How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Wang Yong was full of doubts when he saw Xia Tian coming out of the main room with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was happy and worried at the same time.

"Dad, you're back." Xia Tian looked back into the house, "Mom, she's pregnant."

"What?" Wang Yong suspected there was something wrong with his ears. "What did you say? Are you pregnant?"

"Yes, the doctor said so. Mom's resting. Go in and take a look." Xia Tian stepped aside and watched Wang Yong go in, but didn't follow. His slightly childish face was filled with worry about the future. Now that his parents had their own children, would they still treat them well? Would they kick them out? He could take his brothers with him, but what about his sister?

Wang Yong walked into the room quietly, and Xia Chu and the others gathered around the bed. Dong Xiaohuan remembered and was pressed down by several pairs of small hands.

"Mom! The doctor said! You need to rest for three days!" Xia Chu said seriously with a stern face.

"Three days!" Guan Xu nodded and repeated.

"How can I be so pampered? I still have to get up and cook. Your father will be back soon." Dong Xiaohuan looked helpless.

"Brother, do it!" Xia Chu said.

"I'll do it." Zhang Zhou said.

"I'll make the fire!" Guan Xu raised his little hand.

"Xiaohuan." Wang Yong called out, his voice so soft as if he was afraid of scaring someone.

"Brother Yong? You're back!" Dong Xiaohuan seemed to have seen a savior, "I'll get up and cook."

"Don't move, don't move." Wang Yong quickly stepped forward and pressed her shoulders. "Xia Tian said, you have a child?"

Dong Xiaohuan was delighted and shy, stroking her belly and nodding gently, "I didn't expect that he would come after I gave up."

Wang Yong let go of his hand and took two steps back, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear. He clenched his fist and waved it twice, feeling so excited that he didn't know how to vent. Seeing Guan Xu looking up at him, he grabbed his armpits with both hands and lifted him up, "We have a baby, we have a baby, we have a baby!"

Xia Chu was also happy, but Zhang Zhou's mouth corners slowly fell. He turned around and glanced at his mother, who was also unable to suppress her smile. He stood up and walked outside. His eldest brother was sitting on the steps outside the door, looking at the sky in a daze. Perhaps his eldest brother had also thought of it, "Brother."

"Xiao Zhou, it's okay. Maybe it won't happen." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Zhang Zhou, however, disagreed. His village had also previously had an adopted child named Yuanbao. They were relatives of the same clan, but within two years, the adopted family had a biological child. He heard the village aunts talk about how an adopted child could never compare to a biological one. Sure enough, the family that had adopted the child began to dislike Yuanbao. They even wanted to return the child, but they didn't want him back, considering they had given him away in the first place because they couldn't afford to raise him.

Yuanbao's good days were coming to an end. He used to have eggs to eat and would show them off to his friends. But later on, he couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone eggs, and he had endless work to do every day.

Perhaps the good fortune they'd gained through their suffering would finally pay off. This period of time had truly been blissful. He felt a little uneasy, as if these days were unreal, like a dream. Dreams always have to end one day.

Is it time to wake up now?

Outside the door, two people sat at the door with dejected looks, as if they were going to be kicked out tomorrow.

Inside the door, Guan Xu was amused by being thrown up high and laughed continuously.

"Alright, alright, put it down quickly. I heard that children shouldn't play too wildly in the evening, otherwise they will wet the bed at night." Dong Xiaohuan stopped the father and son from playing wildly, "Go buy some food. I'm worried about the children getting burned when I cook."

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll go right away." Wang Yong held Guan Xu in his arms. "Want to go with Dad?"

"Go!" Guan Xu hugged his father's head and whispered coquettishly, "Dad, can I have a chicken leg?"

"Eat! Let's go buy a big roast chicken!" Wang Yong was very happy, and besides, a chicken was not an excessive request.

"Just buy something the kids like. I don't have anything special to eat." Dong Xiaohuan touched Xia Chu's head. "What do you want to eat, Xiaochu?"

Xia Chu thought for a moment and said, "Let's order something light. Mother is not feeling well today."

"Okay, I'll go." Wang Yong walked to the door and saw his other two sons looking listless. "What are you doing? Xia Tian, go get a lunch box and go out with Dad to buy food."

"Oh." Xia Tian patted his butt, stood up, and went to get the lunch box.

"I never thought this day would come." Wang Yong chuckled, looking down at his three sons. If he had another son, wouldn't that make four? He'd be so impressive out there. And if he were a girl, with three older brothers protecting her, no one would dare bully her. And when she gets married, her husband wouldn't dare treat her with the slightest bit of neglect. Five children in the family would be both beautiful and a source of worry.

I have to work hard to make money, Wang Yong thought happily.

After dinner, Xia Tian rushed to wash the dishes. Guan Xu looked at the clean table and said, "Shouldn't I wash the dishes today? Is it Big Brother's turn?"

"Brother, aren't you worried?" Zhang Zhou was still a little uneasy.

"Don't think too much." Xia Tian buried his head in washing dishes.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Chu saw the two of them huddled together, so he came over and squatted down.

"Nothing." Xia Tian smiled at his sister, "Aren't you going to accompany mother?"

"Dad and Mom are having a private conversation." Xia Chu reached out her hand to help, but Zhang Zhou snatched it away. "You go play, my brother and I are here."

"Tomorrow, let's set up our own stall and let Mom rest at home. We'll just sell fresh sausages, and forget about the pancakes for now." Xia Chu felt she'd been slacking off. Fresh sausages alone wouldn't be enough; it would be best to add something else and specialize in fried skewers. She'd have to ask about the prices of popular chicken racks, drumsticks, fillets, and tenderloins, and there was also the question of how to marinate them.

After washing the dishes, Zhang Zhou went to boil some hot water and called his parents to wash up.

After taking a shower, Xiatian just remembered that the stall cart was still in front and had not been washed.

After Wang Yong finished taking care of his wife, he watched her lie down. He came out to get some water and found his eldest son washing the stall cart by himself. "Xiaotian, you go to sleep. Daddy will wash it."

Xia Tian turned around and smiled, "Dad, go to sleep. I'll be done soon. It'll be quick."

Seeing that persuasion was unsuccessful, Wang Yong stopped nagging and started washing with him. Thinking of how he seemed preoccupied during the day, he tentatively asked, "Did setting up the stall go well today? Or did Mom feel unwell and scare you? Dad saw that you didn't look too happy."

"No." Xia Tian lowered his head, not daring to express his worries, for fear that his father would think he didn't want his mother to have a child.

Wang Yong was carefree and didn't think much of it. He didn't think a child would lie. "Just tell Dad if you have anything to say, okay?"

"Yes, I will."

The father and son worked together and quickly cleaned the stall. Wang Yong patted Xia Tian's head and said, "Go to bed early, or you won't grow tall."

Xiatian missed the warmth brought by that big hand, but she didn't know if her father would still want her brothers and sisters when they had them in the future. "I know, Dad, I'm going to bed now. You should go to bed early too."

"it is good."
