Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

The four of them laughed and chatted as they walked on the way home.

As soon as they reached the door, they smelled the rich aroma of meat.

”Mom’s cooking is still as good as ever,” Shi Jing said with a smile.

Han Xiangjun envied Wei Kaiyun for finding such a partner. This is really a matter of luck and fate.

If only he had a wife like her, she would be his most treasured possession.

The door was opened by Chaoyang. ”You’re back. I was just about to come look for you.”

”Brother Chaoyang, do you know where the club is?”

”I don’t know, but don’t we have mouths to ask? Alright, let’s tidy up and take the delicious food to Uncle Lv’s house. We’ll eat over there.”

The three kids had no objections. They all missed Ah Bao and wondered if he missed them.

When they arrived at the Lv Family, the whole family was together. Ah Bao, upon seeing Jiang Xinyu, didn’t want anyone else; only Feifei caught his eye, and he ignored everyone else’s calls, instead resting his head on Jiang Xinyu’s shoulder.

”Xinyu, there are still two platters of offal at home; I’ve already cleaned them.”

”After dinner, have Guodong and Chaoyang bring the old broth over, we’ll braise it this afternoon; we’ll need to eat it in the coming days.”

”Alright, it’s ready.”

”Okay, let Chaoyang chop the meat this afternoon; I’ll make the sausages.”

After dinner, the two young men went to the Jiang Family and brought back a large basin of old broth. They cooked two whole pots, especially the pork head meat, which was tender and aromatic. Ah Bao even ate a couple of bites. Shi Xian ate even more.

In the afternoon, Han Xiangjun took the four older kids to the club. Zhao Xiaoqiang was very curious about it, but he was really no good at ping pong. He felt powerless with ball games. However, the three kids were eager to play.

Wei Kaiyun stayed with the two younger ones, as Shi Xian was throwing a tantrum. He wanted to go with his siblings, but Han Xiangjun had already taken four kids and wouldn’t take him.

Wei Kaiyun didn’t pay attention to his son’s tantrum, instead entertaining Ah Bao.

Shi Xian knew his parents’ temperament, so after a while, he played with the other two kids.

Wei Kaiyun was aware of his youngest son’s temperament needing restraint, so he didn’t give him much attention during these times.

Chaoyang and Guodong went home with Jiang Xinyu; the two young men were very efficient.

Jiang Xinyu secretly took fifty pounds of meat and a bag of starch from the space.

She made enough sausages for all the friends, and the cornstarch sausages were treated the same.

She directed the two youngsters on what to do, while she prepared the seasoning.

”Teacher Jiang, do we need so much of the good stuff?”

”It tastes great because of these seasonings.”

Sausages were hung in the wing room, and cornstarch sausages were steamed in the big pot.

The three were busy for four hours, finally finishing. Cornstarch sausages needed to be opened frequently and poked with needles to release air, so the aroma fascinated the two young men.

Tonight, there’s a dinner to host, so Wei Kaiyun took the two younger ones home.

The couple freshened up and changed the clothes of the two little ones.

”I don’t feel like going,” she said. She felt quite tired that afternoon.

”How can you not go? They’re all people you know.

Honey, let’s go together. After being together for so many years, isn’t it time to let friends and acquaintances find out?”

”Alright, I’ll go, I’ll go, okay? But why aren’t Shi Jing and the others back yet?”

Old Han knows we are going out for dinner tonight, so he’s aware.

”Alright, when we go, let’s bring some cornstarch sausages; this is edible.

Are the two children asleep?”

”They just woke up not long ago. Ah Bao is still sleeping. Otherwise, the three of us wouldn’t have been able to come out.”

”Once he’s awake, it’ll be a ruckus.”

About half an hour later, Han Xiangjun returned with the children. Smelling the aroma, he immediately picked up a piece and broke it in half.

”Tastes great, Xiao Jiang, you really have a knack for cooking.”

”Really? Are you joining us for dinner?”

”No, I’m going to the Lv Family, pack some for me to take over.”

”Guodong and Chaoyang have already brought some back.”

Han Xiangjun nodded, satisfied with that, he could enjoy it tonight.

The family of seven set off, Jiang Xinyu carrying five or six pounds of cornstarch sausage, to be eaten tonight, and the rest for Ding Shihong to take home and taste.

The kids were a bit fed up with going out for dinner every day, but they had to go. After all, these were their parents’ friends, and they needed to know them.

Tonight, Ding Shihong arranged the same as yesterday, with Sun Baosheng bringing the alcohol.

When the family of seven arrived, everyone was already there, looking at Wei Kaiyun holding two round kids, still in a state of confusion.

They had dealt with Wei Kaiyun for several years and knew what kind of person he was.

They also knew Jiang Xinyu, the clever and capable young lady, who impressed them all.

They hadn’t expected the two to get together. When they heard from their secretary that Wei Kaiyun was inviting them to dinner, they were quite surprised.

His troubles were well-known, and yet he managed to come back. Talented people are indeed different; how many can get a reversal?

Seeing their secretaries with a difficult expression, they asked.

Only to find out that Jiang Xinyu’s children’s father was Wei Kaiyun?

This truly shattered everyone’s expectations.

Back when Jiang Xinyu returned with the two kids, they had subtly asked their secretaries, since they knew their relationship with her was good, but nobody knew.

Especially the male secretaries, Jiang Xinyu didn’t say anything, how could they have the nerve to ask?

So everyone was speculating about who Jiang Xinyu’s man was.

The ages of these factory directors were similar; they also had sons ready to start families, and some had thought about wanting Jiang Xinyu as a daughter-in-law. But since she returned with children, they didn’t mention it.

”Xiao Wei, you’re really something,” Sun Baosheng said with a smile, thinking how shameless he was; being so much older than the young girl, and still having the nerve to go for her?

Liang Youfa also chimed in with a smile, ”Indeed! Xiao Wei, did you have the idea to bring Vice Factory Director Jiang in as a secretary?”

Everyone laughed upon hearing Liang Youfa’s words.

Wei Kaiyun smiled and put the two kids down. Jiang Xinyu greeted them.

”Can’t you imagine that maybe Xinyu picked me? I’m not bad, you know?”

”Wei Kaiyun, where’s your shame? It’s the first time I’ve seen you say such things after knowing you for so long,” Shen Shinan teased.

”Indeed! How dare you say such shameless words? Xiao Jiang is smart and pretty, in the prime of her life, and you’re boldly claiming she chose you?”
