Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 646 Ideas

"Dad, I know, but sometimes I just can’t bear it."

Lv Beiguang chuckled, "Luckily you have Xiao Li by your side. You two should discuss things together in the future."

"Mm, I know. I will listen to Sister Xiaoli’s advice, Aunt Jiang also mentioned it to me.

Dad, you can go back and live without worry; I will definitely be fine. Aunt Jiang said that in the future, I should walk out of here with dignity."

"Good, my daughter has ambition."

It was rare for the three of them to have a chance like this, with endless things to talk about.

The two of them certainly talked about life here in great detail. Lv Beiguang occasionally gave them advice. After the three kids had slept for an hour, Wei Kaiyun woke them up.

The four waved goodbye and left.

Jianbin sat on the front beam, with Shi Jing and Feifei behind him, a broad cloth bag tied around the waist of the three Grandpa; it’s safer this way.

"Dad, the crops here aren’t as good as those in our village."

"Yes, they’re behind us. Shi Jing, is this place fun?"

"Just so-so, Brother Guodong only took us to dig wild vegetables. We didn’t go anywhere else, so just wild vegetables, wild grass, and land."

Wei Kaiyun sat in the front, chuckling. The child’s summary was quite accurate.

Meanwhile, Huang Ying returned to the field with a gloomy face, ignoring Wu Hong when she spoke.

Wu Hong pouted, thinking she must have encountered some trouble after being away for so long.

Actually, Wu Hong felt she had a better character than Huang Ying; her selfishness was apparent, and she didn’t bother to hide it, unlike Huang Ying, who was extremely hypocritical.

Although everyone isolated her, she wasn’t angry, just wouldn’t hold a grudge.

Seeing Huang Ying’s frustrated demeanor, Wu Hong thought she must have faced setbacks somewhere. As she worked, Wu Hong suddenly remembered Huang Ying must have gone to find Zhao Xiaoli and the others.

Yes, that must be it; they know each other. The rest are working, only Zhao Xiaoli and the other three aren’t.

"Huang Ying, Zhao Xiaoli and the others ignored you, didn’t they?"

Huang Ying heard Wu Hong’s voice, gloating, gritting her teeth, but didn’t look up to retaliate, still caring about her reputation.

Ding Xiaojuan and the others heard it too, agreeing with Wu Hong’s view.

Ding Xiaojuan roughly understood why Huang Ying went to find Zhao Xiaoli and them.

Such greed and shamelessness make it uncomfortable to live together.

At this moment, Chen Hui was helping Ding Xiaojuan weed, and they bumped into each other.

The men had the strength, Chen Hui worked swiftly, so he turned back to help Ding Xiaojuan with another stretch.

They exchanged glances, seeing the disgust in each other’s eyes.

The afternoon’s task was weeding. By six o’clock, the Captain blew the whistle, signaling the end of work.

The six of them went back together, but Wu Hong and Huang Ying couldn’t; they had to collect firewood, or they wouldn’t be able to cook dinner.

Actually, what Chen Hui and the others said was just casual; if the two women really needed firewood, using theirs couldn’t be refused.

But this wouldn’t be said, nor start, as they knew these two women were opportunists not to be provoked.

Upon returning to the youth settlement, Ding Xiaojuan started preparing dinner, not wanting to mix with the two.

Chen Hui was responsible for the fire, while the other four fetched water to irrigate the vegetables.

The vegetables in the field were divided, as for Wu Hong’s, the four didn’t discuss nor care.

After a day of work, coming back is truly exhausting; their vegetables were for their own consumption, no such noble sentiment to help the two.

Just as Ding Xiaojuan finished dinner, Wu Hong returned clutching some dry branches under her armpit.

They hardly spoke anymore.

But they didn’t see Huang Ying return; being adults in the village, no one paid attention, gathering to eat.

After dinner, night had fallen. Wu Hong had managed to have dinner, two bowls of porridge.

After the meal, the men went to the river to bathe, leaving the women time to wash up.

Before leaving, Ding Xiaojuan had sun-dried a basin of water; though not warm, it certainly wasn’t cold.

She carried it to the bathhouse, washed up, and met Huang Ying on her way out, who hadn’t brought any firewood.

Ding Xiaojuan expected this.

Ignoring her, squatted in the yard doing laundry.

Huang Ying looked at Ding Xiaojuan ignoring her, filled with hate, yet stood timidly beside her.

"Sister Xiaojuan, I’d like to join you guys."

Ding Xiaojuan didn’t look up, "It’s not possible here; you can ask the men." Having said that, she said no more.

"Sister Xiaojuan, how can you be like this?"

Ding Xiaojuan was unwilling to respond, feeling she’d already made her point. What Huang Ying thought was her own business.

Hung the clothes on the clothesline and went back inside.

Only Huang Ying stood lonely in the yard, feeling terribly wronged, yet helpless, needing food after working tirelessly bare-handed.

She had to make her own meal, but she took firewood from the shed.

Wu Hong sneered; she was even more shameless than herself.

Wu Hong went to bathe quickly, as the men had returned, their clothes were cleaned.

Once Chen Hui tidied up, he went out, followed by Ding Xiaojuan a while later.

The two had arranged to meet by the riverside.

"You’re here?"

"Chen Hui, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Ding Xiaojuan, you’re already twenty-one, not young anymore. I’m twenty-five, why don’t we get married and move out?"

Ding Xiaojuan glanced at Chen Hui in surprise, though it was dark, unable to see his expression, his words conveyed his seriousness.

Without a response, Chen Hui continued, "Ding Xiaojuan, do you have someone you like?"

"No."

"Neither do I have anyone. We’re both educated youths, if someday we return, neither would have abandoned the other, and I don’t want to marry a rural bride either, I think you’re not willing to stay here."

What Chen Hui said was right, she was already twenty-one, had considered it; even if not married, she didn’t want to stay here.

His proposal greatly appealed to her. He was right; they were most suitable together.

However, they knew little of each other. "What about your family’s situation?"

Chen Hui smiled, seeing a glimmer of hope, "I’m the second child, with an older brother and sister, and two younger sisters.

Our family’s condition is average, parents are workers, but I’m less favored, that’s why I ended up here.

In the future, even if I return, there won’t be much connection with them."
