Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046: They’ve Arrived

After husband and wife hung up the phone, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative. There was nothing at home. Also, they’d need to go to the grain station soon; always eating out wasn’t realistic.

Yuanyuan wasn’t in a good mood today, mainly because a few people she didn’t like came to cause trouble.

However, hearing Secretary Bai say that Zeng Hongling and others had arrived cheered her up a bit.

Tan Shaoting never worked overtime now, always coming back after work to pick her up. The couple’s world after work made him really happy every day.

Chengzi saw Tan Shaoting coming over. "Boss, the Zeng Family arrived earlier; Big Sis just found out."

Tan Shaoting nodded. Actually, he didn’t want to see any outsiders because it was their private time. However, since his wife notified him, it meant she approved and that their relationship was very close.

Also, he had a godson now, so this was a good opportunity to meet him.

Yuanyuan was listening to the secretary’s work report, which was her habit every evening before leaving work. This way, she had a general idea of what had happened during the day.

When Tan Shaoting came in, he went directly to the reception room since they weren’t in the same department. It was better to avoid each other there, and both of them handled it very well.

Yuanyuan sped up as she needed to go to the Zeng Family later.

In the lounge, Tan Shaoting had already prepared some Spiritual Spring Water for Yuanyuan. After such a day, it was indeed quite exhausting.

The two of them had once considered giving up one of their jobs, but neither side agreed.

Moreover, his wife became a committee member at this conference; now she was stuck. It was rather frustrating.

Actually, they knew that many people were envious of them. But for them, it really wasn’t something to be proud of.

Initially, it was out of necessity and anger, but now it had turned into a responsibility.

Tan Shaoting definitely supported his wife’s work. In fact, if his wife wanted to let it all go and lead a simple life, he would be even more willing.

Previously, because of himself, she changed her mind to follow him, but now he was following behind her, keeping up with her pace.

All the secretaries filed out. Yuanyuan looked at Chengzi, "Have you called Qi Yan and them?"

"They haven’t returned yet. But Daqing said they could be home in three days at most."

Yuanyuan nodded, as having Zeng Hongling over to see Tan Shaoting and the children was a thought she had after regaining her memory.

After all, during that time they were together, so although she was used to being alone, it was different having someone to talk to.

She also went into the lounge; Chengzi definitely wouldn’t follow at this point.

Tan Shaoting stood up with a smile, handing her a glass of water. After seeing her drink it, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder as they sat down.

"Are we eating out or at the canteen?"

Yuanyuan checked the time. "At this time, the Zeng Family has probably finished eating. We should eat first before going."

"The canteen?"

"Yes, it’s convenient. After eating, we’ll head over. Secretary Bai must have prepared the gifts."

Among all the secretaries, Yuanyuan was satisfied with the work of Qian Zhifeng and Bai Yucheng. Such people would certainly be promoted in the future.

The couple appeared in the canteen. Some people were still eating and were quite excited to see them looking like immortals.

Yuanyuan sat and waited, knowing that Tan Shaoting fully understood her taste. Chengzi followed too; after being with Big Sis for so long, his taste had aligned to prefer lighter flavors.

Yuanyuan was rather helpless, not wanting to attract attention. But to avoid trouble, eating here was the most convenient option.

Today, Yuanyuan ate half a bun. To be honest, the cook really made excellent pastries.

Chengzi knew the address of the Zeng Family, and on the way, Tan Shaoting held Yuanyuan’s hand tightly.

This habit was something Tan Shaoting picked up after returning and also came to see her during work hours.

The five years of solitude and fear in the Otherworld made him afraid to change after coming back.

The car stopped at the entrance, and Chengzi got out to knock on the door.

The Zeng Family had just finished eating, and the old man declared they wouldn’t eat out anymore because it was too cold, and he didn’t want to suffer for a meal.

While drinking tea, they heard the noise outside, prompting Zeng Hongling to rush out. As soon as the first knock sounded, the door was yanked open.

They knew each other. Seeing Chengzi, Zeng Hongling’s face was all smiles.

Her eyes fixed on the car behind Chengzi.

As one of the car doors opened, Zeng Hongling felt she was seeing a god, unable to exactly describe it.

After getting out, Tan Shaoting helped Yuanyuan out. Now standing together, Zeng Hongling sighed, thinking they really were a perfect couple.

"Yuanyuan."

Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Hongling, you’re back."

Zeng Hongling moved past Chengzi, and by then, the whole Zeng Family was outside. They were all stunned to see the couple standing there.

Zeng Hongling tried to hold Yuanyuan’s hand but was instinctively blocked by Tan Shaoting.

Yuanyuan felt a bit helpless, knowing Tan Shaoting did it unintentionally.

"Hongling, let’s go inside."

Zeng Hongling paused, but hearing Yuanyuan’s words, she came back to her senses.

Yuanyuan smiled at the Zeng Family members, already familiar with them.

Xinyu watched his godmother from his father’s arms.

Everyone went inside, and Chengzi followed with the gifts.

Yuanyuan greeted Zeng Yaozu and Zeng Wenxuan with a smile.

"Xiao Su, right? A few years haven’t changed you."

"Mr. Zeng has aged, but you seem to be in good health."

"Haha, that’s right! Being with Xinyu every day certainly puts me in a good mood."

Yuanyuan smiled at Xinyu in Yang Liulang’s arms.

Yang Liulang lowered his head, "What’s wrong? Does your godmother look different from the photo?"

The little one looked at Yuanyuan, "Godmother."

"Thank you, Xinyu, for remembering your godmother."

Everyone sat down, and Yuanyuan introduced the Zeng Family to Tan Shaoting.

Zeng Yixin knew deep down that Yuanyuan wasn’t someone he could match; before he thought he might have a chance, but compared to them, how could he even dare to say he was good enough?

"Yuanyuan, where are the kids?" Zeng Hongling seemed anxious.

"Qi Yan and others will return in three to four days. You’re staying here for the New Year, right? No need to rush."

"Yuanyuan, I’m really curious about how Qi Yan and others look. With your looks, what beautiful children must you have? You really should have more."

Yuanyuan just laughed, but Tan Shaoting liked what Zeng Hongling said. He also wanted more children, and Qi Yan and others wanted siblings too.
