Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Sun Lizhen

Daqing listened with a big smile as his wife vented.

"I also went through that time, you have no idea how exhausting our daily training was.

Also, since we were orphans, food was particularly important to us.

We always looked forward to the end of training so we could eat.

But the chef was just like you said, the food he made was really terrible. We were always alternating between full and hungry. We cherished the opportunity, so no one complained.

Later on, as food became scarce, the chef made us go up the mountain to forage for ourselves. The food tasted way better afterward.

This situation changed only after our leader intervened.

The leader went and spoke with the chef specifically, and the food improved tremendously after that."

While eating and chatting, any awkwardness vanished between them.

After eating, they cleaned their lunch boxes at the cafeteria and headed back.

At home, Daqing helped with refilling the coal and stacking the firewood.

"I’m going back to the office. Don’t worry, this place is the safest, you don’t need to be afraid."

Sun Lizhen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I’m not afraid."

She felt a bit touched; they were already a married couple, and even if Daqing made requests she wouldn’t refuse.

But he respected her and left. Being a person like him deserves genuine treatment in the future.

It’s not easy for two people to build a family. She will surely treat him well and carefully manage this household.

Being the only one left at home, her excitement hadn’t diminished yet. She turned on all the lights in the rooms, walking around as if inspecting her territory.

There was plenty of hot water, and she wasn’t sleepy at all. So she pulled out her old clothes, bed sheets, covers, and pillowcases, thinking to wash them all.

She hummed a tune while doing laundry. The clothes on the outdoor clothesline would probably freeze in an hour or two.

Seeing so much hot water, she was like a little bee, heating the water little by little for a bath.

She washed thoroughly from top to bottom, feeling particularly relaxed.

She lay in the warm bed, smiling.

Early the next morning, before she woke up, she heard knocking on the door.

Last night, she slept so comfortably. No longer the cold bed, and alone, peaceful, she overslept.

She hurried to get dressed without even folding the quilt, slipping into her shoes to answer the door.

Daqing saw his wife with her hair down and smiled as he followed her into the courtyard.

Sun Lizhen went to the pit to fold the quilt. Daqing was outside lighting the stove. She must have missed refilling coal, so it went out overnight.

Sun Yuzhen exited with a smile to brush her teeth and wash her face.

"Why did you wash so many clothes?"

"Haha, I was too happy to sleep, so I washed clothes."

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, it’s much better than the cold bed."

Daqing prepared the lunch boxes, and they went to have breakfast together.

"The cafeteria still fries dough sticks?" Sun Lizhen saw someone bringing food back.

"Yes, two days a month they improve life, let’s go. If we go late, there will be none left."

No tofu pudding, but there’s millet porridge. Dough sticks with millet porridge, and some pickles.

Sun Lizhen felt truly delighted, eating with great satisfaction.

Walking back home, "You know, if you love dough sticks, there are four cafeterias where you can go get them. They don’t fry on the same day; it’s a benefit for everyone."

"I love them, but I’m too shy to go to all four cafeterias, so I’ll just go to two."

Daqing laughed, thinking that Sun Lizhen looked much younger now.

They returned home, where Sun Lizhen found her documents, preparing to register at the medical team.

"I’ll give you a ride, let’s bike over."

"You go ahead, I’m fine on my own."

Daqing shook his head, "I’d rather go with you. At the medical team, after you finish the procedures, you’ll need to register with personnel to get all the benefits here."

Sun Lizhen didn’t refuse; this way it’s perfect. She didn’t have to search blindly alone.

They arrived at the clinic, it was now run by Sun Yanhua.

Sun Lizhen’s documents were complete, so everything went smoothly here.

"Congratulations, Leader."

Daqing nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Captain Sun."

"With the leader accompanying, hurry and register with personnel.

Can Xiao Sun start work next Monday?"

Before Sun Lizhen could speak, Daqing interjected, "Captain Sun, we’re getting married on Sunday, maybe she could start Wednesday?"

The garrison has a rule granting newlyweds three days off.

Sun Yanhua smiled and nodded, "The medical team isn’t particularly busy now. Xiao Sun, you can start work on Thursday."

Sun Lizhen thanked the captain; both bearing the surname Sun felt a bit of kinship.

At the archives, there were no problems at all. With her complete paperwork, Sun Lizhen was essentially a member of the garrison’s medical team.

She received her benefits booklet and some issued supplies.

Sun Lizhen was thrilled, sitting in the rear seat, "The benefits here are wonderful. They’ve even given out so many things."

In front of the bike were Sun Lizhen’s assigned bedding, sheets, and pillows. She hugged a tub and other items sitting at the back.

Back home, "You can tidy up yourself, I’ll come by at noon to take you to lunch."

"You’re busy with work, no need to pick me up. I’ll head to the cafeteria by myself; you said it’s the safest place."

Daqing nodded with a smile, "Sure. If I have time, I’ll come by to get you. If I haven’t by 11:30, then head over yourself."

After giving instructions, Daqing went to work. There really was quite a backlog of work now.

But you get married only once in a lifetime, and none of this is incredibly important.

At home, Sun Lizhen tidied up and started sewing covers.

Originally, she considered making clothes, but thought it better to wear her old ones, favoring sewing covers.

Qi Yan and his siblings knew Uncle Daqing’s wedding day was set for Sunday, and they didn’t plan to return, choosing to wait at home for their parents.

Training hadn’t concluded on their end.

The three were immersed all day at their private training area.

Yu Haibin received the news too, starting preparations for the leader’s wedding again. Not exceptionally complicated, but he was quite excited for their arts team’s opportunity to perform again.

Su Yuanyuan still went to Xu Guozhi’s for a meal today.

Actually, those older ones still preferred having company during meals.

She noticed Xu Guozhi was particularly happy today.

"Leader, what’s going on?"

"Xiao Su, Xiao Hir’s match has been confirmed."

Su Yuanyuan looked at He Yuanhao, still the same, and smiled to congratulate him.
