Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction

Xia Yutang never expected that she would end up with blisters on her hands from twisting straw rope. Looking at the blisters on both of her little hands, she felt like crying.

Her hands were small and delicate, and it really hurt. Her two older brothers also noticed her distressed expression. They quickly discovered the blisters on her little hands, drew some water from the well, and let her soak them for a while.

"Little sister, why are you so silly? You just won't do it because it hurts. Look, you've squeezed your hands until they're blistered. You sit here and soak your hands. Your second brother and I will do the work here." Xia Qingshu felt heartbroken looking at his sister's red hands.

He knew his sister's hands were still small and delicate, but he didn't expect that her hands would get blisters from just a few twists.

"Brother, I'll go get a needle. These blisters need to be popped with a needle, otherwise the fluid inside won't come out and they won't heal." This is how his mother treated the blisters on his feet when he went up the mountain before.

"Okay, go get it then. It's in the box on top of Grandma's sewing machine." All the needles and thread in the house are there.

Xia Yutang felt that her hands were much better. The pain was only for a short while, and the burning sensation started to subside slowly after a few seconds of soaking in the water.

Now it just looks like my hand is a little red, but it doesn't hurt that much anymore.

After Xia Qing helped his sister pop the blisters on her hands, he squeezed out the water and soaked her in water for two minutes. After cleaning her up, he carried her back to the house to sleep.

"Little sister, you should rest. We can finish the rest of the work ourselves; there's not much left. Are you hungry? If you are, I'll go to the kitchen and get half a steamed bun to tide you over." After working for so long, he was worried that his sister might be hungry, so he thought he would ask her if she wanted something to eat before taking her home to sleep.

"No need, I just had milk tea, my stomach is still full. Big brother, I'm fine, I can sleep by myself, you go help second brother with the chores." His dad really does give so much work to his two older brothers…

"Then you go to sleep, I'll cover you with the blanket..." Xia Qingshu originally wanted to say that his sister should sleep first and then he would cover her with the blanket, but when he saw his own colorful hands, he couldn't bear to look at them.

He didn't dare touch the clean-looking quilt with his hands, and after thinking about it, he decided to let his sister use it herself.

"I'll do it myself." Xia Yutang didn't say anything to him, but simply draped a small blanket over herself and closed her eyes to try to fall asleep.

Hearing her older brother close the door, she lay in bed for a while longer. When she realized her brother wasn't opening the door again, she stuffed her pillow under the covers, turned off the bedside lamp, and disappeared back into her spatial dimension.

The chicks in her storage space have grown up, and she collects a batch of eggs every day. Luckily, her warehouse is also a restricted space, otherwise she doesn't know how many eggs would have gone rotten.

After tidying up all the crops in the space and putting them into the warehouse, she planted what needed to be planted and watered what needed to be watered. She didn't know how long she had been there, but when she got sleepy, her first thought was to go back to the master bedroom of the couple's space and onto that bed.

Kids always need more sleep. She'd only been working for a short while, and she was already too sleepy to stay awake. Luckily, she was quick-witted; just when she was about to collapse from exhaustion, she went straight back to her big bed in the jade space. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if her mother hadn't found her when she returned.

What she didn't know was that her mother, upon learning that she was asleep in her room, went straight to the fields to help her two sons without even entering the house.

There was just too much work to do this time; it would take the two sons two days to finish it all. So the family of four worked day and night for a full day and night to prepare the approximate amount.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. You guys go get something to eat and rest. I have a party here, so I can't sneak over anytime soon. Honey, based on the time, you can go back to sleep for about 5 hours." Xia Jixuan looked at his wife's tired face and lovingly pushed her to go and rest.

Looking at the things prepared on the open ground, the Xia brothers stared wide-eyed in disbelief. They really hadn't expected so much to be prepared in just one night. They had been so focused on working for a whole day and night that they hadn't even thought about how much work they had actually done.

When they got tired, they would sit down to rest, eat something to tide them over, and then continue working. They didn't check how long they had been sitting.

All I know is that after stopping now, I'm so tired I feel like I'm about to collapse.

Liu Fangmei quickly poured a glass of water for each of her two sons. After they finished drinking, she told them to go to the kitchen to eat, and then she cleaned up the mess herself.

It's really just about piling up the vegetable leaves. She only needs to clear enough space for walking; the rest of the space can be handled by herself, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

When she arrived at the threshing ground to see what supplies had been prepared, she suddenly remembered that she also needed to prepare some brown sugar and white sugar.

You can also prepare some maltose, because even in difficult times, there are still babies born unexpectedly. It's been over a year since we've been able to buy brown or white sugar from the supply and marketing cooperative.

They can tolerate not having white sugar, but they are very distressed without brown sugar, since it is a necessity, needed for childbirth and postpartum recovery.

They had searched the black market before, but they couldn't find any grain, let alone brown or white sugar.

As things have evolved, whether it's the black market or supply and marketing cooperatives, anything edible has disappeared.

She knew there was sugar in the warehouse, but she didn't know how much, so she had to go check the warehouse first before making any other decisions.

Once inside the warehouse, we found the place where the sugar was stored. Since the sugar couldn't be placed directly on the ground, the sacks were all placed on the second shelf or higher.

The candies here are plentiful, including white sugar, brown sugar, sugar bricks, milk candy, maltose, and fruit candy. The white sugar comes in fine, coarse, and yellow varieties, making Liu Fang's eyes glaze over.

I quickly grabbed some pre-cut paper from the shelf next to me, along with 20 packets of half-pound brown sugar. The white sugar came in both half-pound and full-pound portions.

The maltose wasn't wrapped up; instead, a basket was filled with it. The plan was to distribute some to the village children tomorrow, even just one piece per child, which might bring them joy this New Year.

I've probably never had a Chinese New Year as quiet as this one in my entire life. Every household is short of supplies. And the supply and marketing cooperatives have been out of business for a long time now, so even if they wanted to buy things, there's nowhere to go.

Another reason is that due to natural disasters, they have no work to do. No work means no job points, and no job points means they will go hungry.

These days, the New Year's wish of those middle-aged and elderly women is probably to ask God to quickly give them a meal, otherwise they will really starve to death.
