The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 29: Medicinal Bath

After an unknown amount of time, the sun had completely set, and night had fallen.

The groups who had been working on clearing the wasteland had all returned home.

Some groups that worked more slowly decided to finish their tasks tomorrow and had already gone home, while others were determined to finish even if it meant working in the dark.

Li Xiufen and her two sons had finished their work a while ago, but they had spent nearly an extra hour helping Fu Weibao.

As the team leader, Fu Weibao could have avoided working alongside the villagers, but he chose to do what they did, earning their respect and fostering good relations between the villagers and the officials.

Back to the present, clearing the wasteland was usually done in groups of three or four. However, Fu Weibao, in his effort to motivate the villagers, insisted on doing the work of two people by himself.

He was exhausted but didn't finish. In the end, his two sons had to help him complete the work.

When it was time to go home, it was already dark...

Returning home after returning the tools to the warehouse, Fu Weibao smiled, "I told you, with a bit more effort, one person can do the work of two. Today, we've exceeded our goal for clearing the wasteland."

Fu Yu responded coldly, "I don't care about your goals. I only know that if you keep doing this, your health will deteriorate."

Fu Weibao chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, son. I won't push myself like this in the future."

Fu Hong teased him without mercy, "Next time when we're not around, you'll still push yourself like this, and we won't even know, right?"

The smile on Fu Weibao's face faded.

Fu Hong, with a carefree attitude, said, "Dad, just keep enduring. You look older than Mom now. When you're worn out, Mom can always find another one."

Fu Weibao responded with a forced smile, "Unfilial child."

Ahead, Li Xiufen couldn't listen any longer and glared, "Aren't you all hungry? Hurry up, your sister must have dinner ready by now."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace...

When they reached home, the aroma of food greeted them.

Opening the door, they heard the old man's voice from the kitchen, "Xiao Xiao, they're back. We can start eating now."

Fu Xiao responded and peeked out from the kitchen, "Wash your hands, and dinner's ready."

The stewed meat was sliced and placed in an enamel basin with a bit of sauce, along with greens and fried eggs, all served on the dining table.

Seven bowls of porridge were served, and the steamed buns were placed in a bamboo basket on the table.

After everyone washed their hands, they sat at the dining table. Grandpa Fu was the first to taste a piece of stewed meat, saying, "Hmm... it's very chewy, tastes a bit like stewed beef."

Li Xiufen also praised, "The roe deer meat isn't tough at all and is quite flavorful."

Little brother Fu Kai ate eagerly, his face covered in oil.

Fu Hong exaggeratedly gave her two thumbs up.

Seeing everyone enjoying the meal, Fu Xiao felt very satisfied with her cooking.

It wasn't just her cooking skills; the key was the addition of spring water and spiritual water.

Everyone ate until they were full and sweaty, finishing all the food on the table. The porridge was gone, and not a single bit of the nearly five pounds of meat was left...
