Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Preparing to Go to the Countryside for Inspection

The Lin Family was taken away.

The residents of the compound were still in shock, gossiping quietly behind closed doors.

Three days later, a major announcement was made.

Newspapers, radios, and some students on the streets were marching with banners shouting slogans.

The special era has come to an end!

Jiang Cheng sat on the large stone at the alley entrance, listening to the aunties talk about vegetable prices, while the uncles discussed national affairs.

The children were chasing each other around, using mud and stones as toys.

Everything had changed but somehow remained the same.

Ding-a-ling, Shen Que rode his bicycle home from work.

Shen Que got off the bike a few meters away from Jiang Cheng, pushed it with one hand, and handed Jiang Cheng a mesh bag.

Through the holes, Jiang Cheng saw a flashlight, a military canteen, and was that a knife?

"What’s this?"

"Aren’t you going to the commune tomorrow? Just in case you need it."

In fact, Shen Que really wanted to accompany Jiang Cheng, but he simply couldn’t leave.

Moreover, if he really did that, Jiang Cheng definitely wouldn’t like it.

Shen Que knew clearly that Jiang Cheng was like an eagle, not one to be confined to one place.

Jiang Cheng acknowledged with an "Oh," got up, and walked back to the compound with Shen Que, tall and short, side by side.

The watching aunties and uncles chuckled; the two of them really matched well.

They arrived back at the courtyard just in time for dinner.

Grandma Shen anxiously called them.

"Hurry up and eat, after that I’ll make some snacks for you to take along."

"Sister, I have something good for you!"

Shen Yue excitedly joined in, handing over a small cloth bag she had sewn herself. When Jiang Cheng opened it, she found a bag of dried apricots.

"How did Yue Yue know I wanted to eat this?"

Shen Yue glanced proudly at Shen Que and said as if presenting a treasure, "Of course, because I like sister the most!"

Shen Que’s mouth twitched, speechless at Shen Yue’s display of affection.

Was it necessary?

Is there really competition between us?

"Sis! This is for you!"

Shen Xing also joined in.

"Sis, this notebook is for you to keep records. Aren’t you going for a survey?"

Jiang Cheng took the neatly sewn notebook from Shen Xing, flipping through it found it indeed better than the usual ones.

"Thank you, I like it."

Jiang Cheng thanked him, and Shen Xing shook his head. As he turned, he threw a mischievous glance at Shen Que.

Shen Que: Since when did this damn competitive spirit start?

Besides, he gave a gift too, alright!

The gift-giving concluded, the five of them sat together for a meal.

After dinner, Li Chunxiang came to help Jiang Cheng pack.

Watching Li Chunxiang trying to take over the tasks, Jiang Cheng shook her head in awe.

"I’m so well-liked, what should I do about it!"

With a giggle, Li Chunxiang, who had fully adapted to Jiang Cheng’s way of speaking, replied without even turning back, "You don’t have to do anything, just sit back and wait."

While talking, Li Chunxiang quickly packed Jiang Cheng’s luggage.

Jiang Cheng looked at the two bags on the ground.

"I’m just accompanying Director Lu to the commune for a survey, and to select an experimental field. Do I really need this much stuff?"

Li Chunxiang, with a disapproving face and a bit like a worried mother, said, "Of course you need it."

"There’s nothing in the countryside, do you have tissues? What if the food isn’t good? You should have some snacks to fill up, and don’t forget the flashlight, there’s no electricity in the countryside."

As Li Chunxiang listed all the necessary items, Jiang Cheng just let her go on without interrupting.

When Li Chunxiang finally finished, Jiang Cheng handed her a set of exercises she had compiled.

"Complete this, and when I come back, I’ll check it. If you get it all right, you can go study accounting."

Li Chunxiang accepted it like a treasure.

She promised, "I will do it well!"

"Alright."

Second, to aim low when attacking. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
