Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Gossip Time at Home

Jiang Cheng had a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup, and felt warm all over.

"Alright, finish eating and go to sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow!"

"It’s so late already!"

Grandma Shen started urging.

It was indeed very late.

Jiang Cheng agreed with a smile, chatted a bit with a few people, and then went back to the place next door with her bag.

As soon as she opened the door next door, the heat hit her face.

The stove was already set up.

Above the stove was a chimney pipe as thick as a thigh, extending to the window.

A hole had been opened in the window, and the pipe extended out, with its edges sealed with yellow clay.

It wasn’t pretty, but it was very warm.

In the corner, there was a basin of water to add humidity to the room, otherwise with both the stove and the bed heated, it would be too dry inside.

Jiang Cheng put down her bag, quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, and then comfortably threw herself onto the bed.

On the bed was a peony-patterned quilt and a blue-and-white checkered blanket, paired with curtains featuring small blue bamboo patterns, giving off a nostalgic vibe.

Jiang Cheng took off her outerwear, slipped into autumn clothes and pants, and crawled into the cozy quilt.

"Ah—so cozy!"

She rubbed herself against the quilt twice contentedly, sighed afterward, settled into a sleeping position, covered herself, and went to sleep.

The exhaustion of the whole body gradually disappeared surrounded by warmth.

Drowsiness crept in.

There was a feeling that she could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

Her eyelids were still struggling, but her brain had already stopped functioning.

When Jiang Cheng opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

Through the not-too-thick blue bamboo curtain, she could vaguely see someone walking around in the yard, and even hear voices.

Jiang Cheng lazily turned over, not wanting to get up for the first time.

Just as she thought of this, she persuaded herself to accept it calmly.

There was no choice—the temperature in the bed was just right.

It was like a charming little demon, trying every means to tempt her.

Jiang Cheng lay there for another ten minutes or so.

"Hey—your bladder says it’s time! You have to get up!"

Jiang Cheng began putting on her clothes layer by layer.

After dressing up, she put on her army coat and with a creak, opened the door.

Cold air immediately rushed into her nostrils, and her warm nasal cavity felt frozen for a moment.

"I’m up."

"Morning, Grandma Shen! I’m going to the bathroom!"

"Hurry up then!"

Sitting at the door, Grandma Shen placed the needle she was holding into the sewing basket.

She patted her legs, got up, held the sewing basket, and went indoors to prepare food.

After Jiang Cheng returned, she went directly into Grandma Shen’s room.

There were only the two of them left at home.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue had gone to school, and Shen Que had gone to the machinery factory early in the morning.

Grandma Shen placed a bowl of wonton on the table and grinned gossipily, "You didn’t see it, I was planning on cooking breakfast this morning, but Shen Que insisted on making wonton, saying reheated food isn’t as tasty as freshly cooked wonton."

"The way he cares... I can’t bear to look."

Grandma Shen spoke disparagingly, and Jiang Cheng listened with a bright smile.

"He’s thinking about me, not bad at all."

"Did Shen Que say anything else? Did he miss me when he didn’t see me this morning?"

Grandma Shen glanced at Jiang Cheng, dismissing it, "You are something else. Other girls would blush hearing this."

Jiang Cheng proudly said, "What’s there to blush about! This is what it means to be liked for my abilities!"

Grandma Shen was amused by Jiang Cheng.

"You, half of the wrinkles on my face are thanks to you."

Jiang Cheng immediately flattered, "These are the traces of wisdom, not wrinkles!"

The old and the young teased each other.
