Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 956: Sewing Machine

After getting the receipt for the sewing machine and paying, nobody was there to assist, so they loaded it onto the tractor themselves. They secured it with a rope.

"Master, I’m heading off first."

"Alright, drive safely."

Chaoyang nodded and got in the vehicle, now just hoping to get home soon.

Wei Kaiyun drove to where Li Xue was supposed to get off, but two hours had already passed, and Li Xue hadn’t shown up yet. What’s going on?

Li Xue was currently at the hospital. Her sister-in-law, Zheng Lihong, was in labor.

When she got home, she found Lu Fengzhen home alone.

"Aunt Lu, has my sister-in-law started labor yet?"

"No, your sister-in-law hasn’t stayed long. She even went to work today. I’m just anxiously waiting.

Xue’er, how did you come back? There are no trains running yet, right?"

"No, Master Wei’s friend was going home, came to the train station today to see him off, and I got a ride back with them."

"Have a seat, I’ll cook some wontons for you. They’re already wrapped and ready to eat soon."

"Aunt Lu, no need to trouble yourself, I’m not hungry. These are pig trotters and peanuts my second uncle and aunt brought for my big sister-in-law. This is the meat we split among us; I brought it all back."

"Alright, I’ll get it sorted out. Why didn’t you all eat the meat?"

"My second uncle’s family has a lot of meat, and this is what we split, so they let me take it back."

"We have meat at home too. Last time your dad wanted to send some back with you, but since you were walking, he felt embarrassed to say anything."

"Aunt Lu, I can’t wait for my dad and brother and sister-in-law. I’ll be leaving soon. Please tell my dad not to worry about the three of us. We’re doing well."

"Sure, I’ll definitely tell him."

"Aunt Lu, I’m going upstairs to get my things."

Li Xue wanted to take her clothes and some of the clothes of Red Army and Hongling back, as she didn’t know when she’d return again.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, Aunt Lu, I can manage on my own. It’s just clothes."

After packing up, Li Xue thought it was best to wait for the car at the designated spot.

There was another knock on the door. Li Xue ran to open it.

"Xue’er, you’re back? Quickly, grab the things we prepared for the baby in our room and head to the hospital. I’ll go ahead."

After Hong Lin said that, she dashed off, and Li Xue ran back to the living room.

"Aunt Lu, do you know what my sister-in-law has prepared? My brother just got back and said she’s already at the hospital."

"I know, I know, it’s in their room."

Now, neither of them bothered with anything else. Lu Fengzhen went to change clothes, and Li Xue picked up the prepared bundles.

Lu Fengzhen also carried the bedding and diapers she prepared for the baby.

When they got to the hospital, they saw Hong Lin waiting outside.

"How long has she been in there?"

"Half an hour now."

Waiting was an ordeal for all three. Actually, Lu Fengzhen thought about notifying Li Yunqiao but decided against it. She’d better just wait quietly.

Li Xue checked the time. "Brother, Master Wei is already waiting for me. I’ll let him know to go ahead, and I’ll come back later."

"No need, you can leave. Aunt Lu is here."

"I should stay," Li Xue felt it wasn’t proper to leave when her nephew was about to be born.

She took the house keys and ran to find Wei Kaiyun.

From afar, she saw the car waiting. "Master Wei, sorry to trouble you, can you take our things home first? My sister-in-law is having a baby, and I’ll stay for a few days."

"Sure, hop in."

They loaded the car, and Wei Kaiyun drove Li Xue to the hospital before driving to the courtyard to find Li Yunqiao.

"Thanks to Xiao Wei." Li Yunqiao was genuinely grateful to Wei Kaiyun.

"No problem, I’m heading back. Chaoyang drove the tractor himself, and I’m a bit worried."

"Okay, let my second sister-in-law know, and ask her to find another nanny. My wife is also pregnant, and there’s no one to help at home."

"Congratulations, I’ll be sure to pass it on."

Li Yunqiao had an important meeting he couldn’t skip, which was unavoidable.

Wei Kaiyun caught up to Chaoyang only when he reached the township, following closely behind.

It was already 4 PM by the time they got to the village, the sky was getting dark.

Wei Kaiyun drove directly to Li Yungui’s home, unloading the three bundles Li Xue had prepared, as Qu Xiaoli was not home, so he informed Li Yungui.

"Village Chief Li, today your niece-in-law is having a baby, Li Xue stayed there, and Vice Mayor Li asked for help in finding another nanny since his wife is also pregnant."

Li Yungui nodded, thinking about how everything seemed to happen at once.

"Thanks to Xiao Wei."

Wei Kaiyun smiled and shook his head, "I’m heading home."

By this time, Chaoyang had already unloaded the sewing machine.

"Master, let’s keep these things at your place. I’ll have my mom come and get them. The money and bill were both taken care of by the master, so they’ll come later to pay."

"Alright, come over for dinner. Your mom’s not home."

Chaoyang nodded and went to return the tractor first.

"What made you think of buying a sewing machine?" Jiang Xinyu asked with a smile.

"I see you always doing needlework, wasting a lot of time. I’m afraid it might strain your eyes. The sewing machine is faster."

"My husband really cares for me."

Wei Kaiyun leaned close to Jiang Xinyu, "Moved by this?"

"Yes, women are easily moved by small things."

"I’ll make my wife even more touched in the future."

"By the way, Li Yungui came by today. Is the pesticide factory starting production tomorrow?"

"Yeah, just a small-scale production for now. Since the corn huskers are in high demand, we can only work in one workshop."

"You’re going to be busy again."

"Yes, but I can see you and the kids every day."

Li Yungui found his wife, "Xiao Wei came back."

"Really? I’d better have those people ready with money and tickets to go to Xiao Wei’s house to get the stuff."

"Hurry, I have something to tell you."

"What’s up?"

"I’ll tell you when you’re back," Li Yungui wasn’t sure how to tell his wife, embarrassed about how his elder brother was having a child at this age.

Qu Xiaoli gathered a group of women to go to the Wei Family. At this time, Chaoyang and Wei Kaiyun were having dinner, each with a bowl of braised meat and noodles that smelled delicious.

Qu Xiaoli realized that her son was back too, "Thanks, Teacher Jiang, I forgot that Chaoyang hadn’t eaten yet."

"No worries, one or two more for dinner doesn’t matter."

The other women who came in couldn’t help but feel envious. They were eating white noodles with meat and doughnuts. The food was exceptionally good.

Qu Xiaoli organized everyone to take their things and pay. Ten minutes later, they left because Jiang Xinyu went to feed the kids, and the women felt too embarrassed to chat idly with Wei Kaiyun.
