Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 816 Contributors

"I can’t stop worrying about you all." Old Yang frowned.

"Really, it’s fine. I’ll just stay at home and won’t go out. Once the three of them come back from work, they’ll need to cook for themselves. If I stay, they’ll have ready-made, hot meals to eat."

"I’m also afraid someone might cause trouble."

"Haha, you don’t have to worry, everyone knows I’m your wife, no one will cause trouble. Is it okay if I don’t go?"

Old Yang listened to her coquettish voice, and his hands started to become restless.

After it was over, Old Yang gently stroked his wife’s soft back, "Alright, if you want to stay at home, stay. But be sure not to go to work."

"Mmm, I’m not stupid. Who wants to go to work?

You should be careful outside, and don’t overexert yourself."

"Okay, I know, even when riding the train, it’s nothing."

Wei Kaiyun rode his bike back to the village, and before he even reached home, a child ran over, "Master Wei, the village chief wants you to come to the brigade headquarters."

Wei Kaiyun rode over directly and saw a lot of people in the yard.

"Xiao Wei, you’re finally back. Look, this is our harvest today."

Wei Kaiyun propped up his bicycle, "Quite a harvest indeed."

"Yes, but we didn’t dare to go further inside."

"That’s wise, it’s too risky to be worth it."

What does Li Yungui want with me?

"Xiao Wei, take a pheasant home with you."

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "No need, we still have some at home." Although there are more than ten pheasants and a few hares at home, there are many people here. Not everyone would get a share, and he wouldn’t take advantage of that.

"Xiao Wei, everyone has discussed giving Teacher Jiang two chickens, but Teacher Jiang doesn’t want them."

Wei Kaiyun understood the reason they called him over.

"Village Chief Li, we really have enough at home, everyone has had a hard day, let everyone share.

Thanks everyone for taking care of our family. I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, I’ve already prepared firewood at home, but I feel it’s not enough. I’m thinking of having everyone send some firewood to our home." Wei Kaiyun didn’t mention buying them, he just asked directly. This way, it avoided further discussion.

"That’s a small matter, don’t worry about it. We’ll make sure your home has enough firewood."

"Thank you, everyone." His family definitely wouldn’t take advantage, and he would pay them back in other ways in the future.

"No need to be polite, we aren’t ungrateful people."

Wei Kaiyun chatted with everyone for a while and then went home.

After getting home and taking a bath, he heard the sound of a tractor.

Is this Chaoyang and the others coming back? They sure are quick.

The family had just finished dinner when the four members of Li Family came over. Jiang Xinyu looked at the two young men who had lost a lot of weight, "Nice, the two heroes are back."

The two shyly smiled and called out, "Teacher Jiang."

Li Yunqiang hurriedly handed money to Jiang Xinyu, "Teacher Jiang, this is six hundred yuan from Liu Village."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and accepted it, counted, and then took it inside.

Li Yungui was discussing how much money they should take with them when they leave the day after tomorrow.

"Xiao Wei, the village owes you money, Yun Qiang has already adjusted the account, and asked Teacher Jiang to give money to you and Old Yang."

At that moment, Jiang Xinyu came out, Li Yunqiang said, "Teacher Jiang, give the five thousand owed to your family and two thousand eight hundred owed to Old Yang directly to them, I’ve already adjusted the accounts."

"Alright." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jiang Xinyu watched them chatting and went to the storeroom to find two strips of two-jin smoked meat, mainly because the two young men looked too thin.

Both families declined. Jiang Xinyu laughed and said, "You are the heroes, everyone in the village has shown their appreciation, I can’t be the exception, please accept it."

"Yes, take it home, improve your taste and have a good rest, we’ll set off the day after tomorrow."

It was evident that the couple was sincere, so the families accepted.

Today, both families were stewing meat, each shared a pheasant and a hare. Looking at their children who have returned thinner and darker, their mothers were heartbroken.

Although Liu Cuilan was somewhat fussy, when it comes to her child, of course, she would be concerned.

So she asked Li Yunqiang to prepare the pheasant and hare while she stewed the meat at home.

She had already changed a bit, now she’d make dinner when she comes home, without waiting for Li Yunqiang to come back and cook.

Now Li Yunqiang is very satisfied, the relationship between the couple has improved as well. Initially, Li Yunqiang liked his wife genuinely, and she didn’t really harm the family. So although he was heartbroken initially, he warmed up again.

Li Yungui and his son went home and gave the smoked meat to Qu Xiaoli.

"Teacher Jiang gave us this, it’s good, Changhe go and pull some green onion, and some garlic sprouts, we’ll stir-fry it simply."

The second son was so tired that as a mother, how could she not be concerned and wanted to give him all the delicious things at home.

She asked her niece to start the fire and put the smoked meat into the pot to cook. Since the meat hadn’t been smoked for long, it was still soft and easy to cook.

Shu Wen came running over, "Second aunt, my mom asked me to ask you how to cook the smoked meat that Teacher Jiang gave us?"

"Tell your mom to boil it until cooked, don’t add any seasonings, the smoked meat is salty, once cooked, slice it thin, and stir-fry with green onion and garlic sprouts. Remember?"

"I remember, I’m going now." He said and ran off.

"Second aunt, fourth aunt has started cooking too." Li Xue sighed.

"Xue’er, in the future, marry someone like your fourth uncle, see how well he treats your fourth aunt."

Being a young girl in her teens, her face blushed immediately after hearing that.

"Xue’er, second aunt is telling the truth, for a woman to live a life like your fourth aunt’s is enough.

Your own man dotes on and supports you, your own son respects and cares for you, what more could one ask for?"

Li Xue, hearing her second aunt say this, found it very reasonable. Fourth uncle indeed treated fourth aunt very well. Even Xiang Dong and their group took care of household chores, and she had seen them cooking on more than one occasion.

Qu Xiaoli didn’t elaborate, given Li Xue is still young, she was merely sharing a sentiment.

Mother and daughter were in the main house with one pot stewing meat. Another pot cooking meat, and another steaming buns and cakes in the other main house.

Now that the weather is cold, not heating the kang would be impossible, so every day Qu Xiaoli made sure to light a fire in the children’s room.

This is also why farm households seem to never have enough firewood. Once it gets colder, usually the entire family sleeps on one kang together. That way, it’s warmer, and the saved firewood can be used for one room.

Changhe and Cheng Lin heated water for their second brother and Red Army so they could have a hot bath.

Once the little brothers had bathed, they finally felt relaxed. They were also tired, a kind of fatigue coming from the depths of their being. Yawning continuously, with tears streaming down.
