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

37.Surprise

When Su Jinru returned to her doorstep from the county town, she looked around to make sure no one was there before taking out the things she had bought from her spatial storage and opening the door to go inside.

The two children cheered with joy when they saw their mother return with so many things.

Su Jinru shushed them and said with a smile, "Babies, keep your voices down. It's cruel to others when they're starving and we're laughing loudly on the sidelines."

Anran: "Mom, why is there no food left in the team's canteen? Everyone else has nothing to eat, but we still have food?"

"Because Mom is amazing! If you two study hard and become skilled, you'll never have to worry about not having enough food or money in the future."

Anxin: "Brother, didn't Mom tell you not to tell others that we have good food? If others don't have food, they will come and steal our food. If our food is stolen, we won't have anything to eat either."

Su Jinru pulled her delicate daughter over and kissed her cheek.

“Anxin is very smart; she always remembers what her mother says.”

Anran also came over, wanting her mother to kiss her.

"Mom, I remember every word you said. I just don't understand why you have so many delicious things to eat, so I'm asking you."

"Anran, Anxin, please don't ask this question again. Just make sure you have good food, and don't tell anyone, okay?"

The two children nodded obediently.

Su Jinru took a rag doll out of the sack.

An Xin saw it, her eyes lit up, and her facial expression became lively.

She involuntarily reached out her little hand.

"Mommy, I like this doll. Is it for me?"

"It's for you, baby."

Su Jinru then pulled out a small pistol.

Before Su Jinru could speak, An Ran snatched it away.

"Mom, did you buy this for me?"

Su Jinru patted her son's round head.

"Yes! I bought it especially for our family's sturdy man, Anran. Do you like it?"

"I like it, of course I like it. This is my absolute favorite thing, and I've wanted it for a long time."

"Mom, do I want to join the army when I grow up?"

"Do you like being a soldier?"

"Yes! I'm a boy, a real man, and a real man should join the army."

In my past life, my son went to university, studied at a teacher's college, and later became a teacher, a principal, and the director of the education bureau.

In Nanyang County, a small county town, he was considered to have achieved some success.

At least in Qi Zhengyang's view, this son is better than him, and he is very satisfied.

But is this the career my son truly wants?

Having been reborn, Su Jinru knows that a person's happiness is not the happiness in the eyes of others; true happiness is living the life you want.

In her past life, every step her son took was chosen for him by Qi Zhengyang. This time, she wanted her son to choose for himself.

He can go to university if he wants, join the army if he wants, or do other jobs or start his own business, whatever he pleases.

Su Jinru took out a red balloon from the sack. She blew the balloon up, tied the opening, and let the two children jump up and pop the balloon.

I was originally planning to take out the ball for them to play with, but I've already given them too many surprises today. I'll save the other surprises for later, so they can be surprised more often.

Then she took out her pencil and notebook.

"Mom bought enough pens, notebooks, and draft paper for you. You can study your textbooks, write, draw, and learn whatever you want. You can do whatever you want. From now on, Mom will give you absolute freedom, but of course, this freedom can only be at home."

Su Jinru plans to spend all her time at home with her two children starting tomorrow.

Su Jinru originally wanted to bring Ah Xuan to live at her home as well, so that the three children, who were about the same age, could study and play together.

But Ah Xuan is older now, and there are some things you can't just brush off in front of him.

For example, she doesn't go out to fetch water, but there's always water in the water tank at home, and she doesn't even need to go to the village pond to wash clothes. For example, she doesn't cook, but there's always food at home.

These situations might fool six-year-old Anran and four-year-old Anxin, but they wouldn't fool her eleven-year-old brother.

Now every household in the village has nothing to eat, and many people are so hungry that they feel dizzy and wish they could peel off the bark from the trees and eat it.

However, at Su Jinru's house, not only are they able to eat their fill of three meals a day, but the dishes are also quite plentiful, including chicken and fish.

Ah Xuan will definitely find it unbelievable. As long as he lives here, he will discover her secret sooner or later.

If word gets out, people will surely think she's some kind of monster and kidnap her.

This is also Su Jinru's biggest worry. She was capable of giving her parents, younger brother and sister a better life, but because she couldn't explain the source of the food she provided, she could only ensure that they didn't go hungry.

Not only that, she also didn't want them to visit her home too often, fearing they might discover something unusual.

So she made up some scary stories to frighten them and make them afraid to go out.

She built her house next to her parents' home for easy access, but now she doesn't want her family to visit her often.

So she could only frequently visit her parents' home, carrying a tattered cloth bag every day to deliver food to them.

Su Jinru took out her personal belongings, and put the rest back into her spatial storage, planning to take them out one by one in a few days.

Finally, she let the two children play by themselves, and then she went into the space and used the high-tech kitchen utensils inside to cook a meal.

Soon, Su Jinru had prepared dinner.

Rice, braised fish, stir-fried eggs with chives, and a spinach soup.

She had the children wash their hands before they came to the kitchen to eat.

Su Jinru used a set of blue and white porcelain bowls she had just bought that day to serve soup, plates to hold vegetables, and small bowls to eat.

The two children were delighted to see the exquisite bowls and plates.

Anxin: "Mom, this set of bowls is really pretty. I can eat more if I use these bowls."

Anran: "Mom, it's so good to have money. You can buy whatever you like."

Su Jinru smiled and said to her son, "Yes! My son is so brave to be able to speak his mind."

An Ran asked, puzzled: "Is it brave to be able to honestly express your thoughts?"

"Of course! Some people never dare to say what they like in their entire lives, especially money. In fact, everyone likes money, but some people just don't dare to say it."

An Ran: "Is it so hard to say it?"

"It's difficult for some people. They feel that loving money is vulgar and makes them seem very elegant, refined, and have higher ideals. They won't be blinded by such vulgar things as money."

"The more something is denied or concealed, the more it is often what one desires."
