After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.

Looking at the pile of vegetables in front of them, Xu Zhuzhu and her family couldn't stop smiling. Zhang He, in particular, would occasionally pick up a vegetable she had never seen before and ask Xu Zhuzhu what it was called.

Xu Zhuzhu thought her mother was very cute, and she answered all her questions patiently with a smile.

They searched through almost all the garbage piled up outside the garbage station, sorted it out, and put it into the garbage bins. However, Xu Zhuzhu and the others found that apart from the recyclable garbage and kitchen waste bins, the garbage in the other two bins did not change after being thrown in. Moreover, the garbage thrown into the recyclable garbage bin could only turn into wood.

Xu Zhuzhu pondered that there were probably other triggering conditions she was unaware of.

Even though the other types of trash couldn't be transformed into anything else, Xu Zhuzhu's family still upheld their moral principles and sorted all the trash that was thrown outside the garbage station, putting it into the appropriate trash cans.

"...Since the immortals have bestowed this gift upon us, we cannot give up halfway. We can only do what we can to repay their kindness."

In response to Xu An's question, Xu Wenjie answered, and Xu Zhuzhu, who was standing next to him, nodded seriously in agreement.

In fact, the contents of just these two trash cans were enough to satisfy Xu Zhuzhu's family.

This trip brought their family a bag of rice almost as tall as Xu Zhuzhu, ten heads of cabbage, five ears of corn, and countless other vegetables. Of course, there was also a large pile of wood, so their family's food supply would be sufficient for at least the next two weeks.

However, more importantly, Xu Zhuzhu found a kettle. Although it was an old model from decades ago, with a broken handle and a chipped spout, it didn't affect its use.

When she went to bed at night, she could put this kettle on the fire, so her mother wouldn't have to worry about the fire every night and wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

Moreover, it frees up the only pot they used when they fled, so they can boil water and cook rice at the same time, and they won't have to keep them separate every time.

The family happily sorted through their day's haul. As darkness fell, with Xu Zhuzhu's encouragement, they made several trips back and forth to carry everything back from the garbage station.

Actually, eating wasn't too difficult, but there was a lot of wood piled up in one corner. However, considering that it would soon be the twelfth lunar month, Xu Zhuzhu didn't care about the trouble or not and just made a few more trips.

As evening fell, Xu Wenjie was still sitting by the fire, watching the flames and pondering the rubbish manual, while Xu Zhuzhu, grinning, carried two ears of corn that were as long as her arm and walked over to Xu An, who was practicing writing with charcoal on the ground.

"Brother, come roast corn with me! Grandpa with the white beard said it's delicious!"

Although Xu An is young, he is influenced by his father and mother and dotes on Xu Zhuzhu. He never refuses Xu Zhuzhu's suggestions, and he is also very curious about what roasted corn tastes like.

"Okay, I'll come right after I finish writing these two words," Xu An replied with a smile, his hand still writing.

A pot was placed over the fire, and the porridge was already cooking. Zhang He was washing vegetables nearby. She had gotten used to being frugal lately, and even though she had brought back so much food today, she still carefully counted and only picked five cabbage leaves. Then she carefully used the only dagger in the house as a cleaver to cut the cabbage into shreds.

That was a family heirloom dagger. It looked like an ordinary dagger, except that it was engraved with a wolf's head pattern. It was very sharp. Her father had taken it with him before he fled, saying that since it was a family heirloom, it was good to have it in case of emergency.

Xu Zhuzhu's curiosity was irrepressible. She once pretended to be stupid and tried to steal it to play with, but ended up having half of her nail cut off. Luckily, she didn't cut her flesh, and she was beaten by her mother. Although her mother didn't hit her hard, it was the only time her mother had ever hit her since she was born.

"This dagger can cut through iron like mud, how dare you play with it?"

Xu Zhuzhu looked at her mother with a pitiful expression. Zhang Hecai was both angry and heartbroken. She carefully examined the half of Xu Zhuzhu's nail that had been cut off and, seeing no blood, was relieved.

However, to be fair, this dagger that could cut through iron like mud has now become a kitchen knife in her house.

Xu Zhuzhu had already squatted down next to her father and threw the two ears of corn whole into the fire. Sparks flew as they collided, and the corn quickly shrank.

"What will it look like after baking like this? It'll either be burnt or the fire will go out."

Seeing this, her father quickly smiled and moved the firewood to the side, then shoved the corn towards the edge of the fire, covering the corn with the red-hot ashes, his movements very practiced.

Xu Zhuzhu chuckled. She wasn't pretending to be stupid; she genuinely didn't know how to grill with fire. She had never grilled before; she only ate grilled food from barbecue restaurants or steamed food. It seemed her father was quite experienced!

“Your grandmother used to roast chestnuts like this when you were little. We should be able to do it right if we follow the same method,” Xu Wenjie said patiently with a smile, then pinched Xu Zhuzhu’s little nose.

Xu Zhuzhu wrinkled her nose, then gave her father a big hug with a grin, showering him with compliments: "Daddy is so amazing!"

Zhang He was adding shredded vegetables to the boiling porridge when she saw this and said with a smile, "That brat's mouth is all sweet as honey whenever she's eating."

Xu Zhuzhu rushed over and hugged Zhang He again, exclaiming, "Mommy is amazing too!" Zhang He was so startled that she stopped her, saying, "Be careful not to get burned!"

Xu Zhuzhu playfully stuck out her tongue at her mother, revealing her eight big baby teeth. Zhang He sighed and rubbed her forehead.

At this time, Xu An also finished practicing his calligraphy and came over. The family sat around the fire, talking and laughing. Of course, Xu Zhuzhu was the one who was laughed at the most.

The porridge was thicker tonight than the previous days. Although Xu Zhuzhu was thinking about roasted corn, she had been drinking thin porridge for several days and her stomach wasn't that full, so she couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.

The orange glow of the firelight illuminated Xu Zhuzhu's face. As the corn was slowly roasted by the flames, its green husks turned golden brown and curled up, revealing plump, golden kernels inside. A sweet aroma filled the room, making it a place one could linger in.

"It smells so good!" Even Xu An, who is not usually greedy, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Right? Grandpa Whitebeard wouldn't lie."

The aroma made Xu Zhuzhu swallow hard. Seeing that the corn husks were starting to char, she excitedly urged Xu Wenjie to quickly remove the corn: "Daddy! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! It'll burn!"

Seeing Zhang He washing the dishes, she covered her mouth and laughed, "You just had porridge, how can you be so greedy?"

Xu Wenjie smiled and defended her, saying, "The children have suffered a lot these days, so it's understandable that they crave something sweet."

As he spoke, he gently patted the ashes off the corn to clean it, and then, following Xu Zhuzhu's instructions, peeled off the corn husks, revealing the plump corn kernels. Xu Wenjie then took a piece of wood that they usually used as chopsticks, skewered it into the corn cob, and handed it to Xu Zhuzhu.

"Eat carefully, be careful not to burn your tongue."

Xu Zhuzhu didn't take it. She used her sleeve to break off a piece of corn and asked her father to break it in half. Xu Wenjie thought she was going to share it with Xu An, so he said, "Your brother has another one here. There's no need to share. Zhuzhu, take it and eat it yourself."

Xu Anxian answered for her first: "My sister and I will share this one, and Father and Mother will share the other one."

"Your father and I aren't hungry, you two can eat." Zhang He finished clearing away the dishes and was helping to peel another ear of corn.

Xu Zhuzhu shook her head, tugged at Zhang He's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mother is wrong. Mother and Father should also eat the good food. The whole family should be together."

So, at the insistence of Xu Zhuzhu and her brother Xu An, the couple also happily shared another roasted corn.

The crisp, tender corn burst with rich juice in her mouth, so delicious that Xu Zhuzhu was speechless. She had loved corn in her past life for three years, and now that she was finally eating it again, she was almost moved to tears. She gestured excitedly and mumbled something to herself.

Xu Wenjie was puzzled, but Xu An, who was chewing slowly, understood and explained, "My sister said you should eat quickly."

Xu Wenjie looked at his adorable daughter and laughed heartily, "Great! He Niang, let's try some too!"

After tasting it, Zhang He and Xu Wenjie finally understood why Xu Zhuzhu was in such a hurry.

Everyone has a fear of the unknown. For example, no one dares to try sweet potatoes, but their daughter does. Moreover, she seems particularly enthusiastic about trying the unknown. Xu Wenjie used to think his daughter was a genius, but recently he attributed it to her receiving guidance from a celestial being, and believed that she would surely achieve great things in the future.

Zhang He was indeed wondering if it was possible to grow something so delicious.

Xu Zhuzhu had corn stuck in her teeth and was picking at them when she suddenly saw her father looking at her with a look of satisfaction, which puzzled her greatly.

In response to her mother's question, Xu Zhuzhu slapped her thigh and declared, "It can definitely be grown!"
