I traveled back to ancient times, but I was able to lie down and relax.

Just as he finished shouting, Liu Sirou ran happily out of the room.

Liu Nanjia smiled and patted her head, then took out the snacks and handed them to her.

When Liu Sirou saw the pastries, her eyes lit up. She was overjoyed, but she couldn't bear to eat them. She just held them carefully and looked at them.

Seeing her younger sister like this, Liu Nanjia felt a pang of sadness. It was just the most ordinary pastry sold on the roadside that made her so happy, and she couldn't even bear to eat it.

She gently patted Liu Sirou's head and said softly, "I bought this especially for you. Don't worry, we'll have even better pastries to eat in the future, I promise you."

Hearing this, Liu Sirou nodded emphatically before taking small bites of her food.

Liu Yanxi, who had already come out, was also smiling as she watched the interaction between the two sisters.

When Liu Nanjia saw him, she said, "Brother, I was thinking of buying you some paper and pens today, but I don't know what you used to use. Let's go to town together tomorrow to buy them."

Liu Yanxi said it's okay, there's no need to rush to buy these things.

So Liu Nanjia continued to organize the other things she had bought. She put the meat and tofu in the kitchen for dinner, while the rice and flour were left in the grain storage area at home.

Then, they put the purchased bed into the inner room and made it up together with Liu Yanxi.

Then he took the clothes into Song Chen's room and handed them to him, saying, "Here, I bought you some clothes."

He pulled up a stool and sat down by the bed, continuing, "I went to town today and didn't find anything unusual. I guess the people chasing you probably believe you're dead. Of course, it's also possible they haven't found you here yet. What do you plan to do? Doctor Li suggests you go to the clinic in town for another checkup. If your foot isn't healed, it might affect your walking in the future."

Song Chen was also somewhat worried; he certainly didn't want to walk with a limp.

"If possible, you should go and see him. If I can recover sooner, you won't have to trouble yourselves so much."

Liu Nanjia nodded in understanding and then asked, "How are you recovering these past two days? Can you get up? If we're going to see a doctor, the sooner the better. If you can get up, we'll go tomorrow."

Song Chen carefully examined himself and said, "I feel that I have recovered a lot, so there should be no problem."

He can sit up now, but one of his legs was badly injured in the fall, so he is still resting in bed.

"Okay, when we eat later, let my brother help you try. If you can walk a few steps, then we'll go to town tomorrow."

Song Chen nodded in agreement.

As Liu Nanjia was about to leave, she heard him say, holding the clothes he had bought, "I haven't thanked Miss Liu for buying me these clothes yet. Thank you so much."

Liu Nanjia quickly said there was no need to be polite, since he was the one who paid for it. He had thought this person must be a young master from a wealthy family, and he was quite polite.

Tonight's dinner included meat, making it feel quite sumptuous.

She sliced ​​the meat she bought, marinated it briefly, brushed a layer of oil on the pan, fried it until golden brown on both sides, and then sprinkled some cumin on top. The aroma immediately came out. She had found the cumin in town today. When she saw the cumin after buying the meat, she immediately thought of roasted meat.

Then, using a limited amount of ingredients such as minced garlic, soy sauce, and powdered dogwood, I made a sauce.

The simplified version of grilled meat is now complete.

Cut the tofu in half. Fry one half, like the meat, until it has a thin, crispy crust. Cut the other half into small pieces and make a tofu and egg drop soup with wild vegetables and eggs.

Since there was soup, I stopped cooking porridge and instead made some pancakes, which I cut in the middle to fill with meat and fried tofu.

Liu Nanjia also washed some vegetable leaves, specifically choosing a type that resembles lettuce leaves from later generations. It was given to her by Aunt Wang. After learning about this vegetable, she asked Aunt Wang for some and planted it in her own yard.

When the rest of the family saw tonight's dinner, they were all stunned, not only because there was meat, but also because of the novel way of eating it.

Golden tofu, fragrant slices of meat, and steaming soup with white tofu, green vegetables, and yellow eggs—the colors are beautiful and harmonious.

There were also flatbreads, vegetable leaves, and a small dish of sauce on the side, making up a large table.

Following Liu Nanjia's instructions, the group dipped the sliced ​​meat and tofu in the sauce, wrapped them in a vegetable leaf, added them to the pancake, took a big bite, and then drank a sip of tofu soup. They couldn't stop eating and didn't even have time to talk.

Even Song Chen, though his movements were refined, ate very quickly.

Soon, the food on the table was completely eaten up. Liu Sirou blinked her big eyes and said, "Sister, today's food was so delicious! It's the best food I've ever had!"

Liu Yanxi agreed: "Little sister, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Song Chen nodded in agreement. Although he had eaten many delicious foods, this was the first time he had ever tried such a novel way of eating.

They praised her so much that Liu Nanjia was embarrassed. In fact, the simple barbecue she made was far inferior to that of later generations. The meat was not sliced ​​thinly enough, and because it was not pork belly, it was not rich in fat. The sauce was also not as good as the barbecue sauce she had eaten.

But being praised was definitely a happy thing. Her originally ordinary cooking skills were treated like those of a master chef here.

After finishing their meal, they started talking about going to town the next day. Song Chen, supported by Liu Yanxi, had just successfully walked out of the room.

Although it's a bit difficult, as long as you can walk onto the donkey cart, you can get to town.

Thinking of the scene of Liu Yanxi supporting Song Chen just now, Liu Nanjia suddenly remembered something and asked it directly.

"I haven't asked you yet, how old are you?"

Song Chen was taken aback for a moment, then honestly replied, "I'm 14 this year."

Upon hearing the reply, both Liu Nanjia and Liu Yanxi were stunned.

Especially Liu Yanxi, Song Chen is only one year older than him? Then why is he so tall?

Liu Yanxi silently shed tears in his heart.

It's no wonder they were surprised; Song Chen is very tall, Liu Nanjia estimated he's almost 1.8 meters.

People are generally not tall these days, and he was considered tall even among adults, so she thought he must be past puberty and probably 17 or 8, just with a smaller face. She didn't expect him to be really young.

In contrast, the siblings were all thin and small. Liu Yanxi was probably only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and she herself was even shorter, probably not even 1.5 meters.

However, thinking about the many junior high school students in later generations who are as tall as Song Chen, I felt relieved.

Although it's relatively rare at this time, they are normal; it's just that they are too short.

I can't help but worry about my height again. Will I not grow tall?

Liu Yanxi was thinking the same thing. Could he stay this tall forever? He's not even as tall as his father yet, but his father doesn't seem to be as tall as Song Chen either…

Song Chen, on the other hand, was completely bewildered by the brother and sister, wondering why their expressions kept changing.
