Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 725 gratitude

Both of them felt a bit embarrassed, that’s not how you take advantage of someone’s kindness.

Old Yang heard his wife’s words, so he bought a bit more.

There was oily braised pork, stir-fried pork with pine mushrooms, and a stew of bok choy with tofu. They ordered five buns and a bowl of rice.

"Ding Zhiqing, don’t stand on ceremony, eat the braised pork. Don’t read too much into it, I’m not pitying you, it’s for the baby in your belly."

Things like pride are just fluff; Ding Xiaojuan didn’t hold back, she ate a piece of the braised pork.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly picked up another piece.

Zhao Xiaoli saw her eating and quickly pushed the dish towards her "You eat, don’t be shy."

After eating three pieces, Ding Xiaojuan stopped, "I haven’t eaten meat for a long time, eating too much might not be good for my health."

Chen Hui had already finished, watching his wife eat so happily made his heart ache, he’s just not capable enough.

Old Yang looked at Chen Hui, "Here’s two buns for you, hurry up and eat, we won’t finish the dishes anyway, I ordered extra on purpose." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The couple realized they were being helped out.

The four of them left the restaurant. Chen Hui was carrying a bag of grain.

"Let’s go, come to my place and rest for a while."

Although he said rest, no one had lived here for a long time. Old Yang took sheets from the cabinet and laid them on the bed for the two pregnant women to rest.

Hearing a knock on the door, Old Yang went to open it, and a hand underling brought over two pieces of meat, one portion was tallow, and the other was pork belly.

Chen Hui looked at the meat Old Yang brought in and felt a pang of envy. Even though he wasn’t as capable as Old Yang, it still made him feel very inadequate.

Because it was too hot, and they were afraid the meat would go bad, they coated it with a thick layer of salt.

At two-thirty, the four of them set off. On the way, they picked up Sister-in-law Wu.

They arrived at the Wei family an hour later. Old Yang left half the grain and half the pork belly for Wei Kaiyun.

"We won’t stay for dinner, let’s head back."

"Alright, let the three kids ride their bikes back home after dinner."

Old Yang nodded, Jiang Xinyu packed the two steamed pots of buns for Zhao Xiaoli.

"I’ll steam more for you later."

Old Yang and his group left. Jiang Xinyu and Sister-in-law Liu busied themselves preparing dinner. They originally wanted to make dumplings, but since they didn’t have baked pancakes for lunch, they decided to make those instead. It worked out well because there was more meat from Old Yang.

They intentionally made extra, the weather at night was already cooler, so it was fine to leave it for the next morning without spoiling.

In their family, they preferred light meals in the evening, so Jiang Xinyu made rice porridge and stir-fried carrot shreds with eggs.

The meal started at six, and after dinner, they didn’t let the guests leave right away, fearing they might not feel well.

Wei Kaiyun brought out a big watermelon from the cellar. He let the three guests eat it before letting them leave.

Guodong rode the bike, with Xiaoqiang in the front and Jing Chu at the back. Jiang Xinyu specifically gave her a small cushion, so it wouldn’t be too uncomfortable.

"Bro, Aunt Jiang and Uncle Wei are really capable. Uncle Wei’s been rehabilitated, but their family didn’t leave."

"Back then, Dad wanted to send us to the countryside, and Aunt Jiang agreed."

"Yeah, we must study well in the future, Aunt Jiang said there would definitely be opportunities."

"Yes, as long as we don’t give up on our studies. Doesn’t Aunt Jiang always say that opportunities are for the prepared?"

"Yes, winter is long here, so we have more time to study. Plus, we have someone to help tutor us. Who else can have such an opportunity?"

Zhao Xiaoqiang, sitting in the front, said, "Brother Guodong, I want to study too. I feel Jianbin and his two friends know more than I do."

"It’s good for you to join. Master Shang is really capable, otherwise, Aunt Jiang wouldn’t trust Shi Jing and the others to him. You can also learn some martial arts from Master Shang; I’ll learn alongside you when I come over.

Jing Chu. You should learn some self-defense skills as well."

"Okay, I got it. I’m really envious watching Feifei practicing her skills."

"We owe Aunt Jiang a lot of gratitude."

"In the future, we’ll treat her like our mom with filial respect," Jing Chu said resolutely.

"Yes, we’ll treat her like our mom in the future," Guodong also agreed with his sister’s approach.

"Then I’ll owe Aunt Jiang too."

"With your brother-in-law around, you have someone to repay the favor, but you should also recognize the kindness shown," Guodong told Xiaoqiang.

"I will remember, and repay the favor in the future."

By the time the three of them got home, it was already quite dark. Zhao Xiaoqiang limped a little after getting off the bike, even though there was a cushion tied to the front crossbar, it was still uncomfortable.

This bike was Jiang Xinyu’s, a 26-inch women’s bike, slightly smaller than a men’s bike.

"Sister Xiaoli, I brought back some pancakes for you, have one, it’s really good. Aunt Jiang put shrimp paste in it."

The three of them had already eaten dinner, tomato noodles.

Jing Chu took out the pancake, and Zhao Xiaoli, unable to resist the aroma, still ended up eating one.

"Delicious. Really delicious, Old Yang, you should try some too."

Old Yang loved Jiang Xinyu’s pancakes, so he ate two pieces himself. Even though they weren’t as good as fresh from the pan, they were still very fragrant.

After the couple finished eating, they went out for a walk because they had eaten too much and couldn’t lie down comfortably.

Guodong heated water for Jing Chu, so she could bathe, and then the two boys bathed as well.

Jing Chu obediently prepared three bowls of milk powder for them, which they all drank. Zhao Xiaoqiang washed the dishes, and then they all went back to sleep.

After Chen Hui and Ding Xiaojuan got home, he let his wife lie down and immediately went to heat water to make her a bowl of powdered milk, which he bought with gritted teeth.

"I’m fine, I can still do the housework, I’m not that fragile."

After drinking the milk powder, Ding Xiaojuan immediately started rendering fat, which was top-notch tallow, weighing over ten pounds, something they couldn’t have bought on their own anyway.

"Chen Hui, this tallow is worth over twenty yuan at least."

"It’s fifteen pounds, at a yuan a pound, that’s at least fifteen, we owe them money."

"Yes, they helped us out. I really regret being jealous of Zhao Xiaoli back then and not getting along with her, I never thought she would be the one to help me in the end."

"As long as we repay them in the future, that’s what matters." After rendering the fat, they filled a whole jar, completely full, with two big bowls of lard dregs left over.

Using the oil in the pan, they made noodles. Chen Hui couldn’t bear to eat the vermicelli, saving it for his wife, so he mixed wheat flour and cornmeal to make his own noodles, and even poached an egg for his wife.

They both ate very contentedly; it had been a long time since they had eaten so well.

After eating, they washed up, lay down on the bed, "Tomorrow, I’ll ask the Captain to give you a leave of absence. You shouldn’t work anymore. Nothing is more important than you."
