Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2044: Chapter 2038: So Early

"Alright, you sleep, I’ll keep going." Chu Molin saw her drowsy expression and decided to let her sleep. He was still holding her arm, realizing he couldn’t let her get so exhausted anymore as it was affecting her health.

Besides work, they had training too. He knew the symptoms that appeared after overworking, so seeing his wife like this, Chu Molin felt concerned.

"Mm." Qin Xue responded, barely able to keep her eyes open, and after that one word, she didn’t make another sound.

"I told you not to work yourself so hard, but you never listen. Look, now you’re exhausted." Chu Molin sighed, and after Qin Xue’s breathing became steady and deep, he stopped what he was doing, carried her to bed, tucked her in, and lay down beside her.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Chu Molin got up. Even though he didn’t need to work today, he was used to exercising in the morning, so he went for a run anyway. Seeing his wife still sound asleep, Chu Molin moved quietly, making virtually no noise.

So Qin Xue didn’t know when Chu Moshuang got up. When she woke, she didn’t see the man beside her as usual.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t have to work, so why get up so early?" Qin Xue, just stepping out of the bedroom, saw Chu Molin returning, sweaty from his run, and asked with slight dissatisfaction.

"It’s a habit. I’m going to wash up." Chu Molin just smiled, knowing his wife was concerned for him.

"Okay." Qin Xue just wished he could rest more during his rare break, but since he couldn’t sleep, she didn’t force him. Everyone’s daily pattern is different, so it’s unnecessary to expect others to conform to yours.

In her past life, Qin Xue was too tired from work, so she basically never went out on her days off. She’d either sleep at home all day or brew a pot of tea or a cup of coffee and quietly stay home, going nowhere.

Since coming here, it seems even her habits have changed a bit.

So seeing Chu Molin like this, Qin Xue just let him be. While he freshened up, she decided to make breakfast.

Given that Chu Molin was home, she went into the space to catch a fish to make fish congee, which was Molin’s favorite. She caught two more so she could have him help make fish balls later, extra ones for him to take to Ye Xiao.

"Do you need any help?" Chu Molin was his usual fast self, arriving just in time to see his wife gutting fish.

Seeing the fish at home, Chu Molin finally got over his initial confusion. This was from his wife’s space creations, and now that he knew her secret, he didn’t ask silly questions like where the fish came from anymore.

"Sure, gut them all; I need them later. Of course, the work is yours; I need to make fish balls." Qin Xue realized her wording was off and added a sentence.

"As you command, my dear wife. Could you also make some jerky?" Chu Molin was thinking about the recent training intensity. Since they had nothing to research at the moment, Ye Xiao told them to focus on training and mentioned that there would be opportunities for advancement later on.

So Chu Molin felt that managing his team well was of utmost importance, but nutrition had to keep up, too. Fortunately, there weren’t too many newbies, or he would have really struggled.

Why did Chu Molin say there weren’t many? Because as each round of elimination happened, the number of people they kept gradually approached the intended number, which wasn’t many people at all.

"Sure, but not in the next couple of days. I’ll make some and bring it to you later." Qin Xue had to handle the store renovation in the next few days, leaving her no time for this.
