Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Going Up the Mountain

Tan Shaoting laughed on the side, both mother and daughter really thought alike. "Your mom said she’d go up the mountain this afternoon to take a look, might even run into a wild boar or something."

"Of course? Back then if I could make money, wild boars were really a great help."

Qi Yan also had a smile on his face. It wasn’t often Mom was this mischievous.

The family walked and chatted as they went along. People on the shore watched them come ashore. Not a single person dared to step forward to greet them.

Once a poor little thing, now they’ve become someone everyone looks up to.

The family didn’t mind. They continued to talk and laugh, Shubao still calling out to people, and Xiao Fei joined in too.

Su Yuanyuan’s perspective on Shubao had changed. At least a child like him was a lot better than Yang Zhiqiang.

On the way back, Shubao ran to Su Yuanyuan’s side, "Auntie, where are we going to play this afternoon? Should we fish? Last time my grandpa caught fish, there were several big ones.

My grandma cooked a large pot, it was really delicious."

"Then let’s go fishing in the evening, I want to go up the mountain in the afternoon, you two better not come. I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up."

Shubao immediately wilted; actually, he really wanted to go up the mountain, he thought about it when he was little, but Grandma had once spanked him for wanting to go up the mountain.

Su Yuanyuan smiled, she really didn’t want to bring Shubao up the mountain, he wouldn’t be in danger while she was here, but she left, and he thought there was no danger, then going up the mountain would be troublesome.

Xiao Fei held Shubao’s hand, meaning to console him.

"Shubao, we know martial arts, we can protect ourselves from danger, but you can’t, I’m telling you, there really are wolves in the mountains, I’ve run into them before. Don’t have any fluke mentality.

I think your grandma definitely won’t let you go, right? Listen to the adults."

"Auntie, I won’t go."

"That’s right, you’re a big kid now, you should know right from wrong. We don’t want you to go up the mountain because we don’t want to lose you.

Auntie knows you’re a good kid, so you must behave and listen."

While talking, they already returned to the Yang family. The aroma was already wafting out, Su Yuanyuan’s favorite was big-pot stewed meat, it was really very fragrant. And those who have been cooking all their lives stew meat even better.

Qi Hong laughed, "This taste is no worse than a master chef’s." The three of them were very spoiled at the garrison. There was always good food.

"Second Brother, I’m telling you, stewed fish tastes even better."

"Tonight we’re going fishing, then I’ll taste just how tasty the better fish is."

Su Yuanyuan laughed, wasn’t Qi Hong just like this?

Both big pots at home and the cold stove in the yard were all put to use. The aroma of chicken, the aroma of pork.

"You came back just in time, about to eat." Hu Chunhua said with a smile.

For lunch, Qi Yan and the other three were very satisfied. This taste was the taste of home.

After lunch, the family said something, and walked up the mountain.

Going up the mountain from the Yang family, they would definitely pass by the Su Family.

Since Su Liangliang returned, he’s been very silent. Wang Cuihong didn’t say anything either. Just disappointed she couldn’t bask in the glory.

Lunch was eaten by the family together, Su Ziqiang ate very slowly, Wang Cuihong wanted to feed him, but Su Liangliang stopped her.

"You can’t do this, I’m afraid we’ll end up raising Ziqiang like I was when I was little.

Cuihong, let’s treat Kaichun better in the future, treat both children the same."

Wang Cuihong was delighted. She didn’t expect Su Liangliang to say something like this.

"Alright."

"But don’t spoil Ziqiang, I’ve realized it. If you spoil a child, they won’t amount to anything later."

"Hmm, I’ll surely pay attention and won’t spoil Ziqiang."

Su Liangliang sighed, he understood now, but it was already too late. He still didn’t know how he was so muddled when he was young? Thinking about it now, he regretted so much he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

His life was like this now, Ziqiang should be taught well. As for Kaichun, though she wasn’t his biological child, she was only two years old when she came, he’d been raising her, not expecting her to repay him, just wanting to feel at ease with himself.

Su Yuanyuan and her family of five passed by the Su Family, she looked at it for a while.

"Mom?"

"This is where I used to live."

The three kids understood. "Mom, if you want it, we can buy it." Qi Yan said.

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile. "No need, I should’ve kept this house at the beginning, but back then I thought I’d never come back." Now it’s been lived in for nearly twenty years, everything has changed, it’s no longer my old home.

"Mom. Did you used to live alone?"

"Yes, back then they threw me aside, leaving because they fancied a formal job, I was living alone then."

Su Yuanyuan didn’t like talking to the kids about this. In fact, she didn’t want to recall it.

Tan Shaoting held his wife’s hand, the first time he met her was on the train, back then she was so unique, he didn’t think of her as a little child.

Qi Wen saw the smile on Dad’s face. "Dad, what are you remembering that you’re smiling like this?"

Once she said that, the whole family looked at Tan Shaoting.

"Ah, actually, I was remembering the first time I saw your mom was on a train. She was sitting in the sleeper section, secretly eating something tasty, how could I not smell it?

Talking to her she wouldn’t even acknowledge me? Over time I found out she was going to the farm too, and knowing her surname was Su, then I knew."

"Dad, did Mom give you good food back then?" Qi Wen was very curious.

Tan Shaoting shook his head, "No, after returning to the farm, the house I lived in and your mom’s were pretty much neighbors.

I shamelessly went over to help, eventually moved over to live with your mom."

"Haha, you knew you were shameless? I was terribly annoyed with you back then, wasn’t I better off living alone?

Actually, I really liked farm life. There were no neighbors around, just me, could do whatever I wanted.

You insisted on coming over, back then I was enduring it very hard."

Tan Shaoting laughed, "Wasn’t I also teaching you martial arts?"

The three children listened to their parents talking, smiling too.

Wang Cuihong came out and saw a family of five not far away, just by looking at their clothes she knew it must be Su Yuanyuan.

She originally wanted to call her husband, but thinking about Su Liangliang’s lack of spirit since returning, she thought better of it, she’d go over, say something. Couldn’t bask in the glory, well then couldn’t bask.

So she pushed open the branch-woven gate. "Want to come in for some water?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, she didn’t want any involvement with this family, actually not out of hate, just didn’t want to cause herself trouble.
