Dou Hongxia prepared lunch at home. Seeing that the three siblings hadn't come back yet, she moved a stool and sat at the door with Ping An in her arms, waiting.

While playing with the child in his arms, he looked towards the entrance of the village.

At this time, three small figures appeared on the road leading to the village entrance, it was Yun Xiaotang and the others.

"Sister...sister..." As soon as Xiaopingan saw Yun Xiaotang, he yelled.

Yun Xiaotang poked her head out from under the bamboo basket and smiled when she saw Aunt Dou and Ping An waiting for them at the door.

"Aunt Dou, we are back."

As soon as he finished speaking, without saying much else, a few people quickly returned to the courtyard and locked the door.

As soon as she walked into the yard and put down the bamboo basket, Zhao Xueer took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour.

"I sold the wild honey and exchanged it for money and food stamps. This time we have refined rice and refined flour to eat."

Zhao Xueer lowered her voice and spoke to everyone in the yard.

When Dou Hongxia heard this, she was worried that Xue'er had gone to the black market. The black market was very dangerous and it would be bad if she was caught.

For a moment, she looked uncertain and opened her mouth to speak.

Seeing Aunt Dou's worry, Zhao Xueer patted her hand reassuringly, "Auntie, don't worry, we haven't been discovered. Now we can only buy and sell things on the black market in exchange for food."

Dou Hongxia looked relaxed, "Yeah, if you don't go to the black market, where can you get food from?"

She was mainly worried about the child's safety, so she said, "Next time, let aunt go with you and let aunt watch out for you."

If she was really discovered, she would take full responsibility on herself and must protect these children.

Dou Hongxia's always gentle face gradually gained a bit of determination.

Seeing Aunt Dou's expression in her eyes, Zhao Xueer knew that Aunt Dou had slowly changed. She herself only gained such courage through her experiences in her previous life.

The exchange between the two was witnessed by Yun Xiaotang, who knew that Aunt Dou was changing her mind and that she would become her sister's right-hand assistant.

The only two ignorant people in the yard were Zhao Tian'er and Xiao Ping'an. This was fine rice and powder. Zhao Tian'er had never eaten it since he was born and could remember.

Seeing her brother's reaction, Zhao Xue'er felt extremely distressed. She walked up and rubbed his head, "Tian'er, wait until tonight. My sister will cook you white rice porridge. Tomorrow, I will make white flour steamed buns for you. Are you happy?"

White rice porridge? White flour steamed buns?

Of course it’s good!

Zhao Tianer's smile reached to his ears, and he nodded quickly, "Yeah! Hehe~"

"Wash your hands and let's have lunch first."

The three of them washed their hands and sat at the table in the main room to eat.

Lunch was still multi-grain porridge. It was such a rough diet, but a few people enjoyed it very much. The whole family sat around the table, neatly and warmly.

When he went to work in the afternoon, Zhao Tianer looked at the sky for a while and then looked at the sky for a while.

Yun Xiaotang snickered on the side, knowing that her brother couldn't wait to go home and drink rice porridge after work.

She understands the child's mood.

Just like when she got good grades in the exam, she took the test paper and couldn't wait for the school bell to ring, rushed out of the classroom, and went home to exchange the test paper for a reward.

Lying on her back on the grass, she looked at the white clouds in the sky.

It'll be fine just to get through this year, it will be soon.

On the same grassland, Zhou Nanyue was lying on his back and looking at the sky. These days, he relied on the back mountain to catch chickens and rabbits to satisfy his hunger.

He has almost never eaten the food cooked by his grandmother, Mrs. Chen, but it's not that they don't let him eat it.

It's just that their family really doesn't have much food, and that woman now stays in her room all day long, so it's better if she doesn't go crazy.

He is left to graze the cattle, while Mrs. Chen works in the fields. The family's private land is currently planted with some wheat and corn, and she doesn't know what the harvest will be like in the future.

Based on the memory of his previous life, it should not be good. This year will still be a lean year.

He wanted to find some good things in the mountains and sell them on the black market in exchange for food.

It was because of this famine in her previous life that Old Mrs. Chen, who had been in a state of hunger for a long time, was getting worse and worse. After the famine finally ended, she couldn't afford to get sick, and she still couldn't survive it.

After Old Mrs. Chen passed away, only he and the crazy woman were left, and the woman beat him even more severely, calling him a "disaster" who only came to defeat others.

After each beating, the woman would hug him and cry, saying that he was the only one she had and that he was her only relative.

He who was originally filled with hatred would become a little softer.

Until one time, the woman went crazy again, tied him up, and dragged him to jump into the river together.

While staggering, he was in a daze, "He won't come back... He won't come back, he still left me. My mother-in-law is gone, what's the point of living for me..."

Suddenly, she stared at the tied him sinisterly again, "You shouldn't have come to this world, I will take you away this time."

After saying that, she pushed him into the river and jumped into the river herself.

At that time, the river was so fast that the water reached his mouth and nose, and he struggled hard underwater.

He didn't want to die. Although life was difficult, he still had a lot of expectations for the future. He was only ten years old at the time.

Fortunately, children playing nearby noticed what they were doing and called adults to rescue them.

But the woman didn't make it through, and she died as she wished.

His strong desire to live actually allowed him to survive.

From then on, he was the only one left in the family.

Until that man came...

Raising his hands to cover his eyes, Zhou Nanyue suppressed the strong anger and gloom in his eyes.

What is the meaning of his reincarnation?

He doesn't understand.

At this time, a soft whisper floated to his ears along the wind——

"Brother, it's time to get off work, let's go home quickly!"

You can hear the speaker's happiness just from his voice.

Why is this kid so energetic every time I see him?

Zhou Nanyue followed the sound and looked over, only to see the back of the girl leaving with her brother.

…

Yun Xiaotang and her brother walked on the way home together, their pace became much brisker.

They didn't dare to say much for fear of being overheard, so they just secretly had fun in their hearts and went home to drink rice porridge.

When they walked to the door of their house, Zhao Xueer and Dou Hongxia had just returned home. As soon as they put down their things, they saw the brother and sister entering the door.

Zhao Xueer couldn't help but laugh, "You two little guys, you are not having fun today. You will go home as soon as you get off work."

Upon hearing her sister's joke, Zhao Tian'er felt a little embarrassed and touched his head with his hand.

Yun Xiaotang walked forward with a smile, hugged her sister's arm and acted coquettishly.

Seeing her sister acting cute, Zhao Xueer couldn't bear it and couldn't help pinching her sister's cheek.

"Okay, you guys can play in the yard with Ping An, and Aunt Dou and I will go make dinner for you, including rice porridge."

Smiling, Yun Xiaotang put down the arm holding her sister, nodded, and began to play with Xiao Ping An.
