Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 402: 402 Satisfied

Moreover, there’s Zhao Yanping. When the sisters are together, they look out for each other.

But when her husband just went back and told her, she was really scared.

Zhou Yongbing called each person one by one.

They had known each other for several years, so it was much easier to talk.

”Mr. Zhou.”

”Big Brother, just call me Xiao Bing.”

Zhao Qingxiang went along with it, ”Xiao Bing, my younger sister may have married you, but there are still things I need to say.”

”Go ahead, Big Brother.” Zhou Yongbing was naturally a calm person, always speaking with a smile, which made people like him easily.

”Xiao Bing, we’ve known each other for several years. I’m at ease knowing my sister is living with you.

But my little sister is quite fiery-tempered, so please be patient with her.

If she makes a mistake, don’t get upset, go find her eldest sister, write to us. We’ll persuade her.” It’s truly worrisome, if you get married, you worry about the future. If she doesn’t get married, you worry about her living alone.

”Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t worry. I will treat Xiao Li well, and we’ll be a loving couple for a lifetime.”

On the other side, Sun Yun was also advising Zhao Yanli, as the eldest sister-in-law it was her duty.

”Eldest sister-in-law, I’ll live well. Don’t worry. Besides, by the end of next year, I’ll have a job and be able to replace my mother-in-law at work.”

”That’s wonderful. You should control your temper, be good to Xiao Bing, and also be good to your in-laws,” Second sister-in-law Qi Xue Mei said with a smile.

”By the way, Second Sister-in-law, there’s something else I need to ask you.”

”No need to be formal with me, just tell me what it is.”

”Second Sister-in-law, has the pig at your mom’s place not been slaughtered yet? Can I buy it?”

”You can let your Second Brother make a trip over there later.

The meat over there is hard to buy, but don’t worry, we still have over ten pounds at home, you can take it all.”

”But no need, you should use it to nourish yourself for a little nephew.

If Aunt’s pig can be sold to me, that would be best; we still don’t have meat for the wedding banquet.

Even though we have meat coupons every month. Sometimes even with a coupon, you can’t buy meat.”

”It’s fine, my mom’s place has two pigs. We didn’t slaughter them last year, planning to do it this spring.

But my little sister-in-law is quite lucky. It’s just that you can use it now.”

This made everyone laugh.

Only Zhao Xiaojing was not very happy, she felt she was much better than her fiery-tempered younger sister.

But her sister not only found someone from the city, she also will have a formal job in the future. Not like a formal farm job.

Thinking about it made her envious. She also wanted a life like that. Living in the city is so much better.

She was unwilling in her heart, so it showed a bit on her face.

Zhao Yanli understood what kind of person her Second Sister was and didn’t want to bother with her.

The two sisters-in-law wouldn’t say much, knowing the younger sister-in-law was a narrow-minded person.

The four of them were working quite fast.

Zhao Qingjie was peeling several heads of garlic on the side. For sauerkraut dumplings, without garlic, they wouldn’t taste right.

Sun Yun also fried a plate of peanuts and a plate of scrambled eggs.

But there was no alcohol. They came here in a hurry, both brothers had brewed wine at home but forgot to bring it.

Xu Hongbing didn’t drink, so that was it.

These sauerkraut dumplings had a lot of fatty meat, it was saved by Zhao Yanli. Originally planned for when the spring planting was tiring.

Dumplings with more oil, of course, taste better. Even Xiao Ling and the others loved it.

”Eldest sister-in-law, you’re staying over for dinner tonight, I’ve already invited Mr. Li’s family. Also, Director Feng gave us a gift. I don’t want to have a big celebration, just want to treat him to a meal.”

”Sure. If there’s not enough meat at home, I have some more.”

”It’s enough, it’s enough. But you’ll have to help with the work.”

”That’s no issue. I’ll stew the meat in a bit.

Do you have any rice?”

”I do, I still have half a bag.”

”Then I’ll start with the dough, make rice, and steam some buns.”

”Eldest sister-in-law, you take care of it.

Oh, Big Brother, Yuanyuan has gone back home. Our parents are doing okay. Actually, why don’t we have them come live with us?”

”I’ve written several times, but they haven’t said anything.”

When young, we were impulsive, but now with family and children, we realize the love of parents. Even if they were wrong, they gave us life and blood.

Moreover, father is just soft-hearted, although he didn’t protect us siblings much, he treated us well.

So many years have passed. Just the two of them living together, and as their children far away, we are truly not at ease.

After lunch, Zhao Qingjie drove off to his father-in-law’s home. Zhao Qingxiang went to invite Feng Baoshan over for dinner in the evening.

The women left behind continued cooking.

The dough probably wouldn’t rise, might as well make flatbreads, there were no outsiders anyway. Even if they ate a lot, it was just family, so it didn’t matter.

”Xiao Li, is the Han family selling cottonseed oil? Do you want to buy some?”

”Sure, buy as much as you can. Eldest sister doesn’t have much either.

She wanted to come with us, but Jianhua is still too young, afraid the child would catch a cold.”

”Alright, I’ll ask the Han family how much they can sell.”

”Eldest sister-in-law, don’t rush, wait until Big Brother comes back so you don’t have to walk over there.”

They were stewing meat, and there was a big rooster, but Sun Yun saved it for Zhao Yanli to take back.

”Having pork is already great. Before the meal, add more vermicelli, it will be delicious.”

”Eldest sister-in-law, you must buy me more vermicelli too.”

”No worries, my second uncle’s family makes vermicelli. Don’t worry, I’ll get you a hundred pounds. You sisters can split them.”

”Eldest sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister, talking about it, life on the farm is quite good. If you’re not lazy, you will have something to eat.

But over there, that’s not the case, you have to buy everything. Even if you have money and coupons, you can’t always buy it.”

”No problem, I’ll bring more from home. I still have several bundles of big green onions, you can take them with you, plant them in your yards, and they’ll be ready to eat when they sprout.” Qi Xue Mei wasn’t a stingy person.

Only Zhao Xiaojing stayed silent. She felt that the little sister’s words earlier were bragging.

What about her? The other three didn’t care to engage with her.

They were all married and knew what was important, so they would keep in touch, and meet several times a year. There was no need to make it unpleasant.

Zhao Qingxiang had just entered the house when Sun Yun sent him out on another errand.

Zhou Yongbing felt quite embarrassed, so he followed him out once more.

”Xiao Li, Zhou Yongbing is honest, don’t bully him.” Zhao Xiaojing suddenly came out with this sentence.

Zhao Yanli nonchalantly nodded her head. It looked particularly dismissive.

Zhao Xiaojing regretted it after saying it, so she stopped talking further.
