After finishing the meal, Zhang Xiaoxiao contentedly patted her belly and said, "That was delicious, Guangcai. Your cooking has improved again."
Zhao Guangcai smiled and replied, "So does that mean my cooking used to be bad?"
"No, no, your cooking was good before; it's just even better now."
"That's good to hear."
"Guangcai, I have a small request."
"What is it?"
"Please don't make such delicious dishes anymore; I can't help but eat too much."
Zhao Guangcai responded, "......"
"Is that okay?"
"Sure."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said with satisfaction, "You're so obedient."
Zhao Guangcai smiled helplessly and began to clean up the dishes while Zhang Xiaoxiao went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Once back in her room, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't go to sleep right away. Instead, she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and silently called out, "System."
"I'm here, host."
"When will the male lead appear?"
"Soon."
"Soon is how long?"
"About half a month."
"Oh."
"Host, please do not get too close to the antagonist."
"When have we been close?"
"You eat together every day, sleep together, hold hands, and you often act cute with him. What else would you call that?"
"But we're technically a couple; it's normal to do those things."
"However, you are fake couples."
"Still a couple though."
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao impatiently said, "Can you stop nagging? My ears are about to develop calluses."
"But......"
"If you say one more word, I'll have a baby with Zhao Guangcai and make you take care of it."
"......"
The system was too scared to speak again.
Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, looked at the dilapidated ceiling, and sighed, "Sigh, when will this kind of life come to an end?"
She had been transported here for a month, and from her initial confusion to now being accustomed to it, she had fully integrated into this world. Although it was poor here, the scenery was particularly beautiful, and there was little pollution; the air was very fresh. Every day she could see the blue sky and white clouds.
Most importantly, the people here were very simple-minded, without any schemes; everyone was kind and easy to deceive. She and Zhao Guangcai were living very comfortably here. However, even the most comfortable days could become boring over time, so she needed some excitement, some novelty, which tasks could provide her. The system said her tasks would soon begin, and she felt a bit excited.
In the afternoon, while Zhang Xiaoxiao was sleeping in the shop, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Brother Guangcai, you finally returned."
"Brother Guangcai, what good things did you hunt this time?"
"Brother Guangcai, can you give me a wild chicken? My grandmother is sick and wants to eat chicken."
"Brother Guangcai..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao walked out and saw Zhao Guangcai surrounded by a group of children, holding several wild chickens and rabbits.
"Guangcai."
Zhao Guangcai looked up at her, " Xiaoxiao, I'm back."
"Mm, come in quickly."
"Okay."
Zhao Guangcai walked into the shop, but the group of children wanted to follow him inside. Zhao Guangcai turned around and said sternly, "You all hurry home; otherwise, I won't bring you candy next time."
Hearing this, the children quickly dispersed. Zhao Guangcai placed the wild chickens and rabbits in the cage in the backyard before walking to the front hall.
Zhang Xiaoxiao poured him a cup of tea. "You must be tired; have some water."
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao."
"No need to be polite with me."
Zhao Guangcai took a sip of water and then set down the bowl. " Xiaoxiao, let's have braised rabbit tonight."
"Sure."
"Then I'll go kill the rabbit now."
"Okay, I'll help you."
"No need; I can do it alone."
"Alright then."
Zhao Guangcai went to the backyard to kill the rabbit while Zhang Xiaoxiao stayed in the front hall to tend to the shop. As evening approached, more customers began to arrive, and Zhang Xiaoxiao started to get busy.
"Boss, I'll have half a pound of peanuts."
"Sure thing."
"Boss, I'll have a plate of pig ears."
"Coming right up."
"Boss..."
"Here it is."
Zhang Xiaoxiao was busy but felt very happy; this is how business works—only when business is good does one get busy, and when it's not, one has free time.
After a while, she finally had a moment to relax. Zhang Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a sip of water, and then walked into the kitchen.
Zhao Guangcai was chopping vegetables. Upon seeing her enter, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, is it busy outside?"
"Yes, there are so many people."
"That's good."
"Mm."
"Guangcai, let me help you wash the vegetables."
"No need, you can take a break; I can handle it myself."
"It's fine, I'm not tired."
"Alright then, please wash the Spinach for me."
"Okay."
Zhang Xiaoxiao began washing the Spinach while Zhao Guangcai continued chopping meat. The two worked together seamlessly, and soon they had prepared a meal.
During dinner, Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Guangcai, how much did we earn today?"
"We made one hundred wen today."
"That's quite a lot."
"Yeah."
Zhang Xiaoxiao said happily, "At this rate, we'll be able to buy this shop soon."
"Mm, I'll try to hunt more and earn some extra money."
"Sounds good."
