Wu Qiaoqiao pedaled her tricycle quickly, alternating her feet as she rode along the smooth road, marveling at the county leaders' decisiveness. Since the land was distributed to individuals, everyone had been trying to increase their income. Higher incomes meant more money, which in turn boosted the county's economy, leading to a significant increase in the county's revenue. With more money in the county, the leaders began large-scale road construction projects. Even for small village roads where high-quality materials weren't feasible, the county organized villagers to find ways to level them.

When the idea of ​​building a road connecting the village to the town was proposed, their village was the first to respond. After all, their village was also the first to make money. Whether it was the existing pig farm or the various breeding and planting activities that the villagers came up with later, they all needed a good road to facilitate transportation to the town and county. If the road weren't smooth now, and she was riding so fast, not to mention anything else, those eggs would probably be more than half broken by the time they reached their destination.

Because the road was smooth and she was strong, Wu Qiaoqiao rode very fast and soon arrived in town. Once there, she consciously slowed down because, although it was still early, some people had already come out to town.

Some housewives are too lazy to cook breakfast, so they go to the street to buy breakfast in the morning. There are also elderly men and women who rush to buy fresh vegetables in the morning. When they see those fragrant breakfasts on the street, they will buy some to take home, even if they are reluctant to eat them themselves, they will give them to their children to enjoy.

Soon, Wu Qiaoqiao slowly rode her bicycle to a fairly large breakfast stall. She saw that the steaming buns at the stall were very steaming, indicating that they had been steaming for a while, and there were already people buying breakfast there.

This breakfast stall belongs to Liu Mingxin. At this moment, she is placing rolled-out layered pancakes into a large electric griddle. You should know that Wu Qiaoqiao taught her how to make them. These layered pancakes sell very well in their town.

As for her husband, an honest farmer, he placed baskets of pre-made buns on the steamer outside to steam them. From the doorway, you could see several other people busily making buns and steamed bread inside.

When Wu Qiaoqiao arrived, she had just finished baking a layered pancake in the griddle and was cutting it for a middle-aged woman who had come to buy breakfast. She looked up and saw Wu Qiaoqiao. Since she had other customers, she turned and called out to them.

"Mom, come out for a moment, my sister-in-law brought some things."

When Liu Mingxin called out, everyone who was making steamed buns in the shop came out, including her mother-in-law Wang Jinhua, Liu Ercheng's eldest grandson Liu Xiangdong, and Liu Ercheng's eldest granddaughter Liu Qian.

As soon as the three of them came out, Wang Jinhua saw her second son, Zhou An, take the bicycle from his wife and sister-in-law and head towards the back gate next to the yard.

Because they run a breakfast business, and the vegetables, chickens, and ducks that come in from Liu Ercheng's place every morning aren't exactly clean, they opened a small door on the side. Every time something is delivered, it goes in through that small door, so it doesn't make a mess in front of them. After all, quite a few people come to buy breakfast in the morning, and they're also worried that if a chicken or duck suddenly poops in front of them, nobody would be able to eat it.

Seeing that her second son had already taken the bicycle away, Wang Jinhua realized she didn't need to go. Instead of going back to make dumplings, she went up to greet her second daughter-in-law's sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, why are you the one delivering things today?"

Looking at her sister-in-law's mother-in-law, Wu Qiaoqiao felt quite emotional. This old lady was extremely clever. She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was a madwoman, while her eldest son was an honest man. She knew that she couldn't rely on them for old age, so she always favored Liu Mingxin and his wife.

When the family divided their property, the elderly couple moved in with their second son. The eldest son and his wife disagreed, but Wang Jinhua made the final decision that they would live with their second son.

Wang Jinhua is now grateful that she moved in with her second son back then. Ever since Liu Mingxin opened his breakfast stall, she and her husband have been helping him out. Liu Mingxin didn't let them work for free; he always paid them. The couple initially didn't want the money, but Liu Mingxin insisted that it was like paying them a salary, and that they could use the money to buy food for their grandchildren. So Wang Jinhua accepted it.

The reason Liu Mingxin told Wang Jinhua and her husband that he was going to pay them wages was simply to shut his sister-in-law up, so she wouldn't gossip and say that Liu Mingxin was taking advantage of his parents-in-law. Liu Mingxin didn't care whether the money went to his eldest daughter-in-law or not. Fortunately, Wang Jinhua and her husband weren't foolish. After they got the money, they didn't interfere with their eldest son and his wife, but they treated their grandson equally.

Liu Mingxin was more willing to treat her in-laws better because of this, since the couple had been incredibly busy since opening the breakfast shop, and Wang Jinhua and her husband mostly took care of the children. Liu Mingxin was happy to do things that could be solved with just a little money.

The Liu family was very satisfied with Wang Jinhua, so when Wu Qiaoqiao saw Wang Jinhua greeting her, she smiled and greeted her back.

“Auntie, look at what you’re saying. I just had some business in the county town, so I delivered it on my way here this morning. That way I don’t have to ride my bike back to town, right? I can ride it back this afternoon.”

When Wang Jinhua heard Wu Qiaoqiao say this, she nodded in agreement and asked Wu Qiaoqiao to sit down and if she had eaten breakfast and if she wanted some.

Wu Qiaoqiao said she had already eaten and was going to the county town soon. But as she was speaking, she saw Liu Mingxin carrying a tray with some sliced ​​layered pancakes, two large meat buns, and a cup of soy milk. He placed the tray in front of Wu Qiaoqiao and said to her.

"Sister-in-law, please eat a little more. Do you think I don't know your appetite? This little bit is just a drop in the ocean."

Seeing Liu Mingxin's attitude, Wu Qiaoqiao didn't refuse. However, she didn't eat everything Liu Mingxin brought. Instead, she ate a piece of bread and drank a cup of soy milk before putting down her chopsticks. After all, she had to take a bus to the county town later, and eating too much would make the journey uncomfortable.
