Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"Dad, you're back," Tang Mei tried to suppress the emotion of the original owner who was about to cry. As Tang Mei's father entered the room, she greeted him without caring whether he heard her voice or not.

He raised the basin in his hand and said, "I caught a lot of earthworms today. The chickens at home can eat their fill today."

"Yeah," Tang's father came into the room, and other than that, there was no other response.

Father Tang put down the machete in his hand and washed his hands in the basin on the sink.

"You're back. You must be tired today." Tang's mother, who was in the inner room, heard Tang's father's voice outside and hurried out to greet him. She took off the apron that Tang's father was wearing and shook the silk on it.

"It's okay today. Not too tired. I just finished two baskets. Tomorrow I will go to Team 3 to weave mats," Tang's father said gently to Tang's mother.

"Second brother, don't be too tired. Our family is fine. We are not starving. It's just that the corn in our private plot has not been planted yet. I plan to ask my third brother's wife to help me plant the seedlings."

Tang's father listened to what Tang's mother said and patted her head. "Shuzhen, don't work too hard at home. I'm here outside. Shushu and Meimei can help you at home. I'll talk to my third brother about breeding and seedling planting."

"Brother, let's eat first." As she said that, Tang's mother went to the kitchen and brought out a plate of pickled vegetables and a bowl of rice porridge that was so thick that you could see your reflection in it. Then she served a bowl to Tang's father and Tang Shu respectively.

"Tang Mei, do you want to eat?" Tang's mother stared at Tang Mei's hand with cold eyes as she was about to pick up the bowl and scoop porridge.

"Mom, I haven't eaten for a few days, I..." Tang Mei instinctively shook her hands and whispered, she must eat. But she couldn't finish her words, otherwise it would not fit the original owner's usual timid and weak personality.

"You yourself didn't agree to go to your third uncle's house and chose not to eat. Who can you blame?" Tang's mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Mei without any approval.

"I, I, I agree. If I go to my third uncle's house, I can have a full meal and won't fall down from hunger." Just as Tang Mei finished speaking, three pairs of eyes were staring at her.

After several minutes, Tang's father asked, "Did you faint today?" and put a small piece of sour cowpea into Tang Mei's bowl.

"Eat. It's dry now and every family is having a hard time. Don't blame your mother. She's doing this for your own good." Tang's father said in a serious tone.

Tang Mei didn't take it seriously and continued chewing the salty-sweet cowpeas. They were quite delicious. It would be even better if they could be paired with porridge.

I didn't expect Tang's mother's skill in pickling cowpeas was so good. It's a pity that she will be adopted by someone else and may not be able to eat it.

"Your father is talking to you, why don't you answer him?" Tang's mother said as she tapped Tang Mei with her chopsticks.

"Okay, I get it. I won't blame you. It's all for the family to have enough food and no one to starve to death. I understand." Tang Mei put down her chopsticks, tactically lowered her head and covered her head with a look of grievance.

Tang Mei lowered her head and complained wildly in her heart, "Alas, little Tangmei, little Tangmei, you are really redundant in this family. Why don't you agree to go to your third uncle's house? If you agreed, maybe I would have nothing to do."

"It's good that you know," Tang's mother said to Tang's father, "Second brother, go talk to the third brother after dinner. It's really a good deal for them."

Tang Mei thought to herself, who would get the advantage and who would get the advantage? This was a year of disaster.

In Tang Mei's previous life, she saw many elderly people on TV recalling the past few years. They all said that in many rural villages, the elderly in other people's families tried to eat less or not eat at all for fear of adding burden to the family. Some families were so hungry that they went to the mountains to dig Guanyin soil to eat. Many people on the roadside were staggering as they walked because they were not full.

It’s scary to think about that kind of scene. Your family only has porridge for every meal, and sometimes has dry rice and meat as a base, and you even send your daughter away.

"Well, let's eat. We'll go later." After saying that, Tang's father finished his meal in two bites, put down his chopsticks, got up and went into the inner room.

"Tang Mei, wash the dishes after eating. Don't tire mom out. I have worked a day today. I'm going to take a rest first." Tang Shu finished his meal in two bites and planned to put down his chopsticks and leave.

"it is good"

After dinner, Tang Mei picked up the bowls on the table and put them into a large earthen bowl used for washing dishes. She stepped on a stool and barely reached the gourd spoon in the water tank.

Suddenly, a little girl's figure appeared in the water tank. Her hair, as yellow as Tang Li's, swayed like a withered willow in the wind. On her skinny face, her eyes were surprisingly large, like two bright black gems, embedded in her palm-sized face. Her face was sallow, like a dead leaf in late autumn, and her body was petite, obviously the result of long-term malnutrition.

However, this little girl's face has some of Tang Ma's charm. Her facial features are three-dimensional, neat and delicate, especially her high nose bridge, which is like a finely crafted work of art, much more beautiful than her flat nose in her previous life. And her slightly upturned mouth corners, with a faint smile, like a peach blossom in spring. When she smiles, two dimples appear on her cheeks, as if she was kissed by an angel.

At this moment, her face was slightly pale, like a flower tortured by hunger. But Tang Mei thought that the great famine would soon be over, and as long as she took good care of herself, she would recover. Overall, Tang Mei was quite satisfied with this petite body.
