Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 878: Longing

"With Xiao Wei arranging things, we can rest assured. Teacher Jiang, can you drive me to the city tomorrow?"

"Sure, no problem."

"I’ll ask your sister-in-law to come over to help with the children tomorrow." Li Yungui felt quite embarrassed, but he was short on coal here, and wanted to talk to big brother too, as there are already a hundred corn shakers. Not sure how it will be arranged above.

"Haha, Village Chief Li, it’s okay, there’s Sister Du at home and Old Yang’s wife, along with my niece and nephews. Watching the children won’t be a problem, you don’t need to worry."

"Alright."

As they were about to leave, a family gave them five apples, and separately gave each of Li Xue’s three siblings one apple.

"These were brought back by Old Wei, these apples are quite big and look pretty delicious. Take them back for the children to taste."

The two didn’t refuse, thinking about how to repay the favor.

At night, each family member got a big apple, "Aunt Jiang, these apples are delicious."

"There’s no way to contact your Uncle Wei, even if there was, it wouldn’t work. It’s not the right season, next year we’ll order some and let them bring over a few apple trees. We should be able to plant them here."

"Then we can eat apples grown from our own trees."

"Yes, as long as you like eating them, I’ll find a way."

Guodong and Jing Chu know that Jiang Xinyu truly spoils them, just as long as they want to eat or want something, Aunt Jiang never says no.

Early the next morning, Li Yungui came over, this time he didn’t carry food, the three of them were at home, nearly never cooked, always ate at the cafeteria.

On the way, the two chatted. "Teacher Jiang, when do you think it’s best to deliver vegetables to the troops?"

"Around the twelfth lunar month, actually, I’m not sure."

"I’m thinking the twelfth lunar month too, we have lots of cabbage, we’ll deliver a tractor-load then."

"That should be fine. Just hope they accept it."

"I’ve thought about it, we can’t say it’s to repay them. Just say it’s the locals giving the children a feast."

Jiang Xinyu laughed, this reason is pretty good, "I think that’ll work."

About an hour and a half later, they arrived in the city. Jiang Xinyu parked her car at home, she didn’t intend to go with Li Yungui.

"Village Chief Li, I’ll go to the building and supply and marketing cooperative to wander around. Not sure when you’ll be back?"

"You go ahead, I don’t know the time either."

Jiang Xinyu went to the building and directly to the third floor. She liked the yarn Zhao Xiaoli bought for Old Yang last time, she can also knit sweaters, so she bought some yarn this time too.

Lastly, she bought one and a half pounds of red yarn for Jing Chu, two pounds of green yarn for Guodong, all the three children’s are new, no need to prepare them this year.

She doesn’t like wearing sweaters herself, so she didn’t buy any for herself, but bought two pounds of brown yarn for Du Fengying, this color looks fairer when worn.

The yarn alone cost over a hundred yuan. She also bought some bed sheets, even though there are quite a few quilts at home, it’s better to be prepared.

On the first floor, she bought some snacks, Guodong and Xiao Qiang tend to get hungry easily, so she prepared some snacks for them.

The rock sugar looked really good, but she only had five pounds of sugar tickets left, this is a loss.

"Comrade, I would like to buy some more rock sugar, but only have five pounds of sugar tickets, can I exchange other tickets?"

"Do you have national food tickets?"

"Yes, how much can be exchanged? How much can I get?"

"One kilo for one kilo, I’ll go gather it for you."

"Alright, don’t be afraid to take more, I can buy a hundred pounds."

"There’s not that much." The attendant was quite troubled, a friend wanted national food tickets, promised to exchange ten pounds for one yuan, if he really could exchange a hundred pounds, then it would be ten yuan. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In the end, exchanged sixty pounds, Jiang Xinyu directly bought sixty pounds of rock sugar, and five pounds of brown sugar.

With too many things in hand, she decided to go back. Every time she goes out shopping she ends up carrying too much.

Carrying the bag of rock sugar on her back and holding with the other hand a burlap sack containing the yarn, snacks also in this hand, from a distance, indeed it seemed quite difficult.

Only left the yarn, snacks, and five pounds of brown sugar, and took out another five pounds of rock sugar for outside.

Went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, the soy sauce at home was running low. So she took the opportunity to buy more seasonings, all in plastic buckets, bought by She Xiaoyun before, just buy more soy sauce this time.

Returning from the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yungui hadn’t returned yet. She went to the post office, decided to call friends.

Qian Jun was very surprised to receive Jiang Xinyu’s call.

"I thought you forgot about us."

"How could that be? Isn’t it hard to come to the city? How are things now?"

"Still the same, how about you?"

"I’m good too. Don’t worry about me."

"Xinyu, do you need anything? I can send it over to you."

"Hehe, no need, the supplies here are pretty similar to where we are."

"Let me find a way to get you some food tickets."

"No need, you live in the countryside and divide food, no need to worry about me."

"Ah! How can I not worry, when will you come back?"

"Not sure, I feel life is particularly relaxed and free here."

"Envious of you."

At this time, Fang Xiangxue’s voice calling for Qian Jun was heard.

"Alright, I’m relieved that you’re good, your sister is also quite well, don’t worry."

"Thanks."

"Let’s not be so formal, alright, I’ve got work now."

After Jiang Xinyu hung up, she called Xiao Yun.

"You little rascal, it takes two months to receive your letter. Why move so far away? When are you coming back?"

"Sister She, I won’t return for the next few years."

"Ah, you little rascal, your mind is made up. By the way, how are Shi Jing and Feifei?"

"They’re all doing great."

"I’ll send you some seafood then?"

"No need, the ones you sent with Lv Beiguang last time haven’t been finished. Besides, Sister She, there’s seafood here too, I’ll go take a look when I have the chance." The stocks in her space can last a long time. Just inconvenient to take out now.

"Alright, make sure not to let the two kids resentful."

"Vice Factory Director Yao’s wife gave birth to a son, Secretary Pan and Secretary Song also gave birth to daughters, heard the atmosphere isn’t very good."

Jiang Xinyu already knew of the two news.

Having a boy or girl isn’t something the wife can decide, but the two must have suffered from their mothers-in-law.

"Everyone else is doing fine, we haven’t been gathering much. Everyone just staying low."

"Haha, stay at home and accompany your brother-in-law and the children."

"Alright, Sister She, I’m hanging up, if you need anything, write me a letter."

Jiang Xinyu felt much lighter after hearing her friends’ voices. Paid and rushed home, still no Li Yungui, locked herself in, didn’t enter the house, went straight to the car, and had a serving of tomato and scrambled eggs rice.
