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

When Xu Zhuzhu woke up, Li Quanfu had already left.

"...Old man by the stream. White temples against green eyebrows, white teeth against red lips... This is the rhyme of Yidong, you should memorize it."

Her father was sitting by the fire, teaching her brother to read while adding firewood to her mother's fire; it looked like they were about to start cooking.

At that moment, she was happily munching on fried chicken with her left hand and holding a cup of milk tea in her right, when suddenly a piece of ice fell from the sky and woke her up...

Hearing the noise, Zhang He brought Xu Zhuzhu the cotton-padded coat that had been warming by the fire. Xu Zhuzhu felt itchy on her back, but she couldn't scratch it with her short arms, so she had to ask Zhang He for help.

"Bear with it, Zhuzhu. I'll boil some hot water and wipe it for you, and it won't itch anymore," Zhang He said gently as she scratched her itch.

Xu Zhuzhu then realized that they hadn't taken a bath in months. They hadn't even solved their basic needs for food and clothing, so how could they take a bath?

"I'll just have to bear with it for now," Xu Zhuzhu sighed, trying to comfort herself.

She got up too late today, and without her, the whole family couldn't go to the garbage dump. So, they could only have plain porridge for lunch. While Zhang He was cooking the porridge, Xu Zhuzhu peeked into the rice bag and found that there was still a little bit of rice left, but it wouldn't last long, at most ten days.

Xu Zhuzhu was worried, and so were Zhang He and his wife. The snow outside was still falling relentlessly, with no end in sight.

So after lunch, the family acted in unison, grabbing Xu Zhuzhu's hand and heading towards the garbage dump.

"Open Sesame!" a childish voice rang out.

The family of four reappeared near the garbage station, but the pile of discarded furniture from a few days ago had already been cleared away.

Xu Wenjie inwardly thankful he had gathered the materials quickly, otherwise he wouldn't even have enough wood to repair the house. Zhang He, meanwhile, had already opened the trash can and was half-buried inside, rummaging through it. But strangely, there seemed to be very little stuff there today; almost nothing.

Zhang He asked Xu Zhuzhu what was going on, and Xu Zhuzhu shook her head in confusion. Logically speaking, the garbage truck wouldn't start collecting garbage in broad daylight.

"Father! Mother! Come quick!"

Just then, Xu An exclaimed in surprise outside the garbage station.

When Xu Zhuzhu and the others walked over, they saw all kinds of garbage piled up around the outside of the garbage station, while the garbage cans inside were empty.

"What the hell?" Xu Zhuzhu cursed inwardly. So the people in her old neighborhood were all so inconsiderate?

Although she was cursing in her heart, her hands kept moving. She started squatting down and rummaging through the trash to see if she could find anything useful. She was also thinking about moving all the trash she could carry into the trash can later, but Zhang He had already pulled her and her brother aside.

"Zhuzhu and An'an, go stand over there. Your mother is coming to find you, so don't hurt yourselves."

Xu Zhuzhu: ...

Xu An obediently stayed to the side, just like before, guarding the entrance to the garbage station, hoping to see if the fat auntie from the previous times would come to throw away new garbage.

Xu Zhuzhu disagreed.

She actually really wanted to rummage through the trash, although it's not a good way to put it, but it gave her a feeling of treasure hunting. Xu Zhuzhu attributed this feeling to post-traumatic stress disorder...

Her mother wouldn't let her rummage through the trash, so she had no choice but to pick up some useless garbage and throw it into the trash can. This was something she firmly believed in as a basic duty of a good citizen.

She was just carrying a bag of waste paper, about to throw it in the trash can, when she suddenly noticed that her father had been circling around the trash cans the whole time, holding her "Trash Sorting Handbook" in his hand.

Ever since Xu Zhuzhu showed the manual to her father yesterday evening, he has been reading it ever since he finished dinner last night. This made her sigh with admiration. Her scholar father was indeed very studious. He had been studying a rubbish manual for almost a day and a night and had not given up.

Seeing Xu Zhuzhu approach, Xu Wenjie, who had been frowning, snapped out of his reverie and quickly pulled her aside. He pointed to the symbols on the manual and then to the corresponding symbols on the trash cans: "Zhuzhu, look, the pictures in this book seem to be the same as the patterns on these boxes. Could there be some connection between them?"

Although Xu Wenjie had never seen characters written in this style before, he was naturally gifted. He had studied the Four Books and Five Classics hundreds of times and had his own set of learning methods. After listening to his daughter's explanation last night, he was able to understand the meaning of the manual by reading and guessing.

Xu Zhuzhu looked at the icons, nodded seriously, and said in her childish voice, "Grandpa with the white beard said that they are related."

In short, Xu Zhuzhu explained to Xu Wenjie how to classify this type of garbage and the corresponding classification icons.

Xu Wenjie nodded in understanding after hearing this, and kept exclaiming that the people in the "fairyland" were indeed very wise, even their discarded items were so different.

Xu Zhuzhu grinned and chuckled, offering no comment.

"So, could it be that the immortal wanted us to help him sort out this discarded item? Otherwise, why would he give you this book?"

How could that be? It can't be that simple.

Xu Zhuzhu shook her head vigorously, but her father, a man of action, ignored her answer and took the pile of waste paper from her hand, throwing it into the recycling bin.

Under Xu Zhuzhu's disdainful gaze, a flash of green light appeared in the empty bin, and neatly cut pieces of wood filled the trash can marked as recyclable.

? ? ? ?

Xu Wenjie and Xu Zhuzhu were dumbfounded.

What?! It's that simple?

"Zhuzhu! Look!" Xu Wenjie was as happy as a child when he saw this. "It seems that I am right! I have to study this book carefully... He Niang, come quickly!" He shouted again.

Zhang He, who was rummaging through the trash outside, heard her husband calling out. Thinking something had happened, she hurriedly put down the two half-rotten carrots she had just found and ran over.

Xu An heard the noise and was about to run over when he bumped into Xu Zhuzhu, who was going out to pick up trash for another experiment.

"What's wrong with Zhuzhu?"

"I'll tell my brother later." Xu Zhuzhu made a "shh" gesture mysteriously.

Still skeptical, she quickly went outside the garbage station and grabbed two eggshells from a bag of trash.

Under the watchful eyes of the family, it was thrown into the trash can labeled "kitchen waste." About a second later, a flash of white light appeared, and two perfectly intact eggs appeared in the trash can.

"What...what's going on?" Zhang He covered her mouth in surprise and looked at her husband in shock. Xu Wenjie calmly reached out and picked up the two eggs from the bucket, shook them, and handed them to Zhang He. "He Niang, these are good raw eggs."

Zhang He was half-believing and half-doubting. With trembling hands, she carefully took the two eggs, shook them, and sure enough, they were real eggs. Overjoyed, she asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Xu Wenjie pointed to the pile of wood again before mysteriously explaining to the mother and son what he and Xu Zhuzhu had just experienced.

"So it's because the immortals are helping us? As long as we put these discarded things outside into the right boxes as the book says, they can be turned into something new?" Zhang He exclaimed, carefully observing the two eggs and the pile of wood, and then gently stuffing the two eggs into her cotton coat.

"Zhuzhu, is this real? Am I dreaming?"

Xu An was also very puzzled. He tugged at Xu Zhuzhu's sleeve with a mixture of surprise and delight, and asked excitedly.

If that's really the case, then his father, mother, sister, and him won't have to suffer from hunger and cold anymore, right?

Xu Zhuzhu finally believed that things were that simple. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Brother, why don't you give it a try too!"

Xu An picked up eight rotten vegetable leaves and came back.

Xu Zhuzhu told him to put it in the kitchen waste bin. In an instant, a white light flashed, and seven plump cabbages and one lush green lettuce appeared in the bin.

Xu An was so happy he shouted, "Daddy, Mommy, look! It's really turned into a delicious dish!"

"He Niang, you should give it a try too," Xu Wenjie urged his wife with a smile.

Zhang He was eager to try it out, so she rushed outside to pick and choose, and picked up two corn cobs and four or five takeout boxes with lots of leftover food.

“…Corn cobs and leftover food are kitchen waste, and plastic boxes are other waste…” Under the direction of Xu Zhuzhu and Xu Wenjie, Zhang He put the collected items into the corresponding trash cans one by one.

A flash of white light appeared.

Two fresh sweet corn cobs, still wrapped in their leaves, half a bucket of raw rice, and two carrots appeared in the bucket.

"This is amazing!" Zhang He excitedly took the corn out of the bucket, then paused for a moment before asking in confusion, "But Zhuzhu, what is this thing called corn on the cob? It smells so sweet! Can we eat it?"

Xu Wenjie and Xu An both looked at Xu Zhuzhu with the same puzzled expression.

Xu Zhuzhu felt ashamed; she had forgotten that there were no corn plants in the place where she was reincarnated.

"Grandpa with the white beard said it's edible."

The family happily emptied the contents of the bin and went outside to collect other kitchen waste, forgetting about the plastic box in the other bin...
