A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Chapter 292 Shen Shuli climbs over the wall in the middle of the night to deliver food to Xie Chengy

"But Mother, I've never taken care of children before, I don't know anything about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of them," Su Ping'an said, somewhat flustered and at a loss.

Shen Yuehua nodded to indicate that she understood.

That second brother is so big and clumsy, it's no wonder he's not good at it.

She definitely needs to spend time teaching him properly before she can let go.

"Eldest brother, third brother, you two don't need to go out to work either. Our family doesn't need to worry about food."

"You two stay home and wait, help your second brother, and learn how to take care of children so that you can take care of your own wives and children in the future."

Shen Yuehua's gaze was fixed on Su Ding'an; her words were mainly meant for him.

The third child is already sixteen years old this year.

The Lunar New Year is just two months away, and he'll be seventeen next year. It's time to find him a wife.

Back when I was in Peach Blossom Village.

She was looking for a suitable candidate for the third son.

I finally found a good place to work, but it fell through because of the famine.

However, Shen Shuli had her eye on this girl before she even went home.

Based on her previous two experiences, Shen Yuehua felt that the girl was probably arranged by the author according to the original plot.

That personality might also have other issues.

She was also relieved that the third son didn't have the chance to go on a blind date.

Today, the island's inhabitants are mostly refugees or prisoners, and only a small percentage are women of marriageable age.

It's already quite difficult to find someone with a good temperament who can get along with the third brother.

Identity is completely unimportant.

Shen Yuehua must never go outside the island to find a wife for her son.

This is the condition now.

In this context...

Boys typically start looking for women around the age of fifteen.

After settling down and spending another year or two getting to know each other, they'll be seventeen or eighteen years old, and it'll be time to get married.

Shen Yuehua was not in a hurry.

But his son certainly wouldn't think that way. He's a person of this era, and his thoughts are definitely the same as other young men.

It's not good if everyone else at his age is already married, and he's the only one who's still single at twenty. Otherwise, he'll become what people call an old bachelor.

He must be resentful towards her as his mother.

Therefore, it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Su Ding'an was surprised that her mother would suddenly bring up this matter, and her cheeks instantly burned.

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry!" Su Ding'an quickly rejected his mother's suggestion.

“Third brother, how can you not be anxious? There are only a few women of marriageable age on the island, while there are hundreds of men your age. If you settle down with one soon, I wonder where you’ll find someone later,” Su Chang’an earnestly advised his third brother.

This matter is absolutely important and cannot be delayed!

Su Chang'an was only referring to the single teenagers at the base.

He had no idea.

There are nearly 100,000 single people in other places as well.

If I knew.

He'd definitely be so anxious that he'd drag some random girl over that very night and force the third brother to enter the bridal chamber on the spot!

Shen Yuehua also thought of this problem.

That's why they were thinking of finding a suitable girl for their third son as soon as possible so they could date her.

Su Ding'an was stunned upon hearing this.

He really hadn't thought that much about it.

Of the people who came to the island at the same time as them, 80% were men.

Because a thousand of them were Xiao Yuxuan's subordinates, that accounts for 50%.

Besides.

Whether it's the Gu family, the Zhou family, or the teams from Peach Blossom Village, the proportion of men is several times higher than that of women.

The number of women around Su Ping'an's age is even smaller!

Many more people continued to arrive on the island.

For example, Cheng Zongyi.

The thousand elite soldiers he brought were all men, and quite a few of them were young men.

Su Ding'an wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that he had nearly five hundred competitors!

Thinking about all this, he felt a little anxious.

"Ah, Mother, do you have a girl you like? Make it clear beforehand, I'll only go to meet her if I like her." Su Ding'an immediately changed his tune.

Shen Yuehua raised an eyebrow at her son, whose tone had changed so quickly, and smiled meaningfully at him.

"Why don't you just tell your mother which girl you've taken a liking to? Why be so subtle? Let me tell you, if the girl you've taken a liking to gets engaged to someone else one day, you can go find a place to cry."

Upon hearing this, Su Ding'an's face turned even redder.

He was so anxious that he couldn't utter a single word.

He really didn't expect that his mother could figure it out.

He didn't show it at all!

Su Chang'an and Su Ping'an both turned their gazes to the third brother, their eyes filled with curious and inquisitive expressions.

"No, it wasn't me! Mother, Mother, please don't joke around. I haven't taken a liking to anyone. It's completely untrue!" Su Ding'an repeatedly denied it.

Seeing her son stubbornly arguing, Shen Yuehua wasn't in a hurry anymore and said, "If it's not true, then let's wait until this extreme cold disaster is over before we talk about it again."

"Sigh, I wonder when this awful weather will end, or if it will last for three to five years."

"Why aren't you eating? Are you all full?" Shen Yuehua deliberately changed the subject.

Su Ding'an didn't expect his mother to change the subject like that.

How could Mother suddenly change the subject and stop talking!

They're actually going to drag it out for several years before they even bother with it!

How can that be done!

Su Ding'an's face turned red as he stared longingly at Shen Yuehua, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

He really wanted his mother to help him find a spouse, but he also felt that his status might not be good enough for the other person.

But he was also worried that the girl he liked might suddenly get engaged to someone else.

He might really regret it so much he'll cry himself to death!

Only then did Shen Yuehua realize that her son must have fallen for some girl.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have this expression.

But she also understands her third son.

I definitely wouldn't mention this in front of my two older brothers.

She would then stop talking at the right time, and take the opportunity to provoke her son so that he would take the initiative, so that she could take charge of the matter.

Su Ding'an had lost his appetite and silently ate with the others until the end, after which they cleaned up the dishes together.

Shen Yuehua was worried that Zhang Lanhua would wake up in the middle of the night and that her second son wouldn't know how to take care of the child.

He then told Su Ping'an to go to the third brother's room to sleep, while she stayed here to keep Zhang Lanhua company.

She then made Su Chang'an sleep with her son.

They were worried that Zhang Lanhua would be hungry after waking up in the middle of the night.

Shen Yuehua placed an earthenware pot on the stove in the room, inside which she stewed a pigeon and cooked a bowl of beef porridge, keeping it warm by the fire.

Zhang Lanhua can have a hot meal anytime she wakes up.

After everyone had finished washing up in the cubicle behind the kitchen, Shen Shuli returned to the kitchen to start preparing food.

It was already quite late when I finished.

Shen Shuli brought a food box to the Xie family to find Xie Chengyuan.

Xie Chengyuan was not resting at the moment, but was reading a book in his room with the lamp on.

He originally wanted to have a good get-together with the person he longed for, to ease the pain of missing her.

But something suddenly happened to the Su family, so he had to leave.

He racked his brains, trying to come up with another excuse to see her.

"Sigh..." Xie Chengyuan sighed deeply, his face full of worry.

Shen Shuli flew to the top of the Xie family's wall.

The courtyard lights of the Xie family's house were already out, but candlelight was still flickering in a few rooms.

She glanced at Xie Chengyuan's room and saw the shadow reflected in the window, knowing that he was still awake.

Not wanting to alert the rest of the Xie family, Shen Shuli decided to quietly try calling out from behind the wall near Xie Chengyuan's room.

The perceptive Xie Chengyuan immediately noticed that someone had broken into the courtyard.

He calmly blew out the candle, quietly opened the door, wanting to see who dared to sneak into the Xie family's house at night to do something sinister.

The Xie family is almost entirely composed of widows, each possessing exceptional talent and beauty, making them a prime target for unwanted attention.

Xie Chengyuan was worried that someone might have designs on his sisters-in-law.

Before Shen Shuli could jump off the wall, she saw the lights in Xie Chengyuan's room suddenly go out.

"No way, going to bed this early?" Shen Shuli felt a little disappointed.

It seems like it really was a bad coincidence.

As Shen Shuli was about to leave, she sensed a sharp aura coming towards her from behind.

She immediately dodged and retaliated.

Xie Chengyuan quickly sensed her unique aura on the other person, so he immediately stopped and called out, "Ah Li, it's me!"

Shen Shuli recognized the person who came and immediately stopped, looking at the other person with annoyance.

"You dare to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night!"

"I thought someone had broken into the Xie family and was trying to do something wrong, which is why I wanted to take them down. I didn't expect it to be you."

Xie Chengyuan looked at Shen Shuli with great surprise, his eyes even becoming a little sticky.

Shen Shuli said irritably, "I just saw the light on in your room, but it went out quickly. I thought you were resting."

She really didn't expect that she would be discovered by Xie Chengyuan as soon as she climbed over the Xie family's courtyard wall.

It's clear that his skills have improved significantly!

In terms of pure physical strength, she was no match for him.

But it's okay.

She has an armory.

"Let's go to my place and talk, it's too cold outside," Xie Chengyuan suggested.

Shen Shuli hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't want to disturb the rest of your family. Let's do it quietly."

Xie Chengyuan had never seen Shen Shuli so cautious before, and he found her exceptionally cute, wanting to pinch her cheeks.

“Okay, let’s be careful. Let’s go to the kitchen. It’s far from their house, so we shouldn’t be able to hear anything,” Xie Chengyuan said.

The kitchen is right here by the front door.

The Xie family also did not have a front door, so the two quietly went to the kitchen.

Xie Chengyuan lit the candle.

The lights of dusk suddenly illuminated the space.

"I brought you some food, it's still warm, but I don't know if you can still eat it now," Shen Shuli said, touching the food box.

She deliberately stored the food box in her spatial storage, so it wouldn't affect the taste of the food at all.

Xie Chengyuan had no appetite for dinner that night, but he never expected her to bring him food.

Does this mean...

She also misses him and has feelings for him.

Xie Chengyuan felt a burning passion in his heart at that moment.

"Don't worry, I can eat anything you make." Xie Chengyuan immediately opened the food box and took out all the dishes inside.

Shen Shuli specially steamed a serving of rice grown in her space for Xie Chengyuan.

The food container could not completely conceal the aroma of the rice.

Shen Shuli's dishes were all made with beef that Xie Chengyuan had sent.

There was braised beef, tomato beef brisket, stir-fried beef, West Lake beef soup, and two filet mignons.

Shen Shuli's cooking skills can only be described as above average.

But the ingredients are good, reaching a top-notch standard.

Xie Chengyuan was surprised that she had made so many delicious dishes, and his heart softened even more.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold soon," Shen Shuli urged.
