Soon, Wang Qian returned to the kitchen.
On the stove was a black iron pot.
Homemade pickled cabbage was simmering in the pot.
It was clear and watery, with not a trace of oil.
He is now destitute, barely able to make ends meet.
However, now that I have been reborn, these hard times will soon improve.
Next, he turned and went to the chicken coop.
His family keeps several roosters and hens, and each rooster lays one or two eggs every day.
After entering the chicken coop and shooing away the hens, I found several eggs in the nest.
He took two, ignoring the hen's protests, and went straight back to the kitchen.
Then, with somewhat clumsy skill, he cracked the eggs into a bowl, stirred them well, fried them in oil, and then brought them to Lin Xiaoyu, who was resting in the bedroom.
"Did you fry some eggs?"
Lin Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing across her face.
"yes!"
Wang Qian nodded. "How can we eat it with just pickled cabbage?"
"But my parents were going to sell those eggs at the market."
Lin Xiaoyu looked pained. "If you eat the eggs now, what will we do when it's time to pay the grain tax and our family doesn't have enough money to make up for it?"
Wang Qian was taken aback, only then realizing that Lin Xiaoyu had misunderstood.
"Xiaoyu, these eggs are fried for you!"
"For me to eat?"
Lin Xiaoyu could hardly believe her ears.
She thought that Wang Qian couldn't eat the sauerkraut rice porridge, so he went to fry the eggs.
Unexpectedly,
It was for her to eat!
"You're about to give birth, so of course you need to eat something nutritious and nourish yourself properly."
As they spoke, Wang Qian handed the bowl and chopsticks to Lin Xiaoyu.
Lin Xiaoyu was even more surprised.
She didn't take it, but just stared blankly at Wang Qian.
"How about I feed you?"
Wang Qian picked up a piece of fried egg with his chopsticks and brought it to Lin Xiaoyu's lips.
"I...I don't want to eat it!"
Realizing what was happening, Lin Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head vigorously, "These eggs are what Mom and Dad were going to take to the market to sell and use to supplement their grain tax..."
"Xiaoyu!"
Wang Qian suddenly interrupted Lin Xiaoyu, "I'll figure out how to pay the grain tax. Now, I need you to eat the eggs!"
"But……"
"No buts, you're my wife, so you have to listen to me!"
Without giving Lin Xiaoyu a chance to refute, Wang Qian pushed the eggs forward a little further.
Perhaps subconsciously afraid to resist, Lin Xiaoyu had no choice but to open her mouth and eat the egg.
Although it was delicious, she ate it with trepidation.
"Have some too!"
After taking three bites, Lin Xiaoyu said, "You can't stand any hardship. You probably can't eat pickled cabbage and rice every day, right?"
"That was before!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "From now on, I can endure any hardship and do any kind of work."
"As for you and Mom and Dad, I will never let you suffer any more hardship or injustice!"
Lin Xiaoyu blinked, unsure of what to say for a moment.
She just felt that this warm and cozy scene, and these words that moved her, seemed somewhat unreal.
In a daze, Wang Qian fed her a bowl of fried eggs.
"You continue to rest, I have to go out for a while."
"Where are you going?" Lin Xiaoyu asked instinctively.
"Go find a way to make money!"
Wang Qian smiled mysteriously, "I told you, I'll make sure you live a good life."
"You don't want to gamble, do you?" Lin Xiaoyu panicked immediately.
They do indeed still have more than a hundred yuan left in their home.
But that was money saved up by my parents-in-law from selling various agricultural products, which they would then use to supplement their grain tax payments.
If Wang Qian gambles it all away, how will his family survive?
"Xiaoyu, what kind of person do you take me for?"
Wang Qian said, both amused and exasperated, "I'm not a gambler, and I won't use it for gambling. I'm going to do business with it."
What kind of business do you do?
"You don't need to worry about these things. Just rest at home. You'll know when I come back with the money!"
Under Lin Xiaoyu's skeptical gaze, Wang Qian left the bedroom with the empty bowl and chopsticks.
He washed the bowl first, and then ate a big bowl of sauerkraut rice porridge.
It really tastes terrible.
But he choked up several times while eating.
There was a time when he was utterly disgusted with this kind of life and desperately wanted to escape.
Having lived a second life, he finally understood how precious this simple and ordinary life was.
My parents are still alive, and I still have the opportunity to be filial to them.
His wife hasn't given up on him yet, and there's still a chance to make up for what he lacked.
My son hasn't been born yet, so I still have the opportunity to give him fatherly love.
This is just the beginning!
Not long after, he finished eating the pickled cabbage rice porridge, took 168.5 yuan from home, and went straight out the door.
At that time, people in the countryside still lived a self-sufficient life.
In addition, a certain amount of public grain must be paid each year.
If there isn't enough food, money will be needed to supplement it.
The money he brought with him was originally saved up by his parents through hard work selling eggs and agricultural products at the market.
The reason he took all of it with him was, of course, to make money generate more money.
This was a golden age when businessmen flourished everywhere.
You can make money as long as you find a business.
What he needs to do now is to use the little money he has to earn his first pot of gold.
But now he's not going to the market; he's going to Old Wang's house in the next village.
