Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1047: New Arrivals

"Jing Chu, the sun will be even stronger soon. You should stop picking."Jing Chu put down her hand from the scarf, and had to continue working.

Chaoyang still understood Jing Chu, but it’s normal for girls to care about their appearance.

"Second Brother, have you eaten?"

"I have. Jing Chu, if it really feels uncomfortable, take it off." He still cared about her.

"It’s fine like this, otherwise my sister-in-law and Sister Xiao Li will go on and on. I’m really afraid of those two."

Pan Xiaoying couldn’t help herself and came over, "Comrade Chaoyang, when are you going out? Could you bring something back?"

"Sorry, I don’t have time these days.

You two don’t tire yourselves out, I’ll head over there."

After saying this, Chaoyang turned and left without even a glance at Pan Xiaoying.

Jing Chu is a particularly sensitive girl. Behind her headscarf, a smile appeared on her face. Was she interested in Chaoyang? But what a lousy excuse.

She’s not slow on matters of the heart, she just never paid attention to it for herself, and also she actually didn’t have any male she liked.

In her eyes, there were only family members.

Pan Xiaoying felt embarrassed, especially with so many people watching.

Feeling down, she went back to work. At that moment, everyone pretended not to notice, so as to avoid more awkwardness.

In the afternoon, three trucks arrived, and this time, Captain Jin Erlin also came. Now the Li Family Village is one of the frequent clients for the vehicles.

Since the transportation fee hadn’t been discussed yet, he came mainly to ask Li Yungui for a favor.

All the capable workers came over to load the trucks.

"Captain Jin, what brings you here?" Li Yungui asked with a smile.

"Village Chief Li, I came to ask for your help with something."

Li Yungui was slightly taken aback, then immediately smiled and said, "Captain Jin, just tell me if there’s anything I can help with. There’s no need to ask. If it’s something I can do, there’ll be no problem."

"Village Chief Li, there are three children from my comrade’s family among this batch of educated youth. I’ve already arranged everything, and I’m very sorry for not informing you and just arranging for them to be placed in your village.

I feel it’s inappropriate, so I came to ask Village Chief Li to look after them a bit."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that’s it."

"Captain Jin, if you were asking me to find a way to bring the children over, I’m not capable of that, but I could try. However, since you’ve already arranged it, asking me to take care of them is no problem at all.

Captain Jin, rest assured. Now that they’re in our village, I’ll certainly look after them."

"Thank you so much, Village Chief Li. There are three children, two girls and a boy. They’ve been spoiled at home, so please don’t mind."

"No problem. I’ll do my best."

"Village Chief Li, do you think I could buy a house in the village for them to live in?"

"Captain Jin, there are no vacant houses for sale in the village. Building a house is an option."

"Then I’ll have a house built for them. Their father and I were comrades-in-arms, sharing life-and-death bonds.

Now that they’ve sent their children here, as their uncle, I can’t really help them much elsewhere.

Since there are two girls, living on their own would be more convenient and safe."

"Alright, Captain Jin, I’ll see about getting you a piece of land for a house."

"Village Chief Li, I’m troubling you too much. I won’t go back today; I’ll stay and start managing things tomorrow."

"Alright, no problem."

"Village Chief Li, could the land plot be near your place? I’d feel more assured."

"There’s no more space next to my house.

Captain Jin, it’s not that we have any troublemakers in the village. Don’t worry."

The vehicle-loading speed was incredibly fast. In two hours, the three trucks were loaded and covered with tarps.

This time, Chaoyang and Guodong joined forces, each taking one truck.

Wei Kaiyun gave them a few last words of advice, watched them leave, then mentioned to Li Yungui and Captain Jin that he was heading home.

The next day, Li Yungui found a piece of land on the eastern side of the village for Captain Jin, big enough for a three-room house. "Captain Jin, for building the house, you’ll need to find your own people. As you can see, our capable workers are really tied up."

"Understood, I’ll find the people myself."

"I have a bicycle at home. Captain Jin, if you need it, feel free to use it."

Jin Erlin was very thankful to Li Yungui. "Village Chief Li, I’ll find people. Could you help with purchasing a few loads of stones?"

"No problem, I’ll go check now. For the foundation of these three rooms, we’ll need five truckloads of stones. I reckon it can be delivered in two or three days."

"That’s great, right now, earthen bricks can’t be made fast enough. I’ll go place an order for bricks."

"Captain Jin, actually you’re supposed to care for the three kids as expected, but if it’s too much, it might not be favorable."

Jin Erlin immediately understood Li Yungui’s implication. However, thinking of those two girls’ personalities gave him a headache again.

He might end up offending Li Yungui someday because of them. There’s really no choice, as the elder squad leader requested it, no matter the difficulty.

"Village Chief Li, earthen bricks aren’t fast enough now, it’s better to build with bricks."

Li Yungui was indifferent; he had already hinted, but since the other party wasn’t willing to listen, there was nothing more to do.

The two of them acted separately, sorting out bricks and stones.

Jiushang and his group of four were already halfway done planting in Jin Family Village. Their tractor accompanied them, plowing and planting.

In other villages, the wheat harvest was also in. Knowing that Li Yungui had a good relationship with Wang Shulin, they learned that Jin Family Village was nearing the end of their second sowing, so Zheng Family Village and Liu Family Village came to find Li Yungui.

"No problem, we’ll head to Jin Family Village together and let them go directly to your place."

"Do you know if Wang Shulin’s tractor can do the work?"

Li Yungui knew that Wang Shulin was currently short on money and would certainly agree. "Let’s just ask and see?"

He didn’t take the donkey cart, instead going to borrow Wei Kaiyun’s bicycle, as returning it would also be inconvenient.

Upon hearing their idea, Wang Shulin thought it over, and agreed.

"By tomorrow afternoon, it can be completed. Which village should we go to first?"

"Our village has more land, so we’ll take two tractors."

Zheng Jixian didn’t argue. "Alright, let’s do that. I’ll go back and wait."

"Why don’t the three of you stay for a meal before leaving?"

"There’s no time. We’ve already been out for half a day. I’m uneasy about the work back home." In the end, Li Yungui didn’t stay, but he didn’t leave with them either. Instead, he went to the fields to check on the four kids at home.

He gave them some advice, telling them to go directly to Liu Family Village for work.

Li Yungui headed straight to the Wei Family. He discussed the matter of Jin Erlin with Old Yang and the others.

"Village Chief Li, you might have more headaches in the future."

Li Yungui smiled wryly. He had already guessed that the three coming might not be easy to get along with.
