Chapter 4: Contentment
Tatsuten 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's awake!"
A blonde girl on the edge of the bed ran out of the room shouting.
Oh! Come to think of it, I feel like I was beaten by a kid! Afterward...... Oh, my head hurts!
Chen Tian slowly recalled everything that had happened before.
After a while, the little girl led a middle-aged woman into the room.
"You're awake! We were really freaked out when Alice called us to see you! Such a young child was covered in wounds. It's okay, it's okay! Hungry, I'll bring you the food in a moment, you've been asleep for two days! ”
"Oh! I think I'm okay, no bother, I can come down! ”
Chentian got out of bed and walked a few steps, it seemed that he didn't have any serious injuries on his body, but his head still hurt a little. That kid has to slap his face if he doesn't hit something, it's really hateful!
Alice's kitchen is right next door.
Alice's house is actually a few very ordinary farmhouses, one for people, and one half for kitchen, half warehouse, very simple. In Chentian's opinion, it was even worse than their stable.
"I must thank Alice's family when I go back this time, and invite them to live in the castle, it's really bad. Or just give them a large sum of money and let them build a big house on their own. Chen Tian pondered.
"Come and eat, little one! You must be starving! Alice's mother brought a bowl of black bread, a little butter, a few tiny sausages, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
It smells so good!
Chen Tian picked up the black bread and took a bite of it......
"Wow! Why is it so hard? Wow! It's unpalatable! Chen Tian almost spit out the black bread that he had bitten into his mouth. But seeing the surprised eyes of Alice and her mother, she couldn't help but chew a few bites, closed her eyes and swallowed.
Well, this vegetable soup is not bad after all! The sausages should be okay too!
Chen Tian picked up a sausage and was putting it in his mouth, but he saw Alice's strange eyes, which stared directly at the sausage, and the mouth that was about to swallow the sausage.
"Uh...... Alice, what's wrong with you? ”
"Nothing, this sausage is delicious! Eat it! Alice laughed, then muttered:
"It's just that I rarely get to eat it!"
Sausages are rarely eaten?
Chen Tian felt very surprised, not to mention how luxurious his current aristocratic life was, even in the previous world, their family had fish and meat every day. He had the impression that only the poor in difficult times would not smell meat for months, but how could this still be the case in a country like Germany, which is considered rich in Europe?
"Alice, do you usually eat this black bread in your family? It's so hard! Chen Tian put down the sausage and chatted with the little girl, he was really curious about how the people in the countryside here lived.
"Well, that's what we usually eat! Can't you even eat brown bread? It's pathetic. By the way, what's your name? ”
"Oh! My name is Ji'an Luji, you can call me Jiji! What about your dad? ”
"My dad went to work and won't be back until the evening! Where do you live? ”
"Uh...... I live in Prince William's castle...... Nearby, far from here? ”
"Oh, poor boy, how did you come so far? It's a day's journey to Prince William's castle! It seems like it takes half a day to ride a horse! Alice's mother came over at this time, too. Why don't you eat it? There is nothing good to eat in a poor family like us, so let's just take it! ”
"Hehe, I have a small appetite! Give these sausages to Alice! ”
As he spoke, Chen Tian pushed the small plate of sausages in front of Alice, and the little girl was happily picking up one, but her mother slapped her hand, and then took the whole plate of sausages away, leaving the little girl alone with a pout.
"Alright, Alice, I'll leave the sausage to your father! He's been working all day, and he's going to eat more! Let's take Jiji back to his room to rest! ”
Maybe I'm really a teenager who doesn't know what it's like to be sad! Chen Tian was lying on the bed in a daze, whether in his previous life or in this life, he had hardly suffered since he was born, and everything at home had been prepared. In fact, some people have to bear the pressure of life since childhood, they are also working when others are working, others are happy after work, and they may have to work part-time to support their families. Heaven is sometimes so unfair, but each person's attitude towards life can indeed be determined by themselves. Chen Tian suddenly realized that he had always been happy, so every day should be cherished now. When he grows up, he must boost the economy of Germany and make the people here rich. It just so happened that he also studied economic management in college, so he could give full play to the advanced economic concepts that would be developed a hundred years later.
Alas! At this time, the Chinese people are stepping into the depths of misery. I really hope that I will have the ability to rescue the poor people under the decaying Qing Dynasty in the future. As soon as he thought of his motherland, Chentian's head began to hurt again.
"That kid, don't be touched by me again, you're so ruthless!"
Chen Tian touched his face, it still hurts, but thinking back on his performance that day, Chen Tian felt very surprised, he felt that what he needed most now was will power, the spirit of never admitting defeat, and the spirit of Germany. So he decided to go back and study in the military academy to hone his own will.
Soon there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the window, and then there was a lot of commotion with chickens and dogs. He walked to the window and saw that it was a small group of cavalrymen, holding a few portraits and asking around. He was familiar with the clothes of the cavalry, they were the guards of their family, and now they could go back to take a bath.
Tatsuten walked to the door of Alice's house, where Alice and her mother were also standing.
"How did you get out? You're still weak! It's okay, they said they came to Prince William. Alice said worriedly when she saw him come out.
"Oh! It's okay. Alice, thank you for taking care of you, I will repay you! Chentian walked past her and continued towards the cavalry.
"Guard, I'm here." He said calmly, not loudly, but Alice and her daughter were stunned.
