Chapter 11 One day, the serf will sing!

“Sister, let me introduce you. This is Jin Chao, my husband.” Yan Xiaoyue took a step back and introduced him to Yan Zhitao.

“Hello.” Yan Zhitao smiled, showing no embarrassment.

She had to admire Yan Zhitao. If it were her, she might have stayed far away, afraid that her neck would disappear without her noticing.

“Mm.”

Jin Chao nodded, acknowledging the introduction, and said nothing more.

“Xiaoyue, I remember I still need to go back to school. Remember to come find me if you’re free.”

Yan Zhitao rubbed her arms, said goodbye, and disappeared.

She turned her head and glared at him when Jin Chao couldn’t see her.

She wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Yan Zhitao. With her around, even if there were twists and turns, the outcome would still be successful.

If it were just their family, the future was unknown, and the obstacles were uncontrollable.

“Let’s go.”

Jin Chao walked a few steps, then turned back when she didn’t follow. The damned woman didn’t know what she was thinking, frowning and smiling alternately.

She looked completely irrational.

He wondered if she would pass the political review.

Yan Xiaoyue looked up and saw Jin Chao frowning at her.

Her heart tightened. “Jin Chao, I’m hungry.”

After she said it, she wanted to slap herself. This excuse was so stupid.

“Oh.”

Jin Chao turned around, one hand in his pocket, the other holding the bicycle handlebars.

Yan Xiaoyue dared not complain, following behind, shouting in her heart, “One day, I will turn over and sing!”

After walking a distance, Jin Chao didn’t ride the bicycle, but pushed it the whole time. Just as she was about to collapse, Jin Chao stopped.

At a crossroads, there was a small shop with the words “Burned Cakes” written on it.

“Boss, two.”

Jin Chao gestured and took out two dimes from his pocket, handing them to the boss.

The boss smiled, took the money, and gestured with his hand, which she didn’t understand.

“What flavor do you want?” Jin Chao pointed to the flavors on the table. She leaned over and looked.

“Sweet.”

She saw Jin Chao gesturing, and the boss probably couldn’t hear, so she pointed to the sweet bean sauce next to it.

She hesitated whether to add chili, raised her hand, touched her face, tapped her fingers unconsciously, and decided not to add it.

She waited aside, Jin Chao and the boss kept gesturing with their fingers, without any hesitation.

She had to admire how much this man knew.

“Here.”

Jin Chao handed her a burned cake, covered with sweet bean sauce and many black sesame seeds.

Taking a bite, it was fragrant.

It wasn’t worse than what she made, even better, and the dough was firmer.

Before she knew it, she finished the cake. When she looked up, they had already walked some distance.

Yan Xiaoyue retracted her gaze and followed Jin Chao’s pace. Jin Chao turned around and patted the bicycle seat.

She sat down, feeling embarrassed, worried about her bottom.

Seeing the increasingly familiar road, Yan Xiaoyue couldn’t help but guess that Jin Chao was going to sell her!

“Get off.”

The bicycle stopped at a shoe store, filled with various shoes, most of them work shoes at the entrance, priced at one yuan and five cents a pair.

Jin Chao pulled her into the store and took a pair of black lambskin shoes from the shelf. “Boss, get a pair of her size.”

Yan Xiaoyue blinked, looked at the shoes in Jin Chao’s hand, which clearly showed: 36.

She took it and put it on, not forgetting to answer the boss’s question about her shoe size.

“Boss, no need, this is my size.”

Looking at the perfectly fitting shoes, they were also very comfortable, but the price was a bit expensive.

These shoes cost more than ten yuan, enough for a family’s monthly food expenses.

She reluctantly took off the shoes and shook her head. “Jin Chao, it’s too expensive, I don’t want it.”

If it weren’t for the clear “want” in her eyes, he really wouldn’t have bought them.

“Look at you, you don’t even know how to smile. You scared your wife. You dress yourself up so nicely, but your wife’s shoes are broken.”

The proprietress came out at this time, glared at Jin Chao, and began to stand up for her.

Yan Xiaoyue’s heart trembled. She wanted new shoes, but not in this way. This proprietress was amazing.

Jin Chao lowered his head. “Are they comfortable?”

Yan Xiaoyue looked up, discovering for the first time how tall this man was.

“Comfortable.”

She nodded. These shoes felt like real leather, the texture was different, and much more comfortable than her old shoes.

She really couldn’t wear her cloth shoes. If they were thousand-layer sole shoes, it would be fine, as the soles were softer.

Hers were foam-soled, the material was new, and she wore them carefully, but the soles were already worn out.

“Boss, wrap up both pairs.” Jin Chao took two pairs from the shelf. When paying, the boss asked for 32 yuan, and she rushed out.

“Sister, you’re so beautiful, can these shoes be cheaper? Take off a zero, and I’ll come back next time.”

She wasn’t good at bargaining, and she always couldn’t bring herself to do it. Now her pockets were tighter than her face, so her pride didn’t matter anymore.

“Your mouth is really sweet, you also need to know how to coax your husband.” The proprietress pinched her nose and whispered in her ear, “I’ll give you the change back, keep it for yourself, don’t give it to your husband.”

The proprietress took 32 yuan from Jin Chao and gave back two yuan, which made her feel guilty, but the guilt quickly disappeared.

There was only this one shoe store in the whole town, and the shoes were really expensive. A worker’s monthly salary was only about twenty or thirty yuan.

“Thank you, sister. You are truly beautiful and kind, and you will surely get rich.” Yan Xiaoyue sincerely thought so.

The proprietress packed the shoes and let Jin Chao carry them, then pulled her aside and said, “You need to coax your man. As long as you coax him, he’ll agree to anything. You need to learn.”

“Don’t be afraid.”

The proprietress’s words echoed in her mind. She looked at Jin Chao walking ahead and suddenly had a direction.

Win over Jin Chao, become a military wife.

In the future, Jin Chao would be in the army, out of sight, out of mind. She would stay home with money, and occasionally go traveling with friends.

In her last life, she spent all her time making money, filming intangible cultural heritage, making videos, and coming up with ideas.

It took a year to see results.

Three years to become famous.

She died right after she became famous.

Thinking about it now, life really had hope.

And she didn’t have to deal with her in-laws too much.

Jin Chao, walking ahead, felt the gaze on his back getting stronger and stronger, impossible to ignore.

He stopped, and Yan Xiaoyue bumped straight into his back.

“Ouch, my nose!”

Yan Xiaoyue cried out in pain, gasping for breath, feeling lucky that her nose was real. Otherwise, if she bumped twice in one day, it would definitely collapse.
