Chapter 144: Chapter 146: Rule Yourself

Now, Tang Yuxin finally understands why people once said that Zhang Xiangcao was the village belle. She didn’t believe it back then. But when this woman blossomed into a woman of flesh and blood and gained a soul, the transformation in Zhang Xiangcao was earth-shattering.

She is really a beautiful woman, and she has a gentle temperament because of her worry-free life. However, the pain she suffered in the past makes her eyes seem kind, making people like her and not wanting to hurt her.

A woman’s appearance is indeed important.

So being beautiful indeed means having an advantage.

Tang Yuxin picked up her bowl. What they were eating at home was white rice, and all the vegetables were from their own garden. There were dishes like tomato and eggs, stir-fried peppers, stir-fried small greens, and a soup made with vegetables and tofu.

The food that Zhang Xiangcao prepared was delicious. Even though they were simple home-cooked meals, she poured her heart into each one. They didn’t lack money now, so there was always meat in every meal. Little wonder, even Sisi, the young girl, was gaining weight.

The Tang family’s life improved after Zhang Xiangcao married into the family. Every family member gained weight.

“Your father and I saved some for you, you eat first. We don’t want you to go hungry.”

Zhang Xiangcao touched Tang Yuxin’s head, pushed some food towards her, then served Sisi some in a small bowl. Sisi might have experienced hunger at a young age, so even now when they had better times, Sisi knew how hard it was to get food. She carefully spooned rice into her mouth, not wasting a single grain.

Sisi probably noticed her sister looking at her, she raised her face, grinned at Tang Yuxin. Sisi’s chubby little face looked like her mom’s – she’s going to be a beautiful girl when she grows up.

Tang Yuxin could not help but pinch Sisi’s small face. “Should we consider sending Sisi to the nursery?” She thought of the newly opened nursery in the village. Most children of her age were there. It’s ten dollars a month. They don’t expect her to learn much, but at least she would have some peers to play with.

Tang Yuxin felt, “Sisi should go. She has few playmates, always staying here, I’m worried that she might become introverted.”

“When your uncle comes back, I’ll discuss it with him.”

“Yes, I was on duty,” Tang Yuxin stowed her schoolbag. There was no homework to do in the evening. She finished all her homework in school. After all, as an adult, even after years of not holding a pen, she should be able to handle elementary school homework.

At night, she studied the medical books that Chen Zhong had given her. She had experience – after all, she had been a doctor for ten years. So coupling theory with practice, she understood the content easily.

After dinner.

Tang Yuxin was lying on her small bed, flipping through those ancient books. Thanks to Chen Zhong teaching her the Chen family’s annotations from childhood, or else she wouldn’t be able to read the twisted characters in these books.

Then, she opened her eyes, rubbed them, and looked at the electronic clock on the side.

It was already eleven o’clock, she had fallen asleep reading the books.

She put the book under her pillow, pulled the blanket over herself, and prepared to sleep. They didn’t have a computer, but they did have a TV. However, at night, there were no interesting programs. Most people went to bed early around nine-thirty due to lack of anything entertaining to do.

Such a lifestyle, coupled with a pollution-free environment, eating vegetables grown by themselves, drinking water from the well.

No wonder people from this generation often live long lives. It’s hard to say about the future though.

As she was sleepily napping, a noise echoed from outside.

She opened her eyes and sat up.

“What’s the matter?” She yawned, ready to snuggle back under the blanket and continue sleeping.

But unexpectedly, the crying voice of her uncle came in.

“Brother, look at Xiangcao, she was fine in the morning, how could she be in such pain now?”
