After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 122

Just when the plans fell short of the changes, the wedding originally planned for the end of the year could now only be moved up by two months.

In the afternoon, Pei Jing and Zhao Xin came back, Zhao Xin carrying two big fish, one of which was half an arm long, and the other one was half bigger.

Although Pei Jing didn't catch any rabbits, he brought back a pheasant.

Just in time there was boiling hot water in the kettle. One of them went to kill the chicken and the other went to kill the fish. Zhi Xia and Pei Meng were in the kitchen washing vegetables and preparing what was needed.

There was plenty of meat today, so they didn't need to save it.

Pei Jing took a fish head and went next door to borrow Lin Fengxia's hot pot stove, Zhi Xia used the pheasant to make soup stock and cooked a hot pot. Zhao Xin brought a large piece of beef, which he had begged from the cooking unit with great effort.

After all, today was to discuss his wedding, so the protagonist could not be stingy.

Zhi Xia cut the beef into strips and marinated it, then set it aside for later use. Pei Meng also washed napa cabbage hearts and white radish.

The remaining fish head and half body were made into chopped pepper fish head, while the remaining fish tail and the other fish body were fried into fish nuggets.

At the dinner table, Zhi Xia was naturally quiet, and Pei Meng was also shy and embarrassed to speak, so only Pei Jing and Zhao Xin were talking about the wedding.

He had applied for the house long ago. Tomorrow he would go to urge the team leader again to approve it as soon as possible. It would be good to get married in winter. Maybe next year he could hold a chubby baby boy.

Zhao Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and drank some wine with Pei Jing while talking. But he didn't dare to drink too much.

Zhao Xin’s family conditions were also good. He had two older brothers above him, so the bride price would definitely be higher than for his sister-in-law. But this was not very important, because Zhao Xin had his own money, and he had also saved some over the years.

After eating and drinking enough, Pei Jing said to Zhao Xin, "Why don't you take Mengmeng out for a walk? She's been cooped up at home for a few days since she came, and hasn't gone anywhere. It's a good chance to get familiar with the surrounding environment."

"Okay." Zhao Xin looked at Pei Jing gratefully, already eager in his heart. When he turned to look at Pei Meng, there was still a hint of shyness, "Mengmeng, let me take you out for a walk?"

Pei Meng looked at the table full of leftovers. Although she also wanted to go out in her heart, she still restrained herself and said, "Let's not go."

Her aunt was pregnant, and had been busy cooking all day today. It was not right to let her clean up alone after eating.

Pei Jing saw Pei Meng's expression and guessed her thoughts. He said, "Don't worry, I'll clean up the table later. I won't tire out your aunt."

"Okay then." Pei Meng finally agreed.

Once out of the door, Zhao Xin asked the question in his heart, "Your uncle seems to have changed a lot. I really can't imagine that after getting married, he would become such a good homemaker."

A few days ago, he even saw him carrying clothes to the river to wash, although this was common in the army, but which of the other big men going to wash clothes was not a bachelor?

Those who married a wife basically let go of everything and didn't care at all. Just going home to collect money every month was enough.

Pei Meng was not stupid at all, on the contrary, she was very clever in her heart. She just took this opportunity to test, "How could that be? My uncle is the best man in the world, thoughtful and caring. Except that he is not good at cooking, he is almost perfect."

Of course, the actual performance was definitely not as exaggerated as Pei Meng said.

Zhao Xin immediately understood her meaning, "Mengmeng, don't worry. I will definitely learn from uncle and cherish you in the future."

The bride had not been brought home yet, so she had to be treasured a little, and catered a little. As for after the wedding, after the initial honeymoon period, it would depend on the compatibility between the two.

It was not reasonable for one person to do nothing, earn money, do housework, and let the other person take care of everything.

Pei Meng shyly turned her face to one side, "Who wants you to cherish me, I'm not lacking care."

"Isn't it better to have one more person caring for you?"

As the two spoke sugary words, they walked farther and farther.

Pei Jing was never the kind of all talk and no action. He let Zhi Xia rest and briskly cleaned up the table himself.

Before he had time to wash the bowls and chopsticks he put in the kitchen, he heard a crisp, fluttering sound outside, as if someone had fallen into the water.

Pei Jing was shocked. He hurriedly wiped his hands and went out. He saw Zhi Xia was also at the door.

"The ground is frozen outside and very slippery. Don't go out. I'll go see what's up." It was Shen Hongxing’s voice coming from next door. Pei Jing said and went over.

Then he didn't come back.

It was when Lin Fengxia came back that Zhi Xia knew what had happened.

Shen Hongxing’s eldest son fell into an ice hole while fishing. Zhao Xin, who had just gone out, was pulled by a group of children to rescue him. Both of them were now sent to the hospital.

Pei Jing and Pei Meng took the army vehicle to the hospital. The situation was still unknown.

Zhi Xia's heart tightened. If it was someone else who fell into the water, she might have thought it was just an accident.

But it involved Shen Hongmei and Shen Hongxing, the pair of sisters, plus what Pei Jing had told her these past few days, she couldn't help but start theorizing.

After all, she herself was a special existence, with both space and trading devices that were unusual. And the trading device’s judgment of Shen Hongmei, it was normal for her to think more.

Zhi Xia could do nothing now, she could only hope that the two who fell into the water would be safe.

It was only at noon the next day that Pei Jing came back with the army vehicle. Fortunately, both were rescued, but the fall into the icy water caused great damage to Zhao Xin’s body. He inevitably became seriously ill. Pei Meng stayed in the hospital to take care of him.

Shen Hongxing’s son had been in the water longer, and was still a half-grown child, so he was not so fortunate. Although his life was saved, the child was still unconscious now, and the specifics could only wait and see.

Pei Jing had to go over again to bring them some living supplies, since the two had nothing there, they had to live somehow.

Since Zhi Xia was pregnant, and the roads were slippery after the recent snow, she didn't mention going to visit them, so as not to cause more trouble.

She gave Pei Jing 20 yuan, and also gave him all the meat tickets at home, so that Pei Meng could take good care of Zhao Xin there.

After caring for Zhao Xin for three days, the two finally came back, but Zhao Xin's body still needed recuperation for a period of time. To reward him for saving lives, the army approved the house he had applied for in advance, next to Lin Fengxia's, very close to Zhi Xia’s.

Although Zhi Xia was still forbidden by Pei Jing to go out, at least she could help with cooking. She was good at cooking, and specially asked the genius doctor sister to teach her medicated meals to nourish Zhao Xin's body. Except for coming back to get meals, Pei Meng also stayed there to take care of Zhao Xin.

Pei Jing even joked with him to hurry up and get the marriage certificate once he could move, so as to legitimize their relationship.

In recent days, Shen Hongxing had been in a daze, also lacking in spirit. Every day after cooking for her child, she would just sit motionless at the door, not minding the cold.

Yang Jun was waiting on their son who fell into the water at the hospital, and would not be back for seven or eight days.

But unfortunately, the child who had been happily playing snowball fights just a while ago, had become an idiot.
