Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

The next day, Yang Xiuqin pushed her cart to find Li Yungui.

"Village Chief Li, my food is running low, and my comrades told me I can buy food in the village."

"Alright, I’ll take you to find the Captain." Li Yungui wasn’t in charge of the granary, that was Li Cunshan’s responsibility.

After finding Li Cunshan, Li Yungui introduced them.

"Mr. Yang, what kind of food do you need?"

"Captain, can I buy wheat?"

"Sure. How much do you want?"

"Give me a hundred jin of wheat and a hundred jin of corn."

"Mr. Yang, we don’t sell corn in our village. You can buy sorghum instead."

Yang Xiuqin suddenly remembered that the Li Family Village has chicken farms and pig farms, all needing corn.

"Alright, then a hundred jin of each."

"The wheat is in the old warehouse, and the sorghum is last year’s stored grain. Don’t let it concern you, we keep our sorghum well, and everyone else is getting last year’s stored grain too."

Yang Xiuqin smiled and nodded, "Village Chief Li, Captain, I understand."

The two men helped Yang Xiuqin load the food onto her cart.

"Captain, I also want to buy some cabbage and radishes, I didn’t bring those with me."

"Just wait at the knowledge youth point, someone will find you. Our village’s vegetables are all distributed among individual households. The brigade doesn’t have any. I’ll find you a family to buy from."

"Thank you, Captain."

Once it was just Li Yungui and another talking about the new knowledge youth.

"Seems quite good."

"Yes, someone who understands, makes things less troublesome."

"Isn’t that just the way it is?"

Yang Xiuqin pushed two hundred jin of food to the knowledge youth point.

Shen Youjun and a few of the male comrades hurried over to help.

"Should the wheat be ground into white flour? I can push it to the town for milling in the afternoon, it tastes better that way and doesn’t waste it."

"Alright, the bran from the milled flour can even be exchanged with the brigade for food. You can also sell it to the brigade."

"Is there really such a good deal?"

"The chicken farms and pig farms all need it."

"Could we buy eggs?"

"Haha, not only can you buy eggs, but also big roosters. But if you want to buy more regularly, it might not be possible."

Yang Xiuqin laughed, what excellent conditions, "Buying pork should be possible in the future too, right?"

"I don’t know about that yet. I heard the piglets are already over a hundred jin, growing really fast.

Everyone says that when it’s time for spring planting, we will definitely apply to the Village Chief to slaughter pigs for meat.

But Yang, you are quite fortunate. In a few days, our village is going to slaughter pigs."

Yang Xiuqin smiled and nodded, "Is there any for sale?"

Several people shook their heads; they didn’t know either.

"Mr. Yang, you have a lot of food."

"I know. I was just happy to be able to buy wheat, so I bought more. It’s okay, more is better, I eat a lot."

With minor issues, Yang Xiuqin never quibbled, and she felt at ease. These people didn’t pretend to be ignorant.

"You don’t seem to eat a lot." No fool here, they understood it was generosity.

Just then, cries could be heard from outside.

Shen Youjun hurriedly went out to greet, "Auntie."

"Comrade Shen, the captain told me a new knowledge youth wants to buy vegetables. I came to ask."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiuqin came out with a cheerful smile.

"Auntie, I want to buy cabbage."

"Sure, young lady. How much do you need, and push your cart with me to my house."

"Auntie, my name is Yang Xiuqin. I want a hundred jin of cabbage. Also, some radishes and green onions."

This was the amount of vegetables Liu Family Village allocated to knowledge youths this year. Following this should be fine. Also, last night’s dinner was made with sauerkraut soup; she arrived late and had some of the group’s sauerkraut, so she won’t be stingy with other vegetables.

She’s not showing off wealth or putting on airs; it’s just the first impression matters, and if people think you’re stingy, that’s not right.

This time, Shen Youjun carried a basket with her because he heard Yang also wanted radishes and green onions.

Yang Xiuqin saw that the cabbage and radishes were exceptionally well-preserved, "Auntie, these radishes look as if they were just pulled from the ground."

"Every household has a cellar. In a while, we will go to the county and city to deliver vegetables again.

Yang, I haven’t charged you extra; this price is what we charged last year in the city."

"Thank you, Auntie, I can tell you’re a straightforward person."

"Haha, Young Yang is also a straightforward person."

Because they got along well, the woman even gifted Yang Xiuqin a large piece of ginger.

Pushing the carts, "Yang, you can, getting along with the villagers so quickly."

"Haha, that’s thanks to everyone’s kindness."

"You’re absolutely right. The villagers of Li Family Village are quite good. You probably heard about what happened with Yan Shuping this year. We were all afraid of being isolated and bullied, but we weren’t. Although some ignore us, there’s no malicious verbal abuse or attacks."

Yang Xiuqin nodded; she’d heard about it, and even more than they knew.

What Yan Shuping did was loathed by everyone, just like raising a wolf, not knowing when it might bite back.

So no village wanted her, but they couldn’t just leave her like that, so she was directly sent to the construction corps in the Northwest.

For a young woman with such a file, her life was virtually ruined.

"I consider myself lucky to have come here." Yang Xiuqin definitely wouldn’t say more; she’s no gossip, and certain words would never pass her lips.

"Mr. Yang, as for going to the town to mill flour, let me go. There’s nothing to do now; how could we let a young lady do laborious work?"

"Thank you, Shen. But I’ll go. I want to check out the rural supply and marketing cooperative. It’ll save me a trip outside later."

Yang Xiuqin was genuinely a bit embarrassed; she’d noticed all the knowledge youths here wore cloth cotton shoes. The snow was deep, it’s not just about going back and forth; even by the time they reached the town, their cotton shoes would be filled with snow. Her pair of cotton shoes were customized at a high cost. In winter, they’re comfortable and prevent her feet from freezing.

"Then I’ll go with you. We can take turns pushing the cart."

The two returned to the knowledge youth point, placing the cabbage and radishes directly inside the room.

Actually, Yang Xiuqin wanted to suggest that since they’re free, they could dig a cellar; but she couldn’t, who knows if others want to work when they’re free?

Moreover, nobody knows when they’d leave. This wasn’t a place for a long stay.

Shen Youjun sighed. If they had a cellar, they could have fresh vegetables then; he was truly tired of sauerkraut.

The sauerkraut jar was inside their living area; otherwise, it would freeze. But the smell was too awful.
