Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Farewell

After having lunch at the Cheng family, Qi Taiguo, reeking of alcohol, and Cheng Su returned from her parents’ home. He sipped some tea and, glancing at the time, which was about right, he picked up his bag to head to the road at the village entrance and take a bus back to the troops in Qing City.

"Let me help you with that," Cheng Su offered eagerly as she reached for his luggage bag.

Qi Taiguo cast a fleeting look that held an indescribable weariness. She seemed eager, almost as if she couldn’t wait for him to leave so he wouldn’t be in the way.

Hmph, she’d better not regret this!

"No need," Qi Taiguo took back his bag.

"Taiguo, this is all smoked meat. Take it all back with you. When you have time, you can steam some for a treat," Mother Qi, carrying a bag full of things, ran out and stuffed it into Qi Taiguo’s hands.

"Mom, keep it for yourselves. I’m alone, I don’t usually cook, mostly I eat in the canteen, and I don’t have the time to make these things," Qi Taiguo was reluctant to take them.

He knew that at home they didn’t eat meat every day, and the meals couldn’t compare to those at the military base. To ensure the soldiers’ physical strength, the base’s meals, although not extravagant with fish and meat, always included some meat, necessary for the intense training they faced.

"You could make it as a midnight snack sometimes!" Mother Qi insisted he take it.

Having no choice, Qi Taiguo took it.

"Taiguo’s wife, why don’t you accompany Taiguo back to his military base? He has a dormitory, and you two could have a place to be together," Father Qi said to Cheng Su.

Mother Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Qi Taiguo looked over.

Cheng Suxin’s heart skipped a beat, and she smiled. "Dad, I’m not in a hurry. I just married into the family. It won’t be too late to spend a few days at home to show respect to you and Mother-in-law before I go!"
