My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang made a total of 8 bamboo tubes yesterday, originally planning to make one bamboo tube for each person.

However, because I, Gu Chunzhi, was reluctant to part with the rice, the cauldron could not hold all eight bamboo tubes at once.

So in the end, I only made rice for 4 bamboo tubes.

However, each bamboo tube was quite large, and if two people shared one, it would be enough to fill their stomachs.

Ji Yunshuang and her daughter shared a bamboo tube, while Lu Yinheng and his son Lu Yanqi shared a bamboo tube of rice.

The other two bamboo tube rice dishes were shared among Gu Chunzhi and her sons.

The chopsticks were lost somewhere during the escape, and it wasn't convenient to find tree branches in the cave to make new chopsticks.

Gu Chunzhi and the others washed their hands in the underground stream in the cave before eating with their hands.

During the apocalypse, Ji Yunshuang often ate with her hands.

However, now that she's guarding this space, she doesn't want to wrong herself too much.

She reached into her bundle, and using the bundle as a cover, took out two spoons from her storage space. She handed one to Lu Yuzhu, saying, "I picked these up from the ground earlier."

Lu Yuzhu took the spoon, looked at her father and brother beside her, and said, "Mother, can I give the spoon to Father and Brother? We can share one."

The bamboo spoon that Ji Yunshuang specially picked up had neither modern markings nor materials that were available in this era.

She didn't stop her daughter from wanting to be filial to her father.

With her mother's approval, Lu Yuzhu happily handed the spoon to her father, saying, "Daddy, you two eat with the spoon."

Lu Yinheng took the spoon his daughter handed him, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Although it was just a bamboo spoon, he could tell from the feel that it wasn't a cheap item that ordinary families could afford.

Is she simply after future wealth and glory, or is she plotting something much more?

Lu Yuzhu was unaware that this spoon had reignited her father's murderous intent, which he had managed to suppress.

After handing her the spoon, she sat down next to Ji Yunshuang, and the two of them ate together, taking turns spooning.

On the other side, Lu Yinheng and his son were unusually silent.

Lu Yanqi felt an unbearable heartache when he thought of his father's emaciated appearance when he died in his previous life.

Although he knew he had been reborn, he felt apprehensive about returning home. Since his rebirth, he had not had a proper conversation or spent time with his father.

Sitting with his father, sharing a bamboo tube of rice, he felt as if he were dreaming, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

His son's crying pulled Lu Yinheng back from his thoughts.

When he died in his previous life, his son was almost ready to get married.

He had grown accustomed to his son's adeptness in navigating the officialdom.

Upon suddenly seeing his crying son, he was at a loss for words.

He handed the bamboo tube and spoon to his son, saying, "Are you hungry? Don't cry, eat up."

Hearing his father's words of comfort, Lu Yanqi felt a little embarrassed; he wasn't really a four-year-old child.

Although he was mentally an adult, his body was still that of a little kid.

Once she starts crying, she can't stop.

Lu Yinheng had no idea why his son was crying, nor did he know that his son, like him, had been reborn.

He glanced at the mother and daughter beside him and instantly misunderstood. He thought that Madam Ji favored her daughter more and that her son was being neglected and was feeling sad.

He scooped up a spoonful of rice and brought it to his mouth, saying, "Then I'll feed you."

After venting his emotions, Lu Yanqi finally calmed down.

He felt quite embarrassed about how much he had cried. He muttered, "I can do it myself."

Lu Yinheng noticed his son's embarrassment and patted his head, saying, "You're still young."

It means he's still young, so it's okay for him to cry.

Lu Yanqi felt that if he couldn't even control his emotions, how could he protect his father and sister?

As he ate, he deeply reflected on himself.

Seeing that Lu Yinheng's family had brought out the food they had prepared for lunch to eat, other families also brought out their dry rations.

Of course, they had no rice to eat. They only had wild produce they found on the mountain, or dry rations they had brought with them when they escaped from their homes.

Lu Bingchun's family huddled together again, muttering and complaining.

Ma tried several times but failed to gain the upper hand over Ji Yunshuang. Her eyes darted around and she saw Hu Chunjiao eating cornbread with cold water. Suddenly, she had an idea.

She walked up to Hu Chunjiao and said, "Why are you eating dry biscuits here? Your fiancé's family is having rice today. Didn't Lu Erlang bring you some?"

Before Hu Chunjiao could speak, she deliberately sighed and said, "That's true. Your fiancé's family is now in charge of the Ji family. If the Ji family doesn't speak up, he probably won't dare to send you food privately. It's just a pity for you. In the past, you would have to be controlled by your elder sister-in-law, and that Ji family is cruel and domineering..."

Lu Wuzheng is twenty years old this year, and he and Hu Chunjiao got engaged two years ago. Originally, both families had already agreed that they would get married after the autumn harvest this year.

But unexpectedly, war broke out...

In an instant, everyone was busy escaping for their lives, and no one cared about the couple's wedding.

Hu Chunjiao always dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family in the city.

She was already reluctant to marry Lu Wuzheng, and with Madam Ma's instigation, she became even more unhappy.

However, she wasn't stupid; she knew Madam Ma had ulterior motives. Although she was unhappy, she didn't immediately go to the Lu family to cause trouble and give Madam Ma a reason to laugh at her.

Besides, she's still on the run from famine, so even if she wanted to marry a rich man, she couldn't do so now. It's better to wait until she gets to Jiangzhou.

Disappointed that she was being ignored, Ma left.

After a short rest, the group continued their journey.

After walking for about an hour, Lu Yinheng finally led the group out of the cave.

By this time, it was completely dark outside.

Although Lu Yinheng was confident, he still said, "Let's pack up quickly and rest here for now. We'll explore the route tomorrow morning and see where we should go."

Everyone was exhausted after a long day, so there was no objection to this.

Everyone gathered some dry firewood, lit a fire, and then, without even eating, went to sleep by the fire.

Ji Yunshuang was also exhausted.

In fact, given her skills in her previous life, this amount of exercise was nothing.

Unfortunately, she ended up in a different body. This body was far less physically capable than the one she had in her previous life.

She lay down on the grass a little distance from the fire to rest, and took the opportunity to let her consciousness slip into the space to check the situation inside.

What she saw shocked her so much that she almost cried out.

The vegetable seeds she planted just yesterday have already grown quite tall. And the herbs she planted yesterday not only survived, but some even flowered and bore fruit.

Could it be that the newly appeared black soil in the space has the function of enhancing the plant growth cycle?

She couldn't wait to enter the space and find out what was going on inside.

Her emotional outburst caught the attention of Xiaoyuzhu, who was standing nearby.

She blinked, inhaled her mother's scent, and asked contentedly, "Mother, what are you looking at?"

Suppressing her excitement, Ji Yunshuang casually pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Look at the stars!"

I must say, the stars of this era are truly shining.

Looking at the bright stars and thinking about the crops growing rapidly in the space, Ji Yunshuang felt that the future was full of hope and sunshine.
