Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

After taking stock of all the supplies in the space, Xia Yutang felt that the most lacking item was seafood. She loved eating seafood, but there wasn't much in the refrigerator, only the twenty-odd small lobsters her uncle had brought.

There was a bag of pre-processed abalone, about 20 pieces. There were also some prawns, which she had prepared herself, peeling and cleaning the shrimp meat.

The rest were whole bags of chicken legs, lamb, and beef. There was also a two-pound bag of ground beef and a two-pound bag of ground pork, which my uncle planned to use to make dumplings. However, before he could even prepare the dumpling wrappers, his staff called to say that they had encountered a small problem, so he had no choice but to go to work.

Their village isn't far from the sea, and I wonder if I can find some time to have my mother take them to get some seafood.

Just as she was thinking about when to stir-fry shrimp, she was woken up by a nudge: "Tangtang, wake up. It's almost time to eat. Get up and clear your head, and wait for your brother."

When Xia Yutang woke up, she smelled a very fragrant fish soup. Because of her short legs, she still needed help getting off the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Come on, let Mommy put some clothes on you." Xia Yutang obediently stretched out his hand. He didn't know if he was cold or not. Anyway, he was just a three-year-old child, and being obedient was the key.

Stepping out of the main room, I realized how cold it was outside; the wind was strong, and the temperature was probably below 10 degrees Celsius. The water for washing hands was boiled in the kitchen while cooking—in a large earthenware pot. Whenever we cooked rice or heated the kang (a traditional heated bed), the water in the pot would be boiled along with the rice.

Just as she was washing her face, her two older brothers returned, each carrying a large bundle of firewood. Seeing that they were covered in dust and dirt, Xia Yutang quickly invited them to come and wash their faces.

Tang's mother quickly reached out and took the firewood from the two of them before throwing it on the ground. While brushing off the dust, she complained, "Why can't you two take it easy? What if you don't grow tall because of the firewood? You don't have to go to school now, and you can collect firewood every day. There's no need to rush."

"Mom, don't worry, we're not in a hurry. These are very light for us, it's just that carrying too much will block our view, so..." Xia Qingshu grinned as he listened to his mother's nagging.

This weight was nothing to them; their mother's nagging was out of concern for them, worried that they might break it.

The two of them gathered far more firewood this afternoon, but there was so much that it would block their view if they piled it up, so they had to find a cave on the mountain to hide some of it inside.

The place the two brothers found was quite secluded, with some dried ivy growing outside. No one would be going there anytime soon, so they felt safe leaving the firewood there.

"You two keep an eye on yourselves, don't accidentally weigh yourselves down. Okay, hurry up and wash your faces and eat first. I made fish soup tonight." Looking at her two silly sons, Liu Fangmei didn't know what to say. She knew they were strong, but seeing them carrying so much firewood on their backs also made her heart ache.

The two children were startled when they heard that they wouldn't grow tall. Lingling promised to take less, and that they could just take it in several trips.

After washing their faces, the siblings played in the yard for a while. When they arrived at the kitchen, the food was already on the table.

The kitchen was quite spacious and warm, so they ate their meals there after moving in.

To treat her two sons, Liu Fang steamed another pot of braised pork before returning to the kitchen. Making it fresh wouldn't have time, and the smell would be too strong. With this kind of tin can, you only need to open a small opening and put it in to steam; the smell won't spread everywhere. Once it's steamed, you can just open the lid and eat it directly without putting it on a plate.

The kitchen door is always closed, partly to prevent the heat from escaping and partly to prevent the aroma from escaping.

"Oh, it smells so good, brother, I can smell meat..." Xia Qingyan rarely acted so carelessly. Braised pork, he hadn't smelled that aroma for two or three years. Of course, he hadn't smelled it, nor had he ever eaten it.

The braised pork in the Xia family's house was something that the third branch of the family could never touch. Occasionally, during holidays, they could only drink the broth, without even a piece of minced meat.

If their mother hadn't secretly taken them to a state-run restaurant once, they really wouldn't know what braised pork tastes like.

Although he only ate it once, he still remembers the taste of braised pork.

"Second brother, keep your voice down. Even though we don't have many neighbors, your voice is still too loud." Xia Qingshu quickly reached out and covered his younger brother's mouth. He was just shouting incoherently. What if someone heard him?

Xia Yutang covered her mouth and chuckled as she saw the two people hugging each other.

"Stop playing around and come eat."

"Mother's here..." As the two brothers were about to leave, they didn't forget to each carry their sister on one side.

Xia Yutang ate white rice porridge, accompanied by braised pork and simple boiled fish in soy sauce.

She noticed that most of these things were taken from her spatial storage, since her family had no food at all when they moved.

Could there be fish in the space? The fish she caught today were all very large, not at all like the boiled fish in soy sauce that was now in front of her.

"Mom, where did you get these yellowtail fish?" The two brothers' eyes lit up when they saw the fish, but they weren't thinking about eating it; they were thinking about going to the beach.

“Your fifth grandmother brought these over. Her family is from that village by the sea. They caught these secretly. She brought two over, saying they were for the three of you.” Liu Fangmei got along well with the old lady. The old lady had sprained her ankle at the foot of the mountain before, and Liu Fangmei carried her back.

After that, whenever the old lady had something good, she would think of them.

"Mom, we don't need any supplements. Give it to my little sister. This fish is nutritious." This is sea fish, and the older generation says that sea fish is very nutritious and suitable for children and the elderly.

"Alright, alright, I know you two are good brothers, hurry up and eat..."

Xia Yutang looked at her mother carefully picking out fish bones for her, and her eyes welled up with tears. This was a treatment she had never received before before she came to her uncle's house.

Her biological parents knew she was a girl, but they ignored her and only fed her when they remembered to.

She was able to grow up to be 12 years old because kind uncles, aunts, grandparents and other relatives would occasionally give her food. She didn't go to school because she was always looking for food outside. The neighborhood management office saw that her situation was not good, so they went to her home and sent her to school at her request.

In the 90s, many people didn't go to school, and even when the neighborhood committee came to their door, the couple refused to send her. At that time, her grandmother was still alive. She went to their house, gave each of them a big shovel, and scolded them severely. Only then did she start school when she was 8 years old.
