It was already half past eight when Chen Chunhua arrived at the village. Lin Guoqing stood at the entrance of the village, his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth until he heard the creaking of a tricycle in the distance. It rushed over before he even saw the people.
After a day, Lin Guoqing finally saw his wife. He was so anxious that he started cursing.
"Where have you been? You didn't even leave a message for your family? If you don't come back, I'm going to report it to the township!" There are quite a few cases of missing women these days!
When Chen Chunhua saw that it was him, she stopped the tricycle with a squeak and waved weakly at him.
"Come on, come on, ride me back. I have no strength left."
As he said that, he climbed onto the back of the tricycle and sat down.
She was so fucking hungry! It was late at night, and the street vendors had all gone home. She had no place to spend her money, so she came back hungry all the way. Her calves were cramping.
Lin Guoqing's anger instantly dissipated when he saw her lips turned pale and cracked. He resigned himself to his fate and got on his tricycle and hurried home.
"Didn't you say this morning that you wouldn't be back for lunch and that you were going to the county to see if there was a mushroom class? Why did you only come back now?"
Chen Chunhua: "I asked around, and everyone said there wasn't a mushroom class in our county, only in the neighboring county. So I went to the neighboring county to sign up."
"Then you should tell your family! Mom said she didn't see you when she came back. She asked Youqing's mom, and she also said you hadn't come back."
"I met Sanni when I rode to the village entrance. She was going to the next county to pick cotton. I gave her a ride and left..." Chen Chunhua licked her lips. She really hadn't thought this through.
"I originally thought I'd just ask there, pay the tuition, go home, and attend classes the next day or the day after. But it turned out I couldn't see the teacher until 7 a.m. to register, and after registering I even sat in on a half-hour class before returning home..."
If she wasn't hungry and the course was too simple and basic, she might have come back even later, and maybe she would have run into Lin Guoqing on her way back, who had just come out of the police station to report the case.
Lin Guoqing: ...
He didn't want to pay any attention to this big-headed wife for the time being. After silently pulling her home, he wanted to put on airs, let her see that he was angry, and tell her that he wouldn't do it again next time.
Then, Chen Chunhua, who was so weak and dying just now, jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped, rushed into the house, and kept muttering in a low voice,
"I'm starving, I'm starving..."
I really didn't even turn my head to look at him.
Lin Guoqing looked up at the sky speechlessly. What's that old saying? - Marry a daughter-in-law who looks like her mother-in-law?
He asked why that scene looked so familiar. Wasn't it exactly like Liang Shengdi?
When he entered the room, Chen Chunhua was already sitting at the table eating, and her three children were coming in and out, serving her tea and water.
Today Liang Shengdi made braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried pumpkin vines, scallion oil fish and egg drop soup.
Everyone saved Shen Chunhua's portion before eating, otherwise there would be no meat left for the several people in the family who ate so much.
It was cold, and except for the egg drop soup, the other three dishes were covered with white oil. Lin Shugan said he wanted to heat them up for his mother, but Chen Chunhua refused. When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious, so there is no need to waste that time.
She hadn't even remembered to wash her hands, so Shumei had to run and wet a towel and bring it over to wipe Chen Chunhua. It was all cold, and the second child was afraid that Chen Chunhua would choke if she ate too fast, so he ordered his younger brother to pour hot water.
Liang Shengdi sat beside him and smacked her lips. "You haven't eaten for a whole day?"
Chen Chunhua tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth. "I had sweet potatoes for lunch, but I rode a lot and got hungry faster."
She swore that she would never complain in her heart about Liang Shengdi's occasional starving behavior again. There is a huge difference between being hungry and being half full!
Liang Shengdi tutted and looked at her disapprovingly, "I told you to eat less sweet potatoes. They're filling at first, but you get hungry quickly. A quick trip to the toilet and they're all gone! They're also really good for your stomach. One can make you fart for ages..."
"Mom~"
"grandmother!"
Everyone in the room, big and small, looked at Liang Shengdi in confusion. Even Chen Chunhua almost choked on a mouthful of cold rice.
"Mom... I'm eating... Why are you talking about the toilet..."
Liang Shengdi spread her hands innocently and said, "I'm just telling you the truth. If I fart and let out all my anger, won't I be even hungrier?"
Chen Chunhua: ...
Thanks to Liang Shengdi, she was able to fill her stomach faster.
After filling his stomach, Lin Guoqing sat down and slowly asked about the mushroom class.
"Class doesn't end until 9 o'clock? Then you'll have to ride back from there for another hour, so you won't be home until 10 o'clock?" It's dark on this country road, who knows when someone will jump out? It's so unsafe!
"I'm going to the Agricultural Machinery Station for class starting the day after tomorrow. It'll only take about ten minutes to get there!"
"...It's only ten minutes, not half an hour, or about an hour?"
Chen Chunhua was speechless at his rounding, but she lowered her voice. "I've already paid the tuition. The teacher is a professional. He used to grow mushrooms in the army. He can even borrow a microscope!"
Although that thing didn't seem to be of much use for mushroom cultivation, the fact that he was able to borrow such a precious thing, what did that mean? It meant he had connections!
He was able to apply to start teaching classes and borrow valuable equipment. How come you don’t know whether he can help his fellow villagers find buyers when the time comes?
This is what Chen Chunhua came up with when she was chatting with Qi Caigen today. The end of retail is definitely wholesale. She doesn't think she can open a vegetable market, nor does she think she can travel all over the county with a tricycle.
If the farm wanted to expand, eventually, people would have to come to her to buy in large quantities, rather than just handing over a few pounds to each family. If she could really get people to buy from her, it would be a way to make a fortune.
Chen Chunhua didn't intend to take advantage of Teacher Qian, she just wanted to learn something first. If he really helped her get in touch with others, she didn't want to be left behind.
Chinese society is a society of favors, and teachers will always prioritize their own students over strangers. Whether Chen Chunhua is truly learning or building relationships, she has to attend the mushroom class.
Lin Guoqing understood her thoughts and was silent for a while before speaking.
"Then you can't go alone. Classes start very late, and it's unsafe in the dark."
Just as Chen Chunhua was about to open her mouth to refute, she heard him continue,
"I'll take you there and wait for you to finish class and come back together."
