Chapter 10 Novels are all lies
What about the system? What about the space? What about the golden finger?
Isn’t this the standard configuration for every female time traveler in novels?
Or do I need to go up the mountain and encounter wild vegetables or medicinal herbs that can be exchanged to trigger it?
She got up and walked to the woodshed, looking at the wild vegetables dug up by her nephews. There were only a few wild vegetables in the basket, barely enough to stir-fry a dish.
Every family had a hard time, so they all went out to dig wild vegetables. They didn't dare go into the deep mountains because it was too dangerous, so they could only dig on the outskirts. So even though they went there every day, they could only dig a little.
I grabbed a handful of slightly wilted shepherd's purse and waited for a moment, but nothing happened.
She tried touching a few other things, but still no response.
She finally accepted the reality.
Oh, heaven and earth, did she not knock the wooden fish enough in her previous life?
As both of us are time-traveling women, why do we have two sets of standards?
He wailed in his heart, took a deep breath, and sang silently.
[I accepted it with tears, novels are all lies.]
[After traveling through time, there is no golden finger.]
[There is no spiritual spring space, and there is no heaven-defying system.]
[You have to rely on yourself to make it work.]
A voice broke her inner sobbing and wailing.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Li Sandong asked with a sad look on his sister's face as she grabbed a handful of wild vegetables.
Li Wanyue awkwardly threw the vegetables back into the bamboo basket and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just hungry. I want to see what my sister-in-law has cooked and what wild vegetables Xiaotao and the others have dug."
"Oh, the meal is ready, come out and eat."
Li Wanyue followed him to the main hall. Alas, the only advantage might be that he felt ten years younger.
Li Wanyue followed Li Sandong to the main room. On the long wooden table were a basket of elm seed coarse flour cakes, two plates of fried shepherd's purse that looked like they were boiled and had little oil, a plate of pickled radish, two boiled eggs, a pot of brown rice porridge that was so thick that you could see your reflection in it, and a bowl of thick white rice porridge.
The family conditions were poor, and wild vegetables had emerged at this time of year, and elm money trees could be picked. Most villagers would pick some and mix them with coarse flour to make steamed bread or cakes, thus saving some food.
However, within a few days, all the elm seeds in the village will be plucked out.
"Yueyue, come and sit down." Zhao Suying greeted her hurriedly when she saw her coming.
After Li Wanyue sat down, Zhao Suying brought the bowl of rice porridge to her and handed her a boiled egg: "Eat quickly. The doctor said that you are not getting enough energy and blood. You need to replenish your body. There is medicine boiling on the stove. Take it after dinner."
Li Wanyue glanced at the others. Xiaolan and Xiaotao lowered their heads. Xiaohe stared at the white rice porridge in front of her and licked her lips.
Ang Lee sat obediently.
Sun Xiuqin directly took another egg, peeled it and handed it to Li Kang. Li Kang took it and ate it in a few bites without even thinking of sharing it with his other brothers and sisters. The other children looked normal and it seemed that they were used to it.
Li Wanyue remembered that Li Kang was very thin when he was born and was sick every other day, so she named him Li Kang, hoping that he would be healthy.
He is also the first boy in the family, so all the good things in the family are given to him first.
Eggs are good things and can be sold for money. Other people eat them once every few days, but Li Kang eats one every day.
Li Kang stared at the porridge in front of Li Wanyue and swallowed his saliva: "Mom, I want to drink white rice porridge too."
Sun Xiuqin patted her shoulder and said, "Child, do I need you to tell me? Your aunt loves you the most. She will definitely not only care about her own food."
After saying that, he looked at Li Wanyue.
This made several people at the dinner table frown.
Li Erhu glared at Sun Xiuqin and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see that my little sister is so weak and needs nourishment? Xiaokang is no longer a child, he is half a man, and he still wants to fight with his aunt for food? Is this what you taught him when I was not at home?"
When Li Erhu was at home, Sun Xiuqin was relatively restrained. However, Li Erhu was not at home most of the time. He was either working in the fields or chopping wood in the mountains. During the slack season, he went to work in the town or county, so he had less time to spend with the children.
Sun Xiuqin said flatteringly, "I am just worried about Xiaokang's health. He has always been weak, and we haven't cooked rice porridge in a long time. I thought my little sister wouldn't be able to finish such a big bowl, so I will definitely share some with Xiaokang."
Li Erhu said with a sullen face, "If my younger sister can't finish it, then there are still Xiaoan and Xiaohe. They are Xiaokang's younger brothers and sisters, and they haven't asked for anything yet. How can he ask for it?"
Sun Xiuqin thought to herself, how can it be the same? Xiaokang is the eldest grandson and his health is not good, so naturally Xiaokang should come first.
But seeing that Li Erhu's face looked unhappy, she didn't dare to say so.
He changed his words and said, "Xiao An and Xiao He are in good health and sensible, so they naturally won't fight over stuttering."
Seeing that Li Erhu was about to speak, Zhao Suying immediately stopped him: "Enough, you can't even stop eating. This porridge is for Yueyue. She needs to replenish her body now. Don't worry about it. If she can't finish it, save it for her to eat in the evening."
After Zhao Suying finished speaking, Wang Guixiang stood up and served food to everyone.
Li Wanyue stood up and took her arm: "Sister-in-law, let me do it."
"Your second sister-in-law and I are here, how can we let you do that..."
Li Wanyue smiled, poured the white rice porridge in front of her into the basin, and stirred it a few times.
"Little sister, that's for you to eat." Li Dachuan said anxiously.
"Don't I have medicine? Those tonics are enough."
When Li Kang saw that the white rice porridge and brown rice were mixed together, he curled his lips and was about to cry, but Sun Xiuqin covered his mouth with her hands, then signaled him with her eyes to consider the situation.
Li Wanyue peeled the eggs again and went to the kitchen to cut them into four small pieces.
Give Xiaolan, Xiaotao, Xiaohe and Li An a small piece each.
Although each piece was small, the children looked flattered.
In the past, they had no shortage of eggs, and since Li's father was a hunter, the family could eat meat at least once a month.
Later, Li's father was injured. The weather was also bad last year, resulting in a reduced harvest and a shortfall in the family's income. After finishing their work in the fields, the three brothers went out to work, and no matter how much they earned, at least it could supplement the family's income.
Wang Guixiang was responsible for feeding the chickens and piglets at home, while Sun Xiuqin was responsible for cooking, so Li Kang always had eggs to eat.
Other children can only eat it a few times a month.
Xiaolan handed the egg over and said, "Aunt, please eat the egg. Get well soon so that the family can feel at ease."
Xiao Tao followed up and agreed: "Big sister is right, little sister, just eat it, we are in good health and don't need to supplement."
Xiao An also nodded heavily.
When Xiaohe heard what her two sisters said, she looked at the egg reluctantly and pushed the egg back.
Li Wanyue smiled with relief. Except for Li Kang, these children were all good.
She said, "Just eat what's given to you. I need to take medicine soon, so I can't eat so much."
Sun Xiuqin looked at the egg in Xiaohe's hand and wanted her to give it to her son. She was just a girl and would belong to someone else's family in the future. There was no need for her to eat good food.
But Li Erhu was beside her, so she didn't dare.
A small piece of egg can be finished in one bite, but the children ate it in small bites.
Li Wanyue sighed inwardly when she saw them like this. They were eating an egg as if it were some kind of delicacy. They were just being so poor.
