Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 67 He Wenhui is playful and naughty

It's about nine o'clock.

Wu Xiaoying dragged her tired body out of the kitchen. She had never worked so hard before, but she enjoyed it and was satisfied.

After she left, Liu Hongchang slipped into the space, took a good bath, and then returned to the room slowly.

He gained another five acres of time acceleration, which he accumulated for later use.

He Wenhui has been a light sleeper since she became pregnant. Liu Hongchang tiptoed into the room, and although he moved slowly, he still woke her up.

"Well, Hong Chang is back?" she said casually in a daze.

Liu Hongchang slowly lay down beside her, smiled slightly, and leaned over to peck her.

He Wenhui got into his arms, felt a little stuffy, and then stepped away, whispering:
"It's too hot in the summer. I don't want to eat anything. I just want to drink water or eat porridge. Bring back some pickles to go with the meal tomorrow."

"I got it, go to sleep!" Liu Hongchang nodded and replied.

……

The next morning, Liu Hongchang went out as usual under the pretext of buying groceries.

Every morning he would go to deliver fresh vegetables and fruits to Gao Junling, Qin Jingru, He Guixiang and others, without interruption.

The quantity is not much, just enough for one or two meals. If there is more, it might go bad.

Gao Junling's mother-in-law and Qin Jingru's mother didn't suspect anything. They just knew that Liu Hongchang was asked to bring them back from the suburbs, and those vegetables and fruits were indeed more delicious than those bought in the city market.

However, because of their presence, Liu Hongchang didn't want to stay for long. Every time he went there, he would say a few words and leave.

In addition to vegetables and fruits, each family today received an extra ceramic jar of pickles compared to previous years.

It is mixed with peanuts, lotus roots, carrots, cucumbers, winter bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger and so on. It has the flavors of both the north and the south, with bright colors, moderate saltiness and sweetness, fresh, sweet and crispy, refreshing and appetizing, and rich in sauce flavor.

They are all made by Liu Hongchang using traditional craftsmanship and ancient methods.

It is brewed with natural sauce, fresh vegetables and various spicy Chinese medicinal materials. It has a unique flavor, excellent aroma, taste and shape, and is salty, sweet, crispy, tender, fresh and fragrant, and can relieve greasiness, increase appetite, and be refreshing and appetizing.

During the production process, Liu Hongchang diluted the space spring water at a ratio of one hundred thousand to one and added it to the sauce.

In addition to being more delicious and fragrant, it can also enhance physical fitness, relieve fatigue, improve sleep quality, help improve skin condition, enhance immunity, etc., and is suitable for all ages.

In the morning, the family had porridge and steamed buns. With pickles, the family's appetites were whetted, and He Wenhui ate with gusto.

Wang Cuilan, on the other hand, tasted something different after just one bite and asked in surprise:
"Hong Chang, which store did you buy this pickle? It tastes much better than the ones I bought before!"

Liu Hongchang smiled and said, "Ever since Wenhui had morning sickness, I've made a big jar of it at work. It tastes better when I make it myself."

"It tastes better too. Your cooking skills were not learned in vain!" Wang Cuilan added with a smile, and then asked in confusion:
"Why do you leave it at work? Every time you come back, people who don't know the truth will think you're taking advantage of the public! Wouldn't it be better to leave it at home?"

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "I'll bring it back when I have time."

"Give some to my sister-in-law and the others to try. I also think the pickles made by Hong Chang are very appetizing." He Wenhui suggested with a smile.

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Okay, give them half, and I'll bring it back after they finish eating."

"You guys eat, I'll go divide the food and send it to the boss and the others." Wang Cuilan quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said.

Ever since Liu Hongchang moved back in, the two brothers tacitly separated. Although they shared a kitchen, they did not eat together.

The food on Liu Hongchang's side is better, and he usually eats in the newly purchased room.

It’s not that I was afraid that Liu Yunchang and the others would see it, but I was afraid that they would be embarrassed.

They also know this situation, so they usually either eat in the kitchen or in the living room so as not to disturb each other.

After Wang Cuilan left, He Wenhui whispered, "There was something wrong with my sister-in-law today. She was more enthusiastic and friendly to me." "Don't be suspicious. Was she not nice to you before?" Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui bit her chopsticks lightly, thought for a moment and said, "It's good, but not as explicit as today. I always feel like she's trying to curry favor with me."

"I guess they are preparing for pregnancy, and they are thinking that they can rent a house from us after the baby is born," Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Preparing for pregnancy? Isn't Big Brother..."

"I heard him say that he bought some Chinese medicine from an old doctor and that many people saw effects after taking it," Liu Hongchang said nonsense.

This was the excuse he and Wu Xiaoying discussed last night. After all, they had to hide it from He Wenhui and Wang Cuilan, so they couldn't make something up out of nothing.

He Wenhui believed it, nodded and smiled, "It would be great if it really works. It would be pitiful to be alone when you are old without children."

"By the way, I remember there is still half a jar of Hongyu wine in the room. Go and give it to my sister-in-law." Liu Hongchang reminded.

He Wenhui was reluctant to give it to her, and hesitated, "A jar of wine worth several hundred yuan is just a gift to her?"

If she were to make the decision, let alone giving it away for free, even if she wanted to sell it, she would have to think for a long time, as a jar of wine costs several hundred yuan!
"Give it to you! You're pregnant now anyway, and you won't drink it. If you want to drink it in the future, I'll buy it for you." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui pouted, buried her head in drinking porridge and ignored him. Such expensive wine had such amazing beauty effects, she really couldn't bear to part with it.

However, thinking that the family's food and supplies were provided by Liu Hongchang, her own salary was not enough to support her parents' family.

So after a moment's silence, she nodded sensibly, listened to Liu Hongchang, and said she would send the wine over after dinner.

After breakfast, Wang Cuilan took away the dishes and He Wenhui went back to her room to clean up and prepare for work.

Liu Hongchang took his bicycle out and waited in the yard. Then he saw Wu Xiaoying coming out of the kitchen and smiling at him.

Without waiting for Liu Hongchang to speak, she twisted her waist and went to her room.

She was obedient and no longer flirted with Liu Hongchang like she did in the past few days.

Instead, Liu Yunchang came out with a big smile on his face, as if there was some great news, and enthusiastically stuffed a pack of Peony cigarettes into Liu Hongchang's hand.

"Hongchang, thank you for your hard work." He patted Liu Hongchang on the shoulder, said nothing more, walked out of the yard and went to work.

Liu Hongchang glanced at the cigarette in his hand, feeling mixed emotions. The cigarette felt a little hot.

……

On the way to the garment factory, He Wenhui sat sideways on the bicycle, holding Liu Hongchang's waist with one hand, and said with a smile:

"I gave the wine to my sister-in-law. After she heard what I said about the effects, her eyes lit up and she said she would be my sister in the future, hehe..."

Liu Hongchang smiled and looked up at the sun. Although it was still early, it was already extremely hot, so he discussed:
"Wenhui, why don't you just quit your job? Your salary isn't high anyway, so just stay at home and prepare for pregnancy."

"Quitting? Let me think about it!" He Wenhui hesitated, "You worked so hard for my job, it would be a shame to quit just like that, how about taking a leave?"

"Another thing is, if I quit my job, I'd be at home doing nothing every day, and I'd get sick easily."

Liu Hongchang didn't force her to say that, but smiled and said, "Okay, you decide on this matter yourself."

"Hehe, actually I don't have any idea. You know I'm easily influenced by others." He Wenhui said with a smile.

"Please persuade me again, and I will agree."

Liu Hongchang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said in a commanding tone: "He Wenhui, listen to me, go to the factory and resign today!"

"Great!" He Wenhui smiled and kicked her feet gently, feeling indescribably relaxed.

She doesn't have any worries because the man she married is capable and she can live a good life with him. She can just quit her job if she wants.
