Chapter 27: Spatial Cheat

The car drove for over ten hours before stopping at the entrance of a very remote village.

Along the way, Su Anan was well taken care of.

Xiao Ge was very capable and quick-witted, running errands back and forth.

He also realized that the new regiment commander truly cared about his wife.

He cherished her deeply.

Afraid she’d be cold, afraid she’d be hot, afraid she’d be tired, afraid she’d be hungry…

He took care of her meticulously.

Fortunately, the regiment commander’s wife wasn’t troublesome; she never complained, no matter how hard or tiring it was.

This made Xiao Ge look at her with new respect.

Because Su Anan was too frail, she was genuinely delicate.

Getting out of the car and looking at the desolate place in front of her—hardly even a village, just a detachment—Su Anan was a little dumbfounded.

“Isn’t this… not much different from the farm where Wei Zhiming was demoted?” Su Anan rubbed her aching waist, speaking with a helpless expression.

She had expected it to be difficult.

But seeing it with her own eyes was quite shocking.

Xiao Ge was also a little helpless.

This was nothing to him.

Lu Jingchen felt a bit guilty: “It’s still better than the farm.”

“Well, at least there’s freedom,” Su Anan replied, her delicate brows drooping listlessly.

Even with the best care, the long journey was tiring and exhausting.

Even Xiao Ge smiled.

This regiment commander’s wife was really interesting.

“Anan, take a break. The car ride into the village will be bumpy,” Lu Jingchen said apologetically. “I’ll earn more merit and get transferred back soon.”

So they wouldn’t have to live in such a harsh place.

Su Anan nodded: “Hubby, come on!”

This made Lu Jingchen blush again.

Su Anan chuckled; he was such a pure young man.

His face blushed so easily.

However, thinking of the past life, where Lu Jingchen was framed and demoted to a farm by the original owner and then mysteriously poisoned to death, she felt a pang of discomfort.

Such a good man, how could the original owner do that?

Looking at Xiao Ge, she remembered seeing him mentioned in the original text.

In this life, Lu Jingchen was promoted to regiment commander, while in the previous life, it was Wei Zhiming.

Xiao Ge, in the previous life, was Wei Zhiming’s orderly, and his ending wasn’t good.

He died taking the blame and a bullet for Wei Zhiming.

Looking at Xiao Ge, who had a simple and honest look with a big, bright smile, Su Anan shook her head slightly. Such a good comrade, yet he had such a tragic end.

The car stopped.

Before them stood a majestic gate, separating the compound from the outside world.

At the entrance was a reinforced concrete guardhouse, with two People’s Liberation Army soldiers standing guard with rifles.

On both sides of the gate were large slogans in Mao Zedong’s style: “Heighten vigilance, defend the motherland.”

Su Anan felt a wave of solemnity wash over her.

Xiao Ge went forward and negotiated, and the military vehicle drove into the compound.

After getting out of the car, Su Anan started to retch.

The ride was really too bumpy.

She felt like her heart, liver, and lungs were going to come out.

Lu Jingchen was extremely distressed, supporting her waist and gently patting her back, repeatedly saying sorry: “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have let you come with the army…”

Coming with the army was indeed very difficult.

But Su Anan’s situation at the Su family worried him.

He urgently submitted a report, allowing Su Anan to join him.

With his rank, it was approved very quickly.

After catching her breath, Su Anan waved her hand: “It’s okay, I’m willing to come with the army.”

She was already pregnant, so it was naturally better to be with Lu Jingchen.

According to the timeline, her morning sickness was also normal.

“Anan, you’re so good,” Lu Jingchen hugged her, with restraint and deep affection. Since they were together at the guest house, he often thought about it.

He finally married his wife.

Afterwards, Xiao Ge drove Lu Jingchen to report for duty.

Leaving Su Anan alone at home.

The room wasn’t big, an inner and outer room plus a kitchen, about twenty square meters, but it was fully furnished.

The sewing machine and bicycle were brand new.

There was also a new radio.

A Shanghai brand watch; Lu Jingchen put it on Su Anan’s wrist on the way.

It was clear that Lu Jingchen wanted to give Su Anan the best.

Along the way, it was clear that the conditions here were harsh.

Most of them were mud-brick houses, one next to the other, without walls.

In the yard, plots were created to grow various vegetables.

Seeing these vegetable plots, Su Anan thought of the space that had appeared in her mind before; it seemed to have mountains, water, and land. She hadn’t had time to explore it along the way with Lu Jingchen and Xiao Ge.

She only remembered that the pendant around her neck was burning hot.

She immediately took the pendant in her hand.

But the burning sensation was gone.

Remembering that there was no mention of a space in the original text, she was at a loss.

She thought of many novels she had read before that used blood for recognition.

She went to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, staring at her finger for a long time, but couldn’t bring herself to cut it.

She was afraid of pain!

As she hesitated, her figure swayed, and she was already standing in an open space.

The space wasn’t large.

There was sunlight, a gentle kind.

Not cold, not hot.

It was the most comfortable temperature for the human body.

There was a stream and a mountain.

By the stream was a plot of land, about an acre in size.

It seemed to be beckoning to Su Anan, waiting for her to cultivate it.

“It looks like I can try growing some vegetables!” Su Anan muttered to herself, and the next second, she was back in the room.

She was still holding the kitchen knife.

As soon as Lu Jingchen came in, he saw his wife holding a kitchen knife and was startled: “Anan, what happened?”

As he spoke, he flashed, one hand on Su Anan’s shoulder, the other snatching the knife from her hand and throwing it far away.

He was scared out of his wits.

Seeing the pale-faced man in front of her, Su Anan couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head: “I’m fine, I was thinking about what to cook.”

Lu Jingchen, who had been scared out of his wits, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He gently released Su Anan: “What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it.”

Looking at the potatoes and cabbage in the kitchen, Su Anan narrowed her eyes. What could she make with this?

“A comrade sent me some vegetables, and I also got some from the canteen,” Lu Jingchen also followed her gaze to the cabbage and potatoes on the ground.

Conditions were harsh here; most of the time they ate cabbage, potatoes, and large radishes.

In the summer, they could eat their own vegetables.

They had just arrived and had missed the planting season.

Su Anan didn’t make it difficult for him: “Okay, I see Xiao Ge put down some supplies, including chili peppers. Let’s stir-fry some shredded potatoes and then stir-fry some sweet and sour cabbage.”

They had bought a lot of household goods from the city, and they were well-equipped.

For now, they could only create their own conditions.

“Okay.” Lu Jingchen nodded and immediately washed his hands to prepare the vegetables.

His movements were quite skillful.

However, he didn’t know how to cook the dishes Su Anan wanted.

So, from beginning to end, Su Anan stood by and directed, while Lu Jingchen did the cooking.

Lu Jingchen had some talent for cooking; he learned quickly.

However, after cooking and serving the dishes, when the two sat down opposite each other, Lu Jingchen was in a daze, sitting there staring blankly.
