She originally thought she was enjoying her golden years, but after death, Bai Jing unexpectedly returned to when she was sixteen.
In this year, she had not yet married that scumbag. He was a...
Chapter 211: Appointment in City A
The child was practicing walking in the main room. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately shouted "Mom, Mom" and came forward to greet them.
Unfortunately, he was blocked by the threshold of the main hall.
"Hold, hold, hold Duoduo." The little guy drooled and called for his mother to hold him.
Nan Lichen picked up the little guy and held him in his arms, "You little brat, look at how sloppy you are, be careful no one will want to play with you in the future."
Nan Lichen's son is already one and a half years old, and is in the stage of babbling and learning to walk. Of course he can understand what his father means.
"Yes, yes, my sister is playing."
"You little bastard." Nan Lichen slapped his son's butt speechlessly.
The food on the table was hot, which showed that Xiao Xue had prepared it after Nan Lichen left.
"Sister Xiao, thank you so much." Bai Jing was so satisfied to be able to eat hot meals as soon as she got off the car.
"What's there to thank me for? You must be hungry. Eat first and then we can talk."
They still didn't finish chatting after dinner. It was already late and they still had to go back and clean up, so Nan Lichen directly sent them home.
When they returned to the courtyard in City A, Bai Jing was surprised to see that it had obviously been cleaned up. "Did you have someone clean this up?" She looked at Jiang Chen beside her in confusion.
Jiang Chen smiled and explained to her, "I gave the key to Li Chen when they came back last time. When I informed him, I told him that I had hired someone to do it."
Bai Jing was very happy with his attentiveness, so she walked forward with a smile and kissed Jiang Chen hard on the face.
"Reward for you."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied with her reward and also liked the surprises she brought him from time to time.
"Keep it up." Bai Jing took her luggage and went back to the house to pack.
Although the two are engaged, they haven't got their marriage certificate yet, so there are some things they naturally can't do.
Jiang Chen behind her had a doting look on his face. "I'll go boil some water. Come out and take a shower after you're done." He didn't forget to give instructions to her from behind.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Although the two have lived together for a long time, the little surprises from time to time make them feel extremely excited.
Maybe this is the beauty of love.
They had a dreamless night and went out early the next morning to buy daily necessities. Since they were going to stay for a long time, the things they had prepared before were naturally not enough.
Besides, Jiang Chen didn't want to let Bai Jing down, so he naturally wanted to buy her what others had.
Although City A is not as good as City Lu and City B, it has many necessary facilities.
Even the Friendship Store is a four-story building.
Jiang Chen naturally would not let Bai Jing suffer any injustice, so he took her to the most prosperous and well-stocked Friendship Store in City A to buy daily necessities.
"I didn't expect there would be bedding here. Why didn't I know this before?" Bai Jing found something she didn't expect when she came to the second floor.
The four-piece bed set, as far as she could remember, was not available until at least the early 1990s. But now, in just 70 years, she hadn't expected that the Friendship Store already had it.
"I didn't know that before. Do you like it?" Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the items inside. He knew that these were all items used in bed. "If you like it, you can buy a few more sets."
Bai Jing naturally liked it, "Okay, let's go and choose."
Perhaps the woman's shopping desire was aroused, Bai Jing bought a lot of things, and Jiang Chen naturally bought Bai Jing a bicycle and other things as well.
Now you don’t have to worry about not being able to bring back the things you buy.
They were out shopping until noon, and they were not in a hurry to go back. Instead, they went directly to the state-owned restaurant across the street and ordered a table of delicious food to reward themselves.
"When are you going to work?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask her about work while eating.
Bai Jing thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow." She didn't have much time, and she couldn't avoid reporting.
The deputy city lord seemed to be in a hurry to call them over, and I don’t know if there was another major incident.
She was still thinking about what happened in the army last time, and she didn't know what the outcome would be.
Unfortunately, she was not from the army and had no way of knowing what happened next.
"What about you? Has the army urged you?" It has been several months and Jiang Chen has received several letters. I heard that they were all sent by Leader Shu.
I don't know how long he can stay with me.
Jiang Chen picked up a piece of braised pork for her and said, "I'm not rushing you, but there's a project at the research institute that they want me to lead, so I might go back early."
He has another identity, and he also wants to spend more time with her, but he is also impatient and has written a lot of reports and submitted them. Now, the leader has handed the important task to him.
Alas, if he had known this earlier, he wouldn't be so anxious. He would have packed his things and handed them in when he got back.
"Then when are you leaving?" Bai Jing's bite of the braised pork suddenly lost its flavor. "How long can you stay?"
Seeing the disappointment on her face, Jiang Chen smiled dotingly, "Not so fast, let's eat first, and then we'll go back and talk."
"Oh, okay."
After lunch, there were some dishes left, so Bai Jing bought a lunch box from the store and took it home.
After returning home and packing up her things, Bai Jing asked about Jiang Chen's return to the team.
"When I was in the army, I heard my superiors talk about your other identity. Is it okay for you to be bothered by both? Your health is not as good as before. Have you ever considered choosing only one?"
She was mainly worried that he would take on another dangerous mission. She was selfish and naturally didn't want her lover to be on the most dangerous front line. If she had a choice, she would of course want his safety to be the first priority.
Her thoughts were written all over her face, and Jiang Chen saw through it at a glance, "So which one do you think I should choose?" Naturally, he had also thought about it.
When he was alone, he didn't care about these things and always wanted to contribute as much as possible. But now it's different. He has a lover and will have children in the future.
He wanted to leave his life to them.
Bai Jing glared at him. "Are you asking me if I'm suitable?" She curled her lips and said, "If I were to choose you, I'd naturally hope you'd be safe and healthy, but can your two jobs do that?"
How come this person became stupid after his brain was developed?
Jiang Chen looked helpless. "You, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. The past is the past, and the future is the future. I have you now, and we will have children in the future. I leave my life to you."
He himself is a person who lacks love, but he doesn't want his children to lack love either.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind that serving the country did not necessarily mean going to the battlefield, he could also contribute to the country in the rear.
He plans to focus on weapons research.
But I can't tell her about this.
"Hmph, you're smart. Otherwise, I'd take your money and your child and marry another man. I'd never let you rest in peace even after I die."
Bai Jing's words were also irritating, and this made Jiang Chen angry.
"You dare."
He walked forward and hugged her, pinching her chin and saying, "You can only be mine in this life. If you dare to think about other men, dream on." After saying that, he kissed her.
Fortunately, there was no one at home, otherwise it would not be so convenient for the two of them.
In the afternoon, the two went to buy vegetables again, and the yard finally had the taste of home.
Jiang Chen was enjoying it anyway, but he was a little anxious because he just wanted his little Jing to reach the age to get a certificate soon.
Although it is normal to get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen these days, he doesn't want to hurt her.
It’s better to wait until she is twenty. He can wait.
He is just six or seven years older. He has endured it for so many years, and he can endure it now too.
After another day of leisure at home, Bai Jing rode the bicycle Jiang Chen bought for her to report to the A City Government.
