Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 312 The Empire I Conquered for You

On second thought, I realized my operation was incorrect. (Vertex x23us)

She was there to invite Xie Chang'an to dinner, not to steal anything, so she immediately made her move with an air of nonchalance.

Xie Chang'an woke up when Luo Ning got up. Listening to her busy in the kitchen and smelling the faint aroma, he felt that nothing could be more beautiful than this.

The person I love is by my side; she's the last thing I see before I fall asleep every night, and she's the first thing I see when I wake up.

Waking up to the aroma of food in the morning, especially food made by the woman I love, makes me incredibly happy.

Xie Chang'an suddenly remembered something: he needed to learn how to cook.

Xiao Ning is currently taking care of his three meals a day, and he will take care of Xiao Ning in the future.

Luo Ning entered the bedroom and found Xie Chang'an with his eyes open, his eyes clear and bright, indicating that he had been awake for some time.

She wasn't surprised at all; Xie Chang'an was a light sleeper, and he would wake up if she turned over in bed at night...

"Commander Xie, get up and eat!" Luo Ning walked to the bedside and lifted the covers.

The air quickly became ambiguous, and it got used to it.

Luo Ning then opened the wardrobe, picked up a white shirt with his left hand and a blue shirt with his right, and waved them around. "Commander Xie, pick one out!"

Xie Chang'an immediately chose the white one, showing unusual persistence.

Luo Ning shrugged and put the blue shirt back. If she had to choose, she would definitely choose the blue one.

Xie Chang'an, being a man of this era, immediately picked out a trendy item: a Dacron shirt.

This outfit is very fashionable right now, but it has one major flaw.

It's not breathable! It's nowhere near as comfortable as any cotton shirt.

Did I make the wrong choice? Xie Chang'an muttered to himself, he really liked that white one.

Luo Ning brought a pair of jeans and a rather inconspicuous belt to the bedside and helped Xie Chang'an change into them.

I inexplicably felt captivated by his handsomeness. If Xie Chang'an were to enter the entertainment industry, he would undoubtedly be the undisputed number one in terms of popularity.

Up to ninety-nine years old, scared even toddlers who can just walk, it's a killer!

After Xie Chang'an put on the jeans, he felt completely comfortable.

Before this, Xiao Ning always dressed him in very loose pants, and he liked all kinds of them; he liked anything Luo Ning gave him.

Luo Ning bent down, picked up Xie Chang'an, and placed him in the wheelchair. She pushed him to the dressing mirror and said to the person in the mirror, "Commander Xie, do you like it?"

Xie Chang'an nodded with joy, earnestly stating that he would work hard to earn money to buy clothes for Xiao Ning.

His gaze fell on Luo Ning's light blue loungewear, and he asked curiously, "Xiao Ning, what are you wearing?"

Luo Ning thought for a while and then pulled out a set of sportswear from the closet, the kind with long sleeves and pants.

Xie Chang'an was a little puzzled. Why wear such thick clothes when the weather is so hot?

Luo Ning seemed not to understand Xie Chang'an's confusion. She picked up her clothes and went to the guest room to change. She then casually brought back a new pair of Warrior shoes and thin white cotton socks for Xie Chang'an to wear. These things had been prepared for many years and were finally put to good use.

Xie Chang'an looked at the white socks with curiosity. So that's what socks are like...

"Xiao Ning, these shoes must be very expensive, right?"

Luo Ning squatted down in front of the chair to tie her shoelaces, pointed out the window and said to Xie Chang'an, "Look what's outside?"

Xie Chang'an looked up and saw the rice paddies gradually turning yellow and the majestic green mountains...

The rice is almost ripe, what should we do with so much of it?

Luo Ning straightened Xie Chang'an's trouser legs and pushed him outside, saying, "Outside is the entire empire I conquered for you!"

Xie Chang'an's lips curled slightly; his little wife was playing around again.

"We have different roles in the revolution. You are responsible for the country and the family, and I am responsible for you!"

Money is an external thing; you can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. The only meaning of earning money is to spend it!

Our goal is to pursue a high quality of life without wasting anything!

Luo Ning secretly thought to herself that she hadn't worked hard enough to earn enough for the family, which was why Xie Chang'an was so concerned about the price issue.

I wonder how the house search went for Qiangzi. Right now, she's so eager to make money and escape poverty that she's practically eating several large bowls of rice...

Xie Chang'an sat at the head of the table, watching Luo Ning bring out all the delicious food, and felt a pang of heartache. "Xiao Ning, why did you make so much?"

"You need to eat your fill to have the strength to go out and beat the dogs!" Luo Ning placed the porridge in front of Xie Chang'an and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

She divided the food into portions for the two of them, and planned to take the rest away.

Xie Chang'an took the chopsticks and put a gourd cake on Luo Ning's plate, placing it in the empty bowl beside her. "You've worked hard, eat more!"

"Okay!" Luo Ning readily agreed, rolled up a pancake, put meat sauce inside, and placed it in Xie Chang'an's empty bowl.

Xie Chang'an's eyes lit up; this was his favorite food.

Although Luo Ning cooked during her hospital stay, the dishes were different from what she made at home.

The dishes today are exactly the same as those from my hometown, making my mouth water.

Xie Chang'an picked up the pancake, rolled it with vegetables, and took a bite without waiting.

Hmm, it's the same feeling, the same familiar taste.

Luo Ning's eyebrows curved into a smile; she had guessed correctly—Xie Chang'an liked this.

Luo Ning also enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal. His own soil, his own vegetables, and his own cooking skills made the food taste especially good.

The gourd cakes are sweet and refreshing with a rich aroma. The fried fish are crispy, tender, and have no fishy smell at all. Her favorite dish is stir-fried gizzards with pickled cowpeas, which are crisp, tender, and refreshing with a sour and spicy flavor, making it the perfect accompaniment to rice.

"Xiao Ning, your cooking is really good. I've eaten at state-run restaurants before, but none of them are as delicious as yours!" Xie Chang'an praised sincerely. Apart from the pancake rolls and millet porridge, everything else was something he was eating for the first time, but he couldn't get enough of them.

"It's alright, it's just a drizzle!" Luo Ning let loose, eating with her mouth full of oil.

Seeing that Luo Ning was in a good mood, Xie Chang'an started nagging again, "Xiao Ning, when are you going to steam the buns?"

"Tomorrow!" Luo Ning said casually, without taking it seriously at all.

Xie Chang'an knew that it was all over when he saw her like this, and his obsession with steamed buns only deepened!

When he took a bite of the steamed bun, he was internally screaming, "I don't want to eat steamed buns! I don't want to eat steamed buns..."

After dinner, Luo Ning pushed Xie Chang'an into the living room, turned on the TV, and handed him the remote control, saying, "Watch TV for a while, I'm going to wash the dishes!"

I don't know when I'll be back next time, so I need to clean the kitchen.

Oh, that was a television set! He noticed it as soon as he came in, but he never thought of it as a television.

It's so big, and it's hanging on the wall...

"Hmm..." Xie Chang'an nodded, and only turned his head after watching Luo Ning leave.

He was completely dumbfounded. Why was the TV displaying color, and why were the people on it so clear, without any static?

Luo Ning finished washing the dishes and came out carrying a basket. She found Xie Chang'an watching The Legend of Zhen Huan, specifically the part where Mei Zhuang falls into the Thousand Carp Pond. "Is the TV show good?" she asked.

Xie Chang'an nodded readily, "They're beautiful, and they come in all colors!"

Luo Ning's lips twitched as she prepared the things, feeling that Xie Chang'an watching palace dramas was a bit out of place.

Ever since Luo Ning came out, Xie Chang'an's gaze had been taken off the television, following Luo Ning's figure back and forth.

More than half an hour later, Luo Ning changed into sneakers, hung the bundle on the back of the wheelchair, put the food basket on the wheelchair's storage rack, turned off the TV, and pushed Xie Chang'an out.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Chang'an found himself in a quaint and elegant living room, a truly magical feeling.

"This is my new house. I asked Ming to have it renovated a while ago!" Luo Ning pushed Xie Chang'an's wheelchair around the room, answering Xie Chang'an's questions from time to time.

Xie Chang'an was amazed. His young wife's idea was truly ingenious. This place was similar to his home but also incorporated the characteristics of the times. It was decorated in an antique style, comfortable and beautiful, and each area had its own independent function.

The study, bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom were almost entirely based on the layout and decoration of Luo Ning's house. However, the items here were not as exquisite as those there, but they were still quite outstanding for this era.

Luo Ning looked out the window and noticed that Old Man Quan's house actually had a stone mill and bamboo. A glint of light flashed in her eyes.

A dozen minutes later, Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning left their new home and headed towards the battlefield of their destiny.
