Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 520 preparation

Yao Shimin quickly nodded, "I’ll go buy milk powder and eggs at noon. Jingyi, I’ll cook eggs for you right now." After speaking, he put down the bowl and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Old Yao, no need, I just ate the bread Xinyu brought over. I don’t feel like eating now; let’s talk about it tonight.

I’m able to go to work today. I’ll just have bread for lunch and wait for your milk powder."

Jiang Xinyu nodded and smiled from the side, "You know your own body best. You’re not doing heavy labor, but if possible, you should exercise more."

The couple nodded. Being new parents, they naturally knew nothing. With someone experienced guiding them, they were certainly willing.

Yao Shimin ate quickly, and the three of them headed to work together.

"Jingyi, I’ll make more bread for you tonight. It won’t go bad, so you can eat it every day. If you get tired of it, let me know."

"Thank you, Xinyu."

"No need to be polite with me."

Yao Shimin, having tasted the bread, knew it was good stuff. He contemplated how to repay Jiang Xinyu, knowing that money wouldn’t do; he should give her something she needs.

Jiang Xinyu attended the morning meeting today, and everyone who came welcomed her back.

"Thank you all. I didn’t bring much back; here are milk candies—three pieces each—for everyone to taste the local specialty."

Of course, some silently thought it was too little, but didn’t show it.

However, most were happy. It wasn’t about how much, but about Vice Factory Director Jiang’s thoughtfulness.

After the morning meeting, Jiang Xinyu returned to the office as Wang Jianshu from the finance department came over. It had been two months, and it was time for Vice Factory Director Jiang to audit the accounts.

"Mr. Wang, let’s go straight to the finance department. I’ll spend the next few days auditing the accounts while everything else is operating normally, so there’s no rush."

All morning, Jiang Xinyu worked with an abacus in her left hand and a pen in her right, recording quickly.

Wang Jianshu watched from the side, feeling numb; this Vice Factory Director was even more skilled at accounting than their team of accountants, which was quite demoralizing.

At noon, Jiang Xinyu held her lunch box and greeted the two masters who came from Hai City.

"Vice Factory Director Jiang, the atmosphere of your textile factory is better than ours."

Jiang Xinyu was quite proud upon hearing this, chatting with them for a bit.

"Xinyu, you’re back?" Wang Ailing saw Jiang Xinyu as soon as she entered the canteen.

"Sister, I’m back. Let’s have lunch together in a bit."

The two masters said goodbye to Jiang Xinyu and went to queue up.

In the end, the four female colleagues sat at a table together.

"Sister, why don’t you come over to my house tonight? I brought milk candy for the kids."

"Okay, we’ll head over after lunch."

Jiang Xinyu thought she could also bring bread for the two kids to eat.

After lunch, she returned to the office and dialed Wei Kaiyun’s number. The call rang for a long time without anyone answering; what’s going on?

Then she called She Xiaoyun.

"Sister She, I’m back."

"You’re finally back. We were thinking about going to the beach this weekend; you came back just in time."

"Are we cycling there?"

"Yeah, what other way is there? Although the company has cars, we don’t dare to borrow them now."

"True, I’ll visit you tomorrow noon; I brought milk candy for the kids."

"Haha, no wonder Zhiwei is always mentioning you; you always think of him when you have something good."

"It’s nothing much, just Big White Rabbit milk candy, it’s a specialty there. Okay, let’s talk more when we meet tomorrow noon."

Jiang Xinyu was thinking about Wei Kaiyun, wondering if he had gone to the canteen for lunch. But he rarely went there himself, usually having his secretary take care of it.

She dialed again, and this time, Wei Kaiyun answered.

"Hello, this is Wei Kaiyun."

"I got home yesterday afternoon."

"I thought you would be back around now. How are things?"

"Alright. Were you not in the office just now?"

"Yeah, there was some trouble in the workshop."

"Resolved?"

"Not yet, but the security department has detained the troublemakers."

"Qian Jun fired a few troublemakers recently."

"I agree; it’s like ’killing the chicken to warn the monkey’."

"Take care of yourself. I’m going to the beach on Saturday; do you need anything? I can send it over to you."

"No need, I don’t lack anything. You take care too."

After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu felt more at ease.

She found the train station’s Zhang Songpo’s number.

"Station Chief Zhang, this is Jiang Xinyu from the textile factory."

"Hello, Vice Factory Director Jiang. I heard you were on a business trip?"

"Yes, I just got back from Hai City. I’m calling to ask if you could help me send some things to the Northeast? I think mailing is too slow, but I’ll pay for the ticket fare."

"It’s a small matter."

Jiang Xinyu gave the address, and they agreed to deliver the items to the train station at eight tomorrow night.

Now she could bring more food for the kids. Who knows how they’re doing now?

She called Old Yang, "I’ll send some food for the kids by train tomorrow night. I’ll notify you when it arrives."

"Alright. The kids will come over tomorrow; I’ll call you at noon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyu was thrilled, having not heard the kids’ voices for a long time and missing them terribly.

She continued auditing in the afternoon. The finance department was now following procedures, so rarely any issues appeared, but Jiang Xinyu carefully reviewed each transaction, as there couldn’t be any mistakes.

By evening, Jiang Xinyu felt dizzy. She chuckled to herself, thinking she truly was precious.

Back home, she hurriedly prepared the dough and started a fire. This time, because of the urgency, she used more yeast, worried it wouldn’t rise.

During this time, she began packing the things for the kids, including ten pounds of dried fruit, ten pounds of Big White Rabbit candies, and five pounds of chocolate.

These were high-calorie items, but life was tough now, so eating more wasn’t a problem.

She also packed cotton clothes she made for the kids, two pairs of cotton shoes each, and three sets of clothes for each.

Everything was wrapped in plastic, sewn into a burlap bag, and wrapped in another layer of burlap for security. She found a marker and wrote Old Yang’s name and phone number directly on it.

Half an hour had passed. Jiang Xinyu checked the dough, which still hadn’t risen. If it didn’t work, she’d have Chen Guoliang pick it up tomorrow morning.

She ate a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, not having an appetite for anything else but ate two bananas and an orange.

She thought about how great it would be if the kids could eat them. Suddenly, it occurred to her that she could make orange candy for the kids. She decided to do it right away, quickly peeling over ten oranges, and then simmering them into juice, adding a pound of sugar, and finally some potato starch.
