Shen An'an, who had barely survived three months in a mutated world, was so hungry that she ventured out for food, only to be ambushed and pushed into the mouth of a carnivorous plant.
Wh...
Yang Hongmei was both amused and angry when she saw her daughter staring at the two bowls of food in her hands.
"You little girl, we have your grandma at home, and we haven't really starved you yet, are you really that greedy?"
Her mother-in-law had escaped famine in her early years, so she had always had the habit of storing food.
Even when they handed in grain to eat from the "big pot", there were still a few bags of grain hidden at home.
If there weren't so many people in the family, the little food we stored would be enough to last until spring.
However, everyone said that the disease would still not be good this year, and the food at home was mixed with wild vegetables.
"I have a fever and consume a lot of energy, so I get hungry quickly!" Shen Anan smiled.
She really consumed too much energy and even consumed all the fat in her body.
Upon hearing this, Yang Hongmei took a closer look at her daughter and realized that her face had become smaller.
"What's wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight overnight? Should we go to the hospital?"
She really felt sorry for her daughter. If she hadn't seen her fever subside quickly last night, she would have sent her to the hospital long ago.
She stood up and was about to go out to call a bullock cart, intending to find her second son to take the patient to the clinic.
Shen Anan quickly grabbed Yang Hongmei and said, "Mom, I'm really fine. I just consumed a lot of energy because of my illness. I'm fine now, but I'm very hungry."
After saying that, he took the Huhu and Wowo that his mother had put aside.
She was just hungry, nothing else was wrong.
"Hiss~~ It's so hot~~~"
The porridge was so hot that she grimaced, but she couldn't bear to spit it out.
He opened his mouth and took a few breaths of cool air before swallowing the porridge. He then put the steamed bun in his mouth, took a bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
The whole way of eating can be described as wolfing down the food.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. Are you that hungry?" Yang Hongmei was frightened by her daughter's actions and appearance.
But I felt relieved to see my daughter had such a good appetite. As long as she can eat, there's nothing wrong with her health.
However, she was thinking about whether she should go to her mother-in-law later to see if she could give the child another special meal?
Shen Anan ate everything Yang Hongmei brought in in two or three bites.
She ate the sweet potato without even peeling the skin, but even so, this was only enough to make her half full.
She looked at Yang Hongmei a little embarrassedly: "Mom, is there anything else to eat? I'm a little hungry..."
Shen Anan felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Fortunately, her parents in this life are almost identical to those in her previous life. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she was still able to shamelessly ask for food.
"Not full? Well...wait a minute, I'll get you some more."
Yang Hongmei stood up and walked out. Not long after, she came back with half a bowl of porridge and half a steamed bun.
But this time the porridge is made of wild vegetables, and the dumplings are also made with wild vegetables, which are completely different from the previous ones.
"Hey~ Eat it while it's hot!"
Seeing that the food this time was obviously the same as yesterday's, Shen Anan immediately understood that her mother must have saved her own food to give to her.
Her grandmother had been distributing food for many years as the mistress of the family. The food used for cooking was calculated in advance, and there was no way there would be any leftover food.
"Thank you, mother!"
Shen Anan looked at Yang Hongmei deeply. Her parents in this life were still so kind to her. She was suddenly glad that she could come here.
"Eat quickly, don't let it get cold." Yang Hongmei urged, swallowing her saliva.
It doesn't matter if she eats less, but her daughter is sick and can't let her starve.
"Um!"
Shen Anan nodded and ate half a bowl of porridge and the wowo. Now was not the time for her to refuse.
She wanted to recover quickly, then go out to find food so that her mother could have a full meal.
"Are you full?" Yang Hongmei continued to ask after seeing Shen Anan finish eating.
If she was still not full, she would go to her mother-in-law for special meals, even if she was scolded.
She gave birth to three sons and only this one daughter, and she treasures her very much.
Shen Anan smiled: “I’m full.”
She was actually still not full, but this was the condition of the family, and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't ask for more food.
As soon as she finished speaking, a young man's voice sounded outside the door: "Sister, is the second brother coming in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in an old cotton-padded jacket walked in.
The man must be about 1.8 meters tall and look quite masculine.
His face looked three parts like her mother and five parts like her father. Shen Anan recognized him at a glance as his original second brother Shen Weimin.
Shen Weimin took out a sweet potato from his arms and handed it to Shen Anan: “Second brother, here is a sweet potato, you can eat it!”
He heard everything when his mother was looking for milk and scooping porridge just now, and watched his mother share her steamed buns with his younger sister.
He also secretly left his sweet potatoes for sick people to eat so that they could get better faster.
"Thank you, second brother. I'm full. A grown man like you doesn't get much food to share. You can eat it yourself." Shen Anan refused.
It’s not that she doesn’t want it, it’s that she is really embarrassed to ask for it.
The food at home was only enough for both men and women to fill up to 50% or 60% full. She was the second wife in the family, and she was not the first wife who received special care from the wet nurse. The food was not much to begin with, so how could she have the nerve to ask for his food?
Shen Weimin put the sweet potato in his hand into Shen Anan's hand without saying anything.
"You've become so skinny, like a skeleton. Eat more so you can get better faster. Hurry and eat!"
He always felt that the girl was not so thin yesterday, why did she look so thin today?
Shen Anan shook her head: "I'm really fine, I just consumed a little too much energy due to the fever."
Looking at the sweet potato in her hand, she could only say thank you: "Thank you, second brother, you are so kind!"
She really needs to replenish the fat she has consumed, otherwise one or two people will think that she is possessed by the White Bone Demon.
Listening to Shen Anan's words, Shen Weimin felt uncomfortable. He scratched his head:
"I'm not used to you saying this all of a sudden."
