Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine-Chapter 1188: Arrangements

They started buying item by item according to Feng Shanshan’s list: pots, pans, bowls, and daily necessities. They filled up an entire car.

Back home, the sewing machine and bicycle were moved inside. The couple placed the purchased items one by one.

This was truly a joy and a happiness shared by two people.

They were slowly building their own home, a home where they would live together for the rest of their lives.

The two kept busy until noon, when they finally finished organizing everything. Now, they just lacked some personal belongings to make it a complete home.

Hu Zi told Feng Shanshan where the valuable things in the house were hidden before they went for lunch.

Feng Shanshan wore a smile all morning. She had never experienced this feeling before. It could only be described as contentment.

After lunch, they went to the hostel to check out. Feng Shanshan had brought quite a lot with her, intending not to return. She was like a rootless plant, wherever she went became her home.

Hu Zi understood Feng Shanshan’s intention. It was better this way; they were both alone, coming together to form a family, which was also a way to comfort each other.

"How did you get all this stuff from the train station to the hostel?"

"I was lucky enough to find a tricycle right away. It was fully loaded with my things. I just couldn’t bring myself to get on, so I followed behind."

Hu Zi laughed, "You really are very lucky, finding a ride just as you walked out. Tricycles are scarce."

"Yes, I think so too."

They made three trips back and forth until everything was loaded into the car.

"I finally understand the value of a shattered home; I only picked the things I needed, and there are still plenty left to give away."

Hu Zi just smiled; for a girl to live on her own for so many years, it showed she was quite an impressive person.

Hu Zi was curious but didn’t dare to ask.

Living alone as a girl must have been especially difficult, but she persevered without starting a family.

Actually, for a woman who doesn’t want to struggle, the best solution is to marry, right?

They arrived home, and unloading the car was pretty quick.

Feng Shanshan was like a joyful little bee, organizing her belongings, placing this here and that there.

Truly, she didn’t want to throw anything away; everything seemed useful.

Isn’t life like this? Gradually replacing things in the future will do.

Hu Zi watched her and said, "I’ll go buy some grains. We need food in the future."

Feng Shanshan didn’t even look up, "Go ahead, also prepare some vegetables."

"Alright, I got it."

Feng Shanshan finished organizing her things, feeling that the home really felt different. It gave a warm feeling, at least to herself.

The water already boiled; she wiped all the furniture again, making it look even cleaner.

Hu Zi returned with cornmeal, rice, white flour, noodles, millet, sorghum rice, and sweet potato flour.

Everything was fully stocked.

He placed them all in the kitchen. "I’ll organize them; you go buy the vegetables so we can have dinner at home tonight."

Hu Zi smiled, watching her quickly organize the grains.

Hu Zi went out again, having just arranged for someone to deliver meat, needing only oil and various seasonings.

This time, he went to the mall, where Liu Changlin already had things prepared.

Green vegetables came from the supply and marketing cooperative. What vegetables could you get nowadays? He bought a few cabbages, some green onions, and garlic.

Cellophane noodles, bean curd sheets. He also bought a few aluminum pots. In this way, he got a pot full of tofu.

He bought a plastic bucket filled with soybean oil.

Now you could say everything was fully equipped, just waiting for the two of them to cook dinner.

In fact, Hu Zi yearned for this kind of life.

Previously, he had no ideas, no suitable person. Now with such an opportunity, how could it not be likeable?

While at home, Feng Shanshan didn’t remain idle; she organized the kitchen again, placing everything where it would be convenient to use.

This was her home, her own territory, right?

Someone knocked on the door, delivering a large piece of pork hind leg, looking like it weighed twenty pounds, and a large piece of suet.

"Comrade, this is too much, how much does it cost?"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Hu Zi has already paid for it, you don’t need to worry about it." The person said and left.

Inwardly, he was bemused; Brother Hu Zi must have been like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, finding such a beautiful wife.

It really made people quite envious. Sister-in-law seemed to be a gentle person.

Hu Zi returned to see his little wife rendering lard.

"We don’t have an oil can at home, did you buy one?"

"No, look at what I bought, is there anything missing?"

Upon hearing Hu Zi’s words, Feng Shanshan washed her hands clean and started arranging the items one by one.

"We’re missing soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and baking soda."

"Alright, I got it, I’ll go prepare them."

When Hu Zi returned this time, the house was already filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Hu Zi helped in the kitchen, the two of them seemingly having endless conversation. Yuanyuan

"You have to find someone, once the temperature rises, we need to build a kang. Look for a professional; we can’t let them ruin the home."

"Okay, I know, I heard from my teammates that their wives all love beds."

Feng Shanshan coughed. "I just like a warm kang. If Su Yuanyuan hadn’t talked me into it, I’d want to go to the south, it should be more comfortable than here."

In a previous life, she was from the North. For health reasons, she wanted to see the south if there was a chance.

Hu Zi laughed, "You think too highly of it; winter in the south is even more unbearable. You’d be more uncomfortable there.

The cold there is different from the cold in the north."

"That’s why I didn’t go. Someday when there’s a chance, I’ll definitely visit the south."

This time, Hu Zi didn’t say anything; he couldn’t leave here, and he didn’t have the time to accompany her. He wasn’t willing to let his wife go south by herself.

Feng Shanshan, having lived alone for years, could cook all sorts of dishes.

Looking at a pot full of tofu, she kept a piece, cutting the rest into small pieces for Hu Zi to freeze outside.

The supply and marketing cooperative should sell tofu every day.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I feel like having dumplings."

"Okay, I’ll prepare it for you to chop the filling. I’ll make the dough."

With so much meat, Feng Shanshan wasn’t stingy, using plenty of meat, letting Hu Zi chop the filling.

The two of them made dumplings in the kitchen. Hu Zi couldn’t do anything at first, but he learned quickly, and shortly he could also roll the dough.

Hu Zi thought this must be how ordinary couples lived—cooking together, eating together.

"Tomorrow, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely go to the garrison. I already asked Daqing; Qi Yan and the other three haven’t left yet."
