    “Are, are these all clothes for me and Tiantian?”


    Gu Chen nodded, “Actually, it’s nothing. After all, I’ll earn it back tomorrow.”


    As long as Ji Pianran didn’t follow him tomorrow, at worst he could sell another hundred Qinghua cabbages!


    Not to mention a thousand, he could make three thousand!


    Hearing that he really spent all the money on clothes for her and Tiantian,


    Ji Pianran felt an unbearable heartache.


    She looked at Gu Chen with a face full of guilt.


    “How about, how about we return this woolen overcoat? Although it is very pretty, for me to wear this in the village, it doesn’t seem quite right.”


    This was several hundred yuan, after all!


    This wasn’t so much wearing clothes as it was wearing money!


    She really didn’t want such expensive clothes!


    Gu Chen knew that she was feeling sorry for his hard-earned money!


    He reached out to pat her head as a form of consolation.


    “It’s okay, there’s nothing to worry about. Money can be earned. Six hundred yuan, in exchange for a smile from my wife, this deal is worthwhile!”


    Ji Pianran’s scalp tingled.


    She felt as if her head was electrified, a wave of tingling, numbing sensations spreading through it.


    Then, her eyelid twitched!


    She only realized what was happening after the fact.


    Who let him touch her head?


    Wasn’t that a bit too intimate?


    Had their relationship progressed to the point where head-patting was permissible?


    Too much!


    She pursed her rosy lips, bowed her head, and her face involuntarily flushed a slight red.


    Seeing her somewhat evasive, Gu Chen thought he had frightened Ji Pianran and hurriedly retracted his hand.


    He silently chided himself.


    “Gu Chen, oh Gu Chen, it’s only been three days. Do you already want to heal a heart that’s been wounded for three years? Why the rush!”


    At that moment, the boss came over with a bowl of egg custard and a plate of stir-fried Huacai.


    He looked at Gu Chen with a beaming smile, “Now all your dishes are served.”


    The moment Tiantian saw the egg custard, her eyes lit up!


    She loved eating eggs the most!


    Soft and bouncy, dipped a little in soy sauce.


    So delicious!


    Unbeatably tasty!


    “Tiantian’s eggs, Tiantian’s, they’re Tiantian’s!”


    The little girl fixed her gaze on the egg custard, murmuring to herself, and without realizing it, drool even began to trickle down.


    She was just extremely adorable.


    Watching his daughter, Gu Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he placed the egg custard in front of Tiantian.


    With affection, he said, “All yours, they’re all for our Tiantian.”


    After speaking, he handed the spoon to Tiantian.


    “Eat slowly. Don’t choke, okay.”


    Now knowing that there was no money left in the bag, Ji Pianran was no longer worried about someone stealing it.


    She set the cloth bag on the table and started eating boldly.


    Well, the taste of this restaurant wasn’t bad, just not as good as Gu Chen’s cooking.


    The stewed dishes Gu Chen cooked were even better than their braised ones.


    …


    After finishing the meal, Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran with a smile, “Wife, let’s pay the bill.”


    Ji Pianran was shocked.


    Her onyx-like pupils dilated slightly with surprise.


    She only brought ten yuan with her when she left the house!!!!!!


    This meal was definitely more than ten yuan.


    Didn’t that mean she couldn’t cover the cost?


    What should she do now!


    Ji Pianran looked somewhat at a loss and impulsively asked in a quiet voice.


    “I’m paying the bill?”


    Gu Chen nodded, “Yeah, there should still be three hundred yuan in your bag, right?”


    Ji Pianran: “!!!!!!”


    Who was it that said there was no money left in her cloth bag just now?


    Gu Chen didn’t mean to not tell her. He simply thought that three hundred yuan was practically nothing…


    Ji Pianran snatched the cloth bag back from the table.


    If she had known there were three hundred yuan inside, she wouldn’t have left it on the table no matter what!


    So flashy!


    Three hundred is still money, you know!


    That’s several months’ salary!


    This guy, he’s so annoying!


    Gu Chen chuckled, “I just didn’t want you to struggle eating while holding it, right?”


    Ji Pianran: “….”


    After spending over thirty on a meal, they still had two hundred and seventy left. Gu Chen took Ji Pianran to the bedding store, where they spent two hundred and sixty on two thick quilts.


    In this world, having enough food and warmth is the most important thing.


    That rigid plank bed made my bones ache!


    With these, I’ll sleep much better from now on.


    Gu Chen looked at the thick quilts, extremely satisfied in his heart.


    Of course, it wasn’t just Gu Chen who would be more comfortable, Ji Pianran would be too.


    Having bought everything, Ji Pianran clutched the remaining ten dollars in a daze.


    Now, we really spent over a thousand in one day.


    In the past, I wouldn’t have dared even dream of such a thing.


    More than a thousand dollars, how long would I have to work to earn that?


    Gu Chen smiled at her, “What’s wrong, feeling the pinch again?”


    Ji Pianran gave him a sideways glance.


    This guy, he’s only earned money for a few days, and he’s already getting carried away?


    I’m concerned about the money because I think he works so hard to earn it! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If we can save a little, he can come home earlier.


    It’s the middle of winter, and it’s so cold outside.


    I don’t want to see him standing out there in the freezing cold, shouting to sell vegetables.


    “Get out of here.”


    Ji Pianran said sulkily.


    Gu Chen laughed heartily.


    “Wife, I want to discuss something with you. I won’t come back with you later. Take Tiantian home first. I’ll carry the quilts, and I want to go check out the goji berry market.”


    Since I have the space, I can put all these things in it and then take them out at the door of our house.


    That way, Ji Pianran won’t get tired.


    It’s only a little past one now, and I really want to try and see how much I can sell my goji berries for this afternoon.


    I have to recoup today’s losses at any cost.


    I have a feeling that once I start selling my goji berries, they will definitely fetch a good price!


    This stuff is worth much more than bok choy.


    If I can save up a little, like ten thousand, I could really fix up our house.


    Don’t think that Gu Chen’s house in the countryside is old-fashioned. By the year 2000, well-off families in the countryside had already started building two-story houses.


    And we still have a small courtyard, with a modest three and a half brick-built rooms.


    If Ji Pianran and I could get our house built up.


    We’d really be able to hold our heads high in the village.


    Thinking of this, Gu Chen secretly cheered himself on


    Earn money well, as long as I can keep Ji Pianran with me, I’ll immediately build a house!


    So that my wife can hold her head high in the village!


    When Ji Pianran heard that Gu Chen was busy, she nodded obediently, “Okay, I’ll take Tiantian home first.”


    “Mhm.” Gu Chen agreed and escorted the mother and daughter to the bus station for the ride back to the village.


    The family of three waited at the bus stop.


    Ten minutes later, the green bus finally arrived.


    Just as it was about to pull up close.


    Ji Pianran turned her head to look at Gu Chen beside her, her eyes serious and worried as she cautioned him.


    “Then you be careful on your own, with the year-end approaching, things tend to get chaotic.”


    Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched, followed by a surge of joy in his heart.


    She’s caring about me again!


    The way Ji Pianran is increasingly showing concern for me day by day.


    At this rate, maybe she won’t leave, right?


    The more he thought about it, the happier he became.


    Even though he was pursing his lips, trying not to smile, the corners of his eyes and brows involuntarily showed a deep smile.


    “Alright!”


    Seeing his expression, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but become a little curious.


    “What’s going on?”


    Gu Chen opened his mouth wide, revealing a big, bright smile.


    The young man stood in the sunlight, his smile clean and pure.


    “Because I’m very happy, thank you!”
