The Blessed

"I heard that someone just wouldn’t grow fat however much he eats. Is our Jingxuan that kind of constitution?”

On hearing her, Lady Mu was also confused. What good methods do their village people have? Just eat as much as possible.

"I suppose so. Alas...now I only hope that he wouldn’t lose some weight.”

Throwing a peer at her son, Lady Wang made a helplessly sigh. While Ling Jingxuan who they had been complained about for long comforted her with a smile, “Mom, you shouldn’t judge a person whether he is healthy or not through his weight. Your son I am in perfect condition. See? Shanzi and others feel my impulse in turns every day! So stop worrying about me. I am a doctor, I know my own condition. Rest assured. I am quite good.”

A few years ago, this body had suffered too much. For this lifetime, he could never grow fast. But it wasn’t that bad. Though eating and sleeping all day, he didn’t have to worry about he’d turn into a fat pig someday. Besides, he owned a bisexual body, and his uterus was smaller than a woman. If the baby was too big, he couldn’t even have a natural labor. Shanzi’s medical skills had improved fast, but he still wasn’t good enough to do a surgery alone. So, he even planned to restrict his diet, in case the baby would grow too big.

"Yes, yes, yes, you always have your own reason. I admit defeat. Oh, by the way, big sister-in-law, how is your business recently?”

Lady Wang threw him an angry look and then tried to switch the topic to her family’s sour&spicy rice noodles business. In such cold weather, it wouldn’t be quite good.

“Not bad. After it gets cold, fewer people would come have it. So we changed it to spicy rice noodles, no vinegar, and it is not bad. But not as good as when in summer. But, those pot-stewed food sells better and better. And we are planning to purchase a storefront in the town.”

In recent months, they had earned a lot. Though they couldn’t compare with Lady Wang, it had greatly improved their living condition. Plus, the late rice was a good harvest, and her parents didn’t put too much heart into it. Now they all had some spare money in the hands, and they were quite satisfied with their present situation. People should be too greedy, otherwise, one would end up like Lady Han and her daughter, who even had no idea how they had died.

“Still to sell rice noodles and pot-stewed food?”

Ling Jingxuan suddenly cut in, before he had meant to hand the hot pot business to them. But after Lady Han and her daughter’s thing, their relationship had been frozen there for some time. At the time, he happened to become a shareholder of Xinyuan, so the hot pot business was handed to Xinyuan. Now they their relationship had broken the rice, and his second uncle was still as good as before. He still planned to give them a hand, and took it as a favor to his mother.

"Hmm. We can’t do other stuff. Jingxuan, do you have any better idea?”

When men spoke, of course women had no place. Wang Jinfu picked up the talk. Wang Jingui and his two brothers also looked over. In fact, they had already planned to come to ask for his suggestion, but…Alas, long story!

"Ha ha, in fact it shouldn’t be called a good idea, I just think that since you buy a storefront and still does the same business, it’s not better than a stall. If you want to buy a storefront, you got to buy one with a backyard. Leave two people in the storefront in town every day. In the morning, you open it to sell some rice noodles, noodles and wantons for breakfast, and at noon, you can sell pot-stewed food and fried dishes, like hot and spicy crayfish and cold dishes. And at night, prepare more dishes. As long as the customer orders dishes, rice is for free. Anyhow, you have a good harvest of the late rice. And you don’t have to purchase it, right? And then, your business will be quite good. Uncles, you can consider it.”

What Ling Jingxuan said was somewhat like the sidewalk snack vendor in modern times. As long as their dishes tasted good enough, and the rice was for free, their business would be good.

"This is a good idea, although the rice is free, it’d be small profits but quick turnover. We can grow more crops next year. It’s just, how to make that hot and spicy crayfish? Jingxuan, I know I am stupid. And we are farmers for generations. I am afraid that the dishes we cook taste not good enough.

Having troubled his big nephew too often, Wang Jinfu also felt a bit embarrassed. But he was a farmer, he really couldn’t do it.

"Look at what you are talking about, uncle. We are family. Later, I will tell sister-in-law Song. My aunts can go learn from her later. But, don’t leak the method to anyone else.”

Ling Jingxuan just liked his honesty. So he felt a lot closer to them, and was willing to help them from his heart. One could imagine how happy that old couple looked. Lady Wang also smiled heartily. Her son helping her family was giving her face. How could she not feel happy?

"Hmm, later I will ask your big aunt and others to learn from her. Jingxuan, I really don’t know how to express my gratitude, you…”

"Don’t say that. Big uncle, still those words. We are family. Just let me know if you need anything. Even if I can’t do it, we can talk, right?”

Wang Jinfu was so excited and nearly said some words he shouldn’t say again. Ling Jingxuan decisively stopped him. The thing about Lady Han and her daughter was the pain in his heart. The New Year was coming. In case of any embarrassment, better not to mention it.

“Hmm, I know. You also take care of yourself. A pregnant person can’t work hard. Look at what I am saying. I only said those words after asking you a big favor. This is so embarrassing.”

"Ha ha..."

Wang Jinfu complained about himself, and the whole family started to laugh, and the little knot in the heart was also gone with it. All in all, Wang family was quite honest, so Ling Jingxuan would love to associate with them.
