Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 514 studies

"Vice Factory Director Jiang, has Mr. Yang changed his mind?"

Jiang Xinyu just smiled without saying anything, thinking to herself, why is this guy so gossipy?

In the afternoon, they went to the laboratory. Jiang Xinyu was very curious about it. She had experimental classes when she was in school and was quite familiar with the laboratory equipment. However, some data were unclear to her, but she could take this opportunity to make some notes.

Jiang Xinyu diligently took notes all afternoon. The experimental data of her own factory were different from these, especially in terms of raw materials. It might be due to regional differences.

Until the end of the workday, they didn’t stay for dinner; instead, they went straight home by car.

Jiang Xinyu felt like having rice, so she cooked some for dinner.

"It’s really not suitable for the local taste."

"I’m not used to it either, but some dishes here are quite good. I like the soup here."

In her past life, Jiang Xinyu was a northerner and had no concept of making soup. Growing up in the countryside, she never paid much attention to these things.

She thought about learning to make soup in the future since it’s a good way to stay healthy.

"Wife, we have about twenty days left. Do you have to go back directly?"

"Yeah, Qian Jun is waiting for his vacation. If I go back, he can leave."

"Okay, once I return, I’ll arrange things and prepare to resign."

"I will too, but I have to wait until Qian Jun returns or until someone from above comes over before saying anything."

"Fine, it’s not going to be approved quickly anyway."

"Hopefully soon. I’ll feel at ease if one of us is with the children."

Wei Kaiyun sighed as well. Yes, his two precious kids were still far away.

"Let’s find time to go shopping. I want to send the kids some things that aren’t available there."

Wei Kaiyun shook his head, "The post office is very strict now. If not, you can use the train to deliver them and have Old Yang pick them up."

Jiang Xinyu nodded. That’s a good idea.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoxian and Mu Xiaoman were eating at Jianguo Restaurant. Afterward, they went to the cinema and found no new films.

"Xiaoman, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Mu Xiaoman shook her head, "I’ve seen them all, it’s meaningless to watch again. I should just go home."

"Okay, I’ll walk you."

The two walked slowly. Yang Xiaoxian thought for a while, "Xiaoman, can you be my girlfriend?"

"Oh? How did you come up with this idea?" Though it was a mutual understanding between them, they still needed to go through the motions.

"I think we’re a good match."

"Is that so." Though Mu Xiaoman was mature, she was still a girl at heart. Hearing the man she fancied say he wanted to be with her because they’re suitable, not because he liked her, was disappointing.

But she knew she couldn’t be pretentious. Her dad had always favored this man and actually wanted to groom him to become the factory director.

She had a good impression of him herself, but couldn’t say she liked him much. Although they’d known each other for a while, they hadn’t spent much time together. She had some understanding of him, but not deeply.

Mu Xiaoman decided not to be pretentious either, "Is it the kind to get married?"

Yang Xiaoxian nodded.

"Alright, I agree. We’re officially a couple now. But I have to inform my family," implying the factory director would definitely know.

"Of course, I’ll write to my family to tell them the good news." Yang Xiaoxian’s family was from the countryside here, so he had to write a letter to notify them.

At Mu Xiaoman’s doorstep, "It’s late, I won’t invite you in."

"Okay, go in and have a rest."

Mu Xiaoman returned home and saw everyone was in their own rooms. She knocked on her parents’ door.

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

"What’s the matter?"

"Today, Yang Xiaoxian and I had dinner, and on the way back he suggested we become a couple, and I agreed."

"Oh, Yang Xiaoxian is pretty good. You’re a good match, and you don’t have to worry about him being fickle."

Mu Xiaoman smiled, "Dad, nothing is absolute. I think he must have been rejected by Jiang Xinyu and finally chose me."

"Alright, don’t overthink it. These aren’t problems. I may promote him, but I’ll definitely keep an ace in the hole. You also need to strive hard. If your abilities surpass his, he’ll behave."

"Yes, I understand."

Now the two were publically acknowledged.

"Xiaoman, invite him over for dinner on Saturday."

"Mom, he probably doesn’t have time now. Let’s wait until the outsiders leave after the training before talking about it."

At noon the next day, the two had lunch together again, but the atmosphere felt different.

Many female workers in the textile factory liked Yang Xiaoxian, but upon seeing he already had a girlfriend, they gave up.

A couple of days later, both Jiang Xinyu and Yang Xiaoxian took leave, planning to go shopping in the afternoon to prepare some things for the kids. Since they couldn’t be with them, they could only satisfy them materially.

She knew this wasn’t good, but it was all she could manage.

The market was crowded. Jiang Xinyu bought ten kilos of White Rabbit candy from three different stores. She also bought five kilos of individually wrapped chocolates and some dried fruits. The rest should be available in the North, and some couldn’t be preserved long-term or sent to the kids.

She also bought several sets of clothes for the two kids. Jiang Xinyu didn’t like them much, as she’d seen later styles, but these clothes were quite trendy.

Old Yang should prepare the winter clothes, but Jiang Xinyu felt she should make new ones for the children. This wasn’t urgent, she could make them in a day after returning.

There were plenty of shoes too. Jiang Xinyu fancied two pairs of leather shoes, but they were too large and only suitable for when they’re around ten years old, so she decided to forget it. There might be new styles by then.

Without Wei Kaiyun accompanying her this time, she bought many southern fruits. Although she couldn’t send these to the children, she could eat them herself.

She returned home with large bags, storing away most of it and only leaving some fruits out. The new clothes were kept visible. She planned to visit the post office later to inquire about whether they could be sent.

Thinking about this, she packed the clothes and went to the post office to call Old Yang.

"You’re back from Shanghai?"

"No, Master Yang, I bought clothes for Shi Jing and Feifei. I asked, and it’s possible to send them over, but it will take more than a month. Can I send them to your place?"

"No problem, send them over. I’ll deliver them to the kids."
