Chapter 455: Chapter 379: Visitors from Huaxia Life Insurance

The next day.

7:30 in the morning.

Zhao Heng had already gotten up early and prepared breakfast. Today’s breakfast included fresh soy milk, fried dough sticks, and soup dumplings.

Zhao Heng always felt that bread and toast weren’t quite filling, he preferred soy milk, fried dough sticks, and these kinds of pastries, delicious and satisfying.

After setting up breakfast, Zhao Heng took off the apron around his waist and then went to the bedroom.

At this moment, Xu Man Ni was still sound asleep. Xu Man Ni was indeed exhausted last night, so she was sleeping very sweetly now.

Seeing Xu Man Ni sleeping so soundly, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but smile.

Last night’s "battle" was earth-shattering, with rivers running backward, essentially fighting until the universe cracked and the way extinguished. The intensity of it all cannot be described in just a few words.

So, they say, it’s crucial to find the right person. Once you find the right person, everything seems right.

Looking at Xu Man Ni, lying there like Sleeping Beauty, Zhao Heng smiled gently and leaned down.

A moment later.

Xu Man Ni woke up from her dreams.

"Up to mischief so early in the morning."

Xu Man Ni, both complaining and sweet, said to Zhao Heng.

Now, Xu Man Ni somewhat regretted wearing that thin wedding dress yesterday, which seemed to have given Zhao Heng a super powerful buff. She felt like she climbed a mountain all day yesterday, so tired.

Before being with Zhao Heng, Xu Man Ni didn’t have much experience in this aspect of life, to put it in words, she and Zhao Heng were each other’s First Blood.

Xu Man Ni had only heard that boys in their early twenties were very ... something in that aspect, but now having experienced it, she knew it was even more exaggerated than she had heard.

Heaven knows why Zhao Heng, after being so busy at work every day, still has so much energy afterward.

This must be that pleasure mingled with pain!

"Get up and have breakfast."

Zhao Heng smiled and said.

"Hmm."

Xu Man Ni nodded sweetly.

After Xu Man Ni changed her clothes and came to the dining room, she looked at the cup of soy milk on the table, her expression instantly turned a bit strange.

The soy milk Zhao Heng prepared, of course, was fresh.

Speaking of making soy milk, it’s really easy now, with a soy milk maker, just press a button, and it grinds quickly.

But back then, there were no soy milk makers. As a child in his hometown, if Zhao Heng wanted soy milk, it had to be hand-ground.

It was the kind with a millstone, a big lever; as the millstone turned, you started grinding the beans, and the strength had to be even and appropriate to extract the soy milk.

Zhao Heng still remembered pushing this lever to help when he was young; the millstone was heavy, and after a few turns, you had to rest, or you’d quickly run out of strength.

And when the beans were almost ground, you had to use more strength and push a few extra hard turns, so the soy milk could be extracted instantly; if you slacked off the last few pushes, you’d have to rest a while before continuing.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing Xu Man Ni’s strange expression, Zhao Heng asked.

"This soy milk is very fresh. I just freshly squeezed it this morning."

Zhao Heng thought it was something about the soy milk, so he picked up a cup and smelled it.

Very fresh!

Zhao Heng smelled a fresh bean aroma!

"There you go!"

Xu Man Ni rolled her eyes at Zhao Heng, picked up the soy milk, and took a sip.

Yes, it was indeed very fresh, getting to drink such fresh soy milk first thing in the morning was a really nice feeling.

But every time Xu Man Ni saw this soy milk, her face turned a bit unnatural.

"Ahem..."

Being rolled an eye at by Xu Man Ni, Zhao Heng suddenly realized what was going on.

"Let’s have breakfast, let’s have breakfast."

Zhao Heng picked up a fried dough stick and handed it to Xu Man Ni.

"Okay."

Xu Man Ni nodded, took the fried dough stick, and bit off a small piece.

Not bad, crispy yet chewy, very tasty.

Watching Xu Man Ni eat the fried dough stick, Zhao Heng momentarily zoned out.

"Did you make all this?"

Xu Man Ni asked in surprise.

In today’s society, if you want something, you can have it ready-made, it’s very convenient.

Basically, people wouldn’t put so much effort into making fresh soy milk and frying dough sticks at home.

"I got up early, had nothing else to do."

Zhao Heng took a bite of his fried dough stick, shook his head slightly, cleared his mind of wild thoughts, and said casually.

"You must have had a tough childhood."

Xu Man Ni looked at Zhao Heng and suddenly thought about how Zhao Heng was so familiar with household chores, he must have had a hard childhood.

Imagining Zhao Heng’s parents going out to earn money while he was at home alone as a little child, doing housework with his tiny body, Xu Man Ni’s nose felt a bit sour.

"No way, my dad could cater banquets; as a kid, I helped him, got fed up with candy."

Zhao Heng said casually.

Though his hometown couldn’t compare to the conditions in North City, Zhao Heng lived quite comfortably as a child compared to peers.

Father Zhao was multi-talented, could cater banquets, do carpentry, fix small tools and appliances; nothing was beyond his capability.

So, from a young age, Zhao Heng never lacked in food and drink.

Especially when he followed Father Zhao to cater banquets, he had eaten his fill of wedding candies.

"Um... forget I said anything."

Xu Man Ni was taken aback by Zhao Heng’s casual reply.

"That’s a stereotype! My dad used to cater banquets, and I learned just by watching."

Zhao Heng smiled slightly.

"So your childhood was actually not bad."

Xu Man Ni nodded after hearing this.

Kids don’t know what hard days are, and anyway, the good or bad life is all about comparison.
