After many attempts, he became increasingly confused and couldn't help but ask the village elders if he was truly his parents' biological child.
An elderly man in the village patted him on the shoulder and said slowly, "He is my biological son."
After hearing this, he no longer had any doubts.
As his younger siblings grew up, his situation became increasingly difficult, worsening day by day, and they began to find ways to bully him.
He dared not resist, because if he did, he would be met with a merciless beating.
I overheard the village secretary mention that those who joined the army would have enough to eat.
After some thought, he decided to enlist in the army.
Five years later, he settled down in a certain place. With his family still on his mind, he wrote back to tell his parents about his situation.
To my surprise, the reply I received was full of scolding.
The parents spoke vehemently, denouncing him for causing the death of their son.
The letter viciously urged him to die out there and pay for their unborn son's life.
When he left, his mother was pregnant, but the baby was stillborn.
Thinking of the suffering his mother had endured, he understood her feelings.
Even though he felt wronged, he still sent five yuan of his monthly salary of fifteen yuan back home.
He originally intended to send them all back, but some of his comrades, upon learning this, told him not to.
The comrade also said, "In the current situation, having money in the village is not necessarily a good thing; everyone in the village loves to show off."
He realized that his mother was indeed prone to showing off.
It took about half a year before my parents' letters were written in a less harsh tone.
Although it still doesn't sound very pleasant, it's somewhat better now.
More than two months ago, the army gave him leave to go home and visit his family.
His parents wrote to him asking him to go back for a blind date, saying that they had introduced him to someone.
The so-called introduction of a potential partner was actually a pre-arranged engagement; they would simply go back and hold the wedding banquet.
He didn't like the marriage, but he agreed to go back because he wanted to ask the village secretary for help to separate his household registration.
Unexpectedly, before he could even return home, he nearly lost his life far from home.
Fortunately, he escaped unscathed and even met the person he liked—Su Yue.
After listening to Fu Shen's story, Su Yue felt a pang of heartache.
Looking at Fu Shen in front of me, a boy, he was treated like this at home.
Looking at Fu Shen, Su Yue couldn't help but say, "So when Jiang Huaidong made egg drop soup, you didn't even think about it and just simmered it down in one gulp."
Su Yue still harbors a thorn in her heart, haunted by the scene of Fu Shen drinking from the bowl in her past life.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, how could a soldier not smell something added to the soup?
Drinking so recklessly suggests that one rarely gets to eat good food.
Furthermore, because he was a close comrade-in-arms with Jiang Huaidong, he was completely unprepared for him and let his guard down.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shen was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
How did you know I downed it in one gulp?
Su Yue's eyes darted around, and she hesitated for a moment before replying, "In my dream."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Fu Shen's face as he quickly tried to explain his gluttonous behavior.
"I don't know how I drank the egg drop soup in my dream, but in reality, I did gulp it down. When I picked up the bowl to drink it, I vaguely felt that something was wrong with the egg drop soup."
Su Yue: "Then how did you..." drink it?
Fu Shen's face flushed red. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I've never had egg drop soup before. I thought this was what beaten eggs tasted like..."
Once the words are out, it's clear that his gluttonous nature remains.
He simply shut up and stopped talking.
In Su Yue's opinion, Fu Shen's appearance clearly indicated that he had never eaten anything good before, and this was the first time he had drunk egg drop soup.
She patted Fu Shen's arm tenderly and said earnestly, "I'll cook you a bowl of egg drop soup every day from now on."
Thinking that there was a lot of meat in her space, Su Yue originally wanted to cook meat soup, but she couldn't find an excuse to eat meat every day.
Fortunately, there are plenty of eggs in the space, so we can eat them every day without any problem.
