When she woke up, she saw a woman looking at her coldly. It wasn't like she was looking at a baby, but at an enemy. There was definitely hatred in her cold eyes.

She was awake more and more every day. Since no one paid attention to her, the sources of information she had were very limited. It took her a long time to get some understanding of where she was.

She didn't know the exact year, she only knew it seemed to be in the 1960s or 1970s, because this place was really poor, with mud houses and you could see the thatched roof directly while lying on the kang.

It was only after she learned to walk that she found out that she was born in 1956.

Her birth was truly hellish. When she was four years old, a great famine struck. The fact that she survived and didn't starve to death made people mistakenly believe that she was God's chosen one.

I don’t know if this family is inherently evil, or if there are other reasons, but why would they harbor such great malice towards a newborn baby.

Anyway, since her daily wakefulness time increased, she was hanging on to her life by a mouthful of rice soup that was no different from plain water. In order to survive, she tried her best to crawl as quickly as possible.

At least this way she could move around, find food to eat, and avoid starving to death. Because she did not get enough nutrition, she learned to walk later than other children.

Fortunately, the people in this village are still very kind. Whenever they see her, they will give her something to eat. It is impossible to give her food every day because no one has that much extra food.

Fortunately, there are many people in this village, and occasionally a family would give her a little, so she grew up eating food from many families.

After she was able to walk steadily, she rarely accepted the kindness of the villagers. It was really difficult at that time. Everyone had to count the grains of rice before eating. Why would they waste it on her, an orphan who was not an orphan?

As long as she works hard near the mountains, she can always fill her stomach three-quarters full. Fortunately, her body is very strong and she is still healthy despite all the hard work.

As she remembers that in her previous life she had to lie in bed for more than ten years, she has an obsession with a healthy body and regards anyone who harms her health as her enemy.

She grew up stumbling and struggling until she was five years old. Her mother, the only one in the family who still gave her a bite to eat, walked out of the house with a small bag on her shoulder without looking back. From then on, Chen Ye never saw the mother in her memory again.

She did not cry and beg the woman to stay like other children, nor was she sad. After all, she was someone who never expected family affection.

Not getting entangled with her own mother was the greatest kindness she could show her. After all, she was able to survive by relying on the rice soup at the bottom of a bowl that woman ate every day.

When that woman left, life was the most difficult. Every household had no surplus food, and no one would be kind enough to give Chen Ye the life-saving food.

Chen Ye almost found himself growing up in the mountains when he opened his eyes every day. There was no other way, the land was barren and only the mountains were green. If he wanted to avoid starving to death, he could only go to the mountains.

If she hadn't had those extra memories, she would probably have eaten dirt to death like many other children at that time. She had eaten grass roots, tree bark, and anything that wasn't poisonous to her.

As for those two old ones, what roles did they play in her short life?

Maybe it's a punching bag for people to take out their anger and beatings?

Or a farmhand who can do housework without having to worry about meals?

Or is he a tool who can take their place as their son and take care of them throughout their life, old age, sickness and death?

If it weren't for her young age, if the two old guys were dead, the villagers would never let her live alone, and she would have killed them long ago.

Thinking of those two old guys who tried to cause accidents and kill her several times when she was young, Chen Ye felt that she was not cruel enough.

Chen Ye's breathing gradually became steady, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Yes, how could a child of eleven or twelve not be tired when he has to work with the strong adult laborers in the village every day?

Chen Ye works so hard not for those two old guys, but entirely for her own belly. She is in the growing period, how can she grow well if she doesn't eat enough.

When Chen Ye opened her eyes, it was already afternoon. She obediently did not go to work. She planned to complete all the things she had planned while it was not too busy.

But she can't let other things delay her from earning work points. You have to know that how much you work is directly linked to your food rations. Chen Ye would feel distressed if there was one grain less.

After putting on a layer of ragged clothes, Chen Ye brushed his short hair that had been blown up by sleeping, went to another room first, and lifted the old lady who had no strength to struggle on the ground onto the kang.

As for whether the man covered himself with the quilt properly, she didn't care. These two old guys had survived the winter, but she didn't even heat the kang for them all day.

She had made a big hole in the kang, and the two old men would urinate on it. When the time came, she could just take out the bucket from the hole and pour it out.

If they dared to get it on the bedding, she would starve them for two days, and the two old guys would immediately become obedient.

Even if they got dirty, she would not be able to clean them. Although the old lady's legs could not move, her arms could still move. She would just carry the old lady to the yard and let her wash herself.

After so many times, the old lady dared to just talk big, but she didn't dare to do anything else that would bring harm to others, otherwise she would be the one to clean up the mess in the end.

He washed his hands that had touched the old lady with disgust, then went to the kitchen to prepare the second meal of the day.

Add water to the pot, put the washed rice in a large bowl and steam it, and beat two eggs to make a bowl of egg cake.

She picked up some pickles, washed them, and ate them with rice later. Steamed egg cake was probably the most technically demanding dish Chen Ye could make. She only knew how to cook the rest of the dishes, which was to just wash them and boil them in water.

As for the two elderly people in the house, they still wanted a second meal? What good things were they dreaming of? All in all, they had only drunk the pot washing water in this house for more than a year, and that was only the bottom of a bowl a day.

She can now give each of the two old guys a bowl of porridge a day. She is already very generous.

After having a full meal of dry food, Chen Ye patted his stomach with great satisfaction. In a person's life, a healthy body and a full stomach every day are the two happiest things.

After these few days, she no longer had to eat in secret.

After thinking about it, she realized that Chen Laoer would be here almost tomorrow, so she quickly moved the few foods in the kitchen, even the seasonings.

Only a few sprouted potatoes were left, and less than a bowl of coarse grains mixed with sand and rice husks.
