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

Chapter 223 A Simple Life is a Blessing

“I’m really fine. I know my body. Xiaojing, but even so, I’m still worried. I’m already so happy that you’re here with me. I don’t need any glory. With you, I am my light.”

"Of course I wanted to get married, I've always been thinking about it. I've been working on projects for the past two years, just wanting to come back and see you as soon as possible, but I never expected it to turn out like this." Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile, "I never expected it to end up like this."

"Xiaojing, even if you think I'm being selfish, I still don't want you to leave me, even though I'm blind. Xiaojing, please don't leave me."

"Don't worry, I won't leave, and I won't leave." Seeing his anxious and regretful look, Bai Jing felt very sorry for him.

"Xiao Jing." Jiang Chen hugged her tightly, as if it were etched into his bones, and kept saying that he would definitely cooperate with the treatment and recover soon.

···
Jiang Chen's return disrupted Bai Jing's original plans, but ultimately, it all came to an end.

ANBU.

Director Zhou's office.

"What did you say? Say it again." Director Zhou's eyes reddened with anger.

He never expected that Bai Jing came over just to tell him that she wanted to resign.

Bai Jing calmly repeated her request again.

"Director Zhou, please say yes." Bai Jing was afraid to look Director Zhou in the eye.

"Hmph, I can't make that decision. Don't you even know who specially recruited you?" City Lord, you can't let such a promising talent slip away.

Director Zhou placed his hopes on the city lord.

"If you really want to resign, then go find the city lord. As long as the city lord agrees, I will also give you a resignation certificate."

Well, now that his two main forces in the secret service are leaving, what has he done to deserve this?

He had been mentally prepared for Lin Huayu's departure, but he still wanted to groom Bai Jing to be his successor.

She, on the other hand, wants to return to her family because her partner is injured.

He couldn't say she was wrong; as human beings, everyone should prioritize their own well-being. But he wanted her to serve the country and its people even more.

But he can't impose his own ideas on others.

Bai Jing was met with a cold shoulder; unable to resign, she could only obediently work one day before going home.

A few days later, after her and Lin Huayu's medal-receiving ceremony, it was time for Captain Lin to leave.

Bai Jing invited him to her home for a meal.

In Captain Lin's words, he's a cheapskate; he can't even afford to treat him to a good meal.

However, he was still very happy that she invited him to her home.

Team Leader Lin also met Jiang Chen.

When he saw that Jiang Chen was accompanied by a bodyguard, he was shocked. This man looked younger than him, but his achievements were no less than his own.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, the two said what needed to be said, and after discovering that they had several mutual friends, their relationship became a little closer.

After all, the camaraderie between soldiers is different from that between ordinary friends.

Those were friends forged in life and death; their friendship surpassed even kinship.

Bai Jing was very happy that the two could get along, after all, she would be relying on Captain Lin's coattails in the future.

"When you get back, you must work hard and do your best to become my right-hand man. If I ever need anything, just mentioning your name will solve everything."

Bai Jing's shameless words came out so naturally.

Hearing her words, Lin Huayu was so angry he wanted to bite someone.

"Do you think I'm a dog? Trying to settle things? You should be grateful if you don't cause trouble." This girl is underestimating her own power.

Now in City A, everyone in the government office knows her; her face is more useful than anyone else's.

Being disliked by her boss in front of outsiders still made Bai Jing blush a little.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could someone as well-behaved as me cause trouble? Captain Lin, don't ruin my reputation." Bai Jing glared at him, as if to say, "If you dare say another word, I'll bite you."

"Heh, can't tell the difference between the king and the king anymore, huh? You dare to challenge me? I haven't taught you enough lessons, have I? How about we have a go?"

Bai Jing chickened out.

"No, no, no need. I am the little king, you are the king. The king, you eat braised pork."

This was the first time Jiang Chen had seen this side of his wife, and the smile on his face never stopped.

However, he was also curious about Captain Lin's fighting skills, and if given the chance, he would definitely have a match next time.

"You know the truth."

After the playful fighting came the sorrow of parting.

"I suggest you don't leave your job for the next year or two. I've heard that the Dark Division might be merged into a special department. Your abilities are somewhat special, and I think that would be beneficial to you when the merger happens."

She always likes to say she's clinging to someone's coattails, but isn't she herself a powerful figure in that situation?

"How come I didn't know?" Bai Jing was taken aback. "Besides, what special ability do I have?" she asked, puzzled.

"Good luck," Team Leader Lin uttered softly.

Bai Jing understood now.

But that wasn't good luck; it was her cheat code.

Bai Jing rolled her eyes. "That's because I'm meticulous. You just won't admit that I'm capable, so you attribute it to good luck." She firmly refused to admit it.

Lin Huayu was too lazy to argue with her. "Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone." Although there was some turmoil now, it would eventually come to an end.

There are some things he can't say outright, but he also wants his friends, whom he respects, to have a better future.

"With your contributions, you'll likely be in a high position when the merger happens." It's better to rely on yourself than on others.

"let me think again."

Jiang Chen's eyes haven't healed yet, and he won't be returning to the army anytime soon. In that case, she's happy to stay in City A a little longer, since her family is all here.

"Alright, remember to give me ten catties of medicinal wine every year. If you dare to shortchange me, see how I deal with you." Having eaten and drunk his fill, it was time for him to leave.

Bai Jing rolled her eyes at him. "You talk as if you can drink in the army." This guy, he's already eyeing her things before he's even left.

"I may not be able to drink, but that's no excuse for you to shortchange me. Bai Jing, let me tell you, if you dare to send me less, I'll teach you a lesson."

After saying that, he took out an envelope with an address and phone number written on it. "This is my home address and phone number."

Bai Jing took it and smiled, "Okay, I won't skimp on your wine, but remember to buy me more herbs when you run out, after all, those herbs aren't cheap."

Lin Huayu was furious. "You heartless bastard, have you forgotten how many favors I've done for those medicinal herbs?"

That ingrate! He should have just embezzled some money himself back then.

They sent the person off amidst playful banter.

When she returned, Jiang Chen could hear the disappointment in her voice.

"It's okay, we'll see each other again." Friends are friends no matter how far apart we are.

"Yeah, I know, it's just that I'm not used to it." With Team Leader Lin gone and she not resigning, Team Five became her responsibility, which she didn't want to take on.

Whether she likes it or not, she's determined to shoulder this responsibility.

After seeing that Bai Jing no longer mentioned leaving the company, Director Zhou gradually felt at ease.

Zhou started assigning tasks to Bai Jing, but she dared not accept them. Jiang Chen was at home, and she couldn't bear to leave him alone. So she refused Zhou's mission to go out and only wanted to stabilize the rear. Zhou had no objection to this; he didn't want to go against Bai Jing's wishes unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Chen's eyes were a serious problem, and Bai Jing dared not delay any longer. After taking two days off, she took him to see Director Liu.

After a series of examinations, Director Liu prescribed Jiang Chen a two-week course of medication. He still had to continue taking the health-preserving pills he had been taking before, and he couldn't stop taking that medication. Fortunately, there was hope for a cure, and Jiang Chen cooperated very well.

Wang Zhongping stayed, and Bai Jing still needed someone at home while she was at work.

However, when the news of a cure reached the unit, the senior leaders were very happy.

Jiang Chen's discharge application was ultimately not submitted; Bai Jing said he could reconsider.

Life became mundane, but in their hearts, this kind of life was beautiful, at least it was the kind of life they liked.

"I don't have anything to do today. I'll go arrange my work and come back. Sister Xiao Xue invited us to her house for dinner, so we can go buy some gifts together."

Before leaving home in the morning, Bai Jing told Jiang Chen, "Be a good girl and stay home to take your medicine. You need to go for a check-up in a few days. You don't want Director Liu to nag you, do you?"

Last time they went back to town, they didn't go back, but this time, they plan to go home, mainly to talk about the wedding.

Jiang Chen has no relatives left, so the wedding will naturally be held at the woman's home.

Jiang Chen had no objection to this, but since he was now blind, he was a little afraid that his parents would not agree to the marriage.

However, he didn't tell Bai Jing about these concerns; he believed he could handle it himself.

"I understand, I will cooperate with the treatment. I'm still looking forward to marrying you." Director Liu had said that as long as it's well controlled, his illness could actually be cured within a few months.

He wasn't in a hurry, not at all. As long as he was by her side, he wasn't worried about anything.

"Good to know. Okay, I've finished eating. If you're bored, have Xiao Wang push you out for a walk." Afraid that he would always stay at home, Bai Jing couldn't help but speak up.

"it is good."

Bai Jing went to work.

There were only him and Wang Zhongping at home.

After breakfast, Jiang Chen asked Wang Zhongping to take him out for a walk for the first time. The weather was nice, and a walk would be good.

Wang Zhongping was the happiest. He had been with Jiang Gong for so long, and this was the first time he had seen him so relaxed.

As soon as she arrived at work, Bai Jing gathered the team from Group Five and began to assign some routine tasks.

The members had gotten used to Lin leaving and Bai taking over.

They were all people who had gone through thick and thin with her, and they could all understand Bai Jing's current situation.

"Captain, Zhou Yang from Team One wants to borrow some people from us. Do you think we should agree to this?" The member of Team Five, who was in charge of external communication, reported this matter after the captain finished speaking about the important business.

Bai Jing had long wanted to distribute the members of Group 5 to other groups, and now that she had this opportunity, she naturally wouldn't stop it.

"Sure, ask him how many people he needs, and see who in your group is available. Anyone who wants to go can sign up." Although their group of five was only formed a few years ago, each member is incredibly capable.

It's normal to be targeted by others.

"By the way, take a look at my notes on interrogation techniques when you have time. They'll be very useful to you all in the future." She was never a stingy person, and since acquiring the interrogation skills, she had been intentionally or unintentionally sharing them with everyone.

While not everyone in their group is a grandmaster, at least in the area of ​​interrogation, their fifth group is unmatched.

Even when Lin Huayu left, he made several copies and took them with him.

"Yes, Captain, everyone is learning." Upon hearing the captain's words, everyone responded in unison.

"That's good. I'll head back now. If you need anything, you can come to my house."

Bai Jing left work in less than two hours.

However, he ran into Shao Qing when he was leaving.

"Hey, it's not easy to meet someone as busy as you. Going back to be with Jiang Chen so early?" Seeing Bai Jing, Shao Qing was happy, and he couldn't help but chatter.

"Come on, you're too busy. Hmm, I'm afraid he won't be used to it, so I'd better spend more time with him." Bai Jing didn't take his teasing to heart and answered naturally.

"We're going to Sister Xiao Xue's house for dinner tonight, so don't be late. I brought the medicinal wine I brewed last time. Don't blame me if Nan Lichen hides it."

After getting to know each other better, she became more and more comfortable with Jiang Chen's friends.

Naturally, everyone got along very well, even closer than blood brothers.

"I'm sure I won't be late."

After saying goodbye, Bai Jing went home, but Jiang Chen hadn't arrived home yet when she got back.

It was obvious that Wang Zhongping had taken him out for a stroll. She was happy, at least he wasn't averse to being around strangers.

With noon fast approaching, she went into the kitchen. It had been a long time since she had cooked, and she was going to show off her skills today.

When Jiang Chen and Wang Zhongping returned, smoke was already billowing from the kitchen exhaust fan, indicating that someone had come home.

"Jiang Gong, Comrade Bai Jing is back and is cooking." Wang Zhongping smiled as he pushed open the door and reported to Jiang Chen, who was sitting down.

"Really? No wonder I smelled something fragrant."

Wang Zhongping didn't believe it, so he took a deep breath, but there was no smell.

However, he didn't want to contradict him, so he just smiled and pushed the person home.

Bai Jing, who was in the kitchen, didn't hear the commotion in the yard, as she was busy at the time.

She was busy brewing medicine for Jiang Chen while stir-frying vegetables in a pot.

She didn't realize Jiang Chen was back until he reached the kitchen door.

"You're back! How was your stroll?" Bai Jing teased with a smile.

Although he couldn't see her, he could hear her happiness.

"Hmm, that's great. What delicious food are you making today? I can already smell the aroma."

Bai Jing blanched a piece of meat from the pot, put it in a bowl, and held it in front of him. "Open your mouth."

Jiang Chen obediently opened his mouth, only to find a piece of meat stuffed inside. After chewing it, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Beef, where did you get that?"

These days, beef is very precious, and it's quite difficult to get a meal of beef.

"On my way back, I went to the black market and made an unexpected discovery." Bai Jing's tone was filled with pride.

It's as if it's asking, "Am I lucky?"

"We're in for a treat today."

"Alright, go and rest for a bit. The food will be ready soon."

The three of them had a delicious lunch. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, so after resting for a while, she personally took Jiang Chen to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There weren't many things to buy. Wang Zhongping usually took care of all the food, so the family had everything they needed. Although it was a visit, there were some things the Nan family didn't need either.

Bai Jing then set her sights on the child's toys.

I bought some for Duoduo and some for Lele too; I can't favor one over the other.

She likes both little ones very much.

After Jiang Chen finished carrying a lot of things, Bai Jing pushed him back.

As they passed through the alley, they ran into some neighbors. Everyone felt sorry for Jiang Chen, and seeing Bai Jing's unwavering support, they grew to like her even more.
