Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Implementing the Work

Jiang Cheng entered the big courtyard ahead of Shen Que and exchanged a knowing glance with Grandma Shen, then smiled and returned to the room.

Once inside the room, she closed the door and pulled the light cord.

With a click, the light grew several degrees brighter, surprising Jiang Cheng slightly.

So bright?

Jiang Cheng moved her gaze from the light bulb to the square table in the main room.

There was a note held down by a kerosene lamp on top.

Jiang Cheng walked over and picked up the note.

It was Shen Que’s handwriting.

"Jiang Cheng, I’m writing on behalf of Grandma Shen."

Just reading the first sentence made Jiang Cheng want to laugh.

She was one hundred percent certain that the light bulb change was Shen Que’s doing.

Grandma Shen also knew why Shen Que did this, but she still pretended not to know.

Shen Que would solemnly write down a righteous reason.

In short, everyone played their part and was happy in it.

Jiang Cheng continued reading, and sure enough, as she guessed.

Shen Que said he organized the circuit when he got home, and conveniently changed her to a brighter light bulb, emphasizing that it was done with Grandma Shen’s company.

The main point was: he did not invade Jiang Cheng’s private space on his own.

Jiang Cheng folded the note, took out a box from the space, put the note inside, and stored it well.

She had a premonition that her chances with Shen Que were very high.

This man grew on her preferences, acted with propriety, didn’t have the machismo of men nowadays, had personal values, and wouldn’t blindly follow the crowd.

In short, she was really satisfied.

Seems like giving a little sweetness appropriately is necessary.

After putting the box away in the space, Jiang Cheng took out some food from the space and changed it into a white cloth bag bought from the department store, packing it well.

After sorting everything, Jiang Cheng returned to the room to continue translating.

At ten-thirty in the evening, the door was knocked on precisely.

Only then did Jiang Cheng realize she had forgotten to tell Grandma Shen about not having a midnight snack.

She got up to open the door, and Shen Que stood outside with a bowl of noodles.

"Hungry?"

"Not hungry."

Shen Que made a sound.

Jiang Cheng directly took the bowl from him and said, "Go get a small bowl, I ate late at the food factory today, I’ll just have some soup."

"Oh—okay!"

Shen Que obediently went to get another bowl.

After returning, the two of them squatted at the doorway; Jiang Cheng took a bowl of noodle soup, and Shen Que had a bowl of noodles.

"Shen Que, thank you."

Shen Que shook his head repeatedly, wanting to say he enjoyed doing it, but feared Jiang Cheng would think him presumptuous.

"Goodnight."

"Ah—goodnight!"

Shen Que hurriedly said goodnight, watching the door close in front of him by Jiang Cheng.

In the darkness, he smiled foolishly and carried the noodles back to the next room, finishing a bowl in no time.

After finishing the noodles, Shen Que washed the bowl clean and returned to his room to read by the kerosene lamp’s light.

At eleven-thirty, the faint light outside the window extinguished; Shen Que knew this meant Jiang Cheng was preparing for bed.

He also simply extinguished the lamp, getting ready to rest.

Just about to lie down, his ears keenly heard the sound of a door opening, from next door.

Shen Que flipped out of bed and quietly exited the room, spotting a flashlight beam.

He quickly opened the door silently, and outside, Jiang Cheng looked a bit embarrassed at Shen Que.

Jiang Cheng nodded at Shen Que and continued walking.

Shen Que followed, whispering, "I’m behind you, shout loudly if something happens."

Jiang Cheng felt briefly awkward.

She knew Shen Que meant well.

Indeed, going to the toilet late at night was somewhat challenging.

"Alright, stay a bit further."

Jiang Cheng really didn’t want Shen Que to hear her sounds in the restroom.
