The oxcart swayed all the way back to the village. Along the way, the good-natured aunt was poking her head to look at Shen Changqing's backpack, but no one dared to come forward anymore. Shen Changqing ignored them, and the village chief's wife next to her lowered her voice. He raised his voice and got together with Shen Changqing, "Ignore those short-sighted people. A group of women with nothing to do. They only want to see if other people have good things."

Shen Changqing smiled, only replied "I know what I know" and then stopped talking. The oxcart was bumpy and uncomfortable. Fortunately, I didn't have time to eat at noon, otherwise I would have vomited it!

The oxcart stopped at the entrance of the village. After getting off the oxcart, the village chief's wife and another woman walked home with Shen Changqing.

"This is your Aunt Guihua." The village chief's wife introduced Shen Changqing to the woman who was going home with her. "Nothing big or small in the village can be hidden from him. Her man is the accountant of our brigade. Your Aunt Guihua is also a warm-hearted person. Her son Xiao Huzi and your little Douding are also playmates."

Shen Changqing understood the underlying meaning and greeted Aunt Osmanthus sweetly. She took out a few pieces of fruit candies from her pocket and handed them over, "Auntie, take them home and make them sweet." Auntie Osmanthus pushed Shen Changqing's hand holding the candies and refused to take any of them, "Qing girl, how old are you? Now, can I still compete with you children for candy? Take it back quickly!"

"Auntie, please take it. Little Huzi always takes care of Douding. Take it home and give it to Little Huzi."

"Her aunt, just accept this candy. Let your man take care of Girl Qing in the future." The village chief's wife persuaded, and Zhang Guihua accepted the candy. "Okay, Girl Qing, when you are well, Ask your uncle to arrange an easy job for you."

"Then thank you Aunt Osmanthus."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Guihua took Shen Changqing's hand affectionately and told the village chief's wife about Uncle Shen who drove the bullock cart, "This cow belongs to your Uncle Shen himself. His family lives at the end of the village, around the corner." We turned into an alley, and at the end was his house. No one in the family was there. Your Uncle Shen was injured a few years ago and couldn't work in the fields, so the village arranged for him to raise a cow. I pull this cow every now and then to earn some money to buy some food. Sigh, life is not easy." The village chief's wife was talking to Shen Changqing about the village affairs, and Shen Changqing listened very seriously. Before she traveled through time, she only had a rough idea. She remembered some plots in the book, but she didn't know anything about Shen Changqing's death in the book, and she didn't know much about everyone. Now that someone was willing to tell her, of course she was happy.

"Third Grandma, how come Uncle Shen's family doesn't get it?"

"Hey, this is a long story." Aunt Guihua patted Shen Changqing's hand with a sad look on her face, "It's not that the times are bad, there was a famine in the past six years, and six members of your Uncle Shen's family fled the famine. Coming to us is your life. You can chew tree bark, eat grass, eat Guanyin soil, and drink dirty water from the ditches. All the way from Nanshi to our black market, we were also in short supply of food at that time, but our mountains are so good. Yeah, there are wild vegetables, mushrooms and fungus on the mountain. The people in the village relied on this mountain to avoid starving to death. Now they have food and a way to survive. But this man only lived for three more days. They all died, and you are the only one left. Uncle Shen himself, the little girl was only four years old when she died. She was so thin that she had no appearance. When the little girl came, I took a look and her face was sallow and she had no energy left. The second one came. The sky is dead. If you eat this Guanyin soil and tree bark, you won’t be able to poop, and you will be suffocated to death!”

"This old Shen also had a bad life. His relatives passed away one after another. He was also seriously ill and was about to die, but then he recovered somehow. After waking up, he sat in a daze for a day. Later, the village chief I discussed with the big guys to let him raise a cow and make a living, and then I had some hope. I have been living in our village for many years, and I have never said a word except telling the bullock cart to wait for no one." Aunt Osmanthus was talking about sighing, which made Shen Changqing think of that scene.

"Auntie, this is really not easy for Uncle Shen."

"you do not say."

Hearing these things, Shen Changqing felt really sad. It was really hard during the famine, and death was even more common. As a modern person, Shen Changqing had never experienced the pain of not being able to eat, but he also thought that in his original world, he had so much to eat. Leftovers, things you don't like, and half-eaten fruits will be thrown away, because no one has experienced famine, and no one knows what it feels like to be hungry without food. Hey, Shen Changqing secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely Cherish the life you have now.

After saying goodbye to the village chief's wife and Aunt Guihua, Shen Changqing returned home. As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Douding ran back and helped Shen Changqing unload his backpack, "Sister, what did you buy?"

"Little greedy cat, my sister bought you delicious food, and also bought fabrics to make clothes for you and your parents." Shen Changqing said as he took out something, a two-kilogram pork belly, a five-kilogram bag of rice, Four apples, a pack of peach crisps, a pack of White Rabbit toffee, two cans of yellow peaches, two cans of malted milk, a can of luncheon meat, a handful of chocolates, two bacon sausages, and a glass bottle Soybean oil, and some seasonings.

Every time Shen Changqing took out something, Xiao Douding's eyes lit up until everything was taken out. Little Douding was almost flying with joy, "Sister, is this a treasure chest?" Little Douding clapped her hands excitedly.
