well……

Xiao Mingchen sat up helplessly, went to the kitchen and got himself a bowl of rice. The rice smelled quite good, but he decided to eat it dry, not wanting his father, that bad guy, to ruin the atmosphere.

Ye Tianyong nodded with relief. They were finally obedient. His wife had worked herself to the bone. If these brats couldn't even bear to serve themselves a bite of food, he, as their father, would make sure they had an unforgettable night and learn why flowers are so red!

Everyone ate until their faces were rosy and their bellies were stuffed. They were so full that they could hardly contain themselves. They were absolutely stuffed!

Looking back on those days, it feels so surreal, like a magical time.

In the past, when they were hungry, they had to drink water. A single cornbread could not be finished in one meal. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat, but that they couldn't.

What if you finish eating and then get so hungry you can't stand it anymore?

They could only eat a little to fill their stomachs, and when they needed to exert themselves to do something, they would eat the other half of the cornbread to tide them over.

Back then, most people either starved to death because they had nothing to eat, or because they were too frugal and only wanted to leave a little more food for their families.

There are just too many examples; poverty is the original sin!

There's a saying that poverty doesn't diminish ambition. That's because you haven't experienced that era, that kind of helpless fate!

Who wouldn't want to be born into a life of luxury, living in a world of ease and comfort? Unfortunately, most people are born into poverty and have to do all sorts of menial and backbreaking work.

So, how can one not feel dazed?

How can you not feel like you've lived through another world?

Even though the Ye family is doing much better now than before, they still occasionally think about the hard times they used to have.

When I dream, I feel a sense of loss, as if I fear it's all just a fleeting dream.

When you wake up from the dream, everything is gone!

…………

The next morning, by the time Yingbao woke up and the sun was already high in the sky, everyone in the Ye family, except for Yingbao, Ye Mingchen, and Ye Zilin, got up early to work on the dried rabbit and cured rabbit that they hadn't finished the day before...

The courtyard was bustling with activity.

The kitchen was also a complete mess...

It has a strong sense of everyday life, making people feel warm, comfortable and at ease!

And so, a busy day passed. The family made some simple porridge and steamed buns, along with pickled vegetables, salted vegetables, and pickled cucumbers from the cellar, and ate a simple meal.

After finishing my meal, I washed up to remove the sweat, and dragged my tired body into bed to fall into a deep sleep.

…………

"Needle, needle, needle... the second hand slowly ticked away." When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. Having not taken care of his bodily needs all night, Ye Tianyong opened his eyes, crumpled his clothes a few times, put them on, and went to the brick-built toilet to relieve himself.

Sure enough, after taking a dump, he felt refreshed and radiant, and all the fatigue from yesterday had vanished. When Ye Tianyong came out of the toilet, he ran into his older brother Ye Tiancheng, who was also looking for a place to relieve himself. So he greeted him cheerfully: "Good morning, brother!"

Ye Tiancheng was in such a hurry to urinate that he didn't have time to pay attention to his son. His mouth tightened unintentionally, and he hurriedly walked past him into the toilet. Ye Tianyong sighed and said: "Brother, you really can't wait!"

He didn't even have time to respond to her, which made him very anxious!

Ye Tianyong thought to himself in a nonchalant manner.
