Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 839: 839 Arrangements

Shuanzi was left behind here, and Wei Kaiyun familiarized him with the process and the person in charge. The money was handed to Shuanzi, but the young man directly delivered it to the finance office of the chemical plant.

Having so much money on hand was not reassuring. It wasn’t his own, and minimizing risk was a good thing.

After spending two days and one night here, Wei Kaiyun and his group boarded the southbound train.

The young men all knew they would be returning one by one, so they were not so averse to taking the train. This time, they still bought four sleeper tickets. There was no way around it; without familiar contacts here, even if they wanted to buy more, no one would sell them.

Moreover, they weren’t in the same compartment this time. Having no choice, Wei Kaiyun had to give some money to make an adjustment since the three children were too young, and he didn’t feel at ease leaving them in a place out of sight.

Jiang Feifei was quite happy because she received something nice.

”Daughter, what’s making you so happy? Share it with Dad?” Wei Kaiyun lay sideways beside his daughter, smiling as he asked.

”Dad, look, I found this book at the recycling station.”

”Is my daughter really happy because of this?”

”Yes. They’re all good books.”

”Good girl, can you understand them?”

”Not completely yet, but I can read them slowly. I’ll understand them in the future.”

”That’s great. My daughter will certainly become a talented woman someday.”

Jiang Feifei felt a bit overwhelmed, listening to her dad, feeling great pressure since she really didn’t have the ambition to become a talented woman.

The two little brothers were much simpler; the two of them were looking at a picture book together. They occasionally discussed it. When they were happy, they laughed heartily, and when they were upset, they shouted loudly.

Old Yang watched this scene with envy in his heart. It would be a few more years before he could have such an opportunity.

He thought of his wife, wondering what she was doing now. He had already told Wang Shu she didn’t need to work anymore, and having Sister-in-law Wu at home would suffice.

Zhao Xiaoli, just as Old Yang thought, was at home reading a book. However, she was quite happy in this way. She was inherently a quiet woman who could sit still at home.

Every day being with her brother, Guodong, and Jing Chu was pretty comfortable. Going to Jiang Xinyu’s place might feel awkward instead.

There was someone to care for her here, too. In fact, in her situation, in the village, she would have to do all sorts of chores. The best she could hope for was a few good bites of food, and she definitely couldn’t expect any delicacies; it just wasn’t possible. And even if there were, it wouldn’t be given to a woman.

”Xiao Li, what do you want for lunch?”

”Sister-in-law Wu, I’ve been craving dumplings. Let’s make them together, and when Xiao Qiang and the others come back, they’ll surely be happy.”

The ten-year-old brother now had to work every day without missing a single day.

”Alright, we still have smoked meat left, and we can chop up a napa cabbage and make dumplings.”

The white flour and rice at home were rationed carefully, so Sister-in-law Wu wasn’t worried.

These were the days of a good family. They could eat refined grains freely. Plus, eggs and meat were always available.

While the two were making dumplings, Chen Hui came running.

”Zhao Zhiqing, Xiaojuan isn’t feeling well.” Chen Hui said and immediately noticed that there was no car in the yard.

”Mr. Yang isn’t home?”

”Mr. Chen, Old Yang has gone out, and the vehicle is with Jiang Xinyu in Li Family Village.”

Chen Hui grew anxious. What now? The barefoot doctor in the village had looked at her and said nothing except that she was due.

”Mr. Chen, you know Jiang Xinyu’s family, right? Why don’t you ride your bike to find them? Jiang Xinyu can drive and bring Ding Zhiqng here?”

Chen Hui had no choice. His wife was important. But he thought that cycling to Li Family Village would still take some time.

”Zhao Zhiqing, I’ll go find the village chief first and see if I can get a ride to the county. If not, I’ll borrow a bicycle and take her that way.”

Zhao Xiaoli nodded, ”Sure, you can take the bike.”

It wasn’t a good time to ask too many questions; people were really anxious.

Chen Hui found Wang Shulin, who agreed to let him use the village’s horse cart. After all, this was no trivial matter. The villagers and the youths already had some tension; they couldn’t let this matter cause more dissatisfaction among the youths.

After Chen Hui left, Zhao Xiaoli and Sister-in-law Wu continued making dumplings.

”Xiao Li, you should also get a checkup at the hospital.”

”Hmm, should I go along with Chen Hui and the others?”

Zhao Xiaoli thought for a moment and continued, ”Let’s forget it for now. Ding Xiaojuan and the others are in a hurry; whether I go a few days earlier or later doesn’t make a difference.”

”Xiao Li, since we have the means, you should ride over. It’s safer, and isn’t there someone who can drive?”

”It feels a bit troublesome to bother Jiang Xinyu. She’s already taking care of two kids; it’s quite exhausting.”

”Sigh, there’s no one else who can drive around here.”

”I don’t dare. When Guodong returns, I’ll ask him if Old Yang can teach him in the future.”

Chen Hui let Ding Xiaojuan sit on his lap to minimize the jostling.

”No need; it doesn’t hurt that much. Besides, Uncle Wu drives steadily.”

Chen Hui was genuinely frightened, having married and expecting a child at twenty-five; he was naturally anxious.

”How are you feeling now?”

”Much better than before. Don’t worry; it’s fine.” Ding Xiaojuan whispered in Chen Hui’s ear, ”An elder told me if there’s no bleeding, it’s not a problem.”

”This time we’ll definitely have a thorough check.” Chen Hui was quite scared.

It took about two hours to get from Jin Family Village to the county hospital. Chen Hui thanked Wu Changshun, ”Uncle Wu, we’re going inside.”

”Go, go, I’ll wait here for you.”

It was mealtime, and Chen Hui painfully took out a pound of food tickets and a yuan, giving it to Wu Changshun, ”Uncle Wu, please have lunch. I’m really worried here.”

”Haha, no need, no need; you save it for buying something nice for Ding Zhiqing.”

Chen Hui insisted on giving it to him; it wouldn’t be good to let him go hungry at mealtime.

When they got to the hospital, the doctor was just eating. Nowadays, people were very dedicated; he closed his lunch box and attended to Ding Xiaojuan.

”You often bend or squat, right? You might have pulled something. Rest and take care; it’s nothing serious.”

Chen Hui felt much more at ease hearing this, ”Doctor, since my wife became pregnant, why hasn’t she been well?”

”The nutrition isn’t keeping up. Eat more when you can, but given the conditions here, even if you want better food, it’s not available.

Are you youths sent from the city?”

Chen Hui and Ding Xiaojuan nodded.

”Does your village have cows or sheep? Particularly ones that are producing milk?”

”Doctor, our village has sheep and cows, but I’m not sure if they produce milk.”

”Well, I’ll give you a note. Show it to the village chief. If there’s milk, find a way for your wife to drink two bowls a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.”
