Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 143: The Perfect Meal Combo

Chairman Jiang is a decisive person. Yi Roujing heard from Anmin that on June 11th, Jiang Xuemei personally brought candies and canned food to the finance department to apologize sincerely, saying she shouldn’t have listened to slander and misunderstood her. Although she didn’t mention names, everyone in the finance department could guess.

Peng Chaomei also apologized to Anmin with a stiff face and a forced smile, saying the usual things—she shouldn’t have been careless, etc. However, everyone understood, and the people in the finance department ostracized Peng Chaomei, while Anmin gained everyone’s sympathy, and the head of the department even assigned a new mentor to her.

Yi Roujing only found out that evening, and she was relieved that the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

"Don’t worry about me anymore. Is tomorrow’s exam going to be okay?" Anmin asked.

"Yes, I’ve done a few sets of practice papers over the past few days, feeling very confident," Yi Roujing said lightly.

"Big brother, really?" Anmin half-listened to Yi Roujing’s words but still trusted Ding Ancheng more.

Ding Ancheng laughed and reached out to tousle Yi Roujing’s fluffy hair. "Your big sister-in-law is very capable; getting the graduation certificate won’t be a problem."

"That’s good then."

"Hey—" Yi Roujing was displeased, but before she could say anything, Ding Ancheng had half-embraced her and got her onto the back seat of the bicycle.

"Big brother, big sister-in-law, take it slow," Anmin waved and then closed the door.

"Still angry?" On the way back, Yi Roujing was silent, and Ding Ancheng asked with a low chuckle.

"What’s there to be angry about?" Yi Roujing said indifferently. "Oh, by the way, I’m going to be transferred to the operating room as a nurse soon."

"Are you afraid?" Ding Ancheng asked. "I heard from the third brother that there was an accident in the transport department before, but the person was saved, and the leg was preserved. Did you do something to get noticed by a talent scout?"

"So smart." Yi Roujing wrapped her hands around Ding Ancheng’s slender waist. "My goal is to become a doctor. Going to the operating room is better, so I agreed."

"As long as you like it." Ding Ancheng wrapped his hands around Yi Roujing’s hands clasped at his waist, gently rubbing them.

"Hey, focus on riding," Yi Roujing said hastily, thinking about how all their weight on the bicycle was controlled by Ding Ancheng’s single hand.

"Yes, dear." Ding Ancheng obediently listened and even increased the speed.

"Oh, by the way, Zhou Zeyuan and Xu Jinchun are coming over this Saturday. I heard they were delayed by something before, but this time they have cleared their schedule to visit. He wants to come for a meal," Ding Ancheng said.

"Where should we eat? At home?" Yi Roujing asked.

"Yes, I’ll cook," replied Ding Ancheng.

Yi Roujing felt a bit embarrassed. "Would it be inappropriate? How about we eat at a state-run restaurant, or pack the food back home."

"It’s fine. I’ve learned a few new dishes recently, and you haven’t really had a chance to try them. I’ll cook for you," Ding Ancheng said with a smile. "As long as one of us knows how to cook, we’re set. You can help me with washing the vegetables and such."

"I’m planning to learn, so if you’re busy, you won’t come home to an empty stomach," Yi Roujing decided. "Cooking’s not difficult. It’s just about practice to make it delicious, but I lack hands-on experience. I understand the theory well."

"You make excellent noodles. Knowing that is enough." Ding Ancheng reached out again to rub Yi Roujing’s hand.

"That’s not really cooking," Yi Roujing blushed slightly. It’s just boiling noodles, running them under cold water, and mixing them with Li Hongying’s special sauce. Anyone can do that. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

With exams in the few upcoming days, Ding Ancheng was very well-behaved tonight, not causing any mischief.

Anmin knew Yi Roujing had exams, so she prepared simple nutritious breakfasts: thick white rice porridge, pickles with a few drops of sesame oil, youtiao bought from the state-run restaurant early in the morning, and boiled eggs. While others had one each, Anmin specifically boiled two for Yi Roujing.

"Take one with you and eat when you get hungry," Anmin arranged everything clearly.

"Really?" Ding Anguo looked at his sister with amusement. "You still believe in this."

"Why, do you have a problem?" Anmin retorted with a hint of annoyance.

Xia Xingchen chuckled to the side, while Yi Weiliang was the most worried.

"Sister, are you going to be okay?" As a genuine family member, Yi Roujing’s exam results from childhood were notoriously bad, and Yi Weiliang knew that best, as he was the same as his sister.

"Third brother, I’ve changed. I’m smart now," Yi Roujing reassured with a smile, "and Ancheng tutored me."

"If Ancheng coached you, then that’s good, that’s good." Yi Weiliang was relieved upon hearing this.

Ding Ancheng took Yi Roujing to County First Middle School. Today was the senior high school graduation exam. After they finish, it means the senior students will leave their alma mater, either entering the workforce, going to the countryside as educated youths, or continuing their studies through reserved opportunities for workers, peasants, and soldiers...

County First Middle School’s senior year has five classes, with quite a few students. Yi Roujing was a new addition to the exams, and her student number on the exam pass was the last, so she naturally went to the last seat in the last class.

She was an unfamiliar face, with a good appearance, so it wasn’t surprising that many people looked at her. Some students even recognized her, whispering that she was Ding Ancheng’s wife.

The first exam in the morning was Chinese, a subject where it’s hard to score very high, but also hard to score very low, mainly testing reading and accumulated knowledge. Although Yi Roujing was a science student in her past life, Chinese was a mandatory subject, and she answered with ease, especially having strengthened her understanding of the era’s red slogans, making her answers impressive.

There’s no division between science and arts yet, so after doing some research, Yi Roujing focused on supplementing her knowledge in the arts, while science subjects she remembered the formulas and derivations, and could answer upon seeing the questions. Anyway, after the first day’s exam, she felt confident about it.

On the afternoon of the thirteenth, Yi Roujing finished her last exam and stretched her arms wide.

Ding Ancheng was waiting downstairs by the teaching building. Upon seeing Yi Roujing come out, he waved his hand, and Yi Roujing bounced over happily.

Seeing Yi Roujing like this, Ding Ancheng’s entire face softened. When Yi Roujing approached, he took the pen case from her hands and said softly, "Are you hungry? Let’s go buy something to eat first."

The surrounding students were all shocked at Ding Ancheng’s expression. When have they ever seen this kind of Ding teacher? They thought Ding teacher never smiled, yet he’s so tender with his wife.

Since everyone at home was working, dinner naturally came late. Remembering that Zhou Zeyuan and Xu Jinchun would visit tomorrow, the two went to the department store, buying candies, biscuits, canned food, and other snacks to entertain guests.

When they returned home, they unexpectedly saw Li Hongying, making Yi Roujing very happy.

"You’re back, it’s time to eat," Li Hongying said with a smile.

"Mom, did you cook?" Yi Roujing excitedly asked, only to get a side-eye from Anmin.

"Yes."

"Where’s Dad?" Yi Roujing looked around but didn’t see Ding Weihuo.
