Chapter 154 Want it?
"Thank you, Wanwan, for thinking so much about me."
Chen Yuan rested his chin against Su Wan's forehead, rubbing it gently.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time. Just as the atmosphere was getting tense, He Saozi's voice came from outside the door.
"Xiao Su, we've already started cooking dumplings. You and Captain Chen, come down and eat them!"
Su Wan, who was sitting on Chen Yuan's lap, seemed to have just remembered something. She struggled to get out of his arms a little embarrassedly, but he held her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Just a taste...
Su Wan pushed his hand away with a blush on her cheeks. "We should go eat dumplings. I'll boil some hot water for you to take a bath."
"No, I'll just take a cold shower."
Chen Yuan spoke and went into the room carrying his luggage.
"Cold water showers are not good, I still..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at her.
But he couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes.
"You want it?"
“No… no…”
Su Wan's face flushed instantly. The daytime temperature in Guangdong Province had reached 34 or 35 degrees Celsius. In fact, there was no need to boil water because the water was already a little warm.
She hurried to find clothes for Chen Yuan and stuffed a set of casual clothes into his hand.
"Here are your clothes, go take a shower!"
After saying that, she hurried to the living room again.
Looking at Su Wan's awkward look, Chen Yuan's lips were full of smiles.
It just so happened that he had a few days off during this period and could take her home.
Chen Yuan, who came out of the shower, was wearing white casual clothes and gray pants. He looked very handsome and stylish.
His whole demeanor became more and more calm, making Su Wan feel like she had gotten a great bargain.
"Thank you for your hard work while I was away. I see you've kept the house very clean."
"After all, this is where I'm going to live from now on, so I have to clean it up anyway."
Su Wan pointed to the TV in the living room and the telephone next to it and said, "I installed a color TV and a telephone. I've paid the bill. You can call home anytime."
"This house must cost eight or nine thousand, right?"
Chen Yuan once again felt that he was really enjoying the luxury of being a gigolo. After all, with his salary, he could not afford so many electrical appliances.
He also knew how hard it was for Su Wan to make money.
Looking at her cheeks that had become thinner, he said distressedly, "We have enough money at home. You don't need to work so hard."
"I'm not tired."
Su Wan thought of something and quickly pulled Chen Yuan into the room and pushed him onto the bed.
Looking at this familiar scene, Chen Yuan placed his hands very properly.
Then, he saw Su Wan use the key to open the drawer, take out the house deed and place it in front of him.
The house deeds from the 1980s were still handwritten and stamped. Chen Yuan was a little surprised to see that the name of the courtyard house owner was Su Wan.
"Did you buy a courtyard house?"
"Well, I bought three, and my second brother bought three. He plans to give one to my eldest and third brothers, and I plan to give one to your eldest brother. The remaining two are ours, one big and one small. We will live in the big one in the future."
Looking at the information on the property title, Chen Yuan had no idea how much money Su Wan had earned.
Su Wan took out her passbook and handed it to Chen Yuan.
No matter how capable he was, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the million-dollar deposit above.
"You earned all this?"
"Last year, there was a huge snowstorm and temperatures dropped significantly across the country. I bought a lot of down jackets in advance and made a lot of money."
"Wanwan, you really have a talent for business."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
After all, in the 1980s, there were really few people who dared to expand their business to such a large scale.
The struggle against landlords and the denunciation of landlords at that time made many people very resistant to doing business. Half of the wealthy businessmen in the city were separated from their families because of the denunciation of landlords, and no one dared to gamble.
Su Wan seemed to know what Chen Yuan was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything will be fine now that reform and opening up has taken place. We are also building a house at home. Don't worry, reform and opening up have come out, and things will never be the same again."
"Don't worry, I will protect you!"
Chen Yuan finally felt that he was a little better, and guessed that after returning this time, as long as he made another contribution, he might be promoted. However, his wife was so outstanding that he could only keep up.
"I will protect you too."
Su Wan raised her eyes, then took Chen Yuan's hand and said, "Let's go downstairs and eat dumplings first."
Chen Yuan nodded, and the two went downstairs together.
The sisters-in-law downstairs had already prepared the tables and chairs. Since it was Sister-in-law Qiu's family who were having dumplings, everyone brought some food so that Sister-in-law Qiu wouldn't have to prepare it all by herself.
This time, Chen Yuan sat together with the political commissar and a group of men, while Su Wan sat with the sisters-in-law.
Wang Mei, who used to be arrogant and domineering, now sits at the table obediently, lowering her head to eat dumplings.
No one in the compound wanted to make friends with her. Unfortunately, Mrs. Wei was not around, so Su Wan smiled more and talked less when she ate dumplings.
When they were almost done eating, Mrs. Qiu smiled and said, "It's just a temporary group meeting. Don't mind me. My skill in making dumplings is OK, but my cooking skills are really not as good as Xiao Su's."
"Sister-in-law, you are too modest. The sauerkraut and blood sausage you made is delicious. This is the first time I have eaten something so delicious."
"I'm glad you like it. These are our Northeastern specialties. Next time I'll prepare more and make you a few more delicious Northeastern dishes."
The political commissar beside him laughed and said, "Xiao Su, don't listen to your sister-in-law. Her only specialty is this pickled cabbage and blood sausage. Her other dishes are not as delicious as yours."
When everyone heard the political commissar expose his wife's lies, they all burst into laughter.
Mrs. Qiu didn't get angry. She gave the political commissar a glare before saying, "I'm not very good at cooking. If you don't like the food, go to the cafeteria. I see everyone is enjoying the food, but you're the only one who eats too much and complains about everything."
Then he added, "Next time you don't have to work, why don't you show us your cooking skills?"
"Come during the holidays and I'll show you my skills."
The political commissar didn't get angry. He spoke warmly and sighed, "I still miss the braised pork made by Xiao Su. It tasted so good."
The atmosphere was set at this point. Su Wan thought that Chen Yuan was able to go to the Army Academy thanks to everyone, so she replied with a smile.
"Everyone happens to be here, so we'll treat everyone to a meal together tomorrow afternoon."
Su Wan was always generous when treating others, and everyone agreed after hearing about it.
Mrs. Qiu glanced at the political commissar with a hint of resentment, then said to Su Wan, "Xiao Su, it's not easy for you to make money. Don't listen to him. He just drank too much and said whatever was on his mind."
