Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Zheng Lanying watched as Su Yuanyuan ate breakfast by herself. She really wanted to eat, too. Thinking about the money in her hand, she steeled herself to sit down and ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and two fried pancakes.

Su Yuanyuan deliberately slowed down her eating pace, waiting until Zheng Lanying finished her meal before getting up to leave.

Zheng Lanying followed behind Su Yuanyuan, who also carried luggage, as they arrived at the pesticide factory.

"Xiao Su, quickly put your luggage inside. You came early. The truck won't come this early."

"Sir, I'm just anxious, so I came here to wait."

Zheng Lanying tried to enter but was stopped.

"Sir, I'm from the Second Farm."

"Where's your introduction letter?" The man was all business, disliking the look in this girl's eyes.

Zheng Lanying didn't have any introduction letter, and was left speechless.

This man had quite the personality, directly shutting the door and going inside.

Although Su Yuanyuan wouldn't leave Zheng Lanying behind, she had no intention of managing her affairs. She wasn't that kind.

The two of them sat in a room chatting.

"Xiao Su, you can definitely make it back in time for the New Year."

"Yes, but I also want to visit the fertilizer factory. I figure if I talk to the driver here, they might give me a lift, and I should be able to make it back in time for the New Year."

"You girl really have some guts, running everywhere."

"Haha, sir, this fertilizer is really good stuff, yields will be much higher."

The old man was also from the countryside and naturally knew about farming.

After a short while, more people started coming in for work. This old man was very diligent, standing outside the main gate.

The off-duty bell rang. Now there were many people coming in and out. Zheng Lanying wanted to sneak in, but how could this old man let her in?

Around ten to nine, two trucks arrived. Su Yuanyuan stood by the gate, greeted them, and got onto one of the trucks, which they drove straight in.

Loading the trucks was not quick, mainly because these were fifty-pound large barrels. If they wanted more pesticides next year, these large barrels would have to be brought back.

They even gave Su Yuanyuan a phone number so she could preorder in advance.

Su Yuanyuan was thrilled; she could ride the truck next time, which was quite convenient.

Not until nearly one o'clock did they finish loading the trucks.

Standing outside waiting, Zheng Lanying was furious that Su Yuanyuan ignored her and regretted getting on bad terms with her.

Shen Shao Hong came over. Su Yuanyuan handed him the slip from the plastic factory, and he took the driver to load up the truck. Su Yuanyuan took another truck to load sprayers.

"Mr. Shen, the female comrade outside needs to go to our farm, so let her get on the truck."

This issue had already been explained to the truck driver.

"Okay, I'll bike over."

Zheng Lanying saw a truck come out and stop at the gate, finally letting out a sigh of relief. She scrambled up quickly, thanking everyone with a sweet smile!

Actually, Su Yuanyuan really didn't do it on purpose. The driver just knew this woman wanted to go to the transport team and had bragged that she could do anything. So he disliked her.

Even though she smiled at him, the driver paid no attention to Zheng Lanying.

Zheng Lanying felt awkward and thought Su Yuanyuan had spoken ill of her, so she said nothing.

The two trucks had arranged to meet down the road in an hour, so they each set off.

Before leaving, Su Yuanyuan divided ten pounds of snacks into three portions, giving three pounds each to the two drivers.

They had never encountered such good fortune before, so they were very grateful to Su Yuanyuan.

Zheng Lanying stayed on the truck; they were just loading plastic sheets, making it the quickest load.

Shen Shao Hong waited until the truck was loaded before cycling away.

Zheng Lanying noticed that this male comrade had visited Su Yuanyuan several times and claimed to have a partner, but remained ambiguously close to her.

This made her look down on Su Yuanyuan even more.

After the two trucks met up, they set off together.

At mealtime, everyone ate their own food, usually grabbing something simple at a restaurant. They only stopped to refuel at the agricultural machine station in each city.

Everyone was in a hurry, fearing that snow would fall.

Su Yuanyuan was very understanding, but Zheng Lanying felt it was too exhausting.

So she kept complaining. The driver was very courteous and didn't say anything.

Nonetheless, too much nagging can get on your nerves. Suddenly, he stopped, causing the truck behind to brake abruptly, too.

"Get out; I'm too annoyed by you. You're affecting me."

The other driver didn't know what was happening, so Su Yuanyuan and the driver both got out.

"What's going on?"

"This woman is too annoying; I'm not taking her."

Zheng Lanying was also startled and, facing the accusation, began to cry.

Su Yuanyuan looked sternly at Zheng Lanying. "If you don't cooperate, you'll get off at the next city by yourself."

Zheng Lanying wanted to retort, but she felt it was inappropriate now, so she said nothing.

Su Yuanyuan told the driver, "Comrade, I'm very sorry. If she's like this again, just let her off."

Eventually, the two trucks set off again. This time Zheng Lanying behaved much better, not daring to complain anymore.

During meals, whatever they ate, she ate. Though her money was running out, she thought if Su Yuanyuan could earn three thousand, so could she. So spending now didn't trouble her.

When she crossed over, the autumn harvest was over, so she really hadn't experienced farm work, which is why she thought so naively.

It took them a total of six days to reach the farm. Luckily, it hadn't snowed yet, for which they were thankful.

Su Yuanyuan had arranged with the driver to bring back some wheat and sweet potatoes, with each driver wanting two hundred pounds of wheat. Everyone was happy.

At the farm, the truck drove straight to the headquarters.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Honestly, Feng Baoshan was about to go home and, seeing the two trucks, couldn't stop grinning. He immediately told Accountant Zhang and the others to find people to unload the trucks.

Su Yuanyuan jumped off the truck, "Director Feng, I took the liberty of ordering large barrels of pesticides, otherwise this year we wouldn't get any. It's not that pesticides can't be produced but that there's not enough packaging."

"No problem, we can use large packaging here. Xiao Su, you did very well."

"Director Feng, I also ordered a truck of herbicide and brought back twenty sprayers for the headquarters. The remaining ten are mine.

And for these two types of pesticides, I ordered five extra barrels each, with my own money."

"No worries, no worries," Feng Baoshan said with a smile. "People like you being able to get them is already very impressive. How could I complain about you bringing them for me?"
