The Lucky Space Wife

Chapter 10: The Egg

Glucose carries a sweet taste, and it seemed that the unconscious Su Dahuā could taste it, as she cooperatively opened her mouth and swallowed a cup of tea completely clean. If it weren't for her entire body being devoid of strength, she might have even held the enamel cup and licked the sweet water inside clean. After Su Dahuā finished the water mixed with glucose, Li Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to drink water proved that the problem was not yet so serious as to be irretrievable. Sure enough, half an hour later, Su Dahuā opened her eyes. She first stared at Li Jinfeng in surprise for a long time, then she realized that there was a sweet taste of sugar in her mouth, and she sucked on her lips desperately. She almost swallowed all her saliva. Seeing this scene, Li Jinfeng suddenly felt a bit heartbroken. In this era, sugar was a scarce commodity; to purchase it, one needed money and sugar coupons, and even with coupons, it wasn't necessarily something one could buy. If it weren't for this, Li Aiju and Li Alan would not have killed the original owner, Li Jinfeng, over a piece of cowhide candy. Everyone's life was very hard, and everyone was striving to survive, Li Jinfeng was no exception. Looking at the person in front of her, Li Jinfeng felt compassion. 'Jinfeng girl, you... I... how did I end up here?' Su Dahuā spoke with difficulty when there was not a hint of sweetness in her mouth. 'You just fainted in the paddy field, and the production team brought you here to rest,' Li Jinfeng answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, Su Dahuā struggled to get up, 'No, I have to go to work, if I can't get the work points, everything is over.'

" However, after several attempts, she found herself devoid of strength, unable to work, or even to get up easily. 'Auntie, your health is important. Even if you go, you won't be able to work. It's better to recuperate and go to the fields tomorrow.' As she spoke, she asked again, 'Do you need some water?' Su Dahua shook her head helplessly, feeling somewhat desperate. The family's food had run out early on, and nowadays, they had meals inconsistently. The porridge they drank was so thin it could reflect one's face clearly. If she didn't work to earn work points, even when it came time to distribute grain, their family would receive little due to insufficient work points, and then the whole family would starve to death. 'No, I still have to go to the fields.'

"Even if I have to crawl, I must get there. Only in this way can I earn work points, and with one more work point, perhaps there will be one more mouthful of grain. Relying on this grain, maybe my family can live a few more days. What Su Dahua was thinking, Lin Jinfeng knew all too well. Seeing such a pitiable person, she couldn't help herself. Li Jinfeng made a motion of reaching into her pocket, but in fact, she took out a boiled egg from her space. These were the breakfasts Li Jinfeng had prepared. Her space could store many things, besides supermarket goods, sometimes for convenience, she would also stuff some items that facilitated her daily life into it. A boiled egg was one of them. 'Auntie, take this—' The small egg lay in the palm of Li Jinfeng's hand, still carrying some residual warmth. The moment she saw the egg, Su Dahua's eyes almost shone with a fierce light. Li Jinfeng knew that was the look of someone who was extremely hungry, seeing food. 'Jinfeng girl, this... this...' Su Dahua could no longer speak coherently, saliva kept dribbling out. She kept muttering with her lips, at this moment, her entire world consisted only of the egg in Li Jinfeng's hand."
