Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

"That's true. But I still think a farm is nice too. You can raise pigs and chickens."

At this point, Yuanyuan stopped talking. She couldn't lie, so she simply chose to say nothing.

"Yuanyuan, do you have time tomorrow? Will you accompany me to the transport team to have a look?"

"I might have to go to the transport team tomorrow, but I must go to the pesticide factory in the morning to see if I can make it. I don't have time."

Zheng Lanying sighed, "I'm a bit scared to go by myself."

Yuanyuan was certain that this girl must have been quite young when she came over.

"I really can't be sure on this side."

"Alright then, I'll go myself. What if they fancy you when you go?"

This is really some fragile sisterhood.

"I can't even drive. What would they fancy about me?"

"True. I definitely have to try tomorrow. I can't leave like this and be at peace."

"Isn't rural life nice?"

"I don't like it."

Then there's nothing to be done. It's unstable now, isn't hiding out in the countryside fine? Everyone has their own aspirations. It's not easy to say, in the eyes of others, one is just someone who doesn't strive.

How would they know my joys?

There's nearly half a year to wander around, and it's all above board. Isn't that great? Besides, if you make money from farming, you can spend it comfortably.

The two girls talked and talked until they fell asleep. Yuanyuan woke up early the next day. After she finished her morning routine, Miss Zheng still hadn't woken up. She was this lazy, probably spoiled at home before.

She didn't wake her but went out for breakfast herself. She must be extremely cautious outside from now on. It's hard to see the differences at a glance, but she doesn't want to be speculated about.

If the transformation spell Tan Shaoting taught could be undone right away, then she wouldn't have to worry about any little actions in the future.

Breakfast was actually very nice. It was the fried pancake Yuanyuan liked, and she also had some tofu pudding, although she really didn't like the gravy here.

After eating her fill, she felt much better. Whatever happens doesn't really concern her. She and Lan Ying only know each other and have just slept in the same room.

When she arrived at the pesticide factory, the shifts hadn't changed yet.

Actually, she was a bit afraid of being with Lan Ying, feeling like it was her own mirror. So, she left. This girl should be leaving today, right?

She engaged in a sporadic conversation with the gatekeeper.

Time felt especially slow while waiting.

Peng Haishan came over for work and saw Yuanyuan at the gate.

He could actually understand this kind of anxious mood.

"Do you want to wait in our office?" he smiled and asked.

Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I'll wait here."

"It'll take at least until after nine o'clock to get results since they have to confirm with the workshop."

"Okay, I know, I'll just wait here."

After Peng Haishan left, the old gatekeeper started gossiping. Yuanyuan felt exasperated. Is it that men and women have to be in that kind of relationship?

"No, Mr. Peng and the others met me on the train. They helped me because they pitied me coming here alone."

"Oh, really?" What kind of tone? What expression? That meaningful glance almost drove Yuanyuan crazy.

Turns out gossip knows no gender or age.

Yuanyuan hurriedly changed the subject; otherwise, she really couldn't stand being speculated about like that.

This gatekeeper seemed pretty lonely too. Finally, there was someone to chat with, so the conversation box opened wide.

Yuanyuan also picked up some useful information. Cao Boyang and Shen Shao Hong arrived one after the other. The two also invited Yuanyuan in, but their hopes were rejected.

Yuanyuan really didn't want to be speculated about and ogled, alright?

"Girl, don't worry. I think what you're waiting for won't take long even if it's not shipped in the next couple of days. Don't worry."

"I hope so too. Honestly, I'm thinking about going home for the New Year, you know?" This year, she really had that thought. Since coming here, she has always been outside. This year, maybe she should stay.

Yuanyuan absolutely refused to admit it was because she was scared by Zheng Lanying.

More and more people arrived at work, this was the night shift clocking out.

After the shift change, there should be a meeting. Hopefully, it would be quick, but they still had to confirm the sprayers, which were consumables but necessary.

This year, they used them to spray herbal concoctions on the plants. If it were pesticides, the cotton seedlings wouldn't be eaten by insects, but they'd probably get burnt from the chemicals. Even if they aren't durable and they're expensive, they have to be prepared.

Yuanyuan thought about it; she wouldn't bring too many sprayers. Just enough for a few familiar families and maybe a dozen or so for the station. If others needed some, they'd have to procure them themselves.

She chatted away while thinking, never neglecting her thoughts.

It wasn't until nine-thirty that someone came to call her.

Yuanyuan was excited to the core. They hadn't forgotten about her.

When she arrived at the supply and sales department, everything was arranged. Goods would be dispatched in three days.

With this, Yuanyuan was relieved. Today, she could finalize the sprayers and go to the transport team to book a truck.

There was still plenty of time. Even if there were some surprises, there would be time.

She happily went back to chat with the gatekeeper again.

"I don't even have to ask to know you're at ease now. Otherwise, why the smile? You came in with a long face, didn't I tell you? It wouldn't be too late. Now you're reassured, right?"

Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, now I'm at ease. I'm going to invite Mr. Peng to join me in ordering sprayers at noon, and head to the transport team to book the truck."

"Girl, this means you miss home?"

"Isn't that right? I want to go home."

In the supply and sales office, Peng Haishan and the other two chatted while working.

"I'm taking Yuanyuan to order from the sprayer factory at noon."

Shen Shao Hong looked up and didn't say anything.

"Hai Shan, will the girl have time to make sausages? I took some home yesterday, and my family liked it so much they're asking for more."

"Let's have lunch together at noon and ask her. I bet she'll agree."

"I've prepared three sets of small intestines, a hundred pounds of pork, and two hundred pounds of sweet potato flour."

Yesterday, the Peng family praised the sausages non-stop. They thought it tasted even better than braised pork. Mom's idea was to get more, so the New Year's gifts would look better.

Only Shen Shao Hong ate by himself, planning to visit home on Sunday and bring some back for them to try.

The three chatted quietly until the leader walked in, then they focused on their work.

Yuanyuan felt at ease, so the conversation expanded. The gatekeeper wasn't just any old man; he filled her in on stories from fighting the Japanese back then.
