Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 845: Harvest

Jiang Xinyu can understand that some villages, even though they’ve handed in the public grain, most of the corn is probably not shelled yet. They soon need to distribute the grain, so having it shelled would be great.

"Teacher Jiang, our village will have Zhiqing and other sent-down people this year."

Jiang Xinyu nodded. Last year, no one came to the village as a favor, but this year we can’t avoid it.

"Tomorrow we will start building houses for them," Li Yunqiang said with a sigh. Many Zhiqing have had accidents; he truly hopes they won’t come.

"Accountant Li, actually, I think if our village receives sent-down people, it would be much better."

Li Yunqiang paused, then quickly understood what Jiang Xinyu meant.

"Alright, we’ll go to the township the day after tomorrow and choose the sent-down people."

"Discuss it with Village Chief Li, even if they’re sent down, try not to pick the former officials."

Jiang Xinyu is afraid of causing trouble for the village.

Li Yunqiang frowned, "I can’t tell."

Jiang Xinyu sighed, regretting what she just said, "Let it be, anything is fine. Whoever comes is whoever comes."

"I understand. When the time comes, we won’t really have a selection. Whatever arrangement, we’ll take it."

Currently, Wei Kaiyun and Shang Zhenkun are taking the three children around high-rises in the provincial capital.

Old Yang has taken them to negotiate at a chemical plant.

"Dad, I want to go to the scrap station."

"Okay, I’ll take you there later. Feifei, Daddy will swap books for you tonight."

"Really?"

"Yep, definitely will. Though you want to visit the scrap station, we’ll check it out too."

Shi Jing doesn’t care where they go; as long as he can roam around after getting off the train, that’s good enough.

Shang Zhenkun told them about the city’s notable figures and anecdotes, and the three children listened with great interest.

They bought lots of pastries from the high-rises; even though the children ate little, there were brothers. Wei Kaiyun is never stingy. Once he approves of something, he shares benefits with his brothers.

After making a round, the family of five headed to the scrap station. Wei Kaiyun took out his cigarettes and chatted with the person in charge.

"The kids love reading. Let’s see if there are comic books and let them pick."

The person in charge is a fifty-year-old whose son is a deputy, so he arranged this easy job for his father.

"All the books are in that warehouse. I’ve never really noticed if there are comic books. Two truckloads arrived last night; I haven’t sorted them yet, let the kids choose."

Feifei cheerfully thanked him and rushed into the warehouse.

She looked at the books mentioned by the elder, which came from confiscated homes. She squatted down to pick and choose. Shang Zhenkun took the two boys next door to check out the damaged furniture, feeling genuinely heartbroken. He picked the best wood, which can be sent back with raw materials.

With this idea, he explained to the boys which timber is valuable and which is pricey, so they helped him gather things.

Wei Kaiyun sat chatting with the old man, asking about the black market’s location with plans to check it out tonight. Since his daughter likes books, he’d buy more for her.

Jiang Feifei stored the particularly precious items in her space, along with some paintings and calligraphy. Those with historical significance were picked out to be purchased later; this way, they can be procured openly.

The family spent three hours at the scrap station, making significant finds. Shi Jing discovered a delicate box in a vanity stool that Shang Zhenkun secretly took, knowing it shouldn’t be exposed.

Wei Kaiyun looked at the bags of books his daughter picked out.

"Brother, we want all of these, but how can we transport them?"

"No problem, I’ve got carts here. I’ll lend one to you."

"Alright, thank you, brother. I’ll return it tomorrow."

These worthless papers were bought for five yuan. Wei Kaiyun gave an extra five yuan.

"Brother, thanks a lot. My wife is a teacher; she’s been teaching the kids to love books since they were young." He explained why he needed so many books.

"That’s great! You’ve married well; the kids will surely turn out well."

Wei Kaiyun enjoys compliments about his wife, so he nodded approvingly, leaving the old man with a bag of pastries.

Shang Zhenkun and the two boys packed the cart, utterly full. Wei Kaiyun took charge of pushing, while Shang Zhenkun watched the three kids follow behind.

"Dad, did I buy too many books?"

"No problem; just send them home with the raw materials. Your mom will certainly like them.

I’ll go out tonight to see if there are more; anything for my daughter’s interest, Dad can provide."

Jiang Feifei smiled, feeling the fatherly love she missed for so long. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Shi Jing ran to Wei Kaiyun, whispering that he found a beautiful box.

"Haha, my son has such good luck? Let’s check the contents when we’re back."

Shi Jing nodded excitedly, unaware of its value, simply happy with his luck. That excitement was the reason.

The three children whispered among themselves, while Wei Kaiyun led the way, feeling that bringing them on this outing was the right decision.

With the means, he should take them out, letting them see more of the vast world beyond. This can broaden their horizons. They returned to the inn, Wei Kaiyun directly placed everything in his room.

Old Yang and the others had returned and made arrangements. Big Biao would stay, handling the city’s raw materials.

Jiang Feifei knew this, so she persistently reminded Big Biao, "Uncle Biao, these books mustn’t touch the raw materials or we’ll ruin them.

Make sure to send them home after you return; I handpicked them."

Big Biao promised firmly, "Feifei, don’t worry, Uncle Biao will safely send these books home."

Only then did Jiang Feifei feel assured. Old Yang watched, amused, "Feifei, why do you love books so much?"

"I want to set up a large study; naturally, I need many books."

"Alright, when Uncle Yang comes across books, he’ll bring them for you."

"Uncle Yang, really?"

"Certainly, if my treasure likes something, Uncle Yang will prepare it for you." Old Yang truly adores this lovely little girl; when he first met her, he wanted her to stay by his side, but the little girl refused. He reluctantly let them go to Li Family Village.
