Chapter 216 County Recruitment

Chen Laosan was shocked. This Taoist priest was so amazing. He thanked him for 200 words.

The other four continued to work, and Gongsun Sheng arranged for Chen Laosan to go home. Before leaving, he patted Chen Laosan on the shoulder.

"Go home, the days of hardship will eventually pass. No matter what, you must be confident in life. Remember to come to work early tomorrow morning. I specially approved you to stay home to take care of your children."

"Thank you, Mr. Dao."

Chen Laosan didn't hold back and tears came down.

Chen Laosan wiped his tears and turned around and left.

There is a grain and oil shop at the gate of the city, which sells a lot of things. Two eggs cost per cent, twenty of them, three cents per pound of millet, and ten pounds of them. Pickles are very expensive, eight cents per pound, and I don’t want to buy more. I bought one pound, and I spent a total of 48 cents and bought a pack of things.

I rushed home quickly. It was dark in winter and the sky was already dim when I arrived at the entrance of the village.

When I opened the yard, I saw Dabao and Erbao playing in the yard. How could the child play in the yard on such a cold day? I immediately asked, "Where is your mother?"

"My mother said she had something to do in the house, so let's play outside."

Chen Laosan felt bad and had no time to put down his burden. He rushed into the door and fell to the ground.

I saw my wife putting a rope on the beam of the house.

"Get off quickly, get off quickly, I can't think so, I've found a living."

The wife cried into tears: "I have no breasts, I have to watch the child starve to death."

The family hugged their heads and cried bitterly. After a while, Chen Laosan pointed to the bag on the ground: "It's broken, there are twenty eggs in the bag, and it's probably useless."

The wife quickly got up, opened the bag and saw that the eggs were indeed broken. She quickly took the big porcelain bowl and barely put some together.

"Dad, where did you get the rice and eggs? Didn't you steal other people's things?"

Chen Laosan slapped his chest: "I, Chen Laosan, relying on craftsmanship, how could I steal things? Today Chen Shitou called me to go to the city gate to find a job, and the priest was a god. He actually thought that my wife and children were worried about their lives. He paid me 200 cents in advance and asked me to come back quickly. I didn't expect to catch up with you to do this, alas."

"Stop talking, I can't think about it for a while. Now, there are millet and eggs, and the problem has been solved."

Dabao Erbao looked at Sanbao, and Chen Laosan and his wife were busy cooking together, cooking some millet, and cutting the top pickles.

There were not many twenty eggs, so I had a luxury to make egg soup and eat them for the whole family.

When the person is energetic, everything will be done. After drinking two bowls of egg soup, the wife immediately got milk and fed it to Xiao Sanbao.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pounding.

Chen Laosan came over to open the door and saw Aunt San with a scarf wrapped around her head and a reed chicken in her arms.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

"Auntie comes here to bring a chicken to her niece-in-law. This is an old chicken. If you don't lay eggs, just stew the soup."

Hen soup is a big tonic. Such an old hen costs at least twenty cents. How could my aunt give it for no reason?

"Auntie sits in the room, just tell me if you have any questions."
