Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Soon, a group of men arrived, each carrying a piece of pumpkin. Less than an hour later, they returned to the same spot to gather.

To ensure the food and clothing of the entire village, these people went all out. Some of the older villagers who couldn't do heavy work spontaneously tied torches together, lit them, and stood on both sides of the road to provide light for them.

There were about 40 people, including those carrying torches. They cleared up all the areas where the carts couldn't be pushed in one night. After Tian Chunni returned, she first organized the women in the village to repair all the torn grain sacks. Since they didn't have kerosene lamps, they used torches instead.

When the men returned after tidying up the road, their food sacks had also been replenished. There were still nearly three hours until dawn, so the village chief told them to go and rest first, and that he would ring the gong after daybreak.

They were instructed to go to the warehouse to collect their farm tools, just like they would normally go to work, and then Xia Lijun would lead them into the mountains.

Just as the road was almost finished, Xia Jixuan carried the old man down the mountain. If the old man hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on waiting there for the road workers to finish, they would have already gone down the mountain.

Actually, there's really no problem leaving this stuff here; otherwise, wild sweet potatoes wouldn't be growing here. There's nothing to worry about. But the old man just can't rest easy until he has the grain in his own hands.

Seeing the fire put his mind at ease, and he asked Xia Jixuan to take him down the mountain. Xia Jixuan had only been home for two or three hours when he heard the sound of gongs, so he went out with them.

He had to go into the mountains to dig for grain, so the renovations to his courtyard were suspended today. The village chief said that at least two people from each household had to participate, or their grain allowance would be deducted.

Other things were fine, but withholding grain was absolutely unacceptable. Grain was so precious and hard to come by that; there was no reason for it to be withheld. So, families with more able-bodied workers sent out almost all of them.

Xia Jixuan lives alone; his wife is currently at home taking care of their daughter, who has been in a daze since her injury. Xia Jixuan doesn't let his wife earn those work points, fearing that they won't be able to find her if anything happens to their daughter.

Anyway, he's still at home. The village chief said he was the one who discovered these things and led the people in, so he'll give his wife 200 work points. That's quite a lot; 10 work points a day would take almost seven months.

However, he had done a great service by saving the lives of the entire village, and everyone felt that they were actually getting a good deal by receiving 200 work points.

When all the grain brought back from the mountain was laid out on the village's drying ground, everyone realized that the mountain had actually hidden so many good things. It was completely different from what they had originally thought; if all that food were distributed, it would be enough to last until spring.

I just don't know if God will give us more snow this year, or if the water will flow underground when the ice melts in the spring to keep the planted areas moist.

Xia Yutang was feeling a bit drowsy that day because of the space incident. Even though she heard it was very lively outside, she didn't think about going out.

The aftereffects of hitting her head started appearing; her whole head was dizzy, and her vision would go black as soon as she sat up straight. These symptoms forced her to stay in bed. Just as she was wondering how long these symptoms would last, her mother somehow managed to get some baby formula.

When the milk powder was served, it smelled very fragrant. Because her mother was afraid that the smell would be too strong and be overpowered by the Xia family, she urged her to drink it as soon as it was served.

Because she was so dizzy, she only drank this one bowl of milk at noon. After lying down, she didn't get up all afternoon. If it weren't for her regular breathing and normal body temperature, her mother would probably have taken her to the barefoot doctor again.

She slept soundly all afternoon without dreaming, feeling nothing at all. Even when her two brothers nudged her, she remained completely unaware. She was awakened by the aroma of food in the evening. After lying in bed all afternoon, she felt weak all over, but her dizziness had subsided, a fact she found somewhat acceptable.

When Liu Fangmei saw her daughter wake up, she quickly came over and touched her head. She felt that her body temperature was not too high, and then she was relieved.

She finally woke up. She hadn't dared leave the room all afternoon, just kept watch, afraid something might happen to her that she didn't know about…

"Daughter, are you feeling unwell? Here, have some water first. Your mother just cooled it down."

After drinking most of a bowl of water, my body felt lighter, and the fatigue I had just felt slowly disappeared. Looking at the bowl still being held by my mother, I knew from the clear water inside that it definitely wasn't water fetched from the village.

The family's water tank was empty. The weather was too hot, and they couldn't bear to use the water they carried, so it just kept evaporating. Nowadays, a well can only produce two buckets of water a day at most, and some wells can't even produce two ladles a day.

If this continues, people will not starve to death, but die of thirst.

The water coming out of the village wells is now a bit murky. Even the cleanest wells still have yellow mud in them and aren't as clear and transparent as they used to be.

Suddenly, I remembered that magic touch, and looking at how my two older brothers are now doing everything so quietly, I knew that this water must have some kind of magical effect. Before, my two older brothers were always clumsy and awkward when doing anything, but now they are so refined. Look at how they hold the plate, it's like they're afraid to use any force.

Xia Yutang, who was washing her hands at the gate of the yard after being taken to the toilet by her mother, suddenly felt as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake. When she looked up, she found that it was her mother standing under the eaves of her own yard, staring fiercely at the mother and daughter.

Then came all sorts of nasty curses, like "poor, worthless trash," "why didn't you just die? What a waste of money to save an idiot..."

She used every nasty insult imaginable. Although my life hadn't been very happy before, I'd never been insulted like this before, and I was completely stunned. I finally witnessed firsthand what an old woman in the village could do when she cursed.

Seeing Old Lady Xia's distorted features and ferocious expression, Xia Yutang suddenly flinched. After Liu Fangmei carried her daughter back into the house, she brought her a basin of water, washed her feet, and then took the water out.

Just as Xia Yutang was wondering what her mother was doing, she heard a splash as water was thrown out, followed by Old Mrs. Xia's curses and the grumbling of the two aunts from the first and second branches of the Xia family.

The second brother, who had just gone out with his mother, ran in from outside with a smile, only to see the eldest brother staring at him expectantly.

"Tangtang, Mom went to get revenge for you. I used the water you just used to wash your feet and splashed it directly under their eaves. It almost spilled all the wild vegetable soup on the table..."
