Chapter 17

The space had automatic planting, and the temperature and water sources were suitable for vegetable growth, so the progress was faster.

“When these vegetables are ripe, Mom will cook them for Junjun to eat, okay?” The mother and son squatted by the farm. Junjun looked at the sprouting vegetables, his eyes shining brightly, “Mom, can I water them?”

“Of course.”

Shen Youran took Junjun’s hand, went into the house to change clothes, found a small bucket for him, and filled it with spiritual spring water.

“From now on, if Junjun is bored, he can come here to water the plants. We can also buy some fruit and vegetable seeds to plant.” Shen Youran patiently accompanied her little milk balls.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the little milk balls got excited, “Mom, will we have a lot of fruits and vegetables that we can’t finish eating?”

“Yes!”

“That’s great! That’s great!”

Junjun happily danced in the farm. Seeing his bright smile, Shen Youran also laughed.

The mother and son stayed in the space for several hours. When it was afternoon, Shen Youran made dinner for her little milk balls. They ate their fill in the space before going out.

After all, Lu Yifan would still come back here. It wouldn’t be good if he discovered anything.

As soon as they came out of the space, Lu Yifan opened the door with his key. Seeing the two of them sitting on the sofa, his face fell.

Usually, he came back earlier, but today he had to meet Zhou Xiaohui and give her a promise.

That’s why he came back a bit late.

He was in a good mood, but when he saw Shen Youran and Junjun beside her, his face turned ugly. As soon as he entered the house, he directly questioned, “What’s going on? Didn’t you already get the ring back? You agreed to divorce too. Why are you still living here?”

As he said these words, Lu Yifan was relieved that Zhou Xiaohui didn’t come with him this afternoon. Otherwise, the promise he had just made would be shattered!

This Shen Youran, she always went back on her word!

Since she had agreed to divorce, shouldn’t she have directly notified him to discuss the specific details of the divorce and then directly go through with the divorce procedures?

Couldn’t she just live at her parents’ house? Why did she have to come back?

The more Lu Yifan thought about it, the angrier he became. His face was red with anger. Shen Youran remained expressionless, “I did agree, but I need some time. I need to find a new job.”

Seeing that Lu Yifan’s expression hadn’t improved much, Shen Youran added, “I’ll divorce you quickly. Just two months. Don’t worry too much.”

“Even if someone is waiting to get married, they have to wait until I leave, right? We haven’t officially divorced yet. Even after we officially divorce, it’s not appropriate for you to immediately marry someone else or bring them home. You have to consider their reputation, right?”

Shen Youran didn’t even look up, but her words were extremely hurtful.

Especially the part about someone waiting to get married.

Looking at her expression, Lu Yifan suddenly remembered something. He remembered that the previous Shen Zhao Di wouldn’t talk like this. Every time he spoke, she would be meek and submissive.

How come she suddenly became a different person?

And the previous Shen Youran was very careful about mentioning Zhou Xiaohui. Why was she now constantly mentioning that someone was waiting to get married?

Why was she so blunt?

“Fine!”

Lu Yifan was confused for a moment and put those things aside.

Even if Shen Youran was different from before, maybe she was just pretending to deceive him. After all, the person who saved him was Xiaohui. He had to marry her back home.

Two months, fine.

“But I still need to make it clear to you,” Lu Yifan agreed, but he was still afraid that Shen Youran would go back on her word, “If you play any tricks, I won’t let you off!”

“Okay.”

After saying that, Shen Youran took Junjun back to her room.

The original owner and Lu Yifan always slept in separate rooms, not bothering each other!

Back in the room, Shen Youran couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

It’s as if she wanted to be with him.

He was a hot commodity in the eyes of others, but he was nothing in her eyes.

Lu Yifan stood outside, staring at the door to the room for a long time before finally looking away.

Two months, he could still endure it.

The next day, Shen Youran received a definite reply from Mo Xiaoyun, “The next selection will be in half a month. You have to pass the selection before you can be reported to higher authorities.”

“As for the initial application form, my husband has already taken care of it for you.” Mo Xiaoyun liked Shen Youran’s resilient personality. Plus, she had given her pork and gifts. She thought Shen Youran was not only kind but also knew how to handle people. Of course, she would help!

Shen Youran saw the initial registration form and a smile of excitement spread across her face, “Then thank you, Sister Yun.”

Mo Xiaoyun felt a little embarrassed, “If you need anything in the future, you can still come to me.”

“But are you really sure you want to join the army? It’s really hard work, you know!” Mo Xiaoyun had asked her husband about the details last night, and she heard that being a female soldier was really tough.

The army doesn’t care if you’re a man or a woman, if you’re a soldier, you have to train.

Because of the natural difference in physical fitness between men and women, the training requirements for female soldiers are a little lower than for male soldiers, but it’s still really tiring.

After all, in the army, they always train women like men, and men like beasts.

Besides training, there are all sorts of things to do, it’s not as easy as you imagine.

“I’ve already made up my mind. As long as I can pass the assessment, my physical fitness meets the standards, then I’m definitely going.” Shen Youran finished speaking and waved her hand, “I’ll talk to you later, Sister Yun. I have to go to work in the canteen, let’s chat later.”

Then she turned around and left.

She went back home and woke up Junjun. After they had breakfast, seeing that it was almost time, Shen Youran went to work at the army’s canteen.

This was the original owner’s job.

As long as the family members who came to accompany the army wanted to work, the army would arrange it for them. Most of them worked in places like the canteen.

The salary wasn’t particularly high, but it wasn’t very low either. This was a welfare benefit for military wives.

This was also to give those family members who came to accompany the army some benefits.

It was a secure job, as long as they didn’t get divorced, they would be guaranteed a job.

It was still the 1970s, individual businesses were not allowed, and it was very difficult to find a job. Being a military wife and being assigned a job in the army was already a very good condition, so the original owner didn’t want to get divorced.

In the book, after the original owner died, the male and female leads got together. They used the vegetables grown in the space to make money. At first, they bartered the vegetables from the space, and later they openly sold them.

Because there was no one at home to take care of Junjun, the original owner usually brought him to the canteen.

In this era, most women with children could bring their children to their workplace. Several children could play together, and most workplaces would set up a small room for the children to stay in, like a nursery.

Junjun came here and quietly stayed aside to play, he didn’t bother anyone, Shen Youran worked seriously and rarely interacted with others.

After all, her personality had changed so much, even if others didn’t notice anything, they would think she was a weirdo.

Anyway, she would be leaving soon, there was no need to say so much.

The original owner’s job in the canteen was to serve food. It was only busy during meal times, those few hours. Once meal times were over, it was basically easy.

She could go back to rest.

After returning home, Shen Youran took Junjun back to the space. She exercised there to restore her original physical fitness, and Junjun watered the vegetables beside her, playing happily.

When Shen Youran finished exercising, she turned around and looked at Junjun, and found that he was asleep on the chair.

“Mom.”

Shen Youran wanted to pick him up and put him to bed, she had just reached out, and he woke up.

“Hmm?” Shen Youran responded, then picked up the child, walking towards the room and saying, “Next time you’re tired, go to sleep, or ask Mom to carry you, okay?”

“Okay.” Junjun smiled and showed two little canine teeth. Shen Youran gently scratched him, and he burst into laughter.

When they reached the room, Junjun wasn’t sleepy anymore. He pestered Shen Youran to play, and the room was filled with the excited sounds of mother and son.

Soon it was time to serve food in the afternoon.

Seeing that Junjun was already asleep, Shen Youran simply left him in the space and went to the canteen to finish her afternoon work.

When she finished work and came back to the space, Junjun was sitting obediently in the yard, basking in the sun, holding a small book he didn’t know where he found.

“Mom’s not here, are you not scared, Junjun?” Shen Youran asked, then took out a small bag from her pocket, “Mom asked a lady for some fruit seeds, let’s plant these seeds in the field together, okay?”

“Not scared!”

Junjun smiled sweetly, answering Shen Youran’s question, “Mom said this is our secret, right? Since it’s a secret, it means Mom won’t leave me, I’ll just wait for Mom to come back!”
