Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1242: Reunion

Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "It’s not too late to know now. Sister-in-law, be good to yourself."

Sun Yun’s eyes were moist. This was the first person in her life who told her to be kind to herself.

Xuemei sat on the side listening. Anyone with clear eyes could see that Yuanyuan disliked her, just like Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Tian was anxious to return. He wanted to persuade his two sons to go back.

So after sitting for a while, he stood up, "Yuanyuan, we’ll head back first."

Tan Shaoting came in, and Su Yuanyuan also got up, Qi Yan and Qi Hong and their family walked them out.

Xu Hongbing and Zhao Qingjie pushed the grains; they accepted the eggs and vegetables, but the grains were refused.

After sending the Zhao Family off, Yuanyuan smiled at Tan Shaoting, "Shall we plant some vegetables, like Chinese cabbage?"

Tan Shaoting laughed, "Sure, I’ll till the soil."

"I’ll do the planting."

The couple both smiled, and got to work.

Qi Wen and her five siblings were inside the house.

"I really can’t understand Dad and Mom’s kind of happiness."

"Actually, Dad probably doesn’t feel happy either; it should be Mom," said Qi Hong.

"Shall we go out and help?" asked Qi Wen.

Qi Yan shook his head, still thinking it’s better not to go.

The couple was working outside when Wei Guangxiang, who walked in, smiled.

Yuanyuan sighed inwardly, this was no longer the old, refined and elegant man.

Wei Guangxiang saw Yuanyuan looking at him with a smile, and he smiled too.

"Do you like this kind of life?"

Yuanyuan smiled and shook her head, "I can’t say I like it, it’s just that I haven’t done it for many years, experiencing it anew."

"How does it feel?"

"What kind of feeling could there be? The feeling of sweating and exhaustion, that’s definitely there. Come on, let’s go inside for a drink."

Wei Guangxiang looked at the simple environment, "Xiao Su, is this the life you want?"

Yuanyuan gave Wei Guangxiang a cup of tea, "No, I used to live this kind of life. It’s not something unacceptable for me.

The old saying goes, there’s no bliss that can’t be enjoyed, no hardship that can’t be endured.

I’m just revisiting my past life now."

"Xiao Su, you make me feel like you’re about to leave."

Yuanyuan laughed, Wei Guangxiang was still as perceptive.

"Your feeling is off. So, how do you feel after two years here?"

"I’ll be going back this year. Things are settled here." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yuanyuan still laughed, "Right. You’re not suited for this place."

Wei Guangxiang laughed, "Then where am I suited for?"

"I think you suit drinking tea and raising birds."

"Haha, that’s the life of older folks. I’ll spend the latter half of my life living like that."

Actually, Wei Guangxiang really didn’t have anything particular he liked.

He had already realized it. No longer bearing the guilt of sin he once felt.

This time going back to live a normal, ordinary life.

"How long will you be staying here?"

"Our family will leave here after the autumn harvest."

"Will you be working here?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes. Qi Yan and the others haven’t experienced this kind of life, let them try."

"Gosh, only a mother like you would want her children to suffer."

"This is a rare life experience." If we leave here, we won’t have the chance to see this kind of life afterwards.

Qi Hong mentioned before that over there they’re also growing Spiritual Medicine. But it’s different from pure labor here.

"Where are you going after the autumn harvest?"

"We’re going to visit Hongling, and also take a trip to Shushan."

"Seems like you’ve already planned everything."

"Yes, everything’s planned."

At this point, Qi Wen and the others came over with Qi Hao and Qi Xuan in their arms.

Wei Guangxiang looked at Qi Hao and Qi Xuan, remaining with only feelings of nostalgia.

He touched his pocket. He hadn’t brought anything.

He wanted to give a greeting gift to the children but had nothing. They had this meeting, but who knows when they might meet again.

The current Yuanyuan was no longer restrained; she was about to truly fly free, and he genuinely envied her.

Suddenly Wei Guangxiang felt like not going back to work either. Just like Yuanyuan and her family, he thought he might just wander around too. Ordinary life’s lack of appeal to him anymore.

Yuanyuan noticed Wei Guangxiang’s awkwardness.

"Xiao Su, how long will you stay at the Zeng Family?"

"Not sure, but not for too long."

"Won’t you be there for the New Year?"

"I might stay for the New Year. I want to live on the mountain for a while, I like the life at the Daoist Temple."

"Alright, I know. I’ll come back to find you."

Yuanyuan didn’t say anything.

Wei Guangxiang sat for a while, then also left. He needed to quickly arrange the work here. It could be harvested by the end of the month.

In the afternoon, when the sun was less intense, their family went out for a stroll.

The corn now was a bit old for boiling and eating, looking at the stretches of corn fields.

"Mom, did you use to do all this work?"

"Yes, just working on these, every day there’s endless work. But later on, we paid others to do it."

"Mom, isn’t this kind of life very simple and joyful?"

Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, it requires physical effort. But I feel it’s much easier than using the brain."

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were seeing such lush greenery up close for the first time, and were happy. Their hands always itching to reach for the leaves, but their two older brothers stopped them.

Their skin was too tender, worried they might get hurt.

Standing by the reservoir. "I once released many fish here, wonder how they are now."

After Yuanyuan finished speaking, her Divine Sense explored below. She really did find quite a few big fish.

"How about we eat boiled fish tonight?"

The three kids still remembered eating it when they were younger. After coming back, Mom had been busy all the time and really hadn’t made it.

"Sounds good Mom, I’ll handle the fish," Qi Wen said, already bringing up two fish.

Each fish weighing five to six pounds, really quite fatty.

"Mom, I’ll clean it up first."

"This reservoir used to be dug by us. Back then, everyone was scared by the drought, it was really dry."

"Was it quite tough to dig by hand?"

"Worked for several months. Back then, this was my land, now occupied by the reservoir."

Tan Shaoting also reminisced about those times. It was really exhausting, yet truly easy.

He thought if he had never left, their family staying home, what would it have been like?

Would he accompany his wife on trips every winter?

During those times, the wife was actually the happiest.

Because of his decision, their family spent over a decade living like that.

"Yuanyuan, what if we kept living here?"

"Then I would have found a way to leave, for the sake of the kids.

I understand your thoughts. Life, what is life? Going out to experience the world is essential.

Having such experiences is our wealth."
