Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Opportunity

This place doesn’t have a scale either. Jing Chu, seeing how genuine this guy was, went ahead and paid.

Chaoyang went over, picked it up, and put it in his own carrying basket.

”Chaoyang, let me take it.” Guodong wanted to take it, but Chaoyang refused. ”We’re probably going to buy more later. I can carry this.”

”Li Xue, don’t you have anything you want to buy?”

”I don’t know. I haven’t found anything I like yet.”

”Come on, this is not a supply and marketing cooperative. There’s nothing good here.”

”But I really don’t know what to buy.”

This time they walked all the way to the end and found a place selling livestock. Jing Chu pulled Li Xue over.

”What do you want to buy?”

”Buy a sheep. But there’s no place to put it at home. I’m just here to ask around.”

”Could you actually raise one?”

”The day we came here, the village chief went to the township to apply for raising sheep. I suppose it’s possible?”

”Teacher Jiang’s place is so clean. There’s nowhere to keep sheep. Where would you put it if you bought one?”

Jing Chu sighed, ”Yeah, there’s no place to keep it.”

Chaoyang nudged Guodong from behind, ”If you want to buy one, you can keep it in my backyard. I can help feed it.”

Jing Chu looked back at Chaoyang. ”No need. There’s no place to keep it at home. I’m just curious and wanted to ask. Shall we head back?”

”No rush. Red Army and the others haven’t had their fun yet.”

”There’s really nothing to see. I wanted to buy something for Feifei. But there’s nothing she needs.”

”What do you want to buy for Feifei?” Li Xue asked curiously.

”Feifei likes books, paintings, and antiques. They’re not sold here. I’ll wait for another opportunity later.”

”Little girl, little girl.” An old lady called out.

Jing Chu turned her head slightly to look, ”Old lady, are you calling me?”

”Yes, girl, you said you wanted to buy books and paintings. I have some at home, do you want to take a look?”

Jing Chu was taken aback. ”Where is your home?”

”My house isn’t far from here. Do you want to take a look?”

”What kind of books do you have?” Jing Chu was tempted. She had been to Feifei’s study before, which had a lot of collections. Just entering gives a sense of antiquity.

”Someone like me, who can’t even recognize a single character, how would I know what kind of books they are? But I have seen the paintings. There are landscapes and flowers and birds. They look almost real.

Keeping these at home is useless for us who can’t read, so why not exchange them for some spending money?”

Jing Chu looked at Guodong, her eyes asking if he wanted to go.

”Sure, old lady, lead the way. If it’s too far, we won’t go.”

”It’s not far, just in Han Family Village. Come on, would an old lady like me trick you?”

”Alright then, but we have to wait here for our younger brothers. It’s on the way anyway. Let’s go home together.”

Yang Zhongyi, who had been listening on the side, thought the little girl had a good sense of precaution. She didn’t get carried away and knew to ask her brother for his opinion instead of agreeing on her own.

Judging by her accent, she’s an educated youth from the countryside. Probably from T City, which isn’t close by.

The four of them walked behind the old lady, and because there were many people, they walked very slowly.

Halfway there, they found Red Army and the others, each holding a skewer of candied hawthorn, with Red Army holding four extra skewers, probably for the four of them.

”Second brother, here’s one skewer for each of you four. These hawthorns are too sour. There’s not enough sugar. Can this even be called candied hawthorn?” Red Army complained as he ate.

Chaoyang took it and handed the ones with a bit more sugar to Jing Chu and Li Xue.

Jing Chu hesitantly took it. She didn’t like sour things and hadn’t even tasted it when she felt a sour taste in her mouth.

Guodong, knowing his sister’s preferences, said, ”Just hold onto it. If someone else wants to eat it, give it to them.”

”What’s wrong?” Chaoyang asked.

”Jing Chu doesn’t eat sour things.”

Chaoyang remembered this, and although he knew he didn’t have a chance, he still wanted to be good to her.

After Cheng Lin finished eating, he threw away the bamboo skewer, and Jing Chu asked if he wanted hers.

”Sure, I love them. Sister Jing Chu, you don’t find these delicious?”

”I can’t handle sour things, so it’s yours.”

”Then you must like sweet things.” Cheng Lin said as he took it and continued eating.

”Yes, I like sweet and fragrant things, not sour or bitter ones.”

”You guys keep up, let’s go buy some things.”

All the kids nodded, assuring they wouldn’t get lost.

Yang Zhongyi followed slowly behind them, listening to their chatter and laughter along the way, finding it quite interesting.

”Uncle Wei?”

”Jing Chu? Aren’t you all shopping around?”

Shi Xian ran to Jing Chu’s side, holding her hand.

”Sister Jing Chu, we’ve just got here.”

”Shi Jing, there’s really nothing good here.”

”Yeah, it’s pretty disappointing. Sister Jing Chu, are you planning to go home?”

”No, the old lady up ahead has books and paintings. I want to take a look and, if they’re good, buy some for Feifei.”

”Haha, if my sister finds out, she’ll definitely regret not coming along. I want to go with you too.”

”Aren’t you going to the market anymore?”

”No, there’s nothing I want. I’ll go with you. I know what Feifei likes.”

”Uncle Wei, what do you think?”

”Let’s go. Since they don’t want to shop anymore, let’s all take a look.”

By this time, Han Xiangjun and the others had also come over slowly.

Yang Zhongyi saw Han Xiangjun and was a bit surprised. Why was he here?

Han Xiangjun also saw Yang Zhongyi.

Having no choice, Yang Zhongyi moved closer, ”Brother Han.”

”Hey, you’re here? I was wondering why I haven’t heard from you in a while?”

”I’ve been here for a year. Brother Han, what brings you here?”

”I have a friend here. Let me introduce you; this is my friend Wei Kaiyun.”

Wei Kaiyun immediately understood this person was from the Capital.

The two shook hands, and Yang Zhongyi thought to himself, now he didn’t need to go out of his way to find out who the little girl was — what a coincidence to meet here.

Han Xiangjun knew what Yang Zhongyi was here for, so he just smiled.

”Brother Han, how long are you staying? Let’s get together.”

”I’m staying at a friend’s house. You’re out here today, so you must be on a break. Want to come over and recognize the place?”

Yang Zhongyi suddenly remembered Wei Kaiyun, the one who was sent down here. Not only had he been rehabilitated, but he was also praised and featured in the news.

He immediately smiled and nodded, ”Sure, then I’ll be imposing on Brother Wei.”

Wei Kaiyun smiled and nodded, and turning to Han Xiangjun, said, ”You guys head back first. I’ll go take a look.”

”Brother Wei, I’m curious too. Let’s go together. If there’s a lot, we can help bring them back. Kidding! I just want to get to know the little girl better. How could we not go together now that we’re acquaintances? Maybe we can even have a conversation later?”
