Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 142: 142 Return

Qian Jun was watching from the side, thinking to himself that Jiang Xinyu truly had skills.

Finally, he handed Xingtian a thick envelope, containing reports he submitted.

After seeing off Xingtian, workers from the train department helped load the carriage. The grain-filled carriages had timber, and the rest were distributed across the front fifty carriages.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already midnight. As the train set into motion, Jiang Xinyu unwrapped a candy and placed it in her mouth, also handing one to Qian Jun.

”Sweet and fragrant.”

Qian Jun usually didn’t eat sweets, but since Jiang Xinyu offered it, he didn’t refuse. Placing it in his mouth, it was indeed delightfully sweet, though he felt a bit overwhelmed.

”Why eat candy just now?”

”Because having it at this moment lets you taste the sweetness. Once we get home, it will feel like savoring the fruits of victory.”

Listening to her, Qian Jun thought it made sense.

”By the way, I need to unload a carriage for Old Yang in J City.”

”You’re in contact with Old Yang?”

”Yes, why?”

”It’s nothing, just a bit puzzled.”

Could it be she is in a partnership with Wei Kaiyun?

After five days and nights, they finally reached J City, where Old Yang had been waiting.

They directly delivered a carriage to him, and the timber was shifted forward.

The two of them were alone in a room, ”This batch will be ready to sell when I get back, and I’ll bring money to you then.”

”Alright, I also have a ton of beef, fifty pigs worth of pork, and some sausages.”

”I’ll drive over the day after tomorrow, you can share half with me.

I won’t consider your price, I’ll pay as per the local prices here.”

”Okay, still using a truck?”

”Yes, also I can spare you some wheat.”

”Alright, we should be arriving around the same time.”

Old Yang immediately arranged five vehicles to transport everything, switching to cash that evening and left with six drivers and three cars.

This girl really does have skills; once again, marvelling at Wei Kaiyun’s luck.

Qian Jun watched as a cheerful Jiang Xinyu returned and asked, ”How much are you planning for the wheat when we return?”

”Five cents.”

”Yes, that’s a good price.”

”Then I’ll share some with Mr. Qian.”

”No need, the reward from above is bigger for me than for you.”

”Haha, then I won’t be polite. But I’ll treat you to meat when we return.”

”Sure, that’ll be nice.”

”Let’s take the meat to the suburb place I like for dinner, I love the big brother’s cooking there.”

”Jiang Xinyu, your gratitude isn’t sincere, I thought you were going to cook yourself.”

”Haha, that’s not really convenient. But I can make beef stew, I’ll send you ten pounds before the New Year.”

”Then I won’t hold back.”

Taking advantage of the station inspection opportunities, Jiang Xinyu asked the staff and made a call to Song Qingqing, asking her to let Wang Ailing come to the phone, arranging to call again in twenty minutes.

”Sis, I’ll be home in a week, notify She Xiaoyun, you can have the elder uncle and them wait at the station too.”

”Okay, I got it. Xinyu, are you alright? Is everything going smoothly?”

”Don’t worry, everything is fine.”

Wang Ailing hung up, hurriedly rode to the supply and marketing cooperative to notify She Xiaoyun. Tomorrow, she could go home after her night shift.

”Sister She, Xinyu called. She’ll be home in a week. You guys should make arrangements. By the way, can you come to our village on that day? Can you join them?”

”No problem, just have the fellow villagers wait beside the station.”

”Great, I’ll take a leave that day and bring them to you.”

The next day, after finishing the night shift, she directly rode home. Having worked overnight, she wasn’t feeling tired, finally relieved.

Back home, she gave instructions, then went to sleep. Sun Ermei worried for her daughter, seeing her working non-stop.

Wang Jianqiang and Wang Xiaolong went around notifying everyone.

In the afternoon, Kong Zhongyou came over. ”Jianqiang, shall we drive two cattle carts over?”

”Sure, let’s go a day early to avoid keeping them waiting.”

”Alright.”

Wang Ailing didn’t wake up until three in the afternoon. Her sister-in-law made dumplings for her, and she ate her fill before riding to work.

Qian Jun spent every moment with Jiang Xinyu except when sleeping, even if they weren’t talking, just reading together.

A week later, they arrived at the county station at four in the afternoon.

Everyone was there waiting, even Old Yang showed up; the drivers switched places, but the cars didn’t stop.

Hao Shichao had long informed Liang Youfa, anticipating wood this time, so the furniture factory had prepared accordingly.

Yao Shimin personally drove with the textile factory manager from the Provincial City to meet them.

Jiang Xinyu disembarked, all acquaintances quickly gathered around.

”Xinyu, thank heavens you’re back safely.”

”Thank you, Sister She.

You’re all here at the right time; I’ll give you fifteen tons, unload it yourselves.”

They had arrangements in place long ago, trucks were already waiting.

”Elder uncle, village chief, I’ll give you six thousand pounds; just the four of you won’t be able to take it back.”

”So much?”

”Thanks to the textile factory, expenses were lower on the way.”

”Good, we’ll take two carts back first and return later; but where should we store it?”

Old Yang came over, ”I’ll lend you a vehicle, it can hold five tons.”

Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, ”Thank you, Master Yang. Please help find workers to unload.”

”I’ve already arranged that.”

By ten at night, the village’s carts were loaded, Liu Jianqiang traveled by car, while the rest returned with cattle carts. Wang Ailing bought twenty big steamed buns from the canteen.

Hao Shichao’s side moved even faster, all was hauled away by twelve o’clock. The furniture factory arranged for timber load next morning, charging the factory ten thousand for seven thousand in pine timber.

Understanding the situation, Liang Youfa paid Jiang Xinyu in the afternoon.

”Director Jiang, thank you so much, I’ll send you a set of furniture before the New Year.”

”I won’t be polite then.”

Six tons of meat were left, which Old Yang had directly loaded onto a truck and taken to his estate.

Thirteen tons of wheat remained; Jiang Xinyu planned to keep a ton, and two trucks were needed for the rest. But it required waiting for the vehicle’s return.

By afternoon, Jiang Xinyu settled the transport fees, only costing a thousand pounds of wheat and eight hundred yuan.

Old Yang waited here. Yao Shimin drove Jiang Xinyu home.

Loaded with big and small bags, filled a vehicle. ”Director Jiang, quite a harvest again this time, huh?”

”Haha, not bad; profit and risk come hand in hand.”

Back home, not doing anything, hurried to boil water for a bath, too tired and cold. Standing on the platform for over three hours; this January weather was quite unbearable.

Came morning once Jiang Xinyu was done tidying up. Lacking the energy to cook, she directly had a bowl of beef noodles and fell asleep, still feeling the rocking of the train in her dreams.
