I didn’t expect this cheap fiancé to be so innocent, he even blushes when holding hands.
“Thank you, Brother Su, otherwise I would have fallen just now.”
Ye Linlin picked up the clothes that were packed on the counter, thanking him as she walked out.
Su Chenhuai took the clothes from her and carried them himself, casually “hmm”-ed and strode ahead.
“Brother, is he always so aloof?”
Ye Linlin was whispering to Ye Cheng again.
“Yeah, poor my sister, she has to face such an ice block every day in the future, but he’s a very good person, he saved your brother and me several times before, and he can be considered my lifesaver. You can think of it as you marrying him on behalf of your brother.”
“Brother, I never heard you say you had a bonus! Do Mom and Dad know?”
“Of course they know, Mom and Dad told me to keep it for myself to spend, I didn’t even want to spend it and saved it up, otherwise what would I use to buy you food, clothes, and a watch? You even borrowed it and lost it, you little ingrate.”
The two were chatting and laughing behind him, and Su Chenhuai walked ahead a little helplessly. His hearing was very good, could these two please stop discussing him behind his back?
The three returned to Su Chenhuai’s restaurant at about 3:00 PM. There were still not many customers in the restaurant, it was too deserted compared to the state-owned restaurant. This time, except for Zhang Jianjun, who was busy in the kitchen, the other three were in the store.
Su Chenhuai introduced them again.
Although Wu Dayong and Wang Wu had heard from Liu Yan that the boss was getting married, and Liu Yan said that the future sister-in-law was more beautiful than the actresses in the pictorials, they were still a little shocked when they saw her in person, and quickly called out “Sister-in-law.”
Ye Cheng exchanged a few pleasantries with the two, and the three came to the backyard.
Su Chenhuai suggested eating here before leaving, and letting the two ride their bikes back. There were two bicycles in the store.
However, Ye Linlin refused. She was planning to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, and besides, the two of them had too many things to take, so it was inconvenient to ride a bike.
Grandpa Zhang’s ox cart returned from the township to Dayu Village at 4:00 PM. The ox cart was parked outside the township supply and marketing cooperative.
It was almost 3:30 PM when Ye Linlin and Ye Cheng arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ye Linlin threw the things she bought to Ye Cheng, asked him for all kinds of tickets, told him that she was going to go into the supply and marketing cooperative to look around, and asked Ye Cheng to wait for her here.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Ye Linlin first bought herself toothpaste, a toothbrush, and some daily necessities.
Although the previous toiletries were also used by this body, she still couldn’t accept it, so she simply bought new ones.
After buying the daily necessities, Ye Linlin came to the place where seeds were sold. She wanted to buy some seeds to plant in the space, so that she could determine the suitable crops for the space by planting different plants.
After buying the things, she returned to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. It wasn’t time yet, so she carefully observed the township in this era. Although the original owner had memories of the township, it was still different to be there in person.
The buildings on the road were mostly bungalows, with a few scattered two-story buildings.
Both sides of the street were individual vendors selling goods. They sold everything, and they would shout out a few times when someone passed by.
Although in this era, most people felt that being an individual vendor was a bit embarrassing, they couldn’t deny that the income of individual vendors was high. Moreover, privately-owned things were generally cheaper and more popular, so more and more people were becoming individual vendors.
Ye Linlin’s attention was attracted by a small stall selling books next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
“Brother, I’m going to take a look over there. There are too many things, so you can just wait for me here.”
Coming to the book stall, Ye Linlin lowered her head and looked for something.
“Girl, what kind of book do you want to buy? I also have clothing patterns and knitting charts, as well as comic books, all of which I brought from the Xincheng Bookstore in the county.”
The stall owner was a young man, and seeing that Ye Linlin was beautiful, he couldn’t help but talk more.
“Big brother, do you have English dictionaries and foreign novels?”
Ye Linlin lowered her head and looked for a while, and when she heard the stall owner’s words, she casually asked.
“Oh, girl, I don’t have that, but I know that Xincheng Bookstore sells them. If you want them, I can bring you a set next time, but you have to pay first.”
The stall owner rubbed his hands and tentatively replied. He had helped many people bring books before, but they were all old customers. He didn’t know if this beautiful female comrade would trust him.
“Thank you, I’m just asking. How much is this Popular Cookbook?”
When she went to Su Chenhuai’s store to get things just now, Ye Linlin found that there were several English original novels in his bookcase. She suddenly thought of a way to make money.
Translating foreign novels!
She had done this job in her previous life, but she didn’t know much about this era, so this matter needed to be considered in the long term.
She happened to see someone selling books at this time, so she asked casually.
“This book is 50 cents.”
The stall owner was not surprised by Ye Linlin’s answer. After all, it was her first time here, so she was definitely worried that he wouldn’t acknowledge the money if she paid first.
Ye Linlin also asked for a few recent newspapers. After paying, Ye Linlin returned to Ye Cheng with the book and newspapers.
“Why did you buy a cookbook? Don’t you know how to cook?”
Ye Cheng had just seen Ye Linlin at the book stall and thought she was going to buy comic books, but she came back with a cookbook and a few newspapers.
Hearing Ye Cheng’s question, Ye Linlin was also a little speechless. The original owner was the little princess of the family. Her mother had taught her how to cook, but she didn’t have much talent and was too lazy to learn, which led to her being 20 years old in this era and still not knowing how to cook.
Ye Linlin was a foodie who liked to cook. In her previous life, in order to find a good chef for her homestay, she interviewed dozens of chefs.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and she really found one. This chef’s surname was Huang, and his ancestors were imperial chefs. He cooked excellent dishes and was proficient in all major cuisines.
When Chef Huang had been working at the homestay for almost a year, his son suddenly developed leukemia, which almost cost him all of his savings.
Later, he needed a bone marrow transplant, and Ye Linlin and the homestay staff all did matching tests. Unexpectedly, she really matched successfully.
Ye Linlin then donated bone marrow for Chef Huang’s son and helped him pay for the surgery.
Chef Huang felt that he had nothing to repay Ye Linlin with. Knowing that she liked to cook, he taught her hand-in-hand, and even taught her the method of making his family’s secret seasoning.
In her memory, the food that her mother made, although not unpalatable, could not really be called delicious. For her own appetite, Ye Linlin decided to take on the responsibility of cooking.
She bought the cookbook just to make a show, otherwise there would be no way to explain her sudden improvement in cooking skills.
“I’m getting married, and I can’t always not know how to cook. Mom usually has a lot of work to do, so I can learn by myself by reading this book.”
Nodding, Ye Cheng agreed with Ye Linlin’s words, and then pointed to the newspaper in Ye Linlin’s hand.
“Is this today’s newspaper?”
He had a habit of reading the newspaper in the army. After all, the main channel for obtaining all kinds of information in this era was through newspapers.
