Chapter 10: I feel comfortable when I am full

Lin Shan and Lin Hai from the same village passed by.

Seeing Chen Hui carrying a lot of bags, Lin Hai stretched his neck to look curiously.

"Don't look at it. You're going to come to our house for a free meal later." Lin Shan pulled Lin Hai and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Hui shouted, "Brother Lin Shan!"

"Ah?! Ahhh, Chen Hui, where are you coming back from so early in the morning?" Lin Shan was startled, stopped and asked with an awkward smile.

"I just came back from town. I bought some things and am waiting to go to the village chief's house to choose a date."

"Would you like a steamed bun?"

Chen Hui took out a bag of steamed buns and handed it over.

"what?!"

So many years.

Only Chen Hui has ever been the one to stay at their house.

Their family had never seen even a grain of rice or two from Chen Hui.

Lin Shan and Lin Hai looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrongly.

"You're welcome, take it yourself."

"You see, I don't treat you as outsiders. Come and eat when you are hungry." Chen Hui said again.

The two brothers exchanged glances again, then reached out and took a steamed bun.

"People who are getting married are different. Live a good life after marriage. I wish you and Wen Jing happiness."

Lin Shan is a little older than Chen Hui, and the moment he speaks he sounds like an elder brother who is like a father.

"This white flour steamed bun is so delicious, isn't it? Brother, eat it quickly!" Lin Hai had already eaten half of the steamed bun in his hand.

"Give me half of this, and I'll keep mine for my parents and grandma."

Lin Shan took half of the bun from Lin Hai and took a bite. It was really delicious!

Abba Abba.

Lin Hai looked at his suddenly empty hands and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"How about taking another one?" Chen Hui asked.

"Brother-in-law, you gave everything to others, and I'm hungry too." An Wenyi blinked.

"No, we are going to work. Thank you."

Lin Shan and Lin Hai thanked him and left, looking back from time to time even after they walked a long way.

"Brother, do you feel like you are dreaming?"

"Ok!"

If the steamed bun in his trouser pocket was not still warm and his stomach was not obviously fuller, Lin Hai really thought he was dreaming.

Also, who says eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable?
It's obviously very comfortable.

"Brother-in-law, I'm hungry." An Wenyi looked at him eagerly.

"Go wash your hands, then you can eat."

"In addition to steamed buns, you can also eat meat dumplings, but you can't eat this candy. You have to save it for giving to others." Chen Hui said.

An Wenyi nodded frantically.

He ran back to the house, shouting at the top of his voice, "Sister! Wash my hands quickly!"

"Brother Chen Hui! Breakfast is ready, come and have breakfast."

An Wenjing poured some water for An Wenyi and brought the warm breakfast to the table.

The seafood that Chen Hui brought was simply blanched without adding any seasoning.

It is also served with a bowl of sweet potato rice porridge and a boiled egg.

"Sister, I don't want to drink this, I want buns!"

An Wenyi ran over, shaking off the water, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

The little guy had never eaten a meat bun before, so he took a bite and immediately spat it out, "It's not tasty!"

"Why are you buying so many things again?"

"You don't know what's good. If it doesn't taste good, give it to me."

An Wenjing took the meat bun that her sister had eaten and handed her a steamed bun.

"Where's our mom? Call her."

Chen Hui also took a bun and sat down.

The thin sweet potato rice porridge is not enough to satisfy hunger when eaten directly, but it is very good to eat with steamed buns. "My mother has eaten it. She has to take the chicken to the town to sell today, so she hurried to cut grass for the pigs first."

"Eat this egg quickly, or you won't be able to eat it tomorrow." An Wenjing said.

If it wasn’t for waiting for Chen Hui to go and see the date together.

At this time, the mother and her two daughters should all be on the mountain.

"Don't sell the chickens. Keep them for Wen Yi to lay eggs. She is still growing."

"You can give our mother the money you need for hospitalization yourself," said Chen Hui.

"If my mother could use your money, she wouldn't be my mother."

"People's words are scary. She is most afraid of being told that she relies on someone else."

Speaking of Lin Jiao, An Wenjing also felt helpless.

"Then just tell me I bought it and saved it for you to use when you are pregnant."

"Brother Chen Hui, what nonsense are you talking about?"

An Wenjing's face turned slightly red, and she pretended to hit Chen Hui.

After breakfast, the two of them took An Wenyi to Chen Kaiming's house.

"Uncle, aunt!"

An Wenyi shouted crisply, poking his little head back and forth.

Yuan Chuanfang heard the noise and came out, saying with a smile: "Oh, it's Wen Yi! Wen Jing is back too, she was discharged from the hospital so soon, how is the child feeling?"

"Aunt, I'm fine."

"Brother Chen Hui and I brought you something." An Wenjing handed the thing over.

Yuan Chuanfang took a look and the smile on his face instantly disappeared.

She stuffed the things back into An Wenyi's hands and said angrily, "I don't want them. You just came back from the hospital, why are you giving me things?"

"Aunt, just keep it."

"I've given you a lot of work to do during the few days I've been in the hospital," An Wenjing said obediently.

In addition to Chen Kaiming, every household was helped to borrow money.

In addition to cooking extra meals for the three of them and having Chen Xiaoqiao, the only free person in the family, deliver them, Yuan Chuanfang also had to help take care of the livestock in An Wenjing's family.

There are indeed a lot more things.

"You are such a good kid. I'll keep the flour and you can take the rock sugar back."

"You'll be using sugar in a lot of places next." Yuan Chuanfang looked at the two of them teasingly.

In an era of scarce resources, rock sugar was an extremely precious good.

I was vomiting because of pregnancy and couldn’t eat anything. I had to drink some sugar water to keep myself going.

I don’t have the strength to give birth to the baby, so I drink some sugar water to keep myself going.

If you are weak and have no milk after giving birth, you also need to drink oily and sugary water.

"Wenjing, come here." Chen Kaiming heard the noise and came downstairs, calling Wenjing to the door.

An Wenyi wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen Hui.

"Chen Guangming came yesterday and came again early this morning. Ask your uncle to persuade her."

"Chen Hui, I'm not saying anything bad about you."

"When you get married, you have to take on the responsibilities of a man, be focused and motivated, and never be like your uncle Xiaoqiao."

"Don't be upset if Aunt says something unpleasant. At least your uncle Xiaoqiao has us two old men to support him. If you don't make progress, Wenjing will suffer for the rest of her life."

Outside the house, Chen Kaiming was doing An Wenjing's work.

In the hall, Yuan Chuanfang was also very worried and kept talking to Chen Hui.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Wen Jing." Chen Hui didn't say much.

As long as you live a good life, your reputation will naturally change.

If you don't live a good life, no matter how nice your words are, they will be of no use.

After chatting for a while, seeing that An Wenjing was determined, Chen Kaiming did not try to persuade him.

Yuan Chuanfang took out the almanac, flipped through it for a while and said, "The sixth day of next month is a good day, and the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the best auspicious day this year. Which day do you like?"

Chen Hui looked at An Wenjing, meaning to let her make the decision.

"Let's do it on the sixth day of next month. We won't hold a banquet, just a simple certificate will be enough."
