Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 982: Visiting as a Guest

"It’s just a little cleverness." Jiang Xinyu was also helpless; this child probably knew they were going out, so he woke up early in the morning and didn’t fuss at all.

This cleverness was all reflected in this aspect. When Jiang Xinyu thought about the future, she realized she talked a lot of empty talk.

Wei Kaiyun wasn’t driving fast; his wife and child were in the car. Even if someone wanted him to go faster, he wouldn’t want to.

"Teacher Jiang, let’s go straight to my house; it’s warm there."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded. This works too; the two of them can stay at Vice Mayor Li’s place, and let Wei Kaiyun start a fire. If they can’t go back at night, they can stay at home.

"Alright, let your Master Wei go start a fire at home."

"No need for that; I have a room at my place; everyone can stay there."

Jiang Xinyu shook her head with a smile. "I’m not used to staying outside, it’s fine. Your Uncle Lv might even arrive today.

Old Wei, let’s go straight to the train station. Guodong, once you’re in the city, go to the station and ask about what time your dad’s train arrives."

Both nodded. They both hoped Lv Beiguang would come today.

After all, there were still a few kids at home, and leaving them really made them uneasy.

"Aunt Jiang, my dad must be bringing a lot of stuff, he went to the seaside."

"Haha, I already told them. We also have a sea nearby, it’s just that I’ve never had the time to go; we’ll go once the autumn harvest is over and take the whole family to see it.

Back then, Shi Jing, Feifei, and Master Shang went to the seaside."

This was something Wei Kaiyun couldn’t be a part of; back then, where did he have the time? Even meeting his wife and child was a luxury.

"I’ve never been to the seaside either," Guodong said longingly, since all his impressions of the sea came from books.

Li Xue nodded too. "Neither have I."

"Alright, in the summer, we’ll go out for a few days, let you see the sunrise over the sea and taste the seafood made by locals."

"There are too many of us in the family; we wouldn’t fit," Li Xue said with a bit of dejection.

Wei Kaiyun coughed lightly, "We could rent a truck then, and everyone can go."

"Uncle Wei, can we really rent a truck?"

"Yes, the village has many needs, we are always dealing with the transportation team; just let Village Chief Li apply."

Actually, hiring a vehicle would do, but Wei Kaiyun found it inconvenient. It was really necessary or they wouldn’t do it.

There were no trucks in the township now, so it was a pity they had to rely on the transportation team in the county.

But that’s something for them to worry about; Jiang Xinyu didn’t want to trouble herself with it.

"That’d be great, then Red Army can come too. Last time we read about the sunrise at sea in class, we even discussed when we could find the time to see it."

"Now there’s a chance."

Shi Xian lay asleep in Li Xue’s arms. Jiang Xinyu carefully took him; the little guy was quite heavy, it wouldn’t be good to let a young girl hold him.

"Teacher Jiang, Shi Xian must be twenty pounds now, right?"

"Yes, over twenty pounds, quite heavy."

Jiang Xinyu let him recline against her legs, so it wouldn’t be too tiring.

After they arrived in the city, Guodong ran to the train station to ask, and it took him half an hour before he came out.

"I asked a lot of people but no one knew; in the end, I bought a platform ticket and asked the dispatcher to find out my dad’s train arrives around 4 PM."

Wei Kaiyun knew they could return that night, though it was a bit late.

Might as well go and start a fire just in case they couldn’t leave later.

He drove them to Li Yunqiao’s house and drove himself back home.

Lu Fengzhen saw them arrive and knew Mr. Lv would be arriving today.

It was the first time Shi Xian changed his environment since becoming conscious, and he was delighted, eyes darting everywhere.

Lu Fengzhen adored the cute child immensely.

"Teacher Jiang, your child is really good-looking."

"Not bad, just too mischievous. I feared we couldn’t return and couldn’t leave him alone, so I brought him with us."

After sitting for a while, Shi Xian couldn’t stay still. Jiang Xinyu couldn’t help but let him steady himself against the sofa.

"Teacher Jiang, this child is really sturdy. How many months old is he?"

"Seven months; he’s at the mischievous age."

Shi Xian’s eyes rolled around, making people like him instantly.

Li Xue and Guodong went out to play, but also to inform Li Yunqiao to come back for lunch since both Wei Kaiyun and Jiang are here. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

There wasn’t much to do; the cinema was closed, and the park was too cold.

Li Yunqiao had no meetings today, and Secretary Wu told him his daughter was back, so he came down himself.

"What brings you two here?"

"Uncle Li, my dad should get off around 4 this afternoon. My Uncle Wei and Aunt Jiang are here."

"Good, where are your Uncle Wei and the others?"

"Dad, Aunt Jiang and Shi Xian are at our house; Uncle Wei went to their house to start a fire."

"Got it. I’ll come home at noon, so you two shouldn’t wander outside for too long and get back quickly."

To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to stay at home.

Having delivered the message, the two didn’t linger outside; they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy tofu, eggs, a set of pork offal, and sugar, seeds. Then they went home.

Li Yunqiao returned to his office, pondering that he should take a day off tomorrow. After all, his in-laws had come from so far away, and it wouldn’t be right not to take leave.

So he wrote a leave request and found a leader to approve it.

"How could you bear to take leave? Weren’t you waiting for your wife to give birth so you could be here?"

Li Yunqiao smiled, "My daughter’s future father-in-law has arrived. I must spend tomorrow with them, perhaps even later the day after too."

"Xue’er is getting married? To whom?"

"A countryside educated youth."

"Isn’t she too young?"

"They were in a group together, and she wanted it; I wouldn’t object."

"You, okay, if you can’t make it the day after tomorrow, so be it."

After Li Xue and Guodong got home, they handed the groceries to Wang Wugu. "Fifth Aunt, do you want Guodong and me to help clean the offal?"

"No need, I can do it myself. I’ll start cooking now. My cooking might be average, though; I’m not good at marinating offal."

"Aunt Jiang is great at cooking; I’ll ask her," Guodong said and was about to leave but was stopped by Li Xue.

"How can you ask that? Teacher Jiang is here as a guest, how can we ask her to cook?"

"Haha, Xue, don’t worry about it. Once you know Aunt Jiang better, you’ll see she really doesn’t mind such things. It’s okay."

Guodong still went out to find Jiang Xinyu, who was chatting with Lu Fengzhen.

"Aunt Jiang, we bought some pork offal but are worried it might not taste good."

"I’ll cook it. You watch over Shi Xian."
