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

On the way home, Wang Xiuying said with shame, "Look at us, we invited them to dinner and did our best, thinking we were bringing out the best things, but compared to them, what we had was nothing at all. It's so embarrassing."

Commander Liu: "There's nothing shameful about it. It's not just our family; other families are the same."

"Yes! Luckily, the other families are in similar situations, otherwise we would be too embarrassed to show our faces today. We're both hosting dinners, but what are we hosting compared to what they're hosting? There's no comparison."

Wang Xiuying: "Now I understand why Commander Yuan was attracted to Su Jinru. Su Jinru is no simple woman."

"Not only is she good-looking, but her cooking is even better than that of state-run restaurants."

Regiment Commander Liu: "Who is Division Commander Yuan? How bad could the people he takes a liking to be?"

"If it were you, would you be interested in a woman who is married and has two children?"

Regiment Commander Liu frowned and scolded, "Aren't you being ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he strode forward.

Wang Xiuying jogged after him.

Commander Liu said, "Let me tell you, from now on, just focus on teaching your lessons and stop trying to pull any tricks. I'd like to see if you'll still have the nerve to invite others to dinner in the future. Your cooking is worse than theirs, and after you've eaten, you even take their vegetables and seeds."

"I'm doing this all for our family."

"I told you before, Commander Yuan doesn't like these superficial things. As long as we do our job well, that's better than anything else."

Company Commander Niu and his wife Li Guixiang returned home.

Li Guixiang: "Let's not try to treat others to meals anymore. Look at the food they treat us to—we can't get it or make it. And look at what we offer them in return—how can we be so shameless?"

"I'm really embarrassed, we won't join in that kind of fun anymore."

Li Guixiang: "People really can't be compared. I can't cook as well as Su Jinru, and I can't educate my children as well. Our Guodong is the same age as Teacher Anxin, but one is a student and the other is a teacher. The difference is huge. Sometimes, you can't help but accept your fate."

"There's no need to compare with others. Our Guodong is not academically inclined, and he won't rely on education for a living. Just let him know a few words. His ultimate path will be to join the army."

"However, Teacher An Xin teaches very well. Guo Dong didn't like studying before, but this time he's studying quite diligently."

"Yes! If this child had this much enthusiasm for learning before, he wouldn't still be in first grade; he should be in second grade by now."

"This kid is quite mischievous, but now he's completely under Teacher An Xin's control. He's happy to be her class monitor and is willing to help her with everything, from disciplining those naughty classmates to cleaning. He's very diligent."

"For example, when we go to the teacher's house for dinner, he will also help clean up."

……

Anxin and Anran took Heizi for a walk on the beach.

Su Jinru called Yuan Wenjie into the room.

She took out a large sum of money from her storage space.

"Wenjie, I know that developing and building Qiongzhou Island requires money, but your funds are limited. You urgently need money right now, so please take this money!"

"I told you before, I'll find a way to solve this myself, I don't need your money."

"I'm lending you this money. You can pay me back if you make a profit in the future."

What if I lose money?

“Your parents are business people, so you have the potential to do business in your genes. You won’t lose money, I believe in you.”

"No, how can I use your money?"

"Why distinguish between you and me? You're not treating me like one of your own."

"What I mean is, you didn't earn this money easily, what if I spend it all and there's no profit..."

"Money is just an external thing. If I lose it all, I can earn it back later! I have this treasure, the spatial ability, so I'm not worried about money. Even if I don't have money, I have food, so we won't starve to death!"

"Moreover, you are doing these things not for your own money or personal gain, but for the army, for the country, and to turn Qiongzhou Island into a beautiful home. I myself will live here, and as the place becomes better, I will also be able to enjoy the benefits that come with it."

“I have more than two million yuan. With this money, I can’t buy or do anything. The money is just a pile of paper to me, but in your hands, you can do many meaningful things.”

"Aru, how do you have so much money?"

"Most of this money came into my pocket through your hands. Have you forgotten? All those years, the potatoes you bought from me, that money was all given to me by you."

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Wenjie finally said, "Alright! Consider this money a loan from you on behalf of the military."

"With this money, I can complete the development and construction plan of Qiongzhou Island two years ahead of schedule."

With money in hand, Yuan Wenjie began to implement her plans and construction projects on a large scale.

He bought two boats and fishing nets, and organized a group of people to go out fishing every day.

Once the fish caught have accumulated to a certain quantity, they are transported outside to be sold.

Over time, he set up a permanent fish stall on the mainland.

People from other places specifically come to that fish stall to buy wholesale fish.

In this way, a steady stream of income is generated.

The salt fields were completed quickly, and a month later, they began to generate revenue.

According to the plan, many roads were built on Qiongzhou Island.

To accommodate the needs of the rice paddies, a lake was also dug.

Because the island is humid and rainy, an artificial lake can be dug to collect rainwater for irrigating the fields.

The military barracks and living quarters have also been equipped with running water.

To make things easier for everyone, a hospital was built on the island, two doctors were hired, and a shop was also built, essentially a supply and marketing cooperative on the mainland, specializing in selling daily necessities.

"The sales clerks are Liu Lijuan, the wife of Regiment Commander Jiang, and Li Lanfang, the wife of Regiment Commander Zhao."

This makes everyone's life much more convenient.

Wang Xiuying and Li Guixiang took the vegetable seeds from Su Jinru and planted them in their own yard. The vegetables that grew didn't grow as well as the ones Su Jinru grew, but at least they had some green vegetables to eat.

They came to see Su Jinru's vegetables, which were lush, green, and plump, while their own vegetables were yellow and small. They found it incredible and came to Su Jinru for advice many times.

Su Jinru patiently taught them how to plant and how to use fertilizer. After their careful tending, the vegetables finally grew a bit bigger, but they could never catch up with the vegetables from Su Jinru's family.

What they didn't know was that the vegetables in Su Jinru's family grew better than theirs, even though the two children only watered and weeded them and didn't use any fertilizer. That was because Su Jinru watered them with spiritual water.
