Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

When Sister Song left, Bai Jing wrote down a list of medicinal herbs for her and left the town's address. If nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be back for a while.

Therefore, it's better to send the medicinal herbs over.

There's no need to linger any longer because of the medicinal herbs.

Taking the basin and towel she handed him, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I'll help you carry the water to the bathroom." There's a separate bathroom in the courtyard, "I'll just shower in the yard."

Bai Jing had known him for so long and knew his habits. "Okay, but you can't use cold water. You're not fully recovered yet."

"Yes, use hot water."

Although spring is warmer than winter, the nights are still chilly. Jiang Chen hadn't fully recovered, so Bai Jing couldn't let him take a cold shower.

After washing up, the two went back to their respective rooms to rest.

The next morning, it packed its things and went out, locking the door with an iron gate, waiting for its owner to return.

Since they hadn't eaten breakfast, the two went to a state-run restaurant and bought some steamed buns. They also filled their own kettles with soy milk.

They ate as they walked, and because of their striking good looks, they attracted a lot of attention.

After arriving at the bus station, boarding the bus, and finding a seat, Bai Jing leaned on Jiang Chen's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

Unbeknownst to them, not long after they left home, a figure came alone to search for them.

Seeing the iron gate, tears welled up in her eyes.

It was none other than Wei Huixin. She went back and thought about it again and again, but she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for herself one more time.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't even meet Jiang Chen, let alone express her feelings.

In the end, she could only go to work crying.

Jiang Chen and Bai Jing knew nothing about this, and even if they did, Jiang Chen wouldn't give her a kind look.

Bai Jing would never give a friendly look to someone who is hostile to her.

Back in Hongyan Town, Bai Jing felt a sense of familiarity as soon as her feet touched the ground. "It's always been good to be home."

Jiang Chen smiled and obediently helped her carry the things. "Come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for my parents, brothers and sisters. It's our first time visiting, so we can't go empty-handed."

"No need, we've already bought enough. We don't need anything else at home, so don't waste this money." In Bai Jing's mind, Jiang Chen's money was all in her hands, and buying things that he didn't need was just for show and didn't serve any real purpose.

"No." But to her surprise, Jiang Chen refused outright. He said quietly, "This is my first formal visit. How can I bring these things? It's not formal."

Jiang Chen cares a lot about this.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jing had no choice but to take him to the supply and marketing cooperative near his home.

Anyway, the things I need to buy are just cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and the like.

You can buy them there.

"Okay, it's up to you."

At the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, now that it's not a holiday, there aren't many people buying things inside. Apart from buying daily necessities, there are just some people browsing around.

Bai Jing led him straight to the second floor.

The cigarettes and alcohol are on the second floor.

Jiang Chen glanced at the cigarettes and alcohol in the cabinet, then told the salesperson the types and quantities of cigarettes and alcohol, and took out his money from his pocket.

He was in the military and had some special supply tickets.

They weren't worried that what they said they could buy wouldn't be available. The sales clerk glanced at the two of them, quietly took the items down, and then announced the amount of money.

After counting out the money, Jiang Chen picked up the things the sales clerk had bundled up for him and asked Bai Jing beside him with a smile, "Is there anything you want to buy?"

Since her family's financial situation improved, Bai Jing has never skimped on herself. She never lacks anything for herself or her family, so naturally, she has nothing to buy.

"No need, we have everything we need at home. Come on, let's go downstairs."

When Jiang Chen saw her say that, he looked at her again and found that she really didn't need anything. "Okay, let's go buy some more eight-cake and brown sugar and then go back."

Eight cakes are a custom in City A, and are the things that a man should bring when he visits a woman's home for the first time.

Although he didn't have all his elders, Jiang Chen still understood the rules.

Bai Jing blushed slightly, knowing what he meant by bringing eight kinds of cakes to their door. "Okay."

They went downstairs and bought eight kinds of cakes and five catties of brown sugar. Their hands were full, and then they really went home.

Although my parents weren't home and my younger siblings were all at school, the rules couldn't be broken.

Back at the Bai family compound, Jiang Chen felt uneasy, even though it wasn't his first time there. He remembered what he had said the first time he came.

Bai Jing didn't think much of it and led him into the main room, putting his things down. "You must be tired from the journey. Go and rest in your younger brother's room. I'll go and call my mother back." When her boyfriend comes to visit, there should be an adult to receive him.

Jiang Chen understood what she meant and didn't refuse. He was indeed a little tired and his head was spinning. "Okay."

My home is not far from the police station. Just walk out of the alley and down to the main street, and the police station is right there. It doesn't take much time to go back and forth.

Because there were people she was worried about at home, she didn't go to the front of the house, but went straight to the kitchen.

It was almost lunchtime, and some people had already come over to eat. Those who knew Bai Jing would greet her, but seeing that she was in a hurry, they didn't bother her with any questions.

Bai Jing arrived at the kitchen smoothly and saw her mother wearing an apron, busy at work.

"Mother!" she called out as she ran toward her mother with a smile.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Luo Chunhua immediately looked up and spotted her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for over a month.

"You brat, you finally decided to come back! I thought you were staying over there." Though she complained, she was still very happy to see her daughter return home. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have come to pick you up."

"No need, it's not like I can't find my way home. Mom, we have guests, can I ask for leave?" Bai Jing came to her mother's side and said softly.

"Is that Xiao Jiang?"

Bai Jing nodded: "Yes, I brought eight kinds of cakes."

Upon hearing that she was being asked to bring eight kinds of cakes, Luo Chunhua lost all interest in her work and immediately shouted loudly to the busy chef, "Master chef, master chef, my daughter is back. I'm asking for leave this afternoon."

Although the master chef was busy, he still had his apprentices with him. Looking up, he immediately spotted Bai Jing. He knew this girl well.

"Oh, it's Xiaojing back. She should go back now. Okay, you can go now. I'll have Sister Ma come and take over in a bit." The head chef handed the large ladle in his hand to his apprentice, whispered some instructions in his ear, and then walked towards the mother and daughter.

"You look good. It seems you didn't suffer much on this trip. Your mother can rest assured now."

"Hello, Master Chef. I'm sorry, we have guests at home, and it's not easy for me to entertain them all by myself. That's why I came to find my mother." Bai Jing had a good impression of the master chef and had treated him to extra meals quite often.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm not busy lately. Alright, take your mother back. Let Aunt Ma do these things." Aunt Ma was the head chef's wife, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all when he was being asked to do things.

"Okay, then thank you, Master Chef and Aunt Ma."

Luo Chunhua took off her apron. "I'll ask for an extra day off tomorrow." She thought of Ba Gao and decided to ask for another day off. (End of Chapter)
