After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 185 - 170 Want him to retire

"I think so too." Chen Bajin nodded and said.

She said to Gu Fuqiao, "Even though these days some couples don’t have great relationships, appearing loving on the surface but fighting behind closed doors, as for Yan, I always feel that he’s not someone who would have a change of heart."

Actually, Chen Bajin really hit the mark; Yan Zhen Guo truly is someone who wouldn’t change his heart.

Gu Fuqiao definitely believes this!

Gu Fuqiao laughed and said, "Alright, alright, my Old Yan is good to begin with, but your man isn’t bad either."

Hearing her husband’s name, Chen Bajin’s ears flushed red, and then she said, "Hey, I’m complimenting your Old Yan here, you’re something else..."

Gu Fuqiao held Chen Bajin’s hand and said, "Just taking the chance to compliment your Old Chen too, isn’t that okay?"

Though the market isn’t close, talking and laughing, the two quickly reached the market because they’d already decided what to buy previously, so after entering, they swiftly found a vegetable stall.

Gu Fuqiao looked at the tomatoes there and found them quite fresh. Tomatoes didn’t have any reddening agents back in those days, so buying and eating them was more reassuring. After picking a few tomatoes, she looked at the big pumpkin but hesitated to move.

"Young lady, this pumpkin is fresh and cheap, only three cents a pound, want some?" The vendor was a friendly middle-aged lady, warmly talking to Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao glanced at Chen Bajin and said helplessly, "Bajin, do you eat pumpkin?"

Chen Bajin shook her head and said, "Pumpkin is a bit sweet, I’m not much of a fan."

The lady laughed and said, "Eating pumpkins are good for you, ensures you both have two fair and chubby sons."

Gu Fuqiao quite wanted the pumpkin, but it was so large. Even when she wasn’t pregnant, she couldn’t lift it, and now being pregnant, it was impossible. So, she sighed and said, "Auntie, this pumpkin is so big; both of us are pregnant and can’t carry it."

"Ah, I see." The lady thought for a moment and then fetched a knife from the back, saying, "Why don’t I cut it for you, just a small piece to make it easier to take home, okay?"

Gu Fuqiao nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Auntie."

Indeed, kind people were more common back then. Gu Fuqiao remembered in later years when she wanted to buy a small piece of pumpkin, people wouldn’t cut it for her. Eventually, she had to buy premium pumpkins from the supermarket, which were cut into pieces but cost several times more.

Not only did this lady cut the pumpkin for Gu Fuqiao, but she also gave her the best part, from the center, which was convenient for handling back home.

"It’s just a pound, three cents is enough." The lady said as she packed the pumpkin and handed it to Gu Fuqiao.

Gu Fuqiao took five cents out of her pocket and handed it to the lady. When the lady was about to give change, Gu Fuqiao smiled and said, "No need to worry about the change, Auntie."

"How could that be right!" The lady shook her head and insisted, taking out two cents from the cash box, saying, "Girl, if you find it tasty, come to buy from me next time; the price is what it should be."

This lady was honest in her business, and Gu Fuqiao liked her very much, so she nodded and said, "Alright, if it’s delicious, I’ll come back."

Gu Fuqiao and Chen Bajin bought some more things and were planning to head home when Chen Bajin suddenly asked Gu Fuqiao if she planned to go back so early.

Gu Fuqiao glanced at her watch and said in surprise, "It’s already almost ten. You think that’s still early?"

"Yeah!" Chen Bajin nodded and then said in a somewhat coquettish tone, "Dear Ah Jiao, since it’s just the two of us for lunch, why don’t we not go back for lunch today? I’ve just got my manuscript fee..."

Gu Fuqiao laughed and said, "I get it, the keyword is in the latter half of that sentence! You want to take me out for lunch, isn’t that right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Bajin nodded quickly and pulled Gu Fuqiao along, saying there’s a new restaurant nearby where Sister Bei used to do her business, and it’s really good.

Gu Fuqiao thought there weren’t many people who cooked well nowadays. After all, it wasn’t long after hard times, and people were usually stingy with condiments.

However, the dishes at this restaurant really surprised Gu Fuqiao.

The restaurant was quite busy, and after writing down three dishes with a pencil, Chen Bajin handed it to the store owner and said, "Boss, just these three dishes."

However, the owner did not reach out to take it.

Gu Fuqiao looked up and found that the boss was looking at her, and this store owner was none other than!

Su Jili!

"Gu Fuqiao!"

"Su Jili!"

"Why is it you!" They both exclaimed simultaneously.

Chen Bajin knew Su Jili, and she was surprised too, saying, "I thought you went back home after discharge?"

"Oh! I initially planned to go home, but I went back once and then returned. Opened a store at home and another one here, all with Sister-in-law Yan’s advice." Su Jili said with a smile.

Gu Fuqiao shoved the written menu into Su Jili’s hand and said, "Impressive, Boss Su."

"Not bad, not bad. Keep a low profile." Su Jili said with a laugh, "Gu Fuqiao, I think you’re great, turning things into gold, truly."

Gu Fuqiao laughed at the idiom, "Su Jili, where did you learn this term? I haven’t thought of it. And it’s you who bought Sister Bei’s store, aren’t you going back home?"

Su Jili shook his head, "I don’t plan to go back. I’ve worked here for years, so I’m most familiar, and I decided to return here. Moreover, all my friends are here; going back home would be boring. Besides, my mom passed away last month..."

His voice dropped slightly here, but he quickly adjusted and told Gu Fuqiao, "You guys come often to support my business, this meal is on me."

"Hey, no need." Chen Bajin quickly refused, but Su Jili just took the menu inside.

Chen Bajin said to Gu Fuqiao, "Su Jili’s life after discharge has been lively, really great. If my Old Chen retires someday, maybe he should open a store too."

"Your Old Chen’s going to retire?" Gu Fuqiao said, surprised.

Chen Bajin waved her hand and said, "Probably not. I’m just occasionally thinking it would be nice if he could retire now. With you around, it’s great. Before, I often wanted Old Chen to retire."
