Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 762 learned

Even for city folks, eating meat or eggs is not a frequent affair.

"Village Chief Li, this meat is really delicious, doesn’t taste like ordinary meat."

"This is cured meat. We don’t have meat coupons here, so it’s hard to get meat. We use salt to cure it and fruitwood to smoke it, allowing it to be preserved for a long time. When guests come, we can still serve something.

This meat is borrowed; we need to serve Mr. Liu properly."

"Village Chief Li, you’re too kind. This meat is really tasty."

When the guests are satisfied, it means the preparations were good. At night, the Red Army and the Hongling brothers went to sleep in the Chaoyang room, leaving the room for Liu Zhibin to rest.

Li Yunqiang and his wife lay on the kang. "Xiao Li, my elder brother has divorced."

"What? Divorced?"

"Yes, he told me today.

He’s coming back on Sunday, and the three kids have to know."

"What about the three children after the divorce?"

"They’re not that young anymore; I’m sure that woman must have done something. But in the office, my elder brother didn’t say much."

"Poor Xue." Qu Xiaoli sighed. The girl is already fourteen, becoming a young lady. A motherless child will also be looked down upon by the in-laws.

"What’s the big deal? When she was around, the kids didn’t seem to get much care."

"It’s still different, let’s leave it at that. Honglin’s wife doesn’t talk much, who knows if Xue will suffer in the future?"

"My elder brother said to leave the three children behind. He insisted on giving me fifty yuan, but I refused."

"Can’t accept it; the three kids will join the autumn harvest this year; there will be food allocated, eating is not a problem. As their uncle and aunt, supporting them is normal."

"My wife understands."

"What else can be done? Is my elder brother really coming over on Sunday?"

"Yes, he said so."

"Okay, save some meat for him when he comes. Hope Honglin’s wife is a good one."

"Honglin’s wife is approved by my elder brother; she mustn’t be bad."

"Hopefully. By the way, find time to pay Teacher Jiang for the meat. We’ve had four pounds today, and last time it was five pounds.

I initially thought of repaying with meat, but our family can’t distribute that much meat. Besides, I want the kids to satisfy their cravings during the New Year."

"Alright, I’ll pay back. We can’t get meat, but it’s not an issue for Xiao Wei and Old Wang."

"Still feels like taking advantage of them."

"After the harvest, when I go up the mountain to gather firewood, if I encounter some wild game, I’ll send some over."

"Okay." But it’s known that wild game can’t compare to good pork.

Liu Zhibin lay his head on the pillow with a sun-soaked scent, thinking about his worries felt a bit amusing. Village Chief Li’s household, while not affluent, was truly clean. Especially the half-grown boy’s room, really clean.

He also thought of their factory, genuinely impressed how such a remote village had this capability.

He also knew that the bank would definitely lend them money, just based on their two tractors, a loan was certain.

To borrow money means the ability to repay; this small mountain village actually has two tractors, which can’t be underestimated, this will be included in his report.

Liu Zhibin already had a very good impression of the village, and he knew that there was attention from above; plus the village’s conditions, wanting to borrow more money was certainly doable.

Li Yunqiao and his three sons returned home at night; they all ate at the canteen.

Seeing Dad waiting for them in the living room, the couple also sat down.

"I’m returning to the hometown on Sunday, arrange your time accordingly. Need to work overtime?"

"Yes, I’ve already told the leader, I can accumulate leave."

Li Yunqiao nodded, "Then I’ll go back on my own. Okay, you also go rest."

The son and daughter-in-law went into the room, Li Yunqiao began cleaning. Though Liang Caifeng was muddle-headed, she was clean and orderly. After so many years, he’s used to it, now he does it himself.

Li Honglin heard the commotion and came down, helping his father clean up. Father and son chatted casually about the hometown situation.

After cleaning up, he lay on the bed, thinking about how to talk to the three kids, Xue had grown up, he can’t directly say her uncle’s family has designs on her; it would hurt the child. Although he wouldn’t agree to their interaction, he feared Xue would have resentment towards her mother.

Actually, Li Yunqiao misunderstood Liang Caifeng in this matter. Her sister-in-law had that idea, mentioned it to her, but she didn’t agree nor refuse, simply said something to Li Yunqiao, not taking it to heart.

In the middle of the night, Qu Xiaoli brought meals to her son and nephew, just pancakes with fried eggs inside.

"You two rest a bit, plant early tomorrow. Staying up all night, the body can’t take it."

"Mom, we know; we’ll sleep right after eating."

The two lads slept on the trailer of the tractor.

Qu Xiaoli really felt for the two kids, but seeing them happy, willing to do it, she repeatedly said it, but they didn’t listen, so that’s it.

Seeing her son and nephew eating blissfully, "Today your dad brought the bank people over."

"That fast?"

"Yes, Master Wei is anxious. He told your dad to wait for the farming slack period, take you two out for a trip, said it’s for business. Heard doing business costs a lot."

"Yes, Master Wei told us."

That’s why they were eager too. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

When Qu Xiaoli returned, Li Yungui was awake, extremely satisfied with his wife. His sister-in-law was stingy, never prepared food for the nephews. It’s always the wife who took midnight meals to the two brothers.

"Quick, get some rest, why are you up?"

"You should also hurry to the kang and rest."

Qu Xiaoli shook her head, "I’m kneading dough, tomorrow morning noodles."

Mixing flour and sweet potato flour; though it doesn’t look good, it’s dark, but it’s chewy and tasty.

By six o’clock, Qu Xiaoli got up, used meat fat for cooking, made tomato soup noodles. Also baked a potful of pancakes.

Liu Zhibin ate, feeling it’s really good, this rural life is even better than the city’s.

After eating, Li Yungui rode a bike to escort Liu Zhibin to the county to catch the bus.

"Village Chief Li, wait for the news."

"Good, I hope it gets done quickly, now they can go purchase the raw materials; winter is too cold, and spring is busy with planting."

"Understood, I’ll write the report when I return, will submit it tomorrow for sure."
