Chapter 10: Wu Jinhua's Gratitude

On ordinary days, Zhao Weiguo definitely wouldn't say such things. Generally speaking, Zhao Weiguo tends to favor Li Lijuan.

But today, Zhao Weiguo felt that it was a bit too much to have Zhao Xiulan busy with preparing dinner.

Zhao Xiulan didn't expect Zhao Weiguo to say that, and she also didn't expect her stubborn father to stand on her side this time.

But this is a good trend!

She will work hard to make Zhao Weiguo's heart come back from Ma Yumei and her daughter and fall on her and Zhao Xiuzhu.

Dinner was still simple.

A bowl of watery porridge with a few grains of rice, and a steamed bun with straw stalks.

It wasn't tasty and didn't fill the stomach at all.

After returning to her room, Zhao Xiulan quickly took out a cup of eight-treasure porridge and an egg from her space to fill her stomach.

In this era of food and material shortages, life is indeed difficult.

Unfortunately, the things in the space cannot be taken out. She has to figure out a way to bring back some things using legitimate means.

Not only does her diet need to improve, but Zhao Weiguo and Zhao Xiuzhu's diet also needs to be improved.

Especially Zhao Xiuzhu, who has become thin. It's strange to think that she can get nutrition from a bowl of watery porridge and a steamed bun every day.

After everyone rested, Zhao Xiulan took out a boiled egg from the space and handed it to Zhao Xiuzhu.

"Xiuzhu, here, eat the egg."

Even in the dark, Zhao Xiuzhu's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked Zhao Xiulan, "Sister, how do you still have eggs?"

Zhao Xiulan made up a reason, "Today, I saved a dog, and the captain rewarded me with this."

The child is naive and believed Zhao Xiulan's words. However, Zhao Xiuzhu didn't accept it and pushed it back to Zhao Xiulan, saying, "Sister, you eat it. You are still sick, so you should eat something for yourself!"

"If I give it to you, then take it. The captain gave me two, and I already secretly ate mine."

After hearing Zhao Xiulan's words, Zhao Xiuzhu accepted it.

A child of a few years old has no resistance to a boiled egg and quickly peeled it and ate it carefully.

While eating, Zhao Xiuzhu whispered, "Sister, boiled eggs are so delicious! If we could eat them every day, or even once a month or half a year, it would be great!"

Zhao Xiulan touched Zhao Xiuzhu's head and said, "With me here, I will find a way to get them for you in the future!"

Although she knew that this situation would be difficult to achieve, Zhao Xiuzhu still looked forward to it.

Early the next morning, Zhao Weiguo went to work first and would come back later for breakfast.

However, Wu Jinhua came early, carrying a basket with ten pounds of sweet potatoes to express her gratitude to Zhao Xiulan.

For Wu Jinhua, Zhao Xiulan saved the dog's life, which was a great favor. Whatever good things they had at home, they would bring them to Zhao Xiulan to show their gratitude.

Unfortunately, the rural people are very poor, and there's not much good food at home. The only thing they could bring was these sweet potatoes.

In a situation where even the rural areas are struggling to have enough food, Wu Jinhua's ability to bring ten pounds of sweet potatoes is already very generous.

Zhao Xiulan happened to be in the yard when Wu Jinhua saw her and warmly called out to her from a distance, "Xiulan, my girl!"

Seeing Wu Jinhua coming over, Zhao Xiulan smiled and asked, "Aunt Jinhua, why did you come?"
