Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

After staying in the space for two days, the food was packed into bags. The fruit trees transplanted in the space had all borne fruit. Su Qiuyue had previously planted two apricot trees and a plum tree.

In addition to keeping some for canning, she planned to steam the rest into dried fruits. She bought a broken large iron barrel from a scrap yard in the provincial capital, asked someone to help modify it, and bought an iron pot and a large steamer to put in the space.

Otherwise it would be inconvenient to do it outside, and she couldn't hide the smell. It would be much easier for her to do it in the space.

And no one can see it drying in the shade.

Then wrap them into packages with oil paper.

After leaving the space, she called Da Zhang, who said he would arrive in a day and asked her to wait for him.

Da Zhang and Su Qiuyue made an appointment to meet in front of a store in town. This time, Da Zhang actually drove a green jeep.

Su Qiuyue had never sat on one before, and the first time she sat on it, she found everything strange.

Da Zhang drove her directly to a reed field by the river.

"There's no one around here. If I didn't know you, I wouldn't dare to come here." Su Qiuyue looked around and said a little embarrassedly.

"We are not afraid of being heard when we talk here." Da Zhang didn't know what to say.

After a moment's silence, Da Zhang slowly spoke.

"I need the old bellows' help now."

Su Qiuyue roughly guessed that a lot of supplies, such as food or cotton, would be needed.

Seeing that Su Qiuyue had no special reaction and didn't say anything, Da Zhang could only continue speaking.

“You know my family background. Some of my family members are in the military, so I know some of their movements.

Let me tell you, it was because of the generous gift of old Feng Xia last time that my brother was helped a lot.

You know, in the past few years, we tightened our belts to pay off our debts. Natural disasters had already caused a shortage of food, and many people starved to death in order to pay off their debts.

So in recent years, let alone stockpiling food, it has been difficult for everyone to have enough food.

However, our relationship with them has been somewhat tense in the past two years. Although there hasn’t been much movement, there are always minor frictions.

So we have increased the number of troops on the border in the past two years. My brother is there. You know it is colder there than here, with longer winters and shorter summers.

They were stationed there for a long time, and in addition to the demand for cotton, their greater demand was for food and vegetables.

You know, in a low temperature environment for a long time, the consumption is very high, and the quota is not enough to eat. In addition, the winter is too long, except for the pickled cabbage and pickles that we have at home, there are no vegetables to eat.

In the long run, many of them will suffer from night blindness or snow blindness.

Not only for my brother, but also for those soldiers, I have to try my best to help." Da Zhang said this very sincerely. In this era, striving for a common goal and selfless dedication are the main themes, and such thoughts are very normal and common.

Su Qiuyue was lost in thought because of what Da Zhang said, so she didn't respond for a while.

Da Zhang waited for a while, and seeing that Su Qiuyue didn't react at all, he continued.

"Of course, I'm not that great. If this thing is done, not only will it help my brother and his family solve the big problem of food, it will also be good for me."

Su Qiuyue then turned around and looked at Da Zhang in surprise.

Just now she was still admiring Da Zhang, a man with great love in his heart. Then he said this.

It turned out that she had misunderstood. Da Zhang was still the smart Da Zhang.

"Then you need me...what should I do with Old Feng Xia?" Su Qiuyue saw that Da Zhang was waiting for her answer, so she asked him.

She wanted to tell him that the old bellows might not be there now. It was better not to tell her, so that she could just pretend that the old bellows was still alive.

"I want a shipment of food and some vegetables for the winter. It would be even better if I had some medicine."

Su Qiuyue looked at Da Zhang, and everything that had just happened disappeared like a fart.

"If there is no medicine, we can have Chinese medicine. But we need seeds. The quantity of what you want is not small. It would be a miracle if I could make it for you out of thin air."

Su Qiuyue refused directly.

"I know, I know, I'm not that greedy. I didn't make it clear just now." Looking at her attitude, Dazhan knew that he was too anxious just now.

"Of course I will be the one to provide the seeds. I am just a little anxious and I don't know if the time can be shortened.

I also want food and vegetables, and if possible, some herbs. I don't know if he can give them all at once.

And what will I get in return? It is my duty to provide the seeds. This does not count. "Da Zhang quickly explained, not wanting Su Qiuyue to misunderstand.

"Then I have to ask."

In fact, she hadn't thought about it yet, and she didn't even need to give it up. After all, it was for the cutest person, and she felt honored to have contributed.

Space does not just bring her wealth, it is more meaningful. Once again, it feels like a little fairy casting a spell to bless the world.

But she couldn't, and didn't dare. She was still afraid of being discovered.

"Oh, Old Feng Xia said that he had told you that he would help Sunai and his tribe for the past two years. Now the time has come.

Also, if there is another deal in the future, there are still eight years left. Ten years is just between us."

Su Qiuyue remembered what Lao Fengxia had told her, and took the opportunity of this meeting to talk to him about it.

"Why? What did I do wrong? Or is there something wrong eight years later?" Da Zhang was quite happy at first, but the meaning behind his words was to forget it.

"It's because you're so particular that I have these next eight years." It's also for Su Qiuyue's convenience in the future. So Su Qiuyue was grateful to him, not only paving the way for her, but also thinking of how to clean up the mess later.

"He always says that fate is predetermined. Besides, maybe in the future he...he won't have the ability to do it?"

"What do you mean? Old Feng Xia..." Da Zhang thought about Old Feng Xia's age and stopped what he was about to say.

"Okay, I got it. You ask him about the situation, and I'll prepare the seeds and other things needed in advance.

As for the return, just tell me when you have made up your mind, and I will find a way to make it happen."

The two discussed some details, and then Da Zhang sent Su Qiuyue to the train station.

On the way back, Su Qiuyue was still thinking about what Da Zhang said. She didn't plan to ask for anything in return. She just regarded it as having this space to do good for the country.

She just regarded it as a good deed to accumulate blessings for herself and Old Fengxia.

But as for Da Zhang, she didn't know whether she would need him in the future, as she could tell at a glance that he had a background.

Anyway, the job has been done and the favor has been paid. In the future, it should be easier to ask for favors as long as they are not excessive.

When she got home, the preserved fruits that Su Qiuyue brought back to the space were welcomed by everyone. But she couldn't eat too much.

My aunt has a bad stomach, my brother and sister-in-law are still young and can't digest food when they eat too much. My cousin doesn't like to eat much, and my aunt is old and eats too much and her teeth fall out.

So as long as you control a few small ones, there will be no problem.

Su Qiuyue found some time to visit Old Man Zhao and gave him some things and preserved fruits. Old Man Zhao seemed to be no different from before, except that his eyes were always a little deep when he looked at her.

When she left, Old Man Zhao said he would see her off, so he got a horse-drawn sled and took her out of the brigade.

When they reached the intersection where they could take a bus, seeing the bus approaching from afar, Old Man Zhao was about to go back.

"Thank you for thinking of me, girl. I've finished my work for Sunai and the others, and I feel relieved. I can also explain what I promised to Old Feng Xia.

Girl, don't come over here. Just like the old man said, our fate ends here.

Seeing you always reminds me of the past. Live your life well in the future, there are many good days ahead."

After saying this, Old Man Zhao cracked his whip, drove the carriage away.

Su Qiuyue stood there in a daze, and only reacted and got in the car when the car stopped in front of her.

When she saw the bus, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She understood what Old Man Zhao meant. The matter with Old Feng Xia was completely over. Old Feng Xia was probably dead.

She had just thought of how to repay him. And Old Man Zhao, the old man who was all stories, was also coming to an end.

Afraid of being seen by others, Su Qiuyue pretended to sleep and lowered her head as much as possible. Fortunately, she was wearing more clothes.

When Su Qiuyue returned home, she was still unable to adjust. She told her sister that she might be cold and went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, she hid in her space, looked at the photos she had taken before, and cried again. She was just very regretful.

In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had met someone who knew she had a secret but had no ill intentions. His kindness to her was not out of utilitarianism. He explained the relationship to her clearly and used her luck to avoid disaster.

It was just something she could do, and the old man had thought of everything from beginning to end, helping her and protecting her.

Su Qiuyue cherished this simple kindness. But it was too short-lived. She didn't know if there would be a stranger who would be kind to her next time.

In fact, she understood the reason, as Old Feng Xia had told her many times. She just couldn't bear to let it go, and felt regretful and sad.

After crying enough, Su Qiuyue cheered up the next day. She had already made up her mind that she would work harder and cherish her life more in the future.

"Sister, have you prepared your wedding clothes and everything?" Su Qiuyue asked Xu Feng who came to visit.

"It's done, and you're still worrying about this for me." Xu Feng looked at Su Qiuyue speechlessly. A little girl who worried about everything just like her mother.

"This is a big deal for you. You can't expect everything." Su Qiuyue said with a smile.

"By the way, I haven't met my brother-in-law yet. Is he coming in the twelfth lunar month?"

"That's about right. I have to come before Laba Festival."

"You'll know once you see him. Your brother-in-law is still a spirited young man." Sun Yanqiu interrupted while she was reading a book on the kang.

"Really?" Su Qiuyue said happily. Xu Feng was also good-looking. If her partner was also good-looking, the child they would give birth to would definitely be good-looking.

"You'll know when the time comes. I'm just an ordinary person." Xu Feng said modestly. But his embarrassed expression still revealed his little thoughts.

Although it depends more on a person’s character, but if he is also good-looking, that would be icing on the cake.

"As the twelfth lunar month began, several educated youth in our brigade held a group wedding. Except for three couples who were educated youth, the rest were marrying people from our brigade," said Sun Yanqiu while eating preserved fruit.

"Ah? There are only a few people in our team, including those who are not married. Will it be enough?" Su Qiuyue asked.

"There are also educated youth from several neighboring brigades who have married here. Our brigade has had a bumper harvest of grain in the past two years and we have enough to eat. It's a place where life is good in the Red Star Commune and even in several nearby communes. The girls and boys in the brigade don't have trouble finding a partner." Xu Feng explained.

"Oh, I thought. Our team is doing well now." Su Qiuyue suddenly remembered the disaster that Su Nai mentioned.

"By the way, does it have freezing rain here in the autumn?" Su Qiuyue suddenly asked.

"How do you know?" Xu Feng asked puzzledly, and then she remembered that she had just returned from visiting the old hunter two days ago, and she must have heard it from them.

"It's raining. The team leader was scared to death. It doesn't rain heavily here, and the old master in our team is very capable. In the middle of the night, I felt something was wrong, so I went to find the team leader. The team leader got us all up and collected all the food that was drying in the sun.

Fortunately, the harvest was quick, and it came down at ten o'clock the next morning. It's quite mysterious now. "When Xu Feng thinks about what happened at that time, it's still quite thrilling.

"This is a disastrous climate. We have just finished the autumn harvest. Is there any other strange weather?" Su Qiuyue asked nervously.

"Ah, this is called disastrous weather. Indeed, if we were a step later, a lot of crops in the fields would be destroyed.

Our brigade had just paid off the grain debt owed to the commune in previous years, and we almost faced famine again.

But this year is quite strange, it rained heavily in the summer, and it snowed just as the winter began. The old man said that it will definitely snow heavily this year, and the team leader has notified every household.

But it snows every year here, so it's not a big deal. Besides, we still have the coal you brought back. My father has never been willing to burn it." Xu Feng didn't think it was a big deal, except that it was a little snowy and difficult to go out.

Su Qiuyue thought about it and said a few words about this and that before ending the topic. The next day, she found an opportunity to go to the commune and called Da Zhang to ask for some coal for the next few days.

Da Zhang knew about it, but he couldn't tell anyone about it. However, he must have made preparations long ago, and he was given so many things.

Su Qiuyue arranged to go to town and went home to wait for news.

It just so happened that Aunt Li had a job delivering babies and asked Su Qiuyue to help. Nowadays, Aunt Li doesn't ask Su Qiuyue to deliver babies normally. She only asks her for difficult births or malpositioned fetuses.

Su Qiuyue was originally going to visit Aunt Li in the twelfth lunar month, and this time she just happened to take the gifts she brought with her.

It was a good opportunity to take some photos with Aunt Li. Su Qiuyue hoped to leave some traces of the old bellows and the "noble person" who appeared in her life.

I don’t want to rely on vague memories in the future.

This time things were not so smooth. Not only was the fetus in an abnormal position, but after she and Aunt Li had a hard time reviving the trapped baby, the mother began to bleed heavily.

Su Qiuyue tried with silver needles but it still didn't work.

"Brother, it's no use. We have to rush to the hospital. This requires surgery." Su Qiuyue's hands were covered in blood and her heart was pounding.

"Surgery! That means you have to have surgery?! How can that be possible? How much will it cost?" The man in the family was paralyzed when he heard this, and the mother-in-law was also flustered, talking about this and that.

"Doctor Su, didn't you go to school? Didn't you learn it? How about you come?" The mother-in-law responded quickly.

"I haven't practiced surgery yet, and there's nothing to do now. My sister-in-law is bleeding heavily, so it's not just about surgery. She needs a blood transfusion." Su Qiuyue was also very anxious and should go to the hospital immediately.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The mother-in-law was immediately scared.

"Let's rush her to the hospital. It will be too late if we're late." Su Qiuyue was extremely anxious as she looked at the large pool of blood under the woman in labor.

But neither the woman's family nor Aunt Li said a word.

Su Qiuyue wanted to speak, but was stopped by Aunt Li. It was the first time that Su Qiuyue saw a particularly serious expression on Aunt Li's face.

"Qiuyue, how much does the surgery cost? Is that something they can afford? Even if they take him to the famine area, can they definitely save him?

The operation has to be done in town, and it will take two hours now. Can she make it until then? If not, will she die on the bed or on the way?" Su Qiuyue tried to refute several times but was suppressed by Aunt Li. At the end of the question, Su Qiuyue was no longer able to answer.
