Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 980 Preparations

The four of them got home when it was almost dark. Jiang Xinyu hadn’t come back yet, so Wei Kaiyun invited the two of them for dinner.

"Master, I won’t eat. I brought back a lot of things and need to deliver them."

Guodong and Li Xue seemed a little reluctant to part.

Seeing off his girlfriend, "Jing Chu, Dad is coming over the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" This was a surprise, as she had been missing her dad for a long time.

"Yes, Dad is coming to arrange my engagement."

"Brother, don’t forget about Dad and me once you have a wife."

"How could I? We’ll be a family of four from now on."

Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun went into the house, as they still had many things to discuss.

In the evening, Jiang Xinyu also learned that Lv Beiguang was coming over, and suddenly missed those friends very much. Meanwhile, Lv Beiguang and his group were riding bikes to the seaside.

This time She Xiaoyun didn’t go. She was pregnant again and could only give Lv Beiguang twenty yuan to help her buy some things for Xinyu.

"Lv Beiguang, you were the first among us to have a son and daughter-in-law."

"Yeah, I didn’t expect Guodong to find a wife on his own either."

The group headed out at night and would be back by tomorrow after making purchases, not too late.

When Chaoyang got home with a basket on his back, he handed it directly to his mom. He didn’t want to go to the educated youth spot and preferred letting his mom make a trip.

Xu Chunshan and his group had received what they wanted to buy, and they were very happy, paying money and tickets without hesitation. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Thank you, Auntie."

Qu Xiaoli shook her head with a smile, "It’s nothing, you guys tidy up, I must head back first."

A few girls each bought two pounds of snacks to keep around for when they had cravings.

"The village chief’s wife is quite enthusiastic."

"Yes, I didn’t expect she would agree to help and bring back everything we needed," Yan Shuping said with some emotion.

Actually, these were all sorts of odd things and quite a hassle to buy. But they didn’t lack a single item they wanted.

"Having coal again in a few days would be even better. We’re well prepared with the kettle, so we can make hot water at any time, and the aluminum pot is convenient for making porridge."

The six of them collectively bought a kettle, an aluminum pot, and a small double-handled frying pan.

This way, even without a big pot, they could make meals.

Thus, they spent all their subsidies, and from now on, they’d have to dip into their savings for purchases.

Still, they didn’t mind because they didn’t want to suffer, right?

At night, the four girls lay in bed, whispering about some gossip, which of course wasn’t village gossip, and they wouldn’t know even if they were asked to talk about it.

Yan Shuping was currently preoccupied with thoughts of Wei Kaiyun.

How could one not be enchanted by such a radiant and elegant man?

She didn’t know anyone in the village yet and had no opportunity to inquire about him. But there would be chances to meet him in the future.

That night, Wei Kaiyun held onto his wife, unwilling to let go.

"Enough. I’m tired."

"Wife, Guodong already has a wife. In another ten years, do you think Shi Jing will have a girl he likes?"

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes; this guy. Why was his way of thinking so peculiar?

"Wife, I don’t mind if Shi Jing wants to marry early, but not Feifei."

"Then you’ll have to support her your whole life."

"Absolutely. No one is good enough for my daughter."

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes again, deciding never to discuss this topic with him in the future.

With his way of thinking, she felt she couldn’t reason with him.

Three days later, two truckloads of coal arrived in the evening. A lot was unloaded at the pesticide factory, and the rest was taken by Chaoyang to the educated youth spot since it still needed to be weighed.

Actually, Li Yungui had already prepared a large scale for the village.

The father and son took the cart directly to the educated youth spot. They waited for a while before everyone got up.

Xu Chunshan felt a bit embarrassed, "Village Chief Li."

"Everyone out, the coal has arrived, quickly move it in. If it weren’t for the fact that you aren’t accustomed to this weather, we’d never give you coal. Lots of people in the village want it."

"Yes, thank you, Village Chief Li."

After another while, all the educated youth finally came out.

Li Yungui had prepared two large baskets, making it convenient. They were busy for an hour and a half before finally finishing the weighing, "Alright, it’s late, go rest. I’ll come back tomorrow."

The father and son loaded the large scale onto the cart and returned to the brigade office.

Xu Chunshan and his group were delighted. It was over two tons of coal. Although they lamented the cost, they were relieved not to fear freezing to death.

Yan Shuping was already crouching to start the stove. If they weren’t heating water, the stovetop was iron; the room would be warm, and if heating water, the steam would also warm the room.

By then, it was already past three in the morning, and the two male comrades had no desire to move anymore and went back to continue sleeping.

The four girls set the stove and boiled water.

"This coal is really good. We’ve never seen such quality coal back home."

"The village really has some capable folks to get such good coal."

Yan Shuping thought about how the village chief went to find that person, feeling warm inside. Not only was he handsome, but also capable.

If she really found such a man, it would be worthwhile. She decided to go again tomorrow to express her gratitude.

The next day, Jiang Xinyu still had to go to class, but today Shi Xian kept fussing, clutching his mother’s clothes and refusing to let go.

With no other options, Wei Kaiyun decided to forcefully pull him away, which was like stirring up a hornet’s nest. The loud, piercing cries were incredibly strong.

Feifei and the others were doing their morning exercises. She couldn’t stand it any longer and had to go indoors to have a look.

Upon seeing his sister, Shi Xian struggled even more in Wei Kaiyun’s arms, almost falling out, reaching out for Feifei.

The chubby Shi Xian was already over twenty pounds, and Feifei was only about forty pounds, so Wei Kaiyun worried his daughter might get tired.

"Feifei, climb onto the kang bed, and I’ll put him up there."

Jiang Feifei looked at her father, who was already a bit frazzled, and smiled before climbing onto the bed.

Once the little guy was on the bed, he quickly crawled towards Feifei, directly onto her, still sobbing with tears in his eyes, looking so pitifully wronged.

"Shi Xian, how could you cry like this? Come, let sister hold you, don’t cry, we won’t cry."

Feifei skillfully wiped his tears and gently patted his back.

Jiang Tingting saw her elder sister had come, so she crawled over too, sitting beside Jiang Feifei, while continuing to play with the toy in her hand.

Jiang Xinyu finished her meal and came in, seeing the eldest daughter surrounded by the two little ones on the kang. Helplessly, she smirked; Shi Xian was truly mischievous.

The little one saw his mom approach and turned his head away deliberately, refusing to look at her.

Feifei giggled, "Mom, Shi Xian really holds a grudge."

"Hmph, this little rascal, Feifei, Mom is going to class."
