Mrs. Xu dug a pit under a locust tree at the foot of the mountain, buried Cuihua's pillow in the pit, and piled up a small grave with soil.

In the evening, when Li Laowen came back from the fields, Mrs. Xu dragged him to the locust tree and said:

"Your daughter is buried here, can I be your stepmother? No matter what happens, I will let her rest in peace!"

During the famine years, most of the dead children were simply thrown away. Not many could be buried seriously.

The man said nothing, turned around, picked off a few wild flowers and placed them on the "grave bag".

Xu's words that day echoed in my ears.

'Alas! This child will not survive two hours!'

‘You go to work! I will take care of the child. If you are lucky, live it. If you die, I will bury it...’

He turned around and looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "I'm sorry for you! Cuihua... is enjoying her happiness!"

He worked in the fields all day long and knew nothing about Xu's mistreatment of Cuihua.

What's more, he didn't expect that as soon as he left that day, Mrs. Xu would throw his still-living daughter over the mountains and into a mass grave.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We are a couple, don't say polite words. No matter what, I have raised her for a few months. Even kittens and puppies have feelings! How can I bear to throw her away?

?”

…

After inquiries in Houshan Village, no one claimed the child, so the Qi family decided to adopt it seriously.

They need to name their children and register them first.

"His father! Please name the child!" Ms. Cui looked at her husband and said.

Qi Futian thought for a moment and said, "I think she'll be called Kexin! It's great to have a daughter in our family. Let her nickname be Fubao! She's also blessed to be in our house. What do you think?"

Ms. Cui said happily: "What a great name! We have a daughter, which is really great!"

"Giggle!" Xiao Kexin laughed, and even laughed out loud.

Is there such a coincidence? The name I chose is exactly the same as the name I had in my previous life!

Originally, there were few people with the surname Qi, so it was a coincidence that they were adopted by someone with the surname Qi! Now the names match up again, which is great!

She has seen that the Qi Futian family is a kind family, and she is lucky to be adopted by them.

As for being poor or not having enough to eat, it doesn’t matter! In years of famine, everyone is the same!

What's more, these problems are not a problem to her. When she can leave, she can enter the space and help the Qi family.

Although she still doesn't know what her space contains, there will always be space. It is highly likely that her life will gradually get better in the future.

"Little crybaby, you finally stopped crying. Your smile is so kissable!"

Ms. Cui picked up Xiao Kexin and bumped her head against hers. Her eyes were full of love.

"Blessed baby! Hug me, brother!" Shuan Zhu, Tiezhu and Tongzhu rushed over to hug their sister.

Ms. Cui said with a smile: "You can't hold her now! Fu Bao is too weak! You guys are not deep enough, so if she falls, you will be in trouble! You can hold her again when mommy makes her stronger."

After speaking, he looked at his husband and sighed:

"His dad! How old do you think Fu Bao is? Judging from the baby teeth, he should be one year old! But how can a one-year-old child not be able to stand upright? Alas! This child is too nutritionally deficient!"

Qi Futian nodded, "Yes! This child is too weak! Shuan Zhu is so big that he can even walk a few steps!"

"Not only Shuanzhu, but also several of our children were much taller than Fubao when they first had their baby teeth. Fubao already had four baby teeth! He's still a little bigger." Ms. Cui looked at Kexin with loving eyes.

, I feel sorry for this child.

After a moment of silence, she glanced at her children and said: "From now on, the eggs laid by our chickens will be used to replenish Fu Bao's body first! Don't argue with her!"

The Qi family originally raised seven or eight hens, but they all starved to death because they had nothing to eat! Only two were left.

These two also had stomach cramps after not eating, and it took them several days to hold in an egg until they came out.

In years of famine, the eggs laid by chickens are golden eggs, which are very valuable. Neither the Qi family nor the husband and wife are willing to eat them, so they all give them to their children.

Whenever I save 5, I cook it and give one to each of the children.

Therefore, although the children of the Qi family were as hungry as monkeys, they all survived. None of them died of starvation.

"Mom! We won't fight with my sister, give it all to her!" Shuan Zhu glanced at his younger brothers and expressed his stance first.

Tiezhu and Tongzhu didn't have any objections, but the fourth and fifth sons were a little unhappy.

Especially the fifth child. He used to be an old kid, and his parents took better care of him. Now, his parents' attention has shifted to his younger sister, and he won't even be able to eat eggs from now on.

Qi Futian touched Lao Wu's head and said, "Dad will catch a few more chicks last autumn, and then I'll let you guys eat an egg every day. Okay?"

When their father said this, the eyes of the boys suddenly lit up.

"Dad! Catch a few more chicks! I'll feed them, I'll catch bugs and feed them." Tongzhu, the third child, said excitedly.

"Can you catch bugs? Stop bragging! People have eaten bugs, even ants, so why not take the chicken's turn?" Tie Zhu said to his brother unceremoniously.

In years of famine, when there was no food to eat, in order to fill the stomach, everything edible in the world was eaten.

Mouse holes and ant holes have been dug!

Grass roots, tree bark, wild vegetables and insects have also entered people's stomachs.

…

In order to feed the little Fubao, Ms. Cui stared at the butt of the hen every day. One day she picked up an egg and was as happy as if she had found a treasure.

She would steam the eggs into egg custard and mix them into millet porridge or green corn syrup to feed Fu Bao.

"The baby should eat more! The baby will grow up quickly! When he grows up, he will be my mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

Mrs. Cui looked at Fu Bao with a smile, feeding him spoonful by spoonful, with eyes full of maternal love.

Little Fubao also wanted to be kissed. After eating a spoonful of rice, he gave his mother a sweet smile, which made Ms. Cui unable to close her mouth!

In order for the hens to lay more eggs, Tongzhu went to catch bugs every day. Occasionally he caught a bug, and he was very happy.

After all, is it a child who has just fed bugs to the chicken and turns around to ask his mother if the chicken has laid eggs?

"Hahaha!"

Cui smiled and touched Tongzhu's head, "Silly son! You can't be so fast! The hen needs to absorb the nutrients from the bugs before she can lay eggs. But if the hen can eat bugs regularly, what will happen next?

It will lay more eggs!”

"Then I will work hard to catch insects." Tongzhu said.

"Mom! If the chickens lay too many eggs and my sister can't eat them, can we also eat some?" Lao Gupa Wuzhu kept staring at the bowl where his mother fed him, which contained egg custard.

Mrs. Cui patted Wuzhu on the shoulder, "Yeah! When dad catches the chicks, our family will raise a few more hens. When the chicks lay eggs, you can eat eggs every day."

"Ouch! That's great!" Wu Zhu jumped up happily.

Little Fubao couldn't bear to eat all the eggs by herself. Whenever her brother was around, she would stop eating until she was half full. Ms. Cui thought she was full, so she gave the rest to the children around her.

It was the same today, she stopped eating after she was half full. Mrs. Cui gave the remaining egg custard to Lao Wu next to her.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Lao Wu licked his bowl clean.
