Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 1034: A Promise Must Not Be Broken

Zhao Jianjun immediately understood Xinyan’s concern and pointed to a wicker basket next to them: "We’ll use that to pack everything together in a bit."

Xinyan pulled out a handful of milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Zhao Jianjun’s hand: "Okay, I’ll take this basket. Share these candies with everyone. Thanks."

After speaking, she smiled as she put the fish in the basket and said to everyone, "I’m off, thanks for the basket."

She hadn’t reached the shore yet when He Jinxuan came over and took the basket from her hand: "You must be freezing."

Xinyan coquettishly tilted her face up and said, "I am frozen."

He Jinxuan quickly pulled her to the car and covered her with his cotton coat.

Xinyan looked at the cotton coat and suddenly raised her head to look at him, only to realize he was wearing different clothes. She quickly understood.

Lu Haibo, driving in front, said, "I said this guy insisted I bring him a cotton coat, so that’s what he was waiting for."

He then glanced in the rearview mirror at He Jinxuan, who was warming Xinyan’s hands: "You’re worried she’d freeze but left her there; you guys are really something."

He Jinxuan didn’t even glance at him and said, "Just focus on driving."

Of course, he didn’t want Xinyan to be there in the cold wind, but he knew that even if he had spoken out, Xinyan wouldn’t listen to him. So he just wanted Lu Haibo to drive out quickly to pick her up.

He hadn’t expected that Lu Haibo had something to do, which delayed things a bit. He could only have Lu Haibo lend him a cotton coat, taking off his own to keep Xinyan warm.

In fact, thanks to the adjustment from the Space Stream Water, Xinyan is more resistant to cold than the average person, but she wouldn’t explain that to the two of them.

Lu Haibo drove steadily, and the three of them chatted happily along the way until they soon arrived at the He Family.

He Jinxuan wanted Lu Haibo to stay for a meal, but Lu Haibo declined: "I finally got to come home, I need to have dinner with my mom, and I already called her before, so I can’t go back on my word."

Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan: "Let Haibo take the things you brought for Auntie back, it’ll add another dish for dinner."

He Jinxuan nodded and quickly brought the items out, handing them over: "We’ll come over tomorrow, you take these first."

Lu Haibo took them, saying: "You guys really don’t treat me like an outsider, good thing I get to enjoy a meal tonight, thanks."

With that, he laughed and got in the car: "You guys better go inside."

The reason Lu Haibo didn’t want to go in was that a long time ago, he had a conflict with the second son of the He Family, He Jian Country. Back then, He Jian Country was clearly at fault, but the old couple of the He Family were protective of their son and said some unpleasant things.

Even though they later apologized, it still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The car started, and with a step on the accelerator, it drove off just as Mother He chased after He Jinxuan outside: "Jinxuan, was that car the one that brought you back?"

He Jinxuan nodded slightly: "Yes."

Mother He craned her neck to look outside: "They were right at our door, why didn’t you invite them in for a meal?"

He Jinxuan didn’t elaborate and just replied: "He had other things to take care of, no time."

When Mother He heard this, she didn’t say more and smiled at Xinyan: "The meal’s almost ready, you two go inside and warm up, we’ll start eating when everyone arrives."

Xinyan smiled and handed over the wicker basket she was holding: "Let’s stew these two fish later."

Mother He saw the two big fish in the basket: "Where did they come from?"

As Xinyan walked back, she replied: "There’s a village by the Yuquan River doing winter fishing today, and someone from the Mechanical Factory took the chance to fish at the ice hole."

She didn’t say anything more.

He Jinxuan looked at her, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, thinking: This little girl’s fishing skills are truly amazing.

Mother He looked at the fish in the basket and smiled: "Indeed, it’s time to start winter fishing. Let’s tell Yuejin tonight and see if he has time in the next few days to go and take a look."

Indeed, every year as the twelfth lunar month begins, villages by the Yuquan River organize people for winter fishing. Many people from the city find time to go and buy some from the village team to keep for the New Year.

He Jinxuan heard this but didn’t respond. Even though they needed to go find Old Master Gu’s burial place tomorrow, if there wasn’t a village ice fishing, it would break their promise.

It would be better to just buy some if they happen to come across it tomorrow.
