Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

There was a cool breeze, a slight chill blew past, and Liu Caixia shivered slightly.

I looked at the sun in the sky and saw that it was getting farther and farther away, slowly disappearing in the mountain stream.

When Liu Caixia returned to her new home, the workers were already helping to clean up the construction waste in the house. There wasn't much work to do today and it was still early, so the workers who had no work to do helped to clean up. After all, they had to be paid for a full day's work.

Father Liu was also helping out, chatting with people from time to time, "Put these wood residues in the woodshed to dry, and then you can use them as firewood later."

"Brother Liu, we'll chop it up for you and put it over there. You can use it directly when the time comes."

"Just pile these dirt and debris outside the door, I'll take care of it later..."

"Okay, Brother Liu..."

Liu Caixia looked at the busy crowd, not knowing what she was thinking. She always felt that it was too unreal.

When Liu's father saw Liu Caixia coming back, he walked over and woke up his dazed daughter: "Caixia... Caixia, you should go back. It gets dark early in winter. You should go back quickly!"

Liu Caixia came back to her senses when her father called her. She thought she had traveled through time again. "Dad, I think our house is really well built. It feels like home."

"This is our home. You should go back to the city soon. I will send you vegetables tomorrow morning. I have made an agreement with Uncle Niu in the village. When the ox cart is not in use, I will rent his ox cart and send you fresh vegetables every morning. Anyway, I will buy whatever is available in the village. As for the mountain products, I have already told the village chief that I will start with Xiushui Village. After I am familiar with it, I will go to other villages around it."

"Dad, you don't have to do everything yourself. There are so many people in the family, and you are also the manager of a large enterprise. You have to know people and assign them to the right positions. If there is anything to do, assign them to do it. When Lin Weizhong and others arrive, you still have to make the division of labor clear. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Everyone has to do things. We can't support them all the time."

"I know. Why do I need you to teach me? I bring Xiaoqu with me now. Among Liu Hao and the other three, only Xiaoqu can go out to socialize. Liu Hao and Chu Long are both straightforward and not suitable for doing business and dealing with people."

"Hahaha, I was wrong... I was also concerned about your health. We've been traveling all the way and are really exhausted. I feel like I've aged several years."

"I don't know how your mother is doing now."

"Don't worry, my mother and the others will be back tomorrow. With Lin Weizhong here, they will be fine. Besides, the roads are much calmer now. It's not that chaotic."

"Tomorrow I will go to collect the vegetables and deliver them to you personally, and then I will wait for them at the city gate. By the way, I will come to see your two shops. One of them wants to do the Malatang business. I think it's a good idea. Xiaolu has a lot of Malatang seasoning packets. Don't worry about not having so many raw materials at this time. Use the seasoning packets first. After the beginning of next spring, we will grow our own crops and grow a limited amount of the seasonings we need. Then we can cook the base ingredients ourselves."

"I think so too. That's why I started with Malatang. If I opened a hotpot restaurant, the stock of base ingredients would not be enough. With Malatang, the stock of base ingredients can last for a long time."

"Will it open the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, let's prepare tomorrow. When the large group behind arrives, we will have enough manpower. No need to hire anyone else. But these two stores are our own, so we just need to pay them wages at the beginning. When there is other business later, we can hire other people and give them the business."

"We will discuss the rest later. Right now, there is nothing else to do. They probably don't have much capital either."

"I think so."

"Hurry up and go, be careful on the road. I'll let Auntie Tian go back to the county with you. She can help you with things now. It's not convenient for her, a woman, to be with us."

"Then you will have to cook for yourself."

"Don't worry, there's nothing we men can't do now. You can't starve us to death."

"I asked Xiaolu to leave some meat and food for you."

"It's okay. Xiaoqu still has some left. They were all bought along the way. There are also some wild vegetables and dried goods. Let's eat them first."

"Okay, then Auntie Tian and I will leave first."

Aunt Tian was called over by Liu Caixia and left with her people.

Lin Weizhong also contacted Wei Honglian and her sister in the county town.

Now on the way to Sanqing County.

"Dad, how long will it take us to get there? I see that everyone in the village is preparing for the New Year. The towns we pass by are all selling New Year goods, and there are also markets and lantern festivals to visit."

Lin Weizhong touched his son Lin Keyu's head. They had been here for half a year. Time had really passed quickly. His son would soon be thirteen years old. In this age where people mature early, marriage would be possible in a few years.

He suddenly remembered Liu Caixia's previous behavior, which was to report the ages of the children here as generally one year younger, and some were even more than a year younger.

Of course he knew what the purpose of doing this was, and he agreed with it.

He looked at his son beside him again. Although he had experienced so much, he was still very childish.

"We will be able to reach Shanqing County tomorrow morning, but we don't know how far our assigned village is from the county town, or in which direction of the county town it is. In any case, we will be there tomorrow."

"That's great... Seeing other people preparing for the Chinese New Year, I'm really envious."

Lin Weizhong knew that they had not celebrated the Chinese New Year for two years. They had no conditions to celebrate the New Year during the end of the world. They had been on the road running for their lives, and they had not had a peaceful life since coming here.

"Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to have a good New Year every year from now on."

"Let's hope so. I hope there won't be any more accidents. I've really been through too much..."

"Hahaha, yes, you have indeed experienced too much at your age..."

Liu Xianxue and Sun Yaqing, who were following behind, couldn't help laughing when they heard the previous conversation.

"Sister Liu, you're not much older than me. You're still laughing at me. Just wait and see. You'll know in the future. I heard that people at this age are very harsh on girls of your age who are not married yet."

Lin Keyu knew how to poke people's soft spots at such a young age. Liu Xianxue and the other person sighed heavily at the same time: "Yes, yes, we are so pitiful!"

Lin Weizhong comforted them, "It's okay. Your ages have been changed to two years younger. Now you are just a little older. We can say it was a famine year and the originally planned marriage didn't happen for various reasons. In fact, we all have some problems, so we don't have to care about what others say. We just need to live our lives together. Besides, there are also handsome single guys in our group. We can get along with each other and maybe we can handle it ourselves."

"Brother Lin, why are you saying these things in front of the child? He will laugh at us again!"

"Sister Sun, I won't laugh at you. I'm going to get married in the future."

"You want to get married at such a young age!"

"My mother said that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. People should do things according to their age. I miss my mother..."

Lin Keyu hasn't mentioned his mother for a long time. He mentioned it once before, but never again after being reminded by Lin Weizhong. Now he said it directly that he missed his mother.

Lin Weizhong touched his head and pushed him forward.

"Let's go quickly, find a place to rest before dark, and get to the county town early tomorrow."
