Chapter 39 Is he no longer attractive to his young wife?

"Hey, Captain Rong is back?"

In the evening, Rong Jingchen returned home and met two people in the yard.

Rong Jingchen's usually serious expression relaxed a lot, and he nodded towards the two men, "Good evening, uncles."

These two men are about the same age as Rong Jingchen's father. They are retired veterans of the army and have fought on the battlefield with his father. Although they look healthy, they all have old injuries on their bodies, otherwise they would not have retired at this age.

"I heard you brought your wife here?" one of them said, pointing his chin in the direction of his house. "I have to say, the dishes your wife cooks every day are so delicious that you can smell them from far away even through the door!"

"That's right. We've been so hungry these past two days." Another person smacked his lips. "Because of this, we even had our meals earlier. The smell of your food makes our own food taste bad."

After finishing their meal, the two of them went downstairs for a walk, but they didn't expect to meet Rong Jingchen.

When they first smelled the fragrance, several families living nearby couldn't help but look for the source. Later they confirmed that it was Rong Jingchen's home, which surprised them.

"My wife is very good at cooking." Rong Jingchen chuckled, "Next time I'm free, I'll invite you to my house for dinner."

These two have a good relationship with his father and are old comrades-in-arms. It can be said that they watched Rong Jingchen grow up, so Rong Jingchen respects these two uncles very much.

"That's great. We've been waiting for you." Both of them had smiles on their faces, but they didn't take Rong Jingchen's words as a compliment at all.

It really tastes delicious!

"OK."

When Rong Jingchen returned home, Ye Muqi had already prepared the meal and put it on the table.

It was another three dishes and one soup. Ye Muqi stewed a chicken and a tofu and fish soup. The soup was milky white like milk. The portions of these two dishes alone were equivalent to the three dishes and one soup yesterday, not to mention a large plate of stir-fried pork with peppers and a dish of stir-fried vegetables.

The main reason was that yesterday there was only meat, and Ye Muqi wanted to eat some vegetables, so he added this dish.

Today, Ye Muqi asked him to bring salted eggs to the troops, but Chen Hong shamelessly asked for one during lunch. Yu Jianguo also came to him and asked for another one. If Ye Muqi hadn't brought him so many, he would have been lucky to have just one.

I really don't know what kind of hungry ghost Chen Hong is reincarnated to be willing to snatch even a broth from him!

Fortunately, he had dinner all by himself.

Rong Jingchen looked at the huge table of food. Yesterday was the first day of making money, so today was still so abundant. Did Ye Muqi spend all the money he earned every day on buying food?

Rong Jingchen thought to himself, why not... after getting his salary, he should send less money home and give more to Ye Muqi, so that she wouldn't continue like this and the money she earned would not be enough to buy meat.

"Did you run into our political commissar yesterday?" After sitting down at the table with Ye Muqi, Rong Jingchen suddenly remembered what Yu Jianguo said in the morning and asked.

Ye Muqi tilted his head and looked at him in confusion, Political Commissar?

I only met a person from the military region yesterday. He looked like a leader, but I didn't expect him to be a leader, and a political commissar at that.

"Yeah." Ye Muqi nodded and didn't care. She was just taking a ride and shouldn't have caused any trouble for Rong Jingchen.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Rong Jingchen asked again.

Ye Muqi would tell him that she was working at the breakfast shop, and would also tell him that she had made money, just like an ordinary couple would share their day's events with each other.

"I was so busy that I forgot." She really forgot. Business was so good that she was busy counting small changes.

"I couldn't get a taxi when I went to the city yesterday morning, so I stopped when I saw a car. I didn't expect it was your political commissar." Ye Muqi explained, "Well... the political commissar didn't say anything to you, right?"

Rong Jingchen took a look at his young wife with a somewhat nervous gaze, and found her inexplicably adorable.

"I didn't say anything, just complimented you on your craftsmanship." Rong Jingchen slowed down his tone and spoke.

"Really?" Ye Muqi listened and her smile immediately became brilliant. She liked to hear this. "There are many more customers in the breakfast shop. They all come for my cooking skills."

Rong Jingchen listened, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. His wife's cooking skills were indeed good, but she seemed to put all her thoughts on cooking...

Oh, and make money!

On the first day here, Ye Muqi found a job for himself. Apart from earning money and cooking, there was nothing else to do.

Rong Jingchen suddenly realized that Ye Muqi agreed to follow him to the military area not to live a good life with him as husband and wife, but to make money.

Is it possible that my attraction to him is not as great as making money by cooking?

I liked him so much a year ago...

I have to say that Rong Jingchen is telling the truth to some extent.

But Ye Muqi was completely unaware of this.

"Thank the political commissar for me tomorrow!" Ye Muqi smiled.

"Chen Hong heard that you opened a breakfast shop, and said that he would bring people to your place to eat someday." Rong Jingchen thought of Chen Hong's words. According to his gossipy nature, he might go there someday. In order to prevent his young wife from being scared, he decided to tell her in advance.

"Okay, please bring more people. The more the better. I welcome you." Ye Muqi smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

Although she didn't know who Chen Hong was, she knew that there were many people in the army. If everyone went to her breakfast shop, even if one person just wanted to eat a bowl of bald noodles, how much would that cost?

If that were the case, she could bring forward her plan to buy a car.

Ye Muqi was so happy that she was actually looking forward to everyone in the army going to her breakfast shop.

very good!

She really came here to make money!

Looking at Ye Muqi's smile, Rong Jingchen became more and more certain that Ye Muqi was only here to make money, not to live a good life with him, otherwise she would not have slept in a separate room from him as soon as she arrived.

Although Ye Muqi is not as infatuated as before, Rong Jingchen now feels a little complicated, with an indescribable emotion that is gradually spreading.

As Rong Jingchen was thinking about something, he didn't eat as much as he did yesterday.

I ate at home in the morning, and was given a halved egg snack for lunch. Naturally, I ate less at night. So, I must have had a bad meal yesterday and must have been hungry, right?

Ye Muqi looked at the leftover food and thought to himself.

I’ll use the leftovers to make fish soup noodles tomorrow and have it as breakfast for the two of them.

After dinner, Rong Jingchen went to wash the dishes, and Ye Muqi went into the room with the money she had received. Today's business was better than yesterday, and she received more money. Ye Muqi was going to count all the money she had on her. Having an idea would help her see how long she would have to work hard to buy a car.

When Rong Jingchen came out after washing the dishes, there was no one in the living room and Ye Muqi's room door was closed. Rong Jingchen frowned slightly, and the complicated emotions in his heart became more obvious.

I feel like I've found a roommate, and it doesn't feel like a married couple at all.
