Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Preparations

Spent a dollar, they delivered it to the house.

"Comrade, I’d like to buy honeycomb briquettes. Do you have time?"

"Yes, do you have a coal ticket? The supply of honeycomb briquettes and coal balls is really tight."

"I do. Could you help to run an errand?"

"No problem." Earning money is always good.

"Xiao Li, just stay at home. I’ll go buy a load of honeycomb briquettes and coal balls; we’ll need quite a lot."

"Alright, Xinyu, be careful."

Zhao Xiaoli sighed inwardly, feeling useless at everything, even consuming without leaving anything behind. Others are wives and mothers, but what about herself?

Jiang Xinyu thinks of everything at home, gets prepared in advance, while she knows nothing.

On the way, Jiang Xinyu was sitting on the tricycle, feeling really bittersweet; the winter in the capital isn’t as cold as in the Northeast, but it’s still cold.

Showed the coal ticket to buy a load of honeycomb briquettes.

"Comrade, let’s first take it home, and then come back for a load of coal balls."

The tricycle rider was definitely willing, he would earn another trip.

When they arrived home, Shang Zhenkun came out to help unload the truck.

"Master Shang, the two of us can do it."

"I don’t mind. Doing some work and sweating a bit feels good."

While the three worked, the two chatted.

"I don’t know if Old Han knows of any nearby hot springs. Master Shang, you may enjoy soaking in hot springs?"

"I did when I was young."

"I’ll ask Old Han if we should go as a family for a few days. After all, we’re out, and if we can find one, it’d be great."

Enjoyment is certainly the best. Besides, soaking in hot springs is good in winter.

In the previous life, soaked once, it was organized by the class, and was laughed at by classmates for a long time.

Because she was the only one without a swimsuit and didn’t want to rent one, went down in her thermals, which was disliked by classmates.

A tricycle of honeycomb briquettes is about five hundred pieces, the three finished in half an hour.

"Master Shang, I’ll go again, buy a load of coal balls."

On the way, the two chatted, and Jiang Xinyu could also buy some firewood.

But this would be in the afternoon; he had to go home to eat.

"Comrade, you can wait at home directly, I’ll go and haul it for you."

"Big brother, it’s fine. I’ll go with you. If they sell more, I can buy a bit more."

Coal balls were directly packed into burlap sacks. Spent an extra dollar, but it was cleaner. Spending more was alright.

After unloading the truck, "Comrade, how much do I owe you?"

"Two trips, two dollars."

Jiang Xinyu noticed his hesitating look, roughly understanding he wanted more money because he helped with the work, but was embarrassed to ask.

She took out three dollars, "This is to thank you for your help. Come see me after two in the afternoon, and we’ll go together."

"Thanks, comrade, I’ll be there by two."

It was already past eleven o’clock, and no one who went out had returned.

"Let’s not worry about them, we’ll make dumplings ourselves. Probably they’ll eat outside."

Just as she said this, Wei Kaiyun returned, bringing back quite a few packages.

"Xinyu, the kids want to eat the Eight Great Bowls, I came to get you."

Seeing his wife’s dirty hands, he knew she went to buy coal.

"I could have gone?"

"It’s alright, I hired a tricycle, and he helped with the work."

The family tidied up, Jiang Xinyu changed her clothes, and they set off together.

Ah Bao sat obediently in Wei Kaiyun’s arms, this kid could read people very well, behaving around Wei Kaiyun and Dad.

Tingting nestled in Zhang Qiu’e’s arms, the little girl was extremely obedient too.

They arrived at the restaurant, the kids were waiting, except for Old Yang.

Zhao Xiaoli asked Wei Kaiyun, knowing Old Yang went out for business, he’ll be back in the afternoon.

The Eight Great Bowls were all meat dishes. The kids loved it.

Jiang Xinyu also found it particularly delicious, the chef’s skill was really good, the taste was fragrant yet not greasy.

"Mom, Uncle Han said to go watch a movie in the afternoon."

"You all go, Mom will go buy firewood in the afternoon."

"Need our help?"

"No need, it’s not tiring."

"Old Han, take the four bigger ones to watch a movie, I’ll help Xinyu with the firewood."

"Alright, Shi Xian with me is fine."

Jiang Xinyu asked Zhao Xiaoli, "Not going to watch a movie?" Young people usually like movies.

"I’m waiting for Old Yang to take me to the movies." Zhao Xiaoli said with a smile.

Shi Xian found it quite difficult. Parents were leaving, but finally didn’t go back together. Of course, Feifei also tugged Shang Zhenkun along.

Returned home almost one o’clock, the couple lay on the bed to rest.

"In the future, there’s me for these things."

"Today I just happened to think of it when I came across the tricycle."

"Couldn’t you have waited for me?"

"It’s not that tiring."

At two, he arrived punctually. The three set off together, the couple sat on the tricycle.

Clearly, he was a tidy person. The tricycle was cleaned over the lunch period.

Actually, the firewood were some old furniture dismantled.

Jiang Xinyu felt it was truly a waste.

Wei Kaiyun understood his wife, and so went to negotiate, bought all the firewood, brought it home to sort through gradually.

The whole afternoon, the couple and the tricycle rider were busy, took five trips total to finish.

Returning home, Zhao Xiaoli already had Zhang Qiu’e boiling water.

After Jiang Xinyu bathed, Wei Kaiyun sat behind helping to dry her hair.

"Wife, actually these aren’t good materials."

"I think they’re great, we’ll pick some out, even keeping them there won’t be a loss."

"As long as you’re happy, I can get good timber."

"You can prepare dowries for the two daughters."

Wei Kaiyun disliked this topic the most, how could his daughters get married?

Seeing Wei Kaiyun’s expression, Jiang Xinyu knew he was doing it again, it was really too soon to think of these things.

"There’s still hot water, go take a bath."

Really didn’t want to see his long face, quickly sent him off.

Wei Kaiyun obediently went to bathe, Jiang Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, in the future don’t joke about this in front of Wei Kaiyun anymore.

What a joke, your daughters are precious, others’ daughters marrying into your family? Would your son not find a wife in the future?

"Xiao Jiang, what are we having for dinner?" Zhang Qiu’e came in to ask, it’s time to prepare dinner.

"Let’s make porridge. I doubt they’ll eat out at night."

"Rice porridge?"

"Alright, cabbage and tofu stew."

Zhang Qiu’e went to make the meal. Jiang Xinyu kept Ah Bao, this kid was really interesting. Especially good at charming people, unlike Old Yang and Zhao Xiaoli, where did he get that from? A genetic mutation?
