I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 175: This Strong Survival Ability

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: This Strong Survival Ability

The dormitory she was assigned to wasn’t as small as she’d imagined.

The Principal had deliberately said the dormitory was small, not wanting Yu Jingting to follow along.

But the room was indeed very simple.

Just a wobbly single bed with iron frames, nothing else.

Red brick floor, sanitary wall.

Sanitary wall, half green and half white, this was how city dwellers "decorated" their homes these days.

The green part was painted with paint, and the reason only half was painted was because this area was most likely to be rubbed against, to prevent the white wall from getting dirty, therefore it’s called "sanitary wall".

Suizi took a deep breath and didn’t smell the paint, instead the unique scent of dust in the empty room.

Yu Jingting shook the iron-framed bed with his hand, and the bed made a creaking sound.

"This won’t do. Making a little noise would alert the neighbours."

"...???" What kind of noise, care to explain?

"Besides, with your build, can this bed withstand it?" Yu Jingting took a glance at his beautiful wife, and he was very satisfied with Suizi’s weight.

A symbol of family wealth, how great.

"It’s your child who’s heavy!"

"Were you skinny when you weren’t pregnant?"

There’s a price to pay for telling an unfortunate truth.

Suizi pounded him with a flurry of small fists like a rain storm, and after the pounding, she even wanted to top it off with a Mount Tai-like smash.

Considering that the only wooden bed at home did not appear sturdy, she had to give up the idea.

The dormitory was just one room, the kitchen and toilet were shared, and for bathing, one had to go to the public bathhouse.

For Yu Jingting, who was accustomed to spacious rural life, this place was as small as a pigeon cage and he found it hard to adapt.

Each room was side by side, if people in this room spoke a little louder, the people in the next room could hear it.

Suizi was also not very satisfied.

She wanted to bring her mother-in-law and Jiaojiao to the city as soon as possible, but the dormitory provided limited space. If her mother-in-law came to the city, adding another bed to this room and the entire family squeezing together would make life very inconvenient.

Suizi had thought this through, expecting the school to provide her with an extra dormitory was unrealistic.

There were only five official employees in the night school, and only a few dormitories were built. If more people were hired in the future, there would not be enough rooms for everyone, so there was no way they could spare another for her.

But for now, there’s no other choice, they can only make do and stay here.

The dormitory did have its advantages. It was adjoined to the staff residential area of the sugar factory and shared a boiler room with them, providing communal heating.

In the room, there were two large iron panel heaters. These were warmer than the stoves burned in the countryside, and she only needed to wear a sweater in the room and did not have to put on a padded jacket.

When Wang Mengmeng came to find Suizi, Suizi was tidying up her clothes.

She had brought a camphorwood box from her old home and placed it in the corner as a wardrobe.

The clothes of the two of them were neatly placed inside, and a bar of soap was tucked at the bottom, making all the clothes smell nice.

"Where’s your man?" Wang Mengmeng, feeling at home, gnawed at a big radish while standing on the porch.

"He’s gone out for a stroll. Sorry, the room is a mess and there’s no place for you to sit."

"It’s fine, I can stand. You’re really efficient at getting things done."

Wang Mengmeng admired Suizi for folding her clothes so neatly.

"I just throw my clothes in the box, they get messed up after I fold them, so I simply leave them be. My mom always says that with my sloppiness, I won’t be able to get married in the future."

"It shouldn’t be that bad."

"I really envy your domestic skills, ah, I’ll definitely learn more from you in the future."

Suizi smiled without saying anything.

These sorts of polite remarks should just be heard, and not taken seriously.

Wang Mengmeng was at Suizi’s place for half a day, and chattered ceaselessly, giving Suizi a headache.

If it weren’t for Yu Jingting’s return, Suizi wondered if she might have stayed for lunch.

"Brother-in-law, where did you get all these stuff from?" Wang Mengmeng came out of Suizi’s house with a glass jar.

Yu Jingting looked around and confirmed that no one else was around.

"Are you calling me?"

If he wasn’t mistaken, what this woman was carrying, it was Suizi’s homemade pickles, right?

Yu Jingting had brought back a truckload of old furniture with a tractor, leaving Wang Mengmeng in awe.

Don’t rural folks usually tread carefully when they move to the city, taking a long time to adapt?

But this was too impressive, he managed to bring back a pile of stuff after a short while?

Yu Jingting moved the planks from the broken bed. Suizi also wanted to help, but he held her small hand and pulled her aside, dragging over a small stool for her to sit on.

"Stay in the circle, don’t come out and mess around."

Suizi blinked, was she being "sealed" again?

Influenced by Journey to the West, Yu Jingting liked to "draw circles" to seal Suizi in.

Wang Mengmeng saw that it was time to move things, so she hurriedly made an excuse to go back to her room, not even having the time to chat.

"Where did the bed come from?" Suizi asked curiously.

"I helped someone move in the government compound, they didn’t want it, there’s also a cupboard, I’ll go get it in a bit."

Yu Jingting was someone who could not sit still and was quick on his feet.

He originally wanted to find a place to buy a bed or get some planks to make a double bed himself. He took the tractor for a round, but did not bring enough money with him.

To buy the tractor, he and Suizi were almost left penniless.

This time, they brought less than two hundred yuan, but that was for emergencies and couldn’t be touched.

Unable to buy a new one, he stayed at the furniture section of the Department Store. These days, even buying furniture needed tickets. Waiting for one or two days, it was not guaranteed that someone would buy. The sales clerk had nothing to do and started knitting.

Luckily, he met someone who came to buy a bed. Yu Jingting saw that the person was dressed formally and didn’t look ordinary, so he asked if he needed help moving things.

Having agreed on a price, he made some money and also took the unwanted furniture from the person’s house back with him.

With these impressive survival skills, Suizi was amazed.

"I think, even if I threw you into the desert, you would survive." How could such a miraculous species adapt to such harsh environments!

"No, that place lacks water - but if I brought you, then it’s not a problem."

While moving the bed, Yu Jingting did not forget to tease her.

"Tears can’t be drunk!!! They’re salty!" Suizi thought he was referring to her tearful tendencies and refuted with annoyance.

However, the man mischievously glanced at her chest, making Suizi feel like he had undressed her with his gaze!

Her little face instantly turned red. She clutched her clothes as if this could stop his lechery.

Yu Jingting carried the furniture into the room, and only then did Suizi relax her tense little hand, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t say anything lewd.

Just when she was relieved, her ears turned hot.

A warm breath swirled into her ear canal, making her face turn completely red.

"Why would I drink the salty one when there’s a sweet one - as long as our baby doesn’t mind me stealing his snacks."

"!!!!!!"

Suizi covered her ears and glared at him, too shocked to make a sound by his shamelessness.

Yu Jingting, who had teased his wife, laughed loudly, got on the tractor, and went to get the cupboard.

Standing by the window, Wang Mengmeng ate the pickles Suizi gave her and shook her head:

"These rural people just like to take advantage of small gains, they just bring used furniture into their homes without knowing if it’s clean or not, it’s really..."
