Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 925 Newlyweds

After the meal, Lu Tiezhu glanced at Du Fengying, indicating that she should pack their bags.

There wasn’t much to pack, just a few clothes and some daily necessities that were also needed here.

More people eat more, but it also means work gets done faster. "Sister Du, we don’t need you here, you can go pack your things."

Initially, Jiang Xinyu wanted to tease Du Fengying, but knowing she was sensitive and there were many people around, she just said a few words.

"Okay, I’ll go pack."

When they left, they only took the newly bought thermos and basin, along with old bedsheets.

After seeing them off, the family began to wash up.

Since there’s a holiday tomorrow, the children gathered in Shang Zhenkun’s room to listen to his stories.

Jing Chu and Feifei sat together, deeply engrossed, thinking Master Shang was really knowledgeable.

Jiang Xinyu and Wei Kaiyun sat on the kang watching over the two children.

"Wife, aren’t you going to the market tomorrow?"

"No, you all go. I’ll stay home with Feifei."

"How about I stay with Feifei at home?" It’s rare for his wife to have a chance to go out, always cooped up at home.

"No need, watching them at the market is even more tiring."

"It’s okay, there are plenty of people there."

Jiang Xinyu still shook her head. Feifei wanted her to stay, there must be something she wanted to discuss. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Finally, the little ones fell asleep. Wei Kaiyun hugged Jiang Xinyu tightly. Since she wasn’t going out tomorrow, no need for restraint.

Meanwhile, Lu Tiezhu and Du Fengying returned to the dorm. After Shuanzi and others called her aunt, they went back to their room.

The room was warm and cozy, the space small. The ground stove was still burning, with a kettle on top, and a bucket of water in the room.

The bedding on the kang was already warmed up. Looking at the new red and green quilts, Du Fengying felt truly married.

Lu Tiezhu had already drawn the curtains, eagerly asking, "Wife, is there anything else you need?"

"Could you step out for a bit?"

Lu Tiezhu didn’t understand, but looking at his wife by candlelight, he really didn’t want to leave.

"Hurry, once I’ve washed, you can come back in."

Seeing his wife’s insistence, Lu Tiezhu grabbed a handful of candies and went to the easternmost room. The young men lived in the two eastern rooms, with a space between theirs.

"Master Lu, why are you here?"

"I’m here to give you some wedding candies."

"Wedding candies, really?"

"You rascals, don’t think I’d forget you. But there’s not much, since there’s no wedding banquet, just some candies to bring good luck."

"Master Lu, you won’t be eating meals with us anymore, right?"

"I will, how can I always go to Xiao Wei’s house? There are already so many there."

"Master Lu, anything new in the city today?"

"Same old. Aren’t you all going home?"

They shook their heads. "We’ll return on the 29th and come back on the 5th."

Lu Tiezhu had been with them long enough to understand their family situations. They all came from large families where they were not valued.

If they stayed home long, they’d be candidates for rural work assignments.

"Take some money home to avoid grievances from your families."

The group agreed to take ten yuan each and two pounds of pastries, with no more plans. They had to save for their futures.

Lu Tiezhu saw they were well aware and didn’t say more.

It wasn’t easy for the kids here. When Xiao Wei returned, they’d certainly share the money. Although not little, it was earned through hard work.

"Tell your aunt tomorrow. Later on, when we go back, have her make us some pastries. We’ll pay, but we’re worried we won’t have food tickets to buy from the supply and marketing cooperative."

In reality, they had it tough. Their food tickets and various vouchers were entirely given to the family, yet they were still unvalued.

"Sure, your aunt might not know, but your sister-in-law can definitely do it."

Lu Tiezhu felt the time was right and left.

The door was pushed open at once. His wife was already in bed.

Smiling, he prepared water, washed his feet with his own wash basin, and climbed onto the kang.

Having been married, Lu Tiezhu was living the life he wanted.

Afterward, he contentedly held Du Fengying. "From now on, let’s live well together. I’ll make sure you have a good life."

"Okay, I trust you."

Their night had just begun. Du Fengying felt shy, as the courtyard was quite populated, leading her to hold back a bit.

Men have this common flaw; the more it is like this, the more interested they become.

His previous wife had been in poor health, never allowing him to fully enjoy. This time he truly experienced happiness.

Early the next morning, Du Fengying woke up at her usual time, though sore all over, having been used to sleeping alone for years. Being held like this felt unusual.

Yesterday, Xinyu told her not to head over in the morning, that there was no need to get up early, as it was a holiday.

So Du Fengying didn’t get up immediately. The stove had gone out. The room was cold, so she snuggled closer into Lu Tiezhu’s embrace.

In the morning, a man can hardly resist his wife’s embrace.

Just once though, before they both got up, for she could rest today, but Lu Tiezhu had to work.

Rising, Du Fengying headed to the kitchen. Checking the supplies, she decided to make pancakes and dough soup, something filling.

They were all young guys doing hard labor, so breakfast needed to be hearty for energy.

After washing up, Lu Tiezhu helped out in the kitchen.

When Shuanzi and the others woke up, they were greeted by the smell of breakfast, which made them very happy.

Shuanzi and Chengzi both entered the kitchen, since it was their turn to cook today.

"Auntie, it’s great having you here. We’re so lucky."

"Haha, it’s just that I’ve got time today. I’ll have to help your sister-in-law later, the kids are too young for her to handle alone."

"That’s already wonderful."

"Aunt, can you make pastries?" They felt bad troubling their sister-in-law, but having Aunt do it would be great.

"I can’t, but Xinyu taught me how to make bread."

"Aunt, on the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, can you make two pounds each for the eleven of us to take home?"

"Sure, but you’ll need sugar and eggs."

"We’ll buy eggs from the village. As for sugar, we’ll have to ask Brother Wei."

Everyone immensely enjoyed breakfast. Before they finished, twenty villagers arrived to work.

After sorting things out, Du Fengying headed to the Wei Family.

The family was currently having breakfast. "Sister Du, have you eaten?" Jiang Xinyu asked with a smile.

"I have. Is Shi Xian awake?"

"Awake, he’s full and playing on his own."
