After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

夜晚

In the master bedroom of the second house of the Xie family, after a passionate night of lovemaking between Ruolan and Shuisheng, Shuisheng was still excited and wanted to go for another round.

Ruolan wouldn't stand for it; if this continued, she wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!

Ruolan was eagerly anticipating discussing the spoils of this trip with Shuisheng; she had been looking forward to it ever since he returned.

Shuisheng traveled a long way this time, staying away for about ten days. He had stored up a lot of grain in the past few years, and now was the perfect time to exchange it for more scarce goods.

Thinking about how inconvenient it would be to cook in the future, Shuisheng hugged his wife and said:

"Since it's just the beginning and no one goes to the back mountain often, let's go there tomorrow and make the meat in the space into meat sauce. It will be easier to secretly improve our lives in the future."

Ruolan thought that her husband had taken too long a leave of absence this time. Now that he was back, if he didn't go to work, people would gossip about him again.

"Why don't you go work for a couple of days first? We can make meat sauce later when we have time. The fields are dry right now, and we need male laborers to carry water to irrigate them."

Although fetching water is just a drop in the ocean, everyone is merely going through the motions.

"You've been gone for so long this time, your parents have asked about it several times already!"

Ever since they heard that Shuisheng had asked for leave to go to the city to find work, everyone laughed at him, saying he was dreaming.

If it were so easy to find a secure job in the city, wouldn't all these country bumpkins be scrambling to get in?

Every time Ruolan went to work, those who were just watching the spectacle or those who genuinely wanted to advise her would ask her to persuade Shuisheng to stop daydreaming, work hard, and earn more work points.

The whole family depends on him to support them!

Ruolan always puts on an act of "my man makes the decisions, and I listen to him" to deal with everyone's concern, whether genuine or feigned.

Shuisheng was actually aware that people in the brigade were gossiping behind his back, but he didn't care.

If his family didn't have a job to support them, how could they have survived the famine without a few people starving to death? People would have suspected something was wrong with their family.

After all, the food they earn right now is really not enough to feed their family of nine.

Seeing his wife looking worried, Shuisheng comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to my second uncle tomorrow and tell him that I've found a job in the city."

Upon hearing this, Ruolan was so surprised that she immediately sat up straight and asked with great joy, "Really?"

"Of course, I worked as a porter in a department store." He said this with a hint of pride.

This job as a porter was obtained after a tremendous amount of effort.

"Being a mover isn't bad either; at least I have a job, it's just a bit far from home."

"It's alright, we have bicycles, right? It only takes three hours to go back and forth."

"Isn't this very tiring for you?"

Shuisheng kissed his wife and teased, "Well, who told me I can't live without my wife? Hahaha."

If she could bear to look at him, she would be immune to Shui Sheng's sweet talk in private.

Shuisheng is quite laid-back about everything he does. He just wants to have a pension so he and his wife can enjoy their old age together.

Moreover, raising a child is not as good as raising a job, at least a job is stable and secure.

Thinking of his haul from this trip, Shuisheng immediately picked up his wife and said happily, "I've got a lot this time! Wait a minute, let me find where I put it and show it to you."

He did collect some things, but he just couldn't remember where he put them; he'd have to look for them carefully.

"Open it and take a look, I guarantee you'll like it."

Ruolan was filled with curiosity when she saw the man acting mysteriously.

When Ruolan opened the small box, wow, it was glittering with gold necklaces, gold bracelets and the like, and oh, there were even little yellow croakers!

Seeing this, Ruolan hugged Shuisheng's head and kissed him twice, excitedly saying, "Brother Shuisheng, we're set for life now."

Seeing his wife so happy, Shuisheng felt a sense of accomplishment and pride.

"It's the most cost-effective time to exchange these, so I exchanged more. I only want gold; I didn't take any other jewelry, antiques, or paintings because I don't recognize them and I'm afraid they might be fake."

Ruolan nodded repeatedly, but still couldn't help but remind her, "This is enough. Don't go on any more adventures, it's too dangerous."

"You can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. It's not worth losing your life for these things."

Shui Sheng thought so too; for the next 20 years, he would absolutely not step out of the territory of Nanzhou City.

Ruolan admired it for a while, then said, "Quickly put it away, it's not safe to leave it outside."

Shuisheng obediently put it away, then conjured two more apples from his spatial storage and handed them to his wife so she could have a taste.

When Ruolan saw the apple, she was surprised again. "My God, an apple! This apple is so juicy and tender. I've never seen one like it before, except in my past life."

Nanzhou has a lot of fruit, but it doesn't have apples.

Seeing that she liked it, Shuisheng boasted, "I bought a lot of apples, and pears too. I also bought you a few cans of malted milk powder, and I bought 10 bottles of Moutai to store."

Smelling the fresh aroma of apples, Ruolan's mouth watered. Shuisheng's wife still had a good appetite, so he took out some beef jerky he had bought outside. After she finished eating, he made her a cup of malted milk powder.

The couple happily cooked a special meal in their room.

Meanwhile, in the other room, several young men were screaming in pain.

There was no way around it; my butt and face hurt so much that I couldn't help but groan.

The next morning, Shuisheng went to find the brigade leader, while Ruolan handed Hejun the morning rations, since it was his turn to cook that day.

He Jun glanced at the bag of cornmeal in his hand and said with a smile, "Mom, there's more."

Looking at He Jun's ruddy little face, Ruolan thought: This child didn't get a beating from his father yesterday. However, he is honest and simple, not as cunning as his third brother. He's just too naive; he believes everything his third brother says.

"What else? This is all the cornmeal we have today. There are a lot of people in our family, so please add more cabbage when you cook, otherwise I'm afraid it won't be enough for us."

"Go get another handful of pickled cabbage from the pickling jar and stir-fry it. Use less oil. We have to be frugal with our food now, otherwise you'll be starving in the winter."

"Is our family already in such dire straits?" He Jun asked, frowning slightly.

"That's right, doesn't your mother seem like the kind of person who's reluctant to part with food?"

“Your father didn’t bring anything back from this trip. People outside can’t even get wild vegetable buns. You should cherish what you have to eat now.”

“You brothers still want to act big in front of outsiders? Tell me, do you think you deserve to be beaten? You should be grateful that you have food to eat.”

When He Jun thought about how his family would go hungry in the future, his little brows furrowed so deeply that they could trap a fly.
