Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Da Biao Gets Married

The family sat together watching the long-armed ape, knowing it had to speak up. That person would not open his mouth.

After explaining the situation, Tan Shaoting nervously held Su Yuanyuan’s hand. ”Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

”Not bad. How do we completely make this thing ours? If it can’t be done, I don’t want it.”

Tan Shaoting pointed to his wife’s brow, and soon Su Yuanyuan learned a method of mastery.

”That’s all it takes, and since this is a master and servant bond, you won’t be affected.”

Su Yuanyuan looked it over and nodded.

By now, the long-armed ape realized it had no choice but to agree. It had hoped to negotiate before, but now understood it had no leverage.

Tan Shaoting prepared some things for his wife, and Su Yuanyuan began the process of mastering it.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly, perhaps because there was an Artifact Spirit in the space, willingly aiding.

Now, Su Yuanyuan could completely control the space, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Su Yuanyuan had a mischievous side; this creature didn’t like its form, so she decided to keep it that way.

Qi Wen happily played with the long-armed ape, while Tan Shaoting happily strolled through the space, holding his wife’s hand.

”We should head out soon; it’s lunchtime.”

”Why did you come back?”

”I didn’t feel comfortable there,” Tan Shaoting said with a smile.

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. ”True, let’s go eat. I’m a bit hungry and wondering if the chef’s skills will match my expectations.”

Upon hearing his wife was hungry, Tan Shaoting quickly gathered the children to leave.

The family appeared just as the cultural performance was concluding, since the comrades in training were about to head to the canteen.

This time, Tan Shaoting went to give a speech, then the meal began.

Today’s meal was truly excellent.

Huang Xiaoqing was experiencing this atmosphere for the first time and was quite excited.

She felt this place was enough to make one’s blood boil.

The family of five finished eating, and Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan were ready to leave.

Qi Yan and the other two stayed behind, as they had things to take care of. With the new year approaching, they’d soon return to accompany Mom.

Chengzi was all smiles. ”Sister-in-law, I’ve already told Captain Yu that my wedding will be organized the same way.”

”As long as you’re willing. When are you going to get your certificate?”

”I’ll go back and ask today. The sooner, the better.”

”Remember to go visit during the New Year,” Su Yuanyuan advised Chengzi.

”I know.”

Their wedding was scheduled for the first lunar month, so the New Year visit was a must.

The two returned to work; they had no holidays.

Su Yuanyuan, though pregnant, wasn’t much tired. After returning, she was still busy with her work.

Chengzi left to visit Li Xiaoyu’s office, as she had no classes that afternoon.

Li Xiaoyu smiled upon seeing Chengzi come to find her in the office.

”Back so soon?”

”The boss and sister-in-law had work.”

The female teachers in the office greeted them with smiles, watching the two fondly.

”Xiao Yu, you might as well take the afternoon off. You don’t have classes, do you?”

Li Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, looking at Chengzi. ”I’ll go ask the director for leave.”

Chengzi and Li Xiaoyu chatted with the teachers, who were older and quite pleased with Chengzi, thinking Teacher Li had great judgement.

They left the school together. ”We have time now, shall we go home to see if anything is missing?”

Li Xiaoyu truly liked the courtyard, especially seeing it so tidily kept this time, her face glowing with happiness.

Her two sisters-in-law were envious, saying the house wasn’t one ordinary people could buy or afford to live in.

After all, how could girls be without vanity?

All the home’s items were picked by her own mom, so naturally they were to her taste.

”Nothing’s missing.”

”Oh, do you want to buy clothes or fabric? I brought quite a few fabric coupons this time.”

Their coupons were different; the garrison coupons were most useful.

”Sure, though my mom’s already prepared new clothes for me,” Li Xiaoyu said, slightly embarrassed. What girl would refuse more clothes?

”No problem; you’ll wear them eventually. Let’s go have a look; shouldn’t we also prepare something for the family? I’m not familiar with these things, so you decide.”

The two arrived at the building; Chengzi followed behind Li Xiaoyu, who seemed like a happy little bird.

Chengzi was willing to satisfy her.

On the first floor, they bought several pounds of candy—an essential.

On the second floor, Li Xiaoyu felt truly free, unlike before when coming with her mom, who’d sometimes forbid this and restrict that.

She understood, of course. With many people in the family, fabric coupons weren’t abundant, even though she received them monthly; those without coupons had to be considered too. Naturally, one couldn’t just focus on oneself but had to care for everyone.

She had just seen Chengzi’s coupons, so now she felt free to buy whatever she liked.

She had always wanted to make an overcoat, already had the design, but lacked fabric. Now she could make it in just a day after returning.

Right, if she made clothes herself, she’d definitely need a sewing machine at home.

Laughing, she turned back to Chengzi. ”I want a sewing machine for making clothes conveniently.”

Chengzi nodded. ”No problem. I just haven’t checked if I have a sewing machine coupon. Let’s go ask; I’ll look for it too.” Nowadays, purchases required coupons.

The sewing machines were on the third floor. Li Xiaoyu didn’t choose fabric for now; she wanted to secure the sewing machine first.

Chengzi was dressed plainly today. When they reached the sewing machine section, no one attended to them; it was quite ordinary.

The two browsed by themselves. Li Xiaoyu found a model she liked.

Meanwhile, Chengzi was searching for coupons. There were indeed coupons, two of them even, which was a relief. Otherwise, they’d have to return home empty-handed.

If he took his wife out but couldn’t buy her even the simplest thing she wanted, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Actually, Chengzi was quite the authoritarian; it just hadn’t shown before.

Li Xiaoyu came closer. ”So? Do we have coupons?”

Chengzi handed it to her with a smile. ”See if they’re usable. Secretary Xu gave them to me earlier, but I hadn’t paid attention.”

Li Xiaoyu accepted it with a smile, and Chengzi watched her, eyes crinkling in joy. She couldn’t understand how something as simple as a sewing machine could make someone so happy.

Suddenly, he remembered hearing about the ”three essentials” for marriage but had forgotten what they were, so he asked.

”That’s a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a radio.”

”I saw the coupons earlier; we’ll buy them all. Whatever others get when they marry, you’ll get too.”
