Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: A Perfect Match for Our Yue Yue

Shen Xing’s thought process ultimately couldn’t keep up with Shen Yue’s, and he followed Shen Yue out without a word.

"Sister! Let me do it!"

Shen Yue trotted over, eagerly took the dishes and chopsticks from Jiang Cheng’s hands, and sweetly said, "Sister, go sit down."

"Okay."

Jiang Cheng had no qualms about enjoying Shen Yue’s help.

Tonight’s dinner was quite sumptuous, with a plate of crispy fried ribbonfish, a bowl of minced meat tofu, and a serving of cold spinach salad.

The rice was a mix of millet and white rice.

Jiang Cheng didn’t want to shortchange her taste buds, so she often took out some fine grains to enhance her life.

Because of this, Grandma Shen insisted on not taking the rent for the second month.

"Sister, eat!"

Jiang Cheng lowered her head and found a piece of boneless white fish in her bowl.

Shen Yue grinned widely.

"I’ll peel more for sister!"

Jiang Cheng felt both amused and awkward eating the fish fillets picked by a child.

"Thank you, little Yue Yue. You eat too; eat more fish to grow tall!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue’s eyes lit up and she asked, "Yeah, I’ll listen, and I’ll grow tall!"

After saying this, Shen Yue took a big bite of fish.

"Slow down."

Throughout the meal, Shen Yue’s enthusiasm made Shen Xing unsure where to look.

Not knowing where to look while also feeling tempted to try it himself.

"Shen Xing, do you have any questions about your homework?"

Shen Xing snapped back to reality and shook his head.

"No, sis. I know it all! The teacher praised me!"

"My star is amazing!"

With Jiang Cheng’s compliment, Shen Xing’s eyes shone like stars.

Actually, having such a good big sister makes it worthwhile to win her favor, doesn’t it?

Under the table, Shen Yue sneakily gave Shen Xing a thumbs-up, and Shen Xing responded with a subtle glance.

The interaction between the two little ones was observed by Jiang Cheng, who didn’t intervene.

They were much more relaxed than before.

This was something she was happy to see.

Jiang Cheng felt as if she was raising a younger version of herself.

After dinner, Shen Xing and Shen Yue played in the courtyard while Jiang Cheng returned to her room to read.

With no translation work on hand, she continued learning a new language.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng took out some stationery to write a letter to Elder Xu in Beijing.

Elder Xu was a strong connection that needed to be well maintained.

Jiang Cheng filled two sheets of stationery effortlessly.

After writing, as she had no envelope, she decided to wait and go to the post office the next day.

But the letter shouldn’t be sent alone.

Jiang Cheng translated a short article and attached it to the letter, awaiting Elder Xu’s guidance.

The back-and-forth communication would let Elder Xu see her progress and satisfy his sense of fulfillment as a mentor.

But this wasn’t enough.

Jiang Cheng went out, accompanied Grandma Shen to Uncle Sun’s house, and exchanged some dried vegetables.

She planned to send them along with the letter.

After finishing this, Li Chunxiang came over to learn about spreadsheets.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue stopped playing as well, and the four of them sat around the table to study!

The atmosphere was so strong that it made Grandma Shen awkwardly think of finding a book to pretend to read.

The next day was Monday, and those going to school or work got up early.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng styled Shen Yue’s hair into two beautiful braids and gave her a new patchwork fabric backpack.

In the backpack were two candies, a handkerchief, and some tissues.

Shen Yue stood straight and dared not move, cherishing the backpack with her small hands. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Jiang Cheng neatly arranged Shen Yue’s braids over her shoulders.

"It’s very pretty."
