Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 115: Husband and Wife in Truth

Because of Ding Ancheng’s arrival, Li Hongying added a special dish for dinner, slicing the previously marinated salted meat into thin pieces, and then adding an egg to make a bowl of steamed salted meat and egg, which was incredibly appetizing.

When the salted meat was steamed, the fatty parts became translucent, and the lean parts turned pink. Combined with the springy meat skin, Yi Roujing could eat two bites of rice with one slice of meat, it was irresistibly delicious.

"Tomorrow I’ll take Jing to the county town to buy a house. When the time comes, let’s all go to the county town," Ding Ancheng calmly dropped a bombshell after dinner.

"You young folks can go if you like, your mom and I will stay home," Ding Weihuo chuckled as he regained his composure, "Come back often when you can rest, let her cook for you."

"I’ll stay home too," Anmin said, "I’ll work and read with Xingchen, and go to the county town to see you when I’m free."

"I’ve already inquired about a few places for you. The food factory, textile factory, and brewery all have temporary positions available. Where would you like to go?" Ding Ancheng asked.

Ding Anmin’s eyes lit up, but then dimmed slightly when she thought of Xia Xingchen. After what happened this morning, who knows what might happen in the future. With her sister-in-law going to the county town, she couldn’t leave him behind in the team.

"The document for Xia’s return to the city should be ready in a few days," Ding Ancheng added.

"Really!" Ding Anmin immediately perked up, "Xingchen, that’s great."

Xia Xingchen also smiled, but then thinking of... "Ancheng, if I go to Huaixi County, will I still have a chance to return to Jing City in the future?"

"Of course." Ding Ancheng replied without hesitation, in a few days Gu Shizhao should be able to return to Jing City. If after he returns there’s no way to bring Xia Xingchen back, what was all that effort for? Just voluntary work?

Li Hongying’s eyes were filled with both joy and worry, "You all have to work, I don’t even know if you’ll be able to eat properly."

"Mom, why don’t you and dad come with us to cook for us?" Yi Roujing suggested.

Li Hongying laughed, "Your dad and I can’t stay idle, we’ll wait here for you to come home for dinner, can’t wait."

Ding Weihuo echoed, "We’re used to the work in the fields, a day without it feels odd. We’ll visit you in the county town during the off-season."

"I’ve asked someone to look for some suitable work for your age group, once it’s settled, we’ll come to get you," Ding Ancheng said.

"Hey, Ancheng, don’t trouble yourself over us old folks," Ding Weihuo waved his hand, "Honestly, if we go, we won’t know anyone there. It’s more comfortable staying here in the team."

"How would you know if you haven’t lived there?" Ding Ancheng didn’t accept this.

"If you and Roujing have a child, then perhaps we could move in to take care of them," Li Hongying smiled.

Being urged for a child, Yi Roujing lowered her head in shock.

Ding Ancheng smiled at this, "Yes, we will."

"I’m, I’m full." Yi Roujing, her face heated up, quickly got up and left amidst everyone’s laughter.

"Brother, what kind of temporary jobs are those factories offering?" Ding Anmin asked with concern, "I want to learn some skills."

"The food factory and brewery are both looking for accountants. Their old accountant retired, and the person the family replaced him with couldn’t manage and struggled even after learning a bit. So they wanted to hire a temp to share the workload," Ding Ancheng explained.

"The food factory has more people, the workload at the brewery is a bit lighter."

"But my sister-in-law works at the food factory’s hospital. If I go, I’ll have company," Ding Anmin said, "So I’d rather go to the food factory. Having worked in a large factory, smaller ones shouldn’t be a problem afterward."

Ding Ancheng nodded, "Okay."

"Ancheng, what will I be doing in the county town?" Xia Xingchen asked somewhat anxiously.

"Your arrangement is made by Gu Shizhao, I’m not too sure about it," Ding Ancheng replied. Hearing this, Xia Xingchen blushed and thought of what Gu Shizhao had told her last time.

"Anmin, I, I’ll head back to my room now."

"Tomorrow, Roujing and I will first go to my mother-in-law’s house. I’ve found an apprenticeship for my third brother-in-law, also at the food factory," Ding Ancheng said honestly.

"That’s the way it should be," Ding Weihuo nodded repeatedly, "If you have the opportunity, keep an eye on Roujing’s elder brother and second brother in the future."

"Yes," Ding Ancheng replied and then got up to return to his room.

"It seems like everyone in the family suddenly became workers," Ding Anmin felt a bit surreal.

The atmosphere in the Ding Family was very harmonious, but it wasn’t so at the Lotus Production Team. Li Xipei got furious when he found out Li YunGen hadn’t gotten the job done and had the nerve to come asking for medical expenses, so angry that he had Li Xijun beat him up.

However, Li Xipei didn’t realize that the retaliation of small-minded people sometimes knows no bounds.

"By the way, how did your hand get injured? Were you too diligent cutting grass?" After freshening up, Ding Ancheng naturally handed the dry towel in his hand to Yi Roujing, then lay down on her lap, "Wipe my left hand."

"Okay," Yi Roujing vented some of her frustration by using a bit of force, yet Ding Ancheng didn’t utter a sound of pain, causing Yi Roujing to lighten her touch.

After drying Ding Ancheng’s hair, Yi Roujing lay on the inside yawning, ready to sleep.

"What do you think of what mom just said?"

"What do you mean?" Yi Roujing was puzzled.

"Having a child," Ding Ancheng turned sideways and pulled her into his arms, then rolled over and pressed down on her.

Yi Roujing, panicking, stiffened, her hands instinctively pushing against Ding Ancheng’s chest, "Isn’t it too, too, too fast?"

"I told you last time, I won’t stop," Ding Ancheng lowered his head, kissing gently, starting from Yi Roujing’s forehead, tenderly, with a sense of cherishing, easily lowering her guard.

...

Satisfied, Ding Ancheng helped tidy up, pouring out the hot water from the thermos, considerately wiping Yi Roujing clean.

When he saw the finger marks on the pale and slender waist of Yi Roujing, he frowned in annoyance, then his movements became gentler. After cleaning up, he held the already asleep Yi Roujing in his arms, smiling gently as he closed his eyes.

The next day, Yi Roujing woke up late. When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was already bright. She reached for the watch beside the needle, and gosh, it was 9 o’clock. Startled, she sat up with a jerk, only to fall back down with an "ow."

Soreness, akin to the symptoms of muscle soreness from the second day of exercise or martial arts training she used to do.

"Awake?" Ding Ancheng came in as soon as he heard the commotion, sat on the bed, and pulled her into his arms, "Where are you uncomfortable? Let me massage it for you."
