From Chapter 12 onwards, I'll take care of you.
From Chapter 12 onwards, I'll take care of you.
Luo Ning followed in Xie Chang'an's footsteps. Today she could go to town to have some fun, and tomorrow she could go back to her parents' home. She couldn't be happier.
Xie Chang'an glanced back casually and saw Luo Ning's childish behavior, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Oh my, so you can laugh too!" Luo Ning clapped her hands and laughed as if she had discovered a new continent.
Xie Chang'an immediately put on a stern face and awkwardly turned around.
Luo Ning ran up and took Xie Chang'an's arm, tilting her head back and earnestly demanding, "Handsome, smile again?"
"Nonsense!" Xie Chang'an's face darkened, and he quickened his pace.
Luo Ning's actions were too bold and a bit frivolous. He was startled, but secretly pleased.
Luo Ning couldn't keep up with his pace, so she just let herself drift along slowly behind.
She was too fat; she would pant heavily if she walked too fast.
She needs to lose weight, lose weight, lose weight—she's saying it three times because it's important.
If she can't even lose weight, she shouldn't bother with any career, let alone trying to subdue Xie Chang'an. She might as well just stay home, eat and wait to die.
Xie Chang'an walked quite a distance without hearing any noise behind him. He turned around and saw a small red dot in the snow, and subconsciously stopped.
When Luo Ning caught up, Xie Chang'an slowed down, and the two walked side by side.
After arriving in town, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as they entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Xie Chang'an suddenly leaned close to Luo Ning and lowered his voice, "Buy whatever you want, I have money on me!"
Luo Ning looked at him with a ghostly expression and turned to look outside. "The sun didn't rise in the west today, and your stingy old lady actually gave you money back?"
Let me tell you, we had dumplings at the old house last night. The old lady did it on purpose, but it's okay, I'll take care of you from now on!
As soon as Luo Ning spoke, she belatedly realized her mistake, her face turning as red as a shrimp. She hurriedly walked inside, saying, "I want to buy some local specialties. Come with me to take a look!"
In her past life, ever since she could remember, Xie Chang'an was the only person in her heart. Her obsession was so deep that it had turned her into a demon.
Now that she is her husband, she always unconsciously wants to be good to him.
Xie Chang'an's eyes flickered slightly, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.
He doesn't yet know that the words "I love you" have warmed his entire life.
The two bought a lot of local specialties at the supply and marketing cooperative. Luo Ning felt terrible about the cost; she wanted to earn money, money, money!
But Luo Ning couldn't skimp on buying local specialties, so no matter how painful it was, he gritted his teeth and accepted it.
She never worried about money in her past life. If she had known this life would be so difficult, she would have been more frugal!
Xie Chang'an's impression of Luoning's delicious food deepened considerably, and that much was true.
Before long, Luo Ning wandered over to the yarn counter, followed by Xie Chang'an carrying things.
"Chang'an, I'd like to buy some yarn, is that alright?" Luo Ning stared at Xie Chang'an with wide eyes.
"Okay!" Xie Chang'an nodded, his ears turning slightly red.
At his age, he had never experienced being stared at so intently and passionately by a woman.
Luo Ning was overjoyed. He weighed the blue yarn and gestured for Xie Chang'an to pay.
"Why not buy red or white? This blue..." Isn't that for men? Xie Chang'an couldn't quite understand Luo Ning's thoughts.
"Blue is pretty, dirt-resistant, and slimming!" Luo Ning explained. The salesperson's ambiguous gaze made even Luo Ning, a thick-skinned person from the future, feel a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to run away with a pot on his head.
"That makes some sense?" Xie Chang'an was convinced by Luo Ning's twisted logic, and after paying, the two left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Luo Ning looked at the street outside. "Chang'an, let's split up and meet at the supply and marketing cooperative at noon." It was too inconvenient to bring Xie Chang'an along, so she happily decided to leave him behind.
"Alright!" Xie Chang'an nodded, and the two parted ways.
Luo Ning was like a bird released from its cage, full of joy, wandering around here and there.
Perhaps because of the Lunar New Year, there were hardly any vendors to be seen, and only a few scattered pedestrians on the road.
Luo Ning wandered to the post office without realizing it and sighed deeply.
She can't go back!
There's nowhere to send letters.
In her previous life, she served in a special forces unit that was only established in 0002, and she was an outstanding special forces soldier and military doctor.
Titles like "Queen of Flowers" and "Miracle Healer" are things of the past life; Luo Ning's mood inexplicably plummeted.
After a long while, she shook her head and left.
As Luo Ning passed by a restaurant, she smelled the aroma of steamed buns and went inside with great interest.
When she was about to buy steamed buns, she realized she had no money on her, and she fled in embarrassment on her whirlwind wheels.
Luo Ning turned into a small alley, looked around to make sure no one was there, took out a basket of eggs, and went back to the restaurant.
When she asked to exchange eggs for steamed buns, the sales clerk readily agreed.
In this era, eggs were a rare commodity, and ordinary families generally couldn't bear to eat them; they were saved to exchange for oil and salt.
Luo Ning exchanged four large steamed buns, wrapped them in brown paper, and tucked them into his bosom, afraid they would get cold and he wouldn't be able to eat them.
Then she found a place and sold the remaining eggs in the basket for money.
If Xie Chang'an finds out about these eggs that appeared out of nowhere, she won't be able to explain them. Selling them will not only bring in money but also dispel Xie Chang'an's suspicions, killing two birds with one stone.
She has revealed many flaws in the past two days, and Xie Chang'an is most likely to become suspicious.
That's the rhythm! She's doing it on purpose!
Last night, she shut down Xie Chang'an's question with a single sentence, giving him no chance at all.
They really think they're amazing, I give them a big thumbs up!
Luo Ning didn't expect the egg business to be so booming, so she sold a few extra baskets.
At the same time, she discovered a shortcut to making money: all the things in her space could be turned into cash!
As long as you find a suitable excuse or don't get caught, it's OK!
When Luo Ning returned to the supply and marketing cooperative empty-handed after selling the eggs, Xie Chang'an, carrying the homecoming gifts and a large pile of other things, was frantic with worry. "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long?"
"You didn't think I was lost, did you?" Luo Ning laughed heartlessly.
Xie Chang'an's face suddenly darkened, and he held out his watch to Luo Ning. "Didn't we agree to meet at the entrance at twelve o'clock? It's almost one o'clock!"
"Oh!" Luo Ning suddenly realized that Xie Chang'an was worried about her, and her heart warmed. "Sorry, I was playing around and came back late!"
She must be out of her mind. She doesn't even have a watch, let alone agree on a specific time. She doesn't dare take out the pocket watch in her spatial storage. Sigh, could she have caught the original owner's bad habit?
Given Luo Ning's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Xie Chang'an's expression softened somewhat.
After the two became more familiar with each other, Xie Chang'an realized that his little wife was brave enough to admit her mistakes, but resolutely refused to change them!
Luo Ning took out some hot steamed buns from her pocket, opened them, and stuffed them all into Xie Chang'an's hands. "I just bought these, have a taste!"
Xie Chang'an was somewhat moved; no one had ever been so kind to him before.
Seeing that Xie Chang'an didn't move, Luo Ning assumed he was embarrassed, so she took a steamed bun herself and said, "You can eat the rest. A man needs to eat well to have strength!"
Under Luo Ning's urging gaze, Xie Chang'an brought the steamed bun to his mouth and took a bite. It did taste quite good.
"Is it delicious? I'll make you even better meat-filled buns with thin skin and lots of filling later!" Luo Ning said with a smile as she took a bite of the bun.
Xie Chang'an nodded, keeping those words firmly in mind.
As the two finished their steamed buns and were about to leave, a young man with slicked-back hair and very fashionable clothes walked over. "Oh, isn't this our Company Commander Xie..."
Xie Chang'an looked up and saw that it was his high school classmate Xu Bing. "Director, it's been a long time!"
"Haha, Chang'an, you're pulling this on me!" Xu Bing laughed and patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder, feeling very pleased.
Among his classmates, he and Xie Chang'an were the best match, but Xie Chang'an was in the army and couldn't cover the area around their hometown, which made him stand out.
So when he saw Xie Chang'an and a fat guy from afar, he immediately came over to show off.
The town is so small that news of Xie Chang'an's marriage spread far and wide, leaving many girls heartbroken.
Xie Chang'an's wife is really not good enough for him; she's a waste of his talent.
If Luo Ning knew what he was thinking, she would definitely beat him up.
I'm a one-in-a-million high-potential stock, what do you know, you nouveau riche?
It turns out Xie Chang'an wasn't bad at speaking, but rather too lazy to talk...
Xu Bing, with her nose in the air and a look of utter disdain, made Luo Ning, with great tact, retreat to the side and grow mushrooms.
Xie Chang'an turned his head and beckoned to her, "Xiao Ning, come here!"
What's going on? Luo Ning was completely bewildered. Xie Chang'an calling her so affectionately didn't seem like a good thing!
