Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

"Village Chief Li, how do you raise these pigs? Why are they so clean?"

"Haha, there’s always someone cleaning the pigsty, so the pigs stay clean."

Li Yunqiang brought along several strong laborers as well.

The county wanted the slightly smaller one, which was three hundred twenty-three pounds, while the one from the city was a solid three hundred fifty pounds.

After loading them onto the wagon, both sides didn’t waste any time; the city directly paid two hundred forty-five, and the county gave two hundred twenty-six and a dime.

Li Yunqiang just recorded the numbers, and Li Yungui was carrying the money. Once it reached a thousand yuan, he’d save it.

But once Xiao Jiang got back, he wouldn’t deposit money anymore; it’s too conspicuous. This isn’t good, really, keeping wealth low-profile is the way to go.

The couple on the train kept sneezing.

"Someone must be missing us."

"Exactly, Li Yungui must be getting anxious."

"Only four days till we get off the train. How come returning seems so fast?"

"Eager to go home, my wife treats this place as home. But honestly, in your heart, only the house in the county feels like home?"

"Yeah, it’s there I feel at home."

"I told you back then to transfer there, but you didn’t want to."

Jiang Xinyu laughed; it was part of the reason, but mainly because she thought neither was stable. At least one should be steady, in case there’s another path.

"Now Shi Xian isn’t willing to come back." Better change the subject.

"It’s fine if he doesn’t come back, lets us relax a bit." Wei Kaiyun didn’t mind at all.

"What do you think about Yang Run Tai?"

"I don’t know, just doesn’t seem like a big kid to me. But not too out of line either, some families raise them like this from an early age."

"He appears harmless in front of the kids too much."

"Don’t worry, our daughter and son won’t fall for it. You see Yang Run Tai trying so hard with Shi Jing, still nothing?"

"Do you know why? It wasn’t like this before."

"Just because Yang Run Tai belittled the girl Yang Zhongyi liked, so Shi Jing got angry."

"Huh, now I get it."

"Do you think Chaoyang and Jing Chu can make it?" Jiang Xinyu was quite nosy.

Wei Kaiyun laughed, "Seems likely, Jing Chu is a little clueless about emotions, but now that she’s willing to be with Changyang, it’s close enough."

"Hmm, if Chaoyang pushes a bit, getting engaged, Jing Chu probably won’t change. Her mindset is pretty traditional."

"Haha, let’s just watch them grind slowly."

"Good things take time?"

"Yeah, that’s the idea."

"Wife, Old Han wants us to look into some tools for farmers. Shouldn’t be too complicated."

"He’s planning to change careers?"

Wei Kaiyun paused, then shook his head with a smile, "No, he just wants to build a reputation."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I was thinking about improving the oil press."

"It’s possible, but not quite enough for livelihoods really. If we invent something like a harvester or a combine harvester.

That would be too large. Let Han Xiangjun think about converting the corn sheller to electric or making it like the wheat thresher, so it’s more convenient."

Wei Kaiyun thought for a moment, "That works too, corn is still the main crop in the North."

The couple rambled on, the little girl woke up, "Dad, Mom."

"Tingting awake? Mom will take you to the restroom."

They were already used to life on the train, taking the kids down to run and jump at the stops.

The kids knew they’d be home in a few days, so they were kind of excited.

Today it was Feifei and Yang Run Tai playing chess, everyone else didn’t want to watch anymore. They could sit for ages; they’re not tired, but others are fed up, now they’re into idiom solitaire.

Anyway, Shang Zhenkun had lots of little games to keep them busy, never let them idle.

"Feifei, why are you so smart?" Yang Run Tai exclaimed, losing a piece this time.

"Brother Yang, actually you’re the real expert right?" In that world, she was at the top in chess skills. Now being pushed this far.

Yang Run Tai laughed, shaking his head, "How old are you? How old am I?"

"Feifei, do you want me to find you a mentor, you’d be a pity if you didn’t go into politics."

Jiang Feifei smiled, tidying the chessboard, "Brother Yang, I don’t have that ambition. When I grow up, I want to be free and do what I like."

Yang Run Tai just laughed, if someone else said this, he wouldn’t believe it. But hearing it from this little girl, he believed.

"What a shame. I thought I could assist a female leader one day?"

"Haha, sorry to disappoint."

"Feifei, I really know a very good teacher, but you don’t want to, don’t Shi Jing and Jianbin think?"

"Them? Brother Jianbin wants to be an excellent commander. My brother wants to be an architect. But I think he will change, I found him books on architecture, doesn’t like them at all."

"Haha, do you think Shi Jing will enter politics?"

"I don’t know, he probably isn’t that ambitious, right?

Anyway, it’s his decision, whatever he wants to do, my family won’t interfere."

"Haha, your parents are indeed very open-minded."

They’d gotten much closer through chess, truly a match of equals.

"Feifei, the station’s coming up, should we get off to play a bit?"

"Sure, I don’t think I can sleep well after we get home."

"Then lie in a cradle."

"Haha, me lying in a cradle at this age?"

"Why not?"

"That’s not my thing."

"Feifei, when you’re done, play less chess, it’s hard on the eyes."

Jiang Feifei nodded with a smile, got off the bunk, and stretched lazily.

Yang Run Tai looked at her like a lazy cat, really wanted to pet her.

Once at the station, everyone got off the train, Old Yang carrying Ah Bao and holding Zhao Xiaoli’s hand. Such a happy family scene, easily envy-inducing.

This time Jiang Xinyu also joined in, leaving Dong Hong behind. She could manage a few carriages on her own, no problem.

"Still feel grounded on solid earth."

Jiang Feifei held Jiang Tingting’s hand, walking slowly. Shi Xian was with Chaoyang and Jing Chu this time.

Jiang Xinyu did a few stretches, hearing her bones crackling.

Wei Kaiyun just stood by smiling, watching. His wife was already twenty-five years old. But she really hasn’t changed.

He couldn’t help but touch his own face, getting old.

"What’s wrong?"

"I just feel my wife is naturally beautiful, treated gently by time, with no trace left behind. Still looks young."
