Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 900: 9:00 to Work

Su Yuanyuan had lunch on the fifth day, then Hu Zi drove her back.

The transfer order for Chengzi hadn’t come through yet. So, they could only wait here, as there were still some procedures to be completed.

"Sister-in-law. We have all submitted our applications."

"That’s great, you’re not that young anymore, better to settle down and live a stable life."

Hu Zi chuckled, "Sister-in-law, honestly I’m really reluctant. But I won’t be leaving this team in the future either, there’s still a chance to carry out missions."

"Hu Zi, serving the people isn’t just about going on missions. Training a group of excellent talents is also serving the people."

"Sister-in-law, I know. It’s just that it’s suddenly hard to adapt."

"Actually, you all will be even more important in the future. You must impart all your experiences to them, so they’ll avoid detours and reduce sacrifices, which will be your achievement."

"Sigh, it’ll have to be like that from now on. After so many years outside, suddenly staying in one place makes me feel useless.

In fact, at our age, we should have retired from this team long ago, but thanks to the leader and the miracle drugs you gave us, although we’ve been injured, they were never major problems."

Su Yuanyuan laughed, "What kind of thinking is that? Even if you don’t feel it now, when you’re injured, doesn’t it hurt? And when you get older, you’ll feel unwell."

"I mean that in other teams, people our age usually aren’t carrying out missions anymore."

"That’s a good thing; you’re human, not machines. Even machines need maintenance. Focus on being a good instructor and cultivate even better talents."

"I will, don’t worry. We won’t embarrass the leader."

Su Yuanyuan asked Hu Zi to drive to Zeng Hongling’s home.

Everyone went to work today. Only Zeng Hongling, the kids, and two people from their hometown were there.

"Yuanyuan, you’re back."

"I start work tomorrow, I have to come back. I came to see our precious one."

Zeng Hongling smiled and handed the child to Su Yuanyuan.

But Su Yuanyuan refused. "I won’t hold the baby, just looking is enough."

"Look at you, scaredy-cat." She had once guessed that Yuanyuan might be afraid of children because of the loss of her own.

Su Yuanyuan just smiled, letting her go on. "How have things been these days?"

"What could happen? We’ve been eating and drinking all day. Now that they’re back to work, looking at Wei Guangxiang is like seeing someone having survived a disaster."

Su Yuanyuan laughed at Zeng Hongling’s description. "It’s not as exaggerated as you say."

"I’m serious, that’s exactly how he’s behaving.

By the way, we might go south to build a factory next month. Wei Guangxiang said he could stay."

"That’s fine. It’s good for him to stay; Daoist Zhan has to return, and a person-in-charge will be arranged there."

"Yuanyuan, I’m taking the kid and leaving too. I want to go back and be with my grandpa and dad."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "You should, but be careful not to miss the opportunity to take care of them."

"But I promised to stay by your side for three years." This is what Zeng Hongling felt conflicted about.

"The opportunity doesn’t permit it now. I’m busy, and so are you. Aren’t we friends? Write to me in the future if you have any issues."

Zeng Hongling nodded, as this was the result of her and her husband’s discussion. She chose family over friendship.

"Don’t be like that, our friendship won’t change." She promptly reassured her downcast friend.

When the child got sleepy, "Hongling, I’m leaving. Take good care of the child."

After leaving the Zeng Family, she went to see the three generations of the Li Family.

Currently, Li Liyun and her siblings hadn’t started school, and they were very happy to see Su Yuanyuan return.

"Sister Yuanyuan, are you staying for dinner today?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, it’s not easy for me to come out. I just came to see you all.

Seeing you’re doing well puts me at ease. Study hard, and if I get a chance to go out, I’ll take you out to see the world."

"That would be great. Sister Yuanyuan, don’t worry, we’ll all work hard."

Li Hongxiang watched their interaction with a smile, feeling touched. He knows they owe their current happiness to Su Yuanyuan.

If he hadn’t had the good fortune of meeting Su Yuanyuan back then, who knows how high the grass on his grave would be by now.

The two kids might not even be alive, considering how young they were back then.

Now, they’re living a happy life and have news of his son and daughter-in-law.

After sitting for a while, Su Yuanyuan said, "I have to go back now. You two keep working hard."

Hu Zi drove her to her place, which was cleaned daily and was very tidy.

"You head back. Drive safely, and call me if anything comes up."

"Sister-in-law, I’m going back now. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’ll always be behind you."

"Okay, I know."

On the sixth, everyone returned to work with smiles on their faces. With the new year came new hopes, and everyone wanted a good omen.

The work was as busy as ever, especially after a few days off, there was no shortage of work.

She had lunch with Lu Chengmin. "On the fifteenth, we have a gathering, inviting all the foreigners for a meal."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "At the restaurant?"

"Yes, at the restaurant, it’s part of our hospitality."

On the tenth, Zhao Qingxiang arrived with five children. The journey was truly exhausting, especially mentally, fearing the kids might be abducted. But now, he felt relieved.

"You few, don’t run around. Really, there are traffickers, and if you’re taken away, you won’t find your way home."

The children were subdued but nodded in agreement.

Zhao Qingxiang took the kids straight home, planning to tidy up and visit his sister’s house in the evening.

"Look over there, that’s the school. The elementary and middle school are together, very close to home. It’ll be convenient for your schooling."

The four children were excited to see the school. When they reached the doorstep, "Uncle, the house is so close to the school."

"Isn’t it? Zhixue, you’re the elder brother, you must study hard. Set an example for your younger siblings. Listen to your big sister. If you’re unsure about anything, consult your uncle."

Zhixue nodded firmly, "Uncle, I will. I’ll take care of my younger siblings."

The house was freezing, just slightly less windy than outside.

Zhao Xiaoling and Zhao Xiaole swiftly started a fire.

The firewood in the house was neatly stacked. Zhao Qingxiang also noticed there was some briquette coal and a small stove inside, something his two sisters had surely prepared.
