Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Tan Shaoting, this guy really has no restraint.

"No, let's cultivate. Try it, I feel like my strength has increased."

Tan Shaoting knew this girl was procrastinating, but since she wanted to practice, he just went along with her.

"Yuanyuan, actually dual cultivation is faster."

"I don't want to, I want to try it. Suddenly leveling up, I'm really not used to it."

"That means we are destined to be together." Tan Shaoting was even more pleased now.

Both took a cup of Spiritual Spring Water. Meditated and cultivated.

Su Yuanyuan indeed felt much smoother, with a feeling of floating like an immortal.

Tan Shaoting's experience was even more profound. It turned out that combining together could have such an effect, which he hadn't expected.

They both finished collecting energy, and it was already eight in the evening. They ate dumplings again, Tan Shaoting's favorite.

He ate one dumpling, glanced at Su Yuanyuan, as if watching her eat made it taste even better.

After washing up, Tan Shaoting hurried onto the bed, undressed and lay under the covers waiting for Su Yuanyuan, in a way that really made Su Yuanyuan feel embarrassed.

When Su Yuanyuan got on the bed, Tan Shaoting was finally able to fulfill his wishes again.

That night brought Tan Shaoting immense satisfaction.

Su Yuanyuan found it a bit difficult to keep up with him, but he still enjoyed it greatly.

Holding her contentedly, "Yuanyuan, when I go back, I'll take on a few higher-level missions, so I can take a leave in the fall. I'll come to see you then."

"No, let's go treasure hunting instead. We're both heading there.

Don't worry, if I don't meet you there, I'll wait for you. If you don't come, I'll wait until the twelfth lunar month.

Then I'll come back on my own, I won't go in alone, rest assured."

Tan Shaoting truly didn't want to tell her the address, but he also knew that if he didn't, it would really waste a lot of time.

"Yuanyuan, I'm worried about you."

"What's there to worry about? I'll wait for you, don't worry, I'm very cautious with my life, I won't joke about it."

"You have to remember what you said. You must wait for me."

"Okay, I know. I'll definitely wait for you. Why don't you trust me so much?"

Reluctantly, Tan Shaoting told Su Yuanyuan the address. Then, they started a new round.

The next day, Tan Shaoting got up to serve Su Yuanyuan, but still received several eye rolls from her.

Really, too undisciplined, this isn't good.

Time always seemed to pass too quickly when they were together, and before they knew it, it was already the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth of the first lunar month.

To Tan Shaoting, these five days were simply heavenly. He had never experienced it before and didn't know how intoxicating married life could be.

On the Lantern Festival, Su Yuanyuan brought out several types of stuffed rice balls.

Tan Shaoting didn't like sweet things, but since it was festive food, he ate two bowls, though he ended up having a few buns to feel full.

In the evening, they watched the moon in the courtyard, the moon here seemed particularly bright; even though it was cold outside, the silly two stood there for more than ten minutes.

After a full meal, it was Tan Shaoting's favorite time. During the day, his wife wouldn't allow it, so he had plenty of energy at night.

Zhao Yanli and her sister were also eating festival rice balls, but made with sticky sorghum flour.

On the farm, some families didn't have sticky rice and just ate dumplings. Actually, this was quite popular too.

Although now every household planted wheat on the farm, they couldn't eat white flour every day. So the kids were still very fond of it.

"Big sis, I wonder if Yuanyuan's family has rice balls?"

"Of course. Yuanyuan also has sticky sorghum. Don't worry."

"I want to bring her some." Before Yuanyuan got married, she would definitely visit once every day or two. But now it's different, the couple hasn't come out, and big sis won't let her disturb them.

"No need. Xiao Tan will leave in a few days. You definitely shouldn't disturb the couple."

"But I miss Yuanyuan."

"Wait until Xiao Tan leaves, then you can go find Yuanyuan."

Zhao Yanli was really dissatisfied but obediently didn't go.

Zheng Lanying didn't have sticky rice flour, so she still ate corn grits porridge at night.

While eating, she shed tears. In her past life, although not a rich family's daughter, her life was reasonably well-off, and she could eat whatever she wanted.

Even though her parents divorced and didn't pay much attention to her, money was never lacking. During her university years, her monthly allowance was always given in full and in advance.

Not like now. It's just corn grits porridge day after day, even scared to make steamed cornbread, fearing that the grain wouldn't last until next autumn.

Actually, there's no need to think. The grain surely wouldn't last until the harvest; she needed to eat, and so did the little donkey. But now, she figured it out. She might not turn out well, and if farming really didn't work out, how would she repay the farm's money and grains owed?

Previously, she might have thought she could definitely make it, but now she's uncertain. She had never done farm work before, knowing nothing, afraid of getting nothing in her first year.

She's aware if she doesn't fulfill her duties, she won't get paid at all. Moreover, her survival this year depended on the land's yield.

Thinking about it just made her sigh. This life was really disheartening.

In this big lunar January, she was still eating corn grits porridge with pickles.

Really had enough of it. But if she didn't eat, she'd be hungry.

Ma Dongmei said that Su Yuanyuan had braised pork at her wedding, and they ate until they were stuffed.

Thinking of braised pork made the corn grits porridge in her mouth taste even worse.

But they didn't invite her. She has no need to impose herself.

She used to think about taking advantage, but after figuring things out, she no longer thought that way.

Getting the life she wants through her own efforts is the only reality; everything else is empty talk.

After the Lantern Festival, if in North China, the year would already be considered over. But not here. Whatever happens, it's still difficult.

"Yuanyuan, my marriage report will definitely be approved next year, and then you can come live with me."

"Going with you would just mean being alone somewhere else; I might as well stay here.

At least here, I have acquaintances. It's better than being outside without knowing anyone."

"I also have days off."

"How many days off do you have? Just save up your vacations, and when you have time off, we'll have several months together."

"But what if I miss you?"

"If you miss me, I'll come to find you. Rest assured, I'll definitely come over after the autumn this year."

"You said it."

"Of course, I don't lie."

"But Yuanyuan, promise me, if you can come with me, you definitely will, okay?"
