Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

"Chu Chu, come out and play for a while, don't always stay in the room." A gentle female voice came from outside the door.

Judging from her tone and voice, this person should be Li Chu's mother.

Li Chu glanced at her watch; it was 5:20.

She closed the drawer, opened the door, and went out.

"Mom, is dinner ready? Shall I come help you?"

Judging from the rules, Li Chu should be a well-behaved and self-disciplined girl.

As soon as I came out, I saw a woman wearing a light-colored knit sweater and an apron.

If I'm not mistaken, they must be cooking up ahead of me, so they didn't just get back.

She looked to be around thirty years old, with a gentle expression.

Seeing Li Chu come out, Li's mother smiled and went to the kitchen to continue cooking, saying, "No need, watch some TV, the food will be ready soon, come and get the bowls and chopsticks when it's done."

"it is good."

Li Chu did as instructed and sat down on the sofa without doing anything else.

The house is less than 100 square meters. The living room is not big, but it is very cozy and full of life.

There were quite a lot of things, but they were arranged neatly and orderly, and the place was very clean.

On the TV cabinet, there are several photo frames containing pictures of the family of three.

It's clear that the homeowner is someone who loves life and is a happy family of three.

Just five minutes after I turned on the TV, Li's mother came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

"Chuchu, Mom washed some fruit for you. Eat this first to tide you over."

Li Chu looked at the plate of fruit. The strawberries were all red and big, and looked sweet. The grapes were also plump and round.

"Mom, I can't eat sweets."

"These early-ripening strawberries aren't sweet at all; they're just bright red. You can eat a few," said Mrs. Li with a smile, her tone unhurried.

"I'll drink the yogurt instead. There's still plenty in the fridge, and it'll expire if I don't drink it soon. You and Dad can keep the strawberries."

Li Chu's mental power allowed her to see the sugar-free yogurt inside the refrigerator and the date on it, giving her a reasonable excuse to refuse.

As she spoke, she stood up, ran over, opened the refrigerator, and took out two bottles of yogurt.

He even turned around and asked, "Mom, would you like some?"

The smile in Li's mother's eyes didn't quite reach her eyes, but it quickly returned to normal: "I won't drink. When we eat later, you shouldn't drink too much either."

"Okay, I'll listen to mom."

Li Chu sat back down on the sofa, opened the yogurt and sipped it slowly, her eyes fixed on the TV.

After looking at her for a while, Li's mother got up and went to the kitchen.

After the person left, Li Chu cursed under his breath.

Rule number six is ​​making things difficult for her, isn't it? Although sweets aren't her favorite food, she can't live without them.

What's more, they can't even eat anything sweet or sour.

Pure sour yogurt should be fine; this is the conclusion Li Chu reached after observing her mother's reaction to the yogurt.

From the kitchen, the sounds of chopping and washing vegetables, as well as stir-frying, could be heard from time to time. Li Chu watched the entire cooking process.

It was completely dark outside, and the time was 5:58.

Just then, someone knocked on the door from the outside, accompanied by a male voice.

"Yulan, Chuchu, come and open the door for me quickly."

Soon, Li's mother appeared out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand: "Chuchu, go open the door."

Li Chu was amazed at how fast this person was; she hadn't even stood up yet.

They're afraid she won't go; they've dug a pit for her to fall into.

I checked my watch; it was already 5:59, just one minute shy of 6:00. I was still barely making it back on time.

She quickly walked to the door, opened it, and saw Mr. Li carrying large and small bags.

"Dad, come in quickly, Mom is cooking in the kitchen."

"Wait a minute, I still have two bags to carry, you..."

Before Mr. Li could finish speaking, he saw Li Chu rush over and carry the things into the house.

I was quickly pulled through the door, and then the door slammed shut.

Her entire set of movements was executed flawlessly, without any hesitation.

The clock in the living room was also stopped at exactly six o'clock.

After seeing this, Li Chu asked with a puzzled look, "Dad, what were you trying to tell me?"

Mr. Li forced a smile and patted her on the shoulder.

"Haha, I didn't expect my daughter to be so quick. I haven't even told her yet and she already knows she wants to help with the chores. She really is my little darling."

"What are you two talking about? Go wash your hands and get your bowls and chopsticks to eat," Mother Li interrupted them.

"I'm here, I'm going to wash my hands."

"I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks."

At the dinner table, the three sat down and looked at the three dishes and one soup laid out on the table.

Braised pork ribs, green peas with minced meat, stir-fried Shanghai bok choy, and a seaweed and egg drop soup.

"Chu Chu, why aren't you eating ribs today? They're your favorite."

As soon as Mrs. Li spoke, she and Mr. Li stared intently at Li Chu.

It was as if they could transform themselves on the spot and turn her into a dish on the table if she didn't give a reasonable explanation.

After staring at her for a short while, Li's father suddenly smiled and put a piece of pork rib into Li Chu's bowl.

"Eat up, your mom's ribs are the best."

What's the point of eating this? If I could eat these ribs, wouldn't I be picking them myself?

It was supposed to be braised pork ribs, but Mrs. Li added sugar to it when she made it.

Not only did they melt the rock sugar and caramelize it, they also added white sugar to enhance the flavor.

Isn't this just targeting myself?

If I hadn't been observant and watched her cook the whole time, I might have easily eaten the ribs.

After all, she really does like to eat.

But since they offered to feed me, I became wary.

Moreover, it was too obvious. Just by looking at their expressions, you could tell there was something wrong with the ribs, especially since I saw it myself.

While it's normal to use rock sugar to caramelize braised pork ribs, it's not normal here.

She couldn't use that reason to refute it, as that wouldn't be appropriate for her status.

At my age, having never cooked before, I shouldn't know how to make braised pork ribs.

The two men kept urging Li Chu to eat the rib, so Li Chu had no choice but to pick it up under their watchful eyes.

"Okay, I love pork ribs the most."

Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she saw a hint of excitement deep in their eyes.

A smile flashed in Li Chu's eyes, and just then!

A calico cat, which had been lying lazily in its cat bed in the distance, suddenly ran over quickly and jumped onto the table.

With a loud crash, the plate shattered on the floor; the cat had accidentally knocked over the plate of ribs on the table.

Li Chu's hand was bumped by the cat, and the chopsticks in her hand lost their grip, causing the ribs to fall onto the table.

Before anyone could react, the cat snatched the rib into its mouth and quickly got off the table and went back to its bed.

"Mom and Dad, my ribs are gone." Li Chu's acting was on point, and she instantly transformed into a mournful and aggrieved look.
