She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 831 - 780: Famine Era 21 (First Update)

Back at their own home, when the military badge was mentioned, Third Brother immediately became interested: "Let me have a look."

When Ye Huan handed the badge to Ye Jiazhe, his eyes turned red instantly, looking at his sister in disbelief.

"This is our unit, this is our unit number. Did you see clearly what the person who rescued you looked like?"

Ye Huan shook her head, "I don’t even know how this thing got on me."

Suddenly, Ye Jiazhe seemed to think of something. He gently tore open a corner of the badge, and when he saw the name inside, he was stunned.

Ye Huan took a look, "Ji Huzi? Oh my God, Third Brother, isn’t this the Company Commander you mentioned to me before?"

Was she actually rescued by Third Brother’s Company Commander?

Ye Jiazhe touched the badge, choking up and unable to speak for a moment, excited yet unable to say a word for a long time.

The person who first saved Third Brother and then saved her really piqued her curiosity.

Because Ye Huan survived and brought back a photo with several brothers, the entire Ye family was very happy.

But Ye Huan was filled with emotion and said, "Luckily I tucked the photo tightly. If not for my brothers watching over me, this might have been my memorial photo."

"Pfft pfft pfft, you jinx, how can you say such things? During the New Year, you mustn’t talk nonsense,"

Third Sister-in-law, heavily pregnant, was about to give birth after the New Year. Mom said this sister-in-law is very filial, Third Brother’s work is also going smoothly, with her and Dad managing things inside and outside, and the younger sister helping to take care of the children and cook after school, she felt her life would be complete if only Fourth Brother could return.

Since splitting up, the tofu business had each of the three families taking a designated area. Every day, doing twenty to thirty jin wasn’t a problem for each family.

Because Mom had to take care of the younger brother, Dad could still handle twenty to thirty jin alone, as the brothers and sisters-in-law all had formal jobs and weren’t under much pressure. Selling just enough to cover daily expenses was enough.

Ye Huan wanted to help after coming back, but Mom thought she shouldn’t work too much after recovering from a serious illness. With her sister helping out and the brothers and Mom lending a hand, they could manage to make fifty to sixty jin.

Ye Huan couldn’t help much, so she focused on preparing some New Year food. On Chinese New Year’s Day, it was their turn to host the grandparents.

The room was already tidied up, ready for Mom and Dad to move in. Mom and Dad moved into Fourth Brother’s room. Originally, she and Ye Yu planned to empty their room, but Mom refused, saying the room was prepared for them two sisters who rarely came back, so there was no need to keep moving around.

Ye Huan made a lot of fried food at home. Since they didn’t have lotus root, she substituted it from space and found an opportunity to go out, claiming she bought it herself.

This year, someone in the village slaughtered a pig, and their family bought five jin of meat.

This year, besides lotus root, Ye Huan didn’t even buy eggs, because she was too focused on getting home, neglecting everything else.

Fortunately, the brother and sister-in-law’s work units gave them benefits, especially eggs. However, since the sister-in-law urgently needed nutrition, all the eggs at home were eaten by the sister-in-law and little Jialei. As for the five jin of pork, it was used for making dumplings, and two jin were given to the sister-in-law to take to relatives. Averaging it out, everyone couldn’t eat much, maybe just a hint of meat flavor in the dumpling filling.

Without pig lard, there was naturally no oil residue to use, so the family used oil pressed from homegrown rapeseed.

On New Year’s Eve, Mom and Dad brought grandparents over, and they spent a reunion year together. Unlike previous years, with the addition of the sister-in-law and the absence of Uncle and Auntie, it was the first New Year they celebrated in the new home, which made everyone very happy and attentive.

That night, the grandparents gave each of their grandchildren ten yuan as lucky money, even to the pregnant sister-in-law and the studying Ye Huan.

As for Third Brother’s share, it was given to the sister-in-law, meaning she got two shares, and so did the parents.

Ye Huan initially didn’t feel right accepting it, but the grandparents insisted on giving it, and the parents couldn’t decline either, so everyone got it.

Later, Third Sister-in-law also gave each of the younger ones one yuan, not much, but a token gesture.

That night, they each earned 21 yuan in government currency.

Ye Huan didn’t keep the money but gave it to Ye Yu, asking her to buy daily necessities.

Ye Yu had just turned 14 after New Year’s, now in the second year of junior high. Though her studies weren’t particularly outstanding, they weren’t bad either.
