Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

The next day, the Li Family Village drove all the village carts to deliver the public grain, just enough to load everything.

At the granary, they were already waiting, not because Li Yungui notified them, but since based on last year’s schedule, they figured the Li Family Village would be coming these days.

Li Yungui and Wu Tiancheng stood by, both smiling as they watched the wheat being weighed.

"Station Chief Wu, can we exchange wheat for soybeans? Our village’s soybeans are running low, and I don’t want to buy them from outside. Do we have any in the warehouse?"

"Yes, we still have a few tons. Old Li, how do you plan to exchange them?"

"Station Chief Wu, how about using the purchasing price of the granary as a basis?" This way, neither side suffers, and the demand for wheat far exceeds that for soybeans.

"Alright, Old Li, let me report it to the higher-ups, if it’s approved, I’ll let you know."

"Station Chief Wu, I’m really in a hurry. How about this, I’ll go buy some from a granary in another county first. Our soybean shortage is similar to corn. So will you inform me by then?"

"Sure, can you get everything you need?"

Li Yungui nodded, of course, that wouldn’t be a problem.

"Alright, wait a moment, I’ll make a call to the higher-ups. I guess the county granary also has plenty of soybeans."

"Thank you very much, Station Chief Wu. By then, I’ll come to the village to buy some bean oil."

This made Wu Tiancheng even happier, as the oil supply was indeed scarce. The Li Family Village also had an oil mill. Just for this, he’ll get it done, and with the abundant wheat collection, he also gains some credit.

Wei Kaiyun and Li Yunqiang were responsible for the numbers, completing the 40,000 jin of wheat in one morning. There was a discrepancy of 0.1 percent, which is 40 jin short, but this wasn’t considered short as they brought an extra bag to make up the difference.

This year’s grade was still rated as first-class, and they were given a voucher, waiting for Wu Tiancheng to sign, and then they could collect the money.

Wu Tiancheng had already communicated with the leadership of the county granary. Both sides agreed. This meant the Li Family Village could get 50,000 jin of soybeans, all guaranteed to be first-class. Li Yungui also needed corn, also promised to be first-class, though they were from the year before last instead of last year, which didn’t matter. Li Yungui was very pleased, on the condition that there would be no moldy ones.

Wu Tiancheng could guarantee that. It assured Li Yungui, allowing them to send their own people to load it.

Li Yungui thought although it would take manpower, it ensured peace of mind, so he agreed, planning to go the day after tomorrow.

By then, they would directly find a transport team and could bring it back in a day.

As for sorghum, there was still plenty. This solved many problems.

The granary staff understood too. The older stock was just sitting there, selling it to Li Yungui would gain goodwill without spoiling supplies.

The two went to collect the 4,400 yuan.

"We’re just the God of Wealth passing through, the day after tomorrow we still have to give it back, and it will take quite a bit from our own supply."

Wei Kaiyun just laughed, but with the two scarce grains secured, there was nothing more to worry about.

After returning home, Li Yungui informed Li Cunshan about today’s events.

"Well, that’s good news, but we have to keep a close watch, can’t have any moldy ones."

"The day after tomorrow we’ll take twenty people to the county."

"Alright, I’m really not at ease with it." Rearing pigs and chickens for so many years, he’d never seen such a situation before, growing fast, laying eggs frequently. He’d thought of many reasons, considering it should be related to the feed.

Xiao Jiang had repeatedly said that moldy feed must never be given to livestock. That’s why he was so cautious.

Early the next morning, over twenty people set out. Carting the way there, given the amount of people and needing to carry burlap bags.

It took the whole day, yet they still hadn’t finished loading, but a whole truckload was brought back by evening anyway.

For three consecutive days at the county granary, they altogether got two trucks of soybeans and two trucks of corn.

The over twenty people were quite exhausted, Tao Chunhe watching felt that with the leadership above through the Li Family Village, one could amass a lot of political achievements.

Li Yungui then went to the township grain station to get one more truck of each.

For the next few months, they wouldn’t need to worry, by then the village’s grain could connect.

Red Army also transported two trucks of fish bone powder from the seaside.

Upon returning, he took on the task of delivering eggs. Luckily he was a young fellow; otherwise, going to the county each day would’ve been no easy feat.

Seeing how tired everyone was, after some discussion, Li Yungui decided to continue slaughtering pigs to feed everyone, but this time they didn’t cook collectively, instead distributed the pork by headcount.

Actually, Li Cunshan was a bit reluctant, "Brother Cunshan, this money will eventually be shared among everyone, we have everything we need, why shortchange ourselves?"

Li Cunshan came around to the idea, hence selected the fattest pig to slaughter.

Dividing the meat, of course everyone was willing. Even though each person only got a few ounces, it was meat nonetheless, wasn’t it?

At Old Yang’s place, within a few days after dividing the meat, they held a full-month party for the child.

Also slaughtered a pig, twenty large roosters were killed.

Everyone was satisfied. They all praised Old Yang’s generosity.

Zhao Xiaoli also came out of her confinement, little Wenxuan was growing all chubby and fair. Very adorable, even looked better than his parents.

"Xinyu, if only this were a girl, she’d be so pretty."

"Er Bao, don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense, our Er Bao is just as good being a boy."

Zhao Xiaoli sheepishly smiled. She had forgotten again.

"Quickly nurse yourself back to health, if you want a daughter, have another one, don’t speak like that to our Er Bao."

"Hehe, I’ll be more careful next time." It was truly unintentional.

"Xinyu, Xinyu?"

"Sister Du, what is it?"

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the village head is giving birth, but didn’t catch the time to get to the hospital, it’s already underway."

"Sister-in-law told me she planned to go to the hospital. What happened?"

"Heard she accidentally twisted her back, but with Doctor Xie there, he’s even more skilled than hospital doctors."

"True, I’ll go check it out."

At Li Yungui’s home, the whole family, regardless of age, was in the courtyard.

After all, it’s Li Yungui’s eldest grandson.

"Xiao Jiang, you came?"

"Yes, why so sudden?"

"Just twisted while getting off the bed, Doctor Xie said it was time anyway."

"Sister-in-law don’t worry, both Sister Du and Xiaoli said Doctor Xie’s medical skills are excellent, don’t fret."

"How can I not worry? Xiao Jiang, have a seat."

Jiang Xinyu originally planned to leave, but was held back by Qu Xiaoli, so she stayed. After all, her family knew she was here.

Tao Chunhe watched Jiang Xinyu come in to offer comfort and thought she hadn’t changed a bit, still the same as two years ago when she first came here.

He used to think she had a good temperament, though not as pretty as Lv Jingchu, when together, Jiang Xinyu was still superior, and now she seemed much prettier?

Tao Chunhe thought to himself, how nice it would be if he could find such a wife!
