Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Garrison

Yuanyuan nodded, "Everyone’s back?"

"Mm, about thirty people can make it back."

Xie Fenglan followed behind Yuanyuan, wanting to see the leader off to the car.

"Secretary Xie, you should go back and take a good rest. You’ve worked quite hard as well."

On the way back in the car, "Sister-in-law, are you going to attend this year’s annual meeting?" This was something Zhou Cong had urged him to ask, even though he really didn’t want to.

"No, I’m not a person from the garrison, and I really just want a few quiet days."

"Alright, we understand." It seemed their arrangements would need to change a bit. Sister-in-law looked tired, so let’s just have a meal together and let her rest with the remaining time.

We’d better cancel the plans here and let Sister-in-law have a few peaceful days.

Once they arrived at the garrison, Yuanyuan got down to inspect. It’s the rule, and no one can break it.

After they left, the duty soldiers were very curious about who this female comrade was.

Daqing drove directly to the leader’s old home.

Yuanyuan carried a leather bag, looking at the somewhat worn courtyard wall. Their family had been separated for over three years, nearing four.

"Alright, you can head back. I’ll go in by myself, and I’ll eat dinner at the canteen."

"Sister-in-law, shall we bring food for you?"

"No need, I might not eat tonight, I’ll be going to sleep. Don’t worry about it."

Yuanyuan entered the house, felt the warmth inside, and noticed how clean it was. Now this place was her private space. She checked the stove, and seeing no problem, went directly into space.

She hadn’t entered space for over half a year. It felt incredibly comfortable.

She felt her eyelids drooping, so she took a bath and went straight to sleep.

When she woke up and came out of space, it was already six in the morning, and she could hear the training slogans outside.

After a sound sleep, she felt in a great mood. Taking the prepared lunchbox, she left the house.

While walking on the road, she encountered many women going to get meals.

Many people greeted her awkwardly. Yuanyuan overheard some talk about her.

In fact, it didn’t really matter. If people took the initiative to talk, she’d just say a few words back.

"I didn’t expect that she had become such a big leader now," a woman carrying a net bag said in a low voice to another woman beside her.

"She’s capable, right? But when I look at those pictures, I really think Su Yuanyuan is indeed capable."

That’s human nature. People who are similar may feel jealousy towards you, but if there’s too much difference, there’s not even jealousy left.

Yuanyuan reached the canteen, and took her place in line. At this time, it’s usually the families of the garrison coming to get food, mostly women, and of course, there were children as well.

When it was her turn, the master in charge of serving food still recognized Yuanyuan, "Leader, welcome back for the New Year."

Yuanyuan smiled and nodded. "Thank you."

She just requested a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, a steamed bun, some pickles, and an egg.

After she left the canteen, everyone started discussing her.

Almost 80% of the people knew Yuanyuan, and they knew what had happened to her. Before the incident, they were jealous of her for being young and beautiful, having three children, and an outstanding husband.

But after the incident, they still didn’t like her, though the jealousy had lessened, leaving only sympathy.

Now seeing her, what’s left was admiration and respect.

Younger wives who didn’t know her were curious, but in the garrison, it had been explicitly forbidden to discuss Yuanyuan’s matters.

Privately, people might discuss it, but openly, no one dared.

Yuanyuan walked leisurely on her way back. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, and when she turned to look, it was a teenager.

"Auntie."

"Sorry, little one, Auntie doesn’t remember you." This little guy sure had a strong personality; he seemed to show no signs of inner struggle.

"Auntie, my name is Zhuang Yuanxi."

"Hello."

Neither was particularly talkative, so they fell into silence.

"Auntie, I’m going to get some food now."

Yuanyuan nodded, watching the young boy turn and run off.

She found it quite amusing, having sensed the young boy’s awkwardness. He was a friend of her three children. She wondered what it would be like when they all met.

Returning home, Yuanyuan tidied up the place a bit, making sure the stove was burning well.

It was now completely her own time. Early this morning felt so leisurely that it felt a bit unnatural. One really doesn’t know what to say. Before, at this time, several secretaries would report their work one by one.

She pulled out a book, grabbed some fruits, thinking she should enjoy this kind of life.

But now she felt somewhat absent-minded. It was really frustrating.

Feeling bored, she entered space directly.

Upon arrival, she just simply looked around, realizing it was a combination of two people’s space. She had used quite a bit of their things. Now with time, she sorted things out a bit.

Looking at the photo of her family of five, a smile naturally appeared on her face. The kids were really adorable, and she thought about seeing them this year, they were growing more beautiful as they grew up. While not as chubby cute as before, they truly were becoming more attractive.

Wonderful, they’ll surely grow to be handsome men and beautiful women.

The stockpile in the space was plentiful, but she didn’t know which belonged to Li Hongxiang’s family.

In the future, those things would certainly be returned to the Li Family.

Perhaps their things were really good, but they weren’t hers. Plus, when the family of two was abandoning their elder and children to contribute to the country, she couldn’t possibly covet their family assets. Absolute respect was a must.

But truly, she couldn’t remember, seeing those few piles of things placed alone in the corner, she knew one of them must be the Li Family’s.

She’d ask when the opportunity was right in the future and return them.

Yuanyuan sat to the side, seeing the most in space was antiques, many of which were collected.

Yuanyuan wore a smile; that was when she felt the happiest, right?

How to describe this feeling? It was a sense of achievement. Yes, there was a lucky sense of accomplishment in the things collected.

One really couldn’t say if doing this for a lifetime would make her happy or content. It’s really unpredictable.

After tidying up, there was still a lot of meat in the space, though she dared not use anything from the space now, it had its advantages. Now her reliance on the space was decreasing.

By the time she came out of space, it was nearly noon. She initially thought of not going to the canteen. There was plenty of delicious food in space. But then she heard a knock on the door. Turns out it was Chunsheng.
