Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 349 - 347: Still Just a Child

"Thank you! My dear sister!" Qian Guirong felt ashamed for feeling distressed over the millet earlier as she held onto so many big white pancakes.

"Quick, take them to feed the kids! There’s no need to be polite!" Lin Xue shook her head.

"Alright, you guys drink the porridge while it’s hot, and I’ll heat a couple more pancakes for you!" Qian Guirong felt a bit embarrassed holding so many pancakes; there were ten of them in total.

Lin Xue had taken out all the pancakes her grandma had made for them and given them away, as the two of them couldn’t finish them anyway.

"No, no, we have enough with this bowl of porridge, we also ate a bit just now! No need to bring more!" Lin Xue quickly waved her hand.

Qian Guirong was stunned for a moment before realizing that they had already eaten. She wasn’t very good with words and just nodded without saying more.

"Alright then, kids, you go on eating! We’ll head out first!" Mrs. Qi indicated with a gesture for her husband, son, and daughter-in-law to leave, and the four of them took their things and went out.

Once the family had all gone out, the two of them exchanged a glance, realizing that they really couldn’t eat this wild vegetable porridge.

"Why don’t we pour it into the food box first and empty the bowls?" Lin Xue suggested, "I really can’t eat this."

"I’ll eat it! Honey, you eat something else! I’ll take care of these two bowls of porridge!" Zhang Yuan took both bowls. His wife was pregnant, and any unfamiliar taste could make her nauseous and uncomfortable, so he wanted her to eat something she liked.

"Then I’ll get you some chicken legs! Eat them with the porridge!" Lin Xue knew it was a kind gesture from them; though it wasn’t anything substantial, it was the best they could offer! So it really didn’t feel right to waste the two bowls of porridge.

Zhang Yuan nodded and smiled! His wife understood him the best. He also couldn’t stomach the wild vegetable porridge, but with the chicken leg, it wouldn’t be too hard to eat.

The two locked the door, and Lin Xue took out two chicken legs from the space, along with a can of Eight-Treasure Porridge for herself, sipping it happily next to Zhang Yuan, who almost spat out the wild vegetable porridge watching her.

Meanwhile, at the Qi Family’s place, the whole family gathered in the old couple’s room, looking at the things the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had placed on the kang.

"Guirong! You go and heat three pancakes, each of us can have half! With such big pancakes, half is enough to fill us up! Send the remaining seven to your second grandpa’s, third grandpa’s, and uncle’s families! And send two to your mother’s side! It’s not easy for anyone! At least let them have a meal! Cooking it into porridge is enough for one meal!" Mrs. Qi arranged it all, "The remaining two we can keep, and they’ll last two days!"

"Mom..." Qian Guirong was moved to tears. She knew her parents had long run out of food, her little brother had come looking for her, but their family didn’t have much grain left. She had taken it upon herself to give her little brother two handfuls of dried wild vegetables, which she and her mother-in-law had sun-dried and stored last year; they were precious in times of famine.

"Alright! Quickly go and heat the pancakes, then send them over after eating!" Mrs. Qi couldn’t stand the sentimentality, waving her hand.

"Okay! I’m going to heat them now!" Qian Guirong took three pancakes.

Their family, regardless of gender, ate together whenever there was food! Unlike other families, where the food had to go to the laborers first.

After Qian Guirong left, Mrs. Qi took out five of the remaining seven pancakes, storing away the other two in the cupboard.

"Here are some pastries and sugar candies, these we’ll keep for the two little ones. If there’s really nothing left for me to eat, we can dissolve the candy in water for them; it’ll at least fill their stomachs a bit." She addressed the others present.

Initially, she planned to give out a candy to each person, but after the guest brought pancakes, she didn’t want to waste them, and put away the pastries and pancakes, handing a pastry and a candy to her daughter-in-law, not giving any to her own daughter.

"I don’t want it, let it be for my granddaughter! Her little hands are so thin!" The blind old lady sitting on the kang said, tenderly touching her granddaughter’s hand, instructing her daughter-in-law to give the items to her granddaughter Qi Fei.

"Come, Feifei, you and grandma each have one! Feed it to grandma!" Mrs. Qi reluctantly took out another, giving it to her daughter to feed her grandma.

It’s because this mother-in-law had been genuinely kind to her like her own daughter when she was young, making her feel a deep-seated respect.

"Mom, those guests staying over, are they particularly wealthy? To bring out so many pancakes and these pastries and candies!" Qi Fei asked, holding the sweets and pastries her mom had given her, pondering to herself.

In the family, all the sons were straightforward and a bit honest, only knowing how to work, but this little daughter was sharp-minded and full of little ideas.

Mrs. Qi was suspicious as to why her daughter asked this, but still said, "They should be wealthy! Their clothes are not ordinary!"

"And they have such a fast car, it’s the first time I’ve seen a car like that! It’s so advanced!" Qi Lei interjected.

Being the only married child in the family, he had naturally learned to observe over the years of bearing all responsibilities.

"Why are you asking? Don’t go and cause trouble!" Mr. Qi knew his daughter; she was smart but daring, and who knows what mischief she might be up to again.

"Oh, it’s nothing, just asking! Besides, would people without money give away so many things? Just curious!" Qi Fei waved her hand, then went to feed her grandma.

Once the pancakes were heated, each had half, and then made a porridge from the pastries for the big granddaughter, which was simply smashing the pastries and cooking them into a thick, sweet porridge, which tasted pretty nice but would definitely make Lin Xue nauseous if she saw it.

After everyone had finished eating, Qi Fei volunteered to help her sister-in-law tidy up the outer room, leaving Qian Guirong free to tend to her son.

Qi Fei waited here and there, and once her parents were lying down, she quickly slipped out.

When the door of Lin Xue’s room was knocked, the two were just about to sleep.

They didn’t ask who it was, knowing it was family, Zhang Yuan got up to open the door.

Qi Fei quickly slipped in, dodging Zhang Yuan’s attempt to grab her collar, "I’m the youngest daughter here! I mean no harm!" She said, raising her hands in surrender.

Zhang Yuan lowered his hands and quickly went to his wife, who had already sat up.

"Brother, sister, I’m here because I have something to ask of you two! Could you help me?" Qi Fei, though only thirteen, spoke with a maturity beyond her years.

"Sit down," Lin Xue patted the spot next to her.

Qi Fei didn’t hesitate, walked over and sat down, "Sister, you’re so pretty! Your clothes are nice too! You must be from the city, right?"

Lin Xue neither confirmed nor denied, glancing at the little girl, then spoke, "So what is it you want our help with?"

"Sister, does anyone in your family work as an official?" The little girl answered with a question.

Lin Xue shook her head slowly, "No."

"Great!" The little girl finally seemed happy, revealing her childish side, "If there’s no one in your family who’s an official, then you probably won’t report us, right?"

Lin Xue laughed, thinking this little girl was mature beyond her years, but she was still just a child.
