I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 229 Poor Child

The time flow rate between Ziyuan and the outside world is 24:1, that is, when one full day passes outside, twenty-four days pass in Ziyuan.

So no matter what it is, it will reproduce and grow very quickly. There is plenty of supplies in the garden, and there are also bubble balls that she accumulates every day. Every time she opens them, she will get a lot of supplies.

But I can’t eat meat, but eggs are okay.

Although she had let the pheasants incubate eggs yesterday, she hadn't touched the pheasant eggs they had laid before.

The pheasant king was being strictly followed through on his orders, asking his pheasant minions to hatch eggs. She asked, "Where are the eggs laid by the pheasants? How many infertile eggs are there?"

The Pheasant King reported truthfully: "In the past year or so, a total of more than 100,000 eggs have been laid, of which more than 50,000 are fertilized eggs, and 35,712 have been successfully hatched, leaving more than 70,000 infertile eggs."

Zhang Chengyuan was shocked when she heard this number. She had only ignored them for more than half a month, but the pheasants had grown to such a large number.

After sighing for a moment, she stopped caring and said, "Bring me a hundred eggs."

She didn't take them all out, she smuggled a dozen or so into her basket, covered them with pig grass, and continued to work.

When Dabao and his friends were all carrying their pointed backpacks, she would go home with them to have lunch.

I went there late today, and when I came back, my grandparents had already returned for dinner.

Zhang Chengyuan immediately ran to show her grandmother the pheasant eggs she had brought back, and asked for boiled eggs in sugar water for dinner in the evening. As expected, she was rejected, so she immediately changed her request and asked for boiled eggs for dinner in the evening.

After the lion’s generous request the first time, the second request was easily granted.

After dinner, grandma called Liu Ya and her and asked them to take their younger brothers to the fields in the afternoon to pick up some food that was accidentally left behind.

From the memories left in his body, Zhang Chengyuan knew that this was something he did every year.

The current grain production is not particularly high, so farmers are reluctant to waste any grain, but grains of sorghum, wheat, etc. will always fall off during the harvest.

This was also the time of harvest, and the adults had to harvest the crops in time to prevent all the grains from falling off due to taking too long to mature.

Therefore, if they don't have time to pick up the grains one by one, they will ask the children at home who cannot provide much labor to pick them up.

In recent years, Miao Qiya is the main labor force and she goes there every year.

After lunch break, Liu Ya was ready to go at any time. When her younger brothers saw her, she pulled them and shouted to follow her.

Zhang Chengyuan followed passively, yawned quietly again, and secretly thought about finding a place to relieve herself later.

When they reached the edge of the field, Liu Ya handed her a small basket and led her into her own harvested sorghum field, where she squatted and carefully looked for sorghum rice.

Zhang Chengyuan followed suit and started searching slowly. Her eyes became sore after looking for so long, but when she looked up, she saw several children searching in every harvested field, so she had to lower her head and continue.

After finally picking up the pieces of land in one area, she was forced to move on to the next area before she even had a break.

She really didn't want to do it anymore, but seeing that the two youngest, Sibao and Wubao, were still searching very seriously, she had no choice but to continue.

By the end of a field, she hadn't even picked up half of the grass in her little basket. There was no way she could fill it up this afternoon.

Suddenly she discovered that two children with big heads and small bodies had come to the field where she had just picked up the trash.

She was curious and found out that the two children were exiled here two years ago. They had no money and power, and their only relative, their father, was seriously ill. They had no money to buy food and could only live on wild vegetables. Now that the sorghum harvest was good, they waited for others to pick it up, and then they would look for some staple food to bring home.

Although Zhang Chengyuan felt a little sorry for them, she couldn't help much given her current condition, but she could still give them a handful of sorghum later.

Don’t even think about the supplies in Ziyuan. She hasn’t even enjoyed them herself, so how could she give them to outsiders first, especially in front of her own brothers and sisters? Is she afraid that she won’t be exposed fast enough?

She is now the poor Qiya of the Miao family!
As for the silent help, she is not a good person and doesn't want to do anything. After going through so many worlds, she understands one thing: if you want to show favor, you have to make people remember who has shown favor to you, otherwise you will be innocently caught in the crossfire and don't know why.

Although she didn't necessarily want anyone to repay her, she also didn't want others to take credit for her work and then suffer revenge.

Finally, the sky gradually darkened. She looked at Liu Ya expectantly and saw that she was finally planning to go back.

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't wait to get up and follow. Liu Ya walked out of the field and walked on the ridge. When she was about to pass by the two poor children, Liu Ya changed her pace and walked towards them.

She didn't say anything, but silently grabbed two handfuls of sorghum and put them in their baskets.

Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for just a moment, and Sibao, Wubao and others gave each of them a handful or two of sorghum. She immediately followed suit, grabbed two handfuls of sorghum for the two of them and left.

Listening to their constant words of thanks, she couldn't help but glance at Liu Ya, then turned back to look at the two poor children.

In just a few breaths, she pieced together the cause from the identification.

When the father and his two sons were exiled, they were as emaciated as skin and bones, but not as horrible as they are now.

There were almost no rich people in the village, and when they felt sorry for the three people, they would help them from time to time.

Fortunately, the three of them recovered soon, and the father of the two children refused everyone's help and worked hard to raise the two children.

But the good times didn't last long. The exile had left him with a chronic illness that would relapse from time to time, and each relapse would cost him half his life.

As time went on, everyone became less wealthy and gradually could no longer afford to help each other, so their family simply ran out of food.

Everyone wanted to pretend not to see it, but the two kids were so pitiful, so someone started it first.

Whenever the crops ripened, the family of the farm where the two children picked up crops would give them some.

Gradually, the two children figured out the trick and stopped picking up food from the same people's fields. They waited until the other children had picked up food before they started, and they only went to one family at a time.

Although there is less food in this way, it is continuous and endless.

Of course, they are not just waiting for others' charity. Whenever they have time, they go up the mountain to look for food.

So, even though they looked terribly hungry, they still managed to survive.

After learning about their story, Zhang Chengyuan sighed and said that they were lucky, and then forgot about it.

About four or five days later, the chicks she had been waiting for for a long time hatched.

As soon as she woke up in the morning, she heard a faint and tender chirping sound. She ran over happily to confirm and counted more than 20 pheasant eggs. She found that more than ten chicks had been hatched.

She couldn't wait to tell her grandmother the news because she was still thinking about eating chicken.
