Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 675 Twists

Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, "No problem, I’ll also make sweet mahua for you all."

"Mom, I want to eat fried cakes," the little girl smacked her lips, speaking coyly.

"Sure, what filling do you want? Red bean paste? Or peanut and brown sugar?"

"Red bean paste."

"Alright, I’ll soak the red beans now, and you help me pick them."

Sister-in-law Liu was used to Jiang Xinyu spoiling the children like this. Fortunately, the three kids were good and hadn’t developed any bad habits from being spoiled.

After soaking the red beans, Sister-in-law Liu began making dough with white sugar. It was a big bowl full.

For the milky flavor, they just used milk powder and white sugar.

Since there was no pumpkin or sweet potato, Jiang Xinyu secretly steamed some yams and used them to make glutinous rice flour dough. This way, the fried cakes wouldn’t explode or leak filling and would always be soft and tender.

By noon, the family had a simple meal of sorghum porridge and salty boiled eggs, waiting to feast in the evening.

If it weren’t for bringing food to Lv Beiguang, Jiang Xinyu wouldn’t have gone through the trouble. The kids hadn’t had fried food in a long time.

After the nap, the three kids joined in twisting the dough for the mahua. Children always love this kind of work, and Feifei even made many animal-shaped ones.

The two boys, seeing what their sister made, stopped following their mom’s instructions. So the cover mat was filled with all kinds of oddly shaped items.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t mind but told them beforehand that they have to eat what they made themselves.

Only the milky-flavored mahua used leavened dough, so the ordinary sweet and salty mahua needed to be fried until crispy.

This work was uncomfortable; it was too hot by the frying pot.

Originally, Wei Kaiyun wanted to do it, but Li Yungui came looking for him, so Sister-in-law Liu had to do it alone.

They just finished frying by the time the work-off bell rang.

Just the regular crispy mahua filled six mats. These were all placed in the storage room. Once they cooled, they’d be crispy.

Jiang Xinyu prepared to take out some mahua for Wei Kaiyun to send to Li Yungui.

The rest was saved for Lv Beiguang, and she had to send some to Old Yang. The kids would also keep some. After dividing, not much was left.

The kang was too hot, so Wei Kaiyun took Jiang Xinyu to stay in the wing room; otherwise, they couldn’t even lie down.

"Today, Li Yungui came over to ask when you’re going to the hospital. He said the county leaders have agreed to my going to the city for approval, and I must visit the tractor factory."

"That’s also good. Being cooped up at home all the time is boring."

"How could it be boring? As long as you all are with me, I won’t feel bored."

"I’m just having a baby; if possible, I still want to go outside and see."

"Once I’m vindicated, I’ll take you out to see."

"Let’s forget it; if there’s nothing serious, it’s better not to go out. Too troublesome."

"This Li Yungui is indeed quite capable."

"He really is, but he’s also seen the money. This tractor was almost bought by the Jin Family Village; Li Yungui is very shrewd."

"With two tractors, the autumn harvest will be very fast too."

"Indeed, you haven’t been out. The wheat fields are already planted with cabbage."

"This way, everyone can have an income during winter."

At this time, Lv Beiguang was chatting with his two kids.

This time, the topic was still the two kids persuading Dad to find a partner.

"You two just focus on yourselves. I have no such idea; if someone suitable comes along later, I’ll consider it."

Lv Beiguang didn’t want the kids to worry about him, so he tried to brush it off.

Guodong and Jing Chu knew their dad was just making excuses, but they could only keep advising on this matter.

"Dad, you don’t have to come over anymore. You’ve seen us here; we are doing quite well."

"Hmm, my vacation time is also not convenient. In the future, it’ll depend on the opportunity.

Jing Chu, you’re a girl. Dad hopes you always listen to Aunt Jiang’s advice."

"I know, Dad. Don’t worry, I will definitely listen to Aunt Jiang."

"Alright, you two are obedient kids. But you’re young, and I’m afraid you might act impulsively."

Both promised their dad. Lv Beiguang knew they were fifteen years old now and had their own ideas. But as long as they’re willing to listen to the adults, there won’t be major problems.

"Dad, do you think we should go to the village where Aunt Jiang is?"

"Jing Chu, stay here and accompany your Sister Xiaoli. Since Uncle Yang thought it best to separate you two, there must be a reason.

Moreover, when farming is less busy, you can go and stay there for a few months."

"I was just worried you’d be worried, thinking you’d feel more at ease if I were by Aunt Jiang’s side."

"It’s the same. Your Uncle Yang is also trustworthy."

"I know, Uncle Yang is amazing."

"Jing Chu, Guodong, you’re both very lucky. You don’t know it, but back home, they are being forced to go to the countryside. Although it’s not far, the nature of it is the same.

This place is pretty good; although life is a bit tougher, there are not many truly troubling issues.

Now, families who have the means in our county town are all striving not to let their kids go down. But given the big environment, it’s also good to go out and adapt."

"Dad, has anyone returned?" Going to the countryside started a few years ago.

"Yes, a sister of a worker from the textile mill has come back. And she even took over her brother’s job.

Actually, I wanted to give my job to Jing Chu, but the pressure on us would be too great.

With you two kids, I’m just afraid one wouldn’t be at ease not being able to return." Lv Beiguang sighed.

"Dad, just let Jing Chu go back. I surely won’t mind," Guodong promised.

"Dad, let Brother go back instead. I’m fine here."

"Aunt Jiang advised me, saying there will surely be an opportunity to return, though it might take many years, but don’t be in a hurry. Even if you top off your work, it won’t be the same as mine. By then, the family’s income will reduce a lot.

When Jing Chu grows up and needs to find a husband, that’s when she should go back. Until then, let me earn more money during these few years."

"Dad, I’ll feel at ease if Jing Chu goes back too." His sister’s pretty face often attracted many young men whenever she worked. Guodong really had no solution; Uncle Wei said only Jing Chu could handle it, no one else.

Lv Beiguang also knew his daughter was good-looking, worrying about it too. Xinyu once said if Jing Chu returned, it might be even more dangerous. It’s safer here; here, there’s no one they can’t afford to offend. The family could still back her up. If it were really some big shot, they would have no way to deal with it back home.
