Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Returning Home

"Xiao Li, shouldn’t you ask Xiao Qiang’s opinion?"

"I asked him, and he has no objections. I’m thinking of buying a house for Xiao Qiang in the Capital. If we actually come back in the future, we siblings can still be together."

"Hmm, that’s a good idea. Houses in the Capital will definitely be valuable in the future."

"Alright, I’ll go talk to Old Yang, but Old Han has to show up, right?"

"Indeed, Old Han helped me buy this house, and I have to prepare two more sets. Plus, there are two little ones."

"Haha, if you buy, I’ll buy too." At this, Zhao Xiaoli’s earlier gloomy mood faded away.

Shi Xian was causing trouble with his older brother and sister, but the three of them had gotten used to him. They just let him be, with one exception—they absolutely wouldn’t let him reach the books.

"I’ll take you out for dinner tonight," Han Xiangjun said with a smile.

"Great, Shi Jing still remembers roast duck."

"That’s no big deal at all. Chaoyang, go reserve a large table and order ten roast ducks."

"Alrighty." Chaoyang turned and left.

"How is it? Does it work well?"

"Xiao Wei’s taste is still pretty good. Although not very clever, he’s obedient and loyal."

"Teach him more things."

"Not an issue. I quite like this young man."

Guodong and the other two got on the train. They didn’t manage to get a sleeper berth, and after walking around twice, finally found a spot.

"Sister-in-law, you sit."

"Jing Chu, you sit."

Both spoke at the same time and laughed after they finished.

"Jing Chu, you sit. You two switch from time to time."

"Brother, take the food tickets and ask, even if there’s just one sleeper berth available, that’s fine."

Jing Chu once heard Aunt Jiang say that during her first business trip, she got a sleeper by exchanging food tickets, so that’s why she suggested it.

"Is it possible?" Li Xue asked.

"I’ll give it a try; it’ll be great if it works. If not, we can head to the dining car later."

Guodong was a bit embarrassed. But since it was his wife and his sister, he didn’t want either to go, so he went himself.

"Sister-in-law, sit on my lap."

"I’m not tired, really not tired." Li Xue, being a shy young girl, couldn’t imagine sitting on someone’s lap in public, even though they were all girls; it just wouldn’t do.

Guodong held five pounds of food tickets, thinking it might not be enough.

He found a middle-aged female attendant. Guodong took a deep breath, "Sister, I need your help with something."

Guodong had a pleasing look and calling her "sister" made the attendant very happy.

"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Sister, we’re going to T City but have no seats. I have my fiancée and sister with me. It’ll take several days to get there; can you help us find a sleeper ticket?"

"Wait a moment, I’ll go check."

Guodong was quite anxious, unsure if it would work.

Soon enough, the attendant returned, "Comrade, there’s a compartment, but you need to pay additional fees."

"Thank you, thank you so much, Sister. You’re such a good person, a good person serving the people."

The attendant chuckled aloud, "You three need to pay an additional nine yuan six."

Guodong quickly took out the money, and she handed him three tickets. "I’ll wait here for you. Hurry up, I’ll take you to the compartment."

"Thank you, Sister, thank you."

Jing Chu and Li Xue were happy when they learned Guodong had secured sleeper tickets. The three carried their luggage and squeezed past.

The female comrade warmly led them to the compartment.

The three thanked her profusely, sending off this benefactor.

They rushed to pull out their bed sheets. Jing Chu chose the upper berth.

"Brother, how many food tickets did you give her?"

Guodong paused, "I forgot to give them."

"Didn’t expect you to have that skill. Aunt Jiang said back then she had to give five pounds of food tickets to get a sleeper, but you managed without them. You’re really something, Brother."

"Haha, we happened upon a good person, plus I had prepared five pounds of food tickets, but in excitement, I forgot."

"Haha, forgetting is still good; saved five pounds of food tickets."

Now the three were spared discomfort. A sleeper is indeed better.

"Brother, let’s have you do this again next time."

"Sure, next time I won’t forget."

Li Xue stood by with a smile, listening. Her partner was that impressive.

Guodong saw the admiration in Li Xue’s eyes, his eyes sparkled, but he took no further action. Knowing his wife is shy, and with his sister around, he wouldn’t set a bad example.

Lv Beiguang wore a big smile after receiving a call in the morning.

Sun Baosheng saw this and was curious, "What happy event makes you smile like an idiot?"

"Guodong, his wife, and Jing Chu, the three, are back. They’ll be taking the train from the Capital in the afternoon."

"Ah, that explains it. What could make you that happy? When the kids return, I’ll treat them to dinner."

"Alright."

"Director Sun, Jiang Xinyu is back too, but she’s not coming together. She has things to do in the Capital, so she’ll back soon."

"Haha, Xiao Jiang is finally back. Let me know when, we should have a gathering."

Sun Baosheng remembers clearly the girl who stood alone facing the Russian soldiers’ guns, bowing to persuade them to release several people here. So he genuinely liked Jiang Xinyu.

"Mm, when Xinyu returns, we must gather."

"I can’t wait any longer; I have to call Ding Shihong and ask him to prepare some food."

"Why hurry? They’re taking the train in the afternoon, aren’t they?"

"Early preparation is good. Keep some tasty food ready."

"Tell him Jiang Xinyu is coming back; he’ll fetch even more goodies. He has quite a stash."

Lv Beiguang excitedly went back to call.

Ding Shihong readily agreed, "No problem. My nephew’s coming with his wife; I’d fetch something nice even if I didn’t have it."

"Brother Ding, get more; Xinyu will return soon. She’s busy at the Capital, but she’ll definitely come back afterwards."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Haha, that’s great. Don’t worry, all the good stuff will be saved."

Lv Beiguang hung up with Ding Shihong and dialed She Xiaoyun next.

She Xiaoyun was surprised to receive Lv Beiguang’s call, as he rarely calls.

"Secretary She, Xinyu arrived in the Capital last night, and will return soon."

"Really?"

"Really, Jing Chu and Guodong came back with her, but she has errands first and will come later."

"Finally back. Let me know beforehand."

"Okay, I’ll call you once I get the news."

Then he called Hao Shichao and others one by one.

Everyone was quite happy because Jiang Xinyu left too abruptly back then, luckily managed to meet once before she left.
