Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 981: Departure at

Feifei nodded with a smile. "Mom, I’ll take care of the two of them."

Jiang Xinyu tapped her younger son’s forehead, this little rascal.

Wei Kaiyun came in after finishing his meal; his daughter hadn’t eaten yet.

"Feifei, go eat. I’ll watch Shi Xian."

Perhaps because he had cried a bit earlier, Shi Xian didn’t cry hard after his sister left, though he was still reluctant for his dad to hold him.

The little morning incident had the whole family aware that there was a little tyrant in the house whose crying spree left worry in everyone’s hearts.

"Master Shang, how about we have our lesson indoors today? I feel Shi Xian is lonely."

"Sure, carry Shi Xian into our room after a while."

And so, Shang Zhenkun ended up with two young students he couldn’t shake off.

Shi Xian was quiet as he listened to Master Shang teaching, sitting obediently next to his sister, while Tingting sat quietly playing on the side.

Shi Xian, just like his brother and sister, also watched Master Shang as though he was seriously listening to the lesson.

The truck has been cleaned and is now being loaded with pesticides. It can’t be delayed any longer; North China has already begun thawing and spring planting will soon start.

Zhao Xiaoli, knowing her husband would be away for quite a while, felt a bit reluctant and didn’t attend the class today.

She was already over seven months pregnant, and Old Yang had initially not wanted her to go to class, worried she would be too strained.

"It’s okay. Once we get to the Capital, we’ll come right back. Don’t worry about me."

"Make sure you be careful on the way."

"It’s fine; we all know how to drive and will take turns." Not being able to watch his wife look so grieved, Old Yang went up the kang to hold her.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. Once you have the baby, I’ll take you wherever I go, and Xiao Jiang can take care of the child."

Zhao Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Old Yang. Such irresponsible words, but hearing them made her heart flutter.

"Is there anything you want? There’s a lot of supply on that side of the Capital."

Zhao Xiaoli shook her head. "I have food, clothes, and essentials, so I don’t need anything."

"Okay, I know. I’ll bring back some nice stuff for you, things I’ve saved up." Women love jewelry, and besides, Xiao Wei said Xiao Jiang likes it. Even though he hadn’t seen her wear any, there will always be a chance in the future.

She came out reluctantly and saw Feifei waiting for her.

"Uncle Yang, if Uncle Han prepared books for me, could you find a way to bring them back for me?"

"Rest assured, it won’t be a problem. I’ll definitely bring them back."

Little Wei and the other two had already planned to load the truck with pig iron upon their return; the city had given them clearance, and the road was safe.

Only then did Feifei relax. She smiled as she went off to study.

Chaoyang and the other two drove off. Chaoyang sat in the front, while Old Yang was in the back.

The home felt a bit empty with one person missing. The hardest hit was Zhao Xiaoli.

So, she didn’t attend class for a few days, lazily lying at home, until Feifei took notice and urged her to do some exercise in the morning. This improved her mood a lot.

A week passed like this, and Guodong figured his dad should be arriving soon, possibly getting off tomorrow.

"Aunt Jiang, tomorrow Xue and I are going to the city." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Alright, I’ll go too; the timing should be about right."

If Jiang Xinyu were going, Wei Kaiyun would naturally go with her, leaving Shang Zhenkun, Zhao Xiaoli, and a few children at home.

The children knew there wasn’t room in the car and didn’t think of wanting to go along.

"Xiao Li, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Zhao Xiaoli shook her head. "No, I’m scared; the road is too slippery. I’ll just stay home and watch the children."

That’s how it was decided; the school would have a day off tomorrow, allowing the children time to rest.

In the afternoon, Guodong went to visit Yungui’s house, telling them they’d be going to the city tomorrow.

Li Yungui knew Mr. Lv was coming to arrange a marriage for two of the children, so Qu Xiaoli now treated Guodong like a son-in-law, holding his hand to stay for dinner.

"Aunt, I’ll go back and let the family know."

"Brother Guodong, the four of us can go tell them." Red Army was quite satisfied with this brother-in-law.

So Guodong stayed in the main room helping the mother and daughter stoke the fire.

In the evening, Wei Kaiyun held his wife. "If Lv Beiguang doesn’t come tomorrow morning, we’ll come back, and go again the day after. The children aren’t used to being without you, and I’m sure it’ll be hard for them."

"Okay, why don’t we take Shi Xian with us? Tingting knows how to behave, and with Feifei and Sister Gedu around, she won’t cry."

"Take that little rascal? It’s too cold."

Jiang Xinyu fretted; it truly was very cold.

However, Shi Xian’s temper was still too immature; if she really didn’t return, this little one probably would cry for a long time.

Wei Kaiyun thought for a moment. "Alright, let’s take him. I’ll start the fire as soon as we get home; it won’t be cold for long."

"He’s really a handful; he’s more work than his brother and sister put together."

Despite her complaints, Jiang Xinyu indeed devoted the most to Shi Xian.

The next morning at breakfast, Jiang Xinyu mentioned the possibility to the older three. "If your Uncle Lv doesn’t come, we won’t be back today."

The older three were already sensible and didn’t mind, but Zhao Xiaoli felt a bit scared. Used to having so many people around, it was hard for her to adapt once three of the main figures left.

However, she also knew it wasn’t something she could comment on. Wasn’t it true that Master Shang was still at home?

Guodong hurriedly ate breakfast and then ran to pick up Li Xue.

"Aunt Jiang, look at my brother like that." Jing Chu said in disdain.

There really wasn’t any room left in the car, otherwise she’d have thought of tagging along too, eager to see Dad early.

But they really couldn’t fit; Dad would surely come back to see them, so she’d just wait at home.

Jiang Xinyu laughed at Jing Chu’s words; this was young love.

She actually longed for such pure love, so she glanced at Wei Kaiyun with a hint of grievance.

Wei Kaiyun sheepishly rubbed his nose. He knew what his wife was thinking, but he really couldn’t act that way; he was already nearing thirty by then and couldn’t engage in such immature actions anymore.

Jiang Xinyu also understood that Wei Kaiyun was a serious person who had experienced a lot; by that time, he was already successful and couldn’t act like Guodong.

Soon, the young couple came in.

"Sister Zhang, take care of Tingting."

"Yes, I know."

"Mom, don’t worry. I’m here. My sister is good, she won’t cry." Jiang Feifei reassured her mother.

Everything was packed; Wei Kaiyun loaded the car, Guodong sat in the front while the two women and children sat in the back.

Shi Xian was familiar with Li Xue, so he was willing to be in her arms.

"Teacher Jiang, Shi Xian is truly clever."
