Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1239: Back to the Farm

Tan Shaoting took over Qi Hao and Qi Xuan. "How does it feel?"

"Just feels like stepping into a mud hut."

The four father and sons laughed upon hearing this. Indeed, everything was made of black soil; from the outside, only the door frame and window frames were wooden, the rest was all soil.

"Let’s go, we’ll be living here for a while," Yuanyuan said with a laugh.

This is the new house, but Feng Baoshan really put some effort into it. Upon opening the door, there were pots on both stoves, even lids. Beside it were shelves for bowls and a new kang table.

Upon entering, they saw the kang bed had already dried. It appeared that Feng Baoshan had come to light the kang, with the new kang mat rolled up and placed on the side.

Yuanyuan smiled, took over Qi Hao and Qi Xuan, and placed them into the space.

"Let’s start tidying up."

The four fathers and sons watched their wife and mother looked excited, something Qi Yan and the other three couldn’t understand.

Actually, what was there to tidy up? A wave of the hand would suffice. But Yuanyuan preferred not to do it that way, choosing instead to tidy by manual labor.

They tidied wherever something was missing, she would bring it out.

Just like that, these three rooms were soon tidied up by the five people.

Yuanyuan was catching the mood. "I’ll cook for you, what would you like to eat?"

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were lying on the kang bed. They were over three months old and couldn’t stay still, so Qi Wen was accompanying them.

"Mom, can we have pancakes?"

"No problem, I’ll start kneading dough right away. Tan Shaoting, you make congee."

They were all brand new cast iron pans, the task of scrubbing the pots was left to Tan Shaoting.

Feng Baoshan hurriedly ate lunch after arriving home.

"Why are you in such a rush?" his wife asked.

"Tan Shaoting and Yuanyuan returned and came to find me at the field headquarters earlier. I told them to come home for a meal, but they didn’t come by, so I’m checking to see if they need anything else."

Xiao Cui, Feng Baoshan’s wife, looked at him, conflicted. "If they are so capable, can’t we ask them to help us leave here?"

Feng Baoshan sighed, "Let’s see how it goes."

At the moment, he didn’t want to leave, having made achievements here, and this year’s medicinal herbs were also quite good; leaving now felt too much like giving up.

But it’s not easy for the couple to come back for a visit. Asking for favors is best done face-to-face, calling makes it even more complicated.

Moreover, they have resigned, and while their relationships are still fresh, if time drags on, they fear these connections might not be of use.

"You go and get some vegetables; I’ll take them over. They said they have grain."

As Feng Baoshan drove the cart, he pondered the issue; it’s truly challenging.

As he drove, he just happened to run into Xu Hongbing.

"Director Feng, what are you up to?"

"Xiao Tan and Xiao Su are back, I’m going over to deliver some vegetables and eggs."

Xu Hongbing was aware that the family was returning as well.

When building the house, Feng Baoshan did not try to hide it.

Lately, Xu Hongbing has been a bit uneasy, mostly due to being wary of Yuanyuan; that woman is formidable. He was nearby when she dealt with the Xiang Family.

Although he is now back together with Zhao Xiaojing and they have a daughter, who knows what Yuanyuan might do?

"I better go tell Xiaojing and the others."

Feng Baoshan nodded, and drove the cart away.

As he arrived at the doorway, he caught the scent of delicious pancakes.

Qi Hong saw Feng Baoshan arriving and smiled as she stepped forward to greet him, "Director Feng, please come in."

"You must be Qi Hong, I brought over some vegetables for you."

"Thank you, Director Feng."

Feng Baoshan smiled as he carried in two baskets. Qi Hong received them happily without being formal.

Though he doesn’t possess the Mind Reading Technique, he suspected that anyone showing such warmth to his family must have an underlying request.

He knew that Mom and Dad would definitely take care of it, so it was better not to refuse such gestures.

Upon seeing the couple cooking, Feng Baoshan found it hard to imagine them working in an office setting.

Suddenly, he felt conflicted about leaving—it’s just that his wife and kids at home might not be willing.

Yuanyuan heard Feng Baoshan’s thoughts. Actually, if he opened up, she would certainly help him; Feng Baoshan was indeed capable.

"Director Feng, have a seat inside." Tan Shaoting invited him in with a smile.

Yuanyuan saw her son coming in with vegetables and eggs.

"Perfect timing, Qi Hong, you pick the chives. Chive and egg pancakes are the perfect match."

Upon hearing Yuanyuan’s words, Feng Baoshan felt a weight lifted from his heart; this was good.

Qi Yan came out to help dad, Tan Shaoting and Feng Baoshan headed inside.

Upon entering, he saw everything had already been tidied and arranged. It immediately felt like a home.

Qi Wen was seated on the kang bed; Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were leaning against her legs—this was their favorite position.

"Hello, Director Feng."

Feng Baoshan found himself marveling once again, what luck did they have? Each child was outstanding.

"Director Feng, have a seat on the kang bed."

"Xiao Tan, I truly admire your family’s kids. I have never seen such beautiful children before."

These were Feng Baoshan’s sincere thoughts, truly enviable.

Tan Shaoting’s smile carried a sense of pride; it was affirmation as a man. When someone praises one’s children, the parents naturally feel proud.

"Xiao Tan, I won’t keep you from your meal. If you need anything, just come find me."

"Alright, Director Feng, the same goes for you. If anything comes up, feel free to speak up. We’ll only be staying for about a month."

Tan Shaoting knew Feng Baoshan must have a request, and they would definitely help. Might as well give him reassurance now.

Hearing this, Feng Baoshan felt assured. He planned to go home and discuss it with his family. The kids were already grown, asking the couple for such a favor couldn’t solely be his decision.

He’d also been arranging work over the past years. If things were difficult, they’d let the kids become ordinary workers; of course, if better jobs could be arranged, that would be preferable.

"Good, thank you Xiao Tan. I’ll head back now, I have work. Rest up, I’ll come by tonight to deliver more vegetables." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

As he spoke, he walked out; by this time, Yuanyuan had finished cooking.

"Would Director Feng like to eat a little?"

"Thank you, Xiao Su, but I can’t; I need to get to work. It’s been a tiring journey, so you should rest."

Qi Yan and Qi Hong accompanied Feng Baoshan outside.

Xu Hongbing watched as Feng Baoshan drove away, then headed home.

Zhao Xiaojing was feeding the daughter. "Who were you talking to just now?"

"Director Feng, Xiaojing, Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting are back."

Zhao Xiaojing, while feeding the baby, looked up, "Did you just see them?"

Xu Hongbing shook his head, "No, Director Feng went to deliver eggs and vegetables to them. Xiaojing, should we also deliver some grain and vegetables?"

Zhao Xiaojing nodded; while she’s not particularly clever, she understands that it’s because Yuanyuan is capable that Xu Hongbing is being so cautious.
