Newlywed in 1980s: She became rich after marrying the factory director

Chapter 3 The feeling of home
  "Xue Jingmo, you're back!" An Ning saw Xue Jingmo and was as excited as a young bird seeing a big bird returning to its nest.

"I've cooked something in the pot. Just wash your hands and you'll be able to eat it soon."

An Ning looked at Xue Jingmo, who was standing with the backlight, taking off his coat and only wearing a single piece of clothing.

Long-term labor has made the muscles in his arms plump and smooth, and he looks so many times better than Shen Pei's slim boy!
  An Ning looked slightly shy and quickly folded the clothes in her hands and put them down.

Xue Jingmo was stunned. Not only did she not leave, but she also cooked for herself?

He looked around the room and found that it was much cleaner and tidier than when he left.

His throat was so dry that he could hardly speak for a moment.

An Ning cut several portions of the soup-soaked pancakes as staple food, and filled a bowl full of the remaining vegetables.

Holding the perfectly steamed egg custard, An Ning walked quickly. As soon as it was placed on the table, she touched her earlobe with her red fingertips and hissed in her mouth.

"It's hot... it's hot... try it quickly!"

An Ning greeted him, her voice was like rice cakes dipped in sugar, soft and sweet.

Looking at the steaming food in front of him, Xue Jingmo felt an indescribable feeling of satisfaction in his chest, hot and strong.

He expressed his affirmation of An Ning's cooking skills with practical actions, because after a while, the small pot reached the bottom.

An Ning chuckled and took a few pieces into his mouth.

"By the way, I went to the market today and bought a pair of rubber shoes for you. You can try them after eating to see if they fit you?"

"Also, the pair on your feet are worn out. Throw them under the wall later."

Xue Jingmo's hand holding the bowl was startled. She actually noticed that his shoes were broken...

After eating, Xue Jingmo put away the dishes and went out to wash his feet with cold water.

After drying, I carefully put the new rubber shoes on my feet. Not too big, not too small, just right.

She actually even knew his shoe size. Xue Jingmo held the shoes he took off and fell into deep thought.

Can a person's thinking really undergo such a big change overnight?

Could it be that she was deliberately trying to please him so that she could propose a divorce?

Looking at Xue Jingmo who was silent, An Ning knew that his actions had not completely dispelled his concerns.

She sighed, gently sat down next to him, and chatted as if she were talking about everyday things.

"Xue Jingmo, I bought a few kilograms of isatis root seeds at the market today. I'm not in good health, and I'm always prone to headaches and fever. Let's plant some and be prepared."

"Anyway, isatis root can cure all kinds of diseases. Drinking it is good for your health. The excess can be sold after drying it. What do you think?"

She took out the cloth she bought and showed it to him: "Look at this cloth, do you like it? I think the color of this cloth is very good, it is bright, and it is stain-resistant and easy to clean. What do you think? Do you want it?" I’ll make you a short-sleeved shirt later, and then you can wear it when working in the fields without worrying about being dirty and unable to wash it off~ Hehe~”

Xue Jingmo's head was buzzing. What An Ning said was so true, yet so unreal.

She talked so much that she wanted to live a good life with herself.

She has even thought about their future!

This knowledge made the hot feeling in his chest expand even more, so full that it almost overflowed.

In just one day, he felt that in this woman, he had found the feeling of home again.

I used to be an orphan, and I would come home every day to find food in cold water. I would just order pickles and eat a few bites of them.

But now, when I come back, there is the smell of fireworks and the chatter of homely talk.

All this warmed his lonely heart. He really wanted to live such a life every day.

But these actually came from the woman who was clamoring for a divorce a few days ago. Xue Jingmo felt like he was dreaming.

An Ning saw him burying his head and couldn't figure out what he meant. After a moment of silence, Xue Jingmo nodded in a low voice: "Okay."

"I'm going to plant a piece of land now. These two days are just right. When the spring breeze blows and the seeds are thrown in, they will take root."

He picked up the hoe in the corner again and was about to go to work in the fields. He saw An Ning wearing a straw hat on her head and happily locked the door cover.

"I will go with you."

"Why are you following?" Xue Jingmo frowned: "I can do this job alone."

An Ning smiled and pushed him proactively: "Let's go, I want to go with you."

Xue Jingmo frowned, but finally gave in: "Okay, then just watch me over there later."

An Ning knew that this man was very domineering in this regard and was not willing to let her work at all.

She didn't get stubborn with him, and her smile became even sweeter: "Okay."

When they arrived in the field behind, Xue Jingmo picked a place, picked up a shovel and started digging. An Ning followed him, picking up weeds from the loosened soil.

Xue Jingmo's muscles are all real, and every time he strokes, he feels very powerful.

An Ning picked up the weeds easily and remembered a sentence inexplicably: Husband and wife work well together, so they won't be tired from work.

She turned around and glanced at Xue Jingmo secretly.

I don’t know whether it’s because the sun is too bright or because he’s tired from working, but his face looks red...

"Boom -" There was a crisp sound, with a long lingering sound, and Xue Jingmo suddenly felt his arm go numb.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xue Jingmo's expression was not right, An Ning hurried over.

"There seems to be something down here." Xue Jingmo frowned and looked stern. He changed to a smaller hoe and carefully dug around.

An Ning couldn't help but become nervous, and carefully swept away the excavated soil. Soon, the couple saw the exposed part.

It seemed to be a piece of green metal, covered with strange patterns that they had never seen before.

"Don't move yet!" An Ning keenly sensed that this thing was unusual and was probably a cultural relic.

"I'll ask the village party secretary to come and have a look!"

An Ning was quick on her feet, trying her best to control her emotions and told them what they had discovered.

The village party secretary’s surname is Wang. He was an educated youth who went to the countryside before, but he stayed in the village.

After hearing An Ning's description, Party Secretary Wang immediately followed him, holding a paint brush in his hand.

When he arrived at the place where Xue Jingmo was guarding, he gently swept away the loose soil, and his eyes suddenly widened.

He slapped his thigh and his voice rose uncontrollably: "This is a big discovery!"

He couldn't help but hold Xue Jingmo's hand excitedly: "It's very possible, no, it's certain! It's the treasure left by our ancestors!"

Secretary Wang adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke almost incoherently.

He had read a lot of books, but he had only seen very few descriptions in a few books that had been burned as banned books.

This pattern, called the phoenix and bird pattern, is usually engraved on bronze vessels, and is only found on the burial objects of nobles. This thing must have a long history!
