Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2472: Chapter 2408: I’m Raising a Pig

Not sure if there’s any way.

Chiang Xiao blinked, her mind started to work.

She believed that where there’s a will, there’s a way, and eventually, she’d come up with a solution.

Meng Xinian, however, didn’t really take it to heart, which is why he wasn’t influenced or stimulated by the power of the Thousand Mile Talisman Diagram.

After seeing Chiang Xiao’s pale face earlier, he didn’t plan on letting her use that talisman again.

"How about we eat there? Old Zhuang’s Small Restaurant." Meng Xinian pointed to a small restaurant ahead.

They were all local town residents, so finding a restaurant now was not as easy as it would be later when this becomes a tourist spot, where there’d truly be a restaurant every three steps.

Chiang Xiao’s thoughts were interrupted by him, and temporarily pushed her previous worries away.

"Sure."

At Old Zhuang’s Small Restaurant, Chiang Xiao tasted local dishes that she found extremely delicious, satisfying her stomach wholeheartedly.

However, seeing her eat four bowls of rice, even the restaurant owner Old Zhuang was dumbfounded.

Mind you, their rice bowls were not small; he could only eat one and a half bowls per meal, yet this young lady ate four!

When Meng Xinian went to pay, Old Zhuang unexpectedly offered them a discount.

He patted Meng Xinian’s shoulder and said, "Young man, it’s not easy to take care of a wife, right?"

Meng Xinian was still a bit puzzled.

Chiang Xiao, however, had figured it out.

Her face suddenly darkened.

Hey!

What’s that supposed to mean?

She didn’t normally eat that much!

Seeing her darkened face, Meng Xinian understood as well.

He almost couldn’t hold back his laughter and said sincerely to Old Zhuang, "No worries, just like raising a little pig, it’s fine."

"Hahaha."

Old Zhuang laughed heartily and personally sent them out.

Once they were a bit further away, Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but pinch Meng Xinian once.

"Who are you calling a pig? Who’s the pig?"

"It’s me, it’s me." Meng Xinian said without any sense of shame, "My wife earns much more than I do, it’s you who’s raising me, you’re raising a pig."

"Humph."

Chiang Xiao snorted and quickly realized.

He’s the pig, she’s his wife?

Like Pigsy marrying his wife.

Really.

Seeing her still pouting, Meng Xinian found it a bit amusing.

"They’re strangers, why worry about embarrassment? So what if you ate four bowls? He didn’t even remember you drank a bowl of soup in between!"

"Meng Xinian!" Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but lift her foot to kick him.

Even if they’re strangers, she’s a lady, after all; being considered a glutton, a pig, and making Meng Xinian be sympathized with, she felt a bit embarrassed no matter how she looked at it.

Though she ate because running a thousand miles had drained her energy, who knows the real reason?

Still a pig, indeed.

The two teased each other a bit and strolled side by side in the ancient town.

Meng Xinian knew Chiang Xiao needed to see more different sceneries, so he took his time, accompanying her to walk and look around.

The undeveloped ancient town was truly serene, with beautiful scenery.

Chiang Xiao’s mind was already filled with many images, enough for her to create a series of ancient town landscape paintings once they returned.

"Brother Xinian, I suddenly got an idea," Chiang Xiao said to Meng Xinian, feeling inspired, "I’ll visit various ancient towns and paint a series of landscapes, then hold an art exhibition. The theme will be ’Xiao Chiang takes you to see the world — Ancient Town Edition.’ What do you think?"
