Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

Looking at Li Guixiang, who had clearly lost a lot of weight, Su Jinru said with heartache, "I'll make you a soup later. Try it and see if it helps."

They walked away without realizing it, and when they returned it was almost noon. However, each of their baskets and buckets were full of seafood, a very fruitful haul.

When Su Jinru arrived home, Yuan Wenjie, An Ran, and An Xin were already there.

They cooked together in the kitchen.

Upon seeing Su Jinru, Yuan Wenjie helped her put down her basket and asked, "You went to the beach?"

"Yes! We had a great haul today, we found so much seafood."

"Don't go to the beach alone in the future. You can't swim, what if you get swept away by the waves?"

"Am I that stupid? Won't I run away when the waves come?"

"When the tide comes in, the waves are very strong. How can you outrun the waves?"

“There are quite a few of us, including Li Guixiang. They are experienced and know when the tide will come in.”

"If you're with Li Guixiang, then you'll be fine. She arrived early and is much more familiar with the area than you are, and she knows when the tide will come in."

Su Jinru said excitedly, "We made a promise to go to the beach to collect treasures every morning from now on. But I will come back earlier to cook. I was so happy today that I forgot the time. You guys work very hard and have to cook for yourselves when you get back."

“It’s fine if we cook for ourselves; the three of us can cook together and it’ll be ready quickly. The problem is, you don’t like seafood, so why do you bring so much back every day?”

"Li Guixiang has already taught me how to dry and store seafood. I'll make a lot and bring some home for your parents when I go home for the New Year. You can also mail some back to my parents so they can try it. Apart from fish, they've never seen so many kinds of seafood before."

"You can do these things slowly later. Your health is the most important thing right now, so don't overwork yourself."

“It’s okay. Li Guixiang is pregnant too, around the same time as me. Staying at home all the time is quite boring. We chatted and laughed, and picked up so much seafood together. It was very fulfilling and made us very happy. A good mood is good for the baby.”

An Xin said, "I've been here for over a month now, and I hear them talking about going beachcombing every day. I've never experienced that kind of joy before. You can find so many good things on the beach. I want to go too."

Su Jinru: "You can't find them anytime; you have to wait until the tide is low. They're usually most plentiful on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month. You can take the kids to experience it on the fifteenth."

An Ran was also moved by what she heard.

"I also take the children to go beachcombing."

"Okay, I'll remind you a day in advance."

As they were talking, the meal was ready, and the family sat down around the table to eat.

Ever since Su Jinru became pregnant, Yuan Wenjie has come home for lunch every day.

He came home on time in the evening and went for a walk with Su Jinru after dinner.

Yuan Wenjie was clearly much more concerned about Su Jinru.

Su Jinru was afraid that the two children would feel neglected because of this.

So at lunchtime that day, he deliberately asked, "An Xin, An Ran, would you prefer me to give you a younger brother or a younger sister?"

An Xin chimed in, "I was thinking, if Mom had a little brother, he would be as smart as his older brother, as responsible as Dad, and as beautiful as Mom. I could watch him grow up little by little, just like watching Dad and my older brother grow up."

"If Mom gives me a little sister, I can give her all my pretty clothes and toys. I can comb her hair, put pretty hair accessories on her head, play with her, and tell her stories..."

Su Jinru laughed and said, "After talking for so long, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"I want both, I want a little sister and I want a little brother."

An Ran said, "Yes! Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, they're both great, I like them both."

"Wenjie, what about you? Do you want a son or a daughter?"

Yuan Wenjie said with a smile, "Like An Xin, I want both a son and a daughter."

"You guys are too greedy! You want everything, how is that possible?"

"Why not, Mom? You can have two children at once, a little brother and a little sister, that would be perfect!"

"If I could make the decision, I would certainly be willing to grant your wish, but unfortunately, it's not up to me. To have twins, a boy and a girl, would be such a great blessing."

Yuan Wenjie: "We're just joking! Giving birth to two children at once is too dangerous. Our children, whether they are sons or daughters, are all fine. We leave everything to fate; what comes is fate."

An Xin: "Yes, I heard that having two children is very dangerous. For the mother's safety, let's have only one! Let's take it slow. This time we'll have a younger brother or sister, and next time we'll have a younger sister or brother."

Su Jinru: "In the end, you still want two, you greedy devil!"

After dinner, Su Jinru made a soup and took it to Li Guixiang.

Li Guixiang was vomiting loudly in the yard.

Company Commander Niu patted her back as he said, "This won't do. You're vomiting everything you eat. If this continues, neither you nor the child can take it!"

"Why don't we take him to see a doctor?"

"What are you looking at? Didn't I see it before? Dr. Lin said it's a normal reaction, it's just that my reaction is a bit stronger, and there's no medicine to treat this."

"You can't eat anything, and you've lost a lot of weight. What are you going to do if this continues?"

Su Jinru walked into the half-closed courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, I made some plum juice. Try my juice."

Company Commander Niu said with distress, "For more than ten days in a row, she hasn't had a proper meal. She vomits whatever she eats."

Su Jinru went straight into the kitchen, took out a small bowl, poured a small bowl of the plum juice she had made, and handed it to Li Guixiang.

Li Guixiang took a bite.

"It's sweet and sour, and the taste is alright."

She took another sip and experienced no adverse reactions.

She drank the entire small bowl of plum juice.

He wiped his lips.

"This soup is delicious. It's the only thing I've drunk these past few days that I don't throw up. Sister Aru, what did you use to make this soup?"

"This is made by simmering sour plums, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans, hawthorn, and brown sugar. Soybeans nourish the lungs, mung beans nourish the liver, red beans nourish the heart, black beans nourish the kidneys, brown sugar replenishes blood, and hawthorn stimulates the appetite and strengthens the spleen."

What Su Jinru didn't say was that the soup she made with spiritual water naturally had the effect of boosting immunity.

She herself had some symptoms at first, but after drinking the spiritual water, the symptoms gradually disappeared.

"Sister-in-law, I cooked a big pot of it. The whole family can drink it. There are no side effects."

Su Jinru poured the soup she had cooked into a small pot in Li Guixiang's house.

Li Guixiang drank another bowl in one go. Feeling a bit hungry, she ate two dumplings and felt no more nausea.
