Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382: Chapter 408: 20 Years Old

This year, Gu Junming didn’t go back to his hometown for the New Year as usual. Instead, he went to Shenzhen with Sun Chan, Yang Liu, Guihua, and others. One reason was to check out the latest clothing trends in the South, which was important. The other was to have a good time. Sun Chan had saved quite a bit of money and didn’t want to live a life of hardship after being reborn. She never skimmed on good food and entertainment. She also bought a lot of local specialty medicines and sent them back to her hometown.

Life is quite comfortable now. The only regret is that Gu Junming is busier than ever; sometimes they don’t see each other for two weeks. Sun Chan understands this is normal during a busy period when he’s climbing the career ladder.

The two were eating at Sun Chan’s canteen, having Mapo Tofu, fried pork tenderloin, a sweet and sour fish, and two bowls of rice.

The delicious food made many students nearby envious and jealous. This meal cost at least ten yuan, which ordinary poor students really couldn’t afford. A girl not far away saw it and told Wu Qiong.

"That woman has such a black heart! Her boyfriend visits her, and she spends so much money. How much does a soldier earn in a month? All wasted on her."

Wu Qiong’s meal was also not bad, with braised eggplant and braised pork.

Listening to the girl talk, Wu Qiong sneered, "You think Sun Chan is you? Always spending your parents’ money. She earns her own."

"Really can’t be..."

Wu Qiong was too lazy to say more, pondering her father’s words: "Keep close to this Sun Chan. She’s capable, though I’m doing well now. There are many people doing business these days, unlike before. If we don’t progress, we’ll fall behind."

Wu Qiong was quite unconvinced, "Sun Chan is from a village, she..."

"Yes, a girl with no background, how has she come this far? Do you really think pleasing men leads to success? She’s capable herself, think more, don’t just feel envious." Wu Dafu pointed to his head.

Although Wu Qiong was somewhat unconvinced, she took it to heart after all.

Listening to people around talk about Sun Chan made her uneasy. When everyone saw that Wu Qiong didn’t allow them to speak ill of Sun Chan, they quieted down.

Gu Junming, while eating, talked about Bai Fanglan and Battalion Commander Zhao’s situation: "It’s not entirely Bai Fanglan’s fault. This Battalion Commander Zhao is also clueless. You can’t live for your family all your life. He’s in his thirties and has no savings; he gave everything to the village. Which woman can live like this with him? If plans for the future involve staying in a professional setting, daily living expenses will cost money. Without a penny, how can you live? You can’t just wait to die if you get sick, right?"

Sun Chan nodded, giving food to Gu Junming, "We’re both from the village. We have an idea of the spending there. You don’t need to buy grains, vegetables, even cloth for clothes, or oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. They can all be bartered for grain. Apart from getting sick, there’s really nothing to spend money on. Life back home definitely isn’t as hard as his parents claim. And they have several daughters who will receive dowries when they marry, but they still cling onto their money-earning son. That’s human greed."

"Yeah, unfortunately, that Battalion Commander Zhao just can’t come to his senses. We can only remind him occasionally and can’t meddle too much in other people’s affairs, just watch and worry." Gu Junming sighed.

Battalion Commander Zhao is not even in the same unit as him, not to mention family matters are indeed tricky to discuss.

Sun Chan smiled, "Officials find it hard to resolve family affairs. He’s over thirty and hasn’t formed his own stance. How can anyone persuade him? Just leave it. During the holidays, shall we visit Nannan?"

Nannan is Gu Juntao’s daughter, now in good health and very pretty and cute.
