Gu Qi didn't even look at her. He heard the chaotic footsteps fade away and patted the back of his wife's hand to comfort her.
"Don't listen to what my mother said, and don't believe it. I haven't forgotten a single word of what she said when she proposed to me."
Mom didn't know what he was thinking. He hadn't been back for a few years, and as soon as he got home, he pulled me and said that they had to divorce and get rid of Chen Xingling, saying that he now had a higher title and salary, and only a girl from a scholarly family like Qin Tiantian was worthy of her.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard a thump from behind. It turned out to be his wife, whom he hadn't seen for more than three years, falling to the ground, her face pale and unconscious!
He was terrified and rushed forward to pick her up.
When the son saw his mother fainted and motionless, he was so scared that he cried out “Wow~”
The house was suddenly in chaos!
——And the instigator was his mother.
No matter what the old lady thinks or what nonsense she talks, he has to let his wife know his true thoughts and not let her misunderstand him.
Chen Xingling playfully scratched his palm with her pinky finger and deliberately hummed, "What did you say when I proposed to you? I have forgotten everything."
Gu Qi is a typical innocent straight man. He fought back with a little embarrassment and even blushed.
"...I want to marry you...and treat you well."
Chen Xingling was amused by his straightforwardness and lack of sense of humor. She giggled and the whole ward was filled with her naughty laughter.
Gu Qi stood up awkwardly and said calmly: "It's getting dark, I'm going to buy food."
After saying this, he walked out with his long legs. His straight and handsome back could not hide a hint of embarrassment.
After dealing with the "hidden" mistress and teasing her handsome young husband, Chen Xingling lay back in a good mood, looking around lazily and curiously.
The wards in the 1970s were rather shabby, with bare iron beds, iron windows with small sash windows, and walls painted with bumps. Apart from a few small wooden stools, there was nothing else, so simple that it was almost shabby.
Chen Xingling stroked the little face gently and found that the features were almost exactly the same as his own. The only difference was that the previous face was smooth and tender, while the current one was dry and cracked to the point of being rough.
In addition to malnutrition, part of the reason is that they have no money to buy vanishing cream and cannot withstand the biting, cold and dry north wind.
Every day she would bring hot meals to the table, and her mother-in-law would invite her two daughters to come and eat, while she could only go into the kitchen to eat the leftovers.
Occasionally, her sister-in-law Gu Xuan would call her to eat together, but her mother-in-law would always say with a cold face that the food was not enough and she could only sit at the table after they finished eating.
The youngest sister-in-law, Gu Miao, not only looks like her mother-in-law, but also has the same temperament. She always "feeds" her and refuses to even call her "sister-in-law".
She disliked Chen Xingling because she was a country girl, and often emphasized that she was not allowed to sit at the table to eat with her, because country girls were inferior people and were not qualified to sit at the table with her.
But every time they finished eating, there were usually only leftovers, and she could only eat the leftovers from the previous meal.
It’s not easy to eat meat these days. Even though Gu Qi earns a lot, he still can’t feed so many mouths at home.
Normally, meat would only be bought once every three days, but she could only drink the leftover soup at most. Often she couldn't get even a piece of meat, and going hungry was the norm.
They do the most tiring work, but can only eat the least and worst food. In such a difficult and oppressive environment, even the most beautiful flowers will wither and turn yellow.
Chen Xingling couldn't help but curse a few times.
Her stomach growled, and she rubbed her shriveled belly. She couldn't help but think of the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket and secretly swallowed her saliva.
Suddenly, a wonderful light flashed before my eyes!
Chen Xingling didn't have time to be surprised - he found himself back to the large chain supermarket where he came from!
What's going on? Didn't she travel through time and space in a book?
Could it be the supermarket in the book? Impossible, in this era of material scarcity, there were very few small shops and supply and marketing cooperatives, let alone large supermarkets!
Soon, she discovered that there was no one else in the supermarket except her!
The shelves were neatly arranged in rows, with vegetable section, fresh food section, cooked meat section, underwear section, toy section, stationery section... everything was available, including biscuits, candies, milk, goat milk, yogurt, etc. She was dazzled by the sight!
Not to mention the familiar areas, even the cold storage that is usually hidden behind the "No Trespassing" sign and the ridiculously spacious warehouse are filled with countless goods.
According to the city news, this supermarket cost more than 1 billion yuan from its construction to its stocking, and it topped several national rankings!
Just walking around the park, my legs are already sore.
Could it be that this supermarket followed her into the book?
Chen Xingling was very suspicious and took out a bag of candies.
The next moment, she was still sitting on the hospital bed, surrounded by the simple ward, but in her hand there was a bag of water-flavored candies.
Chen Xingling: “…”? ? !!
She tore open the package doubtfully, took out one and ate it - it tasted great!
This is weird! What happened just now?
She just thought of the supermarket - suddenly she was back to the entrance of the big supermarket she used to live in, with long and neat rows of shelves and a wide variety of rich and colorful goods stretching as far as the eye could see!
Chen Xingling still had some doubts, and her legs couldn't help but run straight to the cosmetics area, picked up a few bottles of high-end nourishing cream, turned around and took out a bottle of frostbite cream and a moisturizing hand cream.
The next moment, she was still lying on the bed in the ward, with several bottles of nourishing cream neatly placed on the quilt.
She held frostbite cream in one hand and hand cream in the other. It was real, just like the sweet candy in her mouth!
Then, she tried it several times over, and her initial surprise soon turned into delight.
——The large supermarket before she traveled through the book actually took up space in her mind!
With just a little thought, she could flash into the space and take anything and any item in the supermarket.
That is the most famous and largest supermarket chain in the country!!!
Countless billions of supplies!!!
Wow, hahahaha! It’s so cool!
Chen Xingling was surprised and excited. He quickly unscrewed the frostbite cream and rubbed his scarred hands against each other. Then he opened the advanced nourishing cream and quickly applied a thick layer on his rough cheeks.
My cheek was slightly painful, but the tightness and dryness of the skin disappeared very quickly and gradually became more relieved. It was not as uncomfortable as before.
Thinking of his legs and arms that became dry and itchy every autumn and winter, Chen Xingling did not show favoritism and applied lotion to them all, even to his feet in thick socks, all of which were covered with a thick layer of lotion.
It is worthy of being a high-end nourishing cream. After applying it, it is oily but not greasy. The skin finally has a hint of luster and brightness, and no longer has the horrible feeling of severe chapped skin before.
Chen Xingling heaved a sigh of satisfaction, and was "quite satisfied" with the rapid transformation of the supermarket space from a "surprise" at the beginning.
At this moment, steady footsteps were heard at the stairs!
