Chapter 39

Zhao Lan saw through Ning He’s thoughts and suddenly asked, “Xiao Ning, you don’t really want to set up a stall, do you?”

Ning He felt that Zhao Lan had something else in mind, so she nodded and said, “Yes, I want to make some money to support my family.”

Zhao Lan thought Ning He was daydreaming, but she didn’t say it too directly.

Instead, she tactfully advised: “Xiao Ning, if you have this idea, you should discuss it with your man first. The main task of us women who come to the army is to take care of the family and the children, so that the man can have a hot meal when he returns home.”

“You go out to set up a stall to make money, and you’re out in the spotlight. What about your husband? What about your children?”

Zhao Lan is a woman with traditional ideas. She believes that a woman’s role is to take care of the household and support her husband and children.

Going out and showing your face in public is improper behavior.

Ning He smiled and said okay.

She was not so stupid as to refute Zhao Lan in person.

No matter how much she talked to Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan could not understand Ning He’s behavior.

This is a typical collision between traditional thinking and the open-minded female thinking of the 21st century.

Zhao Lan went back with a big bowl of cold noodles in her hand, smiling.

Ning He sat at the table, drawing on the drawing paper with a pen.

Qianlin looked closer curiously: “Mom, what are you drawing?”

Ning He hooked her finger at Qian Lin and tapped the tip of the pen on what she was drawing.

“This is a tricycle for setting up stalls. It has two boards at the back. Ingredients and seasonings can be placed under the boards. When setting up the stall, the two boards can be laid flat as a table. Put everything on the boards and you can prepare food for people.”

Qianlin imagined and built it in his mind according to what Ning He said, and the image of a tricycle for setting up stalls actually appeared in his mind.

He exclaimed: “This is too amazing!”

Although the rough rendering has been drawn, it is very difficult to produce.

Ning He was worried and distressed because he couldn’t do this job.

There was a noise outside the door, and when Qianlin saw the figure coming in, he called out softly.

“dad.”

Ning He turned her head and saw the tall figure standing at the door. Who else could it be but He Shaochuan?

Their eyes met again, and Ning He suddenly withdrew his gaze, wanting to put away the drawn design.

But before she could make any move, Qianlin was even faster than her. He took her design drawing and ran to He Shaochuan.

Qianlin waved the drawing paper, attracting He Shaochuan’s attention.

“Dad, this is the design that Mom drew. Make a car for Mom.”

After saying that, Qianlin handed the drawing paper to He Shaochuan.

Ning He widened his eyes, stood up and tried to grab it back.

Who knew that He Shaochuan opened the drawing paper very quickly.

His eyes fell on the strange pattern on the drawing paper. He Shaochuan had never seen a car of this shape before.

He looked at her deeply and asked, “What is this car used for?”

Ning He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell He Shaochuan about this. The reason she didn’t want to tell him was that they had an unpleasant argument last night, and Ning He had a rough idea of ​​He Shaochuan’s temper.

Typical male chauvinism. Apart from anything else, their differences in Qianlin’s education are already obvious.

Not to mention Ning He wanted to go out and set up a stall.

But on second thought, He Shaochuan is her husband and also a soldier. If she doesn’t tell him about this and acts privately, if he is discovered, he will be implicated.

After thinking for a while, Ning He told He Shaochuan: “This is a car for setting up a stall. I want to set up a stall to sell cold noodles after the car is finished.”

After Ning He finished speaking, fearing that He Shaochuan would deny it outright, she quickly added, “Don’t worry, I won’t set up a stall in the compound. I want to set up a stall at the market. There are a lot of big factories nearby. There are a lot of workers in the factories, and they are a source of business at mealtime.”

He Shaochuan felt that Ning He’s idea was very unique. The family members of soldiers who came to the army to follow the troops either took care of their families and children, or found a job in the compound.

Ning He is the first person who wants to start his own business and set up a stall to sell things.

He had no reason to object, but…

He Shaochuan frowned slightly. He remembered that he had introduced Ning He to a job in a supply and marketing cooperative before. However, Ning He worked there for less than two days and not only did she feel tired, but she also ate food from the supply and marketing cooperative when she was hungry.

What she earned was not even enough for her food, and she was sent back after just two days.

With her personality of working for three days and resting for two days, can she really persist?

“Is there not enough money?” This was the only reason He Shaochuan could think of.

If she had enough money, she wouldn’t have suddenly suggested setting up a stall.

But didn’t he promise her before that he would give Ning He an extra ten yuan every month?

One hundred and ten dollars a month is not enough?

Ning He shook his head: “I want to make more money, and at the same time I want to have something to do to pass the time.”

He Shaochuan frowned slightly. Although Ning He didn’t say it directly, He Shaochuan could hear it.

Or maybe he earned too little, which made Ning He want to set up a stall to make money.

With a stern face, he said to Ning He in a stiff tone: “Give me a year, I will make merit and be promoted. Once I am promoted, my allowance will increase every month. I will not let you and your mother go hungry.”

Ning He was a little confused. She just wanted to set up a stall, so how did it have to do with his meritorious service and promotion?

However, seeing He Shaochuan’s serious face and the way he assured her, Ning He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He Shaochuan was looking at her without blinking.

Ning He hooked his finger at He Shaochuan and said to him, “Come here.”

He Shaochuan followed Ning He to their bedroom.

They came to the bedroom to talk, there must be something that Qianlin was not convenient to hear, He Shaochuan turned around and closed the door.

Ning He took advantage of the moment he turned around and hugged his thin waist from behind.

He Shaochuan’s back was stiff, and he dared not move at all when he felt the softness coming from behind.

Ning He felt his stiffness, and the arm across the man’s waist suddenly tightened, and her soft fingertips wandered on his waist.

She took the opportunity to touch his well-defined abdominal muscles.

“My tone of voice was a bit aggressive last night. Let’s discuss everything in the future, okay? Look, I wanted to set up a stall this time, didn’t I discuss it with you? You won’t refuse, will you?”

This was the first time Ning He had been so proactive, but she did not back down at all. Isn’t there a saying that goes, “Oh, you’re not going to do that?”

If the hard approach doesn’t work, try the soft approach.

Men are soft-hearted and will not respond to hard tactics. There is no man who does not fall for this.

He Shaochuan could only feel his eardrums throbbing, and behind him, a soft and beautiful woman appeared, speaking softly, with two arms as white as lotus roots across her waist.

Ning He was trying to please him.

He Shaochuan’s self-proclaimed strong willpower suddenly collapsed at this moment.

“Okay,” he cleared his throat and responded in a hoarse voice.

As he finished speaking, the tension around her waist loosened.
