Chapter 5 Newbie Gift Pack

Shitou looked at the egg custard she handed him with a face full of fright, swallowing his saliva, "Can we really eat this?"

"Why not, go ahead and eat," Xu Ying said as she fed Hu Zi a spoonful of egg custard.

[Congratulations to the host for gaining goodwill value +1, reaching 50 points of goodwill value, which will unlock new recipes and the corresponding areas.]

Hearing the voice in her mind, Xu Ying's face lit up as she scooped another spoonful of egg custard and fed it towards Shitou.

Shitou blushed as the egg custard neared, slightly embarrassed, "Little aunt, I have grown up, I can eat by myself."

Watching his shy demeanor, Xu Ying teased with a smile, "You're only eight years old, still a kid. Your little aunt will feed you every day."

"No, no!" Shitou's face turned beet red as he refused.

"Hahahaha!" Xu Ying couldn't help but burst into laughter at his resistant expression; this kid was too funny.

Having just fed Hu Zi a bite, the little one's drool dripped out again.

Seeing the drool at the corner of his mouth, Xu Ying frowned.

Thinking of some people in the future saying that children's constant drooling might be due to a lack of trace elements in their body and then looking at Hu Zi's malnourished appearance.

It wouldn't be strange if they were lacking.

After all, it was poverty causing this. Since she had been reborn, the first thing was to improve her family's diet.

After wiping Hu Zi's drool, Xu Ying divided the egg custard into two portions—one for Hu Zi and one for Shitou.

Mrs. Xu happened to enter just as the two boys were eating the egg custard, and she immediately became furious.

Fuming, she scolded, "You two little rabbits, have I deprived you of food and drink, to snatch even a bit of egg custard from your little aunt?

Your little aunt just recovered from illness and needs nutrition, and you two starving ghosts reincarnated, get out right now."

Hearing her mother-in-law's curse, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu realized something was amiss, dropped the bowl in her hand, and hurried into the room, seeing her mother-in-law glaring at her with rage.

Looking at the bowl in her child's hands, she hesitantly shrank her neck, "Mom, I, I'm sorry."

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly without a word.

Although Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was afraid, she felt somewhat discontent.

"Shitou, Hu Zi, get out here quickly. Eat, eat, eat, snatching even your little aunt's food, I'll beat you greedy mouths," Eldest Sister-in-law Xu said with sarcasm.

Clearly, the little aunt who did nothing all day got to eat eggs, while she and her husband worked hard every day to earn work points, and yet they couldn't even afford an egg for their son.

Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, completely unaffected by Eldest Sister-in-law Xu's words, "If you're going to beat them, do it quickly, don't just talk without acting."

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu choked, her face slightly unable to maintain its composure.

Xu Ying quickly intervened, "Eldest Sister-in-law, don't beat Fortunate and Good Presence. I asked them to eat this egg custard.

Mom, if you're angry, hit me instead. Sister-in-law, quickly take Shitou and Hu Zi to prepare meals."

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, a bit surprised by these words, sensibly hurried off with her sons.

Mrs. Xu wouldn't really hit her own daughter; she huffed and approached, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want you to eat something good to nourish your body.

And look at you, giving it to those two stubborn boys; what's the use of them eating it?"

Xu Ying felt a warmth in her heart, got out of bed, and affectionately grabbed Mrs. Xu's hand with a smile, "Mom, I know you care about me, but isn't it that I just lacked the appetite?

Shitou and Hu Zi are my nephews, and I just felt they are a bit pitiful!"

Pitiful, who isn't pitiful? But nowadays, which family isn't like this? Shitou and Hu Zi at least get half their fill every meal, while other families sometimes don't even get that.

"Alright, get up and eat, I think your dad will be back soon." Mrs. Xu was fuming; such good egg custard all wasted by those two kids.

Xu Ying smiled sweetly and hurriedly said, "Okay!"

After Mrs. Xu left, Xu Ying locked the door tightly and swiftly opened the system.

[Host, do you want to open the novice gift package?]

Xu Ying nodded her head, her face filled with excitement as she awaited the novice gift package.

A bright light flashed before her eyes, and a box resembling a computer page appeared in front of Xu Ying.

It displayed the unlocked levels of gourmet recipes and the gourmet dishes she had already unlocked.

The novice gift package was in the top right corner of the screen, and she reached out to click on it.

[Congratulations, host, for receiving the novice gift package, which includes a bag of rice, a bag of flour, five kilograms of pork, a basket of chicken eggs, a basket of duck eggs, a bag of residue, five portions of Healing Powder, one bag of Random Ice Blade Blade, and a set of bow and arrow.

There are also five Level 1 recipes: Chicken Stew, Spicy Stir-fried Rabbit, Mapo Tofu, Tomato Scrambled Eggs, and Vinegar Flavored Cabbage.]

Looking at the novice gift package, Xu Ying's face was filled with excitement; having some was better than none.

After storing everything into the space, Xu Ying opened the door and left the room.

The Xu Family, except for Mr. Xu and Third Brother Xu, had all gathered in the courtyard.

Seeing her familiar family, Xu Ying's heart was overwhelmed with emotions, and her eyes filled with tears; the Xu family's three sons and one daughter.

Xu Ying was the youngest and the most pampered one, her three brothers had been indulgent of her since childhood.

No matter how unreasonable she was or how unreasonable her demands, her three brothers always found various ways to satisfy her.

At home, she was treated like a treasure, to be handled with care for fear of melting, to be placed on the back of a hand for fear of falling.

"Little sister, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Xu asked worriedly.

Xu, being the second pillar of the family besides the father, looked aged beyond his early twenties due to long-term labor, almost appearing as if he was thirty years old.

There was a hint of worry between his eyebrows, and his clothes were patched over patches.

Xu Ying shook her head and gave Xu a sweet smile, "Brother, I'm fine now."

Xu was dazzled by her smile, and he also smiled goofily, "That's good, quickly come and eat.

You've had everyone worried these past days. Third Brother doesn't know, or he would definitely have come back if he did."

Second Brother Xu warmly waved at Xu Ying, "Little sis, come sit next to me."

Xu Ying looked at Second Brother Xu's carefree demeanor, smiled, and quickly ran over, "Second Brother, I missed you so much!"

Second Brother Xu chuckled, scratching his head a bit sheepishly, "Seeing you every day and still missing me? Well, I missed you too."

Mrs. Xu laughed at them and said, "Cheeky."

But Xu Ying sincerely said, "Mom, I really missed you all, and missed Elder Brother, Eldest Sister-in-Law, and my two nephews, Second Brother, and Third Brother."

This made everyone burst into laughter.

Such a sweet talker this girl was.

Only Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was a bit taken aback as this was the first time the little sister had spoken directly to her.

Xu Ying, noticing Eldest Sister-in-law Xu's gaze, turned around and gave her a smile, which startled Eldest Sister-in-law Xu even more, causing her to tug at her husband, "Something seems off about the little sister."

Xu Ying didn't know what she was thinking; her mind was filled with memories from her past life when her elder brother had suffered a leg injury and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu had steadfastly stood by him, showing how deep her love for her elder brother was.

Thus, in this life, she wanted to treat Eldest Sister-in-law Xu well out of love for her brother.

"How's Jianguo, is Lu Daya awake yet?" Mrs. Xu asked as she saw her man returning worriedly.

Xu Jian Country had a face weathered by the years, marked by the passage, with a pair of profound eyes filled with wisdom, and also because he had been the team leader for many years, he had an imposing manner that could intimidate others when seen.
