfeng patted her little butt gently, then ignored her and continued eating.

After dinner, Shen Zhi boiled water for everyone to take a bath.

I cleaned the house today and it took a long time. I was so tired that I was covered in sweat.

After the little ones and Shen Zhi took a bath, they started to spread out the bed on the floor while Chu Changfeng was taking a bath.

Put the cool mat on the floor, and then put two thick blankets on the bed, and then put two quilts on top, and the simple floor mat is ready.
