My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 194 The Big Eater

"Old Xin is really pitiful." Xie Ninglan was almost reluctant to part with her husband.

“Daughter, tomorrow you take your dad and brother in to wash up. They look a bit pitiful.”

Xin Nian laughed so hard her shoulders trembled slightly. "I think Old Xin looks so pathetic, all muddy like a monkey. My older brother is doing just fine, isn't he?"

He remains a handsome young man, as fresh as a breeze and as clear as the moon.

They both hid in the basement for a few days and then traveled for two days, but Lao Xin's face looked darker than his older brothers', hahaha...

Xin Wenyuan stared resentfully at the little girl in the drafty cotton-padded jacket who was grinning foolishly.

"My dear daughter~~"

Xin Nian nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, hurry up and eat at noon tomorrow. After you eat, I'll take you to wash up before you go to sleep..."

"What should we eat?" Xin Wenyuan asked, pursing his lips.

Her daughter is good at making empty promises; a bowl of millet porridge with an egg is probably what she calls a "feast."

The next day at noon, Comrade Lao Xin experienced firsthand what it meant to be slapped in the face.

The team worked day and night, and finally found a relatively flat earthen slope to rest at midday.

Upon arriving in this area, they found it almost entirely in ruins, with nothing to scavenge. The group members were quite anxious because they hadn't earned any points that day.

As a result, Xin Laoliu waved his hand and invited everyone to eat rabbit hot pot.

When the two sacks of plump rabbits were pulled out from under the mule cart and thrown to the group members, everyone was astonished.

Xin Nian only asked Chen Ling to provide everyone with clean water; the rest of the washing, peeling, cooking, and seasoning were left to each family to do their own thing.

Xin Wen'an was greatly shocked. Seeing Xin Wenyuan carrying three rabbits over, he hurriedly nudged his brother, "Fourth brother..."

"What are you asking? If there's food, then eat. No more nonsense." Xin Wenyuan was too lazy to explain to him. The land was overgrown with weeds; where did the rabbits come from?

"I won't ask anything else. I just want to ask if Xiao Liu needs any help." Xin Wen'an chuckled and stepped forward.

"No need, you just need to take care of the whole family. I don't need to teach you how to do the washing and cleaning, right?"

"no, I'm fine."

On Xin Nian's side, Chang Mianmian had already quietly taken out a large pot and started braising rabbit meat, adding some millet peppers and stir-frying it.

The aroma, piping hot, made everyone around it drool with envy.

The group used three pots simultaneously: one for stir-frying vegetables and making soup, another for steaming fish, and the last for cooking rice.

This meal left everyone sweating profusely, a mix of pain and pleasure.

Eating spicy rabbit hot pot under the blazing midday sun...

Xin Nian glanced across the table and saw handsome young men and women; even though they were sweating profusely from eating, they were still good-looking.

Indeed, good-looking people look good no matter what they do.

Xin Nian gave her father a wink.

Xin Wenyuan shoveled rice into his mouth, then silently exchanged a glance with his daughter.

He has to eat his fill today, otherwise he'll have to eat millet rice and flatbread every day, and he doesn't know when he'll be able to have a decent meal again.

The villagers of Zhoucun and others were dumbfounded when they saw the procession ahead setting up pots to eat meat and cook rice.

They weren't particularly envious or jealous; on the contrary, they were quite happy.

What does this mean? It means that the governor's army has plenty of provisions.

Judging from the little girl's generous attitude in exchanging grain with them yesterday, they clearly don't lack food.

This is a good thing for all of them.

As long as I can find something to exchange for food with others, I can definitely survive indefinitely.

While they were all eating in silence, Xin Nian took out a pot of plum juice that she had prepared beforehand.

The pot wasn't very cold, mainly because we just ate hot soup and rice, and it wouldn't be good to eat something cold.

Mr. and Mrs. Xie were quite full, but after tasting the sour plum drink, they found it delicious and couldn't bear not to drink it... Everyone thought that this pleasant meal was over.

Xin Nian took out a large basket of eggs and said expressionlessly, "Cook them and divide them up yourself. We'll just have two for dinner, plus a pancake, that should be enough."

Xin Wen'an, who was at the next table, stood up and looked at his little niece as if she were a god.

Only now did he understand the meaning of his mother's words: "Take it if it's given to you, don't talk nonsense. As long as you don't do anything reckless, you'll always have something to eat from the fourth branch of the family."

Boiling eggs is such a simple task that everyone can do it, and everyone wants to do it.

Xin Wenyuan stood up and said, "After we finish eating, we can tidy up and rest. Just like yesterday, we'll rest here for three hours until the sun sets before continuing our journey."

After saying that, he took his eldest and youngest sons and followed his daughter closely.

After leaving the group, the family of four randomly found a piece of ruins.

Xin Nian had her eldest brother and younger brother wait there, while she led her father into the space.

"Where did my sister take my father?"

"Sister, take Father to a nice place to bathe. I'll be going in later too. But I can't tell anyone about what I saw and heard today. Can you do that?"

Xin Mohan nodded her little head emphatically, "I won't say anything, Han'er won't say anything either."

After being led into the farm by his daughter, Xin Wenyuan wandered around several times, touching the crops in the fields with obvious affection.

"My dear daughter, I could live here for the rest of my life!"

"Dad, you can only stay here for a maximum of thirty hours."

"That's not bad either, at least I can get some sleep here."

Xin Nian chuckled, "You two grown men are still outside sunbathing and waiting!"

Xin Wenyuan then came to his senses and said, "Oh, right."

He pouted dejectedly, "Then can I go for a swim in the lake?"

"What do you say?"

"Alright, alright, can I wash my face in front of the lake?"

"Just don't pour the bathwater into the lake after you're done showering."

"Daughter~~~ Trust your father, he's not that rough!"

Xin Nian looked at her beggar-like father and couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, stop bragging. We were locked up in the underground garage for a few days and then let out for a couple of days, but you're several shades darker than my older brother, cousin, and His Highness!"

Have you really not looked in the mirror and seen the mess you've made of yourself?
She laughed heartily and slipped out, ignoring her father's angry glare.

The father and his two sons lined up to wash. When it was Xin Mohan's turn, Xin Nian teased him, "Do you want your sister to help you wash?"
The child blushed and waved his little hands, giving three consecutive negatives.

Although the children didn't want to help, Xin Nian was still afraid that her little brother would drown in the bathtub.

She remained in the space, occasionally scanning the wooden tub splashing water with her mind, and shook her head helplessly.

The child took the longest to bathe, and it was Xin Nian who finally called out because she thought he had been soaking for too long, and only then did the child obediently climb out of the tub and change into clean clothes.

The father and his two sons underwent a complete transformation, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

That fair and clean face looks like it's been washed.

Xin Nian simply pulled out three bamboo hats, which could cover their faces and shield them from the sun.

Fortunately, when the family of four returned home, most people were already fast asleep from exhaustion, so they didn't notice anything amiss.

Back in the group, they spread out straw mats, covered their faces with straw hats, and fell asleep immediately.

I had a big meal and boiled eggs today, which took a lot of time, so it was completely dark when I woke up.

The group members hadn't earned any points all day and felt like something was missing.

After the team set off, they traveled and rested intermittently, and safely completed the five-day journey.

When the temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, some people fainted.
