Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 7 Dinner is Gone
Xia Jixuan is a soldier, and his household registration isn't here, so only his mother and her four children were transferred out of the household registration book. Because of the family division, Xia Jixuan originally thought of taking them to live with him at his military base, but his wife persuaded him against it.
They built these three rooms themselves, working from dawn till dusk. She didn't want them to be used by the Xia family. Besides, it was a time of famine, but in the village they could still grow some crops, dig for wild vegetables and forage for other mountain produce. Those with boats could even go to the sea to get seafood; no matter what, they wouldn't starve.
If they went to the military camp, they would be unfamiliar with the place and there would be many inconveniences. His family hadn't received any money, and even if they had saved some privately over the years, it wouldn't be enough to buy food in this situation.
Xia Jixuan carried his daughter and ran, and his wife and son didn't care about the things that had been dumped. They ran after him, and although they were covered in dirt, they were afraid that something had happened to their daughter (sister), so they didn't care about how disheveled they looked.
Only after they ran out did they find Tangtang safely in her father's arms. However, she was still somewhat dazed from the shock and hadn't quite recovered.
"What's wrong, Xuan-ge? You scared Tangtang." Liu Fangmei saw her daughter looking a little dazed and quickly picked her up. She gently patted her back and rubbed her face, hoping she would calm down quickly.
Xia Jixuan looked at his daughter and reached out to touch her face: "Tangtang, tell Daddy, what happened?"
Xia Yutang didn't know what to say. Her father was really quick. He threw away that golden finger directly, and now he didn't even know where he threw it. How could she find it?
Seeing her daughter's anxious face, Liu Fangmei also became anxious: "Brother Xuan, what happened in the room just now? Tangtang, wait a minute..."
Xia Yutang remembered that the stone had absorbed her father's blood, and wondered if it would come back after she threw it away. She reached out and grabbed her father's hand, then squeezed it gently.
The gesture of pinching represents grain. She remembers that her father taught her this gesture when they were picking up ears of wheat in the field.
"Grain? What does that stone have to do with grain?" Xia Jixuan, not quite understanding, promised her daughter to look for it, but she still felt that the stone was too strange.
Seeing their daughter point to her head again, the bewildered family started playing a charades game. Before they could even guess the third one, something magical happened. The stone had somehow appeared in Sugar Dad's hand, startling him so much he almost threw it away again.
Fortunately, Xia Yutang was quick enough to grab the stone, and Liu Fangmei was also startled by the sudden appearance of the stone.
Because there was no food and they were afraid of getting hungry even faster, they didn't care whether they had eaten dinner or not. Everyone else stopped coming out, so now only their family of five was left in this area.
Liu Fangmei looked left and right to make sure no one was around before pulling her child and husband home. The spilled wild vegetable soup at the door hadn't been cleaned up yet; it was their food for the day. No food had been distributed when the family divided the property, and she was now worried about where to get food for tomorrow.
After returning home, Liu Fangmei closed the door and pulled the person into the inner room.
Xia Yutang gestured for a long time, trying to get her father to think about asking for food. She was almost exhausted from gesturing before her father finally understood and told her to say that he wanted food.
Xia Jixuan had no choice but to comply with his daughter's wish and ask for 100 jin of freshly ground wheat flour. He didn't know what his daughter was thinking; this stone wasn't a wishing stone or anything, so why would it give anything? But no sooner had he finished speaking than two large cloth bags suddenly appeared on the kang (heated brick bed).
Xia Jixuan, the breadwinner of the family, reached out to touch it first, only to find his hand covered in white powder. Liu Fangmei smelled the substance on his hand and almost screamed in surprise.
"Fuqiang flour..."
Xia Jixuan stuck out his tongue and licked it, smacking his lips. The taste was indeed that of high-gluten flour. He recalled the 100 jin of wheat flour he had just mentioned. He looked at his daughter, who was smiling brightly, with a hint of horrification.
Xia Yutang pointed to his head, as if to show him where the space was. Perhaps something had suddenly enlightened his father, and he began to close his eyes and sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) to meditate.
The sudden appearance of the place startled him. The first thing he saw was a house, which was much better than the house they were living in now.
As a soldier, his first instinct was to check if there was any danger or other people around.
After confirming several times that no one was around, he began to observe the surroundings.
The house is surrounded by a large yard, and beyond that, fields. The spot where he just stood was next to the well in the yard.
There is a well, tables and chairs, a small wooden pavilion, and some climbing plants in the courtyard, which look like roses.
There are also large fields outside, divided into plots, each about 5 mu (approximately 0.3 hectares) in size, and each plot is planted with a different thing.
Rice, wheat, sorghum, corn, green vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, green beans, and quite a few other things he didn't recognize.
There were fruit trees on the hillside. Of those fruit trees, he only recognized bananas, apples, pears, persimmons, and dates.
There was a livestock shed behind the house, but there were no animals inside. Turning around, he saw a place marked "storehouse." Opening the storehouse door, he found many bags, which were the same as the two bags of high-gluten flour that had just appeared on his kang (heated brick bed).
He reached out and rummaged through the bags; the first few were filled with high-quality enriched flour. Several bags behind were filled with rice, the pure white rice he had never seen before at the grocery store.
Even their specially supplied rice doesn't come in this quality; it's so white and has such a rich rice aroma.
Back in the house in the yard, the first thing that surprised him when he opened the door was how clean and tidy it was. There was a cream-colored cabinet with two pairs of slippers underneath. Looking at the slippers and then at his own feet, he quickly took off his shoes, put on the slippers, and went inside.
The living room was spacious, even larger than their current large room. The white fabric sofa looked so luxurious that he didn't dare touch it.
Seeing the sofa, he guessed this was the living room. Opposite the sofa was a large black square frame. He had never seen a television before, so he didn't know it was a TV. It looked so thin; if it weren't so dark and reflective, he might have thought it was a piece of wood. Seeing the light switch on the wall, he reached out and touched the one labeled "Light."
With a gentle touch, the beautiful crystal chandelier above his head lit up. Xia Jixuan quickly touched it again, and the chandelier not only didn't turn off, but also emitted light around it.
