1960s: My Birth Mother Abandoned Me on the Road to Escape Famine

Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...

Chapter 53 Encounter (1/2)

Chapter 53 Encounter

The next day.

Qin Qing told her good sister about what happened yesterday, which made Zhu Zhu sigh. She used to despise her father, but now she can only feel lucky.

These people nowadays are not just crazy.

With the heavy burden in his heart lifted, Qin Qing was in much better condition today and even finished the homework assigned by the teacher ahead of time.

After all, it’s more fun to spend my free time looking for food with my second brother.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home from school. Shitou squatted on the side of the road bored, watching the crowds of people leaving the school one after another, his eyes without any fluctuation.

It was not until he saw the girl with a high ponytail, fair skin and a smile sweeter than a flower that he rushed over like a cannonball.

"Little sister! Give me your schoolbag!" Shi Tou was serious and responsible, and reached out to take the schoolbag.

Just like the head of the family.

Qin Qing smiled with curved eyebrows.

"No need, brother."

Seeing Shitou's slightly disappointed look, she came over and asked with a smile, "Brother, how early did you get here?"

"Just arrived."

Shitou obviously wouldn't lie. He was afraid of missing the time, so he went out early. It happened to be the time when the sun was at its hottest, and he was sunburned so badly that his lips were foaming and he was extremely thirsty for water.

My silly brother!

Qin Qing lowered his head and took out a few tomatoes from his backpack. Shitou's eyes widened and he swallowed hard, "What are these? Tomatoes? They're so small."

Qin Qing stuffed everything in his hand into Shitou's hand and patiently explained, "These are called small tomatoes. My deskmate gave them to me. I secretly saved a few for you."

Shi Tou's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

"Your fat classmate, the one who owns a mine at home?" Shitou applied what Qin Qing usually said.

Qin Qing held back her laughter and pushed the blame onto Zhu Zhu.

"Yes, it's her."

Shitou swallowed his saliva, feeling the tip of his tongue was sour, but he still controlled his energy.

"Let's take it home and eat it. I'm sure my parents have never eaten this before."

Qin Qing opened her backpack, and inside lay three bright red tomatoes, so fresh that their skins were shiny.

"Everything is here. Eat it quickly and don't let anyone see you."

Shi Tou looked at the few coins in his hand, and the corners of his mouth turned upside down, and the smile in his eyes burst out.

He carefully took out one, covered his face with his hands, and put it in his mouth quietly.

The tomatoes are juicy, and the sweet and sour taste after the skin is broken rushes into the throat, teasing the taste buds, and it is delicious.

After swallowing one tomato, Shitou reluctantly put the tomato in his hand into his pocket.

Save it for later eating.

The return journey was quite peaceful. Perhaps because someone gave him courage, Qin Qing no longer felt scared.

I even dared to say, "Second brother, why don't you just not come to pick me up tomorrow!"

Going back and forth under the scorching sun is not an easy job.

Unexpectedly, Shitou's mouth dropped, and he said with a stern face, "No!"

To do things properly, you must see them through to the end.

Nowadays, there are fewer people going to work in the early morning, and those who go to school seem to be more diligent.

Go out on time.

Qin Qing was so upset that she almost couldn't even cry. Now that there was someone who was inseparable from her, she had to find a good excuse to take anything.

It's easy to be exposed if you're not careful.

Not to mention secretly adding more food.

She felt that her complexion had become worse these days.

Sad people.
