Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 142: The Sold Daughter 6

"My granddaughter is so well-behaved. Come on, grandma will wash your hair." Granny Qian smiled, her eyes forming crescents, as she took the little girl’s hand and headed to the courtyard.

Then she called out to the grandsons trailing behind her, "You little rascals, hurry to the pond and wash yourselves clean. Covered in mud again, you must have gone to play at the back mountain, right?"

"Grandma, we went to gather pigweed."

Of course, they also dug a trap on the side.

Granny Qian chuckled, "Don’t try to fool me. Who gets covered in dirt just gathering pigweed? Off you go, don’t delay me washing Yuan Chun’s hair."

The three boys laughed mischievously and dashed away.

Yuan Chun was washed clean from head to toe by her foster mother and grandmother and dressed in the clothes and shoes from her foster mother’s childhood.

Yuan Chun was too thin, making the clothes look a bit loose.

Qian Xiaoying thought about altering them.

Granny Qian said, "Don’t bother altering it. Let Yuan Chun wear it as is for now. We need to nourish her well, and once she gains some weight, the clothes will fit just right. It would be a shame to cut them now."

When her daughter was young, fabric and clothes didn’t require fabric coupons, so she bought her plenty. Now fabric and clothes both require fabric coupons, and even with money, without the coupons, one can’t buy clothes.

Nowadays, fabric and clothes are precious.

Qian Xiaoying, "Then we won’t alter them. Mom, aren’t you going to work this afternoon?"

"Not going, I took the afternoon off to spend quality time with my granddaughter."

As Granny Qian spoke, she pulled out a handful of peanuts from her pocket and stuffed them into Yuan Chun’s hands, "Yuan Chun, these are the peanuts newly distributed by the production team this year, for you to eat."

"Thank you, grandma."

"Oh, my granddaughter is so polite."

Granny Qian hugged her tight, feeling delighted.

In the evening, because of Yuan Chun’s arrival, both the Ge and Qian families gathered at the Ge family to eat. Her grandfather, uncle, aunt, and three brothers all gave her welcome gifts.

In return, Yuan Chun secretly gave them each a gift as well.

Seeing Qian Xiaoying heading to wash the rice, she took over the task, secretly adding two pounds of brown rice and discreetly crushing two Revitalizing Pills into the pot.

It’s not that she didn’t want to give white rice, but Qian Xiaoying was only cooking sweet potato and brown rice congee.

Hang City had a lot of rain and wasn’t affected by drought, but it suffered from floods, reducing the early grain yield by nearly half. Villagers didn’t even get enough early grain to fill half their bellies, yet they still had to endure hunger while working.

Seeing her foster parents and the Qian family looking so pale, Yuan Chun felt pained, prompting her secret act of feeding them Revitalizing Pills.

Once bowls of porridge were served at the table, Granny Qian scolded Qian Xiaoying, "Are you not planning on living a good life? The porridge is so thick; if we run out of grain, what will you use to support my granddaughter?"

Qian Xiaoying looked puzzled, "Mom, it’s all the grain Dad brought over. I only added two small handfuls of rice."

Granny Qian said no more, assuming the old man had deliberately brought more rice.

At mealtime, Ge Sangen smacked his lips, saying, "Tonight’s porridge is especially tasty, as if there’s sugar in it."

Granny Qian smiled, "It must be because Yuan Chun has come to our home, we’re in such high spirits, everything tastes sweet." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Old Man Qian added, "This porridge is indeed delicious. Today I was assigned to dig ditches, heavy work, yet after a few sips of porridge, I feel like my fatigue has lessened considerably."

"Grandpa, then have some more; there’s still porridge in the pot."

Yuan Chun flashed a toothy smile.

After the meal, both families’ spirits were replenished by the Revitalizing Pills, feeling much more spirited and clearer-headed, even their steps became lighter.

No one thought too much of it, believing that Yuan Chun’s visit had lifted the metaphorical stone off their hearts, causing the change in their bodies.
