Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 753 pulling bricks

Li Yungui knew Wei Kaiyun was right, and after some hesitation, he decided to find Li Yunqiang.

"Second brother, I think this can work out, nothing will be delayed."

"It all depends on the money."

"Xiao Wei must have a plan; he wouldn’t talk about something he’s not confident in. The budget must be something we can handle."

"Good, let’s have a meeting with everyone after work tonight."

The villagers were all aware of this matter, but they were still keeping it under wraps.

In the end, most agreed, and the decision was made.

The stones were transported here load by load, and the outside explanation was simply that they were for building a house, without mentioning anything else.

Li Yungui had a toothache these past few days; he truly was pained by the money, but he knew what was best.

Chaoyang and Xiang Dong went to sell all the watermelons from the village.

Li Yungui walked over to the vegetable field and felt somewhat comforted seeing the fresh cabbage and radishes. They were money too.

Red Army and Brother Hongling seized the opportunity to go home once, but no one was there; everyone had gone to work.

They left the vegetables prepared by their second aunt at home and hurriedly left, not realizing their mother was no longer in the home.

This batch of watermelons was the last; the supply and sales office took extra, so they had fewer to sell outside.

Li Yunqiang held the money in his hand, feeling relieved. He knew his second brother was worried about money matters; even though it wasn’t much, it was still income.

They were all meticulous people, so they didn’t eat out, and after selling the watermelons, they hurried home.

Everyone wore a genuine, satisfying smile.

Returning home, Li Yunqiang calculated the accounts and cheerfully went to find his second brother. This time he was bringing money, ready to settle the stone costs.

From afar, he saw his second brother chatting with someone.

"Yungui, looking at your village makes me envious."

"Things will get better for everyone in the future."

"We’re all hoping for it. Our village chief asked me to find you to help plant a hundred acres of wheat for us this year."

"We can’t confirm that yet; it’s first come, first served. I’ll try to arrange it."

"As long as we’re in line, I reckon you can harvest in the next couple of days."

"Yes, we’ll start the day after tomorrow, so we need all the stones delivered tomorrow."

"Alright, we’ll definitely get them delivered."

"I trust you."

Li Yunqiang calculated the stone expenses and spent the money as quickly as it came in, without even warming it with his hands.

Tomorrow, all the sorghum will be gathered, and the day after they’ll start picking corn.

Sorghum is already partially in storage; not much was planted this year, production is about the same as last year. The major yield focuses on corn.

As for sweet potatoes, they are the last task.

"Second brother, the peanuts can be pulled now. Why don’t we take advantage of the moist ground and pull them up first?"

"Tomorrow, all idlers will go and pull peanuts."

The morning meeting decided to pause the work at the foundation because nothing was more important than the autumn harvest.

Old Yang arrived at noon, "The blue bricks have been allocated, but you need to transport them yourselves."

"Not a problem with a tractor; how many do we have?"

"Thirty thousand bricks. If not enough, we can get an extra five thousand at most."

"That’s enough; we’ll go and fetch some today."

"Alright, let’s test it today. Tomorrow my men will be waiting at the brick factory." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Okay, I’ll go find Li Yungui now."

Chaoyang and Xiang Dong drove the tractor, following Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun’s car.

Arriving at the brick factory, Wei Kaiyun directly paid a thousand, and any remaining balance would be settled later.

This time, three or four people came along—the six of them spent an hour loading the truck.

After returning home, everyone gathered around, as blue bricks were incredibly rare. Seeing two whole carts full made everyone eager.

"Once I have money, I’ll build a house with blue bricks. Just the thought looks nice and feels comfortable."

"I want that too."

Everyone chatted enthusiastically and helped unload the truck. With so many people, the truck was emptied in twenty minutes.

"Master, let’s go again."

Chaoyang ran over to find Wei Kaiyun.

"Alright, just be careful."

Tomorrow they would begin pulling peanuts. Tonight, they would haul back another load—today equals ten thousand bricks, tomorrow morning another ten thousand, and in the afternoon they could start bringing peanuts to the wheat field.

Such planning avoided any delays.

The day after picking corn could also follow this schedule: in the morning, harvest; in the afternoon, collective transport. This way no time is wasted.

Everyone was full of energy, knowing the benefits of herbicides; eventually, they could earn wages like city workers.

This was the most appealing aspect; who wouldn’t want more money?

Moreover, this year everyone wasn’t as exhausted as in previous years. Their health was better, and they weren’t daunted by the autumn harvest.

When Chaoyang and others returned, there were still many helping to unload.

The two young men were quite worn out. They had arranged with the brick factory to start loading at five tomorrow and informed those coming to the village to arrive at the brick factory by five.

Tomorrow, those constructing houses would help load the truck; villagers wouldn’t be able to, as the official start of autumn tasks began.

Li Yungui had already arranged evening tasks, ensuring the fields were quickly cleared and wheat sowed as soon as possible. After all, they looked forward to earning money with the seeders and rototillers.

But before earning money, the village had to sow wheat first.

During the evening meeting, Li Yungui specifically emphasized that anyone caught stealing blue bricks would face x10 deduction in work points.

If anyone truly needed them, once the workshops were completed, leftovers could be sold.

This kept some restless individuals at bay since the blue bricks were limited.

After dinner at the Wei Family, "I’ll go to work tomorrow too," Jiang Xinyu said with a smile.

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "The two kids at home need care; I can’t bear it."

"Haha, but I’m also a farmer."

"Still no."

Sister-in-law Liu spoke, "I’ll go. Xiao Jiang just needs to cook."

"Alright, I’ll watch the children and cook at home."

Wei Kaiyun wanted to say more, but Jiang Xinyu stopped him.

The three kids and Monk Master were going to work in the fields too. Today, they joined in pulling peanuts. Though just picking up leftover peanut corners, they worked and participated in the harvest.

At night, Wei Kaiyun, satisfied, held Jiang Xinyu, "Wife, you really don’t need to do this."

"I just feel embarrassed. I feel like I’m becoming useless."

"The two kids at home can’t do without someone."

"Alright, I’ll cook at home. You shouldn’t overwork either." Caring for her man isn’t about striving just for work points; there’s no need to be too desperate.

"I know. I just pity you for working at home which isn’t easy either. Or maybe let Feifei stay home; I don’t want my daughter getting sunburned!"

"Forget it, let Feifei experience the harvest—they won’t be too tired, just helping gather corn stalks."
