Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: I’ll Miss You

Leader Song realized for the first time the strong confidence Jiang Cheng possessed.

He was only thinking about how to develop S City, how to progress, how to surpass others.

But Jiang Cheng had always been thinking about a bigger stage.

She cared about S City because it was her hometown, but what she wanted to do was not limited to S City.

Leader Song took a step back, clasped his hands, and bowed in Jiang Cheng’s direction.

"Don’t—"

"I have learned."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly helped Leader Song up and changed the topic.

Leader Song was no fool, he quickly understood that Jiang Cheng didn’t want to continue discussing this topic.

The two diverted the conversation, and Jiang Cheng invited Leader Song to come in for some water, but Leader Song had other matters to attend to and was in a hurry to leave.

Jiang Cheng did not insist on keeping him and bid him farewell.

After seeing Leader Song off, Jiang Cheng hummed a tune as she went back home.

The new journey was so exciting just thinking about it!

That night, Grandma Shen was busy preparing supplies that might be useful.

The train ride would take nearly five days, so being well-prepared was essential.

Jiang Cheng and Shen Yue sat by the kang, listening to Grandma Shen’s constant chatter, occasionally exchanging glances and stifling laughter.

And then, the next second, Grandma Shen, who had her back to them, caught them.

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Yue covered her small mouth, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Auntie, do you really have eyes on the back of your head?"

Grandma Shen snorted arrogantly, "Little one, I know everything you’re up to."

Shen Yue was shocked and quickly looked at Jiang Cheng for confirmation.

Ignoring the reflective spoon in Grandma Shen’s hand, Jiang Cheng said with a straight face, "Your aunt is just that amazing!"

Shen Yue believed it.

Grandma Shen, with her back to the two, could only laugh and cry.

Shen Yue, oh Shen Yue, even after being tricked several times, she still wouldn’t doubt Jiang Cheng.

After packing up, Grandma Shen reminded Jiang Cheng to rest early.

Jiang Cheng agreed, watching Grandma Shen being helped back through the small door by Shen Yue.

Jiang Cheng closed the door properly, fastened the latch from inside, scooped some cold water, mixed in some hot water, and washed up.

After washing up, Jiang Cheng wasn’t very sleepy, so she took out a book to read.

She read until she got tired and then went straight to sleep.

Nothing interfered with her because she was leaving the next day.

Over at the Li family, however, it was a completely different scene.

Li Chunxiang was too excited to sleep; it was her first time traveling, especially so far away.

She was both excited and afraid.

Excited to be going out with Jiang Cheng, afraid she wouldn’t take good care of her.

In short, her mind was a mess, and the more she told herself to sleep and get some rest, the more she couldn’t sleep.

When Li Chunxiang’s mom woke her up, she had only managed to doze off for less than two hours.

Aunt Li looked at Li Chunxiang’s dark circles, disdainfully saying, "Were you sneaking sweet potatoes last night?"

"Mom—"

Li Chunxiang scratched her messy hair, looking miserable, "I couldn’t sleep."

Aunt Li, showing no empathy, fully demonstrated the typical mother style, "Can’t even hold two ounces of sesame oil, what’s keeping you up!"

"Get up quickly, or do you want me to invite you?"

Li Chunxiang was already immune to her mother’s words, dressed with no energy, and got out of bed.

Seeing this, Aunt Li brought over a basin of cold water, "Wash! You’ll definitely be able to run ten miles after cleaning up!"

"Full of energy!"

Li Chunxiang actually listened.

The bone-chilling cold water was stimulating, and after washing, she felt invigorated despite the initial discomfort.

Both the Shen and Li families were busy in the morning, preparing food for the two of them.

Around eight in the morning, Gao Zhonghua came over pushing Shen Que.

Jiang Cheng and Li Chunxiang were already packed up, Gao Zhonghua loaded the luggage, and Li Chunxiang and Jiang Cheng got into the car.

Jiang Cheng sat in the middle, with Shen Que on one side and Li Chunxiang on the other.

Shen Que lowered the car window, and Jiang Cheng waved goodbye to Grandma Shen outside, along with Aunt Li.

"Mom, I know!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
