Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 472: Chapter 472 How to Sell Game Meat

Why did she need to grow up faster? Wasn’t it okay to take her time with the youth she had regained? Besides, this extra time should give her the chance to become smarter and not be as foolish as in her previous life.

However, she certainly didn’t dare to confront him with this thought.

”I need to go to the tea garden. I’ve already made arrangements with Brother Hu, and after I return from the tea garden, I’m going to head back to Peace Town with Brother Hu,” Chiang Xiao said while eating, ”Do you want to go back to the base first? I can manage on my own.”

Meng Xinian’s action of picking up food paused for a moment.

He was feeling somewhat frustrated. He had originally taken three days leave, but when he called the base at noon, they informed him that there was an unexpected training exercise and he had to return today.

He had planned to take Chiang Xiao out for a walk in the afternoon no matter what. Who would have thought that the rain just wouldn’t stop?

If Chiang Xiao was going to the rural tea garden, she definitely couldn’t go too late, which meant that after they ate, he would have to send her there and then rush back to the base.

Having one day less of his leave, Meng Xinian felt down for the first time.

In the past, nothing could dampen his enthusiasm for returning to the base.

”I’ll take you there, and after meeting Hu Xibing, I’ll head back to the base,” Meng Xinian said.

The two ate in silence until Meng Xinian couldn’t help but ask, ”Little, when will you come into the city next time?”

”I don’t know. I probably won’t in the short term. I need to focus on my painting at home, and during the summer holiday, I plan to follow grandpa into the mountains to earn some money.”

At this thought, Chiang Xiao suddenly remembered the game meat she had in her ”Space,” and her mind stirred. She had too much meat to eat by herself and would likely have more after going into the mountains, so why not sell some while she was in City M?

It would be a good chance to make some money.

But with Meng Xinian always around, she had no way to make a move and sell the game meat.

So, she started employing all of her persuasive skills to encourage Meng Xinian to return to the base first. She could take the bus to the tea garden to find Hu Xibing on her own.

”I’m not comfortable with you going alone. No more discussion, I’ll take you there,” Meng Xinian remained unmoved.

The tea garden was in the suburbs, and how could he let her go there by herself? Especially in the rain.

Chiang Xiao felt helpless and inwardly cursed him a few times for being a tyrant.

Fortunately, when they were about to leave the house, the rain had just stopped. Meng Xinian really didn’t want to part with her, so he took an extremely slow walk and even taught her some of the most practical combat techniques along the way.

Of course, if possible, he didn’t want her ever to need to use them, but learning a bit more about self-defense was always a good thing.

”I should have asked you to teach me some boxing this morning,” Chiang Xiao lamented, feeling like she had missed out on a great instructor.

Meng Xinian immediately replied, ”Next time you come, I’ll teach you a set of boxing that’s most suitable for you to learn.”

”Okay.”

As expected, the tea garden was a forty-minute drive from the city center and was already within the territory of another county town. This place was called Huali, and this stretch of the tea garden was named Huali Tea Garden.

Huali Tea Garden was one of the stops on this bus route. Chiang Xiao had thought it would be very remote, but to her surprise, there was a restaurant and a tea shop outside the tea garden, all named after Huali. It seemed that they were part of the tea garden’s business ventures.

However, this place served as a halfway point between City M and Huali County Town, so many travelers used it as a rest stop. They would stop here for a meal and a break, which kept the area somewhat lively.
