Seeing that the little girl seemed to really enjoy the food here, he was slightly moved. He thought that when he got back, he could study more recipes for delicacies from different places.
However, Yan Xiao was mindful that they would be traveling by car later, so he intentionally controlled her food intake.
The journey back was different from the way there; even though we took the same route again, it was much faster.
It was two days later when they returned to the Red Star Brigade.
After a long six-day journey, we returned home on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
When Wen Qinghe returned to the modern world last time, the space only contained women's clothes.
Winter is almost here, and the supplies I left for my dad don't include men's clothing yet.
She decided that she must buy some more men's clothing tonight and store it in her space.
The thought of sleeping for another twenty-four hours gave her a headache.
I don't know how to explain this to Yan Xiao.
As soon as Yan Xiao entered the house, he put the snacks he had bought for the little girl on the way back on the table in the main room, and brought her a special little stool so she could sit there and eat some snacks to fill her stomach.
He then went to the kitchen to boil water and cook rice.
...
At the dinner table.
Wen Qinghe rested her chin on her hand, absentmindedly counting the grains of rice in the bowl with her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Yan Xiao's eyes were filled with worry.
"Is the food not to your liking?"
Wen Qinghe quickly shook her head, "No, Brother Yan's cooking is delicious~"
She took a deep breath and hesitated before speaking, "I'm a little tired from the long journey these past few days. Can I sleep in a little longer tomorrow?"
Yan Xiao's brows relaxed.
"Of course you can. You've worked so hard these past few days, Qingqing. You can sleep as long as you want."
When he saw the girl hesitate for a few seconds, he almost thought she had changed her mind, after all, they were getting married in a few days.
Knowing that the girl was tired, he immediately boiled water after dinner and poured it into the bathtub in the shower room.
They brought the stove into the bathroom and called the little girl in to take a bath and relax.
When Wen Qinghe finished washing up, he immediately brought her a dry towel to help her dry her hair.
Wen Qinghe felt ashamed and guilty. She knew the man was worried about her, but she didn't know whether she should tell him about the space.
Her imperfect modern dating experiences taught her that human hearts cannot withstand scrutiny.
Although I don't want to assume anything malicious about him, and he probably isn't that kind of person...
But space is his biggest trump card.
It's better to tell him later when you're sure he'll never betray her...
Wen Qinghe deliberately left the door unlocked tonight.
She first checked the hourglass in her spatial dimension, then quickly lay down on the bed at the last minute.
...
When she smelled the familiar scent of disinfectant in her breath, she knew that she had really come here again.
While feeling grateful for this opportunity, I wonder how many times I can use it.
If each use is one less time available, should she stockpile more supplies in case of unforeseen circumstances?
Hearing a series of hurried footsteps, she sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
The butler, despite his advanced age, really refuses to admit he's getting old.
As expected.
"Oh my, my lady, you're finally awake!"
The butler's voice was strong and clear, with a hint of obvious urgency as he rushed to her bedside.
"Grandpa Butler, I'm fine~ I just slept a little too long, don't worry..."
"Are you 'too long'? It's been another month. If it weren't for several doctors coming to check and saying that Miss is asleep, I would have really kicked that useless Jiang Zhou out."
The old butler looked indignant.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. Grandpa Butler, could you help me contact Xiao Chen? And while you're at it, could you tell Aunt Zhou that I'd like to have hot pot tonight?"
"Okay, I'll go find Xiao Zhou right away."
The old butler was about to turn around and go downstairs when he remembered something and turned back to give the beautiful young woman on the bed some more instructions.
"Miss, you can't sleep anymore!"
Wen Qinghe: (ー_ー)
That's hard to say, after all, she'll fall asleep again in 24 hours...
However, she still nodded to the old butler.
I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched his heavy footsteps.
...
She asked the company manager to send over the company's current operating report and estimated the assets on hand.
A few minutes later, looking at the dozen or so digits in her account balance, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
How should I spend this?
Compared to that number, what was most scarce in that era was supplies.
That portion of her space should last her for decades.
Thinking about the opportunities that would come in two years, and the fact that she would still have to support her father, she knew she couldn't give up this chance.
So go ahead and stock up!
She first gave Xiao Chen the required men's clothing sizes and asked him to prepare them from her clothing company, with the funds transferred from her account.
My dad is 182 cm tall. We have his measurements at home, so it's easy to prepare clothes for him, both inside and out.
As for Yan Xiao's height of 190 cm, considering the man's robust physique, she asked Xiao Chen to prepare the largest size.
There's no need to rush the supplies this time; there's always a chance to travel between the two time periods once a month.
She gave Xiao Chen a month to slowly make purchases, mainly stocking up on clothing and cosmetics.
A month later, she came back to collect it.
Xiao Chen was very fast; the two sizes of men's clothing were quickly delivered to the villa's basement.
There was a spacious area in the basement specifically for storing her personal belongings, which was generally inaccessible to the public.
She put the clothes into her spatial storage.
Aunt Zhou had already prepared the hot pot ingredients. The aroma of the beef tallow broth was rich and strong, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of beef tallow and chili...
