Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 955: Sending Them Off

Jiang Xinyu thought about the many children at home, so she prepared yuanxiao (sweet rice dumplings). Fry them at noon, and boil them at night.

The glutinous rice flour was something she secretly prepared, as the sticky sorghum flour was too coarse, and yuanxiao made from it wouldn’t taste good.

Big Biao and the others also came over for lunch today. Wei Kaiyun thought of it as a farewell meal for them.

Today, the seven of them didn’t work; they packed their luggage to make sure nothing was left behind. Actually, according to Han Xiangjun, they didn’t need to bring anything; once they arrived, they could start directly.

Everything must have been arranged at the Capital so that they could begin production immediately upon arrival.

Han Xiangjun knew that the profit from this venture wouldn’t be very high, but he was willing to do it mainly for fame and fortune.

Since they had such conditions, they shouldn’t give it up.

Jianbin knew his dad was leaving tomorrow, and he felt a little down.

"Son, why don’t you come back with me for a while? I’ll find someone to bring you back when you want to return."

Jianbin lowered his head. "Dad, I’m not going back. I know you will be very busy. I’m fine here. You don’t need to worry about me."

"Okay, I know. I’m really at ease with you here."

Han Xiangjun wasn’t just saying this. After living these past few weeks, he felt that his child was truly living happily here, much happier than when he was with him.

The roads were still covered with snow, so driving to the city was risky, but it was not realistic to avoid it either.

Even if they drove, the tractor also needed to go along since there were eleven people on this trip. Four from the village were going, plus Xiang Dong.

Li Xue and the Red Army discussed, and they thought if there was room, they would also like to go back for a visit.

The car could seat five people, and the remaining seven along with their luggage already filled up the truck bed.

"Xue’er, you won’t be able to go back this time. There’s just no room."

"I’m worried about my sister-in-law; she’s due to give birth any day now.

This year we didn’t go back, and I miss my dad," Li Xue said, feeling low.

"You three can squeeze in then; I’m just worried about your safety."

"Second Uncle, I’ll just inform the Red Army and Hongling, and go back by myself."

"Alright, take the meat you were allotted back with you. Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and there are still two pig’s trotters left for her at home; you take them back too."

"Second Uncle, I won’t take the meat, just the pig’s trotters will do."

"Take it back; you know there’s plenty of meat at home."

In the end, Han Xiangjun and Li Xue sat inside the car.

After all, it couldn’t work for a little girl to sit in the back of the tractor.

The snow on the roads was thick, but because there weren’t many people traveling, it wasn’t slippery. As long as they went slowly, it would be fine.

The journey took three hours to get to the city this time.

Li Xue got off at the nearest point to her home and arranged to meet there in two hours.

She carried the meat prepared by Qu Xiaoli, along with sweet potato chips and peanuts, back home.

Wei Kaiyun brought a list with him this time; it detailed the things needed by the villagers.

"Xiao Wei, once we reach the train station, you can leave. We’ll wait for the train ourselves."

"Alright, I’m at ease with you there."

"I’ll come over again during spring planting. I’ll just directly bring in-stock pesticides; that way, my people will all be settled."

"Okay, I’ll be waiting."

"Are you really content to stay crammed here?"

"What’s so bad about it?" Wei Kaiyun was thoroughly frightened. If he went back, he wouldn’t be able to live like this with his wife.

Now that he had three children, he absolutely didn’t want to go back to living separate from his wife and kids as before.

It’s better to be here; it’s the happiest time of my life so far.

"As long as you’re happy."

"Take care of things at home."

"I know. Don’t worry. I have many people inside; no one would dare touch our family."

"Be careful."

"I know. What else can I do? I’m not getting involved, not taking sides."

The snow in the city streets was cleared, so they were able to move much faster.

Chaoyang, driving the tractor behind, was so cold his hands nearly lost feeling.

After buying the things, I’m not coming out again. I’ll just study at home, endure the hardship.

At the train station, all twelve of them got off, each carrying their luggage. They, eleven people, followed Han Xiangjun.

"You can head back now."

Of course, Wei Kaiyun was confident in Han Xiangjun. This pursuit of fame and fortune, he would undoubtedly handle well.

"Master, are we going to the building or the co-op?"

"Park the tractor at the front door; let’s buy things together. There’s too much; each of us has to go to a separate place, otherwise, we’ll be late getting back."

Even Chaoyang couldn’t understand why Master never wanted to go out and only wanted to stay home, seemingly unwilling to be away from Teacher Jiang for even a minute.

They drove to the front door; Wei Kaiyun copied the list of items needed by everyone and handed it to Chaoyang. "You go to the supply co-op. I’ll go to the building."

Wei Kaiyun gave him fifty yuan and a bunch of coupons. "All of them were prepared by your Teacher Jiang. I don’t know what’s needed; just buy according to the list."

"Okay."

The two left on foot. Once Wei Kaiyun arrived at the building, he went up to the second floor to have a look, buying some stationery, books, three Xinhua dictionaries, and some comic books that the children didn’t have.

Clocks didn’t require coupons now, so Wei Kaiyun bought two to keep in the main room for checking the time, which was quite good. He bought two rolls of cloth as it was time to sew new clothes for the children.

Looking at a sewing machine, he rummaged through the tickets he had, which Old Yang had brought back, and unexpectedly found a coupon for a sewing machine.

He decided to buy one, to save his wife some time. He felt incredibly distressed watching her do needlework every day.

However, he didn’t buy it right away but planned to find a way to carry it. He intended to put it directly in the back of the tractor. He would come back with Chaoyang later.

On the first floor, he bought brown sugar, candles, toilet paper, needles, and threads for the sewing machine, and many buttons.

These were the necessary items, and actually, they could be purchased at the supply co-op. However, he also bought a few enamel basins since there were many people at home, and they all needed to use them.

In a rush, he put the items he bought in the car, went to the granary station, and got twenty pounds of soybean oil and a hundred pounds of rice. Fortunately, Wei Kaiyun knew the director here; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to buy even ten pounds of rice.

Carrying a hundred pounds of rice on his shoulder and a jug of oil in his hand, he finally went back.

When he reached the front door, he saw that Chaoyang had already arrived. "Did you get everything?"

"Yeah, just missing a hot water kettle."

"The building has it; drive the tractor with me over there. I want to buy a sewing machine."

"Okay, should we leave these on the vehicle?"

"Yes, leave them on the vehicle; there’s enough room for Li Xue to return alone."
