Chapter 27 Let’s Eat Something Good

"Wow! Whose bicycle is parked in front of our door?"

"This car is still new, it looks really nice!"

Lin Jiao's voice came from outside the door, and then she was seen coming back with a full basket of pig feed on her back.

Seeing Chen Hui at home, he smiled and asked, "Are you back? Did Huihong explain everything?"

"Well, that's a clear explanation." Chen Hui nodded.

"Mom, this car belongs to our family! It's a wedding gift that my brother-in-law bought for my sister." An Wenyi said while hugging Lin Jiao.

"what?!"

"Have you spent all the money for the wedding?" Lin Jiao looked at Chen Hui and hesitated to speak.

"No, the money for the wedding is still with Wen Jing."

"I went out to sea with my uncle yesterday, and this is the money I earned from the sea trip," said Chen Hui.

"Going out to sea?! This car will cost more than a hundred dollars, right?"

"In Dasha Village, you can earn more than a hundred yuan by going out to sea?"

Lin Jiao was shocked.

In this case, wouldn't the per capita income in Dasa Village be a ten thousand yuan household?

"Of course not, sit down and talk while we eat."

"I'm hungry too!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk while we eat. I'll go wash my hands and come right back."

The family sits down to eat.

Chen Hui briefly told the mother and daughter about how he went out to sea with Wu Shuisheng and others and went to the county town to sell fish.

The part where one goes down to the sea to catch fish and crabs has been completely changed by Chen Hui into sea-hunting, where one catches fish and sturgeons in the waves during low tide.

"Can you actually make so much money by fishing?"

This completely overturned Lin Jiao and An Wenjing's cognition.

"That's not true. If we sell that fish to a purchasing point, it would only fetch thirty yuan at most."

"Speaking of which, a quiet woman brings good luck to her husband. If she hadn't been in the hospital, I wouldn't have met such a wealthy woman."

"what?!"

An Wenjing didn't expect that she would be praised like this, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Come to think of it, I still envy rich women's houses." Lin Jiao said with a smile.

The best-built house in the village now is the village chief's house.

It was just a three-story red brick house with electricity connected to the village community, but people were reluctant to use it at night and basically lit the oil lamp.

"Yeah, I envy you too."

Chen Hui nodded, planning to save some money to renovate the old house.

Instead of building a house on the vacant land in front, we will turn it into a vegetable garden.

The ventilation of the small house where chickens and ducks are raised also needs to be re-arranged, otherwise the smell will be unbearable as soon as you enter.

There is also a toilet.

There is no sewer system in the village, how should the toilets be modified?

"Brother Chen Hui, what are you thinking about? Are you eating?" An Wenjing waved her hand in front of Chen Hui.

"Is it because there is no meat at all? You can't get used to it?"

"Ah?! Yes, I really can't get used to it."

Lin Jiao was just being polite, but she didn't expect Chen Hui to be so rude. She didn't know what to say for a moment and was left holding her chopsticks in embarrassment.

"Wenjing, shall we go hunting in the mountains this afternoon?"

"Let's go hunt a wild boar, so we'll have meat for ten days or half a month," said Chen Hui.

"Okay! Why not catch both? Sell one and eat the other."

An Wenjing smiled in support.

Wild boars are ferocious beasts and you can't just hit them.

"Forget about the wild rabbit, but it's not that easy to kill a wild boar. Don't even think about not seeing it. If you see it, it's better to stay away from it."

Lin Jiao said this and took out five dollars from her pocket and handed it to Chen Hui.

"What money?" Chen Hui was puzzled.

"My mother didn't cook the two wild rabbits the day before yesterday and sold them for five dollars," said An Wenjing.

"Hey, this is for us to eat! Why are you selling it?"

"Wenyi is still growing, how can she survive without any nutrition?" "We are getting married next month, and we will definitely have children after marriage. Wenjing should also eat more nutritious food to prepare for pregnancy."

Chen Hui was helpless against Lin Jiao's character of not wanting to take advantage of anyone.

"Preparing for pregnancy?"

Lin Jiao couldn't understand this word.

In the era when she gave birth to children, people gave birth as soon as they got pregnant, and there was no awareness of contraception.

Later, people were not allowed to have children.

Only people in the village know about the contraceptive ring. Few even know about condoms, let alone preparing for pregnancy.

"Ahem." Chen Hui cleared his throat and explained:

"I also heard it from the rich woman in the county."

"They say that during the first six months of pregnancy, you should avoid strenuous labor, eat more meat, and take more nutritional supplements."

"If you take good care of your body, you won't vomit so much during pregnancy, and your baby won't cry or make a fuss when it's born, and it will be easier to raise."

The rich lady who just had a grandson weighing 15 kilograms is talking about these things with others.

This makes perfect sense!

"Life in the city is so good. Why do people care so much before having a baby?"

"If you can really be pregnant without vomiting, it's really the blessing of the goddess."

Thinking of the time when she was pregnant with An Wenjing and An Wenyi, she vomited so much that stars were popping out of her eyes and she was unsteady on her feet. Lin Jiao stretched out her hands and bowed to the air.

"So eat all the rice and noodles you bought, and don't be reluctant to eat the meat either."

"I can make money, and I will definitely help Wen Jing live a good life." Chen Hui emphasized again.

"I know, I know." Lin Jiao put the money down, picked up the bowl and started eating again.

Chen Hui wanted to give the money to Lin Jiao.

An Wenjing held his hand and shook her head.

Chen Hui understood and put the money away without saying anything.

Coo coo coo, coo coo coo.

A rooster leisurely passed by the hall, stretched its neck, and crowed loudly.

"Mom, shall we make some chicken soup tonight?" Chen Hui said as he watched the rooster cackling away.

"what?!"

"Don't tell me that people in this city start eating chicken when they are preparing to get pregnant?" Lin Jiao said in surprise.

"That's not the case. I'm just greedy."

Chen Hui grinned and was so frank that Lin Jiao was speechless.

In addition, after what Chen Hui said last time, An Wenjing gave the money for buying chickens to Lin Jiao to return to her fellow villager.

Now, all the chickens in the house are Chen Hui’s property.

Lin Jiao nodded and said while eating, "Okay, let's kill one and stew it this afternoon."

"Just kill the chicken."

"."

An Wenyi, who had been eating silently beside Lin Jiao, raised his head and said, "Brother-in-law, it's only been boiled for a while, and you want to stew it?"

After lunch, An Wenjing washed the dishes.

Chen Hui found a smaller backpack and put two hatchets and a short-handled hoe into the backpack.

"You don't look like you're going hunting, but more like you're going to harvest something." Lin Jiao came over and flipped through it, and came to the following conclusion.

"The conditions are limited, so this is the only way. It's a pity that Uncle Xiaoqiao and the village chief are not here today, otherwise I could go to his house and borrow a gun."

"It's the weekend, and Ohashi should be at home."

"Uncle Ohashi won't lend me anything. I'm glad he doesn't scold me."

Chen Hui shrugged, packed up his things, and sat aside waiting for An Wenjing.

An Wenyi insisted on going together, but Lin Jiao took him back to his room to take a nap.

The naughty child was very hot-tempered and fought fiercely in the house. He only calmed down after two slaps.

"Let's go quickly."

An Wenjing washed the dishes, dried her hands, and hung up her apron.

Seeing that the space outside the door where the bicycle was parked just now was empty, his expression suddenly changed, "Where is my bike?"
