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

Zhang He sighed helplessly. Since the food had been delivered, she decided to make some chicken soup for Xu Wenjie, but she had to deal with the fish she had bought first.

According to Xu Zhuzhu, the fish soup cooked in the Meimei pot is not only delicious, but also retains its "nutrients." She didn't know what these nutrients were, but Zhuzhu had told her that they were only good for people and had no harm.

She was pleased with the results.

Mei was not awake. Xu Wenjie was already exhausted, and after spending half the night with Zhang He, he was now sleeping soundly.

Fortunately, things have been like this for the past few days. Even though Zhang He had her doubts, she just assumed that Xu Wenjie had stayed up all night.

She washed her hands and went to make soup, asking the two children to check if Xu Wenjie had woken up.

"If Daddy hasn't woken up yet, An'an, wake him up for breakfast. If he sleeps any longer, he'll miss breakfast. The sun is about to rise."

It's not that exaggerated. The sun rises late in winter. Xu Zhuzhu figured it was probably not even seven o'clock yet, and the frost and mist on the eastern mountain hadn't dissipated yet!

However, in all matters at home, especially in such trivial matters, her mother had the final say. Her father always obeyed her mother's orders, and the two siblings had no choice but to listen to her.

I figured that at worst, I could just let her dad catch up on his sleep after breakfast.

The two children squatted by the bed, even plucking a few hairs from their father's cheeks, but still couldn't wake him up.

Xu Zhuzhu was taken aback. If her father's breathing hadn't been so steady and even, she would have given him a full-body checkup.

"Zhuzhu, what should we do now? Mother will definitely find out."

After all, they had personally promised their father, and the two children didn't want to go back on their word. They were determined to cover for Xu Wenjie. Xu An was conflicted, but he couldn't come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried.

Xu Zhuzhu paced back and forth with her hands behind her back and her short legs. She caught a glimpse of the tablet under her father's pillow, scratched her head, a glint of insight flashed in her eyes, and she made a quick decision:

"Brother, go tell Mother that Father and I are going to the garbage dump, so Mother won't worry."

"Is this okay?"

Xu An's face scrunched up, his thick eyebrows forming a line. He thought his mother wasn't that stupid; she would definitely come in and check on him, since his father hadn't even washed his face yet, let alone eaten breakfast.

Xu Zhuzhu shrugged and spread her hands, grinning as she said, "Then what should we do? We can't let Mother find out, can we? Father and Mother will definitely start arguing then. Brother, have you forgotten? Mother won't cook when she's angry, so Father will have to cook then..."

Xu Zhuzhu explained the seriousness of the matter.

The main issue is that her father's cooking is something that the siblings rarely agree on and find hard to accept.

Xu An wasn't a picky eater, but if his father cooked the food, he felt he could be a little picky. So, under Xu Zhuzhu's eager gaze, he strode out.

Xu Zhuzhu didn't hesitate for long. Before her brother could return, she had already taken her father and rushed over.

When Xu An brought in two bowls of rice porridge at Zhang He's instruction, only the unconscious Mei was left in the room.

When Xu Wenjie woke up, Xu Zhuzhu estimated that it was already noon.

At that moment, Xu Wenjie, who was asleep, vaguely heard the sound of heavy objects falling beside him.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her daughter Xu Zhuzhu's small figure, standing on tiptoe, tilting her head back, and waving her left and right hands.

The little girl had her back to him, and a few beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead. She was panting with her hands on her hips from time to time. Her serious and cute appearance softened his heart.

Xu Wenjie watched quietly for a while.

Xu Zhuzhu was intently directing the trash collection, gesturing wildly to the left and right, muttering something under her breath, looking extremely busy.

"Zhuzhu?"

Xu Wenjie finally spoke up.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Zhuzhu froze, turned around without hesitation, and her joy was clearly visible on her face.

Seeing that Xu Wenjie had woken up, Xu Zhuzhu's eyes lit up immediately. "Father, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I really wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret any longer."

She was afraid her mother would notice something was amiss.

When Xu Zhuzhu brought her father over, she specially moved a long bench to the garbage station for Xu Wenjie to lie on. She pulled her father over to the garbage station to rest, but there was nowhere to lie down in the garbage station.

Xu Wenjie looked at the bench he was sitting on and asked Xu Zhuzhu what was going on. This time, Xu Zhuzhu didn't waste any words and explained it clearly in a few words.

"Zhuzhu is indeed very thoughtful."

Xu Wenjie praised generously.

After sleeping for so long, he felt refreshed and his fatigue from yesterday had completely disappeared.

He found it very strange.

I felt even more tired yesterday than last time, so how come I recovered much faster this time?

Xu Zhuzhu was too happy to think much about it, and she waved her hand haphazardly to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Feeling her hands were sticky, she wiped them on the little apron Zhang He had made for her.

Looking at the garbage station that had been almost cleaned up, and seeing my daughter wiping her sweat, I felt a sense of relief, but a suspicion still lingered in my mind.

"Zhuzhu, did you secretly help Daddy heal his injuries?"

Xu Zhuzhu, who was busy, was stunned for a moment when she suddenly heard her father ask this question. She looked blank.

Xu Zhuzhu casually opened her sweaty hands and wiped them on her apron. "No."

She didn't.

Although she had indeed had this idea and even tried it secretly while her father was asleep, she unfortunately did not succeed.

The answer given by the tablet is that, in principle, the current efficacy of the red bead is sustained by her father's energy. The simplest explanation is that like repels like, and she cannot use her father's energy to treat the result of her father's weakness due to energy deficiency. This is cause and effect, and her father is the preceding factor.

That makes sense.

Of course, this is just an example. In short, it just needs to be said: no.

Seeing Xu Zhuzhu's unwavering answer and her frank tone, which didn't seem like she was lying behind his back, Xu Wenjie became even more suspicious.

Could it be that after using it a few times, I've been influenced by the bead and developed healing abilities?

He was lost in thought.

After being suddenly asked this question out of the blue by her father, who then remained silent, she squinted and leaned closer.

"Father? What's wrong?"

At that moment, Xu Zhuzhu, who had gotten closer, was suddenly startled, her eyes widening as she stared intently at her father.

He looked her up and down with a series of "ee-yah" sounds, then burst into joyful laughter, exclaiming:

"Father, are you alright now?"

Compared to his haggard appearance yesterday, Xu Wenjie's complexion is now like night and day. Not only have his lips regained their color, but his eyes are also bright and alert, and his face is even more rosy.

"Yes, it feels much fresher."

Xu Wenjie wasn't sure either, but the heavy feeling on his body had disappeared, and he felt completely relaxed.

Xu Zhuzhu grinned, revealing her eight baby teeth. Not to mention yesterday, she looked completely different from when she dragged her father to the garbage this morning.

Overjoyed, the father and daughter had a detailed discussion and ultimately attributed the credit to the entire garbage station.

This was also mentioned after the father and daughter consulted the tablet.

Although the garbage dump doesn't have the powerful healing abilities of the red bead, being in the entire garbage dump can, to some extent, accelerate Xu Wenjie's recovery of energy.

The two suddenly realized that this made sense.

Xu Zhuzhu had a flash of inspiration and came up with a new idea.

If the garbage station can speed things up, then the hazardous waste bins, which are used to synthesize red beads with healing effects, might also be able to utilize this principle. For example, if she threw her father into the garbage bin, he could even be healed instantly.

Xu Wenjie: ...

He was afraid that Xu Zhuzhu might suddenly decide to interrupt the spell:

"This is such a wonderful idea. Let's try it on an injured little animal another day. Let's go back now so your mother won't worry."

Xu Zhuzhu felt deeply regretful.

Out of the father and daughter's sight, the tablet screen flashed, displaying three large characters:

—Dream on.
