Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

"There's no rush for this, you go ahead and do your own thing first." Chu Molin considered the jerky he wanted as a kind of reward, so it wasn't needed for the time being. He just wanted to give his wife a heads-up.

"Alright, about how much do you need?" Qin Xue asked while working.

"Is 5 kg doable?" Chu Molin paused before speaking.

"It can be done, but do you really need that much? Can you finish it all?" Qin Xue assumed that Chu Molin was the only one eating it, and thought that 5 kg was way too much. In these times, without it being vacuum-sealed, it wouldn't taste good after a while if it wasn't consumed quickly.

"The research institute needs it. The old man will cover the costs, and you'll also get some compensation." Chu Molin explained in detail because he had filed a request for this with the higher-ups, and it was approved as an encouragement for their perseverance, so the request was granted.

"Alright, I don't mind not getting paid. Who can blame me, you're my husband after all." Qin Xue agreed not because of the money.

"I know, my wife is the best." Ever since being with Qin Xue, Chu Molin found himself speaking sweet words one after the other, and he felt great about it because she was his beloved.

He didn't know if other men did the same with their wives, but he felt that being a couple meant being shameless. The thicker the skin, the less likely she could escape from his grasp.

"What's gotten into you this morning? You're in such a good mood." Qin Xue chuckled, as the man had truly changed.

"I just want to treat you well." Chu Molin didn't mention that he had met with Qin Huaihe, who had told him many things, which made him feel for her.

"It's my honor." Qin Xue graciously accepted his gesture. If he treated her well, she would reciprocate.

"How do you do this?" Chu Molin asked softly, looking at her smiling face.

"Just leave it to me. Watch how I do it, and then you can do the same. That way, we can start making meatballs." Qin Xue said as she began to handle the fish.

"Got it, I know how to do it now." Watching Qin Xue work, Chu Molin quickly grasped the process.

After Qin Xue finished with the fish, he took the knife and started on the others.

"Chu Molin, has anyone told you that you learn very quickly?" Qin Xue observed that whenever she asked him to do something, he only needed to see it once to know how it was done, and he did it well.

"Yes." Chu Molin nodded without any modesty.

It was true; back in school, teachers remarked on his quick learning. After joining the military, his superiors said the same, and now at the research institute, it was no different.

So when Qin Xue asked him, he felt he truly was such an impressive person without a hint of modesty.

If Qin Xue knew what Chu Molin was thinking, she might tease him for showing off. Usually, when people are praised, they should shyly smile and say, "Oh, not at all, you flatter me."

If Chu Molin knew this was what Qin Xue was thinking, he would definitely say, "What is modesty? It's not something I have. If I'm good, I'm good, no need for modesty."

"So I guess I'm just lucky to have casually snagged such a quality man." Qin Xue laughed out loud, thinking that it was the original her who was lucky, sharp-eyed enough to spot such an excellent Chu Molin at a glance.

Now he was all hers, and she would only treasure this hard-won happiness even more in the future.
