After finishing her meal, Zhang Xiaoxiao contentedly patted her belly. "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 with a blank expression. "Is that okay?"
"Sure."
Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled in satisfaction. "You're so obedient."
Zhao Guangcai chuckled helplessly as he began to clean up the dishes while Zhang Xiaoxiao went back to her bedroom to sleep.
Once back in her room, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't fall asleep immediately. Instead, she lay on her bed, closed her eyes, and silently called out, "System."
"I'm here, host."
"When will the male lead appear?"
"Soon."
"How soon is 'soon'?"
"About half a month."
"Oh."
"Host, please don't 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 married; it's normal to do those things."
"Yet you are a Fake Couple."
"But we're still a couple."
"......"
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 and stared at the worn-out ceiling, sighing. "Sigh, when will this kind of life come to an end?"
She had been here for a month, transitioning from confusion to adaptation, and she had completely integrated into this world. Although it was poor, the scenery was beautiful, and there was little pollution; the air was fresh, with blue skies and white clouds visible every day.
Most importantly, the people here were simple and kind-hearted, without any ulterior motives. They were easy to deceive, and she and Zhao Guangcai were living quite comfortably. However, even the most comfortable days could become monotonous over time, so she craved some excitement and novelty, which tasks could provide her.
The system said her tasks would soon begin, and she felt a sense of anticipation.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoxiao was sleeping in the shop when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
"Guangcai, you're finally back!"
"Guangcai, what good things did you hunt this time?"
"Guangcai, can you give me a wild chicken? My grandma is sick and wants to eat chicken."
"Guangcai..."
Zhang Xiaoxiao stepped outside 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 in. He turned around and said sternly, "You all hurry home; otherwise, I won't bring you candy next time."
Upon hearing this, the children quickly dispersed.
Zhao Guangcai placed the wild chickens and rabbits into a 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 set the cup down. "Xiaoxiao, let's have braised rabbit for dinner 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."
"Coming right up."
"Boss, I'll have a plate of pig ears."
"Coming right up."
"Boss..."
"Here it is, here it is."
Zhang Xiaoxiao was bustling about, hardly able to catch her breath, but she felt very happy inside. This was the nature of business; only when business was good would one be busy, and when it was bad, one would be idle.
After a while, she finally had a moment to relax. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she 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 should rest. I can handle it myself."
"It's fine; I'm not tired."
"Alright then, could you wash the spinach for me?"
"Sure."
Zhang Xiaoxiao began washing the spinach while Zhao Guangcai continued chopping meat. The two worked together seamlessly, and before long, they had prepared a meal.
During dinner, Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Guangcai, how much did we earn today?"
"We made a 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."
"Yes, I'll try to hunt more and earn some extra money."
"Sounds good."
