Chapter 2 Part1
T/N: I hope y’all like this story. I know it doesn’t have a lot of the common elements of a transmigration novel, but I think it’s a cute story. 🙂 It didn’t have very high rating on Novelupdates.com. :'( But haters are always going to hate, hate, hate, hate. I still insist that it is a very cute story. It’s a fast read and relatively easy to translate. 😀

Why did dad got beaten up, the younger brothers and sister couldn’t answer. Cheng Xiao Xiao was too scared to ask mom, who’d been crying all day long every day.
The most important beam of the house had collapsed, and Mrs. Cheng had been crying day in and day out. The four siblings had been doing everything that they could muster.
Cheng Xiao Xiao had further found out from her siblings that she was injured while trying to save their dad and had been in a coma. Cheng Xiao Xiao, who had the same name, came from a much later time line had somehow taken her spot and become this Cheng Xiao Xiao.
“Big sister! Dinner is ready!” The little body of Lan Lan came through the curtain, shouting at Cheng Xiao Xiao who was zoning out.
The zoned out Cheng Xiao Xiao was brought back to reality. She forced a smile on herself, picked up her sister’s hand and walked out of their room.
A simple yard, four straw houses, this was Cheng Xiao Xiao’s house.
Inside the yard was a crude table and four stool. On top of the table was 5 crudely-made, steamy bowls. Lan Lan pulled from her grip and ran over to the table.
Mrs. Cheng was just coming out from the kitchen with a few corn buns in her hand. She should “Be careful, Lan Lan!” when she saw her running.
“Mom!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao, as she walked over and took the plate from Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng smiled at her, then turned her attention to the three sitting kids, “You guys start, I am going to bring some food for your dad.”
“Mom, you sit and eat. I can take this to dad.”
Mrs. Cheng turned back into the kitchen after she finished talking, Cheng Xiao Xiao sat down at the table.
A bowl of porridge that was so clear you could almost see the bottom of the bowl, a few corn buns. This was all the food for their entire day. They ate two meals a day, once in the day time, once at night. That’s all the food they had.
All the kids sat there in an orderly fas.h.i.+on. Even though they were a poor family, Cheng Xiao Xiao had noticed that every one of them had great mannerism, like they were from the n.o.ble cla.s.s.
Without any memories from the past, Cheng Xiao Xiao merely made a mental note of this observation.
Looking at the starving siblings, each and every one of them were the skinny type,Cheng Xiao Xiao had mixed emotions. Half a month ago she had more delicacies than she could eat, now all she could eat are these extremely simple food.
“Why haven’t you guys started eating yet?”
Mrs Cheng, who just came out from the house, saw the kids waiting for her and gave a smile of comfort. She walked toward the seat reserved for her and sat down.
“Mom, how’s dad?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was starting to get used being around her new family, but mother was the primary caretaker for dad, so she has yet to meet him.
The subject of her injured husband replaced the smile on her face with bitterness, lightly she replied, “Your dad’s injury was quite extensive, never mind the face that we can’t have a doctor to come and check on him, we can’t even provide him with enough nutrients, how could he recover like this?”
Nutrients?
Cheng Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded. Now she recalled having a hard-boiled egg the first day she’d woken up, allegdedly that was borrowed from a villager of Willow Village. This family was truly poverty-stricken.
She sighed and thought to herself, wouldn’t it be nice if she has her QQ Farm with her? She’d be able to raise chicken, ducks, and rabbits.
Right when she thought about that, a mechanical voice ranged in her head, “Host has QQ dimension, run?”
QQ dimension?
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened suddenly, her body started shaking uncontrollably. Right at this moment, she almost jumped up from the stool, she was beyond ecstatic!
Chapter 2 Part2
“Xiao Xiao, what’s the matter?” Mrs. Cheng had noticed the sudden change in her daughter.
Her siblings who were just about to start eating looked at her after hearing what their mother had said. Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn’t possibly explain to them, “Mom, you start eating, I will be back!”
She didn’t wait for Mrs. Cheng’s response before she went back inside her own house.
“What is up with her?” Mrs. Cheng was a bit worried, but looking at the three starving kids in front of her, she said to them, “Start eating, save a bun for your older sister!”
After entering her house, Cheng Xiao Xiao sat crossed legs on the bed, she was about to pa.s.s out from this great news. She tried her best to calm herself and thought in her mind, “Enter dimension!”
In the next second, in the blink of an eye, she saw in front of everything the way she’d remember from QQ farm – the same hut, fields for plowing, ponds.
For real, this is real, Cheng Xiao Xiao was so happy she was jumping up and down. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.
So long as she has this dimension, she can face any obstacles!
She finally started calming down after a long while.
Looking at the 10 plowed fields in front of her, she was baffled. “I thought QQ Farm starts out with 6 fields?”
“Replying host: the host’s farm is of upgraded dimension, and starts with 10 fields.”
“That’s fantastic!” Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t care about whether it was upgraded or not, as long as it was beneficial to her.
Suddenly her stomach started to grumble. Cheng Xiao Xiao noticed that she had barely eaten and was starving to death. She didn’t even give it a second thought but ran straight to the fields and pulled out a ripe white radish. She then ran over to the pond, the fish-less pond was so clear you could almost see the bottom. She rinsed the white radish in the pond and bit into it.
The white radish was crisp and sweet, it didn’t take her very long to finish the entire one. She didn’t feel hunger any more. She sighed, “After playing QQ farm all these years, I could finally eat the food from the farm.”
She went back to the field and scanned the 10 fields. She frowned, did she have to harvest them all by herself?
“Replying host: host can control with her mere thought!” said a voice from the system.
“Excellent!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was ecstatic. That’s amazing that she could control it that way, she thought in her head, “Harvest the white radis.h.!.+”
All the white radishes from the fields disappeared immediately. Cheng Xiao Xiao paused for a second, but suddenly thought of something else, “Where’s the marketplace, warehouse, and tools?”
“Replying host: host can find them all inside the little house!”
Little house?
A somewhat hopeful Cheng Xiao Xiao entered the little house. The approximately 30 sq ft house was made up of a room and a small living room along with some simple wooden furniture.
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s attention was drawn to a monitor built into the living room wall, it looked very similar to a computer screen. On the display she could see the marketplace, warehouse, etc.
She clicked on the arrow that says warehouse, there were nothing other than the 50 white radishes. She then clicked on the marketplace. It has the options of carrots, white radishes, and hay. She immediately picked white radishes. After all, she wasn’t sure if the people there have seen carrots before.
She reseeded the fields with white radishes and went to the farm. She saw two chickens in the warehouse already. She was overjoyed. With these, she would be able to provide her dad with some nutrients.
She purchased 5 more chickens to raise and was just about to stroll through the farm when when she noticed someone entering her house.
“Big sister, what are you doing sitting on the bed? Go eat, the porridge and buns are all cold!”
