I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 177: I Have Plenty of Solutions

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: I Have Plenty of Solutions

Yu Jingting pulled out a handful of candy from his pocket.

It was given to him by a family he helped move.

There were soft candies, hard candies, and rum candies. He didn’t want to eat them, so he thought of saving them for Suizi.

Suizi, momentarily lost control of her brain and upon seeing the candy, it reminded her of a punchline.

"I am the soft candy, you are the hard candy, together we are rum candy..."

After saying this, Suizi covered her mouth. Oh my, was this really her?

How could she say something like this?!

Yu Jingting was silent for three seconds, then gradually raised his eyebrow.

Could he be thinking what she was thinking?

"Teacher Xiaochen, you’re quite bold."

You’ve corrupted me! Suizi protested softly in her heart.

Being with this guy, she was no longer the innocent red scarf girl she was!

"Come on, let’s lean towards the rum candy~"

The bed is well repaired, the candy is sweet, they should not waste such precious time.

Yu Jingting’s adaptability far exceeded everyone’s expectations, including Suizi’s.

On the first day, he had furnished the home with wardrobes and beds.

The next day, he fiddled with a pile of wood and made a dining table and a bowl rack.

On the third day, the Principal was shocked to see him hammering iron in the courtyard.

No one knew where Yu Jingting had obtained a piece of iron sheet.

Suizi drew the blueprint, and he hammered the iron sheet, proposing to make a bath basin.

The difficulty of the assembly technique was too great. The young couple researched it for half a day but failed.

Although the iron basin was a failure, the young couple didn’t stop their tinkering.

With the remaining iron sheets, they fashioned several dustpans.

Upon seeing how well made the dustpans were, Wang Mengmeng wanted to get one from Suizi.

Suizi replied regretfully that it was a failure, the bottom would fall off when used, she firmly refused to bring trouble to her colleagues.

Yu Jingting took the dustpan and left.

When he came back, the dustpan was missing and he had a rib fan in his hand.

Both the Principal and Wang Mengmeng thought he must have sold the dustpan for cash.

Yu Jingting insisted he had just "thrown away the trash", and no one could do anything to him.

That night, the kitchen smelled of pork ribs stew.

The kitchen is shared, if one family cooks something delicious, the rest can see and smell it.

Wang Mengmeng was making boiled cabbage, but her eyes kept glancing at Suizi’s pot.

The scent of these stewed ribs filled the air, tempting both Wang Mengmeng and the Principal.

Northerners are all hospitable, if this kind of delicious food is at hand, they will invite people around to taste, so these two were waiting to taste it.

As Suizi served the glistening red pork ribs onto the plate, the Principal and Wang Mengmeng simultaneously swallowed.

"Chenchen, you’ve done well with your cooking."

The Principal implicitly suggested.

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up!" Yu Jingting rushed in like a bandit, grabbing the plate with one hand and pulling on Suizi’s arm with the other.

"The steamed rolls are getting cold, stop dawdling!"

The bandit-like tone successfully repelled the appetites of the Principal and Wang Mengmeng.

Yu Jingting scowled at Suizi, and then turned to the Principal with a "humble rural smile".

"Oh, the Principal is here too? What was my wife chatting with you about? If she’s upset you, just say the word and I’ll scold her."

After saying that, he dragged Suizi away at a brisk pace, ignoring the Principal’s outstretched hand.

"Isn’t he too stingy?" Wang Mengmeng dared to whisper only after Suizi had left.

"He doesn’t fit in, can’t integrate with the group." The principal shook his head sagely, "He’s from a rural area; his knowledge is limited, doesn’t get how to build a good relationship with his superiors."

Listening to the principal, Wang Mengmeng thought to herself that not only did this person not build a good relationship with you, he even smashed the glass windows of your home...

But she dared not say these words out loud, lest her home’s windows be smashed next.

On the small wooden dining table, a meal of pork ribs stewed with rice noodles, accompanied by steamed rolls, was served. Sitting side by side on small stools, Suizi and Yu Jingting were having their ordinary dinner.

"Was it appropriate to accuse someone over a simple dish of pork ribs?" Suizi asked.

"Nothing inappropriate about it, those two colleagues of yours aren’t worth getting along with."

Yu Jingting had fought his way up from his hometown, and he never put up with people he found displeasing, let alone bothered to keep up appearances for them.

On second thought, Suizi agreed.

"Given more time, they’ll get used to your character..."

"What kind of character do you think I have?" Yu Jingting eyed her suspiciously, "Seems like you’re ready to play ’good cop’ again, aren’t you?"

Suizi’s face turned hot. She darted her eyes nervously around and made a ’hush’ gesture.

Fearing that outsiders might hear their private "jargon".

Her guilty look amused Yu Jingting, who picked out a meaty rib and placed it in her bowl.

"Are you guys getting ready to start work?"

Suizi nodded; the school would be officially starting classes tomorrow.

The school was a new setup, and they had been in the preparatory stage for the past few days. Starting tomorrow, the school would officially start enrolling students, and Suizi would begin her formal job.

"Jingting, do you want to take classes too?" Suizi asked.

"No need, I’ve my plans."

Suizi had long encouraged him to further his education. The night school also granted graduation certificates, and he could participate in adult examinations.

Suizi wanted to enhance her own education level through self-study. Having a vocational diploma was well-regarded currently, but it wouldn’t be sufficient in a few years, making job evaluations challenging.

If Yu Jingting was willing to study with her, with his intelligence, obtaining a self-study diploma would not be difficult.

However, seeing his stubborn, unyielding attitude, she could tell he considered a diploma to be worthless and had no intention of following her plan.

Suizi reflected, she needed to change her approach to persuade him.

The matter of education was non-negotiable.

Suizi didn’t want people someday to say about him, "That boss is uneducated but rich, isn’t he just lucky to be born in the right era?"

Even if he went to a business school later on, someone would always be scrutinizing his early education, attributing all his achievements to the era he was born in.

Admittedly, these rich pioneers certainly did benefit from reforms.

However, there were many people in that era, why only a few became rich?

She had seen his capability with her own eyes. Self-study programs offer excellent legitimacy, and she knew he could get through them if he applied himself. She was determined to provide him with this type of endorsement.

"What are you plotting now?" Yu Jingting, seeing that she was silent, asked.

From past experience, he knew that she was up to something when she went silent.

"Nothing." Of course, Suizi couldn’t admit she was strategizing on his education.

"You’re not about to start sweet-talking me in bed again, are you? I don’t mind your sweet-talk, but it doesn’t work on me. I am not going to school, not even if you’re as sweet as candy—uh!"

Suizi stuffed a steamed roll into his mouth.

"Mind the prenatal influence!"

He had already noticed her habit of persuading him in bed. Suizi lowered her eyes to hide her plans.

When dealing with a man, who’s clever and stubborn, how could she only use bedtalk to win him over?

Continuous adaptation was needed, she had a plan to guide him onto the right path.

"By the way, aren’t there supposed to be three families living in our courtyard? Where’s the third one?"

Upon seeing her silence, Yu Jingting thought he had successfully "tamed" his wife, and therefore, he diverted the conversation.

"I was wondering about that, too. I asked Wang Mengmeng today, she said they should be moving in soon."

Suddenly, a crash!

The sound of shattering glass came from outside, followed by heated arguments.
