Chapter 400 Buying New Year's Goods
"..." Qi Jingchuan's expressionless face cracked a little. Actually, his wife didn't need to ask this question.
Cen Yan realized she had been rash and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's eat, the food's getting cold."
After saying that, she put a piece of food on Qi Jingchuan's plate and buried her head in her food.
Qi Jingchuan also picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks.
Out of politeness, Cen Yan did the same thing again, picking out the dish the man liked.
After going back and forth, a mountain of vegetables appeared in the bowl.
Su Xianhua was both amused and exasperated. "You two have had enough! Can't you finish eating first before you take more?"
The controversy over serving food to someone finally subsided.
At night, with an elderly person in the next room, Qi Jingchuan slept quite soundly, while Cen Yan slept through the night, a rare occurrence.
The next day, she woke up feeling refreshed, and her gaze towards Qi Jingchuan softened.
"Are you going to the military base again today?" Cen Yan walked over and asked the man who was tidying up his bicycle.
"Awake? The food is in the kitchen. Go on your last day. We're on holiday starting tomorrow. It's my turn to be on duty on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"Aren't you the regimental commander? Why do you still have to be on duty?" Cen Yan had always thought that the regimental commander just sat in the office giving orders or whistling on the parade ground.
Qi Jingchuan thought his wife was naive. "Every soldier has his own duties. I am the regimental commander, and I don't have to do many things myself, but that doesn't mean I can completely get rid of these trivial matters."
In other words, he has to keep an eye on other people on duty; there are some things he can skip, but he can't skip going.
Dongming Island is the motherland's defense line, and we must be extremely cautious about it!
"Okay." After the man explained it like that, Cen Yan felt a little regretful: "I'm going to buy New Year's goods with my grandma today. I was thinking of bringing you along, but since you're busy, then forget it."
"You can go tomorrow. Today is the 28th, tomorrow is the 29th, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. You can still buy New Year's goods tomorrow."
"Never mind, the sooner we buy it, the better. Go to the army. Don't worry, I'll take good care of the two elders." Cen Yan waved her hand and ran into the bathroom to wash up.
After breakfast, Cen Yan rode her bicycle, carrying the neatly dressed Su Xianhua, out the door. Since the bicycle could only carry one person, Zhao Gongqin did not go with them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy New Year's goods. Moreover, Zhao Gongqin said that accompanying a female comrade shopping was like going through fire and water, and he was very tired. He didn't want to go, so he said goodbye and went back to his room to organize the data of the machinery factory.
"Yanyan, if he doesn't want to go, then forget it. Let's go, just the two of us. That old man is such a spoilsport." Su Xianhua sat on the back of the bicycle, both angry and amused. How could accompanying his wife shopping be like going through fire and water? Men's mouths!
Before he filed for marriage, he said he would love her for life and never change. He was all talk, but he was unwilling to go shopping with her.
Cen Yan also hummed in agreement: "If Grandpa isn't going, we'll go by ourselves!"
"Yes, go yourself!"
During this period, Cen Yan earned a lot of money from skincare products, virtual fruit, and trench coats. With ample funds, she wanted to buy more things.
Cen Yan helped Su Xianhua into the supply and marketing cooperative, which was packed with people rushing to buy New Year's goods. Many of them were from the family compound and had been working with Cen Yan to make lip balm this year. They had plenty of money and shared similar thoughts with Cen Yan, wanting to buy many things.
Upon seeing Cen Yan, they politely made way for her: "Sister-in-law Cen, you're here to buy New Year's goods too? Come on, cut in line with me. The old lady is getting on in years, so the sooner you buy, the sooner you can go home."
