Chapter 166 The Mysterious Grain Merchant



Ever since Tang Xinyi became pregnant, the Jiang family has not allowed her to go out to work.

She also quit her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, and Jiang Yanzhi promised to find her a similar job after she gave birth.

After all, Tang Xinyi has work experience. Even if she is delayed for a year or two, there will be plenty of factories that want her when she looks for a job again.

Director Li was still reluctant to let her go. At first, he thought that Tang Xinyi's resignation was caused by the higher-ups investigating her work and personal issues. Even though he later found out that it was not the case, he still went to the leader's office and made a big fuss.

Director Li took great pains to keep Tang Xinyi in the supply and marketing cooperative because Huang Cuilin's disturbance made the Jiang family worried about her continuing to work.

Although people also said that it is because you need to take care of the fetus during pregnancy.

But you don’t have to quit your job just because you’re pregnant!

He could have just assigned him a job that required only some brainpower and office work.

But it's too late to say anything now. Jiang Yanzhi just quit his wife's job.

He wanted to follow the example of the ancients and visit the thatched cottage three times, but the other party didn't even let him in.

The Jiang family was quite polite and welcoming, but they just didn't want him to see Tang Xinyi. He had a thousand things to say and a hundred reasons to give, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to.

Although Jiang Yanli still worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, she had no say in her sister-in-law's affairs. Even if she allowed the news to spread, she didn't know if it would reach Tang Xinyi's ears...

No matter how worried Director Li was, Tang Xinyi had some good news.

That is like a door that has never been opened, suddenly it can be opened.

Although only one door was opened, and only halfway, she was able to squeeze through easily because of her petite figure.

There is a very large open space outside.

There is nothing there except a few fruit trees.

Tang Xinyi's range of activities extended from the courtyard to the riverside.

However, she could only move on this side of the stream. When she reached the center of the river, there was an invisible barrier blocking her and she could not get through at all.

The entire area has also expanded from about one or two acres to fifteen or sixteen acres today.

Such a large space is enough for her.

However, she has to dig holes and sow seeds herself to grow crops, which is quite hard work.

Tang Xinyi originally chose to go out to work in order to escape working in the fields.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, I still couldn't escape the fate of farming.

But since there was such a large piece of land, she couldn't just leave it alone, so she had to pick up the hoe and dig the hole one hoe at a time.

Because she couldn't work too hard during pregnancy, Tang Xinyi worked rather roughly.

Just dig a hole, throw a seed in it and leave it alone.

I thought the crops wouldn't grow very well, but unexpectedly all the seeds I planted grew into crops, and they grew very well and at a super fast rate.

It took less than a week from the time the seeds were dropped to the time they grew to maturity.

Tang Xinyi stood in front of a rice field. The rice was almost ripe, but how should she harvest it?

How do you thresh the harvest?

Tang Xinyi was standing at the edge of the rice field, looking worried and without a smile on her face.

But when she came back the next day, she found that all the rice in the rice fields had disappeared, but there was a pile of rice and rice bran in the warehouse in her space.

"Is it so magical?"

"Could it be that the space knows that I can't overwork myself because I'm pregnant, so it's doing all the work for me?"

“Thank you, God of Space!”

The space has the ability to automatically harvest, and coupled with her doubling system, Tang Xinyi will probably not be able to finish eating all the food she grows in several years.

But thinking that everyone outside was still starving, she still continued to grow crops without any complaints.

There is no need to dig a hole to grow rice. Just throw the rice on the ground and it will take root and grow on its own.

The same is true for wheat.

Because there are no natural disasters in space, neither strong winds nor heavy rains, there is no need to worry that the shallow roots of the crops will be blown down by the wind.

The best crops to grow are also the easiest to harvest, and Tang Xinyi's mood also improved.

When the Jiang family noticed that Tang Xinyi was in a good mood, they prepared various foods for her even more attentively.

The portion size each time is not large, but eating small meals frequently ensures that her nutrition is balanced.

From staple foods to fruit snacks.

From vegetables to various bone broths.

It is necessary to supplement calcium, as well as vitamins and trace elements needed by the body.

The whole family was busy and having fun, even the two little kids, Niu Niu and He Xianjun, were keen to help with the fire every day.

When she was three months pregnant, Tang Xinyi asked Jiang Yanzhi to take her to the town.

Using the excuse of going to the public toilet because of frequent urination during pregnancy, I changed several places and quickly arrived at a remote and secluded yard.

Tang Xinyi rented this yard after she finished putting on her makeup.

Because it is located in a remote area and even the way in is not easy to find, people rarely come here and no one pays attention to whether this house is occupied.

The nearly 100,000 kilograms of grain that doubled during this period were piled directly in the house.

Then he quickly returned to the public restroom to relieve himself before going to the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Yanzhi was waiting for her there.

The public toilet was located not far from her rented house, just a few turns away.

However, because the route is hidden and the place is smelly, no one usually notices that path.

"Honey, do you remember what I told you last night?"

Tang Xinyi was supported by Jiang Yanzhi and walked out slowly.

"You said you knew a grain merchant who had a lot of grain, and you had helped sell quite a bit of it to her."

"Wife, I always knew you had a secret. After all, how could a village girl have tens of thousands of yuan in savings?"

"But you're pregnant now and are going to be a mother. I hope you can try to trust me a little."

"After all, I'm in the black market. I have more connections than you do. If I were to do this, it would definitely be more convenient for me."

"Of course, my wife, I don't want a penny of the money you earn. It's all yours. Isn't it good to have a husband working for you?"

Jiang Yanzhi hugged Tang Xinyi and supported her, worried that she would fall.

But he lowered his head, just close to Tang Xinyi's ear, and whispered to her.

This way, others won't notice anything unusual and their voices won't be heard.

After all, Tang Xinyi looked like a pregnant woman. Even though there was a strict separation between men and women in this era, no one could say anything when a young couple helped a pregnant woman walk.

No matter what era, pregnant women are always treated with tolerance.

"I brought you out today for this very reason. I just got the news that a batch of grain has arrived at the Hongqi Commune."

"Originally, I was supposed to handle the food, but as you said, it's inconvenient for me to run around while I'm pregnant, so I'm going to leave this job to you!"

"Now the whole country is suffering from famine. The grain merchant said that this batch of grain will be sold at half price and given away at half price."

"Find a way to donate half as a way to accumulate merit for everyone, and exchange the other half for some antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Money and notes are not that important!"
