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

Seeing that Xu Wenjie remained silent for a long time, Li Quanfu was about to ask again when Zhang He came over after tidying up, so he shut up.

Zhang He told Xu Wenjie about how the two children had gone to the Li family's house to rest with Hu San Niang that night.

"...I was also afraid that the girl inside would wake up. The two children have been living in fear these days and have had a few good nights of sleep."

Xu Wenjie smiled gently, his eyebrows arching, and composed himself so that Zhang He wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"fair enough."

Ever since he slept on the floor at home last time, Xu Wenjie knew that they only had one bed, so he specially asked Old Man Deng to make two or three long benches. In fact, they could fit together and sleep, and Zhang He was not unaware of this.

Now that Zhang He said to let the two children sleep at the Li family's house for one night, I know that my wife probably has something to say to me in private, and she can't let the two children know.

Xu Wenjie could roughly guess what it was about.

This was a big deal, and Xu Wenjie felt at ease with the children following Hu Sanniang, so naturally he had no objections.

Unexpectedly, Li Quanfu was easily distracted and said with a smile, "That's good. You two are sick and exhausted, so you can get some rest. Zhuzhu and An'an are such good children, Third Aunt will be very happy!"

Zhang He then revealed that it was Hu San Niang's idea, and Li Quanfu laughed and said, "No wonder."

Zhang He said, "I'm afraid they'll be very mischievous and cause trouble for Second Brother and Sister-in-law."

Li Quanfu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, not at all."

Privately, Hu San Niang actually loves her daughter very much.

When the couple was younger, they thought about having another daughter, but unfortunately, after all these years, they still only have one child, Xiao Mo.

Li Quanfu also knew that Hu Sanniang was now focusing all her longing for a daughter on Xu Zhuzhu. Knowing his wife's regret, he naturally offered his full support and was overjoyed, so he didn't say anything to mind.

Now that they had eaten and said what needed to be said, Li Quanfu repeatedly confirmed with Xu Wenjie that nothing serious would happen before he took his leave with peace of mind.

Under Zhang He's direction, the two children packed up together, preparing to go to the Li family's house for the night with Hu San Niang.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack, except that Zhang He insisted on adding an extra jacket for the two children.

She wasn't worried that the Li family's quilts weren't thick enough; she mainly knew that Xu Zhuzhu was a restless sleeper who kicked off the covers, and without her supervision, she might catch a cold at night.

The children can sleep in padded jackets, so even if they kick off the blankets, they'll still stay warm.

Unfortunately, both children are sensitive to the cold, especially Xu Zhuzhu.

Just as I was thinking about what else, I saw Xu Zhuzhu pulling at her coat, feeling like she couldn't breathe.

"Get dressed and don't move around!"

Zhang He glanced at her and immediately patted Xu Zhuzhu's flailing hand. Xu Zhuzhu didn't dodge and hissed in pain.

Xu Zhuzhu sighed helplessly, looking all old-fashioned, "Mother, I'm not cold."

Zhang He ignored her: "It gets cold at night."

Xu Zhuzhu: ...

She wasn't cold at all, especially since she had just finished eating and her stomach was still full, and she had been warming herself by the fire. Right now, her face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

Of course, Xu Zhuzhu's reason was no reason for Zhang He, and it was Hu San Niang who came over to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, He Niang, don't worry. I'll put it on her tonight. Look how she's wrapped up for our Zhuzhu. She hasn't even gotten cold yet, but she's already getting sick from the heat."

Zhang He finally gave up.

Before leaving, he pulled Xu Zhuzhu aside and instructed her, "Be good, don't do anything unnecessary, or you'll trouble your godmother." He then said to Xu An, "An'an, take good care of your sister."

And so on.

The implication was clear: don't misuse your abilities in the Li family. Xu Zhuzhu understood this implication.

Seeing Zhang He busy running around, Hu San Niang felt helpless.

She could easily understand Zhang He's thoughts. When her own son went to town, she was the same way, having to ask about everything before she could feel at ease.

He smiled and said, "It's just a few steps, He Niang, don't worry. I won't let them lose a single hair. I'll take them home neatly tomorrow."

Zhang He realized she had been too nervous, and that's when she let go.

After all these years, this was the first time the two children had spent the night at someone else's house. Zhang He said she was relieved, but when the time actually came, she still felt uneasy.

She often felt annoyed by her two children's constant commotion at home, but now that they were gone, she vaguely remembered them and felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something was missing.

Xu Wenjie even laughed at her, saying that the Li family really loved Xu Zhuzhu and the other two children, and that nothing would happen to them, so she could rest assured.

"I know."

Zhang He forced a smile and answered absentmindedly.

She understands the reasoning and says the same thing, but what mother doesn't worry about her child?

However, with her husband's comfort, Zhang He felt a little better.

Xu Wenjie knew Zhang He's personality; no amount of persuasion would work. He kept trying to find something to talk to her about to distract her.

"How is Uncle Mi's illness?"

"It's not good. He looks increasingly haggard. I was thinking of discussing with you about using the beads to treat Uncle Mi's illness, but judging from what Zhuzhu said, it's not possible right now... I wonder how the two children are doing..."

However, Zhang He was completely unmoved by reasoning, and the conversation eventually returned to the topic of the two children.

Xu Wenjie was also at a loss.

"Get some rest!"

Obviously, this is impossible.

Zhang He sat there blankly, lost in thought, until late at night when she remembered to tell Xu Wenjie the news she had heard.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Wenjie, who had initially responded earnestly, fell silent after only a few words, as he was already weak.

Upon closer listening, Xu Wenjie was already snoring, having fallen asleep at some point.

Zhang He stopped thinking about the girl in the room and started thinking about the two children. She didn't notice anything unusual about her husband and didn't suspect anything.

She couldn't sleep and felt the night was really long.

Then, let's talk about Xu Zhuzhu.

They would obediently agree in front of their mother, but they still had to do the tasks assigned to them.

Hu San Niang originally intended to sleep with the two children, but due to Xu Zhuzhu's strong request and Xu An's conspiracy, the two children managed to secure a separate room for themselves, which was Li Xiaomo's room.

Xu Zhuzhu finally had time to go to the garbage station to sort the garbage. She went there secretly, without even bringing Xu An, for fear of attracting the attention of the Li family.

Of course, thanks to Zhang He's strict supervision, Xu Zhuzhu was unable to sneak the tablet over, so she could only do simple garbage sorting.

After a rough estimate of the progress of several trash cans, the hazardous waste bins were still far from full, while the other trash cans were almost full again. Xu Zhuzhu prayed that a new gadget would come out, and that it wouldn't be another Bitter Scoop.

She hoped it was that thing called the Sweet Bowl, since she quite liked sweets.

However, the progress bar for the trash can seems to be getting increasingly difficult to get, let alone converting it into points.

After a jumble of random thoughts, Xu Zhuzhu returned to bed exhausted. She was truly tired and fell asleep almost immediately.

She slept soundly through the night, but before dawn the next day, her mother came eagerly to take the two of them home.

Xu Zhuzhu yawned listlessly.

She went to bed late last night and drank too much water while eating. When her mother woke her up, her eyes were very swollen and it took her a long time to open them.

She saw that her brother had already dressed himself and was washing up next to her.

Her mother moved quickly, but her eyes were dark and bluish, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well.

Seeing that Zhang He's eyes were red, Hu San Niang asked with concern, "What's wrong? Has that girl woken up?"

Hu San Niang asked Xu Zhuzhu the question she wanted to ask.
