Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 944 Communal Meal

Li Yungui asked the butcher to put aside the meat for his three nieces, so they could take it back home during the holidays in a few days.

Although the city also has supplies, there isn’t as much meat available. The three sisters have nine and a half pounds of meat, which is quite a big piece.

Li Yungui’s family also got more than fifteen pounds of meat, with eleven pounds of it being prime cuts. It was all fatty meat, including pork belly, and in the evening, there were thirty pounds of wild boar meat. This year alone, they had over forty pounds of meat. This was truly a prosperous year.

Everyone had smiles on their faces. With enough grain to eat and so much meat available, it was definitely the best year ever.

Li Manjiang was sitting by his mother’s side, tending the fire. The mother and son chatted about the situation in the village.

He also learned that his uncle’s younger siblings were at home.

He further learned that the village now had two tractors, and just by helping other villages plant crops, the tractors had already paid for themselves, with some profit left over.

"Mom, our village’s days are getting better."

"Aren’t they? We also have a corn sheller now, and it’s already been sold a lot. They’re even heading to the capital to cast more. When the time comes, they’ll be able to earn even more money. After the fifteenth of the first month, the pesticide factory will start production again, and then our village’s earnings will be constant."

Li Manjiang listened with a face full of smiles. In the past, because the village was surrounded by large mountains and had a small population, there was a lot of wasteland, and life was tough for everyone. Now, things were better with modernized agriculture, making it impossible not to be prosperous.

He never thought the village could have such good fortune. He really wanted to meet Master Wei and Teacher Jiang, whom his mother often mentioned. In the hearts of the villagers, they must already be considered gods.

In fact, it’s fair to treat them as gods, considering they truly created a good life for everyone.

Xiang Dong had already returned after delivering the meat. He sat beside Li Manjiang, feeling envious of serving in the army, but now he wouldn’t leave. With his master here, he longed for the outside world even more, and he could go to the capital.

Li Manjiang knew Xiang Dong was going to the capital and laughed, congratulating his cousin. He told him it was a great opportunity, and he must seize it earnestly.

The class time came. The children, attracted by the smell of meat, ran over. Chaoyang saw his elder brother, and the two of them hugged.

Li Manjiang looked at his younger siblings gathered around, his face full of happy smiles. Nothing was more important than family.

All the grievances faced outside disappeared. Seeing the concerned smiles of his family, what else could make him unwilling to leave?

At this time, Jing Chu and Guodong brought Jianbin and Shi Jingfeifei along.

All the kids naturally longed for excitement, so they came over.

Wei Kaiyun and his group followed behind, carrying their own bowls and chopsticks as this was a communal meal where everyone brought their own utensils.

"Jing Chu, over here." Li Xue waved at them.

Jing Chu and the others ran over, and after seeing their faces, Li Manjiang realized they were the legendary family. You could easily tell they were different from other villagers, especially that little girl—unbelievably beautiful.

"Cheng Lin, you and Hongling go home and get bowls and chopsticks. It’s almost time to eat, isn’t it? I’m hungry." Chaoyang instructed his two little brothers with a smile.

"I’ll go too." Red Army went along, afraid that the two of them might break the bowls and leave them unable to eat.

"Big brother, let me introduce you to my master."

"Sure, I’d love to meet someone so amazing."

"Of course, my master is incredible."

Li Manjiang felt relieved. He was worried that Chaoyang might feel unbalanced because Xiang Dong was going to the capital and he wasn’t, but seeing how close he was to his master, he knew his brother didn’t mind.

Xiang Dong went over too. Wei Kaiyun saw the young man in military attire approaching and recognized him as the eldest son of Li Yungui’s family who had returned.

"Big brother, this is my master. Master, this is my big brother."

Wei Kaiyun handed the bowl and chopsticks to Chaoyang, and they both smiled and shook hands.

"Wei Kaiyun."

"Li Manjiang."

"Thank you, Master Wei. The village’s great transformation is all thanks to you."

"No, it’s because everyone is united."

Li Manjiang looked at the four men standing together. They were not ordinary people. The fact that the village could attract such individuals was truly fortunate.

After a few polite words, Wei Kaiyun took the bowls and chopsticks, and then Jiang Feifei came over.

"Dad, I’m hungry. When will we eat?"

"Soon."

Actually, Jiang Feifei wasn’t hungry; it was just too cold outside. She didn’t want to come initially, but her brother dragged her along.

She just wanted to eat quickly and go back to snuggle on the kang. Who wants to stay outside in the cold?

"No rush. It won’t be long. With so many people eating, Feifei can eat a lot."

"Dad, there are a lot of people eating at home too."

Han Xiangjun laughed heartily and picked up Feifei.

"That’s right, your family has a lot of people eating. If you don’t want to stay, shall we go back?"

Jiang Feifei shook her head; at home, only her mom and younger siblings were left. If she went back, she’d have to cook for herself. She’d rather eat here; the communal meal wasn’t bad.

Li Manjiang looked at this delicate little girl and found her incredibly adorable.

Shi Jing ran over quickly, "Dad, hurry and take food to mom. I’ve already told the village chief’s wife, and Sister Jing Chu asked me to come get bowls."

"Alright, I’ll go."

Wei Kaiyun nodded with a smile, took four bowls, and left the rest to Old Yang.

He got a bowl of dishes and a bowl of rice for his wife.

"Xiao Wei, is this enough?"

"It’s enough; this is more than she can eat." His wife always said the home’s food was too good and worried about gaining weight, so she didn’t eat much. But what’s wrong with gaining a little weight? It must be nice to hold.

Wei Kaiyun hurried away with the bowls, worried they would get cold if he delayed.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After the meal, Li Manjiang returned home. His younger siblings were going to class soon, so when they got home, they all gathered around him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Big brother, how long are you staying at home?" Chaoyang was most concerned about this. If his brother left when he came back, it’d be a real tragedy.

"Leaving on the sixth."

"That’s alright. Tomorrow, Xiang Dong and I will go with the Jin Family Village to fetch the tractor, and we expect to return on the twenty-eighth of December. I’m worried I won’t make it back while you’re still home."

"My brothers are really promising now."

Chaoyang scratched his head with a smile at the compliment.

"Big brother, didn’t you say you would bring back your future sister-in-law? Where is she?"

Li Manjiang’s smile froze for a moment, "We broke up."

The kids were all stunned. They were almost going home to meet the parents, and now it had ended? But seeing their brother’s expression wasn’t good, they didn’t dare to ask.

Afterward, the three little ones asked about the situation in the military, and they were particularly envious knowing they got to eat meat every month.
