The candied fruit packet was kept on the side table, and only two pieces of it were missing.

Li Jin knew that it wasn’t because the boy didn’t like to eat those candies. But the teenager thought that those candies were expensive so he wasn’t willing to eat more.

After taking another look at the candies, Li Jin went to the kitchen to make dinner. 

He had decided to make a poached egg with corn soup for the youth. The corn soup would taste slightly sweet, so the teenager would like it.

As for his dinner, Li Jin decided to roast some potatoes and boil one egg. 

Li Jin directly placed the potatoes on the firewood to roast them and turned them over from time to time to avoid them from being charred.

He could eat potatoes as a staple food. 

Li Jin had planned to gain weight and make muscles. 

But, except for potatoes, there were only some eggs, pork belly and pig’s feet at home. He couldn’t eat it.

He had planned to stew the pig’s feet into soup, and to make braised pork for the teenager. 

For gaining muscles, with a regular exercise he needed to eat a lot of lean meat. 

He could only eat beef, mutton, fish and chicken. Fatty Meat like pork belly wasn’t something he should eat if he wanted to gain muscles and improve his stamina.

It was a pity that beef and mutton was costly to buy.

Right now, he didn’t have the money to buy rice noodles or even buy the milk for the child. From where would he get the money to buy beef and mutton.

For now, he could only supplement protein from boiled eggs and chicken.

After making the dinner, Li Jin brought the sweet poached egg soup for the teenager and rice paste for the child into the bedroom.

The child had a small appetite, and most of the rice paste was left for the youth to finish.

Li Jin went back to eat his roasted potatoes and a boiled egg in the kitchen.

At night, when Li Zhuzi drove back the ox-cart home, he learnt from his wife that today Li Jin had gone to cut the crop from the fields.

Without a second thought, Li Zhuzi went to find Li Jin.

He was convinced that Li Jin had become a changed person.

Li Zhuzi knocked several times on Li Jin’s door. It took a while for Li Jin to open the door.

Li Zhuzi also knew that Li Jin was the only one working at the home now, his husband was still resting after giving birth. So, it was obvious that it would take a while for Li Jin to open the door. 

He did come here without informing. So Li Zhuzi didn’t dislike Li Jin for the late response.

Li Zhuzi followed Li Jin to the kitchen. But, when he saw the half-eaten roasted potato he became stunned.

“Did you just eat this for dinner?”
