Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 917 Returns

"Mom, this hat is so cute."

"Isn’t it? I think it’s quite cute. Do you want to try it on?"

Jiang Feifei tried it on her head. "Mom, does it look good?"

"Why don’t you look in the mirror and see for yourself?"

"Wow, really cute."

"Put on the scarf as well."

"Hehe, really warm."

"Glad you like it. Come on, let’s go give them to Jianbin and Shi Jing."

"Are theirs just like this too?"

"No, how can boys wear something like this? But theirs will also keep their ears covered, kind of like ancient warriors’ helmets."

Jiang Feifei didn’t take off her hat and scarf, and followed her mom to Master Shang’s room.

At that moment, the father and son were practicing calligraphy. Shi Jing’s calligraphy was the best among the three of them; even though he’s young now and his wrist lacks strength, the characters he writes are already quite good.

Shi Jing has a great advantage: when he concentrates on doing something, people, objects, and sounds around him don’t disturb his focus.

The mother and daughter entered the room, and Shang Zhenkun looked up and smiled at Jiang Feifei.

Neither the mother nor daughter interrupted Shi Jing, standing aside watching him write.

Jiang Feifei truly admired her big brother for this focus. When he’s concentrating, he isn’t affected by outside distractions.

Once Shi Jing finished his task for the day, he looked up and smiled at his mom and sister.

"Feifei, your hat is really cute."

"Brother, you have one too, hurry over and try it!"

"I also have one? But I’m a boy!"

"What I prepared for you is different from Feifei’s. Come try it on." Jiang Xinyu took out the hat for Shi Jing.

Once Shi Jing put it on, the other three in the room laughed.

"Not bad, quite cute, and warm." Shang Zhenkun nodded with a smile.

"Sister. Does it look good?"

"Looks good, you can go to my room to check in the mirror."

The two kids left, and Jiang Xinyu also smiled as she went out to find Jianbin.

The father-son room was quiet; Jiang Xinyu didn’t disturb them. Better to let them sleep.

Actually, Jianbin was still asleep, but Han Xiangjun was already awake.

He quietly got up upon hearing the commotion outside.

Suddenly hearing Shi Jing’s laughter, when he saw the two adorable kids, Han Xiangjun smiled too.

"Very cute indeed."

"Uncle Han, has Brother Jianbin woken up yet? My mom made hats for the three of us, just waiting for him to try it."

"He’s not awake yet."

Now the two children’s voices quieted. Han Xiangjun once again admired how well the children were taught.

At this moment, Wei Kaiyun and Li Yungui came out.

"Old Han, want to check out our pesticide factory?"

"Sure, let’s go.

Xiao Jiang, Jianbin is still sleeping."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, "I know. I’ll wake him up later; otherwise, he might not be able to sleep tonight."

The three walked and talked. Li Yungui discussed the situation with the raw materials, mostly about whether they could sell out of town; he still remembered Wang Wencheng’s request.

Han Xiangjun listened. He knew that wherever Wei Kaiyun went, he wouldn’t go unnoticed.

The three arrived at the pesticide factory, and Shuanzi opened the door. "Brother Wei, you’re back?"

"Yes, how’s everything?"

"Not bad, now everyone knows how to make corn shakers. Every day, we can produce thirty units."

"That’s good, very good."

The four went into the workshop, and it was really warm inside, with the men stripping to their waists while working with iron.

Lu Tiezhu saw Wei Kaiyun and smiled, knowing his wish was about to come true.

"Xiao Wei, you finally returned."

"Master Lu, how has it been lately?"

"Not bad, everyone is proficient now, so I don’t need to worry much."

"That’s good, tomorrow morning, go to the brigade office, let’s have a meeting to discuss profit-sharing."

"Alright, I’ll come to your place for dinner tonight."

"No problem, you’re very welcome. Shuanzi, you all don’t need to cook, come over to eat."

"Thank you, Brother Wei."

Since entering the pesticide factory, Han Xiangjun was captivated by the corn shaker; he’s not just mingling but has sharp business acumen.

"Xiao Wei, if this sells, there’s a big market for it."

"Yes, it’s a necessity. Why? Are you interested?"

"Yes, prepare five hundred units for me."

"Old Han, why don’t you find a place, supply the materials, I’ll provide the personnel, and we can collaborate? The province pays close attention here, and if you demand large quantities in the future, we might not meet the supply.

We can collaborate with our village, and produce on the Capital side, wouldn’t that work?

Start organizing after the New Year and continue until the autumn harvest; we can surely mass-produce.

Moreover, there’s no significant technical content; I can send a few skilled workers over and you can find some blacksmiths."

"Alright, it’s settled then. Old Yang has a telephone, I’ll drive over to notify home to arrange; this time I’ll return, bringing the craftsmen along with me."

"Go tomorrow, it’s time to prepare for the New Year at home."

"Alright, I’ll leave tomorrow."

Even though Li Yungui is the village chief, he absolutely listens to Wei Kaiyun on this matter. He could easily partner with friends under the village’s name, meaning he doesn’t have to do anything yet can earn money. This is truly a windfall.

"Xiao Wei, what about the pesticide?"

"You can source it from here; try it for a year. If it works, you can ramp up."

"Okay. I’ll arrange things well on that side."

After a loop around, the three exited, not wanting to interrupt the workers.

"Village Chief Li, could you arrange twenty more people to come learn?"

"Alright, I’ll go arrange right away; many have been eager."

Li Yungui left excitedly, practically flying on his feet.

The two returned home, and Wei Kaiyun informed Jiang Xinyu that Shuanzi and ten other people would come for dinner tonight.

"Alright, let’s start stewing the meat now."

Then Du Fengying and the other two got busy.

There’s still half a slab of smoked pork left, and it’s all stewed; with so many people, all young men, their appetite can’t be underestimated.

With so many eating, the white flour and rice at home weren’t enough, so they had to make two-mix dough pancakes. Then steam sorghum rice. All six large stoves at home were used, with Wei Kaiyun in charge of the fire. Han Xiangjun, being a young master, didn’t do anything at all.

The meat was stewed in two pots. The rest isn’t urgent; Du Fengying can just scoop the rice by herself.

Jiang Xinyu prepared the dishes; the sauerkraut was ready, so she stewed it with meat broth, adding some frozen tofu and vermicelli.

Another dish of meat broth cabbage stewed with kelp. Sweet and sour shredded radish.

There could only be four dishes, couldn’t prepare more. With twenty-some people eating, refined meals couldn’t be done.
