The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 219: Preliminary Ideas

Cheng Xue really feels heartache every time she thinks about this embarrassing incident, it’s too shameful.

She was full of sincerity to carry out a rescue mission, fully enthusiastic, when the unexpected happened suddenly.

Both were injured, but her aunt was injured heroically rescuing someone, while she was doomed because of misfortune.

After being sent back, she wouldn’t let her family tell anyone about her situation and hid at home for two whole months.

Just as she was mentally prepared to return to the army, she received the transfer order Jiang Peng brought back. To be honest, she felt a bit relieved at that moment.

Well, having her own family know about the embarrassment is better than being laughed at by outsiders. She decisively abandoned her brother and came to her uncle and cousin’s embrace.

And her old buddy, Wang Jia Bao, was there too.

Thinking of her buddy, Cheng Xue took out a bundle of money rolled in newspaper from her pocket. It was a scattered sum, she wasn’t sure how much, "Here, this is from Jia Bao for you. You didn’t tell him about your injury, right? Sorry, I accidentally let it slip... He’s on a mission, let me bring this money to you, buy some... um... pig brain to nourish yourself."

Pig brain? Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but twitch her lips. That brat, who knows how he’s talking about her behind her back.

However, looking at the neat and tidy bills, she knew it was all his savings. That brat, he still cares about her in his heart.

"Do you know when he’ll be back?" Wang Miaomiao held the money in her hand, feeling its warmth. She hadn’t contacted her brother in a long time and thought of him fondly.

Cheng Xue shook her head, "Secret."

Wang Miaomiao responded with an ’oh’ and didn’t ask anymore.

Just then, Jiang Yan came over with two bowls of noodles, "Have some noodles first. You came so hurriedly, make do for now."

"Great, Uncle’s cooking is unbeatable, hehe..." Cheng Xue took it and started eating without caring about her image.

Jiang Huilan politely thanked, "Thank you, Uncle."

In contrast, Jiang Yan frowned and glanced at Cheng Xue, about to say something when Wang Miaomiao pulled his hand.

Wang Miaomiao blinked at him and shook her head slightly. Jiang Yan pursed his lips but held back his reprimand and sat next to Wang Miaomiao, under the table, playing with her small hand, seizing the opportunity for some flirtation.

Wang Miaomiao ignored his little moves and smiled at Cheng Xue, "Xiao Xue, eat slowly. I’m already full, I won’t compete with you."

Hearing this, Cheng Xue took a big sip of soup and swallowed everything in her mouth before grumbling, "The training volume is big recently, I’m exhausted and especially hungry. I don’t know what’s gotten into my uncle, throwing me into a group of men to train, hmph..."

"Xiao Xue, sorry, my dad..." Jiang Huilan felt uncomfortable listening, her bestie was suffering because of her dad, and she couldn’t help her.

Hearing her bestie’s baffling apology, Cheng Xue said speechlessly, "What’s it got to do with you? Stop apologizing randomly, just eat up."

"I’ve always had a small appetite, can’t eat so much. How about I give you some more?" Jiang Huilan, happy to see her bestie not acting distant, gave her some of her noodles, just what she needed, since she couldn’t finish them.

After all, it was cooked by her uncle, she wouldn’t dare waste it.

"Enough, enough, eating so little like a kitten, no wonder you’re so weak and skinny." Cheng Xue stopped her from giving too much, knowing she really couldn’t eat it all, helping her out a bit but not too much.

Wang Miaomiao watched their interaction with a smile, thinking about her big brother’s actions, speculating, "I guess my brother means well. He thought you’ve gotten rusty, couldn’t dodge a small stone, so he wants to train you."

"That was an accident, who says I couldn’t dodge it, hmph... makes me so angry." Cheng Xue puffed up, eating her noodles angrily.

"Hmph, don’t make excuses, weren’t there many with you? Why was it only you got hurt? It’s cause you’re weak, don’t deny. Big brother’s training is for your good, others can’t even beg him for extra training." Jiang Yan stated the truth matter-of-factly.

Then, Cheng Xue wilted.

After dinner, Wang Miaomiao was dragged into the room by the two sisters, Jiang Yan looked at the closed door helplessly.

Those two little troublemakers, hmph... after dinner, it should’ve been their time for a nice walk and chat, all ruined by those two.

In the room, Jiang Huilan hesitated, "Why do I feel Uncle’s face didn’t look good?"

Cheng Xue didn’t care, "When does he ever look nice, ignore him."

Wang Miaomiao naturally knew why he had that face, smiled slightly, "Right, don’t mind him. He’s getting older, cranky, always with a black face, hehe..."

"Really, no wonder, must be hard for you being with him all day, tough on you." Cheng Xue winked mischievously.

The three shared a knowing laugh. They chattered about him some more, their bond seemingly growing even warmer and closer.

Wang Miaomiao took out some snacks from the cupboard, went out to make three cups of malted milk, washed fruits, and the tea party officially began.

After not seeing each other for months, they seemed to have endless topics, chatting about everything under the sun.

Girls’ topics are always strange and varied, especially about Wang Miaomiao buying real estate with her money, it sparked many ideas.

When Wang Miaomiao talked about women’s financial independence, not relying solely on men, and always leaving a way out for oneself, it got the two thinking, like a new door had opened for them.

Especially Jiang Huilan, who seemed to think a lot, when the three lay in bed, ready to sleep, she suddenly said, "Auntie, Xiao Xue, how about... we three open a shop for fun?"

"Sure..." Cheng Xue, always impulsive, said whimsically, "What shop are you thinking? I’ll invest three thousand." That’s her life savings from childhood, truly a generous gesture.

Wang Miaomiao was more rational, "Why did you think of opening a shop? What kind of shop?"

"I... just wanted to earn some money for security." Jiang Huilan didn’t know why but blushed a bit, stammering.

Seeing this, Wang Miaomiao didn’t press further and asked again, "What kind of shop do you want to open?"

"I’m not too sure, what do you two think?" Jiang Huilan hesitated, she only had a vague idea, needing more information to determine the most reliable approach.

"Sell food, as long as you’re good at cooking, it’s definitely a profit-making business." Cheng Xue, only thinking of food and fun, could only think of food.

Wang Miaomiao had thought about this too, she didn’t want to be so stressed about business alone, if someone helped, everyone together, hitching a ride, wouldn’t be bad.

"Actually, now with our country rebuilding, any business, well managed, makes money. I have a few ideas, listen..."
