Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 672 Agreement

Shang Zhenkun looked at a large piece of meat, "Xiao Jiang, I’m going to find some fruitwood, let’s smoke the meat."

"Sure, smoked meat is delicious too."

Wei Kaiyun organized everything neatly, and the two boys wanted to go play with him.

"Feifei, aren’t you going with Dad?"

"Dad, I’m not going. It’s too hot. I’ll stay at home with Mom."

"Alright, Xinyu, we’ll be off then?"

"Yes, don’t rush back, take your time riding."

After sending them off, Jiang Xinyu lay on the bed, not wanting to move. This big belly is truly a burden. Her legs felt sore—a result of too much sitting in the car, thankfully there was no swelling.

Jiang Feifei lay beside her mother, reading a book. Jiang Xinyu corrected her a bit, worried about her eyesight.

"Mom, I want to collect books; they’re precious."

"Feifei, our capabilities are limited. When winter comes, we’ll go to the city, and gather as much as we can. Safety is the most important. Though I agree your idea is good, I’m concerned it might not be wise for you."

"Mom, I understand. Can you ask Uncle Yang for help?"

Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "We haven’t even told Dad, your Uncle Yang is busy hiding right now, no need to worry, I’ll take you out for a few days, Feifei, we’ll do our best."

"Mom, why am I so young? If I were older, I could go out myself and collect little by little."

"Feifei, some things can’t be contradicted; it’s just the way fate is.

We need to make sure we have no regrets, just do our best."

"But I feel uneasy."

"Feifei, you’re just human, even gods aren’t omnipotent."

"Mom, Uncle Han is coming this winter, can I go with him to the Capital?"

"No, absolutely not, you need to abandon that thought right away. I will never agree."

Jiang Xinyu had never spoken so sternly to her child.

"Okay, Mom, I promise to listen."

Jiang Xinyu softened her tone, "Feifei, if you were exposed, do you know what could happen? Even though I don’t know for sure, imagine that in such a big country with all sorts of pursuits and strange people, if we’re exposed, we’ll lose our freedom, which might be the best outcome; worse is not being able even to die."

Jiang Feifei was scared too, realizing her thoughts were immature, and quickly snuffed out her unrealistic ideas.

"Feifei, rest assured, there are plenty of intelligent people. Now is your time to grow and develop skills. Once you’re capable and grown, you can buy them, or trade for them."

"Okay, Mom, I understand. I absolutely won’t act impulsively."

"Good, I trust you. No matter what happens, you must ensure your own safety."

"Alright, I promise. I will seek your opinion before doing anything."

"I trust you. Just make sure you’re clear about things.

I’m glad you have such intentions, but one needs to understand their capabilities and position."

Mother and daughter whispered together, Jiang Xinyu consoled her daughter, sharing the same thoughts herself, but having seen much, her courage dwindled. Nothing is more important than family safety.

Wei Kaiyun drove into Jin Family Village, finding the door at Old Yang’s house locked.

He locked the car and brought the two kids along, asking the children, and found out where the adults were working.

Old Yang saw Wei Kaiyun approaching and waved with a smile. The two kids ran over, "Uncle Yang, do you also work?" Shi Jing asked, looking up and smiling.

"I do, I used to do farm work. Shi Jing, do you know how?"

"I help Dad water the plants, and I can pull weeds, but I can’t use a hoe yet. Once I’m as tall as the hoe, then I can."

"Yes, by then you’ll be able. I’m sure Shi Jing can handle it.

Jianbin, have you found your dad?"

"Yes, Uncle Yang, my dad said he’d come see me."

Old Yang glanced at Wei Kaiyun, saw him nod, and smiled.

"Jianbin truly is charming, I’ve invited your dad before, but he always declined."

Han Jianbin pressed his lips and smiled, after all, still a child.

"Want me to help for a while?"

"No need, we’re almost done, then we head back."

Wang Shulin also saw Wei Kaiyun with his two kids arriving, noticing Old Yang continuing his work, the kids ran off to find Lv Guodong.

Lv Beiguang also spotted Wei Kaiyun with the kids coming over, "Jing Chu, you handle it on your own, I’ll go help Uncle Yang, let them go home."

"Alright, Dad, you go."

Lv Beiguang purely helped without any request, people in the village were very satisfied with the father and son.

Lv Beiguang shouldered a hoe and said, "Old Yang, you and Old Wei go back, I’ll continue for you."

"I’ll just ask for leave."

"Go on, with Wei here, leaving Xinyu alone at home isn’t ideal. If you have something urgent, you should hurry back."

Old Yang nodded with a smile. Lv Beiguang greeted Wei Kaiyun too, "Let the kids go back with you, it’s too hot here."

Wei Kaiyun shouted, the two kids ran back, and the four returned home.

"Wow, so many great things?"

"Today was lucky, on the first you send me off with a car, I’ll bring Xinyu to the county hospital."

"Is she due soon?"

"Yes."

"Why not drive the car back today, who knows which day it will be? If it’s earlier, what difference does it make where the car is?"

"Alright, I’ll leave the bike with you."

"Okay."

The two began moving things, surrounded by a group of children, Old Yang let Shi Jing and Jianbin share some candies with them.

"It’s too chaotic in the city. I was lucky today."

"It’s best if we both just stay here calmly." Old Yang sighed.

"Does the phone interfere?"

"No, just leave it as it is. Xiao Wei, once you’re cleared, and you’re free, we’ll head out to get some good things."

"By autumn it should be about sorted."

The two exchanged smiles, Wei Kaiyun handed Old Yang a bag of salt, "Here are the curing ingredients, rub the salt on the meat and hang it up later."

"Alright, you should head back."

Old Yang picked up the two kids and put them in the car, ruffling their hair, and watched them leave.

He went back into the yard, cut away a big piece of meat, decided to eat some fresh, rubbed the rest with salt, and hung it up.

Checking the time, there was still over an hour before the end of work, so he picked up his hoe and went back to the fields.

Lv Beiguang saw him return and realized Wei Kaiyun had already left.

"Old Lv, I’ll handle it."

"It’s almost done here, you go help Xiao Li, I’ll help Jing Chu in a while."

Old Yang didn’t resist, and headed to his wife’s plot.

"Old Wei, has he left already?"

"Yes, Xiao Jiang is due soon, he’s been away too long and is uneasy."
