After leaving the Li Xue space she looked at the bucket that was beside the bed with magic, after that she got up and opened the wooden window of the room and looked out, it was not the end of the afternoon, it must have been only about two to three hours after she entered the space, it would still be another hour and a half before Grandma Li returned from work.

She immediately took the bucket to the kitchen water barrel and deposited the water in it after removing the rest of the "ordinary" water that was there. After that she opened the food cupboards to see what was still in the cupboards, and apparently there was only corn bran, and a small piece of bacon left over from the last new year. home and there were only cucumbers, it seems they were really short of almost everything, she would have to find a way to get access to food from space so as not to create suspicion soon.

After looking at this, she saw the two chickens they raised and soon thought about spiritual water, after all the chickens were as malnourished as she was by the lack of food, which made it almost a miracle that they lay an egg. But with the idea of spiritual water is to improve health when consumed it is perfect to be used to improve the quality and quantity of eggs that these chickens can lay.

Immediately she filled the chickens with water and almost as if they saw the most delicious thing they immediately ran into the water. It seems that animals are instinctively attracted to spiritual water.

After she finished seeing the chickens animated by simple water, she turned and went back to the kitchen, using the memories she obtained, she started to light the clay stove with the wood that had been collected in the forest previously. After she managed to light the fire and keep it steady she started to cook the corn bran with spiritual water and made porridge, after she was done topping the pan and starting to cut the cucumber and started seasoning it, after everything was ready she covered it with a kitchen towel and then turned her attention to the small table to eat, wiped it with a rag, then took the cutlery, plate, cleaned and dried and then put it on the table in positions. after everything was ready now just wait for Grandma Li to return.

It didn't take long for old lady Lin Zhao, or better known as Grandma Li to return to work, after a tiring day and a long walk home, she couldn't help feeling happy when she arrived at her little girl's gate. little house.

Upon entering the door of the house she saw her little granddaughter sweeping the floor of the room, although many say that her granddaughter is a bad omen, for Grandma Li she is all her good luck, she is the only trace left of her good older son, many say that mother should not have favorites, but it became inevitable for Lin Zhao to love his older son more, as he had the closest appearance to his late husband Li Wang.

Grandma Li only stood firm thanks to her eldest son who took responsibility for the whole family because of this he joined the army and took a long time to get married, while his two younger brothers got married and had children he took so long to do so when he finally married the educated girl, while many matriarchs in the village would be against it, Grandma Li was totally in favor, because finally her beloved son would have her little family.

But not long after the birth of his first daughter he died on duty outside without even having a body to bury him, soon afterwards his youngest children showed their true selfish colors and so she must be strong and resilient again for to be able to protect her daughter-in-law and granddaughter from those traitors, in the end her daughter-in-law was still a strong woman and remained steadfast with her in this small house, raising her granddaughter until Li Xue was ten years old, and then she became ill, mainly because she insisted on diminishing her own. portions of food not to be missed by the daughter and mother-in-law.

Grandma Li couldn't help feeling sorry every time she saw her granddaughter who was supposed to be a little princess loved by her father, but in the end she only had this grandmother without power, to love and care for her.

"Grandmother! When you came back, why didn't you say anything? "

Li Xue had already noticed Grandma Li's presence from the moment she opened the patio gate, but she was waiting for the lady to speak to her, but she was lost in thought for a few seconds and Li Xue was for a moment worried that she had realized that she was not his granddaughter, but that was impossible because she was her granddaughter, only her soul that changed.

So she took the courage to call her the same way she was in her memories, leaving aside any worries.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that old woman's bullshit. Now why XiaoXue, are you sweeping again? Didn't I tell you to rest today and enjoy that you don't have to work to get points? "

"But I was bored with nothing to do."

Li Xue couldn't help but make a pitiful look while being scolded by her grandmother. Then she went to the kitchen and brought a basin of warm water to Grandma Li's front so she could clean her face and hands as well as a towel.

"Silly girl, so you don't get tired of it. Let it go, let's have dinner. and then rest. "

Grandma Li complained again with a loving smile on her face as she dried her hands washed with the towel brought by her granddaughter and turned to the dinner table.

As soon as Grandma Li sat at the table Li Xue went to the kitchen and came back with the dinner she had prepared earlier, when they were both at the table, Li Xue waited for Grandma Li to start eating and also started eating.

They both spent dinner quietly talking about the day's events, mainly focusing on the gossip heard by Grandma Li at work or the other women in the village she met in the morning when she left for work. It was a harmonious moment, and made Li Xue able to relax a little, she realized that Grandma Li was not suspicious and didn't even think she was different from normal, so she didn't have to worry, just act as close to normal, or as close to your memories.

After dinner, Li Xue washed all the utensils and then heated the spiritual water until it boiled. After that, she placed it in a large basin together with a little cold "ordinary" water, since the spiritual water would close a scar by the description. can cause big changes, so to avoid such an effect she decided to mix it up to have a more gradual change, after preparing everything she called Grandma Li to clean up, although it will soon come winter and normally people don't bathe, Grandma Li she has the habit of cleaning and because of her the original also had, which Li Xue is grateful for, because she could not bear to spend the whole winter without taking a shower.

She helped Grandma Li clean her back and wash her hair, after all despite being an independent lady, Grandma Li is still a certain age and Li Xue agrees with the original's concern about leaving Grandma Li alone in one place wet where it can slip. After Grandma Li left the "room" where they take a shower to go get ready to sleep Li Xue started using the water that had not yet cooled to clean her own body as well, this room was just three walls raised with a wooden door connected to the kitchen, after cleaning it dried and the hair.

After getting dressed she arranged everything in its proper place and went back to the room when she got to the room she saw that grandma Li was already sleeping in the kang, she then turned off the lamp and left it on top of the dresser then she went under her covered in the kang and closed her eyes to fall asleep, or look like that.
