Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Getting Ready to Set Out Again

Jiang Cheng and Shen Que left the night school together.

The night wind was strong, so they didn’t linger outside and hurried home.

Upon returning home, Grandma Shen gave each of them a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the chill.

After Jiang Cheng pinched her nose and drank the soup, she saw the yarn that Grandma Shen placed on the table.

"Grandma Shen, where did all this yarn come from?"

Jiang Cheng had been thinking about getting some yarn to knit sweaters and pants for everyone.

"Shen Que brought it back, said it’s for knitting sweaters for the family."

After saying this, Grandma Shen pointed to a ball of pink yarn and said, "This color is for you."

Family? For her?

Jiang Cheng suppressed a smile at the corners of her mouth and gave Grandma Shen a knowing look.

Jiang Cheng: Could you be more subtle?

Grandma Shen: No, I can’t!

The two exchanged smiles, and Jiang Cheng turned to look at Shen Que.

"I like this color."

"Hmm, you look good in any color."

Shen Que’s sudden compliment made Jiang Cheng smile even wider, and she confidently said, "I think so too."

"Sister looks good in everything!"

Little flatterer Shen Yue chimed in.

The whole family laughed happily together.

Grandma Shen cooked dinner, and the Shen family’s meals were definitely considered good.

But even if the other families in the courtyard knew, they had nothing to say.

After all, Shen Que was the factory director; eating some meat was normal!

After dinner, Jiang Cheng went next door to write letters.

The first letter was to Elder Xu, written in the tone of an excellent junior, proudly detailing her recent work accomplishments.

The second was to Uncle Zhong, with a similar theme to the one for Elder Xu.

The third was to Director Leng, focusing on the project she was currently working on, and she also inquired if a translator would be needed at the next trade show.

After finishing the letters, she put stamps on them.

Jiang Cheng looked at the stamps on the envelopes, thinking of how valuable stamps would be in the future.

If there’s a chance, she’ll buy some; if luck is on her side, it’s good; if not, so be it.

Rare stamps are valuable because they are issued in small quantities.

If they were easy to get, they wouldn’t be valuable.

With the letters written and the packages ready for mailing, Jiang Cheng took out books to continue studying.

At ten thirty in the evening, Shen Que brought over a bowl of millet porridge.

Jiang Cheng accepted it but didn’t let Shen Que come in.

Opening the door to eat was a bit cold, and with the door closed, they weren’t a couple yet.

Shen Que realized this too, and simply said:

"Close the door properly, I’m heading back."

"Okay."

Shen Que waited for Jiang Cheng to close the door before returning to the next room.

The next day, after finishing breakfast together, Shen Xing and Shen Yue braved the wind to go to school.

Jiang Cheng was the last to leave, carrying her letters and packages, braving the cold north wind to the post office.

She paid for the postage, sent the items, and returned directly to the courtyard.

That day, Jiang Cheng studied while hooked up to a drip.

After three in the afternoon, Shen Que returned with two people.

Upon hearing the noise, Jiang Cheng hurried out, and when Shen Que saw her, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Jiang Cheng: Actually... it would be easier for me to get one from inside.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t say anything, instead pulling the coat tighter, giving Shen Que the impression she really needed it.

Shen Que noticed this out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.

It’s true, men look their best when they feel needed.

"What are they doing?"
