Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 570: 570 Practical

After sending them off, Jiang Xinyu returned to the room and took out lots of food from her space. She also gathered some packed luggage.

Feeling it was still not enough, she took out a bag of rice and plenty of seafood. Of course, there was also a bicycle.

Old Yang arrived at seven thirty. Seeing the room full of things, he didn’t ask any questions. He filled up the car and drove away.

”Xiao Jiang, have you eaten?”

”I have, luckily you brought pancakes yesterday. We went for breakfast just after six, but the place wasn’t open at all.”

”Hahaha, here the earliest is eight, we only have two meals a day. You’ll get used to it.”

”Will we catch up with them?”

”I’m taking a different route, don’t worry. We’ll get to the village in an hour and a half.”

”Finally, I’m too excited. I can finally see the two kids.”

”They’re all doing well, don’t worry.”

”The conditions here are just like this. It could only get so good—two kids raised like that, the difference is huge, I’m worried they won’t adapt.”

”I think they’re adapting well. They practice all day so their health is good, they haven’t been sick.”

”Master Yang, thank you so much. Thankfully you’re here, or I wouldn’t know what to do.

At that time, I made a big decision to send the two kids out.

If it weren’t for you, I probably would have sent them to where I went to college. At least they’d be familiar with it.”

”Xiao Jiang, is it really that scary?”

”What to say? I was just scared, prepared early. At that time, I was a mess inside; not knowing when I could get out, I thought of sending them here.

If I had known it could be resolved so quickly, I would have sent them to the Capital directly.”

”Hehe, the Capital isn’t safe either. Han Xiangjun also sent Jianbin here. The three kids living together, with Master Shang, are well taken care of.”

”Last time we went to the Capital, Han Xiangjun mentioned sending them over too, didn’t expect he’d be so fast?”

”Hehe, you all send the kids here and don’t come; eventually, the three kids will be close to me. I’m not planning to have a family this life anyhow, this is good, no fear of lacking anyone to send me off when I’m old.”

”You’re taking advantage?”

”Yeah, it’s a big advantage.”

The two chatted about the children’s past on the way, and Jiang Xinyu had the urge to cry.

Not being by the children’s side for these months, she felt very guilty.

Wei Kaiyun and their party were on a horse-drawn cart, and within half an hour were frozen through.

Wei Kaiyun was doing a bit better than them. Although all three wore the hats Jiang Xinyu prepared, the frost had already formed on their eyebrows.

”It’s really too cold,” Wu Bin said as he got off the cart. ”I can’t take it, I need to walk; sitting up there is too much suffering.”

Yang Guoqiang also got off with him. The two walked behind the cart, climbing back up when tired.

They could do that, but Wei Kaiyun couldn’t. Luckily, his wife dressed him warmly; otherwise, he’d surely suffer.

”Haha, you’re feeling cold now?” the old man driving the cart laughed and said.

”Old man, aren’t you cold? Is it going to be even colder?”

”It’s not the coldest yet, just you wait till the third nine-day period. During that time, if you throw water, it’ll instantly freeze.”

”Old man, it’s really that cold?”

”Really, that’s why hardly anyone gets up at seven here. That lady probably didn’t know about this.”

”Yeah, if Xiao Jiang knew, he definitely wouldn’t have been up so early. It’s really too cold, lucky he didn’t sit on the cart.”

Wei Kaiyun sat on the cart with his head down, not saying a word. He didn’t speak much on the journey, and Wu Yangyang was already used to it.

But the old man driving the cart didn’t know this, so he kept asking him things.

Whenever the old man asked, Wei Kaiyun would reply but never said anything extra.

He was also cold but definitely not as cold as them.

The cart took two and a half hours to reach the township.

Wei Kaiyun got off too, supporting himself with crutches, following the two in front. The old man went to find hot water; he needed to water the horses, and importantly the two young men needed to return with him.

The work handover was very quick. The township person in charge was very welcoming, offering them tea.

Wei Kaiyun stood there with his crutches, watching his own files being left behind, exchanging pleasantries with them.

”Mr. Peng, please look after Wei Kaiyun from now on.”

”Mr. Yang, don’t worry, he won’t have work this winter; let’s wait until spring.”

”Understood, we’ll take our leave then—I need to make a call.”

”Sure, I’ll take you to the leader’s office to make the call.”

Wu Bin stayed behind. ”Director Wei, why don’t you sit down?”

”Thank you, Mr. Wu, but just call me Wei Kaiyun.”

”We’ll head back once we get you settled here.”

”Alright, thank you for taking care of me along the way.”

”Haha, that credit goes to Xiao Jiang. From you, I realized one should always be kind to others. Isn’t this the kindest thing—without it, you might not have come through this alive.”

Wei Kaiyun nodded, ”Yes, being kind to others.”

Soon, Yang Guoqiang returned, and after a few more polite exchanges, they left.

Wei Kaiyun, using crutches, saw them off.

When it was just him and Peng Chong left, Peng Chong quickly brewed some sweet water for him. ”Mr. Wei, warm yourself up quickly.”

”Thank you.”

”No need to thank me—Brother Yang was very good to me, and since you’re his friend, of course, I’ll treat you well.

But the people from the village might not come to pick you up until the afternoon, so just stay inside. It’s quite warm here.”

The two chatted off and on, and by noon, they hadn’t had lunch, but Wei Kaiyun felt much better after two bowls of sweet water.

When two o’clock came, Peng Chong went to eat, returning with two steamed cornbreads which he heated by the stove. Wei Kaiyun ate them all.

Almost four o’clock arrived when Old Yang drove over, and Village Chief Li Yungui came along.

He arrived at Peng Chong’s office, completed the handover, and Old Yang chatted with Peng Chong with a smile.

Once all the formalities were done, the three set off in the car.

”Xiao Wei, you’ve had it tough.”

”Old Yang, I haven’t had it tough this journey.”

”It’s all arranged, you’ll stay with Niang San; she has a spacious house and a spare room,” Old Yang said with a smile.

”Thank you.”

”No need to thank me, just thank Village Chief Li.”

”Village Chief Li, thank you for your care.”

”Don’t mention it, with Old Yang around, you’ll be well taken care of.”
