Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 927: 927 Arrives

Chengzi just listens to instructions since he hasn’t been to the sanatorium from here before.

"Sister-in-law, it doesn’t actually feel that much cooler here."

"Hmm, it’s okay. It’s still quite cool in the mornings and evenings."

"Then it’s quite enjoyable."

When the two arrived at the sanatorium, the person in charge came out to greet them. "Minister Su. Welcome."

"Mr. Jiang, sorry for the trouble."

Jiang Zhiyong quickly waved his hand, "Minister Su, this is my duty. Please come in."

Shao Huade is spending another summer here this year. Seeing the car in the yard, "Xiao Su has come, hasn’t he?"

His security guard looked and said, "Old leader, it is indeed Minister Su."

"Ah, she’s still not letting go. This girl, why is she so persistent?

Let’s go down too. I haven’t contacted Old Zhou since making that call. He’s probably mad at me."

The security guard dared not say anything, but still pushed the old commander over.

Yuanyuan sat on the sofa. "Minister Su, someone’s already arranging a room."

"Alright, I’ll be staying for a few days. It’s truly troublesome."

"Leader, you saying that makes me feel very apprehensive."

Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

"Minister Su, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? Should I ask Master Li to cook seafood porridge for you?"

"Sure. I’ve been craving Master Li’s cooking."

"When Master Li knows Minister Su is here, he’ll surely show off his skills."

"Indeed, I’d love to taste Master Li’s cooking over these next few days."

"Xiao Su."

Yuanyuan stood up smiling, looked at the approaching Shao Huade and laughed, "The old commander just loves it here. Comes every year."

"It’s good here, with food—good food—and people serving us. It’s lively with many people, cooler than at home. Of course, I come every year."

"That’s the right way to think. After half a lifetime of hardships, now it’s time to enjoy."

Shao Huade had already reached Yuanyuan’s side. Seeing the girl who hasn’t changed much, he sighed inside, is there really no hope for my son?

"How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Barring any surprises, I’ll head back on the fifteenth."

"That’s right, your work is just too busy. Keep up the good work."

"Even if I don’t want to work hard, I have no choice. Always under some pressure, always bullied. I just can’t stand it; otherwise, I’d live more freely."

"That’s how it is. As long as you’re poor and behind, people will look down on you. Work hard."

The two sat down to chat. Jiang Zhiyong quickly went to make arrangements. The big boss hasn’t eaten yet.

"It’s good to have arrived early, so you can rest a few days."

"It’s been nearly a year, and I haven’t had a single day’s rest, yet people still see me as an outlier—everyone else works overtime till late night. I go home to rest once I’m off work."

Shao Huade laughed. "You know, it’s already quite impressive for you to hold on for so long. Leaving work early isn’t bad as long as your work efficiency during the day is high."

"That’s what I think too. And I’m already feeling tired at this age, can’t imagine how the older generations managed."

"It’s just about holding your ground. Many think like you—unwilling to be bullied, unwilling to be looked down upon—you’ve got to work hard then.

We came from nothing at all. Had to walk every step on our own, so of course, we had to work hard."

"Ah, hearing what you said, looks like I’ll have to work harder and do overtime in the future."

Shao Huade laughed, "You’re different. You’re smart and capable."

Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "I’m just like everyone else, I just have fewer worries and tend to be more impulsive."

"Being too gentle sometimes isn’t good. You should be a bit more spirited. That’s what I admire about you."

In the main hall, the electric fan was on, but it was still sultry and hot.

Jiang Zhiyong brought over three bowls of noodles, one large bowl, two small ones, plus a plate of pancakes, two plates of side dishes, and a plate of shrimp.

"Just eat here. The dining room’s too hot. Old commander, have some too, you didn’t eat much at noon."

"Old Li’s seafood noodles are really tasty. Xiao Su is here, it makes me happy. So, I’ll eat a bit too."

Yuanyuan nodded while eating, "Master Li’s cooking is the best. These noodles have a great texture, and the soup is delicious and savory."

Those pancakes were for Chengzi, as Jiang Zhiyong knew both the old commander’s and Minister Su’s appetites.

The three of them ate very satisfied, having company made the meal all the more enjoyable. Shao Huade even ate a small bowl of noodles, which was unheard of before.

After eating their fill, it was too hot outside, so they could only wander around the living room.

Chengzi had no problem; no matter how much he ate, he wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. But Shao Huade couldn’t do that, so his guard let him wander around the lobby.

"As you get older, it really doesn’t work. Sigh, even eating a little is a challenge."

"Old commander, everyone gets old. One day we’ll all reach this stage."

"No choice but to accept it. Xiao Su, you don’t need to keep me company, go rest as well. It’s a rare chance, take a nap."

Yuanyuan didn’t stand on ceremony, "Alright, in the evening I’ll push you for a stroll by the seaside."

After Yuanyuan went to rest, only then did Shao Huade sit down, "Let’s go rest as well."

Really can’t compare to before, truly can’t boast about past glories.

Yuanyuan went to her room upstairs, meticulously checked around, finding nothing unusual before entering space.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, still the most comfortable.

In that living environment, I don’t dare to enter space carelessly, who knows if there are any spies or experts watching? At that time, no matter how skilled you are, it won’t help.

In the evening, she had seafood porridge. It was really delicious. They also made a salad for Yuanyuan, which she loves most. Light and tasty.

The next day, Chengzi drove, and the two went to the market. They bought a lot of dried shrimp to send to Zhao Yanli for distribution among everyone.

No other special preparations were made, supplies here aren’t particularly abundant.

"Sister-in-law, you really are familiar with this place."

"How could I not be? Back then, Hongling and I walked around several times. We visited every village in the vicinity."

"Sister-in-law, you really like those kind of days, don’t you?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, I really like the days of freedom, but it’s beyond my control."

When the three kids come back, should I step back? Probably not. They wouldn’t allow it. The possibility of stepping back is very small.

Working means I can see the children every day, and that’s already quite good. At least we’re not separated by distance.

On the morning of the fourteenth, the two went to Taolin Port. The old village chief had arranged everything, still the same four people as before.

"Then I’m relieved. I’ll arrive in the village by nine o’clock." Yuanyuan felt assured.
