Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Through night chats at night.

Father Liu also had a general understanding of the situation of Old Chen's family.

Lao Chen has two brothers who also live in this village but are farther away.

Old Chen was originally considered a promising child in the family, otherwise the house would not have been built so far outside the city.

He went to school for two years, but he was not very talented and his family was not well off. After he learned to read and count, he went out to work. He worked as a waiter in a restaurant and as a porter at the dock. Later, he saved some money and opened a tea stall at the fork in the road outside the city, selling tea and dry food.

There are many pedestrians coming and going, and business is still good.

Later, he built two houses here, married a girl from the next village, and lived a relatively prosperous life.

However, the year I was pregnant with my son Chen Xinzhu, the New Year was particularly cold.

It snowed the most in nearly twenty years, and the child was born prematurely. My wife caught a cold and did not take good care of herself during the confinement period, so she became ill.

The saddest thing is that my son is not in good health.

At first, my daughter-in-law's health was not that bad, but later it became worse and worse. She could no longer take care of her son at home. She could only lie in bed all day and take medicine.

Life became worse and worse. He ran the tea shop by himself. He sent his child home and his parents took care of him until he was almost six years old.

My mother was old, and after she passed away that year, my father was no longer able to help. My two brothers were also busy with farm work. As the children in the family grew up, some got married and some got married.

He took his son back and sent him to school.

The tuition fee is not low every year, but the children can stay in school.

The burden on his shoulders became heavier.

Two years later, my wife's condition worsened. My child had grown up a little and became more sensible, so he dropped out of school and came back to take care of his mother.

Later, in order to treat his wife's illness, he spent all the money he earned, and borrowed some from his neighbors and two brothers. Finally, he sold the tea shop.

My daughter-in-law couldn't make it and passed away two years later.

Now more than three years have passed. The tea shop has been sold and he has gone out to do odd jobs. His son makes some bamboo baskets and small items at home. Sometimes he goes to the county town to set up a stall, and sometimes he goes to the market to set up a stall.

In addition, the son has to take medicine every month to regulate his body, so the life of the father and son is indeed very stressful.

To the extent that, now that my son has reached the age for marriage, no matchmaker has come to our house.

He was too embarrassed to ask a matchmaker to introduce her to someone.

There is still some foreign debt at home. Let’s wait until it is paid off.

After hearing this, Father Liu felt that the father and son were really unlucky, as they were both smart people.

Otherwise life wouldn't be like this.

However, whether you say it or not, it’s all fate.

Now that it has come to this, we can only try our best to fight against fate.

Life is something we have to endure, and now we have made it through. In a little over a year, the family will have paid off the foreign debt and saved money for another two years. By then, my son will only be 19 years old, a little old, but he can still find a wife.

In addition to the physical conditioning in the past few years, my health is getting better and better as I get older.

The days are becoming more and more hopeful.

As Old Chen finished his speech, his voice became increasingly cheerful.

The shackles in my heart were put down, as if I was telling someone else's story.

After learning about this family's story, Father Liu felt that this father and son were good people. Old man Zhang next door was also willing to help their family. The fact that they were able to borrow money even though they were in such a difficult situation also proved that this family had good character.

He couldn't help but think in his mind that he would have the chance to take advantage of this family in the future.

When they do business in the future, they will always need manpower. It is not realistic to buy all the people. If they hire people, they will hire people with good character.

I don’t know when I fell asleep. Lao Liu listened to the even snoring beside him and closed his eyes.

Early in the morning of the second day, at some unknown time, Father Liu felt movement on the bed next to him and he woke up.

At this time, the windows of the farmers' houses were covered with window paper, which had very low brightness, and the house was still pitch black.

Old Chen fumbled to put on his clothes, gently opened the door, went out and closed the door again.

Father Liu didn't sleep long and came out dressed immediately.

When I came out of the main gate, I saw a fire burning in the small thatched house next to it.

He was afraid that the family would get up and cook to entertain them.

I walked back and took out the bag, which contained some emergency dry food I had bought earlier, a few mixed flour steamed buns, and a few baked cakes.

No matter how many things there were, they couldn't take them out, after all, there was space for two of their group members.

I took out all the steamed buns and cakes and walked outside the thatched hut. There was no door in the thatched hut, so I walked in directly. With the help of the firelight, I saw an iron pot on the stove with some grains cooking in it.

When Lao Chen saw someone coming in, he quickly said, "Brother Liu, you should get some more sleep. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but there's nothing good at home. I'll just make something to eat. You can go into the city after you finish eating."

"Old Chen, you don't have to be so polite. The city has everything. We can just go for a walk and buy some food."

"Brother Liu, we are sorry for not hosting you well. When you settle down, please say hello to us when you pass by. If you need any help, we will lend a hand."

"Of course, we are new here, and we will definitely ask for advice if we don't understand something in the future."

"Why ask for advice? We are all farmers. We don't know much. We are just a little familiar with the surrounding environment."

Old Chen's son also got up at this time. Seeing his father making a fire and cooking, he came over to help: "Dad, you talk to Uncle Liu, I'll do it."

"Okay, you watch the fire."

Old Chen gave up his seat and took Liu's father to the main room.

I ran into Liu Hao and his two companions who had just come out of the store.

"Uncle Liu, are we leaving?"

"We'll set off after Caixia and the others arrive. The city gates are probably already open. I see people outside carrying loads into the city."

"Row."

One by one, they yawned and found a bench to sit down.

I didn’t feel it before, but now the weather is getting colder and colder. Even though I didn’t sleep very well last night and the quilt is not very warm, I always don’t want to get up.

"Brother Liu, go call someone over and have some porridge to warm yourself up before going into the city."

Father Liu had forgotten about this matter. Thinking that a pot of food had already been prepared, he took out the cakes and steamed buns he had prepared and handed them over. "Old Chen, we are not polite. You can heat up these dry food and we will eat together later."

Old Chen looked at the steamed buns and pancakes wrapped in oil paper in the bundle that Liu's father opened, and then looked at Liu's determined eyes. Finally, he took it and said, "Okay, I'll build a rack and steam it for a while."
