Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

By around two o'clock, Feng Baoshan drove over. He brought four people with him.

Su Yuanyuan was very grateful to Feng Baoshan, with more people, things would go much faster. This pest issue should really be addressed as soon as possible.

"Xiao Su, the pest problem around the farm headquarters isn't as severe as over here. So I've called in a few more people to help."

"Thank you, Director Feng, and the four of you as well."

These were ordinary rural men, and they all felt quite embarrassed to hear such thanks.

"Xiao Su, I brought them over today to get familiar with the place; the insecticide spraying will start tomorrow morning."

Finally, it was agreed to start promptly at four in the morning the next day. And Su Yuanyuan didn't need to prepare any meals.

"It's alright, I can still cook. You all are helping me so much, how can I not provide meals."

Feng Baoshan thought about it, and seeing that it's just one meal at noon, it wouldn't hurt to agree, so he nodded on behalf of the four.

Today, the Zhao Family and the Li Family have already started spraying insecticide. Zhao Yanli specially came over at noon, and knowing that people were found to help with spraying tomorrow, she felt relieved.

Early the next day, Li Hongxiang came over and delivered the medicine.

After explaining how much water to mix with the medicine for the four men, he returned to spray his own fields.

The four strong workers worked very quickly.

For lunch, Su Yuanyuan made steamed buns; though they were dark, they were made from flour.

She stir-fried tender winter melon and made chili oil, and directly fried poached eggs, two for each person. She didn't prepare anything else.

Even so, the four were very satisfied.

Su Yuanyuan saw they were hesitant to eat. "Don't leave anything behind, eat up. You all have been doing strenuous work, and given how carefully you've worked, it's only right that I make something tasty for you."

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and seeing them treated this way, they were even more conscientious while spraying the pesticide.

It took three days in total to finish spraying the insecticide in the fields. After that, they hurried home to spray in their own fields, as pest issues had been found in every household's cornfields.

Su Yuanyuan felt relieved now, and to ease her mind further, both Li Hongxiang and the Zhao sisters took a walk through the fields, finding that the insecticide was working well.

Meanwhile, Tan Shaoting returned from carrying out a task alone.

He had now completed three special-grade tasks.

Zhang Chunsheng truly admired Tan Shaoting. These tasks were classified as special-grade due to their real dangers, but when Tan Shaoting handled them, it seemed especially easy and they were all perfectly completed.

In truth, Tan Shaoting felt extremely exhausted; only he knew how challenging these three tasks were.

This time, he even brought back a living person. This person was so frightened by Tan Shaoting that he behaved very well, quietly and obediently.

"Xiao Tan, there's a call from the farm."

Tan Shaoting jumped up immediately, looking tensely at Zhang Chunsheng.

"It's good news; Xiao Su is pregnant."

Tan Shaoting frowned, taking about two minutes to react. Zhang Chunsheng didn't see joy but rather worry across Tan Shaoting's face.

"I have a few more tasks before I can take time off."

He was really worried. In their world, female cultivators were reluctant to become pregnant as it greatly harmed their bodies.

He hadn't considered this, and he'd read a lot of books now, knowing that ordinary women ideally have children after twenty.

Moreover, she was home alone. With her determined nature, she would definitely be very tired.

"Let's go talk to the leadership."

Zhang Chunsheng understood Tan Shaoting, leaving his wife at home alone, he obviously couldn't be at ease, especially now that she was pregnant.

He was also feeling envious; at just twenty, others were having a child. Meanwhile, he was still a bachelor.

Tan Shaoting turned and left immediately, feeling very anxious. Judging by the situation, if there were many tasks, he would choose those that were closer together. This way, he could take on several at once, avoiding the back-and-forth and saving time.

Zeng Zhenqing was looking over Tan Shaoting's report and appreciated his abilities even more.

Hearing the report, he allowed him to enter.

"Leader, how many more tasks do I need to complete to take leave?"

Tan Shaoting asked very bluntly, but if you're truly talented, they'll be much more lenient with you.

Zhang Chunsheng immediately added, "There's a call from the farm, Xiao Su is pregnant."

Zeng Zhenqing laughed, "That little girl is pregnant? You've struck gold with her." He had a particular fondness for Su Yuanyuan, who was bold and meticulous, but she rarely came around.

"You can take your leave now, go back. If there's a special task, we'll call you; rest assured, someone will notify you. Just stay home and take good care of the girl. You also have the status to bring her over to live here.

I've also signed your marriage report. You can take it back with you."

Tan Shaoting finally smiled.

"Thank you, leader."

He grabbed the report, folded it, and put it in his pocket, saluted, and turned to leave.

Leaving the leader's office, Tan Shaoting immediately ran off.

He was in a hurry, very anxious.

Zeng Zhenqing and Zhang Chunsheng heard the commotion outside and both laughed.

"Tan Shaoting really is a talent." He said, handing the report to Zhang Chunsheng.

Looking it over, Zhang Chunsheng marveled; it felt like no task was a problem for Tan Shaoting. "Leader, I'll go for the interrogation."

Tan Shaoting ran to the train station. The train back wouldn't leave for another five hours.

Even if he was anxious, there was nothing he could do, so he bought a train ticket and went to the market to buy things from here.

Having been with Su Yuanyuan for so many years, he certainly knew what she liked.

So he bought various fruits, dried fruits, a lot of rice, and fabric, and started packing everything up to take back.

In fact, that was just on the surface; he stored a lot in the ring.

Mostly sugar. Although this area wasn't known for sugar production, every household would make their own. It was much easier to buy here than back home.

Returning to the dorm, he hurriedly packed his belongings, leaving the remaining beef jerky on the table with a note for them to divide it up, before heading to the train station with his packed luggage.

He now preferred waiting at the train station rather than in the dormitory, feeling too anxious and wishing he could be by his wife's side immediately.

He was feeling a bit self-loathing. He felt that he hadn't done anything for her, often just creating trouble for her. He hadn't even considered this, only cared about his own happiness. Now his wife was pregnant, and she was the one suffering.

Tan Shaoting sat in the waiting hall filled with low morale. People stayed away from him. Primarily because he seemed intimidating.

Tan Shaoting was still caught up in his self-loathing, wishing he could endure the hardship instead of his wife.
