Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Jiang Xinyu quickly called Pan Xiulan after receiving her letter.

”Hello, Deputy Factory Manager’s Office.”

”Secretary Pan, this is Jiang Xinyu.”

”Director Jiang, it’s finally good to hear from you. You haven’t written a letter, so many people are waiting for your reply.”

”Haha, I’ve already replied. I guess it will arrive soon? Congratulations, Secretary Pan.”

”Thank you, Director Jiang.”

”I’m unable to return, sorry about that.”

”I understand, Director Jiang, did you receive the letter I sent you?”

”Yes, I think if you can’t move out, getting a house might be a good idea.”

”They’ve prepared a house for us; after the wedding, we’ll move out.”

”Congratulations, just two more months and you’ll be settled.”

”Director Jiang, are you going to call Mr. Qian?”

”Yes, it’s been quite a while since I last called him.”

”I won’t delay you then, Director Jiang. I’ll write to you if there’s anything.”

After putting down the phone, Jiang Xinyu dialed Qian Jun’s number.

”Hello, this is Qian Jun.”

”Mr. Qian, it’s Jiang Xinyu.”

”Director Jiang, it’s been over three months since your last call.”

”Haha, it’s been busy with studies. Mr. Qian, can you deduct twenty yuan from my salary, and give ten yuan each to Secretary Song and Secretary Pan as a gift.”

”Haha, you are quite generous.”

”After all, they’re friends I’ve worked with.”

”How’s life over there? You’ve been on vacation for a while, right?”

”Yes, it’s been over twenty days. I’m living well; someone like me can adapt anywhere.”

After chatting for a while, they hung up.

Jiang Xinyu hurried home; it was uncomfortable outside. Home is still the best, accompanying the two kids feels particularly satisfying.

Especially the little girl, who is growing so adorable, sitting together every day reading books with mom.

Shi Jing is now learning with Master Shang. The elderly man is truly knowledgeable. When he teaches Shi Jing, they sit nearby, benefiting greatly.

Shang Zhenkun is happy to have two more students; he really likes the little girl. Not sure if she truly understands, but she focuses even more than Shi Jing.

”Master Shang, you’re amazing.” Jiang Xinyu gave a thumbs up.

”It’s nothing; my grandfather was a top scorer. Even during turbulent times, we never abandoned books.”

Jiang Xinyu genuinely admired this. This must be what deep cultural roots are, right?

”Master Shang, when school starts, could you kindly include Feifei in your lessons? You’ve seen her, she doesn’t cry or fuss and loves coming here.”

”Sure, I’ll include Feifei. This little girl is so obedient.”

In the days that followed, Jiang Xinyu gradually let the two kids listen to lessons by themselves, as she also needed to prepare.

Every evening, the family would gather to listen to the radio. Life was extraordinarily tranquil.

”Xiao Jiang, will you be able to return in July two years from now?”

”Yes, Master Shang, is there anything?”

”Nothing, just confirming. By then, Shi Jing will be four years old, and even Feifei will be three, both can formally learn from me.”

”Master Shang, thank you for being willing to teach Feifei.”

Shang Zhenkun truly likes the little girl, believing she is a wise child destined for greatness.

”I like this little girl. As long as they’re learning, I will teach them everything I can.”

In the evening, Jiang Xinyu wrote a letter to Wei Kaiyun, mentioning Master Shang’s words.

August was scorching hot, and they bought two more electric fans, which made a big difference.

Throughout the summer break, she stayed home, unwilling to go out, relying on Bai Hongying for groceries, while Shang Zhenkun took Shi Jing out almost every week.

Shang Zhenkun seems to really like it here, eagerly taking Shi Jing around.

Shi Jing now enjoys going out immensely, but when it rains and he can’t go out, his pitiful eyes make Jiang Xinyu feel sorry for him.

”Feifei, do you see how sad your brother looks?”

The little girl climbed to the edge of the bed and started calling out, attracting Shi Jing’s attention.

Jiang Xinyu burst into laughter, seeing Shi Jing rush over to his sister at the bed’s edge, climbing up quickly.

Both siblings then lay down, engrossed in children’s books.

Meanwhile, Wei Kaiyun was delighted after receiving a letter from his wife, reassured to know the kids were being tutored by someone as competent as Master Shang.

Holding their children’s photos, the adorable little girl couldn’t keep the smile off his face.

His daughter is just too cute, how could she be so likable?

Anther photo showed his wife holding their two kids, who have grown a lot. When he left, Shi Jing wasn’t walking steadily, and Feifei was just a tiny baby lying on the bed.

But looking at them now, they were two beautiful children.

The more he looked, the more he liked them. A sense of pride was overwhelming.

Carefully storing the photos, though unable to see them, he could still witness their growth.

Despite his current difficulties, he remained cheerful each day.

The phone rang, and Wei Kaiyun picked up, ”Hello, Wei Kaiyun.”

”It’s me; I’ve arrived at the Provincial City.”

”Go to my house; the key is still in the usual place.”

”Okay.”

Wei Kaiyun put down the phone, furrowing his brow thinking, why did Old Yang come? Last month received a call from above, the leader was already being monitored, which wasn’t a good sign, having wanted to make a call but knowing he couldn’t act hastily.

After work, he bought some buns and a meal box of fried eggplant from the canteen.

Once home, they started, ”Eat first.”

”Xiao Wei, I came from the Capital. The leader may not be able to free himself.”

Wei Kaiyun frowned, ”Did you see the leader?”

”I did, and he advised caution.”

”And the leader’s son?”

”Gone overseas.”

”Could he manage that?”

”He’s already gone.”

”You came here to say I’m not safe, right?”

”Yes, the tension is palpable between the two sides; be careful.”

”It’s tough for me here, too; what about others?”

”I assume it’s the same for everyone; I haven’t seen anyone.”

”Okay, when are you leaving?”

”Tomorrow morning’s train.”

”Xiao Wei, be careful. You’re on record with the leader, meaning they know about you too. You’ve always been cautious, don’t give them any reason.”

”I understand, you take care too; running back and forth hasn’t caused trouble over there?”

”No, things there are under our control now.”

They had a simple meal, washed up in the courtyard, and talked through the night.
