Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 852: Examination

Lv Guodong rushed out of the house. "Aunt Jiang is here."

Jiang Xinyu saw Guodong opening the door and smiled while patting his shoulder.

The whole family came out. Seeing Jiang Xinyu coming in with Guodong with a big smile, they all greeted her cheerfully. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Aunt Jiang, why did you come so late?" Jing Chu asked while holding Jiang Xinyu’s hand.

"I’m going to the county tomorrow, and I came to ask Xiaoli if she wants to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Zhao Xiaoli came over smiling, "If you hadn’t come tonight, I was planning to ask Guodong to take a day off in a few days so you could take me to the hospital."

"Haha, this means I came at the right time. Alright, I won’t go in. The kids at home haven’t slept yet, so I need to hurry back. I’ll come to pick you up in the morning."

Jing Chu was very reluctant to let Jiang Xinyu go.

"Alright, alright. Why don’t you ask Village Chief Wang for leave tomorrow and come over, and we can go to the county together?"

Jing Chu’s eyes lit up, "Aunt Jiang, my brother, Xiao Qiang and I will go to ask Village Chief Wang for leave right away, there isn’t much work now. It’s just that the grain hasn’t been distributed yet."

Jiang Xinyu patted Jing Chu’s hand, "You guys go ask, once the time is confirmed, I’ll come to pick you up.

Xiaoli, you should also ask Village Chief Wang for leave, right?"

"Yes, Old Yang has already talked to Village Chief Wang, but I’ll go talk to him too. I’ll go with Jing Chu and the others."

Jiang Xinyu nodded with a smile and then drove away.

"Xiao Qiang, let’s go find Village Chief Wang together. If the grain distribution is scheduled for the next few days, we’ll wait, but if there’s no set date, we’ll take leave and go to Aunt Jiang’s house."

"That’s right, Jing Chu is right. Let’s go to Village Chief Wang’s house together," Zhao Xiaoli said with a smile.

The four of them arrived at Wang Shulin’s house, and the door was already closed. Jing Chu, being impatient, didn’t listen to Zhao Xiaoli’s suggestion to come back in the morning.

Wang Shulin saw the four of them coming together, and he understood what was going on.

Actually, there wasn’t much work in the fields now, so if they wanted to leave, it was acceptable. He should give Old Yang a bit of face, after all.

"Village Chief Wang, we came to ask when our grain will be distributed," Guodong began.

"The calculations are currently underway. I estimate it will take a few days. Why? Is there any difficulty?" Could I have guessed wrong?

"Village Chief Wang, we want to go to our relative’s place to learn tomorrow. Since it’s just a matter of days, we’ll wait for the grain distribution before we leave. We won’t be coming back over the New Year either."

Wang Shulin knew the relative Guodong was talking about was Old Yang’s friend, the one who invented that corn sheller, Wei Kaiyun.

"Actually, it’s better for you to wait until after the grain distribution before you go. Zhao Zhiqing, are you going too?" Old Yang had mentioned his wife would take leave to leave, but later said she wouldn’t leave.

Zhao Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "Yes, Old Yang wanted me to go for a long time, but with three half-grown kids at home, I didn’t. Now that they can go, I’m definitely going with them."

"Alright, I agree."

It was already very late, so the four of them didn’t stay long.

"Sister Jing Chu, are you happy now?" Zhao Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.

"Yes, I am. I want to see what Aunt Jiang’s second son looks like." Actually, Lv Jingchu didn’t want to stay with Zhao Xiaoli; she just didn’t like her for some reason.

"Jing Chu, you should go to the county tomorrow too. We haven’t collected our subsidies yet," Guodong told his sister.

Lv Jingchu thought about it, and it was true; they hadn’t collected their allowances for several months. "Alright, I’ll go out tomorrow too. Xiao Qiang, is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you."

"Sister Jingchu, I don’t want anything; we have everything at home."

They chatted and laughed as they returned home.

After Jiang Xinyu returned home, she boiled water for a bath. She decided not to take the kids tomorrow since she still had to go to the hospital.

"Sister Du, please stay at home and watch the kids tomorrow. I’m going to the county with Zhao Xiaoli for a hospital check-up."

"Sure, the kids are fine with formula during the day now."

The next day, Jiang Xinyu got up at six. Breakfast was noodle soup. After they both ate, Jiang Xinyu fed the two kids again. At seven, they set off in the car.

As the car entered Jin Family Village, many children gathered around.

Zhao Xiaoli and Jing Chu had already packed up and came out with their backpacks when they heard the noise outside.

"Jing Chu, are you going out to play too?"

"Our subsidies haven’t been collected for months, so we’re going to check that out today."

Zhao Xiaoli just smiled, "My subsidy hasn’t been collected either."

Jing Chu sat in the passenger seat, while Zhao Xiaoli sat in the back.

"Alright, let’s go."

"Aunt Jiang, how’s Shi Xian now?"

"I’m going to the county to pick up their hundred-day photos."

"Haha, they must be particularly cute, right?"

"Not bad, they look more like your Uncle Wei, bad-tempered. They cry loudly if things don’t go their way."

"Uncle Wei seems to have a pretty good temper."

"Who knows who he got this temper from? I’m not that impatient. When he gets older, I’ll make sure to correct it. It’s not okay to have everything go his way; outside the family, who will accommodate him?"

"Aunt Jiang, do you miss Feifei and Shi Jing?"

"Of course. I worry about them, but it’s rare to have this opportunity, so I don’t want to let them miss it. Let them see the world outside."

"I also want to go out and see the world."

Jiang Xinyu sighed with a smile, "You’re a big girl now. We’d really be worried if you went out."

"What’s there to worry about? I’m not a fool, am I? Would I be tricked by others?"

"Jing Chu, you’re thinking too simply. You may be smart, but sometimes the most direct and effective thing is physical strength.

If you encounter bad people, are you going to reason with them?"

Jing Chu thought about it, and it made sense. But spending all day in that small village, always having endless work, how could she not be fed up?

"Don’t be discouraged. Things will be better in the future. When you grow up, we won’t stop you if you want to go out."

"It feels like a long way off. By the way, my dad wrote a letter."

"I also received a letter from back home. Everything’s the same, nothing’s changed."

"Aunt Jiang, when are you and Uncle Wei going back? Are you really going to live here?"

"I haven’t decided yet. It’s chaotic outside; there’s nowhere as peaceful as here, like a haven. Why go back?"

"But how about Shi Jing and Feifei’s schooling?"

"Master Shang is teaching them; they’re all learning at home."

Zhao Xiaoli listened to their lively conversation and felt envious. But she really didn’t know what to talk about with them; they were familiar with each other long before, of course, they have plenty of topics to discuss.
