Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

While Xia Jixuan was looking at documents in his office, he glanced at his personal space and found his daughter bustling around like a little worker.

She was happily feeding the pigs with sweet potato husks and the sheep with weeds. Xia Jixuan didn't disturb her, but instead used his mind to wrap a one-yuan red envelope and placed it on the table, noting on it that it was for his wages as a laborer.

Xia Jixuan suddenly felt like laughing. The way his little girl dragged her basket was so cute.

For some reason, after drinking the well water, everyone in the family except the youngest daughter became stronger, while the youngest daughter remained thin, weak, and powerless.

And he's really weak; he can't lift anything. Look how heavy that basket of grass must be; she has to drag it.

He thought it was a good deal to hire this helper for one yuan. He also knew that the little girl was competing with her two brothers to see who could save more money. Later, the wives of the villagers prepared golden peanuts for them, and it turned into a competition to see who could save the most gold.

In order to help the little girl beat her two older brothers, he secretly made her a gold bracelet weighing about 20 grams and a longevity lock weighing about 25 grams.

He wanted to make it bigger, but the girl was too young, and a bigger one wouldn't be suitable.

Seeing the little girl working hard over there, Xia Jixuan quickly snapped out of his reverie; he still had many things to deal with.

Since returning here, he has often gone back to the Jade Space, which has caused him to miss a lot of things. Now, he usually doesn't go back except for his rest time. So when he does go back, he just sits there in a daze.

This was something he had never done before, so he was afraid someone would notice something was wrong. He usually didn't act like this outside, but even when he went back to his dorm, people would often come looking for him, so he couldn't help it.

When he goes home to rest at night, his family can't sleep because of him. Occasionally, he does some chores, and his wife is always there to help. Over time, he doesn't want to disturb his wife and children when they're resting.

Of course, I'll occasionally come back to bother my wife when I miss her...

When he was about to eat, he checked his room and found that his assistant had already received his wages and was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Judging from the barely suppressed smile on her face, you could tell the little girl was quite satisfied with the one yuan she earned today.

Xia Yutang was indeed quite satisfied. She was just bored and happened to notice some livestock hadn't been fed. She hadn't expected to be paid a dollar for doing a little work, which made her happy.

Xia Yutang didn't pay much attention to her birthday, so when she was kicked out on that day and went up the mountain with the other children to dig for wild vegetables and gather firewood, she was completely bewildered.

However, she didn't think too much about it. She went up the mountain with Aunt Miao's sister Chunying and sister Chunxing, along with a group of about ten children.

Carrying her little basket on her back, she walked along listening to the children chattering about the latest gossip in the village.

When she heard Song Fubao mentioned, her ears perked up. He had been staying at home recently, so he didn't know how Song Fubao, the female lead, was doing.

Xia Yutang squeezed among the children and asked with a curious look, "What's wrong with Song Fubao?"

"Tangtang, you don't know, the day before yesterday, when Song Fubao's grandma was going to visit relatives, she saw a skinny pheasant on the road. So she didn't go to the relatives' house. When she came back, she happened to run into Song Fubao's second uncle with his second aunt. The father-in-law was planning to come back to move grain."

"Yes, yes, it just so happens that Song Fubao's grandmother came back. You have no idea how lively it was in Old Song's courtyard yesterday."

"Grandma Song Fubao hid the pheasant in the pickled cabbage jar outside the house, then grabbed the broom from the front door and went straight up to beat it..."

Xia Yutang watched the children talking so enthusiastically and sat down to listen with great interest. Every now and then, she would ask a question or two, which made the conversation even more lively.

A group of girls were gossiping, while a few boys walked away with their baskets, looking disgusted. Those boys were loyal; they knew the girls were gossiping about wild vegetables.

They gathered extra firewood, and they didn't go down the mountain at noon because spring plowing was over. Families with grain would eat two meals when they had no grain, which was just the meal they ate while going out to work.

The crops have already been planted, and there's work to do every day from now on—watering, weeding, hoeing, loosening the soil, thinning seedlings, and a whole host of other tasks.

With food in hand, the village gradually became lively again, and this was her first time going out since the beginning of spring. She followed her friends, gathering firewood and digging for wild vegetables. None of her friends had the habit of eating lunch, so she forgot about lunch as well.

However, she drank all the water she brought, and her friends took good care of the three or four younger children.

They would share some of the wild vegetables they dug up and the firewood they gathered. When Xia Yutang was about to descend the mountain, he pulled out a large handful of maltose from his pocket.

The maltose she bought from the supply and marketing cooperative was in larger pieces, while the maltose she bought from them was cut by her mother; one large piece could be cut into four smaller pieces.

The children were stunned when they saw her take out a handful of candy, and Xia Chunxing quickly helped her push her hand back into her pocket.

"Tangtang, keep your candy for yourself..." Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Chunxing's words. These days, who would be so generous as to share their candy?

"My mother gave them to me, one piece for each of us. Thank you, brother. Sister, you took me out to play today." Xia Yutang took out the candy again, and when everyone heard that it was from Aunt Liu, they didn't refuse.

Of course, there was no scrambling. Instead, Chunxing, the oldest child there, gave one candy to each child according to their number. The children who received the candy all came to thank Xia Yutang.

Xia Chunxing escorted Xia Yutang directly to her doorstep, watched her go inside and close the door, and then took the other children home with peace of mind.

A child from a village. Everyone was always running and jumping up and down the mountains and down the rivers. Except for Xia Yutang, the other children didn't need to be sent to their doorsteps.

Xia Yutang listened very carefully to today's gossip, so she could tell her mother and two older brothers about it when she got home for dinner.

Xia Yutang wondered if her mother had heard the news while she was at work these days. She thought that her daughter should go out more often and follow the other children in the village. That way, she could learn more gossip.

There are so few entertainment options available these days; she'd be incredibly bored if she didn't listen to gossip.

There wasn't much work to do in the space; the TV only showed recorded movies and TV series, and some tutorials. She couldn't put any of the skills taught into practice right now, so it was better not to watch them.
