Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Reunion

Yanli was anxious, ”How could it be more convenient than home?”

”Alright, let’s not argue. There are many of us, and the kids are grown up now; they can’t sleep together.”

This time, Yanli didn’t say anything, Yuanyuan had a point.

”Yuanyuan, I didn’t expect you to come, it really is a pleasant surprise.”

”Are you that happy?” Su Yuanyuan asked with a smile.

Zhao Yanli nodded vigorously, ”Of course! You have no idea how much I’ve missed you. We’ve been apart for ten years and haven’t seen each other once.

You know, every time I wrote to you, I eagerly awaited your reply.”

Su Yuanyuan felt a bit embarrassed, ”The address I gave you wasn’t where I worked, I couldn’t receive mail there. It was where we were at first.”

”Yuanyuan, I knew that, I was just worried you wouldn’t get my letters, and I didn’t dare to call you. I called your work once, and my boss talked to me about it, asking me why I would call such a place?

At the post office, the operator looked at me curiously.

Eventually, I realized the number you gave me was special, so I stopped calling. I thought unless it was something special, I’d just write to you. Even if it was slow, it was okay.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”My workplace was indeed special.”

”My sister is amazing, she can get in the newspapers. I was so excited when I saw you that I wanted to tell everyone that you were my sister.

But my brother-in-law and Xiao Bing told me not to speak nonsense, in case it caused trouble for you.”

”Haha, you won’t have that chance in the future. Our whole family has resigned, we’re just ordinary people now.

But it might be a bit troublesome for you to find me in the future. I won’t return to the Capital, but I’ll leave you a number. If there’s really something special, you can call him. Don’t worry, he will surely help you.”

This time Yanli was anxious, ”Yuanyuan, where are you going?”

”Our family will just travel around the country. Maybe if we like a place, we’ll settle there. I’ll write to you then.”

”Yuanyuan, can’t you just stay?”

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, ”We won’t stay. We’re taking the kids out to see the world.”

”Ah, I really envy you. Your whole family can be together.”

Su Yuanyuan just smiled, thinking to herself that her sacrifices were not something to be envied.

”Yuanyuan, I’ve taken leave. I’m going back to cook. You must be tired from the journey, so rest for a while. Come to my house for dinner tonight, you haven’t seen my two kids yet.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, ”Alright, we’ll have dinner at your place tonight.”

In fact, Zhao Yanli didn’t want to leave, but Yuanyuan’s visit was too sudden, and she wasn’t prepared at all at home.

Tan Shaoting watched as Yanli left in a hurry, ”You two have a strong bond.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled, ”Yes, it’s pretty good. Back then, our families lived next to each other. When I first came, I had my own two acres of land.

Back then, I worked in the fields every day, and we gradually got to know each other.”

Tan Shaoting naturally knew that his wife took special care of the Zhao family when she was at the farm. At the time, he thought his wife kept a distance from others.

Now, thinking back, maybe they were just destined to have a connection with the Zhao family?

Qi Yan and the other two went around the building, just buying some stationery. They had everything else like fabric, rice, flour, oil, and meat in their space.

”Big brother, I think life here is much less affluent than in the Capital.”

”It sure is.”

After returning, the three siblings entered their respective spaces to freshen up a bit, as they really didn’t want to do it outside.

Yanli hurried off to the supply and marketing cooperative. Today, she was lucky enough to find two pounds of meat, though it was lean, it was still meat.

The Zhou couple was still napping, having to wake up early every morning. They couldn’t do without their midday nap.

They looked at their daughter-in-law bringing the meat home. ”Xiao Li, what’s this?”

”Mom, Dad, my sister Su Yuanyuan is here. Her whole family is here, and they’ll have dinner at our place tonight.”

”Xiao Li, isn’t this meat a bit scant? I’ll go and slaughter two roosters.”

Yanli nodded, ”That would be great. I’ve been craving those big roosters but just haven’t had the heart to suggest eating them.”

The family of three started getting busy.

”Xiao Li, Xiao Bing came back for lunch, he returned in the morning.”

Yanli laughed, ”He has a real knack for timing. Is my brother-in-law back yet?”

”Everyone is back, Xiao Bing said he could stay for a week.”

Though Yanli spoke nonchalantly, the smile on her face was unmistakable.

Her husband had been away driving for over a week, but he was finally back.

She looked at the ingredients and thought it was still not enough, but there wasn’t much else available.

She soaked some sheets of dried bean curd skin, thinking Yuanyuan, that girl, might like to eat some of it.

Zhou Yongbing got back half an hour earlier than usual, since there wasn’t much going on with the motorcade.

Even from a distance, he could smell the aroma of meat, thinking to himself how nice it was to be home. Was the family cooking meat for him?

Back home, he saw his wife was actually there.

”Xiao Li, did you know I was coming back and took a day off?”

A husband and wife of many years. ”You’re dreaming.

Zhou Yongbing, Yuanyuan, Su Yuanyuan came to visit me.”

Zhou Yongbing was momentarily stunned but quickly realized who his wife was referring to.

”Haha, that’s great for sure.”

”Zhou Yongbing, their whole family of seven is back.

Do you think there’s not enough food?”

Zhou Yongbing thought for a moment, ”I’ll go out to see what else we have.”

”If you see Brother-in-law, let him know too. And tell Xiao Ling and them to come over for dinner.”

Zhou Yongbing hurried off.

Su Yuanyuan saw the time was about right, and Qi Yan and their family drove to the Zhang Family.

Su Yuanyuan knew where Zhang Fusheng’s family lived back then.

Zhou Yongbing went directly to the workplace to find Big Sister-in-law, Zhao Yanping, who, after hearing the news, hurried back to request leave.

When she got home, Zhang Fusheng was tidying up the house, having also received the news.

Hai Yan saw her mom come home and mentioned Qi Yan and the others’ visit.

”Mom, my aunt and their family should be arriving soon too.”

Zhao Yanping was all smiles, ”Yes, they will certainly come, Hai Yan, are you feeling better?”

”Much better.”

Zhao Yanping had no choice; the child hadn’t suffered much when she was young. How did she end up with this problem! They consulted many doctors, all saying it would improve after she got married.

Zhang Fusheng looked at his wife’s excitement and knew she was too thrilled.

Over the years, he still had an impression of Su Yuanyuan, a very capable person.

When Jianhua and the other two returned, Zhao Yanping immediately told them to freshen up. The two kids never appeared neat and tidy when they got back.

When Su Yuanyuan returned, she ran into Zhang Xinhua, who still remembered her.

”Aunt Su?”

Su Yuanyuan didn’t dare recognize him at first, but she soon realized it was Zhang Fusheng’s eldest son.

”Xinhua, right?”
