Chapter 5 You didn't do stupid things, did you?

In the ward, Tang Wan sat sideways on the edge of the bed, staring at Niu Niu who was sleeping, as if she was crazy.

The effect of imported special medicines was far beyond her expectations.

After one injection, Niu Niu's high fever subsided in less than half an hour, and her body temperature had recovered to below 37 degrees.

At this moment, Tang Wan didn't think about anything in her head and she was empty.

It seemed as if there were only her and her own precious daughter left in the world.

"Wan'er?"

Chen Jianghe tiptoed over and said softly, "Did Niu Niu's fever go away?"

"Um."

Tang Wan nodded, her eyes never leaving her daughter.

"Are you hungry? I'll buy some food."

Chen Jianghe stretched out his palm and gently stroked Tang Wan's fair face with his fingertips, "You haven't eaten for a day and a night."

“Gu——!”

Tang Wan was about to speak, but her stomach screamed in disgrace.

Since Niu Niu had a fever the night before, Tang Wan had not had a drip of water. Now she has relaxed and realized that she is already hungry.

"Don't buy things outside, it's expensive...and it's not hygienic."

Tang Wan touched the few bills left in her pocket and said softly, "Jianghe, are you hungry too? Otherwise... you are here to guard me, and I will go back and cook some food to bring you here?"

Tang Wan said this, but her eyes could not move away from her daughter and her steps could not move at all.

"I'll go home to cook and bring it to eat with a thermos."

Chen Jianghe gently touched Tang Wan's head and left in one step or three steps.

Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, turned around and watched Chen Jianghe's figure disappear from her vision, with disbelief on her face and murmured, "When did he learn how to cook?"

...

When he returned home, Chen Jianghe looked at the small bungalow less than 40 square meters in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

This is the house he and Tang Wan rented, next to the urban village, barely considered a city district.

The monthly rent is 150 yuan, and the water and electricity bill is calculated separately.

In 2001, the per capita salary in Yanjing was about 1,000 yuan per month.

Because of his outstanding image, Tang Wan found a cosmetics counter in a shopping mall for sales, and the sales commission is only 1,500 yuan per month.

Apart from the money for children's milk powder and the family's food, drink, defecation and edema, they can't save any money at all.

Chen Jianghe is an orphan. Tang Wan insisted on marrying Chen Jianghe despite her family's opposition, and she almost broke up with her family.

When the two graduated from college, they decided to stay in Yanjing to "drift in the north" to make a move, in order to realize Chen Jianghe's entrepreneurial dream.

But Niu Niu's sudden birth completely disrupted the pace of life of the two people, and from then on, the dream became farther and farther away from it.

Last night, the two of them hurriedly left home with Niu Niu in their arms.

The room was messy, and the flames in the coal stove were already dying.

Chen Jianghe first added a coal ball to the coal stove, then slapped the air inlet with a palm fan for a while, and then burned the fire in the coal stove again.

The rice was already thin in the rice bag, so Chen Jianghe simply poured it into the pot and added some more water to make a pot of porridge.

Then I searched the room and found a small piece of lean meat and chopped it up. I washed the remaining leaves and put them all into the pot.

As the porridge was slowly boiling in the pot, Chen Jianghe rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the messy house inside and out.

Looking at the poor house, Chen Jianghe could not find anything to eat except Niu Niu's milk powder, and his heart became more and more sour.

Because of his excessive ambition and lack of professionalism, Tang Wan has been silently supporting this family in the past two years, and life has been too difficult.

In any case, let’s make money first and let Tang Wan and her daughter live a good life.

Chen Jianghe's thought became more and more determined. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails were so eager to pierce into the flesh in his palm!

At this time, a smell of scent suddenly came.

Chen Jianghe shouted "It's not good" and hurried to the coal stove, seeing that the pot of porridge was already muddy.

If it were before rebirth, he would definitely order a takeaway or simply go out to the restaurant.

But now there is only one food at home, and Tang Wan is still hungry now!

In desperation, Chen Jianghe had to use an iron spoon to carefully scrape the white porridge that was not covered with a batter into the thermos cup.

But no matter how careful I was, I still got in with a little dark bottom.

...

In the hospital ward, Tang Wan held the black and yellow white porridge in the thermos cup, and tears fell down her face.

"I'm really useless...why don't you stop eating?"

Chen Jianghe wished he could slap his mouth.

I just swear to let Tang Wan and her mother live a good life with me, but now I let Tang Wan eat the porridge that has been muddy!

Fortunately, Niu Niu is out of danger after being rescued, which is a blessing among many misfortunes.

"No, I want to eat."

Tang Wan wiped a handful of tears hanging on her cheeks, picked up an iron spoon, scooped a little porridge and put it into her mouth.

Immediately, her tears burst out again.

"It's very bitter, right? Otherwise, you'd better stop eating?"

Chen Jianghe scratched his head while watching, and persuaded him.

"Not bitter at all... it's sweet, so delicious."

Tang Wan wiped her tears while eating white porridge.

After a while, I tried a full cup of black, yellow and burnt white porridge, and I ate no grain of rice.

How could it be sweet if there is no sugar in the porridge?

Chen Jianghe looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to understand something.

Since the two got married, he has never done housework for Tang Wan, nor has he cooked a meal!

This bowl of porridge was the first time he made it for Tang Wan by himself!

Even if it is arsenic, Tang Wan will drink it like honey!

Several years later, Tang Wan and Chen Jianghe were lying on the comfortable and spacious Simmons bed in a private yacht, recalling the smell of the bowl of porridge at that time.

Tang Wan looked at Chen Jianghe with a smile, and said with love in her eyes, "That is the bitterest bowl of porridge I have ever drunk in my life, but it sweetened my whole heart when I drink it."

...

After a bowl of porridge was in his stomach, Tang Wan felt relieved.

She closed her eyes and squinted for a while, and suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Chen Jianghe without a moment, keeping Chen Jianghe looking at her.

"Jianghe, tell me the truth, what did you run out before? You didn't do anything stupid, did you?"
