Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Snowball Fight (Bonus Chapter)

Jiang Cheng was forced to join the battle.

In the northeast, the main focus of a snowball fight is on the "fight" aspect; the snow is secondary.

The main goal of a snowball fight is to get the opponent in the snow, there’s no chance to form snowballs because the attacks come too quickly.

Whether it’s boys or girls, the main play is you push me, I push you.

You trip me, I stuff snow down your neck.

In the end, the whole thing turns into a free-for-all, and who’s on whose team becomes completely unimportant.

Except for you, everyone around is an enemy.

Jiang Cheng came to realize this.

The free-for-all continued.

A group of parents watching outside wanted to laugh and shout.

They laughed because these kids and young people were so fun, and shouted because the cotton shoes and pants would get wet again.

The snowball fight lasted for over half an hour and ended with the parents’ intervention.

One by one, brooms were thrown in the middle. Participants like Jiang Cheng, Li Chunxiang, and Sun Aiguo, who were all about the same age, each grabbed a broom and began to sweep the snow.

Everyone swept while playing, with laughter and chatter, ending a happy morning.

When Jiang Cheng returned indoors, Grandma Shen handed him a towel with a smile.

"Hurry and take off your clothes, warm up by the fire!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Cheng took off his cotton shoes, placed them by the stove to dry, and warmed his hands in the process.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue had two pairs of cotton shoes, and after changing into them, one carried a shovel and the other a broom, heading off to school.

Because snowfall doesn’t affect school attendance—in fact, they have to bring their own tools to school to clear the snow.

That day, Jiang Cheng stayed at home, writing and translating manuscripts, and didn’t go anywhere.

In the evening, as the four of them were having dinner, someone knocked on the door.

Jiang Cheng got up to open the door, it was Li Chunxiang.

"Chunxiang, just got off work?"

"Just got back!"

Li Chunxiang took off her gloves, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a slightly crumpled envelope.

"Director Shen sent this for you."

"If you reply, just give it to me tomorrow morning!"

"I’ll head back now!"

Li Chunxiang quickly put her hands back in her pockets and ran home.

Jiang Cheng, slightly surprised, first closed the door, and glanced at the envelope in passing.

It was addressed exclusively to Jiang Cheng.

It was a personal letter.

Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but smirk a bit arrogantly while holding the envelope: "Ah... I feel a bit embarrassed."

Grandma Shen chuckled and said, "Keep that smile in check."

Jiang Cheng let out a silly laugh, not only did he not hold back, but it grew wider.

The four of them shared a knowing smile and continued eating.

After the meal, Shen Xing and Shen Yue went to wash dishes together, while Jiang Cheng returned to the next room.

She opened the envelope directly.

Inside was not only a letter but also a photograph.

In the photograph, Shen Que looked particularly handsome.

His hair was obviously styled carefully, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, buttoned up to the very top, very austere.

Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was straight, hands clasped in front, the creases on his pants seemed meticulously arranged, complemented by shiny leather shoes.

Jiang Cheng clutched her uncontrollable little heart, muttering, "Is this trying to seduce me?"

"Not bad, very successful."

The next day, Jiang Cheng went to Xinhua Bookstore to deliver translation manuscripts, and brought back more translation certificates and manuscripts.

After leaving Xinhua Bookstore, she went to see Principal Wang and Old Bone Ma.

Everything at Principal Wang’s place was running normally, and Old Bone Ma officially started working at the hospital.

Leaving Old Bone Ma’s place, Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard and received another letter from Shen Que.

The two of them began exchanging sweet and humorous letters.
