Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 654 go home

Ding Xiaojuan agreed. They, the educated youths, receive a monthly allowance of ten yuan, and giving five yuan to the family is just five yuan.

The Ding family isn’t greedy. They promised to take only five yuan for two years. After two years, they don’t need the money if they don’t want to give it.

Since the family agreed, Ding Xiaojuan thought she still had fifty yuan on hand. Chen Hui said he had money to buy a house, but not a lot. She considered the tickets she had, which could be useful for their wedding.

It’s better to plan together before buying anything. After all, even if she buys something herself, she won’t be able to bring it back. The most essential is a pot. How can you cook a meal without a pot?

She looked at the sun, and it seemed to be past twelve o’clock. Her stomach was rumbling, but she couldn’t bring herself to eat in a restaurant. She asked an elderly woman and drank a big bowl of water, enduring heartburn, as she slowly walked back.

Walking alone is quite boring. She pondered whether they could buy the house.

The brigade wants one hundred yuan for the house, and many people are interested in it mainly because it’s really nice.

If they can truly buy it, even if it offends some villagers, it’s worth it.

It was initially hot, but it got cooler as she walked, and the wind started to blow fiercely. The sky was overcast, indicating a heavy rain.

Ding Xiaojuan felt a bit anxious. She hadn’t even walked half the way yet, and getting caught in the rain could be troublesome. But as the wind brought the rain, large raindrops began to fall.

Being outdoors, there was no place to take shelter from the rain. Ding Xiaojuan was anxious but helpless, so she had to return through the rain.

The wind got stronger, and the rain fell more densely. Ding Xiaojuan decided to start running directly.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car horn behind her. Ding Xiaojuan turned around and saw a car passing her, with Zhao Xiaoli waving at her, "Ding Xiaojuan, get in the car."

Ding Xiaojuan felt lucky, realizing her luck was not so bad. At least she wouldn’t get soaked in the rain for half of the way, avoiding exhaustion.

She hurriedly climbed into the car. But her clothes were soaked, making it difficult to sit comfortably.

Old Yang spoke lightly, "There are some tarpaulin bags in the back."

Ding Xiaojuan didn’t mind and turned around to find the bag, spreading it on the seat.

"Thanks, Xiao Zhao." Even though it’s a new society now, there are still many restrictions between males and females. So, to avoid suspicion, Ding Xiaojuan directly thanked Zhao Xiaoli.

She actually knew that if it weren’t for Zhao Xiaoli, this person wouldn’t necessarily have given her a ride.

"Mr. Ding, what’s this?"

"Well, I went to call my family. Didn’t expect to be caught in a downpour."

She originally planned to discuss the wedding with her family, but then thought, since she hadn’t discussed it clearly with Chen Hui yet, she could only be vague.

"Xiao Zhao, congratulations to you." Ding Xiaojuan said sincerely.

Zhao Xiaoli smiled warmly, "Thanks."

An awkward atmosphere filled the car, and neither of them spoke. Both women felt quite embarrassed, but after the unpleasantness that happened, neither knew how to break the silence.

Old Yang was even less of a conversationalist. He was extremely protective, and he already knew about what happened with Zhao Xiaoli and those three. So he really looked down on those educated youths.

"Mr. Ding, Huang Ying came to find me a few days ago."

"It’s normal. She and Wu Hong are about to be unable to stay at the educated youth station.

Mr. Zhao, I wanted to ask, how much did it cost to build your house?"

Zhao Xiaoli laughed awkwardly, "I really don’t know. Old Yang, how much did we spend?"

"If it’s just building three main rooms without courtyard walls, it’ll be two hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xiaojuan frowned slightly. Two hundred yuan, if they were to truly build a house, they would be left with nothing. Both families can’t be relied upon. It seems they still need to buy an old house.

"Mr. Ding. Are you planning to build a house?"

"That’s the plan. I’ll figure it out when I get back." She feared that revealing too much would lead to unforeseen changes and embarrassment.

Finally, they arrived in the village. It was still raining. "Mr. Zhao, just stop the car here, I can walk back by myself."

Old Yang didn’t hesitate, braking immediately to stop.

"Mr. Ding, take the tarpaulin bag. It’s still raining, cover yourself so you don’t catch a cold."

"Thanks." Ding Xiaojuan got out of the car, using the bag to shield herself as she ran towards the educated youth station.

"Old Yang, do you think the village chief will agree to her building a house here?"

"It’s nothing. As long as she has the money, why bother so much?"

"It’s quite inconvenient for a young woman to move out on her own."

"Not necessarily all by herself."

"But those two women are already enemies. How could they still live together?"

"Then with a man."

"A man?"

"Isn’t marriage possible?"

"Marriage? Who would it be? Chen Hui? I think it would be Chen Hui.

Actually, this is pretty good. Back then, when we first arrived, the three of us always said we would never settle down here."

"Why?"

"For me, I don’t want to end up as strangers with my spouse due to a lack of common language.

My parents’ relationship is particularly good, and I desire a marital relationship like that. So I want to find a like-minded partner.

Furthermore, I don’t want to stay here for life. If what Jiang Xinyu said is true, that there’s a chance to go to college in the future, then it’ll mean separation from my spouse."

Old Yang didn’t say anything, just nodded, "Listening to Xiao Jiang will be fine.

And Xiao Qiang, don’t let him give up on studying."

"Old Yang, in winter, can Xiao Qiang go to study?"

"Have you thought it through?"

"Old Yang, I’m just reluctant to part with Xiao Qiang. And I’m also worried it might be inconvenient for Jiang Xinyu. Once winter comes, the child will be older, it’s the off-season for farming, so let Xiao Qiang go study."

"Fine, I’ll inform Xiao Wei then."

"Old Yang, I can go to college in the future, right?"

"Definitely. So don’t abandon your studies, I’ll absolutely support you."

Zhao Xiaoli smiled and nodded. That’s the benefit of being educated.

Zhao Xiaoqiang was happy to hear his sister and brother-in-law mention that he could go to Aunt Jiang’s house. He longed to study with Shi Jing and the others. He had heard Master Shang’s lectures and found them very interesting.

"Xiao Qiang, do you want to be with Shi Jing and the others?"

Zhao Xiaoqiang nodded, "Sister, Master Shang lectures especially well, and I’ve never heard anything like it before. I can’t answer Master Shang’s questions, but Feifei can."

"Master Shang used to be a scholar, but that’s not practiced now. Otherwise, he might have been a top scorer with that knowledge."

Zhao Xiaoli was surprised, "I never noticed, I just thought Master Shang was ordinary."

Old Yang smiled and said nothing more.
