Night falls.
The Ye family gathered together to eat dinner under the dim light.
A plate of fried bacon with vegetables, homemade pickles, and sweet potato porridge, this is their dinner.
It’s called stir-fried bacon and vegetables, but it’s just a few slices of bacon, which can be counted on ten fingers.
The sweet potato porridge has a lot of sweet potatoes but is still thick.
Everyone in the Ye family had their own bowl, except Ye Liuqing, who had a very large bowl with more porridge and less sweet potatoes. In front of her was a bowl of steamed egg cake specially made for her.
The egg cake was steamed until it was smooth and tender, and two drops of sesame oil were added to it, making it smell very fragrant.
Ye Liuqing was stunned for a moment.
"My daughter, eat more. You look so thin." Liu Cuilan put several slices of bacon into Ye Liuqing's bowl.
With this scraping, half of the bacon on the plate was gone.
Ye Dagang, Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun didn't react at all, as if this was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Daughter, eat quickly."
"Mom, you're too stingy. You don't know if you can cook more and it's not enough for my little sister."
"Old Three has a point."
The original owner was truly pampered in this family.
A warm feeling surged through Ye Liuqing's heart. He picked up a spoon and scooped two full spoonfuls of egg cake for Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan.
Liu Cuilan was very happy. "My daughter, just eat it yourself. Why give it to us?"
"My parents work so hard in the fields every day, so they need some nourishment." Ye Liuqing smiled sweetly.
"My brothers have worked hard too, so they need some nourishment." Ye Liuqing then scooped two more spoonfuls for Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun.
Ye Jianhua and Ye Jianjun saw the egg cake in the bowl and looked at their younger sister in astonishment.
Little sister, you are so nice to them.
They must be extra nice to my younger sister in the future.
"My daughter, don't worry about your brothers and the others. Just eat quickly." Seeing how close her children were, Liu Cuilan couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Mom." Ye Liuqing smiled sweetly.
Liu Cuilan’s cooking skills are quite good. The steamed egg cakes she makes are very tender and even more fragrant when dripped with sesame oil.
A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and only Ye Liuqing was left on the table.
…
After dinner, Ye Liuqing was sent by Liu Cuilan to take a bath.
It was Ye Jianjun who brought her the bath water.
At this time, Ye Liuqing deeply understood the heroine Shen Liyue's resentment towards her.
That's definitely jealousy.
In the 1970s, it was difficult to fill one’s stomach, let alone get the love of one’s parents.
Which family doesn’t have five or six children?
Ye Dagang and Liu Cuilan loved a daughter so much that they gave birth to three boys in a row before they welcomed a daughter like Ye Liuqing. They almost spoiled Ye Liuqing to the sky.
…
It's late at night.
Lying in bed, Ye Liuqing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Don't ask why.
Ask, I'm just hungry.
Now she finally understood why the original owner was so thin.
I'm hungry.
This girl has a rather peculiar physique. Although she looks thin and small, she is so strong that she can break stones with her bare hands.
Earlier, the reason why the male protagonist saw her naked while she was taking a bath was that the original owner accidentally kicked down the wall of the bathroom.
The male protagonist didn't understand what was going on, so he rushed to save the original owner, which led to the sequel.
Being strong has both advantages and disadvantages.
For example, eating a lot.
She didn't feel full even after eating such a big bowl of sweet potato porridge tonight.
┭┮﹏┭┮
The original owner had been hungry for a long time and had not had enough food to eat, so it would be strange if he was not thin.
Logically speaking, the eldest son of the Ye family, Ye Jianguo, is in the army, and the Ye family still has five able-bodied men, so the family's conditions should be acceptable.
Unfortunately, Ye Liuqing's grandparents were not in good health and fell ill one after another, so they had to go to the hospital every now and then.
Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye had three sons and two daughters.
After the family split up, the two elders did not live with the eldest son Ye Dagang, but instead lived with the second son Ye Dawei. As for the third son Ye Daquan, he worked in a textile factory in the county, and the family of four lived in the county.
It’s hard to say what twists and turns there are.
After all, as a marginal character in the book, he only gets a few brief mentions.
Ye Liuqing's climb from a grassroots to an elite position in investment banking was not based on luck.
It seems that the most important thing now is to fill your stomach first.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Liuqing slowly fell asleep in hunger.
…
The next day, Ye Liuqing didn't wake up until the sunlight shone on her face.
The Ye family was empty.
On the stove, there was a bowl of sweet potato porridge, two cornmeal steamed buns, and a small bowl of pickled vegetables.
This is the breakfast Liu Cuilan left for Ye Liuqing.
Ye Liuqing, who had been hungry all night, washed up and finished his breakfast in just a few bites.
Then, he carried the basket and went to work according to the original owner's memory.
Liu Cuilan and Ye Dagang were reluctant to let the original owner do any heavy work, so they asked the village chief to find her a job that didn't pay much but was easy: cutting grass for pigs.
So Ye Liuqing squatted on the hillside and listened to Liu Chunhua, Qin Sufen and Li Xiujuan, who were picking grass for pigs together, gossiping.
Liu Chunhua: "Do you know? I heard that Shen Zhiqing was kissed several times by Liu Zhiqing yesterday."
Qin Sufen: "What's the big deal? I even saw Liu Zhiqing carrying Shen Zhiqing around the village! Oh my god, that posture looked so intimate."
Li Xiujuan: "Your news is outdated. I heard that Shen Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing were fighting at the village entrance!"
Ye Liuqing lowered his head and concentrated on cutting grass for the pigs.
The main feature is to work and listen to gossip at the same time.
"I heard that there seems to be a letter from above that Shen Zhiqing is going back to the city." Qin Sufen is the second daughter-in-law of the village chief, and she has heard more gossip than others.
