Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 665 kindness

The two heard the bell ringing, immediately locked the door, and carried their hoes to the field.

Although the villagers didn’t like them, the educated youths, there were no real villains among them. Hearing that the two got married, they smiled and congratulated them.

The two accepted their goodwill and thanked everyone.

Today, Zhao Xiaoli also brought Zhao Xiaoqiang along, with Old Yang following behind them.

He wasn’t there to work, but to accompany his wife.

The current tasks are weeding done by the young, and thinning of seedlings by the experienced middle-aged.

Zhao Xiaoli greeted everyone with a smile and introduced her younger brother to everyone.

Zhao Xiaoqiang was very well-behaved; however his sister addressed others, he would follow suit.

Because Zhao Xiaoqiang is still young, he earns just five centimeters credit a day; this is how work points are calculated for children his age in the village.

Zhao Xiaoli also introduced the educated youths to her brother and even Huang Ying smiled unnaturally and greeted.

Zhao Xiaoli was assigned the task of weeding, and Zhao Xiaoqiang followed by her side, with the village head’s wife on the other side.

"Xiao Li, have you planted vegetables in your yard yet?"

"Sister-in-law, planted already. I’ve grown cabbage, but I have to wait a few more days to plant radishes, right?"

"Yes, you should plant more radishes. I have some squash seedlings at my place; you can plant two, and they’ll add variety in winter."

"That sounds wonderful, thank you, sister-in-law! I brought some bean seeds from a friend. Would you like some? I hear it’s a special type of meat beans."

"That’s great, give me some."

"Alright, I’ll bring them over at noon. There’s also a new variety of chive seeds. And, sister-in-law, I need your help with something — I don’t know how to plant chives and scallions; you’ll have to teach me."

"No problem, after work today I’ll go and plant them for you, and you’ll see how easy it is."

"Thanks, sister-in-law, much appreciated."

"What’s so tiring about it? It’s hardly work at all.

By the way, I have broad beans at home. Though they have a strong flavor, you can put them in the pickle jar. When you’ve had enough of radish and mustard greens, some pickled broad beans in winter are quite delightful — just plant them by the wall base."

"Great, what other fresh vegetables do you have?" Zhao Xiaoli asked with a smile.

"That’s all, really. That’s just how it is around here."

While working, the two laughed and talked, and the women working nearby occasionally chimed in.

Ding Xiaojuan also found it to be this way. Three aunts already mentioned bringing her cabbage seeds this afternoon, as well as radish and mustard seeds.

Ding Xiaojuan expressed her gratitude and noticed that the villagers were genuinely simple-hearted. Perhaps they had been too proud before, looking down on others, so naturally, people didn’t approach them. But ever since they bought a house in the village, everyone became much more welcoming.

During the break at noon, Zhao Xiaoli caught up with Ding Xiaojuan.

"Educated youth Ding, I have a few hundred blocks of earth bricks at home. If you can use them, take them back; I’m worried they’ll get ruined in the rain left at home."

Ding Xiaojuan looked at Zhao Xiaoli with surprise and joy. "Thank you, thank you so much. I was just thinking about building a fence around the yard, wondering when we’d finish working and start making earth bricks. With these few hundred bricks, it’ll save us a lot of work."

"No need to be polite. If you lack anything or need anything, just come to my house and find me."

"Thank you, thank you very much." This was truly an unexpected gain, and what Ding Xiaojuan said was genuine; Chen Hui and she would save a lot of effort.

"You should get them quickly, it might rain anytime. Although they are covered with plastic sheets, it’s not entirely safe."

"Yes, the two of us will go tonight."

After playing with the idea, Zhao Xiaoli laughed and left. She still needed to go back and cook.

Upon returning home, she saw that Old Yang had already made the meal, just waiting for her to stir-fry the ingredients, which he had already cut.

"You don’t need to do this kind of work."

"Hehe, it’s alright. I have nothing to do at home. Maybe I should also go to work tomorrow; it doesn’t feel meaningful to just be idle like this."

Zhao Xiaoli nodded, "You can decide for yourself, but you’re not from the village; you won’t earn work points even if you do. I doubt everyone would be keen on you joining the work?"

"I suppose it shouldn’t be a problem. But you’re right, the concern is everyone might not want it. Besides, I’m not always this idle. How about you stay at home, and I work in your place?"

"No need, I’m not occupied either, and the work isn’t tiring now."

After lunch, Zhao Xiaoli declined Old Yang’s offer to clean up. She briskly finished tidying up and lay down to rest.

"I told Ding Xiaojuan they’d come to push the earth bricks at night.

Also, the village head’s wife will come in the afternoon to plant the chives and scallions for us. Can you turn over the garden beds in the afternoon?"

"Sure, it’s just the remaining piece of land, right?"

"Yes, but not all of it. Radishes still have a few days to wait. Just flip two beds. One for chives, one for scallions." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Alright, I got it. You better get some rest."

Ding Xiaojuan returned, smiling brightly.

"What’s made you so happy?" Chen Hui noticed his wife’s joyful demeanor and casually asked.

"Just after finishing the morning work, Zhao Xiaoli found me and told me she had a few hundred earth bricks at her house. She asked if I’d like them?"

"That’s indeed great news!"

"It is! I told her the two of us would go and push them back tonight. She mentioned they were covered with plastic in the yard. I was thinking once we bring them back, we should store them in the west room?"

"Sure, after lunch, I’ll go flip the beds. Captain gave me some cabbage seeds this afternoon; I’ll plant them now before frost sets in, or else the cabbages won’t firm up."

"Yes, I also got cabbage and radish seeds."

"Xiaojuan, our days will only get better and better," Chen Hui said confidently.

"Yes, I know they will."

At noon, a special effort was made to prepare the evening meal. While Ding Xiaojuan was cooking, Chen Hui went to the yard to flip the beds; it wouldn’t lose much moisture in half a day, so planting cabbage would be just right.

After the meal, Ding Xiaojuan insisted Chen Hui rest for a while. "Don’t overwork yourself. Take it easy; your health remains our priority."

In the evening, after finishing work, the two planted vegetables, then watered them, had their meal. After resting for a bit, they went to borrow a cart from the educated youth center.

Fu Xiaoping asked, "Chen Hui, why are you borrowing a cart now?"

"Zhao Xiaoli has a few hundred earth bricks for us, we’re going to push them back."

"I’ll go with you, let’s borrow another cart."

"Thank you so much."

"Don’t be so polite. You borrow the other cart; I’ll push this one over." The other three also decided to join them.

Actually, Fu Xiaoping was hoping for a chance to bump into Jing Chu.

They borrowed two carts from Captain’s house, and six of them headed over to Zhao Xiaoli’s place.

Their family had just finished eating. Upon hearing the knock, Xiao Qiang opened the door.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhao Xiaoli saw the cart and realized that one cart could only carry thirty blocks at most, so they definitely wouldn’t push all of them tonight.
