Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The family started living a life of learning. Su Yuanyuan also needed to learn to read and write. Although she was with the children, she had a lot more to learn.

After five days, the three children were a bit tired of studying.

Su Yuanyuan looked at them solemnly; this was something that had never happened before.

"I've told you this before. Whatever you do, you must see it through to the end.

You find it boring now. Do you want to give up just because you encounter some difficulties? Think about your aspirations."

The three were a little scared. Mom had never been like this to them before.

Seeing that the three of them were afraid, Su Yuanyuan softened her expression.

"I know studying is very tedious and boring, but shouldn't you persevere like it says in the books?"

Qi Wen was the most well-behaved, "Mom, I will study seriously."

"Good, I'll take the three of you to apologize to Teacher Zhang. We'll also discuss with Teacher Zhang to let you study for a while and then play for a while, but the playtime will be very short."

None of the three had any more complaints. Zhang Yaohan also breathed a sigh of relief, accepted the three children's apologies, and apologized to them in turn, so it was decided to study for an hour and rest for twenty minutes.

Su Yuanyuan was now self-learning using Zhang Yaohan's foreign language dictionary.

For her, it was just a review, but she also had to pretend to ask how to pronounce the words, which was quite challenging.

When the children had playtime, their efficiency improved a bit. It made Zhang Yaohan even more satisfied. He constantly reminded himself that the students now are still young children.

By the end of the month, the autumn harvest at Jue Mountain had been completed. They were just doing the finishing touches.

Hu Chunhua urged Yang Minggang to grind flour and cornmeal, which were all grown in the private plot, as the village hadn't distributed grain yet.

"Mom, I want to go with you." Wang Chunsheng wanted to visit the Capital.

"Okay. If you go with me, you can also bring more stuff.

Our family will slaughter a pig before we leave, to bring more meat to Yuanyuan."

They had eaten so much of her oil and meat before. When things got better, Yuanyuan was at the farm and couldn't do anything about it. Now they were so close, and since they had pigs at home, they definitely had to bring her some.

The Yang Family wouldn't have any objections, and even Zhou Minli had nothing to say. This big autumn was too exhausting. Being able to eat pork would be good to satisfy their cravings.

As for the gifts to others, Zhou Minli was no fool and knew people wouldn't take advantage for free.

As they were preparing, Xu Chunjiao was preparing too. She wasn't going, but she felt embarrassed to have Hu Chunhua bring too much on her behalf. So she picked fine items to bring.

"Chunhua, you bring the pork, I'll bring two big roosters and two ducks.

My peanuts were pulled early this year; I'll go back and shell them into peanut kernels."

"Okay, Chunsheng is going with me. The two of us can carry it."

It was not until November that Yang Minggang drove them to the train station, where there was a direct train.

Since the two of them could read, they didn't tell Su Yuanyuan they were coming, nor worried about getting lost.

Tian Xiaohua also knew Hu Chunhua went to see her daughter. Ever since the last meeting, she saw the kind of life she wanted to lead. She felt envious in her heart.

These days her family was quiet every single day.

A homestead had already been approved with Yang Hongwen. She and her son saved money by digging the foundation after work.

Now the villagers had changed their attitude towards them, seeing they wanted a good life.

The adobe for Tian Xiaohua was prepared last year. Another year of diligence and everything was ready.

After the autumn harvest, and after Hu Chunhua left, she found more than ten people, and within two days, the house was built.

The villagers were quite surprised. They didn't expect Tian Xiaohua to change like this. Now when she borrowed things, people were willing to lend to her.

The house was built, but still needed a lot of work. They ran out of money, so the mother and son had to do everything themselves.

They basically only went back to eat and sleep.

Su Daqiang grew increasingly silent. When the house was being built, he was there but felt out of place, not fitting in.

All the fathers were preparing houses for their sons, but now that the house was built without his involvement, he didn't do anything to help.

So during meals at home, no one spoke.

The saying "appearance reflects the heart" was not wrong at all. In the past, Su Liangliang had a shifty look, but now that expression was gone. Although he still looked somewhat devious, he wasn't someone who left a negative impression anymore.

Tian Xiaohua had no hope for Su Daqiang. Even when she was exhausted and had to cook by herself, she had no complaints, as if he wasn't there.

The mother and son had no money left. The carpenter was from the village, so the doors and windows were already installed. There weren't many areas left that required money.

Now they were making adobe bricks. They needed a courtyard.

They would wait to buy more household items until they got paid.

The two houses were at opposite ends of the village, a choice made by Tian Xiaohua to be as far away from Su Daqiang as possible.

Su Daqiang ate with his head down, wanting to ask if they needed money, but seeing the mother and son eat with their heads down without looking at him, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Hu Chunhua and Wang Chunsheng got off the train. Seeing so many people, they felt a bit unsettled, but they had the address and asked a lot of people. They finally knew how to take the bus.

However, they had too many things and couldn't squeeze onto the bus.

"Chunsheng, let's walk there. We can make it by tomorrow night at the latest."

Zhang Chunsheng, a nineteen-year-old energetic young man, had no objections when his mother said this.

So, he carried a bag of cornmeal, twenty pounds of pork in his hand, and the chickens and ducks from Yang Hongwen's family.

Hu Chunhua had a bag of white flour, peanut kernels, mushrooms, black fungus, and their luggage.

Although they were used to farmwork, carrying these was manageable initially, but it was tiring over time.

The two of them walked for a while, then rested, feeling both exhausted and hungry.

After leaving the city, they saw fewer and fewer people on the road. But after asking many people, they knew they were on the right direction, so they continued along the road.

Today Tan Shaoting was meeting top leaders, and because of some matters was delayed, hadn't stayed for dinner, and drove back. Now he felt he couldn't eat properly outside. Only at home, watching his family, he felt at ease and had an appetite.

Leaving the city, he saw two people on the road carrying a lot of things. He was a cold person who wouldn't normally care about these things.
