Chapter 152 He really owes Cen Yan a lot.
After doing all this, Cen Yan opened the door and greeted, "Qi Jingchuan, you can come in now."
When Qi Jingchuan came in, he saw several bags of flour piled up in the room. He couldn't help but frown. He had never seen these things before. Where did they come from?
Before he could ask, Cen Yan pointed to the space under the bed and smiled.
“These are all the grains I brought with me before I went to the countryside with the medical team, thinking of using them to help you and your comrades. But you and I are not home during the day. What if some malicious person climbs over the wall to steal things? So I have been hiding them under the bed.”
"And these too, look, cured pork. I brought it with me in a small suitcase. I'll slice it thinly, stir-fry it, and put four or five pieces in each serving of noodles. It's not enough, but it's better than plain noodles. What do you think?"
Qi Jingchuan couldn't help but think that there were too many supplies: 500 jin of flour, at least several hundred eggs, and half a pig—enough to feed a family of three for more than half a year.
It's more than enough to feed over 130 soldiers; they're quite well-off.
"I have nothing else to give you, this is my secret stash, you can take it. Consider this noodle meal my treat for my comrades." Qi Jingchuan didn't want to pry into Cen Yan's secret. If one day Cen Yan trusted him and was willing to tell him, she would naturally do so, and he could wait.
But as a man, he couldn't let his wife suffer, so Qi Jingchuan took out his secret stash of money.
Cen Yan was stunned upon hearing this. "You still have a secret stash of money? Didn't you say you gave it all to me? Qi Jingchuan, why aren't you being honest with me...?"
Qi Jingchuan swallowed hard. He was a man, not a god. He had to spend money every day packing meals for Cen Yan at the state-run restaurant. It was a man's responsibility to hand over most of his monthly allowance and salary.
But secretly, he wanted to have some money so that when he wanted to buy something for his wife, he wouldn't have to ask Cen Yan for it.
You can surprise her.
However, when Cen Yan discovered that he had hidden some money, Qi Jingchuan still felt guilty and felt sorry for Cen Yan.
His young wife gave up her comfortable life in Shanghai to accompany him to Dongming Island, a place with scarce resources and inconvenient living conditions. She must have suffered countless hardships...
"Here you go." Qi Jingchuan took a deep breath and stuffed the rolled-up yuan into Cen Yan's hand. "This amount of money is definitely not enough to buy 500 jin of flour, eggs, and cured meat. I'll take on a couple more missions later and make up the difference for you."
This man, is he really that adorable? Is he really that selfless?
Cen Yan was both amused and exasperated, and stuffed the ten-yuan note into the man's hand.
"Keep this thirty yuan for yourself. It's inconvenient for a man to be out in the world without money. From now on, you don't have to hand over your entire monthly salary. You can keep one-third of it for emergencies, and the rest can be contributed to the family fund for future use."
"As for today's meal, I promised to treat your comrades, and I'll keep my word. Commander Qi, now that you see so much rice, flour, and cooking oil in the room, can you believe I wasn't exaggerating?"
Cen Yan waited for Qi Jingchuan's reply, head held high, like a child waiting for praise.
Qi Jingchuan stared at her intently, his deep eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, unfathomable and difficult to describe.
His voice was low, deep, magnetic, and husky. Looking into Cen Yan's clear eyes, he nodded, "Yes, I believe you!"
His wife was too good to him. She paid out of her own pocket to do favors for him, maintain relationships with his comrades, and even made an exception by allowing him to keep one-third of his salary as his private savings.
That was a huge sum of over thirty yuan, and his wife just allowed him to keep it for himself!
He really owes his wife so much...
