The current price of brown rice is about five cents per pound. Wen Yan took out five cents and said, "Auntie, take these first. I need to borrow some bowls and chopsticks."

"Kid, just take this little bit of food. You don't need to pay for it."

"You must take it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come here next time."

Finally, under Wen Yan's insistence, Aunt Wang accepted it.

Wen Yan took the brown rice and green vegetables, planning to have a simple meal today. When she got home, Wan Xiaqing had already picked up some firewood.

Wen Yan praised her with a smile, and seeing her blushing face, she worked harder and couldn't help but smile even more.

Wash all the greens and cut them into small pieces. Wash most of the brown rice and pour it into the pot with the greens. Sprinkle some salt and mix well.

"Erbao, medium or small fire."

"Okay." Wan Xiaqing's face turned even redder, and she didn't know if it was because of the heat or because she was shy.

While the meal was cooking, Wen Yan went to look around other rooms, planning to vacate a place to sleep tonight and then clean up.

The family must not have lived here for long. Some bedding and clothes that had been messed up by them could still be found in the cupboard. The main room would naturally be for her father to live in. As for the other room, she would live with her four children in the west room. When she had time to clean up the south room, she would let the two older children live there separately.

When she had basically cleaned up the main house, Wan Xiaqing came to her and said, "Mom, the meal is ready."

"Here I come." The day was not too cold, but Wen Yan was sweating all over. Although this body was not welcomed in the Wan family, she had been pampered for many years and had not done any work.

Take out a few bowls and serve one bowl to each of the kids.

Wan Xiaqing came over to help. She pointed at the rice crust at the bottom of the pot and said, "Mom, I want to eat this."

"Save this for dinner. It will taste even better if you snuggle up to the fire for a while in the evening."

"Even better?!" Wan Xiaqing stared at the bottom of the pot eagerly, swallowing his saliva. It looked delicious enough now. How could it be even more delicious?!

The whole family sat around the octagonal table, eating simple meals without any oil or water, but they all seemed very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Wen Yan looked at the little faces in front of her. They were more lively than when she first saw them yesterday. She felt that she had a talent for raising children. Now that she could have several children painlessly, her life would get better and better.

"I'll go wash the dishes." This was the first time Wan Dongling took the initiative to do something.

Wen Yan was naturally happy to have someone to help her, "Okay, Erbao, come with me to move your grandpa to the main house."

"it is good."

As soon as the two arrived at the side room, they saw Wen Yangu, who had been sleeping, open his eyes.

Seeing Wen Yan, he suddenly smiled, "Xiao Yan, you're back."

The sadness that had been suppressed suddenly surged up again, and Wen Yan smiled with tears in her eyes: "Dad, I'm back, you will be fine."

"There's no hope. Dad knows his own health."

Wen Yan and Wan Xiaqing supported each of them by their arms and carried him to the main house.

"Dad, let me feed you some rice porridge to fill your stomach first." Wen Yan held some porridge in her hand, but she didn't dare to take too much, because she wanted to let the person recover first. "Drink it, then drink the medicine, and you will get better slowly."

Wen Yangu did not refuse. Instead, he looked at Wan Xiaqing who was sitting beside him with his eyes wide open. "This is the second child, right? He has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

This look was too gentle and loving. Wan Xiaqing scratched his head and called out embarrassedly, "Grandpa."

"I've already washed the dishes." Wan Dongling came over and said hesitantly, "Can I...can I go to the study to read..."

Wan Dongling's voice became smaller and smaller. She liked reading since she was a child, but her mother never approved of it. She said that a woman's virtue is not to be talented, and she only needs to learn some female virtues to serve her husband well. Having a child is better than anything else.

"Good kid." Wen Yangu praised, "It's a good thing that you want to read. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

Wan Dongling raised her head suddenly, met the old man's loving eyes, and then looked at Wen Yan, "Can I really go?"

Wen Yan thought she should not change too quickly, so she said without much enthusiasm: "Go ahead."

She was so relieved. When she was young, she didn't know the benefits of studying. She only got an ordinary undergraduate degree. After she started working, she wanted to study in a good university, but she didn't have the energy. But her eldest child was so fond of studying at such a young age. She really gave birth to a group of good children.

The whole afternoon passed by in the cleaning. By the evening, the house was much tidier, but there were no fruits or vegetables. She had to plant everything here to live up to her Chinese farming genes.

There were no candles in the house, and everyone fell asleep at night.

Wen Yan gently coaxed Wan Xuan, and finally they all fell asleep.

"It's delicious. The rice crust is delicious." Wan Xia smacked his lips and talked in his sleep.

Wen Yan smiled, quietly got out of bed and went to the kitchen, took out the spiritual spring water from the space and poured it into a bowl, closed her eyes and drank it in one gulp. It was cool and sweet at first, but not as cold and irritating as ordinary spring water, and flowed gently into the stomach.

But soon, Wen Yan couldn't laugh anymore. Her whole body started to feel hot, and then cold. This alternating hot and cold continued for half an hour before Wen Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with her body.

The strange feeling in the body disappeared, and a foul smell came over.

Wen Yan pinched her nose and hurried to the bathroom to wash herself. In the moonlight, she felt that her skin seemed to have become better. She entered the space, which was exactly the same as the early morning. She lowered her head by the spring and looked at herself. She had indeed become younger. Her skin became tenderer and her waist seemed to be a little thinner.

Looking at the itchy area on the wrist, it turned out that even the scars of the original owner had been eliminated by the spiritual spring water.

Lingquan water is a good thing.

But it can’t be given directly to father, it needs to be diluted.

Probably knowing the effect of the spiritual spring, Wen Yan returned to the house and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Wen Yan mixed Lingquan water into the porridge and medicine. After eating, she asked the eldest and second sons to look after the house while she went to the town to buy some things.

She still went there by ox cart. The driver saw that it was her again. He didn't expect that she had really remembered it when he casually mentioned yesterday that she also needed to deliver goods today.

"Uncle, thank you for your help." Wen Yan handed a copper coin to the uncle and continued, "I will trouble you when I come back."

When we arrived in the town, it was bustling.

Wen Yan first bought a backpack. She planned to put all the things into the space, but she still needed something to cover it.

First, we bought food for the next few days. There are many people and the children are growing up, so food is essential.

I bought 20 kilograms of brown rice and 5 kilograms of polished rice. I put them into the backpack and quickly put them away, saving a lot of effort.

There are many children, so I first bought half a pound of pork, then picked a chicken for my father to nourish his body, bought a bag of various common vegetables, fruits and seeds, eight bowls, a clay pot for cooking porridge, and bought some vegetables.

Passing by a ready-made clothing store, Wen Yan thought about the clothes that her children at home were about to wear out, and couldn't help but step in. But after entering and seeing the prices, she realized that she shouldn't have walked in. All the ready-made clothes in this store start at one or two silver coins, and she can't afford them now!
