No one knew how much time had passed.
Liu Qian finally came to her senses.
She hurriedly pushed Ye Jianguo away and said with a flushed face, “Jianguo, it’s broad daylight.”
Ye Jianguo smiled and said, “So what if it’s broad daylight?”
“You’re my wife.”
How could Liu Qian possibly endure such words? She hurriedly pushed Ye Jianguo out of the room and said with a flushed face, “Jianguo, go make breakfast. I’ll listen to you.”
Seeing this, Ye Jianguo burst out laughing.
Afterward,
he walked toward the kitchen.
He wanted to see what there was to eat in the kitchen.
However,
when he entered the kitchen and saw the nearly empty rice jar,
there was hardly any wheat flour left either.
There was, however, a single ear of corn in the cupboard.
But
that ear of corn was very old. Its kernels had already lost their moisture and dried out.
There was even
very little oil or salt left.
It could be said that
this family truly had nothing.
Seeing this,
Ye Jianguo could not help cursing his predecessor again.
What a damned fool.
He clearly earned twenty yuan in wages every month.
If he had lived properly, things would never have become this shabby.
They could at least have eaten their fill.
And yet,
the family now had nothing.
Afterward,
he picked up the wheat flour and prepared to make some noodles.
However,
after washing his hands, he suddenly saw a ring tattoo on his hand that he had no idea when he had acquired.
This stunned him.
He knew very clearly that his predecessor had absolutely never had a ring tattoo.
Yet
now
there was a ring tattoo on his hand.
Ye Jianguo could not help touching the tattoo.
The next moment,
streams of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.
After digesting these memories, his face was filled with astonishment.
Then
he was overwhelmed with joy.
Because
just now, he had actually obtained the Medical Sage’s inheritance.
The current him was practically Hua Tuo reborn.
No difficult ailment or illness could stump him.
He could even
bring someone back to life as long as they were not dead.
This confidence came from the medical skills bestowed upon him by the Medical Sage’s inheritance.
At the same time,
he discovered that the ring tattoo actually contained a mysterious space.
This spatial dimension was as large as two mu.
Within it were a plot of cultivated land, a spring well, and a chicken coop.
As for the area farther away, it was shrouded in mist,
surrounded by a mass of chaotic energy.
Ye Jianguo looked at this spatial dimension.
He fell into deep thought.
What use could this cultivated land have?
Could he grow things there?
And then there was
the chicken coop, which did not contain any chickens.
Would he have to buy chicks and raise them inside?
Afterward,
Ye Jianguo remembered the single ear of corn in the cupboard.
With a thought,
he exited the mysterious space.
He walked to the cupboard, picked up the ear of corn, touched the ring tattoo on his hand again, and reentered the mysterious space.
With another thought,
the corn in his hand was actually planted in the cultivated land.
Before his eyes, corn seedlings sprouted from the cultivated land at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than a minute,
the corn had actually matured.
All the corn across the large plot of cultivated land had ripened.
Seeing this, Ye Jianguo was ecstatic.
With a thought,
all the corn in the cultivated land was harvested.
He had harvested five hundred kilograms of corn.
Every ear of corn was exceptionally beautiful.
The kernels were plump.
There was even
a faint fragrance.
This was simply too miraculous.
With a thought, Ye Jianguo’s consciousness left the mysterious space.
At the same time,
several ears of corn appeared in his hands.
He looked at the corn in his hands and inhaled its faint fragrance.
His heart burned with excitement.
He now knew how to use this mysterious space.
It could actually be used to grow things.
Moreover,
the crops matured far too quickly.
For him now, this was truly far too important.
One had to understand that
it was currently the 1960s.
In this era, material goods were scarce.
Even eating one’s fill was difficult, while eating well was even harder.
Everything required ration coupons.
Meat coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, bicycle tickets, and so on.
Many times, even having money was not enough to buy anything.
That was precisely the situation.
Eating well was truly no easy matter.
But
now
that he possessed this mysterious space, he no longer had to worry about food.
Whatever was lacking could simply be planted.
Moreover,
there was also a chicken coop inside.
He could presumably raise chickens, ducks, and the like.
This was absolutely a divine artifact.
Not to mention
that he had also obtained the Medical Sage’s inheritance.
Thinking of this,
Ye Jianguo’s heart burned even more fiercely.
He became even more confident in the future.
After quite some time,
he finally suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Then he began peeling the corn.
He decided to boil the corn and taste it.
As for the wheat flour,
he would leave it for now.
After peeling the corn, Ye Jianguo glanced at the water in the water vat.
He remembered that there seemed to be a spring well inside the mysterious space.
With a thought, the water in the vat disappeared.
The next moment,
the vat was full of water again.
The water naturally came from the spring well inside the mysterious space.
Seeing this water,
Ye Jianguo was completely satisfied.
He began lighting the fire and boiling the corn.
Ten minutes later,
the water boiled.
The fragrance of the boiled corn drifted out as well.
A beautiful figure appeared at the kitchen door.
It was Liu Qian.
Smelling the fragrance of the corn, Liu Qian walked over and asked, “Jianguo, are you boiling corn?”
“The ear of corn in the cupboard was so old that it couldn’t be eaten.”
Ye Jianguo smiled and said, “Wife, I threw away the ear of corn from the cupboard.”
“The corn I’m boiling now was bought yesterday.”
Liu Qian was taken aback and asked, “Jianguo, you bought corn yesterday? How come I didn’t know?”
Ye Jianguo nodded and said, “That’s right. I bought it yesterday, but I put it in a corner, so you probably didn’t see it.”
Liu Qian did not suspect anything.
However,
she still said, “Jianguo, you should buy less corn from now on. You might as well buy some rice or wheat flour.”
Clearly,
in Liu Qian’s view, spending money on corn was far less worthwhile than buying rice and wheat flour.
Those were the staples that could actually fill one’s stomach.
As for corn,
could ordinary people even afford to eat it?
Ye Jianguo smiled and said, “Wife, don’t worry. When I come home from work today, I’ll buy some rice and wheat flour.”
Liu Qian looked at Ye Jianguo, thought for a moment, and finally asked, “Jianguo, do you still have any money?”
“If not, I still have five yuan here. I’ll give it to you to buy some.”
That was all her savings.
If this had been the old Ye Jianguo, Liu Qian would never have admitted that she still had money.
But
the current Ye Jianguo had already made a prodigal’s return.
Liu Qian had no doubts about Ye Jianguo.
Hearing Liu Qian’s words, Ye Jianguo smiled and teased her, “Wife, didn’t you just say you had no money? How do you have money now?”
Liu Qian was instantly embarrassed.
However,
she still replied, “If you were still like before, I definitely wouldn’t have any money to give you.”
“That’s my last bit of savings.”
“But you’re different now. You won’t squander it, so I’ll get it for you.”
After Liu Qian finished speaking, she went to get the money.
Ye Jianguo hurriedly said, “Wife, there’s no need. I have money. You forgot—I only received my wages yesterday.”
What Ye Jianguo did not say was that his predecessor, that bastard, had already gambled away all the wages he had received yesterday.
But
he naturally could not say that.
He did not want Liu Qian to worry.
Besides,
he already had a plan.
Even without money, he could still find a way to obtain rice and wheat flour.
Hearing Ye Jianguo’s words, Liu Qian was deeply moved.
At the same time,
she became even more certain in her heart.
Ye Jianguo had truly made a prodigal’s return.
If this had been the old Ye Jianguo, he would already have impatiently snatched away the last of her money.
How could he possibly have acted like this?
Ye Jianguo actually did not want her money.
Therefore,
Liu Qian was deeply moved.
Seeing Liu Qian’s expression, Ye Jianguo walked over, pinched her cheek, and smiled. “Wife, rest assured. Our family will only get better from now on.”
“We won’t have to worry about three meals a day anymore.”
“I promise.”
At these words, Liu Qian’s eyes reddened.
However,
she nodded vigorously.
Just then,
a voice calling “Mom” sounded from behind Liu Qian.
It turned out that the two little girls, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, had woken up.
At this moment,
they were standing not far from the doorway.
They looked at Ye Jianguo timidly.
Toward Ye Jianguo,
they felt fear and terror.
When Ye Jianguo saw that the two girls had woken up, his eyes lit up.
So adorable.
So cute.
Like porcelain dolls.
These were his two darling daughters.
Ye Jianguo walked toward them, a gentle expression appearing on his face, and smiled. “Oh, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, you’re awake.”
“Come let Dad hold you.”
However,
as Ye Jianguo walked toward them, the adorable Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were frightened into tears.
“Mom... smack...”
“Mom.......”
They cried as they backed away, as if they had seen some terrifying beast.
