Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Temp Worker at the Scrap Yard

The little girl was formally greeted for the first time, her face turned red as she lowered her head. She casually pointed and said, "The basin is over there."

After Shen Yue spoke, she stepped aside, nervously staring at the ground.

Jiang Cheng looked at the seven-year-old Shen Yue in front of her, around 1.2 meters tall, with clean clothes and pants, two braided pigtails, pretty fox-like eyes, long eyelashes, and plump cheeks, making her look round and particularly cute.

"Thank you."

Jiang Cheng thanked her and used the Shen Family’s washbasin to wash her face.

Shen Yue unknowingly stood beside Jiang Cheng, holding a white towel in her hand.

She stood obediently, and after seeing Jiang Cheng finish washing, she quickly handed over the white towel, speaking rapidly to avoid misunderstanding:

"It’s new, my brother mailed it back."

"Okay, thank you."

Jiang Cheng’s expression of gratitude made the little girl feel embarrassed again.

In Shen Yue’s little head, she thought: Sister Jiang Cheng is so polite, so gentle!

Jiang Cheng wiped the water from her face.

As she wiped, the thick fringe of hair on her face was brushed aside.

Shen Yue’s small mouth gradually became round, her eyes sparkling with little stars.

Sister Jiang Cheng is so pretty!

Even more than...

Shen Yue’s chubby face tried hard, but still couldn’t think of what was prettier, she just felt Jiang Cheng was the prettiest sister she had ever seen.

"Are you wondering how I can be so beautiful, right?"

Jiang Cheng boasted without embarrassment, taking the opportunity to tease little Xiao Shen Yue in front of her.

Shen Yue’s face remained red, but she nodded seriously and said, "Beautiful! The most beautiful! The most most most most beautiful!"

Not knowing many adjectives, Shen Yue used five "mosts" to express her agreement.

Jiang Cheng smiled brightly, bending down with a radiant and generous smile to look at Shen Yue and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Shen Yue is also the most most most most most polite, most most most most most adorable little girl I’ve ever seen!"

Shen Yue’s face instantly turned crimson.

Jiang Cheng’s smile widened, unable to resist pinching Shen Yue’s little face and said, "How can you be so cute."

Jiang Cheng didn’t realize that her straightforward compliment directly won her a devoted little fan.

After washing up, Jiang Cheng sat at the dining table with Shen Yue.

The Shen Family lived in a small three-room area on the east side, with two bedrooms and a central room serving as the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

The four of them sat in a circle, with a bowl of cornmeal cakes on the table, a small bowl of tomato soup with fewer eggs, and a side of homemade pickled long beans.

Granny Shen said, "Let’s eat," and took a cake first.

Next, Shen Xing, the nine-year-old brother, took a corn cake and placed it in Shen Yue’s bowl.

"Eat up! After we’re full, we can write a letter to our brother. Later, it will get dark. If we don’t write quickly, we’ll waste electricity."

"Yue Yue, have you thought about what to write?"

"Be sure to think it through, so it’s less likely to make mistakes while writing. If you erase it, the paper will easily tear."

"And make sure to write on both sides, it saves a lot of money!"

"I already thought about what to write last night —— ooh ooh"

Shen Xing, who was speaking, had his mouth stuffed with a corn cake.

Granny Shen put down her hand without giving Shen Xing a look, instead looking at Jiang Cheng and said, "If I don’t stop him, he can talk for an hour."

"No way!"

Holding the corn cake, Shen Xing looked at Jiang Cheng with a serious expression and explained, "I have to write a letter to my brother today, I won’t talk for an hour."

Jiang Cheng understood, smiled lightly without replying.

As they ate, the unique youthful voice of Shen Xing could be heard from time to time.
