Yun Jin helped tidy up the luggage.
Hers, hers, all hers.
The two large bags contained food and other necessities that belonged to her.
Apart from He Tingchuan's change of clothes, everything else—food, drinks, and other necessities, such as yarn and wool sweaters—belonged to her.
He Tingchuan has been buying her all sorts of things.
"You can buy so much stuff with your twenty yuan?" Yun Jin raised an eyebrow.
He Tingchuan explained, "I borrowed it. Later, when I got home, I took out all the money I had saved up. I still have 372.65 yuan on me. Here, take this. I only need 65 cents."
A stack of banknotes appeared in front of Yun Jin, including hundred-yuan notes.
You know, these days, ten yuan is considered a big deal, and hundred yuan is rarely seen on the market.
He Tingchuan actually has three.
Sure enough, he came from a wealthy family; he's got a real air about him.
He actually has so much premarital property.
Yun Jin feigned concern: "This was all saved before you got married, how could I take it!"
Looking at Yun Jin, who was greedy for money but tried her best to control her conscience, He Tingchuan couldn't help but smile: "It's all my money before and after marriage. What's mine is yours. Whose wife can't manage the money after they get married?"
He Tingchuan couldn't help but touch her almost dry hair. Her black hair was smooth as satin, and he couldn't help but touch it again and again: "My wife also has to manage the money."
He Tingchuan's head pat almost killed Yun Jin.
Yun Jin: "......"
Oh no, it's the feeling of my heart racing.
People these days are indeed simple and honest. You can tell at a glance that they genuinely want to manage their own money, rather than playing mind games with their wives, nominally letting you manage the money but actually hoping you'll contribute financially.
The current Yun Jin can't afford it.
She could only rely on He Tingchuan to support herself.
Yun Jin felt a sense of pride in being a kept man.
"Sixty-five cents is too little. You should take at least five dollars more. What if you run out of soy sauce or vinegar when you cook in the future? You can't ask me for money then, can you?" Yun Jin solemnly stuffed five dollars into his hand and said with a smile, "Take it, spend it however you like!"
She instantly gave off the feeling of a wealthy and generous woman.
After receiving the money, Yun Jin told He Tingchuan about her decision to lend Li Aimei money for her schooling and waited for his response.
Seeing that she looked serious and wasn't joking, He Tingchuan said, "If you've made up your mind, I won't object. It's good to study more, so you won't miss the college entrance exam if it's reinstated in the future."
Yun Jin tentatively asked, "Do you think it will recover in the future?"
He Tingchuan nodded: "Definitely. The country needs talent. Only those who are educated, knowledgeable and capable can be called talent."
Thinking that Yun Jin had only completed elementary school, he asked, "Do you want to go to school too?"
Yun Jin pointed to her large belly: "Do I look suitable like this?"
He Tingchuan: "..."
Yun Jin asked again, "How long do you think it will take to recover?"
He Tingchuan couldn't say for sure; he himself didn't know: "How would I know about the decision made by the higher-ups? Just wait and see. It will be restored someday, sooner or later, maybe next year, maybe the year after."
Yun Jin: "......"
You've got some foresight, kid.
That's right, the college entrance examination will be reinstated the year after next, in 1977.
Yun Jin certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to tell He Tingchuan about this, lest it cause unnecessary complications.
"Let's go visit the Li family and bring them some pomegranates. I can't eat them all by myself. I'm so grateful to Aimei for keeping me company these past few days. I don't know how I would have gotten through it all without her."
Yun Jin was afraid he wouldn't want to give away the pomegranates he had worked so hard to carry back, so she explained, "Eating too many pomegranates can cause constipation."
He Tingchuan nodded slightly. He personally selected two large, round, and red pomegranates that he had specially reserved: "These are for you and the child; you must eat them."
When Yun Jin compared the two, she found that the one she was wearing was a size too big, and she knew that it was the best one.
Looking at the man who had been quietly kind to her, she couldn't help but press her cheek against his handsome, aloof face: "Thank you on behalf of the child!"
A soft touch swept over his face, sending a tingling sensation through him. He Tingchuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his eyes gleaming with shock, joy, excitement, tenderness, and sweetness.
Yun Jin never expected that a simple kiss would leave He Tingchuan speechless. She couldn't help but smile shyly, too embarrassed to face He Tingchuan. She took a bag of Beijing-style ox-tongue biscuits and a serving of crispy candy and went out.
He Tingchuan watched the person walk away before he realized what had happened. He touched the spot where she had kissed him to make sure it was his face.
She actually kissed herself.
He Tingchuan's heart was surging with joy, which he could hardly contain.
What does she mean?
Does it mean... you like yourself?
He Tingchuan realized this, his ears turned bright red, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and his blood boiled, making him wonder if he was dreaming.
Until Yun Jin shouted from downstairs, "Commander He, let's go!"
It was definitely her calling me; I wasn't dreaming.
He calmed his restless and joyful heart, took six pomegranates and put them in a net bag. It was his oversight that eating too many pomegranates would cause constipation in normal people.
If a pregnant woman eats too much, she will definitely get constipated.
She's right, you shouldn't eat too much.
He Tingchuan generously took two extra with him, leaving Li Aiguo to enjoy them.
If only I had known...
Knowing that He Tingchuan would bring them all back anyway, she didn't care whether she ate them or not; she had to see his sincerity.
When He Tingchuan came downstairs, Yun Jin was already chatting with the woman in the compound. She smiled when she saw him, and after he got closer and said a few words to her, she grabbed three candies and gave them to her to take back to sweeten the children's mouths.
