Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1052: Mentality

The female educated youth who came with Mingzhu from Liu Family Village, Zhu Xiaochun, was utterly stunned.It took her a while to react, and she hurried over, "Mingzhu, is what he said true? You’re really married?"

Zheng Mingzhu tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Zhu Zhiqing, this is my husband, Xu Chunshan.

This is Zhu Xiaochun, the educated youth who joined us in the countryside."

The two asked each other awkwardly, Zhu Xiaochun wanted to ask more but saw that Zheng Mingzhu wasn’t looking at her, so she left awkwardly.

This God of Wealth went out once and got married?

She knows that many people were thinking about her, whether for money or for herself. Now their hopes are dashed.

She doesn’t even know how to stir things up back home. But Zheng Mingzhu is really a fool, getting married is such a big deal, how can it be so hasty?

But if people don’t want to bother with her, don’t put on a hot face to someone else’s cold butt.

"What do you all want?"

"I’m waiting now. I want to eat white rice, but there isn’t any," Pan Xiaoying said pitifully.

They are all from the South, so they are used to eating rice. Now every day it’s sorghum, corn, sweet potato flour buns, pancakes, and they’ve really had enough.

They used to complain, but from today on, they’ll never despise it again. Compared with other educated youths, they are already very fortunate.

"Mingzhu, you wait, I’ll go see what there is to eat."

Zheng Mingzhu nodded and sat there obediently.

Xu Chunshan finally ordered two bowls of white flour noodles, and two mixed flour buns. Plus a portion of garlic sprouts fried with meat.

The last time the six of them came over, they ordered their own, so he didn’t order much, just enough for the two of them to eat.

Now, all meals have to be waited for; there’s no help for it, there are too many people eating today. Luckily, the buns are ready, otherwise, it would really be a problem.

All the educated youths are quite anxious, afraid of going back too late. But they also can’t go back hungry.

After waiting for a full half hour, they finally had lunch.

All six ordered the same, except they didn’t order stir-fried dishes.

But this garlic sprout fried meat could be said to be garlic sprout fried garlic sprout.

After finishing their meal, Xu Chunshan and Zheng Mingzhu found Zhu Xiaochun.

"Zhu Zhiqing, please ask for leave for me and the captain today. I need to visit my husband’s place; I’ll return tomorrow."

"Mingzhu, you’d better write a note. Please trouble Zhu Zhiqing to hand it to the captain. I’ll go back with you tomorrow."

Zheng Mingzhu thought for a moment, smiled, took out a notebook from her backpack, and wrote that she got married today and would return tomorrow. Zhu Xiaochun saw the marriage certificate Zheng Mingzhu took out and knew this girl really got married.

"Thank you, Zhu Zhiqing."

"It’s no trouble, I’ll definitely deliver it to the captain as soon as I return."

All the educated youths boarded the bus, all at the same time, so there were no seats. Those who didn’t squeeze on at the start had no seat.

Xu Chunshan had to protect Zheng Mingzhu as the two stood holding the back of a seat.

With too many people on the bus, it wasn’t convenient to talk.

After swaying for an hour, they finally arrived at the township. Everyone got off the bus.

Along the way, the four female educated youths quietly chatted, while Shen Youjun felt particularly awkward, as he was alone. The couples were walking together. Although they weren’t talking, they were walking closely, and he felt embarrassed to approach them.

Zheng Mingzhu followed them for about forty minutes before entering Li Family Village.

This was completely different from what she imagined; instead of low thatched huts, the courtyard walls were made of sticks or corn stalks, looking particularly shabby.

But she said nothing. There was only one Li Family Village, so there was no mistake.

There was no exaggeration about how good Li Family Village was supposed to be.

The main thing was that the crops along the way looked exceptional. They appeared lush green.

"I’ll go find Village Chief Li first, you all go back."

The other five nodded, while Zheng Mingzhu followed behind Xu Chunshan.

Li Yungui wasn’t home today; Qu Xiaoli was cooking.

"Auntie, where’s Village Chief Li? I have an urgent matter for him."

Qu Xiaoli saw the girl behind Xu Chunshan, someone she didn’t recognize.

"Who is this, Xu Zhiqing?"

"Auntie, this is Zheng Mingzhu, Zheng Zhiqing. She was assigned to Liu Family Village. We got the marriage certificate today."

Qu Xiaoli understood why Xu Chunshan was looking for her husband.

"You two should wait at the brigade office. I’ll have someone call him over."

"Thank you, Auntie."

The two left the Li home together and went directly to wait at the brigade office.

Li Yungui was at the chicken farm. Today they reported they started laying eggs, which was a surprise.

Li Yungui eagerly went to the chicken farm and saw a basket of eggs collected. Though small in size, there were about fifty to sixty in that basket.

Kneeling on the ground, holding an egg, Li Yungui smiled. On the first day alone, there were fifty to sixty eggs. Once all the hens were laying normally, there would surely be over two hundred eggs.

A pound of eggs weighed around eight or nine, meaning twenty-some pounds of eggs per day.

Each egg sold to the supply and marketing cooperative fetched about five cents, making it ten yuan a day. Surely, with so many every day, it was a profitable business either way.

And now the roosters were about two and a half pounds each, with over two hundred large roosters.

Li Yungui was filled with thoughts of money, feeling like he had mountains of gold and silver.

"Everyone’s been working hard; this period must be closely monitored."

As he was speaking, the children Cheng Lin and Hongling came over.

They knew the rules, calling from outside the door.

Li Yungui asked them to carry the eggs inside, then came out.

"What’s up?"

"Dad, Mom told you to go to the brigade office; Xu Zhiqing brought Liu Family Village’s educated wife over."

Li Yungui was stunned hearing this. Went out for a trip and brought back a wife?

"Alright, I got it."

They didn’t go home but instead wanted to follow and check out the excitement.

Li Yungui turned and glared at them, "Go back; you haven’t finished your tome story yet. If you can’t recite it tonight, you’ll get a spank tomorrow morning."

The two boys, hearing this, immediately turned around and ran back.

When Li Yungui arrived at the brigade office, he saw Xu Chunshan and a female comrade standing at the door waiting.

Seeing Li Yungui approach, Xu Chunshan immediately went to greet him.

"Village Chief Li."

Li Yungui nodded.

"Village Chief Li, this is my wife. We got our marriage certificate today."

Zheng Mingzhu smiled and greeted Li Yungui, "Village Chief Li, hello. I’m Zheng Mingzhu, an educated youth assigned to Liu Family Village."

"Mm, congratulations to both of you. Let’s go inside to talk if there’s anything else."
