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

Over the next few days, Yuan Wenjie was busy from dawn till dusk, attending meetings, training, and patrolling at sea. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to come back for meals, so he just grabbed a quick bite in the canteen.

Su Jinru and her two children cultivated a vegetable garden in their yard, where they continued to grow vegetables.

The two children learned to grow vegetables to earn money when they were in Nanyang County, so now that they are on this island, growing vegetables is a piece of cake for them.

What Su Jinru had to do was secretly water the vegetables they planted with some spiritual water so that they would grow faster and better.

At the same time, she was observing how vegetables were grown in the soil here.

a week later.

That afternoon, Yuan Wenjie returned from the army in high spirits.

As soon as I entered, I saw Anxin tending to her vegetable garden.

He pointed in surprise at the vegetables that had already sprouted tiny green shoots and asked, "When were these planted? How did they grow so quickly?"

Anxin: "Dad, you come and go in a hurry every day and haven't looked closely. These are seeds we planted on the second day we arrived here, and they started sprouting yesterday. You didn't notice."

"Did you and your brother plant this? That's amazing."

"Yes! When my brother and I were in Nanyang County, we earned more than a hundred yuan by growing vegetables!"

Su Jinru came out of the kitchen.

"Why are you back so early today?"

"I have good news for you. We can start cultivating the land tomorrow. The approval has been granted from above, and they strongly support our land reclamation and farming. We've also bought the tools we need for land reclamation."

"You guys are really efficient!"

"This is efficient? I think it's too slow!"

"The main problem is the inconvenient transportation. It takes a day and a night to go out, and two or three days to go back and forth."

"I'm hungry, has dinner been made?"

"Alright, alright, wash your face first."

As Su Jinru spoke, she went to pour some hot water for Yuan Wenjie.

An Xin went into the inner room to call her brother for dinner.

While washing his face, Yuan Wenjie leaned close to Su Jinru's ear.

"I used to wash my face with cold water all year round, but now that I have a wife, it's different. I can wash with hot water anytime. It's so good to have a wife. She's warm and caring."

Su Jinru knew that he had finally relaxed, was in a better mood, and started teasing her.

The family of four sat down to eat.

Su Jinru first served Yuan Wenjie a small bowl of chicken soup, and Yuan Wenjie took a big gulp.

"Home-cooked meals are the best! My wife's cooking skills are unmatched."

Su Jinru said with a smile, "This chicken was stewed by An Xin."

"My daughter has also learned her mother's cooking skills. The taste is exactly the same. Anxin has really mastered her mother's essence. She is a promising child."

Su Jinru said with a smile, "Eat up! Stop being so talkative."

An Xin: "Dad, you seem to be in a good mood today. Would you like me to pour you a glass of wine to liven things up?"

"I won't drink any more alcohol, I have things to do tonight. But I have two pieces of good news to tell you today."

An Xin: "You just told Mom that you'll start clearing the wasteland tomorrow."

"I've already told Mom about this. There are two other pieces of good news as well."

"What good news, Dad? Tell me quickly."

“Many military dependents have come here, and their children need to go to school. The children of soldiers cannot be illiterate, so we need to set up a school here. I’ve been thinking about it, and An Ran is a high school student and An Xin is a junior high school student. Teaching elementary school children shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Su Jinru: "You mean, you want An Xin and An Ran to be teachers?"

"Yes! There is a salary; the higher-ups pay the allowance."

"Won't others have something to say about this? They might say you're showing favoritism."

"What you're saying shows a lack of trust in An Xin and An Ran. Ask them if they're capable of doing this job."

An Ran: "Teaching elementary school shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Su Jinru: "I know they have the ability, but I'm afraid of putting you in a difficult position, and I'm afraid people will say that you are using this opportunity to benefit your family."

"Don't worry, I have a general understanding of the situation of these military dependents. Very few of them can read; at most, they have only graduated from primary school, and there are almost no junior high or high school students."

“Some of the soldiers are junior high school students, but they have other important things to do. After looking around, only An Xin and An Ran are the most suitable. There is also a family member of a regimental commander, who is also a junior high school student. So there are just the three of you. There are probably three classes in grades one, two, and three, a total of seventy or eighty students!”

An Xin and An Ran looked at each other and smiled.

Since arriving here, they feel as if they have been cut off from the world. They long for school life and want to continue their studies, but there is no longer any opportunity for them to continue their education here.

If you can't go to school, you still need to do something!

Yesterday, the two children were discussing this matter! Unexpectedly, today, their father brought them such good news.

Yuan Wenjie continued, "Anran, you're not old enough to join the army. If you want to, you can join next year or the year after. Until then, you can teach here, okay?"

Anran nodded.

"Okay, Dad, thank you for being so thoughtful."

Yuan Wenjie: "I know your mother has always encouraged you to study at home, which is a good thing. But no matter how much knowledge you learn, it is for the benefit of others. Otherwise, it is of no value. Letting you teach is a way to put your knowledge to practical use."

Su Jinru gave a thumbs up.

“Dad is right, this arrangement is good. Next year, Anran will join the army. Before you join the army, finish all your high school courses on your own. When you get to the army, you will naturally have the opportunity to shine.”

Yuan Wenjie: "Mom is right. Don't give up on learning. People with knowledge and culture are rare in the military, and the military will give them special training."

Anran: "Dad, you said there were two pieces of good news, what's the other piece of good news?"

"Another piece of good news is that we are going to build a salt field here, using local resources to extract salt from the seawater. We can not only eat it ourselves, but also sell it to others."

"I specifically requested a technician in this field, and someone has been sent over. The technician will arrive tomorrow."

Su Jinru was very happy for Yuan Wenjie. He had only been in office for a week, but he had already done so much and considered the future plans for the island so thoroughly.

Especially in the salt fields, the ferry that delivered supplies every month would return empty. If there was salt to sell, the ferry would take it with it on its way back.

"Wenjie, you have a good business sense; you even thought of setting up a salt field."

"I have a knack for business, you didn't just realize that now, did you!"

"Yes, those potatoes you transported before, you sent them to disaster areas and the military, where did you get the capital to do that?"
