Chapter 4 Contentment
Chen Tian opened his eyes and looked at the gray ceiling above his head.
"Where is this? What happened?"
Chen Tian sat up, but found pain all over his body.
"Mom, he woke up!"
A blond girl shouted and ran out of the room.
Oh! I remembered it, I seemed to be beaten by a kid! Later... Oh, my head hurts so much!
Chen Tian slowly recalled everything that happened before.
After a while, the little girl led a middle-aged woman into the room.
"You woke up! We were really frightened when Alice asked us to see you! Such a young child was covered in wounds. It's fine, it's fine! You're hungry, I'll bring the meal over later. You've been sleeping for two days!"
"Oh! I think I'm fine, no need to bother, I can come down!"
Chen Tian got out of bed and walked a few steps. It seemed that he had not suffered any serious injuries on his body, but his head still hurt. It was so hateful that kid had to slap in the face if he was not good at hitting something.
Alice's kitchen is next door.
Alice's house is actually a few very ordinary farmhouses, one living in a house, one half of which is a kitchen and one half of which is a warehouse, which is very simple. In Chen Tian's opinion, it is even worse than their stables.
"When you go back this time, you must thank Alice's family for inviting them to live in the castle. It's so bad here. Or you can give them a lot of money and let them build a big house by themselves." Chen Tian calculated.
"Little guy, come and eat it! You must be hungry!" Alice's mother brought a basin of black bread, a little butter, a few very small sausages, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
It smells so good!
Chen Tian picked up the black bread and bit it on it...
"Wow! Why is it so hard? Wow! It's so unpalatable!" Chen Tian almost spit out the black bread that was biting into his mouth. But when he saw Alice and her mother's surprised eyes, he couldn't help chewing a few more mouthfuls and swallowed with his eyes closed.
Well, this vegetable soup is still pretty good! The sausage should be OK too!
Chen Tian picked up a sausage and was delivering it to his mouth, but he saw Alice's strange eyes, staring at the sausage with a straight look and the mouth that was about to swallow the sausage.
"Uh...Alice, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, this sausage is delicious! Eat it quickly!" Alice laughed, and then muttered again:
"It's just something I can rarely eat!"
Are sausages rarely eaten?
Chen Tian was very surprised. Don’t say how luxurious his noble life is now. Even in the previous world, their family had fish and meat every day. In his impression, it seemed that only poor people in difficult times would not smell meat for months. How could this happen in Germany, a country that is considered rich in Europe?
"Alice, do your family usually eat this dark bread? It's so hard!" Chen Tian put down the sausage and started chatting with the little girl. He was really curious about how people in the countryside live here.
"Well, we usually eat this! Can't you even eat black bread? It's so pitiful. By the way, what's your name?"
"Oh! My name is Ji'anluji, you call me Jiji! What about your father?"
"My dad has gone to work and will not be back in the evening! Where are you staying?"
"Uh...I live in Prince William's Castle...nearby, are you far from here?"
"Oh, poor child, why did you come so far? One day's journey to Prince William's castle! It seems that it will take half a day to ride a horse!" Alice's mother also came over at this time. "Why don't you eat anymore? We poor families like us don't have anything delicious, just let's just do it!"
"Haha, I have a very small appetite! Let's give Alice these sausages!"
As Chen Tian pushed the small plate of sausage in front of Alice, the little girl was happily picking up one, but her mother patted her hand, then took away the whole plate of sausage, leaving the little girl pouting alone.
"Okay, Alice, let's leave the sausage for your dad! He has been working all day and needs to eat more! Be good, take Jiji back to his room to rest!"
Maybe he is really a teenager who doesn’t know the taste of sorrow! Chen Tian was lying in bed in a daze. Whether in his past or present life, he had almost never suffered hardships since he was born, and everything at home was ready. In fact, some people have to bear the pressure of life since childhood. When others are at work, they are also working when they are at work, and when others are happy after work, they may also have to do part-time jobs to subsidize their family income. God is sometimes unfair, but everyone’s attitude towards life can be determined by themselves. Chen Tian suddenly realized that he has always been happy, so he should cherish every day now. When he grows up, he must improve the German economy and make the people here rich. It just so happens that he also studied economic management in college, and he can use the advanced economic concepts a hundred years later.
Alas! At this time, the Chinese people are moving step by step into dire straits! I really hope that I can save the poor people under the corrupt Qing Dynasty in the future. When I think of my motherland, Chen Tian’s head began to hurt again.
"That boy, don't be touched by me again. He is so cruel!"
Chen Tian touched his face, but it still hurt. However, when he recalled his performance that day, Chen Tian was surprised. He felt that what he needed most now was the power of will, the spirit of never giving up, and the spirit of German. So he decided to go back to study and hone his will.
Soon there was a sound of horse hooves outside the window, and then it was a mess. He walked to the window and saw that it was a small team of cavalrymen, holding a few portraits and asking around. He was very familiar with the cavalry's clothes, and it was their guard. Now, I can go back and take a shower.
Chentian walked to the door of Alice's house, and Alice and her mother were also standing there.
"Why are you out? You are still very weak! It's okay, they said they are coming to find Prince William." Alice said with some concern when she saw him coming out.
"Oh! It's okay. Alice, thank you for your care, I will repay you!" Chen Tian walked past her and continued to walk towards the cavalry.
