Li Chunmei put Xia Minmin down, told her not to wander off, and went into the kitchen to help.

Xia Minmin sat at the door, staring blankly at the leaves. Her rebirth was not as dramatic as in the novels, but rather quite ordinary. The only thing that went off track was the creation of the so-called genius title, which led Xia Jianguo and Li Zhonghua to go to the wholesale market to purchase goods.

Whether all these changes are good or bad is unknown.

Xia Jianguo's previous life wasn't bad; he lived a standard middle-class life. But he was always unlucky; he earned a lot of money, but couldn't keep it.

Forget it, I'm just worrying unnecessarily. Things will work themselves out when we reach the bridge.

A bell rang at the cement plant, signaling that the workers were going home for lunch and the restaurants were about to get busy.

Sun Erni brought out all the prepared dishes and got ready.

Grandma Xia came out of the kitchen and led Xia Minmin to sit by the back door. It was quieter here because there were fewer people eating in the main hall. Sun Erni couldn't keep an eye on Xia Minmin all the time, so it was dangerous for her to sit by the door. She might get kidnapped.

Li Chunmei was cooking for them in the kitchen. She was hungry after being busy all morning. She also wondered if Xia Minmin was hungry, since she had only eaten so little in the morning.

After everyone has eaten lunch, we need to start cleaning the kitchen and hall, and then we need to prepare dinner for the workers. We can cook less in the evening since fewer people eat dinner here.

They would prepare a meal and wait for the men in their families to come home so that the whole family could eat dinner together.

It was the first time they had traveled so far and carried so much money to buy goods. The women in their family were very worried about them, but they didn't show it.

They returned with beaming faces as soon as it got dark, indicating that they had made quite a haul this time.
