The two settled down, and although their life was poor, they had a good relationship and were happy with their life, otherwise they would not have had so many children.

Gu Dingbei was a capable man. Every time he went up the mountain he would bring back some prey, including pheasants, rabbits, and even a tiger once.

Gu Dingbei rushed to the city to sell the tiger and got a lot of silver. After returning, he built a large wooden house for Shen Lianxin.

By the way, they clearly lived in a wooden house, and Gu Dingbei would bring back some prey from time to time, and go to the city to exchange it for money to buy food and a hairpin for Shen Lianxin. How come it has become this shabby thatched house now?

"Mom, drink some water." Several little bean sprouts moved together, ran in happily, and carefully brought her water.

Shen Lianxin's memory was interrupted. She looked at the children and smiled, "Thank you Chengxin." Then she took the water and started drinking.

The water in Yunshan Village is so refreshing and sweet that it is incomparable to the tap water in modern cities. It is cold and sweet, and cools the heart and lungs. Shen Lianxin felt better, but she saw the bean sprouts looking at each other in bewilderment.

Gu Chengxin looked at Gu Chengan as if to ask, did I hear correctly, mother just said thank you to me. Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing nodded at him, indicating that they heard correctly, that's what they heard too. They were all confused. Ever since Dad passed away, mother had been crazy every day, beating and scolding them, never had a good face for a day. Today, she actually smiled at them and said thank you to him.

Gu Chengxin felt like crying, but couldn't believe it.

"Mom, are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

"You cook?" Shen Lianxin asked curiously. An 8-year-old child can cook. In her opinion, an 8-year-old is just a little kid who has just entered the second grade of elementary school. She doesn't understand how an 8-year-old child can cook for her.

"Yes! I have been cooking for the past two years. I will be ready soon." Gu Chengxin nodded and said seriously, then gave instructions, "The third son, go get some firewood, the second son, help me light the fire, and we will go cook for mom."

Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing nodded, and the little ones ran out in a hurry. The youngest, Gu Chengzhen, also followed.

Shen Lianxin found it funny. She was such a grown-up and wanted an 8-year-old child to cook for her. She really wasn't so shameless. She thought about getting up to take a look, but found that she was weak all over. She moved several times before she could barely stand up.

This body is really too weak. He is thin and weak, with soft limbs. I don’t know how long he has been lying in bed. His stomach is rumbling, and I’m afraid it’s not because he is hungry.

Shen Lianxin had no choice but to sit back, as she was afraid that she would faint if she got too excited.

After a while, Gu Chengxin came over with a bowl of black soup, "Mom, you eat."

Shen Lianxin took the bowl and took a look at this dark dish. Is this edible? Will she eat it again?

"What is this?" Shen Lianxin asked.

"Mom, this is wild vegetable porridge. It's delicious. I also put rice in it." Gu Chengxin said confidently. Several children looked at it eagerly and heard some of their stomachs rumbling.

Shen Lianxin frowned, "You didn't eat? Why not eat?"

"Mom, we're not hungry, you eat!" As he spoke, Gu Chengxin's stomach made a gurgling sound.

Shen Lianxin found it funny, but she didn't give them the porridge in her hand, because only when she had the strength could she cook for them.

Since she had come to this world and accepted the body of the original owner, she would help fulfill the original owner's obligations. As for the original world, she was afraid she could not go back.

Shen Lianxin took a sip and it was indeed dark cuisine. It was the most disgusting thing she had ever eaten in her life. The taste was indescribable, it smelled like boiled water from old tree bark. Gu Chengxin said that rice was added, but Shen Lianxin emptied the bowl to the bottom and found no trace of rice grains.

After drinking it with gritted teeth, they finally had some strength. The little ones were still staring at each other. They looked at the sky outside. The sun had set behind the mountain and there were fiery clouds on the horizon.

Not to mention, the scenery in this mountain is really nice. Shen Lianxin walked outside and the air was exceptionally fresh. She took a deep breath and moved her body. She felt much better.

"Have you guys not had dinner yet?"

"Mom, we've eaten. We ate at noon." It was Gu Chengxin who answered all the time. The rest of the little ones just nodded timidly and didn't dare to talk to her.

Have you eaten at noon? What about at night? These little ones don't eat only once a day, do they? No wonder the 8-year-old children look like 6-year-olds, with big heads and small bodies. They are obviously malnourished.

"Do you only eat one meal a day?" Shen Lianxin couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.

Several little ones nodded. Shen Lianxin felt sad, thinking about her son in the 21st century, who had no worries about food and drink, a house full of toys, various interest classes, and happily called his mother.

Since she has become the mother of these children, she must feed them well. Unable to bear it, Shen Lianxin walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen is not big, but it is tidy. It seems that Gu Chengxin, this little guy, is really good at his job. He opened the rice jar and found that there was only a little rice left at the bottom of the jar. That's it? I'm afraid it's not enough for several children to eat.

No wonder they didn't eat, it turned out they had nothing to eat. Shen Lian thought, eat first, then think of a way tomorrow. With her advanced knowledge and vision in the 21st century, she would be able to make it in this world, and she would not be unable to raise a few bean sprouts.

Thinking about this, Shen Lianxin picked up the small basin and began to take out the rice. She scraped the bottom of the jar again and again, and tilted the jar to try to pour out all the rice grains. A few little kids saw her actions and asked hurriedly, "Mom? What are you going to do?"

Shen Lianxin finally poured all the rice into the basin and began to pour water to wash the rice. She looked back at the frightened eyes of the few little ones and said puzzledly, "I cooked for you, what's wrong?"

The little ones looked at each other, then knelt on the ground with a thud. The youngest, Gu Chengzhen, started crying, "Mom, please don't waste all the rice. We can not eat it, but my little sister is still young and growing. This rice was given to us by Aunt Zhang next door out of pity. If it's all wasted, my little sister will starve to death!"

Several children burst into tears. Shen Lianxin didn't understand how eating would be a waste. But thinking back to the past, the original owner had hardly taken care of the children over the years. If they had food, they would eat. If they didn't, they would run back to their parents' house to eat. Although they were not welcomed, the original owner was thick-skinned and couldn't drive them away. After all, they were all flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so she gave them food.

But these children have survived to this day because of the food they were given out of pity by the villagers. However, in this poor and remote area, every family is not rich and they can't even get enough to eat. Those who can have two meals a day are considered to be living well. How could they get any extra food for relief?
