Chapter 10 State-Owned Hotel
Wen Ci sipped his noodles and said, "I can do anything."
After eating the knife-cut noodles, Huo Jingyuan cleared the bowl and prepared to wash the dishes. Wen Ci said righteously: "I'll wash the dishes. You cook and I wash the dishes. This is the rule!"
Wen Ci is from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Between a husband and wife, whoever cooks the meal should be responsible for washing the dishes.
This is the education Wen Ci received since childhood.

In the evening, an uninvited guest came to the Huo family.
Wen Ci was watching a black and white TV at home. Huo Jingyuan was not at home because he was handling the house matters, so Wen Ci was the only one left at home.
There was a knock on the door.
Wen Ci went to open the door, and the person who came was Jiang Zhenjun.
The original owner’s biological father.
"Where's Huo Jingyuan?" Jiang Zhenjun frowned slightly when he saw Wen Ci. He exuded the frightening aura of a superior. "Are you home alone?"
Wen Ci shrugged: "What else?"
Wen Ci was not afraid of the aura of this superior.
In her previous life, she had killed countless infected humans on the battlefield.
There was murderous aura everywhere, but it had been restrained.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Jiang Zhenjun narrowed his eyelids and asked, "I'm your father, what's your tone and attitude?"
Wen Ci smiled, met his gaze, and said calmly: "Have you ever raised me?"
In one sentence, the atmosphere was brought to zero o'clock.
Jiang Zhenjun's original anger also disappeared with this sentence. He slightly restrained his stern expression and asked again: "Where is Huo Jingyuan?"
"I don't know." Wen Ci answered lazily.
"I heard you jumped into the sea during the day?"
Wen Ci chuckled: "I call that swimming."
Suddenly, Wen Ci saw Huo Jingyuan talking to someone not far away, raised his hand and pointed in the direction: "Look, Huo Jingyuan is over there, go find him yourself."
After saying that, Wen Ci closed the door.
Haha, my cheap dad comes to my house to show off. Instead of chatting with him, I might as well go back and watch the black and white TV.
Wen Ci returned to the living room and watched TV happily. In this era, there were very few TVs available, but the quality was extremely high.
After a while, Wen Ci heard the sound of a key opening the door.
Listening to the footsteps in the yard, I could tell there were two people.
Wen Ci's mouth twitched, his cheap father was here too.
"Uncle Jiang, would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."
"No, I just heard that Xiao Ci jumped into the sea, so I came to see her. Uncle will treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant tonight."
Huo Jingyuan was about to refuse.
"I want to go." Wen Cifa's voice sounded. She walked to the door and looked at the two people in the yard. She said slowly, "I have been in Beijing for so long, but I have never eaten food in a state-owned restaurant."
The original body had been eating unnutritious and unpalatable meals since she was a child. Even when she was brought home by the Jiang family, she had never eaten in a state-owned restaurant.
Huo Jingyuan agreed: "Then Uncle Jiang, see you tonight."
Jiang Zhenjun glanced at Wen Ci, and he felt that his biological daughter had become a little different. When he brought her back, she was cautious, timid and cowardly.
But now all that is gone.
-
The military compound in the capital city is in an extremely advantageous location. There is a main street outside the door, and it takes about six or seven minutes to walk to the state-owned hotel in the city.
After Wen Ci left the compound, she couldn't help but look around. Beijing was a veritable capital city, but it was different from what she had seen before.
There are no cars or tall buildings on the streets.
The houses on both sides of the road were all made of red bricks and tiles, most of which were only one or two stories high. Tall trees were planted every few meters along the roadside. Wen Ci only recognized the willow trees among them.
