Having tasted the flavor of the chips and learned that such a delicious snack was made from the lowly priced, abundantly produced potato, everyone was surprised and felt as if they had taken a huge reassurance pill. No longer did they take seriously the "hardships" Lu Aiguo talked about—the concern vanished for Xie Jiang, Lu Aijiao, Wu Tan, Lin Weisheng, and Zhang Ming.

With such a house before them, they couldn't help but be inspired. Enduring hardship was one thing, but who wouldn't dream of a comfortable life? Who wouldn't love the opportunity to make money and see a prosperous future? With hope in sight, how hard could any hardship really be?

Suddenly, everyone was filled with longing for the future, eager to roll up their sleeves and start working hard.
