Chen Shuang has been through this before, after all.

She covered her mouth and laughed, "Second sister, you don't understand. You won't understand this feeling if you haven't been in a relationship."

You'll understand when you start dating.

Chen Yifei said, "That's true. Second sister, you're a single dog, don't talk nonsense."

"Kids who don't have partners don't understand why I'm laughing."

Chen Xue clenched her fists, surprised that Chen Yifei had looked down on her.

No, I have to get my way as the older sister.

So the two of them started fighting again, just like when they were little. There's no doubt that siblings often fight from childhood to adulthood.

They always fight to the death, constantly making and breaking rules without any logic, just fighting randomly and going crazy at will.

Amidst playful banter, the family gathered under the kerosene lamp for a cozy dinner.

Everything was neat and tidy, and I felt happy and joyful!

Chen Shuang still wore a worried expression in a corner. However, with so many things going on at home, she didn't know how to bring up her own problems.

Let's talk about it later...

Chen Jianguo rarely spoke more than a few words: "Putting everything else aside, the commune officials came over today. They said a lot to me, the brigade leader, saying that I have courage and ability, and that I can also act bravely for a just cause. I'm not simple."

“Yifei, this change is not easy. Before, Dad always had to clean up your messes when you complained. Now it’s all praise.”

Others might not think much of it, but Chen Jianguo, who watched Chen Yifei grow up, did.

I was deeply moved: "This child has suddenly grown up. Before, I thought he would never mature."

Chen Yifei also sighed, recalling the regrets and all sorts of outrageous things he had done in his previous life.

It will be alright, everything will be alright in the future.

Chen Jianguo said, "Yifei, I know you've grown up and have your own ideas about things. But I still want to hear your explanation about the withered grass at our house."

“Lately, everyone in the village has been saying that our family has gone mad. They think we’ve got a useless piece of land, like a cesspool. It’s a place that yields no harvest, what are you going to do with it?”

“When we built our house over there, it was spacious, but we had no neighbors left. What was the point of building a house there all alone?”

"I was thinking you would tell us, but now I have to ask you myself."

Chen Jianguo was furious just thinking about it. The household responsibility system had just been implemented, and everyone was supposed to be allocated their own farmland. Land is for life; farming it is uncertain, and how it's used in the future is a family matter.

It's unclear whether farmland or residential land is better or worse, let alone how to choose the better option. However, having more of both is definitely better.

Now things are much better; their son, Chen Yifei, has already made the decision for them.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

In public, they gave their son plenty of face, saying that the whole family supported him.

But we still need to ask clearly now.

Chen Yifei couldn't explain that this place would later turn into a mineral vein.

It would be even more difficult to tell him that he was reborn and experienced everything. Otherwise, his whole family would think he was mentally ill.

Chen Yifei said, "Mom and Dad, I have my own plans. When we have our own house, we'll make it bigger, and if we have enough time, we can set up a breeding farm."

"Things have been loosened up a lot now. Our family can start a pig farm. Pork is so expensive now, and it's so difficult for everyone to buy pigs. Looking at the development trends in the newspaper, maybe we won't need coupons to buy things in the future."

"Will we be able to sell our own pigs then? Even if we use meat coupons, does the supply and marketing cooperative not prefer our own homegrown pigs?"

"But that's all in the future. Mom and Dad, just trust me, I'm confident I can make money from this land."

If he had said something like that before, his whole family would have thought he was a reckless scoundrel, but now, he has made such a promise.

With that, Chen Jianguo and Zhang Cuizhi understood the situation.

The whole family should give their full support.

At this moment, the educated youth settlement was already in an uproar.

Wang Jianshe and several other male and female educated youths, eager to try their hand at mushrooms, got up in the middle of the night and went up the mountain to collect six or seven large snakeskin bags full of mushrooms.

Working together, the educated youth have been in the village for so long and are quite capable of enduring hardship.

In addition, the mornings have been quite humid these past few days, with lots of dew, and it rained in the middle of the night, making it easier to find mushrooms.

Several large snakeskin bags were packed into them.

Wang Jianshe was very satisfied: "The mushrooms we found are big and good, no worse than Chen Yifei's."

"The quality will definitely be better than his. I'll take it to the county to sell later."

"Just wait and see how much money you make!"

He stood with his hands on his hips, not even having made any money yet, but already planning how he would spend it once he did…

A group of people hurriedly found an oxcart in the village to help transport the goods over.

Wang Jianshe was beaming all the way; he hadn't even succeeded yet, but he was already acting like a successful person.

He taught the uncle who pulled the oxcart how to make money and told others the ways of doing business.

Finally, they arrived at the state-run restaurant. The uncle unloaded his mushrooms, placing them in bags on the ground. Afterward, he collected the money and quickly drove away in his oxcart. He felt that this educated youth, Chen, was somewhat problematic!

Wang Jianshe stood swaggering in front of the state-run restaurant. He was standing right in front of their kitchen.

Seeing that they were already arranging baskets of mushrooms, it was clear that Chen Yifei had already been there...

These mushrooms were not large, and many were not as plump as the ones their fellow educated youth had found.

Pointing with some disdain, he said, "I have better mushrooms here. You can buy mine from now on."

"My stuff is good, but the price is a bit higher than the one I came to before."

The sales clerk came over, holding a stick, and blocked his way, saying, "Sir, if you're sick, go get treatment. Don't come to our kitchen to interfere."

"This is a state-run restaurant. If you're not going to eat here, please leave."

Wang Jianshe frowned: "Is this your attitude? You're going to drive away the God of Wealth with your insults. What kind of people are you?"

"Bullshit sales clerk! I sell mushrooms. That guy who came in just now wasn't even half as good as me."

That's when he started cursing and swearing.

The head chef came out, somewhat disdainfully saying, "We've had enough. We don't need your mushrooms. Do you think just anyone can take them?"

“This is a state-run restaurant, not some kind of chaotic shelter.”

Who do you think you are?

The head chef, a large and burly man, swung his fist down, smashing Wang Jianshe's face into a crook.

He was so thin that he collapsed to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

The head chef pointed at him and said, "If you ever interfere with my cooking again, I'll beat you so badly your own father won't recognize you."

"Scraps".

After being scolded like that, Wang Jianshe burst into tears.

Why is it so difficult?

I kept backing away in fear, but I was unwilling to give up. Did that mean all those mushrooms were ruined?

If he said that, wouldn't the educated youth in the village want to kill him?

He gritted his teeth; those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

Since we can't go through the main entrance, we have to go through the crooked one.
