Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1011: Preparations

New book "Reborn: Not Your Perfect Wife" is looking for collection!The next day, the six of them went to the chicken farm after breakfast to find Li Cunshan since allocating work was the Captain’s job.

When Li Cunshan saw them, he frowned a little but didn’t say anything unpleasant. He just asked them to get their tools and go haul soil with Jiushang.

This task wasn’t urgent, so taking their time was fine. They had plenty of time to waste. The foundation site couldn’t keep them there, as Yun Gui was right, they couldn’t disrupt the current workers.

"You all go wait at the brigade, follow the tractor to haul soil, you’re responsible for loading and unloading."

They knew the village had a tractor. Such tractors weren’t common in just any village.

When Jiushang saw a few of them, he told them to get on the vehicle. Today, they mainly needed to haul several loads of sand, which was easier to shovel than soil.

The six of them obediently got on the tractor. As it started moving, they all thought, how great it would be to ride the tractor to the town. But they also knew it was just wishful thinking.

When they arrived at the sand pit, Jiushang demonstrated for them, and they began loading the vehicle.

After being stimulated yesterday, they all worked diligently today.

Once a vehicle was loaded, the six got on with their tools, as people were needed to unload as well.

Li Cunshan didn’t expect them to be so fast. Only after asking Jiushang did he realize they were working competently today.

After the second load was unloaded, Li Cunshan told them to go back, rest, and have lunch, and return at 1:30.

For this group of people, it’s Qu Xiaoli who cooked meals for them, so it was sort of covered by the public. Actually, according to Li Yungui’s thought, they should eat while working, but Li Cunshan wasn’t willing, so they were sent back.

By the end of the day, the four female educated youths were too exhausted to lift their arms. Xu Chunshan’s group was slightly better, but they were also extremely tired.

In the evening, Li Yungui came back with a truckload of goods, which included the vitamin powder, terramycin, and fishmeal that Old Yang had sourced from the seaside.

Originally it was supposed to be dried fish, but due to a lack of electricity in the village, there was no electric grinder. Old Yang paid a bit extra to have them send over a truckload of fish bone powder directly.

Li Yungui directly stored all of this in the pesticide factory’s empty dormitories, specifically hung up to prevent rats from ravaging it.

Many chicken coops had already been built. However, Jiang Xinyu said it wasn’t enough and asked Lu Tiezhu to make more.

The chicken farm was almost completely prepared. They were just waiting for the construction to be completed, and then they could start raising chicks.

Spring planting wasn’t far off, and Zhao Xiaoli was also due to give birth in a month. Now, Old Yang didn’t go anywhere, just staying with his wife.

They also decided to go to the county hospital for the delivery, which was more convenient.

Zhao Xiaoli was quite happy during this period since Old Yang was always with her, and she was in better spirits than Old Yang himself.

They decided that Du Fengying should accompany them to the hospital. After all, she was capable and had taken care of Jiang Xinyu, so she had experience.

But plans never keep up with changes, and Du Fengying found out she was pregnant a few days later. This news made Lu Tiezhu ecstatic. He thought he was destined to be a loner, and even after getting married, considering their age, he didn’t expect his wife to be pregnant.

After dinner, Lu Tiezhu found Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang. "I don’t mind you laughing at me, but I care a lot about this child, so I won’t let Fengying go to the hospital. Old Yang, I’m really sorry."

Old Yang understood him, recalling how he felt when he learned about his own wife’s pregnancy.

"Master Lu, it’s alright. We understand. Isn’t Sister Zhang still at home?"

"Thank you both for understanding. I just want her at home, under my watchful eye, so I can feel at ease."

Both nodded, having had similar thoughts before.

However, Du Fengying felt great. Having lived with Xiao Jiang for two years, she knew pregnancy wasn’t about lying still. So she told Jiang Xinyu she’d still come around to work.

Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, "Congratulations to Sister Du."

"Haha, I didn’t expect it. If it weren’t for feeling unwell suddenly and seeing a doctor, I wouldn’t know I’m pregnant. I thought at my age, I couldn’t conceive anymore."

"Well, now you know!"

"Actually, Xiao Jiang, I should thank you guys. If not for the good food at your place, I might not have had the chance to conceive. The doctor said my health is excellent, and the child inside is very strong."

Jiang Xinyu was happy to hear this, not because she enjoyed flattery, but because she thought Du Fengying was sensible. Now Shi Xian and Tingting could stand up, and they were close to walking. School lessons were ending soon, so taking care of the two children and cooking at home wasn’t a problem.

"Sister Du, it’s no problem at all."

Later, Du Fengying shared tips with Zhang Qiu’e on taking care of mothers and infants, so they wouldn’t be at a loss in the hospital.

Jiang Xinyu and Wei Kaiyun gave Old Yang and his wife a lot of advice.

"Xinyu, I’ve remembered everything," Zhao Xiaoli said with a smile.

The family was preparing hospital supplies for Zhao Xiaoli. Old Yang decided to come back daily to get meals.

"Old Yang, that’s really unnecessary. We’ll only be in the hospital for a few days. Isn’t Sister Zhang there? The hospital also has a canteen, just buy some food."

"It’s not like we lack the means. I wouldn’t want your diet subpar after you’ve given birth."

"Really, there’s no need, that’s too much trouble."

"It’s no trouble; it’s not convenient to cook broths there, so please let Xiao Jiang prepare it for me. I’ll pick it up in the mornings."

Though Zhao Xiaoli said this, she was very happy inside. What woman wouldn’t want her man to spoil her like this?

The next day, Old Yang went out and brought back ten pig trotters and a few carp, though they were frozen, not live. There were also a few live old hens, which would be killed by Xiao Wei when needed.

Jing Chu clicked her tongue in amazement, "Uncle Yang is really pampering Sister Xiaoli too much."

Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "Yes, Jing Chu, when you look for a man in the future, make sure he values you."

"Me? I don’t even know yet."

"Jing Chu, Guodong has already found someone. Aren’t you envious?"

"Haha, I’m really not envious. What’s so good about that? Being stuck together all the time, always lovey-dovey, it’s uncomfortable to watch."

Jiang Xinyu felt that Jing Chu’s thoughts were problematic after hearing her words.

"Jing Chu, actually having a boyfriend is nice. Everyone feels lonely sometimes, and being together is not just for anything specific. It’s a kind of attachment, a spiritual dependency, a bond. Jing Chu, your way of thinking is really off, and this won’t do," Jiang Xinyu said earnestly.
