Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

Chapter 226 Hometown (2)

"Er Ya, what grade are you in?"

"I'm in fifth grade."

“Study hard. If your parents don’t want you to go to school, just write to me and I will support you.”

Daya: "My parents didn't want me and Erya to go back to school, but after receiving your letter, Auntie, they didn't dare disobey."

Yes! Su Jinru wrote letters and sent money, insisting that they make sure Daya and Erya go to school. She knew her second sister's personality; she was somewhat soft-hearted and lacked assertiveness. Given Su Jinru's strong insistence, she would naturally comply.

Dinner was ready, and Yuan Wenjie was pulled away to drink with them.

An Xin and Su Jinru are taking care of their twins at home.

The two children had just learned to walk and were very curious. At this stage, they especially liked to wobble around and look at everything.

Su Jinru's yard was spacious, so she let the two children walk around in it.

An Xin said, "Mom, when I was little, I felt that our yard was quite big, but now it looks so small."

Su Jinru smiled and said, "The courtyard is still the same courtyard. It's just that you were young before and had never seen a bigger world than this courtyard, so you thought this courtyard was very big. Now that you have seen a bigger world, you will naturally feel that this courtyard has become smaller."

“When I was a child, I thought our village was quite big, but now it seems like it’s just a small village.”

As the mother and daughter were talking, a head peeked in through the open courtyard gate.

"Aru, you're really back?"

"Sister-in-law Dingxiang, it's you! Come in and sit down."

“I heard a military vehicle came to our village. I guessed it must be from your Su family, either your brother or sister or you. I thought it would be great if you came back this year so I could come and see. And sure enough, it really is you.”

"My younger sister is back, but my brother isn't."

"Is this An Xin? She's grown into a beautiful young woman."

"I heard from your mom that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, right? They're so beautiful, so rare! What are their names?"

"Born in the morning, the son is named Ruochen, and the daughter is named Ruoxi."

"Great, the birth time is auspicious, and the name is also auspicious."

"Sister-in-law, how is your family?"

"Okay, everything is fine. All three children have grown up and gone to work in the county town. Only I am still staying in the village."

"Oh! What company do you work for?"

"The eldest son went to join the army and just returned this year. He went to work in a steel factory. The second son went to work in a food factory, and the youngest daughter became a saleswoman in a department store."

"Time flies, your eldest son has already returned from the army."

"Yes! We're all getting old, almost forty years old, but Aru, you haven't changed at all, and you're even more beautiful than before."

"Sister-in-law, your whole family lives in the county town. Why don't you go there and enjoy your retirement? What are you doing here?"

“I can’t read, so what would I do? Besides, I’m full of energy, I can’t stay idle, and I’m not that old. I’ve spent my whole life working the land.”

"Does Brother Jin Gui come back often?"

"That's right, he comes back twice a week now."

"When we came back this time, we found that the road was repaired better than before. Did Brother Jingui have it repaired?"

"Yes! The road in front of his own house should naturally be repaired. You guys felt it was much easier to travel on this time than before, right?"

"Yes! The road from the county town to the village has been repaired and is now wide and smooth, much easier to travel on than before. I knew it must have been repaired by Brother Jingui."

“Jingui was talking to me a few days ago! He said that you haven’t been back for three years and he wondered if you would come back for the New Year. Sure enough, you did come back. He must be very happy to know.”

"It's been a long time. I'll invite my sister-in-law and Brother Jingui over for dinner another day."

"How can I let you treat me? I should be the one treating you. You've come all this way, you're the guests! It's just that my cooking isn't as good as yours, please don't mind."

"Sister-in-law! We're family, it doesn't matter who invites us! Why distinguish between yours and mine? No matter who invites us, the point is to have a meal together and chat!"

"It's settled, sister-in-law. When is Brother Jingui coming back? You can discuss it with him and let me know in advance when he's free so I can make preparations."

"What are you preparing? No one has lived in this house for years. Buying all that firewood, rice, oil, and salt is too much trouble."

"No trouble at all. We can drive to the county town and buy whatever we want there."

Su Jinru insisted on inviting Dingxiang and Jin Gui to dinner because she wanted to ask them for a favor: she wanted to find a job for Daya.

In that era, management wasn't as strict as it is in later generations, and there weren't as many rigid requirements. To get a job, as long as you had a junior high school education, knew enough people, and had the power, it was easy to get one.

Su Jinru had helped Jin Gui a lot in her life, and Jin Gui had also helped her. Su Jinru wanted to use their relationship to shamelessly try to get a job for Daya.

In her past life, Su Jinru introduced Daya to An Rong, but Daya was eventually abandoned by An Rong, leading to Daya's tragic death.

In this lifetime, she no longer wanted to interfere in Daya's marriage, but she wanted to give her a job that would allow her to make a living.

A woman who has a stable job will never have a bad life. Even if she encounters an unsuitable man, she will have the courage and confidence to leave.

Moreover, in this day and age, as long as you have a job, you have the means to choose a good son-in-law.

Dingxiang chatted for quite a while before leaving.

Before leaving, Su Jinru took out a lot of dried seafood from the room and gave it to Dingxiang.

Dingxiang said, "Oh! You've come all this way back, with two little kids in tow. It's not easy for you to bring back all this food, so please leave it for your parents!"

Su Jinru stuffed the things into Dingxiang's hand.

"I have more here. We brought quite a lot, so don't worry, these are all specially brought for you."

“Ah Ru! It’s such a long way. You won’t have to go through so much trouble to come back in the future. We’re so happy to see you all back.”

“These things are not common here, but they are plentiful over there. It would be a waste not to pick them up, so I picked up a lot, thinking that when I come back, I can bring some back for everyone to try.”

"Alright! In this life, our family has eaten plenty of your food, especially during famines. If you hadn't given us food a few times, we probably would have starved to death."

"Sister-in-law, it's been so many years, why do you still remember it!"

"This is a life-saving grace, how could I forget it? I will never forget it until I die."

“You and Brother Jingui helped me a lot. Back then, I was a divorced woman with a child. Without your help, I wouldn’t even have a place to live. This house was built because of you.”

"People should help each other so that their path can become wider and wider."
