Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Discussion

"Uncle Yang, have you eaten?"

Old Yang shook his head, "No, I’ll wait for dinner together."

"Shall I go out and buy you something?"

"No need. You watch the stove, I’ll take a nap."

Li Xue arrived shortly after. The young couple stayed glued together, seeming like they never wanted to part.

Wei Kaiyun arrived in the city just past one o’clock. Accompanying him were four kids, Shang Zhenkun, and a few others’ luggage.

"Tickets have been bought for 1 AM tomorrow; daytime train tickets for sleepers were unavailable."

"Alright, the train station isn’t far from home.

Here, this is the meal we brought for you."

Old Yang nodded with a smile, used to homemade meals, he wasn’t keen on outside food.

Wei Kaiyun went to pick up the Li Family Brothers. Li Yunqiao invited them over for dinner tonight.

"Vice Mayor Li, time is tight, the train is late at night. We can’t make it, it’s too hectic."

"I’ll find a vehicle to take you there."

Wei Kaiyun thought about it and agreed. This way, it saves multiple trips.

"Alright, come to my house by 11:30."

Li Yunqiao nodded and soon went to make arrangements. It’d have to be a large truck, given they were sixteen people and would have quite a bit of luggage.

"Xiao Wei, you should come back soon. Without you guys around, I feel uneasy," Li Yungui lamented.

"I will, but it’ll be after the New Year before I return."

"I’m worried you’ll leave for good in the future."

Wei Kaiyun just smiled without replying to Li Yungui.

After returning home, the next wave of arrivals included all the food, luggage, and Zhao Xiaoli, Ah Bao, and Zhang Qiu’e.

Jiang Xinyu went to Li Yungui’s house to hand the keys to Qu Xiaoli, "Sister-in-law, please burn some fire regularly; sorry to trouble you with looking after the house."

"Sure, no problem. Teacher Jiang, come back soon."

"Yes, I’ll try to come back soon after the New Year if travel is convenient."

This feeling of being missed and cared for warmed Jiang Xinyu’s heart.

Living here for these years, she had developed fond connections.

Li Yungui also said from the side, "Xiao Jiang, with all of you leaving, I feel uneasy."

"Village Chief Li, things are great now. Nothing to feel uneasy about. As for the pig farm, have Doctor Liu take a look once a month."

The chicken farm is already running smoothly. No worries.

"I intend to sell all the big roosters by year-end."

"That sounds good. There are quite a few medium-sized roosters left, and there’ll be plenty next year; selling them is fine."

"Everyone’s focused on these big roosters now, afraid there won’t be enough. Today, the bank asked me to prepare fifty for them, ready for delivery around the twentieth of the lunar month."

This was not something Jiang Xinyu could comment on.

Back home, Tingting came over. This child might be timid; while Shi Xian was already walking steadily, she still treaded cautiously.

For this adopted child, Jiang Xinyu had grown deeply fond After over a year of nurturing. The little girl’s shy smile was especially endearing.

"Jing Chu, keep an eye on them; I’ll make lunch, and we can go after eating."

"Aunt Jiang, Aunt Zhang mentioned she would cook before she left."

Jiang Xinyu checked the time, calculating they would definitely be back late but worried they’d wait for food.

"Alright, let’s return and eat. I wonder if we’re missing anything else?"

"What could be missing? Isn’t having money and tickets enough?"

Jing Chu’s pragmatic view was refreshingly straightforward, yet held truth.

Plenty of food had been prepared, at least enough for several days; if insufficient, adjustments would be made on the train.

Anything lacking could be purchased upon arrival in the Capital.

Today, Han Xiangjun surely knew they were departing, and the bedding there would likely be insufficient, so he would have to prepare in advance.

"Aunt Jiang, once we’re in the Capital, we want to head back to our old home. I want to spend the New Year with Dad."

"Certainly, you should spend it with your father.

We’ll wait for Master Shang’s health check-up results before deciding; if there’s nothing serious, we’re planning to return to our hometown but will head back to the Capital for the New Year."

"Then we’ll also wait for Master Shang’s test results before leaving."

"No need for you guys; you should go back. Your dad has it tough."

"Indeed, no matter how we persuade him, he won’t listen. I wonder what he’s thinking? Alone, he must be lonely."

Jiang Xinyu thought to herself that she had tried to persuade him, but Lv Beiguang was unwilling, and what could be done?

"Aunt Jiang, will your whole family return?"

"Yes, we’ll drive back."

"It’s great that you and Uncle Wei can drive. When I go back, I will tidy up your home and light a fire every day, otherwise, it’ll be too cold."

"Haha, that would be wonderful. We plan to spend a few days at home and meet and dine with those uncles and aunties you know."

"Yes, I remember them well.

Aunt Jiang, try persuading my dad when you get back; perhaps he can accompany us there. I’m really not at ease leaving him alone in our old home."

Jiang Xinyu felt moved; this could indeed be possible. That disaster couldn’t be prevented; coming here seemed the best option.

"Actually, I think that’s feasible too; at least the wages could be converted to money, and a house could be bought.

Jing Chu, I assure you, you’ll have the opportunity to attend university in the future, and you could bring your dad along then; who knows, your dad might even take the test too."

Jing Chu giggled, "Sure, I’ll talk to Dad immediately; hopefully, he’ll come back with us."

"Returning would indeed be nice; he could brew wine in the village, just the same."

Jing Chu seriously considered Jiang Xinyu’s suggestion, finding it perfectly reasonable.

"Aunt Jiang, I’ll talk to him first, and you can also talk to my dad when you return."

"Alright, your brother will be getting married in a few years; your dad could come over to help out. Actually, formal employment doesn’t really matter for you guys; your dad doesn’t need to hold onto it."

Shi Xian, having played enough, came over to Jiang Xinyu, wrapping his arms around her neck from behind and climbing up bit by bit.

Jiang Xinyu reached back to pat his little bottom but didn’t stop him. Shi Xian giggled gleefully.

"Aunt Jiang, I’ll tell Dad to come over to help build my brother’s house."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "That’s a good excuse; your dad should agree. I seem to recall he said he’d come to stay with you guys in the past.

Jing Chu, you must persuade your dad."

"Yes, we’ll all talk to him."

Amid their chat, there was a knock at the door.

Jing Chu opened the door and was momentarily stunned to see Yang Zhongyi outside.

"Mr. Yang."

"Jing Chu."

"Mr. Yang, come in, Uncle Wei and Uncle Yang aren’t here."

"That’s why you answered the door."

Yang Zhongyi followed Jing Chu inside, his heart feeling a faint ache.
