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

Chapter 211 Taking Office in City A

The child was practicing walking in the main room. As soon as he saw someone come in, he immediately called out "Mama, Mama!" and came forward to greet them.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by the threshold of the main room.

"Hug, hug, hug Duoduo!" The little guy drooled as he called out for his mother to hug him.

Nan Lichen picked up the little boy and held him in his arms. "You brat, look at how slovenly you are. Be careful, or no one will want to play with you in the future."

Nan Lichen's son is already a year and a half old, in the stage of learning to speak and walk, so of course he understands what his father is saying.

"Yes, yes, little sister can play."

"You brat." Nan Lichen slapped his son's bottom speechlessly.

The food on the table was still hot, which showed that Xiao Xue had prepared it after Nan Lichen left.

"Sister Xiao, thank you so much!" Bai Jing was extremely satisfied to be able to eat a hot meal as soon as she got off the car.

"No need to thank me. Are you hungry? Let's eat first, and then we can talk."

They still couldn't chat after dinner, and it was getting late. They still had to pack up when they got home, so Nan Lichen drove them home directly.

Back in the courtyard in City A, Bai Jing was surprised to see that it had been tidied up. "Did you have this tidied up?" she asked Jiang Chen beside her, puzzled.

Jiang Chen smiled and explained, "When they came back last time, I gave the key to Li Chen and told him that it was done by someone else."

Bai Jing was very pleased with his thoughtfulness, so she smiled and stepped forward, giving Jiang Chen a big kiss on the cheek.

"It's your reward."

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with her reward and also liked the surprises she brought him from time to time.

"Keep it up." Bai Jing picked up her luggage and went back to her room to pack.

Although the two are engaged, they haven't registered their marriage yet, so there are some things they naturally can't do.

Jiang Chen, standing behind her, looked on with doting eyes and said, "I'll go boil some water. Come out and take a shower when you're all ready." He didn't forget to call out to her retreating figure.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Although the two had lived together for a long time, the occasional little surprises kept them in a state of extreme excitement.

Perhaps this is the beauty of being in love.

They slept soundly without any dreams. The next morning, the two went out early to buy daily necessities, as they were going to stay for an extended period and the supplies they had prepared were naturally insufficient.

Besides, Jiang Chen didn't want to make Bai Jing feel wronged; he naturally wanted to provide her with what others had.

Although City A is not as good as City Luzhou and City B, it still has many of the necessary amenities.

Even the Friendship Store is a four-story building.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't let Bai Jing suffer any injustice, so he took her to the Friendship Store, the most bustling and well-equipped store in City A, to buy daily necessities.

"I didn't expect to find bedding here. How come I didn't know that before?" Bai Jing discovered something unexpected when she arrived on the second floor.

The four-piece bedding set was something she remembered only existing in the early 1990s, but now, only 1970s, she couldn't believe that Friendship Store already had it.

"I didn't know that before either. Do you like it?" Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the items displayed inside. He knew that these were all bedding items. "If you like them, you can buy a few more sets."

Bai Jing naturally liked it, "Okay, let's go pick one out."

Perhaps her shopping desires were aroused, Bai Jing bought a lot of things, and Jiang Chen naturally provided her with a bicycle and other items as well.

Now I don't have to worry about not being able to bring back all the things I buy.

The two strolled around until noon, but instead of rushing back, they went straight to the state-run restaurant across the street and ordered a delicious meal to treat themselves.

"When do you plan to start work?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask her about starting work during lunch.

Bai Jing thought for a moment, "The day after tomorrow, then." She didn't have much time, and she couldn't keep avoiding reporting indefinitely. The deputy city lord had summoned them quite urgently; she wondered if some major event had occurred.

She still had something on her mind about what happened in the army last time, and she didn't know what the outcome was.

Unfortunately, she wasn't part of the military and couldn't find out what happened next.

"What about you? Has the army been urging you?" It's been several months, and Xin Jiangchen has received several letters, all sent by Leader Shu.

I don't know how much longer he can stay with me.

Jiang Chen picked up a piece of braised pork for her. "I didn't rush you, but the research institute has a project they want me to lead, so I might go back early."

He also had another identity. He wanted to spend more time with her, but he couldn't resist writing and submitting a lot of reports. Now, the leader had entrusted him with an important task.

Sigh, if only he hadn't been in such a hurry, he could have packed everything up and handed it in when he got back.

"So when are you leaving?" Bai Jing's braised pork suddenly lost its flavor. "How much longer can you stay?"

Seeing the disappointment on her face, Jiang Chen smiled indulgently, "Not so fast, let's eat first, and we'll talk when we get back."

"Oh fine."

After lunch, there were still some leftovers, so Bai Jing bought a lunchbox at the store to pack them up and take them home.

Back home, after tidying up, Bai Jing asked about Jiang Chen's return to the team.

“When I was in the army, my superiors told me about your other role. Is it good for you to work on both? Your health isn’t what it used to be. Have you ever thought about choosing only one?”

Her main concern was that he would take on another dangerous mission. She was selfish and naturally didn't want her lover to be on the front lines of danger. If she had a choice, she would of course prioritize his safety.

Her thoughts were written all over her face, and Jiang Chen saw right through her. "So which one do you think I should choose?" He had naturally considered it as well.

He used to be single and didn't care about these things, always thinking about doing as much as he could. But now it's different; he has a lover and will have children in the future.

He wanted to leave his life to them.

Bai Jing glared at him. "Is it appropriate for you to ask me?" She pouted and added, "If I had to choose, I would naturally want you to be safe and healthy, but can your two jobs provide that?"

How come this person became stupid after their brain was developed?
Jiang Chen looked helpless. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. The past is the past, and the future is the future. Now I have you, and we'll have children in the future. I'll leave my life to you."

He himself was a person who lacked love, but he didn't want his children to lack love as well.

Therefore, he had already made up his mind that serving the country did not necessarily mean going to the battlefield; he could also serve the country from the rear.

He plans to focus his research on weapons.

But I can't tell her about this.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you. Otherwise, I would have taken your money and children and married another man. I wouldn't let you rest in peace even after I died."

Bai Jing's words were infuriating, and sure enough, she angered Jiang Chen.

"you dare."

He stepped forward, hugged her, and pinched her chin. "You can only belong to me for the rest of your life. If you dare to think about other men, you're dreaming." After saying that, he kissed her.

Luckily, no one was home, otherwise it wouldn't have been so convenient for the two of them.

In the afternoon, the two went to buy groceries again, and the yard finally felt like home.

Jiang Chen was enjoying himself, but he was a little anxious and just wanted his Xiao Jing to reach the age to get a marriage certificate as soon as possible.

Although it's normal for people to get married at seventeen or eighteen these days, he didn't want to hurt her.

Let's wait until she's twenty; he can wait.

He's only six or seven years older, but he's endured so many years of hardship, and he can endure just as much now.

After another day of leisure at home, Bai Jing rode the bicycle Jiang Chen bought for her to report to the government in City A.
