Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 781 Corn Shaking Machine

After Jiang Xinyu tidied up, she still felt quite unaccustomed to the change, but things were improving a lot. Habits truly are daunting.

She crawled into bed, hugged her son, and watched him smack his lips, finding it particularly adorable.

Turning over, she looked at the little girl. This little girl really did, as Zhao Xiaoli said, resemble her a bit. Perhaps it was because she saw her every day and drank her milk.

She didn’t lie; she truly wasn’t hoping for anything from this child. It was just that the timing of the child’s appearance was just right.

If she had come sooner or later, she might not have adopted her. This child will require careful upbringing, she thought, but she couldn’t let her develop her parents’ personality.

Some traits are innate, but they can be gradually corrected through nurture. A woman can’t be too soft; this was something she learned through living two lifetimes.

If she hadn’t felt inferior in her past life, she wouldn’t have ended up that way.

Now Jiang Xinyu believes that one must be optimistic in life to attract fortune.

No matter how you live, it’s a lifetime; she’s had enough of fearful and timid days.

Although her personality in this life is just as ordinary and not very likable, it’s already much better than the last.

So with this child, she must nurture an optimistic personality.

Thinking about all these things, she slowly fell asleep.

Zhao Xiaoli also felt unaccustomed. Ever since getting married, except for the day at the Wei Family, the couple hadn’t slept together. Tonight, with only herself in bed, she felt uncomfortable.

After getting married, the two were together every day, and she became delicate.

She understands her own personality—not strong, lacking ambition, just coasting along.

Since being with Old Yang, she’s become more content, relying on him. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Old Yang should like her dependency. Now, the way he looks at her is different from when they first got married.

She also knows that she was able to be with Old Yang because she was proactive; at first, he really didn’t have romantic feelings for her.

But now she can see there’s a place for her in his eyes.

That’s enough; having a man stronger than herself to take care of her.

She just wants to live a life where a man spoils and coddles her. She has a keen eye.

In her eyes, Old Yang is someone who can do everything; she might as well say he’s her hero.

Zhao Xiaoli touched her belly; Old Yang said it didn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl, but she hoped for a boy.

She likes boys. Having a son means Old Yang will have an heir.

With many thoughts, she slept with a smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Wei Kaiyun and the blacksmith were making molds. Old Yang had gone to sleep; he wasn’t needed here and didn’t understand any of this.

The blacksmith was particularly excited to finally have a chance to handle his tools again.

"Master Lu, how about living in my village? That way you can do what you love."

"No one in the village will report me?"

"I don’t think so; even if someone does, there won’t be any trouble."

"I’ll consider it."

"Master Lu, seriously consider it. You can continue forging and doing what you love. Don’t worry about materials; I’ll find a way for you."

Lu Tiezhu was tempted; Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun seemed capable, and following them should be secure.

He’s alone, living anywhere is the same; countryside life might suit him better.

"Can you make decisions?"

"Once the machine is made, the whole village may not worship you, but you’ll surely be warmly welcomed."

"I have too many tools."

"No worries, we’ll find a truck plus a new house. If you don’t like it, you can build anew. Pick your home site, and the villagers will help, fast-moving indeed."

"Alright then, I agree to go back with you."

Wei Kaiyun promised, "Master Lu, don’t worry. You will be very satisfied with life in the village, and I’ll meet your needs and protect you."

"Great, I’ll go with you after finishing this. There’s nothing to miss in the city."

They walked around discussing some parts’ details with drawings. When Old Yang awoke, he saw the two already started working.

"I’ll get food for you two."

Breakfast was bought and brought back; no one was eating, both entirely focused on the machine.

"Old Yang, find a truck to help Master Lu move; he’s going back with me."

Old Yang eyed Wei Kaiyun, thinking this guy sure knows how to persuade people.

"Alright, you don’t need me here. I’ll take a walk and bring lunch for you two later."

Old Yang went out; trucks were easy to find, just needed food and drinks ready plus twelve brothers waiting to eat.

Meat wasn’t scarce; they’d soon head up the mountain. Since Xiao Wei and the others encountered wild boars, they could surely catch some.

Old Yang directly found the black market guy in charge of food, asked for 200 pounds of cornmeal, 200 pounds of rice, and 200 pounds of flour; luckily caught some noodles, got dozens of pounds late. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Thirty pounds each of soybean and sunflower seed oil.

Food to take back was ready, bought meals at the cafeteria.

For himself and Xiao Wei, meat wasn’t a big deal, but this Master Lu probably hadn’t eaten meat in ages, so he bought two portions, three bowls of rice, twelve buns, plus eggplant stew with potatoes. The sound of tools came from inside as he arrived home.

"Old Yang, look, it worked!" Wei Kaiyun’s voice was rare with excitement.

Old Yang watched Wei Kaiyun’s demonstration, "It really is a good thing. This saves a lot of effort."

Lu Tiezhu was also very satisfied with making it.

"Let’s eat first. Anything else can wait until after we eat."

Lu Tiezhu enjoyed the oily red meat mixed with rice, feeling life was too good.

"Master Lu, I have lots of meat at home from the last wild boar hunt, made into cured meat sausages."

"Cured meat?"

"Smoked with fruit wood."

"Really? I’ve wanted to eat some for a while. I’ll pack this afternoon and go back with you."

"Good, I can make sure Master Lu eats meat every day."

"Haha, great, I’m definitely going."

After eating, Old Yang squatted by the corn-shaking machine, fed in corn cobs and turned the handle, the sound of dropping kernels.

"Good stuff, really good stuff. You two don’t rush; make another one in the afternoon. I see the furnace is available."

"The current flame isn’t enough. Let’s wait until we get back to make another."

Wei Kaiyun missed his wife and children; going home only delays a day.

Old Yang smiled at Wei Kaiyun; this guy, who’d think he’d be like this.
