Suddenly, this pot of pickled cabbage was also welcomed by everyone.
In the end, both pots of food were eaten up by everyone, and even the remaining braised pork soup was eaten up by Qian Xingshan along with rice.
After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Qian Xingshan concluded, "This is the happiest and most satisfying meal I have ever had in my life."
The three little ones echoed, "Me too, me too."
Mother Qian smiled and said in her heart, "This is also the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life. Plenty of fine rice and braised pork. People in the area don't dare to eat like this."
Qingfeng looked at Qian Chunhua innocently, "Mom, will we eat braised pork every New Year?"
Qian Chunhua nodded and said, "Hey, not only do we eat it during the Chinese New Year, but mom will also make it for you on weekdays."
Qian's mother was anxious, "If we keep eating like this, we won't be able to live."
Qian Chunhua smiled and did not refute Qian's mother's words. For someone who had lived in an environment with material scarcity for a long time, Qian's mother's idea was normal.
After dinner, Qian's mother was responsible for cleaning up the dishes.
Qian Chunhua is going to Village Chief Wang’s house to get the household registration card.
"Mom, I'll take Qingsong to get the household registration card first, and I'll come pick up Xiaoling and Qingfeng later."
Qian Chunhua was worried that it would be inconvenient to bring two children with her, so she brought Qingsong with her because Qingsong was the eldest son of the Zhao family. She brought him with her so that he could see more of the world.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll look after them." Qian Xingshan burped with satisfaction.
Carrying the brown sugar that they had prepared in advance, Qian Chunhua and Qingsong came to the home of Village Chief Wang, who had just finished dinner.
"Chunhua is here." Village chief Wang estimated that the time was about right, and Qian Chunhua really came as promised.
Qian Chunhua handed over the brown sugar, "Wang Shutu."
Qingsong: "Grandpa, the village chief."
Village Chief Wang's daughter-in-law Sun Hongying stepped forward to take the brown sugar and smiled happily, "Sister Chunhua, please sit down."
Qian Chunhua and Qingsong sat at the wooden table in the main room. The empty bowls on the table had not been removed yet, and one could vaguely see that the village chief's family had corn porridge and black flour steamed buns for dinner.
Sun Hongying: "Sister Chunhua, have you eaten yet? Would you like something to eat?"
Qian Chunhua looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table, smiled and declined politely, "Thank you, Sister Hongying. We just had dinner."
Village Chief Wang took out the household registration card from the inner room and handed it to Qian Chunhua. "The fee for your household registration card is ten cents."
Qian Chunhua quickly counted out ten coins from his purse and handed them to Village Chief Wang with both hands, "Thank you, Uncle Wang."
After taking the household registration card, Qian Chunhua looked at it, which was made of jute paper.
Taking "household" as the unit, the household label accurately records the native place, household name, number of household members, male and female members, relationship with the household, assets, etc. of the family of four.
This is the proof of my family’s identity. With it, everything I did last night will be truly effective.
Qian Chunhua received the invitation and finally felt relieved.
After finishing the work, Qian Chunhua asked, "Uncle Wang, I want to ask, are there no post stations and tea shops on the official road outside our village now?"
Qian Chunhua knew from his original body's memory that there used to be a post station less than a mile away from the village entrance, but the three tightly-dressed men he met today couldn't find it.
Village chief Wang looked at Qian Chunhua in surprise. In his impression, this village woman actually started to care about the outside world?
Village Chief Wang sighed and answered for Qian Chunhua, "That post station has been abandoned for a long time. The court can't pay the salary, so no one stays there."
So that’s how it is. Qian Chunhua understood.
"Uncle Wang, I want to open a tea shop at the entrance of the village to provide convenience for the passing caravans, okay?"
This is Qian Chunhua’s second purpose for visiting the village chief tonight.
Village Chief Wang was very surprised that Qian Chunhua had such an idea. From the perspective of the village chief, he said, "Hey, your family just has a piece of land next to the official road. The tea shop can be built on that land."
"Yes..."
