Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

After the three of them got off the bus, the two children seemed a bit anxious. Although Jiang Xinyu used to leave for school or outings, those were environments they were familiar with, so they didn’t worry.

But here, the two children were still very dependent on Jiang Xinyu.

The three of them saw the main door slightly ajar and felt relieved.

Jiang Xinyu was preparing bathwater, having just gotten home herself about ten minutes earlier.

Hearing the knock on the door, she opened it with a smile and led the two children inside by the hand.

”Shi Jing, Feifei, did you enjoy the food at the restaurant?”

”Mm, Mom, I love the roast chicken. It was so delicious.”

”Oh? I’m glad Shi Jing enjoyed it. I’ll take you again next time. How about you, Feifei? What do you like?”

”Mom, I like everything. Today’s lunch was delicious—we even had tomatoes.”

”We’ll plant our own next year, then you can eat as much as you like.”

Wei Kaiyun took over the task from his wife, starting with bathing the two kids. He wanted to bathe his son but was mercilessly rejected. His daughter didn’t even look at him, so he crouched in the shade and washed their clothes and shoes.

Jiang Xinyu watched his servant-like behavior and found it quite unappealing to the eyes.

Once the two children were lying on the heated bed, under the electric fan, Jiang Xinyu went to take a bath herself.

Since there was only one electric fan, the family slept together today at noon.

The two children fell asleep quickly, and seeing that his wife hadn’t returned yet, Wei Kaiyun hurriedly went to the bathroom.

In the end, Jiang Xinyu pinched him a few times. ”Wei Kaiyun, are you done yet? I need to rest.”

Jiang Xinyu was eventually carried inside by Wei Kaiyun and laid beside the two kids. ”Honey, you rest. I’ll go do the laundry. It’ll be quick.”

The clothes weren’t very dirty; they just needed a rinse to remove the sweat.

After his bath, he returned to the room and looked at his three sleeping family members with a contented smile.

He lay down beside them, feeling it was the happiest moment of his life.

The two children woke up at three in the afternoon. Jiang Xinyu was still a bit groggy, having only fallen asleep around two-thirty.

Though she hadn’t woken up, Wei Kaiyun was full of energy, reading picture books with the kids in the house.

At three-thirty, Jiang Xinyu finally got up and joined the children in reading books.

”Honey, let’s not cook. I’ll get something to eat from the restaurant. It’s too hot.”

”Let’s just have cold noodles for the four of us. I bought some noodles, so it’ll be quick.”

Wei Kaiyun was in charge of cooking the noodles, while Jiang Xinyu prepared the sauce. They had no ingredients at home, so Wei Kaiyun went to the restaurant to fetch eggs and tomatoes.

After eating, the two children played for a while before the family of four snuggled back on the heated bed.

Jiang Xinyu wouldn’t have wanted to go to the Capital if it weren’t for needing to register the kids’ household information.

There were already students starting to show intense emotions, stirred by certain individuals. It was quite unsafe there.

At seven-thirty, Wei Kaiyun packed the luggage, and by eight o’clock, Lu Weiqi drove over.

Seeing Jiang Xinyu smiling and greeting, Lu Weiqi immediately understood that Director Jiang had returned, which explained Director Wei’s vacation.

But when he saw the two children, Lu Weiqi was taken aback. The little boy looked somewhat like Director Wei, and the little girl also bore resemblances to the couple.

”Shi Jing, Feifei, this is your Uncle Lu.”

The two children politely greeted him and then watched their father pack the luggage.

Lu Weiqi stood stunned for a moment before realizing the situation.

He hadn’t expected the couple to have children this big, and two of them at that.

He wanted to say something but didn’t know what.

At eight-thirty, they reached the station, and Lu Weiqi helped them carry the luggage to the platform.

”Thank you, Secretary Lu, you go back and rest now,” Jiang Xinyu said.

”I’ll wait until you board the train, Director Wei, and then I’ll leave. Let me help carry the luggage on board.”

”That works. Xinyu, Secretary Lu is getting married on October 1st.”

”Congratulations, Secretary Lu.”

”Director Jiang, you’re too kind. If you have time, please come to the wedding banquet.” A secretary should know what their leader needs.

”I’m sorry, but I probably won’t be able to make it. I can’t leave the two kids at home alone.

However, I’ll bring back a set of enamelware as a wedding gift for Secretary Lu.”

The train was ten minutes late, and the platform was already crowded. Fortunately, Wei Kaiyun had checked where their train compartment would be; otherwise, they’d have had to squeeze through the crowd.

Lu Weiqi and Wei Kaiyun first boarded the train, found the compartment, and only then carried the luggage up. The main challenge was the heavy electric fan; the other three bags were relatively light.

Once settled, Lu Weiqi got off the train. As he drove back, his mind was filled with thoughts of the cute and obedient kids.

He’d heard the rumors about Director Wei, but knowing Director Jiang made him disbelieve them.

Now, seeing they even had children made those rumors even less credible.

However, Director Wei’s two children were truly adorable, especially the little girl; he wished he could take her home and raise her himself.

Lu Weiqi realized he’d discovered Director Wei’s big secret. But he knew he’d never reveal it, not even to his wife or family.

After settling in, Jiang Xinyu instructed the children to sleep while she fanned her daughter and Wei Kaiyun fanned their son.

Once the train picked up speed, it felt much cooler.

”Honey, you should sleep too. It’ll be the day after tomorrow afternoon before we arrive.”

”Mm, do you think it’s chaotic in the Capital now?”

”It shouldn’t affect us too much; don’t worry.”

Jiang Xinyu found it hard not to worry, but Wei Kaiyun knew the situation over there better than she did.

He didn’t go up but carried his son to the upper berth and then lay down with Jiang Xinyu on the lower berth.

”It’s so hot.”

”Honey, I have something to tell you.”

Jiang Xinyu looked up at him.

”I’ve already made the worst-case plan. Old Yang has arranged something for me. Several reliable assistants of the person in question have been demoted. I shouldn’t be on the list, but I can’t rule out special circumstances.”

Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang were actually making money for that person behind the scenes; it’s just that they weren’t on the surface, so they hadn’t been implicated yet.

”Got it. In that case, I’d better stay in T City. Today, Zhu Peishan asked me if I had any ideas, and I said I’d follow the arrangements from above. But I also mentioned wanting to repay T City Textile Factory for its nurturing all these years.”

”Mm, you’ll be safer there.” Saying this, Wei Kaiyun let go of Jiang Xinyu, pulled out his bag, and took out a thick stack of papers.

”These document what happened in T City, mostly concerning Kong Demin. Have a look so you’re aware.”
