Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

She learned all of this online after acquiring the land; she was completely clueless about farming before. Since getting the yard, she's devoted all her free time to learning. It's a field she'd never explored before, so whenever she encounters a problem, she seeks help online.

The internet is so advanced these days; every time she posts a question, someone answers it within half an hour. It's so convenient and fast.

She had only harvested half of her vegetables when she felt someone shaking her—this time, it was a real shaking. When she opened her eyes, she saw it was her two older brothers.

"Little sister, we're going to look at the new house, do you want to come with us?" The two of them had been so excited since last night when they heard about buying a new house that they couldn't sleep a wink. So they got up early this morning to start tidying up the house and were thinking about whether they should go and collect some firewood.

Then they heard their father say that he wanted to go look at houses. They even forgot about breakfast and started clamoring to go. But they were worried about leaving their sister home alone, so they decided to wake her up.

When Xia Yutang woke up, she looked at the sky outside and it was still gray, with a hint of light and a hint of darkness.

It's so difficult to tell the time without a watch; you can't possibly guess accurately like this, and she doesn't know how to read the sky.

Just as he got up, his mother came in from outside with a basin of water for washing her face. Looking at her still sleepy daughter, Liu Fangmei reached out and pinched her two sons' ears: "Didn't I tell you to go later? Your sister was still unconscious yesterday, couldn't you let her rest a bit today? Why did you wake her up so early in the morning?"

The two little ones knew they had done something wrong, but their little sister was already awake. They didn't have the ability to coax her back to sleep.

"Alright, alright, go clean up our yard first, tidy up your sister first, we'll leave in a bit, we're going to have breakfast over there." The Xia family has a bunch of noses, if they smell something, they'll definitely make a fuss.

The two boys worked together seamlessly; one sprinkled water while the other took a large broom and began sweeping the floor.

Although water had been sprinkled, dust still filled the air, covering the faces of the eldest son, second son, and Old Lady Xia. The old woman, furious, stood in the yard cursing, "You troublesome brat! Why aren't you sleeping and wasting food? Look at the mess you've made of the three of us! How much water will it take to wash this clean? Is water so easy to get these days? You little rascal, stop right there..."

Old Mrs. Xia grew angrier and angrier, grabbing a broom handle and chasing after the two boys, who vanished in an instant. Unable to see the two little rascals scaring her, she continued banging and making veiled insults in the yard.

Liu Fangmei knew what had just happened in the yard, but she simply wouldn't go out. Her two little rascals were clever enough not to suffer any loss. She pretended not to hear the old woman cursing in the yard; after all, they had already separated, and living far apart would be better than seeing each other.

Liu Fangmei wiped the little girl's face, changed her into a set of clothes with fewer patches, took a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped the jar, and put it in the little girl's mouth: "Have something to eat first, we'll eat breakfast when I go out and find a secluded place. So no one at home will get conjunctivitis. Be a good girl, Tangtang, you'll eat your breakfast later..."

Liu Fangmei pretended to throw the little girl's dirty clothes into the water used for washing her face, and then used that water to clean the clothes. The river in the village has now dried up, and there are one or two relatively deep wells with a little water slowly seeping out, but that is far from enough to provide daily water for so many people in the village.

People don't even have water to drink now, let alone deliver crops or wash clothes.

At the beginning of this year, someone found a mountain spring on the mountain behind the village. The water flow was large enough for the families in the village to drink and use.

But that wasn't enough to irrigate the fields, so they had to reduce the amount of water used by these people. Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, they had no choice but to compromise in order to fill their stomachs. After all, without water, the crops wouldn't survive, and if they didn't survive, they would have no food.

The drought worsened, and the mountain spring water became increasingly scarce. Eventually, each family could only carry one bucket a day, using the rest to irrigate the fields. However, despite the water, the harvest remained unsatisfactory.

By the time the four of them finished getting ready and went out, Tang's father was already planning how to renovate the house. The official seal had been affixed, and he had delivered some cornmeal to the old village chief's house.

Grain is very precious now, so sending grain is the highest form of gift. The official seal was quickly issued, and the permits for logging and brick kilns were also approved.

The old village chief said there was no guarantee there would be any bricks, and he should be prepared. Only one side of the outer wall had collapsed; they could collect some stones from the riverbank to repair it, which wouldn't cost any money.

Two teenagers, with some effort, could collect enough in a day. There are wheelbarrows and carts at the brigade headquarters; they can borrow them first.

After the village chief left, only the five members of their family remained in the courtyard. Liu Fangmei quickly used the water she had brought to tidy up a space, set up a small table and a few stools, and then served them food.

This morning, we had plain rice porridge, just like last night. Today, we added some scrambled eggs as a side dish. It's a little bit of oil and fat, which will help the kids gradually get used to eating things with some oil. After a few days, they can eat meat.

There was so much meat in the warehouse, all kinds of meat. Just looking at it without being able to eat it made Liu Fangmei feel a little anxious, so she wanted to slowly take care of her family's digestive system.

Her request wasn't high: a few days of recuperation, followed by one or two slices of meat for each child each day. It wasn't that she didn't want to give more, but rather that she couldn't give more now. When everyone else is starving, if you're the only one eating greasy food all day, the changes in your body will be very noticeable, and she didn't want to make her whole family the target of such behavior.

After finishing their meal, the two boys, now grown up, grabbed two baskets and headed out. They had heard what the old village chief had said; now that they had eaten their fill, it was time to do some hard work.

Their current house is larger than their old one. They used to have two thatched huts, which were converted into four small rooms. Now they have four large rooms and two small rooms. Each large room is about 30 square meters and has a large kang (heated brick bed) inside.

It must have been cleaned when they moved out; there was only some dust on the kang (heated brick bed), and it was covered with straw. All they need to do is remove the straw, tidy it up, and clean it thoroughly. The living room is larger; this family probably used to cook in this room during the winter. There's a chimney here; they can have a smaller stove built here later.

The yard is quite large; they used to grow things there, and the vegetable ridges are still there. There's a dry toilet in the backyard, covered only by a wooden plank, which looks rather frightening.
