Perhaps because she felt that Da Wa's expression was really ugly, Xia Manni continued, "Blow it out after dinner."
No one would believe it if she told others about it. She even had to explain it to a six-year-old child. She even felt inexplicably guilty.
Big Brother nodded as a response.
He thought, forget it, Xia Manni is helping them after all, so just use her if you want.
I saw the eldest boy skillfully put the chopped firewood into the stove, and then lit the firewood with a fire starter.
Xia Manni didn't feel that Da Wa's skill was so admirable, but compared with her childhood self, she felt that Da Wa was better at this move.
Erwa found the grate and put two big sweet potatoes on it.
Xia Manni didn't lend a hand or speak during the whole process.
But at this moment, she was extremely happy in her heart.
These kids are so well-behaved and sensible, won’t she enjoy a happy life in the future?
She felt that she was not a particularly hardworking person, and all her efforts and diligence were for the purpose of being able to lie down in the future.
So she worked very hard in the workplace and saved up 100,000 yuan in just two years. Her dream was very simple, which was to earn enough money to retire early and then find a nursing home to live in.
As for starting a family, getting married and having children, she had never considered these. She felt that it would be difficult for someone like her to find a partner, and she was unwilling to compromise.
Now, after being reborn as an ancient widow, I feel a real sense of reality that I can let go of.
She couldn't help but look through the darkness at the starry sky outside. In this strange time and place, she had nothing but a clear mind.
She didn't have the legendary system, the awesome golden finger, or even any martial arts skills. If the Five Animal Frolics counted, she could still practice a few times.
Although it is difficult to survive in this village with four children, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
And from her observation, these four children all have their own unique characteristics. Their looks are also above average, except for their unattractive complexions, but they all have double eyelids and big eyes.
The original body was bought, and even her parents didn't know who she was. After leaving here, where would her direction and goal be?
It’s not that she wasn’t clear-headed, she just chose the most acceptable difficulty.
What if these four kids could become successful in the future, just like she was when she was little? After her parents passed away, no one in the family was willing to adopt her, as they despised her as a burden.
In the end, only her elderly grandparents took her in. She didn't spend much time with her grandparents at that time, so they could be said to be familiar strangers.
But grandpa and grandma never disliked her.
Later, she worked hard and was the top student in her class from elementary school to high school.
She doesn't allow herself to fall behind or fail. People with her background must run harder and earlier than others.
Finally, she was admitted to her ideal university, and those relatives who she rarely contacted suddenly came to congratulate her.
She only wanted to work and study to earn money so that she could repay her grandparents in the future.
Who knew that it was not only me who grew up, but my grandparents also grew old during this period.
As my grandparents get older, their health is getting worse.
In their era, due to the rapid economic development, viruses were always appearing, and the elderly were killed in this way.
She came from a small village and worked her way up to a big company through her own efforts, so she always believed in an old saying.
That is, don’t bully the young because they are poor.
These four children can be said to be her greatest wealth. If she succeeds in investing, she will have plenty of blessings to enjoy in the future.
But this family is so poor that they only have two sweet potatoes to eat, and all they have is the ten taels of silver that they robbed today.
Although she was not very clear about the currency circulation in this dynasty, she knew that ten taels of silver was not that much.
Alas, the road ahead is long, but she will not be defeated.
"It's ready, come and eat." Big Brother came over and called Xia Manni who was sitting at the door.
Da Wa didn't know what Xia Manni was thinking, but he felt that she seemed to be thinking a lot.
When Xia Manni walked into the kitchen, she found a shabby little table in the middle of the room.
There was a circle of small chairs made of bamboo next to the table.
If someone is particularly heavy, the chair will probably collapse as soon as they sit on it.
There were five bowls on the table, each of them cracked to varying degrees. In her bowl was a whole sweet potato, while in the bowls of the four children there was only one sweet potato each.
It seems that they had already discussed it when they were dividing the sweet potatoes.
At this time, only Erwazi and Siwazi picked up their chopsticks. Erwazi looked really hungry, and he ate a piece of sweet potato as if it were a full banquet.
But Siwa looked as if it had nothing to do with her, as if it was time to eat so she just ate.
Xia Manni picked up the chopsticks and divided the sweet potato in her bowl into five even pieces, and then put a piece into each child's bowl.
Da Wa looked at the extra sweet potatoes in the bowl, then looked at the small piece of sweet potato left in Xia Manni's bowl, and couldn't help but look at her with some confusion.
"I'm an adult and I'm more resistant to hunger. I said we should share the food among the five of us, so we should share it. In the future, I will definitely take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Our lives will definitely get better and better."
She was lying. How could adults resist starvation? Did they eat their own fat?
But she would definitely not say these things, because no matter how shameless she was, she couldn't force herself to eat with a few kids.
After hearing what Xia Manni said, the fourth child raised his head, and even the second child raised his face which was buried in the bowl. The third child stared at Xia Manni with his cute eyes, and the eldest child stopped and stood up.
"You...you mean...what do you mean?..."
"What I mean is that I won't leave. I'll be with you from now on. I'm counting on you to take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life."
Xia Manni looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. People aged quickly in ancient times, so she said it would not be too much to let them take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life.
There was a different expression on the eldest child's excited face, like crying and laughing at the same time.
“This…this…”
"What's this? Hurry up and give me the silver. I need to figure out how to use it tomorrow. I have nothing at home and need to buy a lot of things."
After hearing this, Da Wa quickly took out the silver from his waist and handed it to Xia Manni.
Xia Manni took it and teased Da Wa, saying, "You gave it to me so easily, didn't you ever think that I would take it and run away?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Da Wa's face changed and he hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Unexpectedly, Sanwa suddenly said, "Auntie, you won't."
This childish voice carries an extremely firm meaning.
Xia Manni thought that even someone who disliked children the most would feel heartbroken at this moment.
"What are you talking about? Call me mom." Xia Manni said with a deliberately stern face.
