Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

In the evening, the early summer sky becomes particularly beautiful.

The sun gradually set, and a streak of orange-red sunset appeared on the horizon. Wisps of smoke rose from the village in the distance.

At this time, Father Liu was sitting on the ox cart. Although he had not been in this village for a long time, he had a vague sense of belonging. He looked at the sunset in the sky, admired the beautiful scenery, and felt the tranquility and warmth of the village.

"Thank you, Uncle Wan!"

Father Liu got off the ox cart at the entrance of the village and handed over a copper coin.

"It's okay, go home quickly!"

Uncle Wan took the copper coin and put it in his pocket, gave some instructions, and continued to drive the ox cart. There were still a few people on the cart, so they walked a little and got off quickly. He also wanted to go home for dinner.

After Liu's father got off the ox cart at the entrance of the village, he turned left and first passed by Wanjia Private School.

The Wan family's door was closed. They were probably eating at home, and there were sounds of talking in the room.

Walking through the bamboo forest that he had not seen for a long time, the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere must have made Father Liu feel familiar and kind. Every bamboo in the bamboo forest seemed to be telling the passage of time. They swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if welcoming his return.

Father Liu walked briskly and finally saw his own yard.

There are children playing in the yard.

Luo Junning and Fang Chenhao saw Father Liu coming back, and said to Liu Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, is Grandpa Liu back?"

Liu Xiaomei was picking up sandbags on the ground. They were made for her by Liu Caiyun. She loved playing with them. After she finished picking them up, she raised her head and looked towards the roadside.

He stood up and ran over happily, "Grandpa!"

Father Liu took two quick steps and picked up Liu Xiaomei. "Hey, Xiaomei, do you miss grandpa? Grandpa misses us Xiaomei very much!"

"I miss grandpa!"

"Grandpa Wang!"

"Hey, Junning, Chenhao, let's go home. I brought back some delicious food."

Father Liu didn't actually bring any delicious food, he just bought some cakes at the dock during the last stop. But that didn't stop the children from cheering happily, "Great, there's delicious food."

Just when the children were cheering, the people in the house heard the noise outside. Although they were doing their own things, there were several children playing in the yard, and it was impossible that no one was watching them.

Fang Chenhao's sister Fang Chenxi and the slightly older Wei Honglian mainly look after the children in the family.

Zhang Hu's son cannot speak and sometimes feels a little inferior. After a few months of getting along with them, he can now stand aside and watch them play, and occasionally play with them for a while.

Liu Caiyun was just about to come out and call them for dinner when she ran into Liu's father with a group of children.

"Dad, you're back!"

"Well, I'm back. Everything is fine at home!"

"Yeah, everything is fine at home. Give me the food. You must be tired. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"Why are you having dinner so late today? I thought you guys had already eaten."

People in ancient times had dinner early. At this time today, although it was just getting dark, it was indeed not too early. After all, it was summer now.

"I went to the county town today. My family slaughtered two large pigs and sent them to the county shop. I also went to the county pork shop to discuss the future sale of pork. The chickens at home have grown up, and the amount of chicken and pig feed they need to feed has increased. Every day I have to go to several nearby villages to collect some."

“Are we short of manpower now?”

"We mainly negotiated business with the grocery store at the county dock. Now my family is making instant noodles and sending them there. Business is pretty good, so my family has assigned a few people to make noodles every day."

"People can learn how to make this pancake very quickly. If you want to do this business, you can only make a few bucks and work hard on the ingredients!"

Liu Caiyun put Liu's father's bag on the table and poured him a glass of water. "Yes, Qianxue and Yaqing are now researching how to make seasoning packets. If there are more people selling noodles in the future, we will mainly sell seasoning packets. As long as the seasoning packets are well made, it is not easy to copy them."

"That's great. We'll talk about these things later."

Liu Caiyun poured another basin of water for Father Liu, "Well, don't worry."

"Old man, you still remember to come back. It's been two days since the results were announced. I thought you wouldn't come back!"

"I came back very quickly by boat this time."

"Grandpa!" Liu Xiaolu ran over. She had just gone to the bathroom before dinner, and when she came back she saw Father Liu sitting at the table.

"Be good, Xiaolu!" Father Liu is very loving to his children at home, and their family does not have as many rules as the ancient big families.

Liu Xiaolu took Liu's father's arm and acted coquettishly, "Grandpa, where are my mother and Lin Keyu?"

"They haven't come back to the city yet. This time I came back to ask you if you want to go to the city to live with your mother. Or wait for them to come back during the Chinese New Year and then go to the city with them next year?"

"I can do it!"

Liu Xiaolu didn't have such a strong desire to live with Liu Caixia. She had grown up now, and the Chinese New Year was just a few months away. She felt that Liu Caixia would come back for the New Year, so it didn't matter to her.

"You can go next year. Your uncle Luo has to go to the state capital to take the exam. He won't have time to teach you. You can teach your younger brothers and sisters at home. Practice calligraphy or something."

“I practice calligraphy every day!”

"Okay, let's eat first. You're not leaving right away after you come back." Liu's mother interrupted their conversation. There were two large round tables, and many people ate at home every day. It was very lively like a big family.

There is nothing special about today's meal, just some ordinary home-cooked dishes.

As the family business became more and more stable, after selling the two piglets that were first bought from the farm, the family had a lot of pork left.

These days, we have meat every day. Before we went to the city to buy meat, we had no meat to eat. At most, we had some fried eggs, which was better than what most people in the village ate.

Everyone in the family is quite grateful and works very hard.

With the sound of chopsticks colliding with bowls and plates, the family sat together, laughing and talking, sharing each other's daily lives and moods during this period.

In a busy life, being able to get together with family and enjoy this rare reunion time is really a rare happiness.

After dinner, the family will clean up the dishes and clean the table together. These seemingly trivial chores have become a kind of tacit understanding and cooperation among family members.

Everyone is contributing his or her own part to the harmony and beauty of the family.

Eating dinner together as a family is not only a physical need, but also a spiritual sustenance.

This thriving atmosphere makes people feel the warmth and happiness of home, and makes people cherish and be grateful for this rare family relationship even more.
