Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 670: Call

"Mom, why is there so much meat?"

"It’s enough for you to eat, don’t ask too much." Jiang Xinyu said with a smile.

"Xinyu, I’ll go buy lunch." Wei Kaiyun pulled Jiang Xinyu to sit down, afraid she might get tired standing.

"You go ahead."

"Let Jianbin call Old Han."

After Wei Kaiyun left, Jiang Xinyu sat down with the three children and gave each of them a cup of water. Then she dialed Han Xiangjun’s number.

Jianbin couldn’t sit still; it had been a long time since he last contacted Dad, and he really missed him.

"Hello, is this Han Xiangjun?"

"Yes, Xiao Jiang?"

"Mr. Han, it’s Jiang Xinyu. Hold on, Jianbin wants to talk to you."

"Dad, why haven’t you contacted me for so long?"

"Isn’t your Uncle Yang not around?" Han Xiangjun could only explain it this way, as he was being very cautious now.

"Dad, can you come see me?"

"I can, Dad will come during the New Year to see you."

"That’s great! I’ve seen Brother Guodong’s dad come visit them, but you haven’t come yet. Let me tell you, Uncle Wei’s food is really delicious. We often get to eat meat, and I often eat my favorite rice too." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Han Xiangjun nodded while smiling on the other end of the line, "Alright, then Jianbin must have grown taller?"

"Yes, I’ve grown taller. Aunt Jiang made new clothes for me."

"Great, Dad will definitely come see you and bring you delicious food."

"Dad, make sure you bring plenty, and there’s Shi Jing and Feifei too."

"How could Dad forget about your younger siblings? Don’t worry, Dad will bring you all delicious food and fun things."

"Dad, we want picture books." He said, taking out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket, and listed the books they had.

"Dad, don’t buy duplicates, these are ones we already have."

Han Xiangjun smiled, "Alright, I won’t duplicate, I’ll also check if there are any other books in the bookstore."

"Dad, you must come, Aunt Jiang is going to have a little sister."

"Okay, Dad will definitely come, you be good and wait for Dad."

"I’m really good, I follow Master Shang to practice kung fu, study, and even go with Uncle Wei to the watermelon field. Dad, watermelons have grown already.

Uncle Wei said we can store them in the cellar and wait for you to come to eat. I know you love watermelon the most."

Han Xiangjun’s smile was slightly bitter, but his voice was very cheerful, "Alright, Dad will come to eat watermelon."

"Dad, I also learned winemaking with Uncle Lv, Uncle Wei brewed wine for you, waiting for you to come and drink."

"That’s great, how come our Jianbin is so smart?"

Being praised by Dad made Han Jianbin feel quite embarrassed. "Dad, the wine was just me helping Uncle Lv a little, it’s all Uncle Lv’s work."

"That’s already very impressive, Jianbin you stay well-behaved at Uncle Wei’s and wait for Dad."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

"Where’s your Uncle Wei?"

"Uncle Wei went to buy food, today we’re at Uncle Yang’s house, but Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang are in the village, there’s no food to eat here, so we have to go buy some food."

"Okay, Dad knows. You wait for Dad and give the phone to your Aunt Jiang."

Jianbin smiled and handed the receiver to Jiang Xinyu.

"Mr. Han."

"Xiao Jiang, thank you for taking care of Jianbin."

"Mr. Han, you’re too kind. Jianbin is very smart, very well-behaved."

Standing to the side, Han Jianbin blushed from such praise, his eyes bright.

"I feel at ease leaving him with you. When Xiao Wei returns, have him call me."

"Okay, he should be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinyu held her waist and went out to get water for the children to wash, but the three kids refused, saying they would get water themselves and even helped Jiang Xinyu get some.

"Thank you, all three of you."

After Jiang Xinyu washed up, they fetched more water for Dad to use when he returned.

Wei Kaiyun bought a dish of stir-fried liver slices, a pork stew with vermicelli, and a three-grain steamed bun at the restaurant.

He hurried back, worried his wife might be hungry.

At home, he let the four of them eat first, but they waited for him to wash up so they could eat together.

After the meal, he had the three children take a nap, "Han Xiangjun asked you to call him."

"Hmm, are you okay?"

"I’m very well, don’t worry about me." Jiang Xinyu wanted to laugh, Wei Kaiyun was now overly cautious and worried that she might be slightly uncomfortable.

Such concern was touching; one can tell if a man loves you from the little things.

Wei Kaiyun dialed Han Xiangjun’s number. They exchanged a few words and then hung up, the phone wasn’t safe for long conversations now, just simple updates were enough to know each other’s current state.

"Honey, is your body okay?"

"Yes, why?"

"We should leave; the children aren’t asleep yet, and today the city isn’t stable."

"Alright, you go load the car, I’ll go wake the kids."

Jiang Xinyu felt a bit scared. Truthfully, people were very irrational now, so it’s better to avoid trouble.

Wei Kaiyun moved quickly, packing everything in ten minutes.

Seeing his wife tidying up the room, he immediately helped together.

The family got into the car and left. They didn’t want to stay even a moment longer.

Wei Kaiyun actually couldn’t leave so freely, Li Yungui didn’t have enough authority to ensure Wei Kaiyun’s departure, it needed approval through proper channels. However, as long as there weren’t any checks, it was alright.

That’s why they tried their best to avoid trouble, not wanting to bring trouble to Li Yungui either.

Leaving the city helped Jiang Xinyu ease her tension.

The three children had a habit of taking afternoon naps; the windows were open, and they were already asleep.

"Xinyu, why don’t you take a nap too?"

"I’m fine, not sleepy yet. By the way, let’s stop at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county to see if there’s anything we need."

"Sure, it’s still early. We’ll arrive in the county around 1:30 pm, take your time, there’s no rush."

"Okay, we’ll buy things; you should go pick up Village Chief Li."

"No need, I’d rather stay with you, I’m not at ease otherwise." He couldn’t be at ease when his wife wasn’t beside him, needing to see her himself to feel secure.

"Then let’s go pick up Village Chief Li first."

"Alright, we’ll go to the county government courtyard first."

"With things being so tense, can you go to another city?"

"I’m not sure, let me inform Li Yungui about today’s situation, and have him think of a way. After all, this involves leaving the city."

"You definitely should; you must not fall into danger."

"Li Yungui will know what to do. Honey, we’ll come back on the first, and I’ll stay with you."

"How about giving birth at the county hospital? Or we can go check the county hospital again. My body is healthy, and a natural delivery should be fine."

"Is the county hospital okay?"

"Why not? Most people still give birth at home."
