Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 581 New Friends

"No doubt about it, no doubt about it.

Xiao Wei, you might not know, but this year the wheat harvest in our village has been particularly good, all thanks to the wheat seeds your wife brought back. The whole village is grateful to you both.

Furthermore, you also promised to teach the village children to read, which is a great kindness to our entire village.

Rest assured, in our village, everyone is very harmonious, without any unnecessary quarrels. Our community is simple and sincere, and we repay kindness." Village Chief Li was also doing his best to help Wei Kaiyun gain a good reputation among the villagers.

"Yes, yes. The village chief is right, your family can live in the village without worry."

"Then thank you all. I, Wei Kaiyun, promise that if any good opportunities arise in the future, I will surely think of everyone."

At this moment, men from over thirty households in the village had gathered here.

Because the winter temperature is too low and there’s nothing much to do, everyone likes to gather around for some excitement.

Seeing so many people, Wei Kaiyun weighed his thoughts, "We actually have an idea, that is, thinking that next year we should all work a bit harder and plant more cabbages. By autumn, we can store them in the cellar. We’ll wait until now, asking Old Yang for some channels to sell, then no matter how much we produce, it can be sold."

Everyone listened and weighed it in their minds, immediately realizing this is definitely feasible.

"Xiao Wei, this can really work."

"Indeed it can. At that time, our village can even directly contact the supply and marketing cooperative, selling to them in the name of the collective, and everyone can earn money."

Following this, groups of three or five people were discussing the matter nearby, all feeling it was feasible.

"Xiao Wei, you educated folks really have good ideas, our village will plant more cabbages this year." The village chief made the decision, and everyone felt reassured.

"Right, with my current health, I can’t work, so I’m thinking of offering one yuan a day, but no meals included, after the New Year, everyone can help dig the cellar at my house."

Village Chief Li smiled, "Sure, no problem with that, after the New Year, all the relatives have visited, everyone has nothing to do, and they can earn a bit of money for cigarettes, they will definitely be willing."

"Then everyone can come over, a bigger cellar is better, can store more vegetables, not only cabbage, even green onions will be snatched up by now."

"Right, right, Xiao Wei is right, everyone should go back and discuss with their wives at home, there’s not much to do now, if there’s interest, start digging at home. Otherwise, it’s just idle chatter."

Everyone burst into laughter, "Village chief, when you go home, you need to discuss with my sister-in-law, I don’t have to, if I say east, my wife wouldn’t dare go west."

"Just you show off, what’s the point of being tough with your own wife?"

Another burst of laughter filled the room.

Jiang Xinyu watched Wei Kaiyun fitting in and was relieved.

He is still very much in danger now, but if the villagers help cover it up, that’s another matter.

"Mom, Dad seems very happy." Jiang Feifei held her mom’s hand and asked, looking up.

"Yes, your dad is working hard. Working hard for our family."

Jiang Feifei smiled, "Right, our whole family should work hard."

Jiang Xinyu also smiled and said, "Right, we all work hard together, the whole family working hard."

Over there Shi Jing and Jianbin were watching, finding everything new, the adults laughingly told them to go play aside and be careful not to bump into anything.

Shi Jing ran to Jiang Xinyu’s side, "Mom, it smells so good."

"Stew meat naturally smells good, I want to have two pieces of meat later." Feifei stretched out two fingers and gestured.

"Xiao Jiang, your daughter is so smart." The village chief’s wife looked at Feifei lovingly and said.

"Just a child.

Big sister-in-law, assign me some work too."

"No need, lunch will be ready soon; today we’re having sorghum and cornmeal stew, the aunt responsible for it is exceptionally skilled. You should try it later."

"Alright, hearing you say that makes me want to eat it."

At that moment, a group of young wives came over, looking around twenty years old, Qu Xiaoli introduced them to Jiang Xinyu.

"All of you are about the same age, we’ll see each other often in the future, build good relationships."

"Aunt, we will definitely get along well with Xiao Jiang, after all, I want to learn how to read from her." The cheerful Li Lichun’s wife, Wang Aizhen, said with a smile.

"No problem, I will definitely teach. You can start learning with the children at first, but since you’re older, I can separate you by skill level later. Everyone in our village will be able to read and read newspapers."

"That’s wonderful, Xiao Jiang, then we’ll depend on you." This was Li Shuangjiang’s wife, Tang Fenglan.

"No trouble at all, I would just be learning more characters myself."

"Don’t be modest, the village chief said you graduated from a prestigious university, maybe you can even train someone to get into university from our village." This was said by Gao Xiaochun, Li Xiaoshuang’s wife.

The three seemed straightforward and Jiang Xinyu was willing to associate with them; people are quite simple, it’s just a matter of fate; it all felt right at first sight.

"Haha, that’s great, having university students from our village would be something for the whole village to be proud of.

Big sister-in-law, has village chief big brother already organized the classroom?"

"Everything’s ready, we started the fire today, Uncle Dashuan made a big blackboard, though it’s not black. We also have chalk, and your big brother tried it, you can write on it."

"That’s good, let big brother inform everyone, tomorrow we’ll start at 9 in the morning and end at 12, starting again at 2 in the afternoon until 5."

"Alright, I’ll go tell your big brother right away." Qu Xiaoli said and ran off.

Everyone was truly enthusiastic about learning to read; after all, their village was small, and attending school required over an hour’s walk to the township. It’s bearable for adults, but such a long journey is too much for children; their families worry.

The main issue is also the cost, many cannot afford it, those wanting to spend money on schooling find various reasons preventing them from doing so.

With Jiang Xinyu’s arrival, not needing to spend money and staying in the village, of course, everyone was willing.

"Xiao Jiang, is writing difficult?"

"At first, it might feel awkward, but once you get used to it, it’s actually quite easy. I wonder if the sandpan is ready? Recognizing characters mainly comes from practice, you have to practice often."

"Yes, they are ready, we have one for each of us, both of us want to learn."

Jiang Xinyu looked at Wang Aizhen; her name is quite similar to Wang Ailing, so subconsciously she felt a sense of closeness.

"You should learn more, having more skills doesn’t burden you. Maybe there are good opportunities waiting for you in the future, so everyone should work hard."

All four of them smiled indeed, who knows what good things might come.

Everyone wants a good life, desires leisure, not willing to toil and sweat in the countryside.
