Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

"Is her family very poor? Otherwise, why would her parents exchange her for food?"

"Yes, yes. Food is not as important as my own daughter. My sister is more important than me and my brother at home."

"Well, my dad beats me and my brother, but not my sister."

"Zhongxin, do your sister's biological parents really not want her anymore?"

……

A group of little kids kept chattering and asking questions.

Qian Zhongxin said, "Well, my sister's biological parents are very bad. In their eyes, my sister is not as important as a small bag of food. So, sister, you should live steadily in your aunt's house from now on, and never think about your biological parents again."

Qian Zhongren: "Yes, sister, your biological parents don't value you, but we do. You are our most important sister. Even if someone gives me a hundred bags of food, I won't trade it for anything."

Qian Zhongde: "Sister, from now on you should treat my aunt and uncle as your biological parents. My aunt and uncle are very nice people, and they will definitely treat you very well."

"Sister, if you have any problems in the future, come to me and I will help you."

"Sister, we will love you very much too. Whatever you want to eat, I will get it for you. The raspberries on this mountain are ripe. I know a place with a lot of raspberries. I will take you to pick them later."

The three brothers surrounded Yuanchun and chattered non-stop.

Yuanchun regretted going up the mountain with a bunch of little kids.

However, when eating the sour and sweet raspberries, Yuanchun felt that being a little kid also has its advantages.

In one afternoon, Yuanchun ate and played, and also picked two baskets of pig grass, earning two work points. After returning home, her adoptive parents praised her a lot.

At night, while her foster mother was cooking, Yuanchun secretly put two kilograms of brown rice and two rejuvenation pills into the pot, giving them to Qian and Ge's families to replenish their bodies.

Tonight, there are a variety of dishes, including chicken soup, spicy fried rabbit meat, fried frog with peppers, fried beans, fried eggplant, and fish and shrimp with tofu. The tofu was bought from the tofu shop of the village production team.

Gejia Village is close to Hangzhou City. Originally, there were many industries in the village, including a tofu shop, a pig farm, a chicken farm, and large tracts of vegetable fields. However, floods in the past two years have submerged all the vegetables.

Due to the harvest shortage, the tofu shop can’t get enough soybeans and is about to close.

The chicken farm ran out of food and vegetable leaves to feed the chickens, so all the chickens were sold.

There is only one pig farm left, with dozens of pigs left in it, and they are fed by the children in the village who collect grass for the pigs every day.

Before dinner, Qian Xiaoying went out carrying a small basket.

Not long after, she came back with a smile and took out a bowl of fried peanuts from the small basket. "Auntie is so polite. She insisted on giving me a bowl of peanuts in return."

"Haha, that's perfect. Give it to us to eat with our wine."

Old Man Qian likes peanuts best when eating with wine.

Mrs. Qian glared at him, "You old man, drink less. Don't get drunk and embarrass yourself in front of my good granddaughter."

Old Man Qian said, "You old woman, I have a good drinking habit and I won't get drunk."

"Humph, who would keep talking about the past when they are drunk? I have heard your glorious deeds eight hundred times."

"Okay, okay, I'll just have a drink."

I wanted to drink more, but I didn’t.

In the past two years, you need a wine ticket to buy wine. Fortunately, he saved some extra wine back then, but he still has to drink it sparingly, otherwise it will be difficult to drink it again after it is all gone.

The father-in-law and son-in-law drank until around nine o'clock before leaving.

Yuanchun waited silently until half past ten when her adoptive parents went to bed. She immediately gave them the order to sleep and then left Gejia Village quietly.
