Zhaodi nodded obediently, “I understand, Uncle. I won’t say a word.”
Dammit, why should all the good stuff fall into the hands of the first branch’s family!
*
Because they had Zhaodi with them, it was inconvenient for the family to do anything.
Jiang Changhai didn’t buy much; he just went straight to the state-run restaurant, where they had a frugal meal compared to their usual habit before heading home.
Although in the eyes of Jiang Changhai and his family it was ‘frugal’, to Zhaodi, it was quite a feast.
After eating her fill, she patted her belly and lamented that the first branch’s family lived too carefree a life.

Unlike their second branch, who worked so hard yet couldn’t even afford to eat meat.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt Heaven was blind—hardworking and honest people had nothing to eat, while the sly and lazy ones gorged themselves.
Back home, Su Wanyu couldn’t sleep from excitement, thinking about what Yu Cheng had mentioned.
She leaned over and whispered to Jiang Changhai, “Brother Hai, if you really can get into the transportation factory after the New Year, let’s not build a house in the village. Didn’t Yu Cheng say we could have our own quarters? We could make do living in your lodgings for now, and save up to buy a house in the town later. How does that sound?”
“Let me think about it,” said Jiang Changhai, and then he seriously pondered the idea.
These days, everyone wanted to be a city dweller, to eat rationed food and receive various vouchers every month.
Although Jiang Changhai didn’t have any vouchers, he had connections. Living in town would make everything much more convenient for them.
Su Wanyu pressed on, “Building a house in the village would also cost us a lot. If we buy one in the town, it will be convenient for Mianmian to go to school later on. She won’t need you to take her every day. She could go to school by herself.”
When Jiang Changhai became a worker in town, the duty of escorting Jiang Mianmian would fall on her.
She didn’t fancy getting up early every day to take Jiang Mianmian to school. Buying a house in the town would solve many issues at once.
But she didn’t say it out loud—father and daughter knew each other so well that they both knew she was looking for an easy way out.
Jiang Mianmian, too, was all for buying a house in town, as if she could see her future happy life waving at her.
Just like in her past life, living the life of a happy and wealthy idler was not far away!
Noticing the dangerous thoughts of its Host, the system immediately jumped out and reprimanded, “Host, it is not right to think this way! Everything your parents are doing now is for you to have a better education. If all you think about is living off others and eating without working, how can you live up to their expectations? Besides, the whole Stone Bridge Village now knows you are a Little Prodigy. If you don’t study well and become a failure, think about how disappointed your parents would be!”
Jiang Mianmian was confused by the scolding, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t study hard.”
She wasn’t as resistant to studying as she had been before and certainly intended to finish high school and then become a worker.
“Oh, sorry, my mistake,” the system promptly apologized, quite straightforwardly.
With hopes for the future, the family went to sleep with smiles on their faces, dreaming sweet dreams.
Zhaodi, on the other hand, lay awake on the kang, unable to sleep, thinking about how to get her father a job at the transport factory, too.
She wasn’t envious of the “iron rice bowl” or the modest salary of the factory like other rural people. After all, once the policy allowing private trade came into effect, selling breakfast with her family could bring in big money.
What she envied was the extra income from the transport factory, knowing that the factory’s trucks ran everywhere in the country.
