Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

A month passed quickly. During this month, Shen Nan studied very hard and mastered all the snack making techniques he learned.

When it comes to snack making techniques, if you want to set up a stall, you also need to prepare the corresponding tools.

Many students don't know where to buy the right tools. For this reason, Sun Aimin specially ordered a batch of tools, such as a griddle for making multi-grain pancakes, an iron plate oven for making oven egg pancakes, and other matching small tools.

Students in need can order them directly at school. The prices are affordable and the quality is good, which provides great convenience for students.

After comprehensive comparison, Shen Nan wanted to set up a small stall and make oven-filled egg pancakes, so he ordered tools from the training school together with other classmates who graduated at the same time.

When it was time to go home, Sun Aimin found a car to take Shen Nan to the station, and put her luggage and tools in the trunk of the bus.

Shen Nan greeted Qian Jingui in advance and told him approximately what time they would arrive at the county station. Qian Jingui then drove a tractor and took his daughter to the county town to pick her up and take her home.

In the next few days, Shen Nan began to prepare for setting up a roadside stall. He first bought a tricycle and customized a suitable frame. After installing the stove, he practiced at home for two more days.

In the past two days, the family's meals have all been oven-baked egg-filled pancakes, and Qian Jingui and Qian Baoge are enjoying the food. This has also given Shen Nan greater confidence.

The first day of the stall was set on Saturday, and Qian Jingui and Qian Baoge also went with her to help her. When she became more skilled, Shen Nan could handle it all by herself.

This stall is the only one in their village, and many people come to buy a piece to try it for fun. The freshly baked pancakes are so crispy that they fall apart, and when they are spread with secret sauce and served with the customers' favorite side dishes, everyone praises them.

On the first day of setting up the stall, Shen Nan prepared sixty dough sheets, and they were all sold out in less than three hours.

The family of three happily drove home. When they got home, they took out the money in the coin box and counted it. They earned more than 90 yuan from selling cakes. After deducting the cost, they could make a net profit of about 40 yuan.

They didn't expect that they could make money by selling food on the roadside. This is much better than working in a factory or doing hard labor on a construction site.

In the days that followed, setting up a street stall became Shen Nan's daily routine. She was originally very skillful, and once she became proficient, she could handle a stall by herself.

During the day, the family left the matter to Qian Jingui, and Shen Nan was responsible for setting up the stall. He went out early and came back late, and the number of doughs he prepared also increased.

After closing her stall and returning home every day, she had the habit of keeping accounts to see how much money she had earned that day, and she also wrote down every expense she made.

After the first month's settlement, they found that they had a surplus of over a thousand yuan. For Shen Nan and his wife, this income was really a lot.

If the business can continue to be so good, they can save nearly 10,000 yuan a year after deducting daily expenses. Even for city dwellers, such an income is remarkable.

With this money, Qian Jingui can go out and inquire about the whereabouts of the child with peace of mind. Perhaps their son will be found soon.

----

Half a year later. Provincial capital.

Since the Qian family broke up with Qian Jinling, their living standards have been much worse than before.

Originally, Old Mrs. Qian thought that Qian Jinling was just throwing a tantrum. She had always been very filial and would definitely not ignore her parents.

Who would have thought that after Qian Jinling gave them one thousand yuan when they got divorced, they had never seen each other again.

At first, Qian Jinling's phone number was still reachable, but she refused to meet and kept silent about the money. Later, the phone number became an invalid number, and the Qian family realized that Qian Jinling was determined to cut off ties with them.

In order to keep Qian Jinling under control and continue to suck her blood, the Qian family went to the place where Qian Jinling's two daughters went to school, only to find out that Qian Jinling had transferred her children to another school and they were not attending that school after the winter vacation.

As for which school they transferred to, even if the people in the school knew, they would not tell them a single detail.

The Qian family could only return to their rental house in disappointment and make plans for their future life.

Over the years, Qian Jindou and Qian Jinling have been covering the family expenses. Although no one in the family can go out to earn money, Old Mrs. Qian has still saved tens of thousands of yuan.

However, after being used to a life of having no worries about food and clothing and not having to worry about money, now that she has no one to rely on, the family savings are dwindling every time she spends a penny. Old Mrs. Qian feels heartbroken every time she takes out money.

She went to the police station several times and asked the police to help contact Qian Jinling, but they didn't care about the matter at all.

In order to avoid being so poor that she had to sleep on the streets and go hungry in the future, she could only persuade her eldest son and grandson to go out and find jobs, and she was no longer as generous as before when spending money on them.

The father and son have never done any heavy work since they were young. If we ask them to make money now, can they endure the hardship?

The father and son did hang out outside for a few days, and every time they went out they would ask old lady Qian for some money before they were willing to go out. As a result, they didn't go out to look for jobs, but just hung out outside, eating and drinking, and soon spent all the money they had.

When they had no money, they would watch the people coming and going on the street, especially those beautifully dressed young women, which aroused the lust of these two men.

Rural women dress in a rustic way, and their skin becomes rough and dark due to years of hard work. If they hadn't come to the city, there would still be some young wives and widows in the village who could be favored by money and money.

After entering the city, he discovered the huge gap between rural women and urban women.

The women in the city were dressed neatly and fashionably, and one could almost smell an alluring fragrance from a distance, which made Qian Jincai start to have dirty thoughts.

In the countryside, he always dressed neatly. His tall figure and handsome looks were his pride. He used this to hook up with women from the surrounding villages.

Now that he has entered the city, his advantage is no longer worth mentioning. This caused Qian Jincai to feel a psychological gap and he became more concerned about his appearance.

Not only did he ask Old Lady Qian for money to buy him several fashionable outfits, he also went to the barber shop to get a new hairstyle, using hairspray to style his hair meticulously and straight.

In addition, he also deliberately imitated the words and deeds of city men, especially Xu Jinfeng, who was the same age as him. He thought of Xu Jinfeng's every move and gesture, and he didn't need to wear expensive clothes, and he could tell at a glance that he was a successful person.

Because Xu Jinfeng needs to socialize for business, he always likes to carry a leather handbag with tens of thousands of yuan in cash.

All of this made Qian Jincai envious and jealous. But now, he has nothing to do with Xu Jinfeng.

If he wanted to live a good life, he had to either find Qian Jinling and continue to force her to take out money to support the whole family, or package himself to attract the attention of some rich women and find a money bag for himself.

Qian Jincai didn't feel that his thoughts were shameful at all. He even felt that being able to marry a rich woman was something to be proud of.

Of course, he almost forgot that he was almost 50 years old. Those rich women were not stupid, who would be willing to spend a lot of money on a middle-aged man?
