The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Seeing this, Lin Zhi nodded in satisfaction, smiled and nodded, then called everyone to go and enjoy dinner.

Upon hearing this, the five old men did not get up to eat immediately, but insisted on finishing copying the manuscript in their hands before standing up.

Wang Changshan stared at the sumptuous dinner in front of him, and a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.

He thought that he was enjoying delicious food here, while his wife and children at home could only fill their stomachs with porridge, so he made an excuse and said, "It's getting late, I'd better take it home to eat."

When others saw him doing this, they followed suit and asked to pack up their meals to take home and enjoy.

"Boss, the manuscript at the back hasn't dried completely yet, so don't move it now! We'll sort it out when we come back tomorrow."

One of the old men gave Lin Zhi some worried instructions, then carefully picked up the food and hurriedly walked towards home.

Lin Zhi first closed all the windows in the room to prevent the precious papers from getting wet by the sudden rain.

Then she carefully checked the door lock of the room to make sure it was secure and to prevent any strangers from breaking in.

At the same time, Wang Changshan on the other side was also rushing back home.

When he entered the house, he found that his family had already finished dinner. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still excitedly raised the dinner in his hand and shouted to his family:

"Look, I brought you some delicious food!"

However, in the face of his enthusiasm, his family's reaction was very cold.

In fact, Wang Changshan has always been pursuing the dream of fame and fortune and has never stopped.

In order to realize his dream of studying, his family's life became increasingly difficult.

In the past, the family had some savings, so no one had much objection to his decision to insist on studying.

However, in recent years, as the family assets have been gradually depleted, his family's dissatisfaction and complaints towards him have become increasingly intense.

They really couldn't bear such pressure any longer and were filled with complaints.

His family only eats two meals a day, but in fact each meal only contains a few grains of rice, which is not even as much as the amount of rice used in one meal of other families.

Wang Changshan would go out every day to write letters and copy books for others to earn some meager wages, but these incomes were far from enough to pay for his own studies, so he had to take out some money from his family to support himself.

How could his family have no complaints with such living conditions?

Over time, cracks have appeared in the relationship between him and his family.

However, since he was the head of the family, even though he was full of dissatisfaction, his family members could only endure it silently.

It's just that in daily life, their attitude towards the head of the family has become somewhat indifferent and distant.

Wang Changshan had long been accustomed to such changes in his family, and he dared not show any dissatisfaction at all.

After all, everything happens for a reason!

The culprit who caused the current situation is actually myself!

After all, he is not the kind of barbarian who is unreasonable and ignorant of the ways of the world. How could he be dissatisfied with the current situation?

"Dang, dang, dang, here are the delicious meals and meat!" Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Wang Changshan performed exaggeratedly.

He gently lifted the lid, and a rich, tempting aroma of meat instantly wafted out.

The nostalgic and extremely familiar smell made the Wang family, who had just enjoyed dinner, immediately feel hungry and their stomachs began to growl.

"Dad, if you have money, you can just buy your favorite writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Why do you have to spend money on these food?"

Wang Changshan’s eldest son stood up and accused without hesitation.

As long as Wang Changshan spent one more penny on other things, his whole family would rack their brains to find ways to earn one more penny to fill the gap.

Faced with such a situation, how could Wang Changshan’s son not be angry?

At this moment, other members of the Wang family also stared at him with reproachful eyes.

Does this head of the family really not care about the plight of his family? Has he ever considered everyone's feelings?

He is almost buried, can't he be more mature?

Wang Changshan felt very aggrieved, but he did not dare to show it. He could only lower his voice and explain to his family: "This really didn't cost any money."

His family members all frowned and stared at him closely, as if waiting for him to tell more lies.

Wang Changshan gritted his teeth and continued:

"I found a long-term copying job. The employer not only provided us with three meals a day, but this is my dinner."

However, his eldest son still frowned and looked at him questioningly:

"Who knows whether what you said is true or false?" Wang Changshan assured quickly:

"Of course it's true! I have dinner tomorrow night, and I'll bring it back for you to try then."

His son replied indifferently: "I hope you are telling the truth..."

At this time, Wang Changshan's wife stepped forward, took the food, and said:

"No matter whether what he said is true or not, now that we have brought it back, the most important thing is to fill our stomachs first."

What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Since the meal is right in front of us, everything we say is false.

The children in the family could no longer contain their inner eagerness. As soon as they saw their grandmother taking the food away, they immediately followed her, fearing that they would miss this delicious meal.

Wang Changshan's wife added a lot of water to the bowl of rice and cooked a pot of meat porridge.

After a busy period, the meat porridge was finally ready.

However, the appearance of this pot of porridge was not ideal and looked a bit messy.

Moreover, the food didn’t taste as good as when we first received it.

However, for the Wang family, this was already a very rare dinner.

After all, in this poor family, being able to fill their stomachs is the most important thing.

"Eat, eat well and sleep well."

At a command from Wang Changshan's wife, everyone picked up their bowls and began to eat voraciously.

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Wang Changshan, no one would forget to leave a portion for him when enjoying the food.

Wang Changshan also got a bowl of meat porridge.

He looked at the meat porridge in his hand silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.

On the one hand, he was grateful for his wife's care and concern; on the other hand, he felt guilty for his incompetence.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally just took a sip and handed the rest of the meat porridge to his wife.
