Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 228: Improving Meals

"Hurry up, go wash your face, you’re covered in sweat, go go!" Lin Xue came out to greet them, trying to hug each one, but she pushed them aside.

Looking at their little faces, they must be exhausted from the day, all tanned, looking skinnier, and seemingly not getting enough to eat.

It broke her heart, her mom was really daring, taking them out for the whole day without coming back.

"Xiao Xue, you’re finally back, Mom’s been worrying about you every day, afraid something might happen on your way!" Wang Cuihua also came over, seeing her pillar of support, the eldest daughter, returning brought tears of joy to her eyes.

"Mom, don’t cry! I came back safe and sound, didn’t I? Hurry inside to wash up and cool down!"

Lin Xue quickly pulled her mom inside, though it was already past five in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching, and due to the prolonged absence of rain, this summer was exceptionally hot, like the kind that could roast a person.

Cracks started to appear in the ground, and even watering the crops was to no avail in such temperatures.

"Wow... it smells so good!" Lin Xia was the first to be pushed in to wash her face, and as soon as she entered, she smelled the aroma, couldn’t help but slurp a bit.

Quickly washing her face and hands, she ran over to lift the lid of the pot, took a look, and wow, finally they could eat rice, no more wild vegetable mush.

"Third sister, watch out that your drool doesn’t fall into the pot!" Lin Shan reminded from the side.

"Shoo shoo shoo! Hurry up and wash, it’s time to eat!" Lin Xia quickly covered the pot lid back and turned to say.

"Third sister, what good food did big sis make for us? I feel like there’s the smell of braised chicken!" Lin Chuan’s foodie nature was not inferior to his third sister’s, he immediately smelled chicken.

"Are you a dog nose, Little Chuan? You sniffed that out!" Lin Xue shook her head, amused.

"Big sis, you don’t know, the braised chicken you make has such a unique taste, I can tell it’s yours just by smelling it." Lin Chuan turned his head, seeing big sis coming over, quickly took credit.

"Alright! Made something delicious for you all! Today you can eat to your hearts’ content! Quickly finish washing up and set the table! Time to eat!" Lin Xue waved her hand, Lin Xia, the first to finish washing, ran off to set the table and serve the dishes.

Meanwhile, she kept muttering, "Belly, oh belly! Big sis is back! Now you’re in luck!" Lin Xue couldn’t help but smile hearing this.

"Xiao Xue..." Wang Cuihua, seeing this scene and smelling the aroma of the dishes, called Lin Xue over.

"Mom, I know what you want to say, but it’s all right, I’m here! Don’t worry!" Lin Xue quickly blocked her worries.

"But look outside, whose family is still eating grains now? Our family eating like this, with meat and rice every day, it’ll soon attract attention!" Wang Cuihua feared her daughter wouldn’t understand, but voiced her concerns anyway.

"Mom, tomorrow I’ll go find the team leader, think of a way for the village to get through this difficulty, besides, our family eating such delicious food is all based on our own ability, without theft or robbery, now it’s a society ruled by law, who can do anything to us? Others can’t eat, should we starve too? If one day others can’t afford clothes, should we strip and run wild too?" Lin Xue knew her mom feared attracting attention, but it’s not a solution, shouldn’t starve themselves because others are hungry.

"You’ll go find the team leader and think of a remedy? What can be done, dear?" Wang Cuihua found Lin Xue’s argument reasonable but questioned her plan.

"Don’t worry about that! Starting tomorrow! Stop picking wild vegetables! The garden’s vegetables should be eaten fresh, not dried out, there’s already so much! Drying so much, can we finish them all? Vegetables are most nutritious when eaten fresh! Look at the children I’ve painstakingly raised, all starved like this? Thankfully Grandma Bai isn’t stealing now, but you shouldn’t keep it from them like this! Bacon will spoil too! Will you eat it when it’s gone bad?" Lin Xue spoke heatedly, her words became a bit heavy.

"Alright! I understand! It’s just that I’m worried others might covet what we have, fear of small thefts and losses! Starting tomorrow, I’ll make sure everyone eats grains, no more wild vegetable mush!" Wang Cuihua addressed all the gathered children.

"Mom, I didn’t mean to blame you... I just, just feel for you, when we have it, why starve yourselves?" Lin Xue seeing her mom like that, felt heartsore, went forward to hug and comfort her.

"I know, I know, my dear daughter is just worried for me!" Wang Cuihua didn’t cry but smiled with relief.

This period, no one knew how terrified and uneasy she felt within, her daughter was her anchor, without her at home, she couldn’t rest easy, worrying about this and that.

With so many children, she felt there was no reliance, only her eldest daughter brought security.

"Yay! Wonderful! Finally no more wild vegetable mush!" The little ones jumped with joy.

"Keep your voices down! Don’t let outsiders know what we’re eating! Never mention it outside! Understand?" Lin Xue quickly reminded them seeing their heedless excitement.

"Yes! Listen to your big sister! Be careful in this troubled year!" Bai Xianglan also came out, with two little ones awake, she carried them both out.

Wang Cuihua quickly took one from her arms, agreeing, "Your big sister is right! Never eat things outside! It’s unsafe!"

"Got it, big sis, we’ll definitely eat at home when hungry!" Xiao Shuang was the first to raise a hand expressing understanding.

"Big sis, maybe we should cook less meat, it’s smell is noticeable outside!" Lin Shan remarked.

"Not eating meat is too painful!" Lin Xia immediately followed up.

"Okay! At home, you can eat whatever, as long as you don’t flaunt it outside! Hurry up and eat!" Lin Xue would not limit herself because others are hungry.

She’s a foodie herself, losing spirit when unable to eat well.

The whole family was excited about the food, while far in the Capital City, Zhang Yuan was worried about meals.

Not because he couldn’t have delicious food, but suddenly realized without the little girl, even meat seemed tasteless. This would last for several years, how could he bear it?

Xiao Feng and Xiao Cai were already able to eat, with several baby teeth emerging.

Unlike future times, kids of this age could drink porridge and were fed some at each meal, though various supplements were absent, they ate along with the adults, at most given soft and mushy food.

So while they ate, the two little ones were placed in the cradle beside, Wang Cuihua and Bai Xianglan each fed them, spoonful by spoonful of rice porridge.

But the two little ones occasionally eyed the chicken plate, drooling.

Lin Xue facepalmed, showing gluttonous nature so young, indeed the pure blood of the Lin Family.

The two little ones were undoubtedly fortunate. While other children went hungry, Wang Cuihua not only had ample milk but also managed to give them thick rice and millet porridge at each meal.
