Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: New Year’s in 1973

Qi Yan shook his head, "No, it’s particularly clean, so clean that we can’t believe it."

"Mom, this time we’re going ourselves. Although we don’t have your mind reading technique, we can still find out some secrets," Qi Hong added.

"Alright, be careful. This means they have quite a presence there. Don’t let your guard down."

All three nodded, they had also realized this point; ordinary people definitely can’t manage such thoroughness.

The family dinner for five was still quite sumptuous, with so much delicious food in Yuanyuan’s space.

Then they continued their exploration in the space, it truly was different, very vast, and Qi Hong even discovered many precious items.

They all helped Mom organize them into the herb field. They’ll divide the extras among the siblings.

Tan Shaoting stayed right by his wife’s side.

The time they spent together these past two years felt even more precious than before.

That’s how people are; you only cherish it after losing it.

On the morning of the first day, their family went to the Li Family. Li Liyun was now a twenty-year-old young lady. At this age, girls are at their prettiest. And she has a very good mindset, appearing cheerful and optimistic.

The siblings will graduate in just one year; they are no longer in the same state as when they first arrived here.

Li Hongxiang’s health is still decent now, he appears quite robust, though his leg has left some ailment.

"Sister Yuan Yuan, why don’t you stay for dinner?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "It’s too much trouble to cook ourselves, let’s eat out. I’ll treat you to a meal, as a reward for your performance last year."

The five had one car, so the three had to head over separately.

The group arrived at the hotpot city, and the person in charge saw them arrive. He immediately went over to greet them and personally escorted them to the private room.

On the first day, there were indeed many people dining here, yet rooms were still reserved.

Like for these few guests, without prior notice, suddenly coming to eat. How do you cope?

The person in charge went down and was immediately grabbed by someone. "Old Liu, those few just now were the above, weren’t they?"

"Old Chen, what’s the use of probing into this? Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know, it’s of no benefit to you."

"I’m just curious."

"Don’t be curious, this isn’t something you should be curious about."

Privately, many speculated that these were indeed the two from above. Mainly because they stood out too much.

When the Li Family arrived, the waiter guided them up.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Sister Yuan Yuan, I want to eat roast lamb leg."

"No problem, Shaoguang, what do you want to eat?"

"I’ll also have lamb leg."

Here, the serving speed was quite fast. Quickly let the leaders finish eating and leave; they felt pressured here.

"Sister Yuan Yuan, are we eating dumplings at home tonight?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head again, "It’s already decided, we’re going to others’ homes as guests. You, the three generations, don’t worry."

Li Hongxiang just chuckled, actually wanting to know when his son could return. But he knew they had rules, telling him they would be coming was already a mistake.

Su Yuanyuan knew Li Hongxiang’s thoughts, but she really didn’t know; Tan Shaoting should know such things.

However, now she didn’t know how to ask.

Tan Shaoting, seeing their troubled expressions, knew what they wanted to know.

Once the food was served, everyone started eating.

"Next year you’ll be able to have the reunion dinner together as a family."

Just this one sentence made Li Hongxiang shed tears.

This meant that the son and daughter-in-law could return this year.

The siblings were also quite excited; they didn’t have much impression of their parents. Yet, with Sister Yuan Yuan saying their parents served the people, contributing, they felt a sense of pride, cherishing their parents.

They hoped for their quick return, so the family could reunite.

"Mr. Li, don’t be like this, it’s a joyous occasion, these many years have passed."

Tan Shaoting nodded too, "Yes, they’ll be brought back, you’ll be informed they’re here, rest assured, just wait patiently."

The three generations were very excited already, though there wasn’t a specific time, knowing it was this year was enough.

This was enough, really enough. They had waited almost twenty years, what’s another year?

"Sister Yuan Yuan, we’re about to graduate. I want to apply for foreign relations," Li Liyun said with a smile.

"Alright, as long as you like it, but you probably won’t be able to hold overseas positions."

The siblings looked at Su Yuanyuan.

"Because of your parents’ situation, there could be risks. You need to think it through yourselves."

Both nodded, they understood. It was for their safety, and also for their parents’ protection.

"I’ll also go."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Actually, there are many useful jobs domestically without holding overseas positions."

The two knew they had been thinking about this for years, and they had learned much.

Su Yuanyuan was just eating the dishes; the napa cabbage with sesame sauce was quite tasty.

Qi Yan and the trio were fine, just not eating roast lamb leg. After several years, they still didn’t want roasted meat.

After the family finished, they sat down for tea.

"Xiao Su, Xiao Tan, we won’t disturb you, we’ll leave first."

After the family left, they didn’t go elsewhere but went straight home.

At home, the family could still enter the space.

Upon reaching the doorway, they saw Secretary Lin Hanqing waiting outside.

Tan Shaoting called him inside.

"Minister Su, received a call from a female comrade, she says she’s Feng Shanshan, has gotten off the train and is staying at a hotel."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "Secretary Lin, arrange for her, tell her we’ll be dining at BaDaWan tomorrow noon."

"Understood, I’ll make the arrangements now."

"Mom, does this Feng Shanshan have any issues?"

"Her? She’s one who traveled the time stream, discovered by your dad and Uncle Hu Zi back then.

That year you had the accident, I found her living in the little village where you had it, she’s a reliable girl, so I shared some things with her.

Now, so many years later, this matter is just left as is; I’d already canceled the search for her before your return, so she’s safe now."

"What does she come for?"

"To attend school."

All three nodded, as long as she poses no threat to the family.

That afternoon, the family didn’t enter the space, but sat together chatting, the couple answering the children’s questions.

Even though the three siblings were outstanding, age is still a factor.

"Qi Yan. You three, go see if the books I’ve collected are useful to you?"
