"Ah, that's true, Shitou has had a tough few years."

Zhou Xiuhua thought of this son and her face was truly full of heartache!

According to what her son said, knowledge seemed to have regressed by thirty years!

At that time, all people did was give birth over and over, where was there any talk of contraception?

The poorer people were, the more children they wanted to have. By the time Xiao Wu was born, her body was really not in good shape, because she lost a fetus before Xiao Wu, didn't recover well and then accidentally conceived Xiao Wu, suffering throughout the pregnancy. Back then, Xiao San was just a few years old, nothing but a five-year-old child, who would rather go hungry than not feed her.

At that time, even the mountains were bald, with grass, wild vegetables, tree bark—anything that could be swallowed, actually ended up in people's stomachs. Beyond Qingfeng Mountain was just primeval wilderness.

Xiao San, who was only seven years old, had the heart to venture into it alone! There are still ferocious animals in that mountain to this day, but at that time, Xiao San was lucky; he actually found a place where he occasionally caught some wild rabbits or wild chickens for the family to eat secretly!

This is what kept her and Xiao Wu alive, because the entire Qingshan Team was poor, Xiao San was very shrewd to cook the meat in the deep mountains before bringing it back, thus avoiding a lot of trouble!

In that era, if it weren't for Xiao San's bravery and courage, how could the Old Xie Family have seen the prosperity it has today?

How many people in the whole Qing Mountain Team died because there was no food? Basically, all died of hunger or from eating Guanyin Soil... Especially those children, young and with weak stomachs, eating dirt, how could they have survived!

The eldest daughter-in-law, having married into the family early, also received help from Xiao San and understood his contributions the best. She managed both home and external relations well, and the elder sister also married into the town because of Xiao San; the couple is harmonious, and it's because Xiao San is a military officer in the military!

"Of course, those who join the military are all national heroes!" Zhang Shan Ni replied as a matter of course.

"Ah, San Ni's words are so true!" Hearing the admiring words of her future Third Son's Wife, Zhou Xiuhua immediately smiled happily.

"Mother, what are we having for our main meal tonight?" She was new to the family and really didn't know how the Xie Family used to eat.

Although food wasn't as scarce as it was in the fifties or sixties, farmers still did not dare to eat their fill. From the original host's memories, the Zhang Family ate twice a day, and if it wasn't the busy farming season, it was usually thin porridge all day.

According to the original host's memory, this side of the Qing Mountain Team was still okay. Backed by the mountains, those who dared to risk their lives had something to eat. Plus, with distinct seasons, the diet was mostly coarse grains and sweet potatoes, and better-off households could afford to eat old rice—a sign of a good family!

Zhou Xiuhua, hearing her new daughter-in-law's question, suddenly remembered she hadn't started the sweet potato porridge. She busily began to prepare it while saying, "For the next few days, you watch how I do it. Once you get used to the new life, you can take over."

To cook sweet potatoes at this time, one does not peel them! Having experienced the apocalypse, Zhang Shan Ni found nothing strange, and seeing her mother-in-law picking through the rice, she washed the sweet potatoes one by one, after asking if they should be cut into small cubes, she deftly started chopping.

"Mother, I'll do the rest!" Together they poured the old rice and sweet potatoes into the big pot, while Zhou Xiuhua measured and poured water into the stove's big pot, Zhang Shan Ni had already started the fire. She added firewood and stirred the sweet potato porridge from time to time.

Zhou Xiuhua silently nodded to herself, Zhang Shan Ni indeed had a reputation for being capable. Even though the name under which she married wasn't very pleasant to hear, the fact that she was a good person, and reputations couldn't be eaten like food. As long as she was reliable, Zhou Xiuhua was happy!
