Interstellar Journey after Rebirth

Wu Li knew that this family was not wealthy and Chen Mo rarely brought anything home.

Although this jade pendant looks ordinary, it seems to have an unusual meaning.

"Where did this come from?" Wu Li asked.

"I found it from a garbage dump in the slums." Chen Mo replied, "I thought it looked unusual, so I brought it back."

Wu Li looked at the jade pendant carefully and found that although its surface was a little worn, the carved patterns were very delicate and seemed to contain some kind of ancient power.

An inexplicable feeling surged in her heart, as if this jade pendant had some special connection with her.

"Old Chen, do you think this jade pendant will bring us good luck?" Wu Li asked softly.

Chen Mo was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I don't know. But I think, as long as we work hard, good luck will always come."

His words were full of determination and hope, which made Wu Li's heart warm. She knew that no matter how difficult life was, as long as the two of them supported each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

This jade pendant is a little whitish and looks like a low-quality plastic handicraft, but when you knock on it, it makes a crisp glass sound.

Its shape is strange and it doesn't look like any specific object, giving people a mysterious feeling.

Wu Li took the jade pendant and looked at the energy lamp carefully for a long time, but still couldn't understand its origin and purpose. She even bit it lightly with her teeth, but the jade pendant didn't react at all.

"Then I'll take it first, and let Sisi play with it when I'm sure it's fine." Wu Li said, and put the jade pendant into her pocket. She didn't want this unknown thing to bring any potential danger to Chen Si.

"Okay, then I'll turn off the lights." Chen Mo did not refuse. He understood Wu Li's concerns.

"Turn it off." As soon as Wu Li finished speaking, Chen Mo turned off the energy light.

In this slum, energy is scarce and expensive, and they must use it as sparingly as possible.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness, with only a faint glow from the moonlight outside the window filtering through the tattered curtains.

Chen Mo and Wu Li lay quietly on the bed. Although darkness shrouded them, their hearts were full of expectations and hopes for the future.

This mysterious jade pendant may become a turning point in their lives, bringing them unexpected surprises and changes.

But no matter what, they will cherish their current life, work hard to move forward, and find their own happiness and hope.

"Old Chen, think of a way to find some nutritious food for Sisi tomorrow. Nutrient solution won't work." Wu Li lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Finally, she couldn't help but tell Chen Mo about her worries.

Chen Mo sighed and replied helplessly: "I'll try my best! Now the civilian areas are also full of nutritional paste. At our level, the food we can get is limited."

"That's better than the nutrient solution we get at this level," Wu Li insisted. "Sisi is still so young. How can her body handle drinking that every day?"

"The only difference about the nutritional paste is that it tastes better. Besides, it's horribly expensive." Chen Mo tried to explain, but there was still a hint of helplessness in his tone.

When Wu Li heard this, she immediately sat up and said excitedly: "How can you bear to watch Sisi drink that every day? How old is she?"

Seeing Wu Li so excited, Chen Mo quickly helped her lie down and comforted her, "Don't be excited, I know what you mean. I will ask Brother Wang tomorrow to see if I can change some nutritional paste or other food. Sisi is our baby, we will definitely try our best to make her life better."

After hearing what Chen Mo said, Wu Li calmed down a little, but she still reminded him with some worry: "You must find a way. Sisi's health cannot be delayed."

Chen Mo nodded and promised: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

"It's all because of me that I'm useless. Sisi has to suffer with me." Wu Li's voice was tearful. She lay on the bed, tears constantly falling.

Chen Mo patted her back gently and comforted her, "Don't cry, be careful not to wake Sisi up."

In fact, Chen Si had woken up a long time ago. She lay quietly on the bed without saying a word, secretly listening to her parents' conversation to understand the current situation.

In the interstellar era, class divisions are serious. Civilians are prohibited from entering the rich areas, not to mention the poor. The poor are also prohibited from entering the civilian areas. Once they violate the rules, they will be directly taken to dig star mines or sent to marginal stars as cannon fodder. In short, the poor have no human rights here.

The food in the interstellar era is mainly nutrient solution, which is extracted from the corpses of star beasts. Different nutrient solutions have different tastes. The nutrient solution extracted from low-level star beasts tastes bad, while the high-level nutrient solution has special personnel responsible for improving the taste.

Chen Si sighed in his heart, no matter what era it is, it is inseparable from the constraints of money. Even in the interstellar era, people still worry about money.

She thought back to the family that gave birth to her. They were obviously quite wealthy, so why couldn't they leave her some money to live on? They were so stingy.

Chen Si decided that he would never go back to that family in the future, but what should he do now?

The nutrient solution was really hard to drink, it smelled like rotten eggs and it was a bit sore in the throat. She really didn't want to drink it, but in order to survive, she had to swallow it.

Moreover, even drinking water is limited here. Because of the serious radiation pollution, even water cannot be drunk casually. Only purified water can be drunk.

However, the purified water in the slums is of the lowest quality, and sometimes you can even see dirt in it.

Chen Si was thinking silently in his mind that he had to find a way to improve his life.

Every time, Chen Mo would filter the water, boil it, and then filter it again to ensure the purity of the water before he dared to feed it to Chen Si.

He was deeply afraid that the viruses hidden in the water would harm the children's young bodies.

"When will this day end..." Chen Mo's heart was filled with helplessness and confusion. Although he tried his best to cope with the various difficulties in life, the confusion and fatigue in his heart were difficult to dispel.

Finally, he fell into a deep sleep while thinking.

The next morning, Chen Mo got up early and began to prepare for the day. He put the nutritional supplements where Wu Li could see them at a glance, then locked the door and went to work.

As Wu Li's condition fluctuated, they had to take measures to prevent her from suddenly falling ill and running out of the slums.

Therefore, he always locks the door when he goes out to ensure the safety of his home.

However, Chen Mo's biggest worry was still Chen Si. He was afraid that Chen Si would go hungry when he was not at home.

This worry made him absent-minded at work and always thinking about his children at home.
