Chapter 4: Gold-Plated Thick Thighs

Without exaggeration, Shen Jichuan, in the army, sometimes had to change clothes and get ready in a few seconds during emergency missions.

It wasn’t that he was impatient.

It was just that this girl was too slow.

He would have to find an opportunity to talk to her about it later.

Shen Jichuan was a regiment-level cadre, managing battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders, and Captains.

As a cadre, it was common for him to admonish his subordinates.

He subconsciously treated Xia Keqing as a subordinate.

After all, military dependents were also part of the army, they had to set a good example.

But on second thought, she was so petite, was the twenty yuan he gave her each month enough? Could it be that she was starving and fainted upstairs?

While Shen Jichuan was frowning and imagining, Xia Keqing came down.

She ran over, her face flushed, like a gust of wind.

Shen Jichuan even had an illusion, as if she would pounce into his arms the next moment.

She was wearing a blue sweater and a houndstooth wool skirt, her waist was slender, and she was bright and charming. He averted his eyes and changed the subject, “Let’s go.”

Xia Keqing could tell.

The male lead looked like a cool, handsome guy, but she clearly saw that his ears were red.

Yes, people in this era were mostly conservative, the male lead was a bit pure.

Xia Keqing pursed her lips and smiled, hooking her arm around his.

Shen Jichuan’s arm instantly froze again.

Xia Keqing deliberately teased him, “Brother Shen, am I too heavy?”

The topic was too abrupt, Shen Jichuan didn’t react for a moment.

The girl looked like she weighed less than ninety pounds, she was too thin! He even felt a little guilty for not taking good care of her. Why did she think she was heavy?

“Nonsense, you’re too thin. Is the money each month not enough?”

Xia Keqing inwardly clicked her tongue.

She had stayed up all night to finish reading the book, and now she had all the original owner’s memories, so she could deeply understand what twenty yuan a month meant.

In the early 1980s, the average wage for the whole country was about twenty to eighty yuan.

The original owner was just the male lead’s fiancée, yet he was willing to pay for her college education, giving her twenty yuan a month, and also giving her various tickets.

In this era, it was still mainly a planned economy, buying things wasn’t about whether you had money, you couldn’t just have money, you also needed tickets, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to buy things even with money.

If not for the fact that she was scammed out of a lot of money by the scumbag Chen, the original owner would have been able to live quite comfortably.

She hugged his arm tighter, “It’s enough, I bought a lot of books!”

Shen Jichuan frowned slightly, almost wanting to ask, then why did it take you so long to change clothes?

But looking at his fiancée, beautiful like a butterfly, Shen Jichuan couldn’t ask.

She had also specially fixed her hair, her black hair was tied back in a strand, looking down from above, you could only see her small and fair earlobes, and her smiling lips.

Shen Jichuan’s mood inexplicably improved.

It didn’t matter, his little girl was so delicate, he, a big man, could wait a little longer.

What’s the big deal?

Who else would he wait for if not his wife?

Commander Shen completely forgot his previous thoughts.

What kind of military dependents need to set a good example.

That was all non-existent…

Shen Jichuan slightly pulled his arm back, the little girl clung to him even tighter.

Everyone around them was looking at them, Shen Jichuan’s face was tense, but his ears were already red.

To be honest, this feeling was inexplicably good.

Xia Keqing held Shen Jichuan’s wrist, smiling and asking, “Where should we eat?”

Actually, in this era, there were only state-owned restaurants to go to, so naturally, they could only go to state-owned restaurants.

Sure enough, Shen Jichuan pondered for a moment, “Let’s go to the state-owned restaurant.”

Many period dramas featured state-owned restaurants, because in this era, going to a state-owned restaurant to eat was a very prestigious thing.

Xia Keqing originally had a bit of a filter for state-owned restaurants.

But when she actually got there, she couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.

It was just an ordinary restaurant, if it were in the developed future, it wouldn’t be as impressive as a small stir-fry restaurant.

But no matter what, it was full of period characteristics.

She had read some period dramas, all of which praised the food in state-owned restaurants.

She wanted to try it too.

Entering the restaurant, there weren’t many people, there were wooden signs hanging on the wall, with the names of the dishes on them.

There was also a small blackboard on the counter, with the words “Today’s Special: Fresh Pork Dumplings” written on it.

Xia Keqing suddenly wanted to eat dumplings.

She tugged on Shen Jichuan’s arm, the latter stopped and looked at her questioningly.

She said softly, “I want to eat fresh pork dumplings, what do you want to eat?”

Shen Jichuan wasn’t picky, but she didn’t stand on ceremony with him, his mood inexplicably improved.

They ordered two portions of fresh pork dumplings, the dumplings here were priced by the weight.

One liang was two jiao.

Xia Keqing understood even more deeply what kind of big thigh she had clung to.

In an era when you could eat a full meal for a few jiao, what did twenty yuan a month from Shen Jichuan mean?

Wasn’t it said in the future that a man’s love is where his money is?

Shen Jichuan might not love her, but for a fiancé to do this much, it was already very rare.

At least it showed that he valued his promises, he was loyal and righteous.

Shen Jichuan took out his money and food tickets to pay.

Xia Keqing curiously stared at him.

The waitress in the state-owned restaurant was not at all enthusiastic.

Xia Keqing had read the original text, and knew that the waitresses in state-owned restaurants at this time were like civil servants in the future, they were paid a fixed salary, the restaurant’s business had nothing to do with them.

They had to work hard, so of course they couldn’t be enthusiastic.

But Xia Keqing didn’t care.

While waiting for the dumplings, she pulled Shen Jichuan to find a seat and sat down, she propped her chin and looked at him.

Shen Jichuan: …

He wasn’t sure if she was looking at him.

But this kind of straightforward gaze, really made this conservative and traditional man a little overwhelmed.

He was too embarrassed to ask, why are you looking at me like this, is there something dirty on my face?

He could only hold it in.

He was so embarrassed that his face turned a little pale.

Xia Keqing propped her chin and admired the beauty of the thick thigh for a while, then blinked her eyes, and said something flirtatious, “Brother Shen, you’re really handsome.”

“You’re completely different from what I imagined.”

Shen Jichuan pursed his lips, his ears turned red, he pretended to be indifferent and said, “Hmm.”

“You’re also different from what I imagined.”

He originally thought that the girl his parents chose would be like his mother, a honest and down-to-earth woman who would be able to settle down with him in the future.

The difference was, she was ambitious, willing to study, and would definitely be better at educating children than his mother.

This was a good thing.

But Xia Keqing was completely different from what he imagined.

Of course, this difference was better.

He looked at her bright eyes, and his chest inexplicably felt hot.

Shen Jichuan knew he didn’t dislike this feeling.

Instead, he was very happy.

This trip was worth it.

The window called out their ticket number, Shen Jichuan took the initiative to get the dumplings, Xia Keqing also stood up to help.

But with Shen Jichuan there, she had no use.

Just then, she suddenly heard a voice.

“Xia Keqing, your fiancé has come to see you, and you only treat him to a bowl of dumplings? That’s too stingy!”
