Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

”Yu Jie, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

”Alright, I’ll come pick you up. Are Shihao and Sijia coming along too?”

”Yes, I’ll bring both of them.”

After putting down the phone, Liu Hong curiously asked, ”Who’s coming back?”

”It’s someone familiar from the Li Family Village, the place where Yu Jie and Zhenyu used to live. They’re from the Capital too, so we’ll visit them together tomorrow.”

Liu Hong looked down on outsiders, but she didn’t say much.

”Sijia, your Sister Feifei and Sister Tingting are coming over.”

”Mom, are we going to see Sister Tingting? I want to play with her.”

”Sure, I’ll take you to see them tomorrow.”

The little girl laughed, ”I want to bring chocolates for Sister Tingting. Back then, she always gave us her chocolates to eat.”

”Okay,” Tao YanZhen said with a smile.

”Sijia, the chocolates we have are good ones.”

Tao YanZhen frowned on the side. This mother-in-law of hers really didn’t get it. The kids definitely shouldn’t be with her; she might lead them astray.

This absolutely won’t do. The kids are still young and impressionable, easily influenced.

Tao YanZhen furrowed her brows, unsure what to do about this. She was worried about ruining her relationship with her mother-in-law, but she certainly wouldn’t let this affect the children.

The next day Yang Yujie came over. The two rode bicycles, with gifts on the rear seats, and Yang Zhenyu carried a box on his. The two kids sat on the front crossbars.

”Yu Jie, would I manage if I lived on my own?”

”Aunt?”

Tao YanZhen recounted the previous night’s conversation to Yang Yujie, saying, ”My kids definitely can’t be like that.”

”Aunt, this isn’t easy. If you move out, for whatever reason, your relationship with her will sour.”

”If that’s the case, I’ll just return to my hometown. Absolutely not like this.”

Yang Yujie stayed silent, thinking that they were a family, and it’s inappropriate for others to interfere.

Tao YanZhen thought going back to her hometown was quite nice; there wasn’t anyone thoughtless like this there. The kids are most important.

When they arrived at the Wei Family, they found the gate closed, and Yang Yujie called out.

Shang Zhenkun saw them and invited them in with a smile.

”Master Shang, where’s Feifei?”

”She’s tidying up her books. Wait a moment, I’ll call her.”

”Sister, Aunt Yang, how did you know we came back? I was thinking of coming over after tidying up.”

”Sister, Sister Feifei.”

Jiang Feifei squatted down with a smile and held the twins’ hands.

”Shihao, Sijia, we meet again.”

”Sister, you finally came. Where’s Sister Tingting?”

”Those two are writing, they’ll be out soon. Why don’t we wait for them?”

The two kids nodded obediently. They knew not to disturb when someone was studying.

Jiang Feifei led them to the living room and cut watermelon for the kids.

”Feifei, where’s Aunt Zhang?” Yang Yujie asked as she watched Feifei work.

”Aunt Zhang is needed more at Uncle Yang’s place.”

Yang Yujie nodded, indeed. There’s still a kid who’s not even a year old, right?

”Feifei, how are you adjusting here?” Tao YanZhen asked with a smile.

”It’s alright, I don’t really like going out anyway.”

”Feifei, these are from Brother for you.” Yang Zhenyu entered, carrying a box.

Jiang Feifei knew it must be books. She’s gotten used to it, and records every book received to reimburse Yang Run Tai later.

”Feifei, where’s Shi Xian?”

”He’s practicing at the back. You can go find him.”

Zhenyu nodded with a smile and took little tail Shihao to the back.

”Feifei, your house is really nice.”

”Haha, my mom bought it over ten years ago. Uncle Han comes by periodically to upkeep it.”

”Teacher Jiang is truly impressive.”

”Mom said she just bought it because she had the money, and she likes it here.”

”Feifei, I know someone who grows flowers. Should I take you to meet them this afternoon?”

”That would be wonderful. Mom loves flowers, but she’s not good at keeping them. I think I can do it, I’m more meticulous than her.

Aunt Yang. How are you adapting?”

”Not bad, I can manage anywhere, but I’m starting to wish to return to my hometown.”

”Aunt. The exams are likely this year; hold on a bit longer, then you can apply for universities away and take Shihao and Sijia with you, isn’t that right?

If you go back now, grandpa definitely won’t agree.”

Tao YanZhen knew this too but was just feeling upset.

Feifei never gossiped about such things, preferring to chat with Sijia.

”Sister Feifei, this is chocolate for you.”

”Thank you, Sijia, but sister doesn’t eat these. You also should eat less, otherwise, your teeth might hurt. Let me tell you, your brother Shi Xian had a toothache for a long time back then. Haven’t you noticed he doesn’t eat sweets now?”

”Really?”

”Of course, it’s not that you can’t eat them, but you should eat less. You can make a plan for yourself.”

Tao YanZhen sat back and watched this radiant young girl politely speak.

”Feifei, you’re fourteen, right?”

Jiang Feifei nodded with a smile, ”Yes, I’ll officially be fourteen in October.”

”Feifei, do you know if there’s an age limit for this exam?”

”If there is, I’ll just wait until I’m old enough to take it. It’s no big deal.”

”Feifei, your attitude is really great.”

”What else can I do? If I can take the exam, I will; if not, I’ll just wait.”

”Feifei, my house has a piano. I’m no good at it; would you like me to bring it over so you can learn?”

Jiang Feifei could already play and was quite good.

”No need, I’ll just buy my own.”

”Feifei, if you want to learn, I can introduce a great piano teacher to you.”

”That sounds great. Do you know where I can buy a piano?”

”Check out the building. Mine is an old one.”

”Alright, I’ll ask my dad to look for it.”

”Hehe, whatever you want, Uncle Wei will surely get it for you.”

At that moment, Tingting and Shi Xian both came out. They had finished practicing their calligraphy for the day.

”Brother, wait for me.”

Shi Xian turned his head, ”Tingting, it seems Brother Zhenyu and the others have arrived. I’ll go to the back, you should head to the front.”

”How do you know?”

”I just heard the voices of Shihao and Brother Zhenyu.”

Tingting went to the front living room and indeed found Yang Yujie and the others there.

”Sister Tingting.” Sijia ran over excitedly.

Jiang Tingting pulled Sijia’s hand with a smile, bringing her into the living room.

”Aunt Yang, Sister Yujie.”

”Tingting has grown taller again,” Yang Yujie said with a smile.

”But I’m still a lot shorter than my brother.”

”He’s a boy and you’re a girl, so you won’t be as tall as him. You should compare yourself with yourself.”

”Haha, I know that, but I think I’ll be the shortest in the family.”

”I’m the same; I’m the shortest in my family. Look how much taller Zhenyu is than me. We’re eating the same food!”
