When Shen Lu woke up again, it was already completely dark.

Looking at the unfamiliar scene before her, and feeling a dull ache in the back of her head, it took her a long time to realize that she had transmigrated into a book.

Oh, and what about her two children?

Shen Lu moved very quietly as she arrived at the door of Gu Xingze's ward.

Gu Xingze lay quietly on the hospital bed, and judging from his complexion, his fever had subsided.

Gu Xingyu frowned, feeling extremely insecure, and huddled next to his brother.

The two little ones slept soundly in the narrow single bed.

After a short rest, Shen Lu's health has improved considerably.

The two children must be hungry, as they haven't eaten much all day.

So she asked the nurse to take good care of the child and went home to cook.

This is a military hospital, so there's no need to worry about the child being in danger.

She'll be back soon.

Shen Lu rushed home, and when she passed the supply and marketing cooperative, it was just closing time.

Shen Lu quickly bought some rice with her grain coupons and some lean meat with her meat coupons.

In her past life, Shen Lu, who was successful in her career, had cooking as her hobby. She spent a lot of money to learn from many famous chefs.

Although many seasonings were unavailable in this era, the ingredients were of high quality, so the food made from them should taste pretty good.

Shen Lu cleared a space in the kitchen, then deftly washed the rice and vegetables, chopped the ginger into minced ginger, and sliced ​​the meat into pieces, preparing to cook a pot of meat porridge.

Shen Lu couldn't stand the messy and dirty state of her home for even a moment longer.

So, while the porridge was cooking, I started tidying up the room.

The room was littered with used dishes, the food scraps on them had turned sour and moldy, and the dirty clothes that had been worn were piled up into a small mountain.

There were food stains on the sheets and duvet cover.

Everything was unacceptable to Shen Lu, who had a phobia of germs; she just wanted to throw all of these things away.

However, in this era of resource scarcity, it is difficult to come up with a large sum of money to repurchase household necessities.

Shen Lu understood her current situation and genuinely wanted to live a better life, so she could only wash her personal items and continue using them.

Only things that are truly unacceptable will be thrown away.

After more than an hour of sweeping and cleaning, Shen Lu was covered in sweat.

Shen Lu was exhausted and had a sore back. She collected all the trash together and threw it away, leaving only dirty clothes and dirty sheets and blankets.

Shen Lu planned to deliver the food and then come back to wash up after finishing these massive tasks.

Shen Lu took a quick shower and changed her clothes. Because the back of her head was still bandaged, she didn't wash her hair.

The porridge was ready by then, and Shen Lu opened the lid to add seasonings.

The porridge was bubbling and simmering, its aroma a blend of the sweetness of the vegetables and the fragrance of the meat, making one's mouth water.

Shen Lu took a bite, and the taste was just as good as that of a five-star chef from her previous life.

Although her stomach was growling with hunger, Shen Lu only ate a little. At the moment, the most important thing, besides taking good care of her two children, was to lose weight.

She looked in the mirror when she passed by the restroom. Although her body was a bit chubby, it was still pretty. Even at 180 pounds, she still had delicate features.

She had very fair skin, not much fat on her face, bright almond-shaped eyes, a slightly humped nose, full lips, and a highly folded face.

With those features and a height of 1.68 meters, he would be incredibly powerful if he lost weight.

Shen Lu felt a faint sense of anticipation, and her motivation to lose weight instantly surged.

So even though she was very hungry, Shen Lu did not eat.

After packing the porridge into two portions, Shen Lu rushed to the hospital.

She had just arrived at the hospital entrance when she ran into a nurse coming out of the hospital.

The nurse was the same one who had just come out of the emergency room to notify Shen Lu.

Shen Lu seemed to remember something and quickly stepped forward.

"Hello comrade, I am the mother of the little boy with the high fever from earlier. Could I ask you for a favor?"

The nurse looked Shen Lu up and down and noticed that she had changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes and was carrying a lunchbox.

She even showed concern for the child; the nurse's expression improved somewhat.

"What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu picked up the lunchbox in her hand.

"This is the porridge I just cooked. Could you please take it inside for me? The kids are still throwing a tantrum, and they definitely won't eat it if I bring it in. You see..."

Shen Lu's voice grew softer as she spoke, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.

The nurse didn't ask any further questions, took the porridge, and turned to walk towards Gu Xingze's ward.

"Don't say I did it," Shen Lu instructed.

Shen Lu deliberately waited a few minutes until the nurse's figure completely disappeared from the hospital entrance before following her.

Shen Lu stood cautiously peeking at Gu Xingze from outside his hospital room.

This was the first time she had cooked for the children, and she didn't know if it would suit their tastes.

The children looked shy when the nurse told them that she had made porridge for them.

Although they felt embarrassed, the children were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore, and they shyly accepted the food.

Gu Xingze had woken up, but his face was pale and bloodless. The nurse kindly opened the lunchbox and fed him bite by bite.

Gu Xingyu, on the other hand, held his lunchbox and slurped down his drink with relish, his face almost buried in the lunchbox.

The little face, which had been wrinkled, finally relaxed and became immersed in the soft and fragrant meat porridge.

After finishing the full lunchbox of porridge, Gu Xingyu patted his round belly and said contentedly.

"Nurse, the porridge you made is so delicious."

The nurse, with her back to Shen Lu by the door, was scooping porridge into Gu Xingze's mouth, when she heard this and glanced discreetly at the door behind her.

Shen Lu was relieved after seeing that the twins had finished all the porridge in the lunchbox.

They quietly left the hospital and returned home.

While sorting through the complicated information in her mind, she washed all the dirty clothes, sheets, and duvet covers that she had put away in the bathroom.

It was already late at night when I finished all of this.

Exhausted, Shen Lu returned to her bedroom and almost fainted, falling asleep immediately.

*

The next day, she woke up to a loud knocking on the door.

"Shen Lu, open the door! I know you're home, don't pretend you're dead."

Since taking over the company, Shen Lu has been in a daze every day, but no one has ever dared to disturb her sleep, because no one can withstand her anger.

Awake to the noise, Shen Lu was a little annoyed. After getting dressed, she went to the door and pulled it open forcefully.

His face was so dark it seemed to drip ink, and his eyes shot out like sharp arrows. His large body completely blocked the doorway.

Fan Cuiying's arrogant attitude vanished almost instantly.

Gu's mother, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes, pointed at Shen Lu, and denounced her.

"Director of the Women's Federation, wasn't I right? Look at this woman, she looks like the Grim Reaper coming to collect a debt. How can I feel at ease leaving my two grandsons with her!"

Fan Cuiying, who was standing nearby, immediately agreed with Gu's mother and son.

"That's right. Yesterday, my mother and I went to the hospital to visit my two nephews. Unexpectedly, my elderly mother was pushed to the ground by her. My mother's tailbone is still hurting."

Mother Gu immediately followed suit and revealed the ultimate purpose of their trip.

"Shen Lu has turned the whole house into a dump; the children are suffering terribly living with her. Director of the Women's Federation, you must help these two children escape this hellhole!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu let out a cold laugh.

Now we know what they're really up to.

It turns out they wanted more than just money; they also wanted her two sons!
