After Ruan Zhao brought Qin Mu and Qin Ze into the house, he could no longer hold on and his body began to sway.

"mother!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Ze and Qin Mu quickly supported Ruan Zhao and helped her sit on the stool.

Seeing the two children were terrified, Ruan Zhao quickly comforted them. "Mom is fine. She'll be fine after a rest."

This body has been worn out due to years of hard work, and she needs to find a way to restore it quickly.

Qin Mu looked at Ruan Zhao's pale face, which was full of guilt.

"It's all my fault for being so stupid. If I had been more careful and not been seen by that bad woman, I could have brought the egg back for my mother to eat."

Only then did Ruan Zhao realize that Qin Mu wanted the egg for himself to eat.

Looking at Qin Mu's thin body, Ruan Zhao felt a little touched and asked directly.

"Xiao Mu, why did Ge Erdan give you eggs?"

Qin Mu felt guilty for a moment and explained with his head down.

"I wanted to go fishing in the pond behind his yard, but he found me. I thought he would scold me, but he didn't, and he even gave me an egg. I didn't expect Xu Chunhua to find out, and then she wanted to beat me..."

"You're so stupid! Ge Erdan must have done it on purpose." Before Ruan Zhao could say anything, Qin Ze scolded him first.

"If he really wanted to give it to you, why would Xu Chunhua come over right after he gave you the egg?"

Ruan Zhao was a little surprised at Qin Ze's cleverness. "Xiao Ze is right, Xiao Mu, if Ge Erdan gives you something again in the future, don't take it."

Qin Mu also realized that Ge Erdan had bad intentions at this time, "Okay, I understand, mother. I'll remember it."

Ruan Zhao fully understands the two children's precocity.

The original owner, Ruan Zhaodi, was an orphan. She was bought by the Qin family at the age of five and became Qin Zongwu's child bride.

She married Qin Zongwu at the age of seventeen, but unfortunately, Qin Zongwu left home to join the army the day after the wedding.

Less than two months later, news came that Qin Zongwu died on the battlefield.

Qin's father and mother were heartbroken, but fortunately they discovered that the original owner was pregnant, which comforted the two elders.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. When the original owner was five months pregnant, bandits attacked their town and all the people in the town were massacred.

Qin's father and mother were also killed by bandits, and the original owner was hidden in a dry well in their home by Qin's father and mother and escaped the disaster.

But with her home destroyed, how could she, a pregnant woman with a big belly, have an easy time?

The original owner knelt beside the bodies of Qin's father and mother and cried for a long time, and finally fainted.

When he woke up again, he found that he had been rescued.

The one who saved her was Su Jinsheng, a barefoot doctor in the town.

When the bandits robbed the hospital, Su Jinsheng happened to be out of town on a medical consultation trip.

When he returned home, he found that his house had been looted by bandits.

Fortunately, his wife and children had gone to visit relatives at her parents' home, so he escaped the disaster.

Su Jinsheng didn't dare stay in the town for long. After rescuing the original owner who was still breathing, he rushed to Yue's house to reunite with his wife and children.

From then on, the original owner followed Su Jinsheng's family and settled in his wife's family's Gejia Village.

Although the original owner survived, as a woman with no money and pregnant, her life was difficult.

Later, the original owner gave birth to twins Qin Ze and Qin Mu, and life became even more difficult.

The original owner almost treated herself like an animal, barely able to raise two children.

Her health was also severely damaged. After this year's autumn harvest, she could no longer hold on and died of overwork. She was only 26 years old when she died.

Ruan Zhao thought about the plot in the book and couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner.

Qin Zongwu was not dead at all, he was just injured by the artillery fire.

After Qin Zongwu recovered from his injury, he returned home after hearing that his family had been attacked by bandits.

Unfortunately, all he saw was the ruined and messy town and rows of hastily buried graves.

He thought the original owner was dead, so he found his parents and daughter-in-law's old clothes in his home, built a cenotaph for them, and then followed the army.

Then, he met the heroine, fell in love with her, and began a new story.

But all of this has nothing to do with the original owner and the two children.

Gurgle, the sound of protest from the stomach interrupted Ruan Zhao's thoughts.

Qin Mu and Qin Ze hadn't eaten anything since morning and were already starving.

Looking at the two skinny children and the dilapidated old house that was leaking air, Ruan Zhao couldn't help but sigh, the original owner had a really hard life!

"You must be hungry. Mom will get you something to eat."

Ruan Zhao stood up and walked towards the inner room. Qin Mu and Qin Ze hurried to help her.

Qin Ze's personality is more stable. "Mom, we are not hungry. You are not well yet. You should rest first."

Qin Mu was more lively and playful. "Yes, mother, we will go to the mountain to get some bird eggs later. You just rest at home first."

"Don't go picking the bird eggs. Mom will make some porridge and we can eat together."

While they were talking, Ruan Zhao had already come to the inner room.

The inner room was not big, and the white paint on the walls had long turned yellow. Apart from a cabinet on the kang, there was no other furniture.

This house was an old house given to her by the village. It had only two rooms. Usually, the three of them, mother and two children, lived in this room, and the room outside was used for cooking and eating.

Ruan Zhao took out a bag of rice from the wooden cabinet on the kang and walked towards the kitchen.

This bag of refined rice was specially reserved by the original owner to be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Ruan Zhao had the original owner's memories and found the bowl to wash the rice as if he was familiar with it.

Seeing her scoop up a large bowl of rice in one go, Qin Ze and Qin Mu felt so distressed.

Qin Ze hurried forward and said, "Mom, you're not well yet, so you can just eat refined rice, and my brother and I can just eat brown rice."

Qin Mu also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, mother, you eat it yourself, my brother and I will eat brown rice."

Ruan Zhao didn't stop moving his hands. "We've finished the brown rice at home. Let's eat this together."

The original owner was sick for several days and the rice jar at home was empty.

Otherwise, Qin Mu would not have gone to Ge Erdan's pond to catch fish.

Qin Mu still felt bad about the refined rice. "Then I'll go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables! My brother and I can just eat some wild vegetable porridge."

Ruan Zhao washed the rice and poured it into the pot, then pulled him over and rubbed his head.

"All the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up long ago. Listen to my mother, we'll eat this today.

You two are still growing. If you don’t eat enough, you won’t grow taller.”

When they heard that the president was not tall, Qin Mu and Qin Ze hesitated.

Ruan Zhao curled the corners of his lips and thought to himself that children are quite easy to coax.

"Okay, Xiaoze, go get some firewood, and Xiaomu, go get some pickles."

Qin Ze and Qin Mu saw that the rice was already in the pot, and thought about Ruan Zhao's health, so they finally agreed.

While the two children were busy, Ruan Zhao quietly took out three tonic pills from the storage ring and put them into the pot.

This storage ring is a treasure left by the founder of Xuanqing Sect. Its function is similar to the space in novels. Not only can it store things, but the things placed in it will not expire. The food will remain in the same state when you put it in, and it will remain in the same state when you take it out.

In order to facilitate travel, Ruan Zhao stored a large amount of supplies in his storage ring during the modern years.

There is everything you can eat, drink, wear, or use, as well as various medicinal herbs and scarce supplies, which is even more complete than a supermarket.

However, this storage ring is different from the space. The things inside will disappear once they are used and will not be automatically replenished.

But fortunately, Ruan Zhao had a lot of things saved, enough for the three of them to eat for ten or twenty years.
