Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

“Not much, 2,300.” Ji Jianyun said.

When Mother Ji heard those words, it was as she had expected. She breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him, “After finishing the things for this year, it's time to save some money. Renren and Qiqi will go to school soon.”

“Don't worry, mother, I know.” Ji Jianyun nodded.

“If you know, then I wouldn't come here to tell you. Danhong won’t tell you, so don't go too far.” Mother Ji whispered.

“I know my own wife.” Ji Jianyun said.

Mother Ji left him alone, and went back by herself. She said to her husband when she got to the mountain: “Jianyun said it was 2,300, which is not too much.”

Father Ji just raised his brow, and didn't say much. The reservoir was so well built. If there were no major accidents, it could last two generations. For 2,300 though? That's probably only half the cost!

When it came to understanding men, Father Ji knew more than Mother Ji.

The money Ji Jianyun spent on building the reservoir this time was much more than what he paid for contracting the reservoir. It cost him nearly 5,000 yuan in total.

All the money earned this year was basically spent on this, but Ji Jianyun felt that it was not unfair at all.

Because he supervised the whole process, none of the workers, including Ji Jianhe, slacked off, and all the work was done by them.

When it rained heavily this year, he just didn't show his worry. Truthfully, he was a little worried that there would be accidents on the reservoir. For now, as long as there was not any rain that was so unbelievably heavy, there wouldn’t be any accidents, and he can really sit back and relax.

After he fenced it, the whole area was Ji Jianyun's territory.

He planted fruit trees on the two areas around the reservoir, and used a lot of grass seeds. In the spring of next year, he was going to raise some goats.

It was a good place to raise ducks, but he would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. He could only prepare for it first, and it was starting to frost.

“Wife, what did you cook that smells so good?” Ji Jianyun asked after returning to the house.

“Pig feet," Su Danhong said.

“That's good, leave me two.” Ji Jianyun said.

“Okay.” Su Danhong gave him a smile. She quickly finished the pig feet, the smell was very nice, and said: “Give it to your parents first.”

“It's still early.” Ji Jianyun said, looking at the time, it's only half past four.

“Mother has been tired these days. I cooked all the dishes, so just serve it and ask them to eat early today," Su Danhong said.

The work started in October, and it was now November. For more than a month, Mother Ji led Wang Honghua and the others to be busy from morning to noon, and at noon they had to make dried persimmon with Aunt Cai. Even Father Ji helped out.

Su Danhong was responsible for taking care of Yan'er, Renren and Qiqi. She had no involvement in the work, but she could also see that her mother-in-law worked hard.

It was precisely because of this that she tried to drive Ji Yunyun away. How good was her mother-in-law when Ji Yunyun wasn’t around as a troublemaker?

Su Danhong quickly cooked up two other dishes: pumpkin with minced garlic and a bighead carp. There was also a seaweed egg drop soup. The bighead carp was caught from the reservoir. The fish in the reservoir started to be fished. Uncle Xu and Su Anbang ate it every day. They would catch some and bring it over to the college town to sell.

She made Ji Jianyun serve it in a big food container. Her man was very strong, and so she ordered him to do it.

Ji Jianyun smiled, and delivered the meal.

Mother Ji was about to cook when she saw him, and she said: “Have you cooked yet?”

“My wife said that mother has been tired these days, so she asked you to rest. She made dinner tonight," Ji Jianyun said, and began to arrange the dishes.

“She cooks whatever she wants, it's so rich.” Mother Ji laughed when she saw this dish.

“My wife is filial," Ji Jianyun said with a smile, and said to Father Ji, “Father, have a drink with uncle. I'll go and call uncle over.”

“Okay.” Father Ji nodded.

Ji Jianyun called Uncle Ji over and told them to eat first, and Ji Jianyun went home.

Su Danhong had already prepared the food, so the family of four also started to eat. Renren could already eat by himself. Although Qiqi still had to be fed, he was more intense than anyone else when eating congee. He would eat one bowl after another. He wandered off, was carried back by his father, and sat in his lap and continued to stay there.

“When I went to visit Li Zhi, he said that Yunyun was pregnant," Ji Jianyun said while eating.

“Pregnant?” Su Danhong asked. “She is hiding it tightly.”

Her mother-in-law didn't tell her about it, which means her mother-in-law didn't know about it yet, Su Danhong also guessed that Ji Yunyun was still angry.

But if she was pregnant, she was pregnant. It wasn’t like no one’s ever been pregnant. Su Danhong had given birth to two sons.

Li Zhi told Ji Jianyun, so Ji Jianyun should spread the word. However, he had been too busy these days, and he obviously just remembered it.

“Then when mother comes down tomorrow, I'll talk to her," Su Danhong said.

“The last time I went there, she was acting strange. If mother wants to see her, let her go. You don't have to go there," Ji Jianyun said.

His wife didn’t need to give her respect.

“I know.” Although Ji Yunyun didn’t bully her, Su Danhong felt good seeing her man protecting her.

The next day, when Mother Ji came down, Su Danhong told her: “Brother-in-law told Jianyun a month ago, but Jianyun was too busy and he forgot. He just remembered to tell me about it last night.”

“Pregnant? That's okay, don't worry about her, we've all been there.” To her surprise, her mother-in-law had an attitude like this?

Su Danhong looked at her expression and asked, “Mother, do you want to take a basket of eggs over?”

“I’ll sell the eggs to save money for my grandchildren to go to college. What can I do for that white-eyed wolf?” Mother Ji said.

It was undeniable that she was angry, really angry.

How long had her daughter been pregnant? It was revealed a month ago, so how many months along was she?

And her daughter was in the county town, but she didn't even come back to visit!

Of course, Mother Ji never meant to blame her third son. It's not like she didn’t know how busy Jianyun was these days, but he still cared for her when he had the time.

But Mother Ji was really angry this time.

If her daughter was busy and had a job, then that's fine. However, she stayed at home, and Li Zhi was supporting her. She could do anything she wanted all day long, but she didn't even come home.

Who was she trying to show off to?

Who had the time to see her?

Thus, Mother Ji didn't even give her a basket of eggs. She could do whatever she liked!
