Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 242: 242 at a glance

”I don’t know either, but when I go, I’ll definitely look for you.”

Once the train started moving, Yuanyuan lay down in the carriage. She was very cautious, and didn’t feel at ease leaving her belongings outside.

So she decided to get off the train after a couple of stops to put away her things properly.

Having made up her mind, she took action. After the train stopped at night, she got off right away, spending twenty minutes just moving her stuff.

On the platform, looking at her belongings scattered around, she was really worried.

Just then, a staff member approached her.

”Comrade, is there anything you need help with?”

Yuanyuan understood the local language, and she was dressed in the local attire.

”Comrade, I need a cart. Can you help me borrow one, or maybe help me buy one?”

”Alright, wait a moment, I’ll go buy one for you. There’s a place selling them next to the train station.”

”Comrade, wait, how much does one cost? I have money with me.”

”You can pay later yourself.”

This young man was quite efficient in handling tasks.

Ten minutes later, he came back with a cart and even helped Yuanyuan load her things onto it.

Yuanyuan thanked him and went with him to pay.

”Comrade, be careful, it’s not safe here at night, head home quickly.”

Yuanyuan nodded, thanked him again, and left.

The latter half of the night, there wasn’t anyone on the road, just the sound of the rubber wheels on the ground.

She walked for a few miles, and once she felt it was safe, she stored away the cart, feeling relieved.

Wow, this feels like being a thief. She had no idea where this place was, but it seemed about right. After all, her requirements were the same.

She then entered her space, leisurely enjoying her time there.

She knew she had to wait three days for the next train.

So the next day she went to the city to purchase rice.

This time she traded it with pork and exchanged for five hundred pounds in a day. Here, transactions could be done freely, so there was no need for sneaky dealings.

That night, she stored the rice away and rested in her space.

Over the next two days, she exchanged for three thousand pounds of rice. Now she could go out and trade this rice. She really couldn’t bear to trade the rice she had in her space, she wanted to keep it for herself.

After buying a train ticket, she behaved and just waited in the waiting hall.

When she got on the train, she suddenly felt something and looked at the incoming train.

In an instant, she saw Tan Shaoting. The two of them looked at each other from afar.

Yuanyuan saw Tan Shaoting say a few words to the people next to him, then he jumped off the train, quickly boarded, and grabbed Yuanyuan’s hand.

”The train is about to start. Can you stay?”

Tan Shaoting held Yuanyuan’s hand. ”Which carriage are you in?”

Yuanyuan didn’t pull away; it had been over a year since they last met. He had changed so much.

Nothing changed in appearance, just the feeling.

”Yuanyuan, are you in a hurry to go back? I have three days off.”

Tan Shaoting suddenly decided he didn’t want to delay this girl, but he missed her too much. So he wanted her to stay.

Yuanyuan complained that she had already stayed here for three days. Now she had to stop again.

Tan Shaoting saw his longed-for girl nodding. His eyes were full of smiles and he pulled her off the train. The conductor even scolded them, as he was about to close the doors.

Another train had Tan Shaoting’s teammates watching curiously as he pulled down a girl.

”Captain, I’m taking leave, I’ll take the train back in three days.”

Every time they returned, they had three days off. Seeing Xiao Tan holding the girl’s hand tightly, of course, they would agree to the comrade’s request.

”We’ll wait for your return to duty.”

Tan Shaoting pulled Yuanyuan out of the train station, and they found a hotel.

As soon as they entered the room, Tan Shaoting hugged Yuanyuan tightly.

”How did you come over? To see me! Why didn’t you wait for me?”

Yuanyuan was a bit embarrassed, really unsure whether to tell the truth. But if she didn’t, she’d feel very embarrassed.

Tan Shaoting continued hugging her but didn’t hear her answer. So he pushed her back slightly, looking seriously into her eyes.

Yuanyuan awkwardly smiled, ”I came to donate money. This time I donated seven thousand.”

Meaning she didn’t come for him.

”Zhang Chunsheng didn’t even tell me you were here.”

Tan Shaoting just listened to Yuanyuan explain, but he definitely knew this girl.

”Go have a shower and change clothes, I’ll prepare some food for you.”

Tan Shaoting suddenly kissed her on the cheek, finding her quite pretty in the local attire.

He thought to himself that if there was a chance to go out in the future, he would definitely get her more clothes.

Yuanyuan was stunned by his action, gave him a pout, and pushed him, ”Go wash up.”

Tan Shaoting left with a smile.

Yuanyuan took out some steaks she had prepared earlier. She took out a few pieces, knowing how much Tan Shaoting would like them.

When Tan Shaoting came back, he saw the food on the table.

”Yuanyuan, thank goodness you prepared this; I can secretly indulge myself.”

”I still have more, all for you. I’ll make more when I go back.”

Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile, ”Great, all for me.”

The two of them sat down to eat. Tan Shaoting was really hungry, and since it was his favorite taste, he ate six steaks.

Finally, he also had a bowl of egg and lean meat porridge. This time he was truly satisfied. After eating, he went out and washed the dishes before coming back.

Then he sat down next to Yuanyuan. ”Yuanyuan, can you stay? I really love my current job, just missing you beside me. And I think you’d like this job too.”

Yuanyuan shook her head, ”I’m a self-centered person, really not suited for following orders.”

”Yuanyuan, can’t you try to adapt?”

Yuanyuan kept shaking her head. She really didn’t like being controlled or limited.

Tan Shaoting sighed and then asked about her life over the past year.

But he already picked Yuanyuan up and had her sitting on his lap.

”You’re making me uncomfortable.”

”Yuanyuan, let me hold you, you don’t know how much I’ve missed you this year.”

”Put me down, I’m right here.”

Tan Shaoting knew Yuanyuan didn’t like too much physical closeness, so he reluctantly let go.

Yuanyuan sat upright and started telling him about the winter wheat yield and how Feng Baoshan sent people to help.

”Anyway, I’m definitely not planting that much again this year. Just fifty acres will do.”
