Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space
Chapter 141 Departure

Chapter 141: 141 Departure

In the evening, I prepared two servings of rice porridge, and just as it was done, I heard a knock on the door.

I quickly took out three meat buns, two sugar buns, and a section of sausage from the space. Only then did I run to open the door.

"Sis, why did you come back so late?"

"Family relatives arrived late. Let me drink water first, I’m so anxious."

"Hurry up and come in, I’ve made dinner."

"Xinyu, I’ll just take a bath here at your place, I feel terrible, I’ve been rushing all the way."

"Okay."

After taking a bath, Wang Ailing sat at the dining table and wolfed down the food. One bowl of porridge, one meat bun, one sugar bun, the sausage was shared by both of us, and she ate a big chunk of it.

She ate quickly and ate a lot, then paced around the yard.

"Xinyu, this time, I brought over three thousand yuan. The Kong Family took five hundred. The villagers took a total of one thousand, five hundred from my family, and a thousand saved by my relatives."

"Got it, just wait for my news. I’ll call ahead, and you can have them come over to haul it themselves."

"Okay, I’m heading back."

"Let me walk you out."

"No need, I’ve eaten enough, it’s just right to stroll back."

"You can ride the bicycle back, it’ll be convenient to call someone."

"Alright then, I’m off."

Early the next morning, she moved the tank into the side room and started stacking cabbages, layering cabbages, and salt, finally putting a big cleaned stone on top and pouring in room temperature boiled water.

She estimated she would be able to eat it just in time when she came back. Thinking about the pickled cabbage and boiled pork, her mouth watered.

She planned to buy two barrels when she returned; salted vegetables could be pickled too.

Boil water for a bath, preparing dumplings for lunch.

Qian Jun arrived at two in the afternoon, "Let’s set off."

Seeing his serious expression, Jiang Xinyu was speechless, like heading to the battlefield.

The driver was the deputy section chief from the security section, enthusiastically greeted Jiang Xinyu, "Director Jiang, bring back a few hundred jins of fine grain for me."

"Sure, as long as we can transport it back, I’ll let you know."

"Director Jiang is loyal."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qian Jun felt helpless, really not taking him seriously as their superior.

He coughed, Jiang Xinyu glanced at him, and the two continued.

Luckily the road wasn’t long, or else Qian Jun thought he’d be ignored even longer.

The leaders from the locomotive maintenance division were also there today, they pulled over Qian Jun for a talk, then Jiang Xinyu was called over.

"Director Jiang, bring back some fine grain for me this time."

"Okay, but not too much."

"Satisfied with a thousand jins."

"That can be arranged."

The leaders were pleased, obviously their provisions were much better than last time.

Jiang Xinyu’s three big bags also got loaded up.

She had her own room, so in the beginning, she almost didn’t come out, lying inside reading, and sometimes Qian Jun would come over to find her, talking about anything and everything.

Jiang Xinyu got familiar with the onboard staff, she took charge of lunch, and everyone was genuinely grateful to her for that.

Jiang Xinyu thought about being able to get meat back; the weather over there should be cold, right? It’s already below freezing here, possible indeed.

Wei Kaiyun was quite resentful that Jiang Xinyu didn’t call him before leaving, how could she not contact him.

This time they took fourteen days to reach the border, specially stopping, Jiang Xinyu met Xingtian from last time.

"Comrade, you wouldn’t suspect me again this time, would you?"

"Haha, of course not. Sorry about last time. Mainly because this is not a small amount, even selling me tens of thousands of times wouldn’t be enough, I must be cautious.

Comrade, I beg of you, could you get me ten car loads of pine wood?"

Xingtian nodded, knowing that last time they safely transported the grain back just like that.

This time they came over to deliver money, Jiang Xinyu dodged it, she didn’t want to know too much. However, in the end, she still gave Xingtian five thousand yuan.

This purchase was even easier than last time, Jiang Xinyu had much more time. Counting during the day, self-initiated actions during the night, she knew the weight, wouldn’t stay away too long, nor go too far.

The trench coat she desired came in fifty, and she bought herself a leather coat, seeing the black shiny men’s coat, she got one for Wei Kaiyun too. Her favorite leather hats came in a few too. For boots, she bought five pairs, ranging from low tops to high tops.

She bought for Wei Kaiyun too. Feeling a bit wronged, he never gifted her anything. But thinking again, the money was given by him.

Purchased two tons of beef, fifty heads of pork, and five hundred jins of sausage. Also privately collected some and put them in the space.

Now she settled down, not going out at night anymore, Qian Jun finally relaxed. The girl was really daring, she said she didn’t know Russian well, just gestured. Unexpectedly, the others could actually understand, really admirable.

As departure approached, she notified the ranch to send the meat over. They had already helped her pack and freeze it there.

Qian Jun didn’t know what she bought, upon seeing the truckload of meat, he was dumbfounded.

"Jiang Xinyu, you?"

"Mr. Qian, here’s beef, pork, sausage."

"I know, you transported so much?"

"Not bad, brought more money this time."

Qian Jun was speechless, truly underestimated her.

This time, two trains departed together. Cotton loaded in front.

"You come with me then."

Jiang Xinyu agreed, this way she didn’t have to face things herself.

Still stopped at the border. This time stricter than last, harder to talk. Jiang Xinyu stood by Qian Jun, speaking smoothly in Russian, saying good words.

This side, being a warrior nation, so relatively kinder to women than men.

She took the leather bag from Qian Jun’s hand, handed it to the leader, hands clasped, almost kowtowing. Eventually, they got let through, and the leader even gave Jiang Xinyu a bag of milk candy.

Was this a joke for children? But Jiang Xinyu was delighted, quickly took out a big bag of chocolate from her bag, gifting it to him.

As they departed, Jiang Xinyu waved at the person.

Seeing such an operation, Qian Jun decided he’d honestly report back. Or else next time still sending him over without her, he guessed he wouldn’t return.

"Jiang Xinyu, you’re quite capable, go back, learn Russian with me then."

"Oh spare me, the Deputy Governor said my spoken language is at infant level here."

"But without you this time, I wouldn’t have gotten out so easily."

"I dare not claim credit for this, maybe I and this leader got along."

"It’s still your achievement."

Stopped at the same station as last time, they halted. Xingtian was already waiting.

There were many pine logs on one side of the platform. They alighted and explained clearly, this time forty car loads of wheat. Leaving the last four sections, Jiang Xinyu supplemented Xingtian with another two thousand yuan, borrowed from Qian Jun. Before leaving, Xingtian gave Jiang Xinyu a bag of pine nuts. Happy, Jiang Xinyu shared half of the milk candies with Xingtian.
