scribe puffed on his cigarette, eyeing the bottle of Songhe Liquor with a nod.That girl even gave out candies yesterday, the little kids were delighted. She's a grateful person, keep them, it's not ag...Ning Yuan washed her hands and saw on the table a plate of garlic chives stir-fried with cured pork, a plate of pig lard stir-fried with water spinach, and a pot of red potato porridge.

"Eat." Rong Zhaonan handed her chopsticks. Ning Yuan took the bowl and chopsticks, scooping up a few bites of food.

Garlic sprouts and water spinach are stir-fried very tender, garlic chives and preserved pork are very fragrant.

She couldn't help but sigh: "You cook really well, I thought you wouldn't be able to cook."

She usually takes care of cooking, while he is responsible for cleaning the stove and washing dishes.

Rong Zhaonan looked at her satisfied expression as she ate, tugged the corner of his lips: “Learned from the head chef in the cooking squad when I was in the army. That chef used to be the head chef at Jiangnan Huibin Building.”

He can be quite picky about food, but in the army and during this time period, being able to eat your fill is already a good thing.

Ning Yuan suddenly remembered something, quickly got up and opened her back basket. She took out something wrapped in oiled paper from inside.

She opened the oiled paper, revealing half a roasted chicken inside: "So busy fighting and eating that I almost forgot, I bought this in the county town. It's still warm, eat up quickly."

Rong Zhaonan looked at the fragrant roasted chicken and then at Xiang Ningyuan: "It seems like the cured pork is selling well today."

Otherwise, how could Xiao Tezhu afford to buy roast chicken

Ning Yuan immediately took out her purse and placed it on the table. "Forty yuan plus twenty-five kilograms of national ration tickets, five kilograms of provincial ration tickets, and five kilograms of snack tickets!"

Besides the previous twenty-two jin of grain ration coupons, twelve yards of cloth coupons, and five jin of oil coupons, plus one jin of snack coupons, she now had quite a lot at her disposal.

Now she’s living the good life, singing like a liberated peasant! She's considered upper-middle class in the village now and doesn't have to worry about scraping by like she did during her time as a sent-down youth.

She's not afraid that her living expenses will be cut off at home!

"I used some of the tickets to buy twenty kilograms of grain and half a roast chicken, as well as some soda crackers. Now we can at least have a big bowl of rice once a week." Ning Yuan smiled with her big eyes curved, feeling incredibly touched.

She eats sweet potato porridge every day, she's sick of it and keeps farting.

Now at least the staple food has improved, and although soda crackers are not as delicious as Shanghai Wannianqing biscuits, they are also considered high-end snacks nowadays.

Occasionally, I use it to fill my stomach in a pinch, it's very convenient.

Rong Zhaonan looked at the national food stamps, thoughtfully: "Where did you exchange these national food stamps, the black market"

This thing can only be obtained by formal employees on business trips, and not many people have it.

Ning Yuan shook her head, eating while feeling a bit smug. "I found a good lead. We can sell our cured pork to the county guest house from now on. The tickets are given by the people at the guest house."

Rong Zhaonan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise: "You still have this ability."

Ning Yuan thrust out her chest and glared. "Hmph... Rong Zhao'nan, you underestimate me! What do you mean I still have this ability Women can hold up half the sky!"

Rong Zhaonan pressed his glasses and curved his thin lips: "Yes, Ning Yuan Tongzhi is right. I'm not as enlightened."

Ning Yuan couldn't hold back her laughter, holding the bowl as she burst out laughing: "Puchi, I didn't expect Rong Zhao Nan to be so humorous."

Even when Rong was young, he wasn't always cold, aloof, and hard to get close to.

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and took off Rong Zhaonan's glasses: "Don't wear these glasses, one of the lenses is broken. Be careful, the glass might poke your eyes. I'll buy you a new pair when I go into town next time."

He gets half of the money earned!

Rong Zhao'nan was taken aback, only feeling her slender fingers graze his cheek accidentally, taking off his glasses.

The girl's tone and smile made him almost feel a strange illusion, as if they were truly a real young couple.

Rong Zhaonan picked up his bowl and chopsticks, saying nonchalantly, "It's fine, I don't have nearsightedness."

Ning Yuan was stunned. Looking at the broken glasses in her hand, she realized that it was actually a plain mirror.

She suddenly understood, this pair of glasses was truly just a tool he used to conceal himself.

Ning Yuan looked at the wounds on his face and suddenly asked, "You could have dodged them, why didn't you" mean" Rong Zhaonan sneered, his eyes narrowing dangerously.He was often ridiculed for his androgynous features since he was a child.Even some people say he's like those vicious con artists from old S...
