Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

The days passed like this, and the children were already one hundred days old. Su Yuanyuan still took out her phone and camera, and the couple took photos of the children and the whole family. Anyway, they were having a lot of fun.

The three-month-old children could already roll over on their own. Su Yuanyuan dressed them in the onesies she had prepared earlier, which were soft and accommodating. As a result, the movements of the three children seemed much more agile.

Soon the first month of the lunar year would be over, and the time to leave was getting closer and closer.

Now all the procedures were completed. The house and land were now Zhao Yanli's, and the one hundred acres belonged to Zhao Xiaojing and Xu Hongbing. They were just waiting for Su Yuanyuan's family to leave.

Su Yuanyuan was planning to take the ewe, and she left the little donkey to Zhao Yanli; she sold hers to Zhao Xiaojing.

"When are we leaving?" Su Yuanyuan asked Tan Shaoting during dinner one day.

"Let's wait a bit longer. The snow will take more than a month to melt, won't it?"

"Hmm, why don't we leave now, pack the children, and let them out once we're on the train?"

Since they had decided to leave, having stayed here for several months, it was time to go.

"You decide, I'll follow your lead." Tan Shaoting actually didn't want to leave. After all, such a life made him indulge in it.

"Let's inform everyone we know tomorrow and treat Xiao Li to a meal. We'll leave in the evening."

"It's hard to drive outside too."

Su Yuanyuan laughed; this guy just didn't want to leave.

"If you don't want to go, let's wait for a while before leaving."

"Yuanyuan, I was thinking of leaving in April. We could arrive in May. By then, I have to take on tasks, take more of them. We could still spend the New Year together as a family."

"But when we get there, we still have to tidy up the house, right? I don't want to live in a dormitory; I want to find a place of our own."

"Yuanyuan, that makes me uneasy."

"What's there to be uneasy about? I should be even safer than you."

"Then tomorrow I'll go to the city and call Zhang Chunsheng. Let him buy us a house first."

Su Yuanyuan nodded. "That works too, once everything is in order, we can move in directly."

"Yeah, we have more than two months. We can arrange everything by then."

He really didn't want his wife to be outside, but he also knew Yuanyuan didn't like crowded places. The fact that she was now willing to move with him was already a great concession, accommodating him. He had to be understanding of her too.

Early the next morning, Tan Shaoting went to the city. Su Yuanyuan wasn't worried about him at all, it was just the city, after all, there was nothing to worry about.

Tan Shaoting arrived at the armed forces department and dialed Zhang Chunsheng's number.

At this side, everything was a mess. Receiving a call from Tan Shaoting, "When will you come back?"

"Probably by the end of May."

"Xiao Tan, could you come back earlier?" This task had already cost several lives. It was heartbreaking, of course, since they were all together.

"I don't want to come back so early."

"But Da Ke and the others, three of them have already sacrificed themselves." Zhang Chunsheng didn't want to say this initially. The leadership also thought that Xiao Tan should come back whenever he wanted. But this task must be completed, and seeing friends sacrifice made it impossible not to.

"Da Ke?"

"Yes."

Tan Shaoting was silent. "Okay, I'll come back. I'll borrow a car from the armed forces department, drive back to pick up Yuanyuan and the kids, and we'll return.

But you make sure to buy us a house promptly, get it ready, so they have a place to live when we get back."

"Not staying in a dormitory?"

"Yuanyuan doesn't want to; the kids are still too small. It's also quite nice outside."

"Alright. No problem, I'll arrange it. Everything will be ready when you guys return."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Shaoting found the person in charge there.

This side readily agreed, so Tan Shaoting drove the truck back.

On the way, he thought about it. He wanted to stay a bit longer.

He knew the task must be dangerous and avoided telling Yuanyuan the truth, fearing she would worry.

Although the snow was thick, since few vehicles or people passed through, it wasn't too hard to drive.

He parked the truck directly at the doorstep, then drove it inside.

Inside the house, Su Yuanyuan heard the commotion and wondered why Tan Shaoting drove back. Was it because it was time to leave?

When he came in, she noticed he seemed a bit unhappy.

"What's up? Time to leave?"

"Yeah, let's go. I wanted to stay a bit longer, but it's not possible."

"What happened?"

"The task is quite a lot. Yuanyuan, I'll go inform everyone, we won't treat them to a meal anymore."

"Alright, you go ahead."

There was definitely something up. Although Tan Shaoting didn't say, Su Yuanyuan roughly guessed—it must be something dangerous.

She truly didn't understand. With a comfortable lifestyle, why choose to be so tiring? Isn't a content, quiet life good enough?

But she also realized it was because she was too mature for her age and wasn't as obsessed with things anymore, which made her this way. Actually, it wasn't good for her being like this.

After warming himself up downstairs for a while, Tan Shaoting finally climbed onto the kang bed. Sitting beside the three children, his face broke into a much more relaxed smile.

There wasn't much for them to pack. The ewe had to be loaded onto the truck, and the kids were carried on as well; their necessities were packed and ready to be loaded directly.

Anyway, everything was prepared. They could leave at any moment.

They just needed to have a good talk with Xiao Li. The girl was certainly feeling down, looking very listless, but this was a necessary process to go through.

Even the closest couples have moments of separation. The children will grow up and leave you too.

Not much grain was left; they left it there. This way, Xiao Li could move in directly. One iron stove had to be given to the Li Family.

Su Yuanyuan packed their things, noticing how Tan Shaoting stared at the kids, lost in thought. Was it really this serious?

According to what he said, he should be past hundreds of years old. Shouldn't he be beyond this by now?

Actually, Tan Shaoting was pondering whether to leave that place.

But he wasn't willing to just live a mundane life. He wanted to provide a good life for his wife and children.

Su Yuanyuan saw that there was nothing much left to pack.

"You stay home with the kids for a while, I'll go check on Xiao Li."

"Yuanyuan, let me go instead."

"No need, I'll chat with Xiao Li." This separation, who knows when they'll meet again?

Zhao Yanli was making shoes for Su Yuanyuan's three kids. She got the pattern from her sister-in-law. And they were almost done. The red velvet fabric was given by her second sister-in-law.

They really looked cute, and the tiger eyes embroidered on them were especially nice.
