The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.
Chapter 136 The Beautiful Village Girl Who Impersonated Someone Else (19)
The military unit has a special mailroom. When Chang Ning went there, she found two large packages belonging to her. They arranged for someone to help her deliver them home.
The young man was very kind and helped her carry the things back. When they arrived, he asked her, "Sister-in-law, where should we put these things?"
Chang Ning said it would be fine to leave it in the main room, and then gave him two more apples. The young man couldn't refuse, so he eventually took them and left.
Those two packages weighed several dozen kilograms together, and the journey here must have been quite arduous. This was something her mother taught her: it's never wrong to be polite.
Yan Shuqin's original intention was for her to be more polite and charming to people, but Chang Ning felt that giving her gifts would be more practical!
Before she left, her mother gave her three hundred yuan and deposited another thousand yuan in the bank for her. She repeatedly told her not to spend money extravagantly and to learn to manage her finances, as there would be plenty of expenses in the future.
But after arriving here, Jiang Linghan gave her his savings book, which contained nearly five thousand yuan!
This is what getting rich overnight looks like.
The only downside was that the location was somewhat remote. Although there was a supply and marketing cooperative, the supply of goods was limited, mostly daily necessities. The nearest town was the place where they got off the train on their way here, and it took an hour to get there by car.
Family members usually hitch a ride with the military when they go out to make purchases.
Chang Ning opened the package. One of the packages was from Yan Shuqin. Inside were her clothes, blankets, food, and other necessities, including the seafood that Chang Bo had brought back last time, some mushrooms and dried vegetables that she had dried herself, as well as dried chicken and fish.
In addition, there was a thick letter that explained how to do these things, what to pay attention to while doing them, and said that after getting married, one should not be lazy anymore, as one has never cooked at home and should slowly learn to cook.
Chang Ning pouted. Jiang Linghan hadn't even asked her to cook. Wasn't the canteen pretty good? The village used to have a people's canteen!
Scrolling down, I read about the family's recent situation and told her not to worry, to write back if anything happened, and to call or send a telegram if there was an emergency.
The other package was sent by Jiang Linghan's mother, Huang Yun. Chang Ning read the letter first. It said that she had learned from the last phone call that they had returned to their post and that some things were hard to buy, so she specially bought them in Beijing and sent them to them.
The package contained not only common canned goods and malted milk powder, but also imported goods that were supposedly bought from the Friendship Store, including chocolates, coffee, and liqueur-filled candies. It was said that these items were very popular among young people, so they bought some for her to try and see if she liked them.
Besides food and drinks, they also sent two cashmere coats, one men's and one women's, along with some imported skincare products, scarves, and other small items.
Chang Ning spent the afternoon tidying up. When Jiang Linghan returned, he found her lost in thought. He went over and touched her forehead: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No," Chang Ning shook her head, "I'm just a little shocked."
"What's so shocking?"
Chang Ning looked up at him: "I received packages from your mom and my mom today."
Jiang Linghan flicked her forehead, and Chang Ning yelled, "What are you doing!"
"What do you think?" Jiang Linghan sat down beside her and pulled her hand down. "You're married now, yet you still keep such a clear distinction. What do you think we should call each other?"
Chang Ning stammered, "Our mom."
Jiang Linghan laughed, "Okay, what did Mom send?"
Chang Ning focused on the things Huang Yun had sent and asked, "Is everyone in your family this rich?"
"Didn't you say that?" Jiang Linghan scratched her chin. "You think I'm too old, so Mom probably felt bad for you and specially bought you something to make up for it!"
Chang Ning exclaimed, "Oh dear! I'm being serious with you!"
"What's wrong with that? I've been increasing my training every day so you won't find me annoying. You can check it out tonight."
He veered off-topic as soon as he started talking, and Chang Ning blushed, glared at him, slapped his hand away, and stood up: "I'm not talking to you anymore!"
"Where are you going!"
Jiang Linghan grabbed her hand and pulled her forcefully, so Chang Ning was sitting on his lap. She tried to pry his arm off her waist, shouting, "What are you doing!"
"Stop fooling around!" Jiang Linghan hugged her and rubbed his chin against her face. "In our family, only my mother is rich. My maternal grandparents used to run a business, but most of them joined the revolution. The remaining family fortune is all with my mother."
"No wonder!"
Chang Ning said, "I could tell from our first meeting that you spend money extravagantly!"
"I'm innocent! I was just trying to make a good impression on my wife!"
Chang Ning pinched his cheek and said he was shameless!
The next day, Changning went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a clay pot, as well as several other pots and pans. Her mother had sent so much food, and she had to use it all up.
She decided to start with seafood porridge, having heard that it was better to use a clay pot.
As soon as she opened the courtyard gate with her things, she heard someone call her from behind: "Commander Jiang's wife!"
Chang Ning frowned, turned around, and saw an elderly woman in her fifties walking towards her. She thought for a moment and tentatively called out, "Aunt Li?"
"Hey, you just got back from shopping?"
Chang Ning said, "Did you call me for something?"
Aunt Li looked a bit old and wasn't very tall, but she walked quite steadily. She came up to her side in no time, looked at what she was holding, and said, "Why did you buy this plastic ladle? You can just make your own gourd. It's a waste of money!"
"I need it urgently now, there's no time to dig out the gourd, and it's not expensive anyway."
"This isn't expensive! It would cost several cents!"
After a while, Aunt Li said again, "It's only because your Commander Jiang is successful that you're able to enjoy the good life!"
That sounded reasonable, but it just made people inexplicably uncomfortable. Chang Ning simply asked directly, "Aunt Li, what do you want to see me about?"
"Well, I came to borrow something from your house!"
What did Changning ask?
"Lend me two honeycomb briquettes, we're almost out of them."
Aunt Li said, "I saw it! Commander Jiang bought a lot before the New Year. There are only two people in your family, so there must be some left over!"
They also said that their family was large and they didn't have enough to live on, so they were having a hard time.
Chang Ning felt a headache coming on: "Aunt Li, give me the winnowing basket, I'll fill two for you."
They have a lot of coal, and now that the weather is cold, it's been running almost non-stop from morning till night.
"No need, just tell me where it is. You don't need to do anything, I'll install it myself!"
As he walked into the house, he looked around as he went. “Your house is really well done. I remember that last summer, Regiment Commander Jiang spent the whole summer here making repairs, and it took him several months!”
"Is the kitchen here? Xiao Jiang's wife, you rest, I'll do it myself."
Chang Ning was almost stunned. This Aunt Li acted as if she were in her own home. In no time, she had made her way from the kitchen to the backyard. Their coal was piled up there. When Aunt Li saw it, she exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot!"
As he spoke, he squatted down and grabbed six or seven more, filling the small winnowing basket to the brim before standing up: "Alright, you still have so many left, consider these a gift to me!"
Chang Ning: "...?"
That wasn't all. Then Aunt Li said, "By the way, do you still have that candy from a few days ago? My grandson has been craving it!"
Chang Ning said expressionlessly, "That's all."
"Did they all go to Commander Tan's house? I'm not trying to be mean, but we're all neighbors, how could one family get more and another less?"
Chang Ning was speechless. She pointed to the winnowing basket the woman was holding and said, "Didn't you mend it yourself?"
"As you said, consider these few pieces of coal a gift. Aunt Li, please go back now, I need to cook."
Aunt Li muttered to herself as she left.
