Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 89 Chinese New Year 7
After covering her two sons with blankets, she left. She was mainly worried they might be hungry, so she made two cups of milk and left them there.
Back in her room, after a quick shower, she was so exhausted she collapsed onto the bed, not wanting to move. Those actions she had just taken were truly her last act of defiance as a mother.
She hadn't rested for four days and four nights; without the spring water in the space, she might have died suddenly. The thought alone was terrifying; she absolutely couldn't take on such a huge problem for herself again.
Honestly, if anything happened to her two sons and daughter, she would feel terribly guilty and ashamed.
And so, the family of four slept inside the space for three days and three nights, which is about 28 hours outside.
Only Xia Yutang got up during that time, mainly because she was too hungry and had slept well beforehand, unlike her mother and brother who persisted for so many days without rest.
After eating, she went to check on her two older brothers and found that they were sleeping soundly without moving. Afraid that her brothers were hungry, she even put a straw in their mouths and put the milk that her mother had prepared into their mouths so that they could drink it.
Whether it was because they were hungry or it was a habitual reaction, their mouths started moving as soon as the straws were put in.
After drinking most of the glass, Xiaotangtang pulled the straw away. That was enough; her arm was getting sore from squatting there, and after making sure everything was alright, she went back to sleep.
When Xia Jixuan used his mind to check the space, he found that his family members were all sleeping. It was broad daylight outside, and with the New Year approaching, there must have been many things to do. The only explanation was that the recent grain sales had exhausted them.
Xia Jixuan went to the storeroom and found that it was almost empty. He then used his mind to harvest a crop of rice and a crop of wheat. There wasn't much left, so it was better to be prepared.
It just so happens that he's on break now, because the Chinese New Year is approaching and some people are on holiday. They are special forces soldiers who often don't get holidays. And those positions that are vacated by the holidays have to be filled by those of us who don't get holidays.
He also gave his wife a gift: a flower field he had discovered by the hot springs, a field of beautiful roses. He had specially cut off all the thorns with scissors and picked out two bunches of pink and bright red roses. The six pink roses were for his little daughter, and the twelve bright red roses were for his wife.
However, he didn't know how to wrap it; he just trimmed the thorns and wrapped it up with two sheets of newspaper.
It seemed alright. He put part of his salary and subsidies for the month on the living room table, and gave each of the three small pocket money items 10 yuan. He also gave them an extra 10 yuan as a reward for helping with the work this time.
He clearly wrote down the reasons for each one, and of course he didn't show favoritism. His little daughter also helped.
He returned to his dormitory after arranging everything, only to find someone knocking on the door. He got up and opened it to find Xiong Ying.
Xiong Ying's family members all live in the family compound, so he didn't get a holiday.
Finally, if you see him holding a plate of dumplings and a lunchbox, you'll know that this guy definitely came here to mooch some jerky.
"Old Xia, my wife made dumplings today and brought some over for you. Here are some steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and water, and some stir-fried eggs with chives. Tao Qing asked me to come and ask if you could get some milk or malted milk." Xiong Ying started chattering as soon as she entered the door. After putting down the dumplings and the lunchbox she was carrying, she plopped down on Xia Jixuan's bed.
Tao Qing was Xiong Ying's teammate. She had a son in early 59, but shortly after the child's birth, there was a supply shortage. Now he's two years old and can't even walk properly.
For more than a year, I had to borrow money from all sides and exchange milk powder coupons with everyone in the camp, but even with milk powder coupons, it wasn't guaranteed that I could buy milk powder.
However, since Xia Jixuan provided a batch of supplies here more than half a month ago, everyone has been much better off.
After finishing the can of milk powder he had managed to snag, he thought he'd ask Xia Jixuan if he could still buy some. If so, he wanted to stock up on a couple more cans.
"Sure, but we don't have canned ones, only bagged ones. I prepared a few extra packets to send home for my little girl. She's almost fully recovered, so she only needs to drink it occasionally. If Xiao Tao wants some, I'll give him four packets." He said this standing up. The supplies were found by his friend, giving him an early advantage, and everyone knew his daughter had been injured before.
"How's your niece's injury? Maybe we should save a couple more packets for her." Xiong Ying didn't forget to ask about his little girl's injury.
"She's all better now. She bumped her head and lost a lot of blood, which is why she needed to rest for so long. We're not far from the sea, and the girls even went to the beach to go beachcombing. We have plenty of food at home." Xia Jixuan looked like a silly father when he thought of his little daughter's mischievous and clever nature.
Xiong Ying wanted to cover her face in embarrassment. How did this ruthless guy turn into such a foolish father? He wasn't this stupid when their twin sons were born...
"Alright, alright, if the formula is in the dorm, just give it to me. I'll have Tao Qing bring you the money later." Embarrassed to look at his foolish expression, Xiong Ying decided to leave.
"I'm here, wait a moment while I get it. The tea on the table is drinkable, you can have it." He had just poured it, using well water from his own space.
Xia Jixuan pulled a backpack from under the bed, then grabbed a shoulder bag from beside it, and took out four packets of one-pound milk powder from his spatial storage and put them into the backpack. After Xiong Ying finished drinking his water, he simply shoved the backpack into Xiong Ying's arms.
"Okay, you eat, I'm leaving." Xiong Ying hugged the things to his chest. He was wearing a big cotton-padded coat today, so no one could tell that he had stuffed the things into his chest. Before leaving, Xia Jixuan stuffed another bag into his arms.
Since she had already left home, Xiong Ying didn't dare to look closely and ran home.
When he got home, he realized that the bag of dried meat had been stuffed into his arms. Xiong Ying grinned foolishly and handed the dried meat to his wife. Then he turned around and took the milk powder in his arms to the Tao family.
"Captain Xia said there were a few more packets, so he gave you four. Luckily, he hasn't sent them back yet, or they would be gone. Take them; there's still money in this packet. You can return it to him when you have time." Xiong Ying stuffed the packet into Tao Qing's arms and turned to leave.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, his wife and other women at home are all incredibly busy, so he needs to go back and help.
After Xiong Ying left, Xia Jixuan closed the door and started eating. Xiong Ying's wife made dumplings with plenty of filling. Xiong Ying brought him dumplings and thoughtfully added vinegar, which didn't seem like his style at all.
