Yu Bai had a very long dream.

In the dream, memories of the past and the present flashed together and gave Yu Bai’s brain unbearable pain.

Yu Bai felt like he was dying.

Until he saw a text in the memory of his previous life.

“Yu Shuoxing finally ended up with the same ending as his father…” and so on.

Yu Shuoxing, isn’t this the name of my son Xing Xing? Why did Xing Xing’s name appear in the memory of my previous life?!

Enduring the pain in his brain, Yu Bai sorted out his past life memories.

Only then did he discover that his son Xing Xing, who just turned three years old, is the villain in the novel who commits all kinds of crimes and is full of scheming!

In the novel, Yu Shuoxing was born into a single-parent family. His father died in a car accident when he was three years old. Coincidentally, the director of a private orphanage took a fancy to Yu Shuoxing’s pretty face, so the orphanage he opened took Yu Shuoxing in.

In the orphanage, Yu Shuoxing was tortured horribly by the director and staff, and was bullied by other children at the same time, so he developed a selfish, irritable, and unscrupulous character.

After leaving the orphanage, Yu Shuoxing built his business empire with his super-high IQ and ability.

But in fact, his business empire and Yu Shuoxing himself are just stepping stones and contrasts for the protagonist. When the protagonist reached the pinnacle of his life step by step, Yu Shuoxing also changed from a business tycoon to a dog water^[1]”trash” or “rubbish” that everyone shouts and beats.

In the end, the penniless Yu Shuoxing was hit by a car on the street and died, with no one to collect his body.

Yu Bai, who has read the entire novel: …

Thinking that after he passed away, the cute and well-behaved Xing Xing who liked to be with him every day would be bullied by the perverted director of the private orphanage, Yu Bai felt that he could still save his son.

So, in the following week in the intensive care unit, the doctors and nurses were surprised to find——

A car accident patient whose physical condition deteriorated rapidly every day has shown signs of improvement!

This is nothing short of a medical miracle!

——After being transferred to the general ward, Yu Bai lived a sweet and painful life every day.

The sweet thing is that he has a smart, cute, well-behaved, and kind-hearted son, who comes to the hospital to accompany him every day.

When Xing Xing’s soft and tender face, as if it could pinch water, gently rubbed against his chest, Yu Bai felt that his heart was about to melt.

As long as Xing Xing is within his line of sight, the corners of Yu Bai’s lips will always rise.

What made Yu Bai miserable was that after the car accident, although the company gave him insurance money, the insurance money was nothing compared to the huge medical expenses to be paid.

When Yu Bai came out of the intensive care unit, he had already spent all his savings.

Car accident compensation, company subsidies, and medical reimbursement expenses are not enough.

Because of other miscellaneous expenses for him in the general ward, his son’s three meals a day, milk powder expenses, and the expenses of entrusting the elders and aunts of the neighborhood committee to take care of the child… Yu Bai is so poor that he is about to sell the house.

Misfortunes never come singly^[2]Bad luck would not come individually, it will always be accompanied by another bad luck .

When the company representative came to visit Yu Bai in the hospital, he also brought sad news.

During the month when Yu Bai stayed in the intensive care unit, his contract with the company had expired. Yu Bai didn’t negotiate with the company to renew the contract in advance, so, Yu Bai lost his job.

“Dad, you should behave. You can’t leave the hospital until all your body problems are cured!” The soft child, Xing Xing, stretched out his little hands with baby fat and touched Yu Bai’s legs very gently.

Yu Bai, who had been planning how to leave the hospital early all day, froze. He looked at Xing Xing’s bright, black grape-like, watery eyes.

Seeing that Yu Bai didn’t speak, Xing Xing’s tender face wrinkled into a little bun.

“Dad doesn’t want to recuperate obediently in the hospital? But, but… the uncle next door didn’t treat his illness, and his leg broke…” Usually, two or three patients live in the same ordinary room in the ward.

The uncle next door that Xing Xing mentioned was a middle-aged man who lived in the general ward with Yu Bai before.

The man had a leg disease and didn’t treat it properly, but he suffered from another leg disease and was hospitalized. The man just got out of the hospital yesterday.

Xing Xing leaned in front of Yu Bai, his round eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.

Yu Bai immediately tore up his plan, to be discharged from the hospital to shreds, in his heart.

Xing Xing said to let him recover well because Xing Xing loves him.

Having such a considerate son, who always thinks of him, is a blessing he has cultivated in two lifetimes!

Yu Bai stretched out his hands to pinch the child’s fleshy and warm cheeks.

Yu Bai smiled: “Dad will take good care of his body. I will leave the hospital after the illness is cured…”

As for the bank card that is about to become negative…

Yu Bai gritted his teeth.

At worst, after I got out of the hospital, I should be able to sell the house, and I could finally pay back the medical expenses!

At that time, I will be able to find a job again!

With such thoughts in mind, Yu Bai stayed in the hospital for another two or three weeks.

His healthy body allowed him to recover before he could sell the house.

However…

Although the house remained, the furniture in the house was almost sold out.

When Yu Bai took his son’s little hand and returned home happily – he experienced what it means to be “a family with only four walls”^[3]empty, all possessions gone .

Yu Bai, who was still carrying a monthly mortgage of 3,000 yuan, couldn’t help laughing.

He is so poor!!!

“Gululu”, Xingxing’s stomach gurgled, which was particularly obvious in the empty room.

“Xing Xing, are you hungry?”

During the days when he was in the hospital with Yu Bai, because Yu Bai was poor, Xing Xing hadn’t eaten any nutritious meals these days, and his little face had lost a lot of weight, looking very pitiful.

Xing Xing’s little hands pressed against his disobedient stomach through the clothes, and his white and tender cheeks flushed.

Xing Xing whispered: “Dad, I, I’m not hungry…”

“Gululu”.

Even though Xing Xing pressed his belly hard, his stomach still made a hungry sound.

Yu Bai smiled and rubbed Xing Xing’s soft little head: “It’s okay, Dad will go shopping for vegetables now, and cook you a good meal!”

He said a little shyly: “Dad, can I go together?”

He don’t know if it was his illusion, but Yu Bai found that after he woke up, Xing Xing became more attached to him.

In the hospital, Xing Xing was half a step away from Yu Bai almost all the time.

Maybe it was during the days when I was in a coma in the intensive care unit that Xing Xing, who couldn’t see me, missed me and want to stick with me.

Yu Bai smiled: “Of course, let’s go to the vegetable market together and buy delicious food!”

——The vegetable market is located near the community, the price is affordable, and the aunt who sells vegetables is also very enthusiastic.

However, no matter how affordable the price is, Yu Bai, who has almost empty pockets, can only look at it and drool.

Unfortunately, conditions do not allow it^[4]refers to his situation with the money .

If it was possible, Yu Bai would want to hold the rows of big raw vegetables and eat them directly.

Yu Bai abruptly moved his eyes away from the rows of big vegetables.

He walked around the vegetable market with Xing Xing in his arms, and finally, he carried one carrot, five eggs, a bag of green vegetables, two sausages, and green onions.

Xing Xing, who was huddled in Yu Bai’s arms, was silent at first. But when Yu Bai was buying carrots, the aunt who sold carrots teased Xing Xing and Xing Xing whispered “Hello, Auntie”.

The aunt who sold carrots was so excited that she immediately gave them a bunch of green onions.

Seems to have grasped the trick, whenever Yu Bai wandered around the vegetable stall, Xing Xing would timidly say hello with a small milky voice.

Along the way, the uncles and aunts in the vegetable market were overwhelmed by Xingxing. Yu Bai was not only given several handfuls of green onions one after another, but he was also given an extra egg when he bought eggs, and when he bought green vegetables, the uncle who sold green vegetables gave him a catty of vegetables and only need to pay for half a catty… and so on.

Yu Bai, who walked out of the vegetable market, gained a lot.

“Xing Xing, sit on the floor and play with building blocks obediently! Father is going to cook now. The kitchen is dangerous, so don’t go there!” 

Xing Xing nodded his head, “Okay!” 

Yu Bai grow up without a father or mother in this life, only his biological grandmother raised him.

It is said that the children of poor people are in charge of the house early. To share the pressure of housework for his grandmother, Yu Bai learned to cook, wash, and do other housework early.

But compared to Yu Bai’s previous life, Yu Bai is not satisfied with his current culinary skills.

Because in his previous life, Yu Bai was a top chef who was popular in the Chinese gourmet world and could make the most ordinary dishes the most delicious.

After the car accident, Yu Bai had the memories of two lifetimes. Knowing that he was a top chef in his previous life, he didn’t take this matter to heart^[5]refers to his current culinary skills .

Yu Bai thought that the most important function of his past life memory was to let him know in advance of his son’s painful and miserable life in the future so that he could make efforts to get his son out of such a life.

    Yu Bai knows the pain of having no father and no mother in his two lifetimes, so he wants to do his best so that the only child he has in his two lifetimes can grow up healthily and happily for the rest of his life.

    Until Yu Bai, who was preparing to make egg-fried rice in the kitchen, touched the kitchen knife.

    Yu Bai discovered that the memory of his previous life seemed to have more than one use.

    Perhaps influenced by decades of hard cooking in his previous life, when Yu Bai touched the handle of the knife with his fingertips, the muscle memory of cooking engraved in Yu Bai’s brain from his previous life immediately dominated his body.

    Uncontrollably, Yu Bai picked up the kitchen knife according to the way he remembered from his previous life, diced carrots, sliced ​​sausages, and stirred eggs… In the kitchen, Yu Bai seemed to be at his fingertips, cooking with a full sense of rhythm.

    “Wow–” The rice that was stirred with the spatula has been steamed in advance and cooled, and the grains are distinct.

    Immediately afterward, Yu Bai poured in the smooth and tender egg liquid and then put the stirred rice into the pot together.

    Stir-fry and shake the pan until every grain of rice is coated with a thin layer of golden egg liquid, then Yu Bai adds other fried ingredients. Season and serve.

    A pot full of steaming hot gold-coated fried rice exuding the aroma of eggs and fragrant rice is out of the pan.

    Yu Bai’s two lifetimes looked similar, but their physical fitness was not the same, and Yu Bai had just recovered from a serious illness.

    So when he was cooking, he wanted to perform stably according to the level of his previous life but it was quite laborious to make this egg-fried rice.

    But…

    In his previous life, he was a rare top chef. Now, as long as he can display one-fifth of his cooking skills in his previous life, many street food restaurants will be bankrupt in seconds!

    After Yu Bai finished cooking egg-fried rice, he didn’t have time to test the taste. He seized the time to stir-fry vegetables and brought each dish to the only tea table left in the living room.

    “Xing Xing, come and eat!”

    Xing Xing immediately ran to Yu Bai’s side with his short legs.

    He obediently sat on the small bench, waiting for Yu Bai to put the food in his exclusive small bowl.

    Thanks to Xing Xing’s high IQ, Xing Xing was able to eat independently when he was two years old, without getting food on his body!

    Yu Bai pulled almost all of the few sausages in the fried rice into Xing Xing’s small bowl.

    When Yu Bai still wanted to continue looking for sausages, Xing Xing saw his intention.

    Xing Xing’s little hands touched Yu Bai’s hand: “Dad, I’ve already had enough. Dad should eat the rest of the meat!”

    Yu Bai looked at Xing Xing.

    The round eyes of Xing Xing are bent into two small crescents.

    “Dad eat more meat so that the body will no longer get sick!”

    Xing Xing is still young and likes to repeat words when talking.

    But this word is soft and sweet, Yu Bai seems to have eaten a bunch of candied haws, where the soft hawthorn meat has been sweetened by the melted sugar.

    “Okay, okay, I’ll eat the rest!” Yu Bai said with a smile, “Xing Xing should also eat a lot”

    Xing Xing is still a child, so he has the common problem of children – he doesn’t like to eat vegetables.

    Seeing the green vegetables, Xing Xing’s crooked eyes immediately widened, and his shell-like white teeth bit his lips, tangled.

    “Dad, less, Xing Xing eat a little less…” Xing Xing anxiously grabbed Yu Bai’s sleeve, “Vegetables are bitter, like medicine, not tasty…” 

    “But although the medicine is bitter, it can cure the disease. The food is bitter but it is good for the body.” Yu Bai said, “If Xing Xing wants to grow taller, become stronger, and not get sick, then he has to eat a lot of vegetables!” Yu Bai immediately grasped Xing Xing’s weakness.

    To grow taller, become stronger, and not get sick is Xing Xing’s most urgent wish in the near future.

    If you say that you have to eat vegetables to make your wish come true…

    Xing Xing was a little reluctant but still helpless.

    He flattened his mouth: “Okay, okay…then Dad should give some vegetables to Xingxing!”

    After Yu Bai filled the bowl with food, he put the small bowl in front of Xingxing.

    Xing Xing picked up the small spoon. He avoided the vegetables first, scooped up a spoonful of rice, and put it in his mouth.

    “How is it? Is it delicious?”

    Yu Bai asked impatiently before he had time to eat.

    The moment the fried rice was put into the mouth, Xing Xing’s round eyes lit up like two lighted bulbs.

    “It’s delicious!”

    Next, Xing Xing didn’t say anything and continued scooping the rice from the small bowl into his mouth.

    Yu Bai hasn’t tasted the dishes made by himself in his previous life for a long time, and he can’t remember exactly what the fried rice he made in his previous life tasted like. Yu Bai burst out laughing. 

   “Is it so delicious?” Yu Bai asked, scooping up a spoonful of fried rice and putting it in his mouth.

    The freshly served fried rice is still hot and exudes a tempting aroma.

    The tip of Yu Bai’s tongue and the palate lightly sipped, each grain of rice evenly wrapped in eggs was not hard and had the miraculous taste of tender eggs.

    When Yu Bai chewed the rice grains, the aroma of the rice mixed with the aroma of the eggs slowly spread in his mouth, combined, and produced a different flavor.

    In the fried rice, the crispy carrots dispelled the little “oil” left in the egg-fried rice, and the meaty aroma of the sausage blended perfectly with the whole fried rice. The salty aroma stimulated Yu Bai’s stomach, sending out a signal for his hand to move.

    This fried rice is already very similar to his cooking skills in his previous life.

    Yu Bai picked up another chopstick of vegetables.

    This season is the best time to eat green vegetables.

    The green vegetables themselves have a hint of combined sweetness and saltiness. Yu Bai’s stir-fried vegetables were still fresh when cooked on the fire. Therefore, the green vegetables are chewy and crisp, without losing the tenderness of the leaves themselves.

    If the little vegetable soup on the bottom of the plate was poured on the white rice, the taste would be incredible!

    Xing Xing, who ate the green vegetables made by Yu Bai, also showed a surprised expression.

    God! It turns out that vegetables can also become so delicious!

    When Yu Bai gave Xing Xing some green vegetables again, Xing Xing didn’t resist anymore, but obediently ate all the green vegetables!

    After eating and drinking well, Yu Bai sent his resume to the recruitment website and fell asleep on the mattress-covered floor with Xing Xing in his arms.

    Tomorrow, I should be able to receive a response from the recruitment website, right?

    As a result…for two whole days, no response was received.

    ——It’s already the end of the year, and there are many fewer companies recruiting people. Coupled with the recent wave of layoffs^[6]temporary suspension or permanent termination of employment of an employee , Yu Bai couldn’t find a job at all.

 In the past, when Yu Bai still had savings, he will choose to wait. He will wait until the right time comes before looking for a job.

    But now, Yu Bai has just been discharged from the hospital, and all the money on his body is only 500 yuan. If he can’t find a job again, next month, he can only drink the Northwest Wind^[7]having nothing to eat because of poverty with Xing Xing!

Yu Bai, who couldn’t find a job, started browsing the Internet for shops recruiting “chefs”.

    It’s a pity that no matter what store or company, the requirements for recruiting chefs have work experience restrictions.

    Yu Bai, who worked as a chef for decades in his previous life: …

    There are only a few chef positions that have no work experience restrictions, only for apprentices.

    Although there is no work experience limit for apprentices, people with zero experience not only cannot make money as apprentices but sometimes even have to pay back the money.

    Yu Bai definitely couldn’t do it either.

    He couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

    Could it be…he had to drink the northwest wind with Xing Xing?!

    But, there is always a way out.

    Yu Bai, who was mourning at breakfast, received a piece of news from the same city.

    “With the surge in employment pressure, Huaxia has recently opened up mobile booth licenses to encourage people to change their employment status and choose flexible employment.

    As long as the documents are ready, you can go to the corresponding management bureau to apply for a mobile booth permit. The application can be completed within the same day at the earliest, and within five days at the earliest.

    After completing all the procedures, you can set up a stall at the stall location designated by the city administration!”

    Yu Bai: …

    It seems that he may have found a way to get himself out of the predicament in the shortest time —-setting up a food stall!

    Yu Bai went to the corresponding management bureau to apply for a mobile booth permit and spent two days getting all the documents required.

    So, until Yu Bai got the permit to set up a stall, he still wouldn’t have a job.

    Anyway, idle is idle.

    Yu Bai decided to pick a day to set up a stall and test the waters.

    But if he is going to open a food stall, what is he going to sell?

    Yu Bai opened the refrigerator.

    The refrigerator was empty, except for the two bags of green onions received when Xing Xing called out “Hello, Uncle” and “Hello, Auntie” in his small voice.

    Yu Bai took out these two bags of green onions from the refrigerator.

    Xing Xing’s limp body leaned against Yu Bai’s lap, and he tilted his head to look at the silent Yu Bai.

    “Father, why are you looking at the green onion? Is it because there are too few green onions? Next time, I will try harder to call my uncles and aunts! The uncles and aunts will then give us lots and lots of green onions!” Yu Bai still did not speak, he had already fallen into deep thought.

    Xingxing pouted: “Dad, why don’t you talk? Could it be that you only eat green onions tonight?”

    Eat onions, eat onions, eat…

    Yu Bai’s almond eyes, which are the same as Xingxing’s, light up.

    Yu Bai shouted: “I know what to do!”

    After Yu Bai finished speaking, he rubbed Xing Xing’s head vigorously, smiling from ear to ear.

    Yu Bai smiled and said, “Today we will have green onions!”

Author’s note:
