Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: Feelings

Qi Wen thought for a moment, "I feel the same as you two, I also don’t have a sense of belonging to these two places.

But I do have a sense of belonging to Mom’s space."

The two brothers listened to their sister’s words and felt the same.

They stopped when they arrived at the county town. Previously, both Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting seldom came here.

"This is even smaller than the county town where Mom and the others are from." Qi Wen felt a bit disdainful.

"You think it’s a big city, huh? It’s already really not bad."

In such a small county, a car draws a lot of attention.

The three siblings didn’t mind, they took a stroll around the supply and marketing cooperative where Qi Wen bought some fermented tofu.

"Do you two remember this? We used to eat it when we were kids."

"But you didn’t have to buy a whole jar," Qi Hong teased his sister.

"Isn’t it hard to take these things out in smaller amounts? I had to put in a lot of effort with my words."

"Yeah, you left the sales clerk speechless."

"That’s my talent, now we’ve got a whole jar of fermented tofu, don’t we?"

The three took a walk but didn’t find anything to buy. Passing by the restaurant’s entrance, there wasn’t any enticing aroma coming out. They decided to eat their own meal instead.

"Let’s go, let’s check out the city."

The two brothers had no objection. Since knowing they would leave, they shared a desire to see everything here, even if just to watch the people.

"Big brother, do you think this place will become like the books that Mom brought with her?" Qi Wen asked.

"It certainly will, only better."

"We won’t see this place’s development."

"We did everything we could. There are lots of capable people in this world."

"Yes indeed. It would be nice to come back and visit someday." Qi Wen sighed.

"You really have many wishes. Here you are thinking about another world, and you’ve not left yet, you’re already thinking about coming back."

"Yes, that’s how it is." Qi Wen also laughed.

The three siblings arrived in the city, which was obviously much better than the county town.

Qi Wen’s first stop was, of course, the big building, only two floors, but indeed there were a lot of people inside.

"Big brother, do you think people now take pride in buying things from the big building?"

"Perhaps, I remember meeting a few people on the train. Their voices unconsciously got louder when they talked about going to the big building to buy things."

Qi Hong nodded as well, "I also have this feeling."

"Do we need to buy anything?"

"We don’t lack anything."

Qi Wen nodded too. Indeed, they didn’t lack anything; Mom’s space had been distributed among their father and them. There really wasn’t anything they needed when it came to food and essentials. Taking a turn around revealed nothing they needed.

Nonetheless, they didn’t leave, just slowly walked among the crowd, feeling the rush of people here.

Come noon, when people in the building had lessened, the three finally came out.

"Let’s go back, shall we?" Qi Hong called out to his sister, not knowing if she had any other needs or places she wanted to go.

"Going back already?"

"What else do you want to do?"

"Let’s find a place to refuel; I have a few empty barrels that need filling."

The two brothers had no complaints; they were fine with following their sister’s lead.

Qi Wen drove right to the Armed Forces Department. She took out a slip and five barrels from the car.

It put them in a bit of a bind; they could fill it up, but the remaining amount wasn’t much either.

Qi Wen observed their expression, "Fill up what you can, I won’t make it hard for you."

"Young comrade, I can only fill up your car, maybe one more barrel at most."

Qi Wen nodded. She didn’t say much; she didn’t want to impose.

Fueling done, they left the receipt for reimbursement.

The accountant saw the receipt and was surprised. "Xiao Zhang, did the person who got the fuel leave?"

"They left. They came at noon and have been gone for about half an hour now. What’s up? Is there a problem with the receipt?"

"No, no. Did you just give them this much fuel?"

"Yes, isn’t there a mandate?"

The accountant was speechless. He pointed to the stamp on the receipt, "Xiao Zhang, remember this stamp. Next time they come for fuel, give as much as they want, understand?"

"There’s a backstory?"

"Yes, a big one."

"Alright, I got it. Accountant Zhang, who are they?"

"You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Go back to your work. By the way, who showed up?"

"Three older kids, looking as pleasant as Immortals."

Accountant Zhang nodded, "Okay, I got it."

He took the receipt and went to report it to the leader.

The person in charge here also instructed; the next time they come over, satisfy their request, give as much as they ask for, and remember to notify him, fulfilling their demands.

The three siblings drove to a secluded place, took out their meals, and happily had lunch together.

"Actually, there’s nothing bad about this place, at least there’s a lot of good food."

"You’re not regretting it again, are you?" Qi Hong asked his sister.

"How could I? Just saying, and besides, with Mom around, there’s good food everywhere."

The two brothers let out a breath of relief. Hoping she wouldn’t change her mind again.

In the family, decisions usually followed a woman’s lead. Qi Wen said she wanted to leave; Mom and Dad would definitely consider it.

Once they were full, they weren’t in a hurry to leave. Qi Wen got out and strolled, nearby there was a grove.

The two brothers followed their sister.

The four at the farm didn’t have much to do either.

Thankfully Sun Yun came over for a chat with Su Yuanyuan.

Tan Shaoting mentioned he went out fishing. The two women sat on the kang talking gossip.

They were quite happy, Sun Yun didn’t usually have anyone to chat with, finally having someone to talk to now.

"Yuanyuan, Zhao Xiaojing came to my house this noon."

"Did she finish all the housework?"

"Yes, just came over to say a few words. It only later hit me, it’s because she noticed I have a better connection with you than with them.

But what’s the point of finding me? Though she didn’t mention anything specific."

Su Yuanyuan didn’t really care; if there’s something, as long as it’s reasonable, she wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

"Sister-in-law, how many days until the big autumn harvest?"

"Your big brother said it would be ten days or half a month more. Altogether, there’s just thirty acres of land, Director Feng set modest tasks."

"Thirty acres of land is plenty for food."

"Yes, all corn was planted this year. But I saved some wheat from before, enough for the kids to take with them."

"I’ve seen them, all quite nice kids."

"Your big brother and I would rather eat coarse grains ourselves to get good food for the kids.

I’m not fond of daughters, I want sons, but I won’t skimp on their food."

"Sister-in-law, you’re really a good mom."

"What’s good about it? As long as they don’t resent me, I’m satisfied."

"How could they? Sister-in-law, you think too much."

"Yuanyuan, I didn’t think too much; at that time, when they were going to school, I was very reluctant."
