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 61 Pueraria

The old man raised his arm high, then lowered it gently, pretending to slap the boy twice.

Yang Liansheng was defeated step by step and begged for mercy.

Chen Yuanzhi then gasped and said, "Are you still lying?"

The young man felt a little uneasy. Could it be that his uncle had already told the old man the news about his grandmother?

Yang Liansheng's eyes suddenly became obscure and unclear.

Seeing that the young man didn't respond for a long time, Chen Yuanzhi thought that he was guilty and became even more angry.

He cursed angrily, "You are such a spoiled brat! Your grandma has spoiled you so much that you are lawless. What kind of day is it now? Everyone else is staying at school, but you are running out to play. Are you trying to piss me off to death?!"

The old man calmed down and continued to scold, "You came to see me specially, but you didn't choose to come during the holidays. What do you mean by coming now? You are skipping school!!"

So this is what they were talking about.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all your fault," he said stubbornly. "You didn't tell me anything. I spent a lot of time asking around before I found out you were hiding here. How could I not be worried? Could you please come over and take a look?"

Seeing the boy still talking back.

Chen Yuanzhi was so angry that he almost laughed.

Start searching around.

"You are so capable, it's amazing."

The young boy picked up the stick and handed it to the old man very tactfully. As a person who had been scolded since childhood, he knew very well what the old man would do next.

It was just for show.

This thing is stuffed in my hand right now.

Chen Yuanzhi was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Could it be that the eldest grandson came to see him eagerly, and he beat him up excitedly as soon as they met?

Maybe a little too fierce.

This is not good.

Just when he didn't know what to do.

His neighbor, Mr. Feng, came back and saw from a distance the old man and the half-grown boy arguing at the door.

He stepped forward with a gossipy look on his face.

"Old Chen, who is this?"

Without even raising his eyelids, Chen Yuanzhi casually said, "My student, Yang Liansheng."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng looked the young man up and down. He really looked like someone from a big city.

Yang Liansheng had just opened his mouth to say, "Teacher...I'll put the things in the room for you!" but the old man's stern gaze made him change his words.

The old man nodded, took out two pancakes bought by the young man and handed them to Mr. Feng.

Feng Zhijun took it with trembling hands and said embarrassedly, "Thanks to you, I can taste this good thing again."

Chen Yuanzhi felt melancholy.

"Take it!"

As he spoke, he led the boy into the narrow wooden house at the edge. The house was not big, just enough for a bed, with two or three spaces left for small things.

The young man looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "Master..."

The old man put his finger to his lips and said in a low voice, "My teacher..."

There are some unscrupulous people among them who like to tell tales. He doesn't want to be caught by the braid and dragged into this mess.

“…”

The young man was silent for a while before he said, "There's been a famine this year, and most people in Yangjia Village are starving. I was really worried about you, so I wanted to come and see you. I also brought you some food..."

As he spoke, he took out the rice, cigarettes, candies, cakes... from his pocket one by one.

There was some pain in the old man's eyes.

"You kid, even if you have money, don't act like this. Why buy these cigarettes? The old man doesn't like this!" After saying that, he blew his beard and glared at the young man.
