Xianyang City, somewhere on the side of the road.
Chen Ergou was stirring the cement in the wooden barrel with great effort. After a while, the cement was ready.
"Ergou, you're really fast at mixing mud!"
The workers next to him praised him while shoveling cement.
Chen Ergou smiled innocently and continued to play with the mud.
Compared to the heavy and arduous work before, working with cement was a very easy job for him, and the wages were so high.
At noon, the sound of "Dangdangdang~" of gongs rang out.
The workers who were working quickly put down their tools and ran towards the nearby canteen.
Chen Ergou looked at the small courtyard curiously.
A large wooden barrel was filled with white steamed buns, and several wooden basins on the table were filled with cabbage and leeks.
"You bastards, line up!"
A burly auntie at the table roared, waving a large iron spoon.
Hearing this, the workers who had been in chaos just now became as obedient as rabbits and lined up in an orderly manner.
"Hey, today it's steamed buns and cabbage again. I'm almost tired of them."
"It's good to have something to eat, and the food here is not only free, but also provided three meals a day!"
"Haha, I'm just saying, where can I find such a good job?"
It turns out that white thing is called steamed bun.
Like clouds, it must be delicious!
Chen Ergou kept swallowing his saliva.
Finally it was his turn. Chen Ergou couldn't wait to pick up the wooden bowl and squat in the yard to eat.
Hmm...the steamed buns are so soft and delicious, and you can taste a hint of sweetness when you chew them carefully.
Huh? There's actually meat in this cabbage!
While eating, for some reason, Chen Ergou started to cry...
Ever since he was thrown into prison, he never thought that he could be reborn.
All this is thanks to the Queen...
I learned from my fellow workers that the Queen not only abolished the system of collective responsibility and corporal punishment, but also gave them such well-paid jobs.
Later, Chen Ergou would pray for the kind queen every day, hoping that she would live a long and peaceful life.
Even though the Queen would not care about a small person, he was still grateful for the new life she gave him.
Chen Ergou's first half of life was unlucky and bumpy, but his second half will be lucky.
