Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

When Han Laosi returned to the soy sauce factory, he saw that Li Dahua had also come.

He smiled at Li Dahua, saw her feeding the big yellow dog, and then went back to his office.

After shaving his head and face, he felt much more relaxed. These past few days, the well at the brick factory had been making him anxious, and he had nightmares for two or three days in a row.

Strangely enough, after he finally convinced himself to prepare to terminate the lease, Han Laosi's nightmare stopped.

He was too embarrassed to approach Chen Youwei, so he went to Accountant Wang instead and finalized the lease termination. Accountant Wang definitely wouldn't give him the deposit.

Although Han Laosi felt sorry for him, there was nothing he could do.

Coincidentally, the day after he moved out, the master's young apprentice came again, bringing a note written by the master himself. The last note had left Han Laosi with a bad feeling, but seeing the young apprentice smiling this time, he figured the note wasn't anything bad.

Sure enough, when Han Laosi unfolded the note, he saw eight characters neatly written on it:

"Losing money can avert disaster; good fortune will come."

These words truly resonated with Han Laosi, providing him with psychological comfort.

The master is indeed a master. Although he made occasional mistakes, such as the deep well, those were when he encountered a tough opponent. As long as he performs normally, he will still do well.

He certainly didn't expect that this was a letter sent by Chen Wenfeng to the master, telling him that the opportunity was fleeting and this was the best time to convince Han Laosi.

The master seized the opportunity and captured Han Laosi again.

The master felt this was no big deal for him; Chen Wenfeng was the one who had foreseen everything. He even wanted to become Chen Wenfeng's apprentice, thinking it would be better to have a master to protect him!

Unsurprisingly, Chen Wenfeng refused. He didn't want to endorse this charlatan, and besides, this master wasn't after him as a teacher, but rather his money.

Faced with the master's enthusiasm, Chen Wenfeng only offered him a single word of advice:

roll~

......

......

The big yellow dog had lost weight, and Li Dahua felt sorry for it. She brought some meat bones so that the big yellow dog could have some meat again.

When the big yellow dog saw Li Dahua, its tail practically broke off. This was its true owner; it was very intelligent and knew who treated it well and who didn't.

Li Dahua also brought some snacks from the county town for the workers, who all called her "Boss Lady," which made Li Dahua very happy.

Of course, Li Dahua didn't know that these people usually called Qin Xiaofen "Boss Lady".

After all, whoever provides the milk is the mother.

There's a frozen praying mantis on the wall of the soy sauce factory, and not far from it is a cicada that's half-eaten.

This is a real-life version of the mantis stalking the cicada.

Li Dahua doesn't want to be a cicada, nor a mantis; she wants to be a sparrow.

This is what her uncle taught her when she went back to her parents' home.

That time, the uncle, her, and two of her cousins ​​were playing cards.

In one hand, everyone was evenly matched, but the uncle kept playing defensively and eventually won.

He told Li Dahua that life is like playing cards. No matter if you have good or bad cards, or if you're on a winning streak or a losing streak, no one knows who will win or lose until the very last moment.

Stay calm and never reveal your hand unless you can deliver a fatal blow to your opponent.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; that oriole is someone she should learn from.

Li Dahua listened and gradually learned and changed.

On the surface, she was still the same stupid old woman in Han Laosi's eyes, but she had undergone a great change inside.

She wasn't in a hurry to make a decision, much less to take action. She was prepared to quietly observe, watching Han Laosi, Qin Xiaofen, and all of them as they went about their business.

After she had this idea, she suddenly felt that the sky was bright and the air was fresh.

She is no longer afraid of Han Laosi causing trouble for others, nor is she afraid of others targeting Han Laosi.

If someone came to the soy sauce factory to cause trouble at night, she would even offer to hand them a ladder.

"Honey, I'll cook the meals at the factory. That way we can have a change of pace."

Li Dahua lowered her stance and offered Han Laosi some advice.

Han Laosi liked the food Li Dahua cooked. Although it wasn't particularly amazing, it was delicious and comforting.

There were also workers cooking in the factory, but firstly, Han Laosi's food allowance was small, and secondly, it was communal cooking, so the food wasn't very good.

Han Laosi also eats. Although he is stingy, he is not stingy when it comes to himself. He will occasionally go out to eat.

Han Laosi agreed to Li Dahua's suggestion, but he didn't want her to stay there any longer. Ultimately, he found her an eyesore and an obstacle to seeing Qin Xiaofen's pretty face. After thinking for a moment, Han Laosi said:

"Come and cook one meal a day, then go home and rest. You don't have to work so hard."

Li Dahua was touched, having not heard Han Laosi speak of such a relationship for many years. Although she knew the meaning behind Han Laosi's words, she still couldn't help but feel moved.

Of course, this feeling of being moved only lasted a few seconds before reason and calmness quickly took over.

That day, Li Dahua personally cooked lunch and even paid extra to increase the food allowance significantly.

A rare treat: scrambled eggs, radish soup, pancakes, and pickled vegetables.

Han Laosi enjoyed the meal immensely. He ate several pancakes and drank two bowls of radish soup.

He even forgot to worry about the cost of food.

Qin Xiaofen was very good at pretending in front of Li Dahua, always calling her "sister" and she ate quite a lot.

Delicious and comforting.

After finishing his third bowl of soup, Fatty whispered to Hou Laizi:

"Lai Zi, I'm not going to Jiming Mountain tonight. I ate a bit too much at lunch."

Hou Laizi glanced at the good-for-nothing chubby boy and said:

"Go or not, it's up to you, but I'm going anyway. Oh, and Brother Feng said there's braised pork knuckle tonight."

"I'll go, I'll go..."

The workers ate very happily, their bellies bulging.

They suddenly realized that Li Dahua truly deserved to be called the legitimate boss's wife, while Qin Xiaofen, though beautiful and eloquent, had brought no real benefits.

Li Dahua knew when to stop and didn't come back before dinner.

Hou Laizi and Pang Xiao went to Jiming Mountain before they even got off work.

The aroma of stewed meat wafted out from afar.

Hou Laizi, carrying a piece of juicy pork knuckle, reported to Chen Wenfeng about Li Dahua's return:

"Li Dahua seems to have changed quite a bit since she came back."

Hou Laizi swallowed the meat, skin and all, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, but he was too embarrassed to eat any more because everyone knew that he and Pang Xiao didn't have good food at the soy sauce factory, and they had already made sure they ate as much as they could.

"I reckon Li Dahua has finally seen the light at her parents' house. It seems Han Laosi is now completely isolated and abandoned by everyone."

Chen Wenfeng analyzed after hearing Hou Laizi's report.

The night at Jiming Mountain is peaceful.

The lights in the chicken coop were on.

After eating the braised pork knuckle, everyone fell into a good sleep.

Chen Wenfeng was in a room by himself. He opened a book and flipped through it casually.

This is a book left to him by his second uncle, Chen Shouren, and was sent to him by his second aunt, Jiang Chunying.

Tomorrow, Zheng Erli will come to discuss the feed mill.

Tomorrow, Lao Wang will come back to the soy sauce factory to find Qin Xiaofen.

Tomorrow should be a good day...
