He Lixuan continued, "Before going to the countryside this time, my parents divided up the cash in the house. They gave me three thousand, returned it to my eldest brother, and my second brother also received a share. My second brother's share is in my eldest brother's hands. Last time I called, my eldest brother said he would send some over, but I refused."

Shi Yue nodded in agreement: "Yes, absolutely don't send it, it's easy to bring trouble."

He Lixuan smiled and said, "That's what I meant too."

He added, "I've spent some of my money since I came to the countryside, and I still have about 2,500 yuan left. I'll give it all to you when we get back."

After hearing this, Shiyue couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She looked up at He Lixuan with a complicated expression, as if she were looking at a spendthrift son.

She knew before that this person was a big spender, but she didn't realize he was this extravagant!

Five hundred yuan! He's only been in the countryside for a short time, and he's already spent five hundred yuan?

The more Shiyue thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, and her gaze towards He Lixuan was almost accusatory!

He Lixuan felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

He said awkwardly, "I'll hand it over when I get back, and I'll do whatever you say from now on."

Shiyue immediately nodded: "Yes!"

This time, she would never say no again.

After voluntarily confessing about the slush fund, He Lixuan surrendered again: "Tomorrow when we go shopping, let's go to the department store. I want to buy you some clothes. I just checked, my dad and the others have cloth coupons, let's go and use them..."

"No! I have clothes." Shiyue immediately refused.

He Lixuan pursed his lips and retorted, "You should always wear a new outfit when you get married."

Shiyue didn't actually want to buy it.

The fabric she bought in the provincial capital last time she was given a new jacket by Aunt Guihua, but she has never worn it.

These days, who can afford to buy several new clothes every year?

That would be too eye-catching.

Especially since they brought He's parents back with them this time, Shiyue just wanted to keep a low profile and avoid attracting hatred.

However, after hearing He Lixuan's words, she hesitated again.

Is this a wedding?

In Shiyue's heart, this was actually her first marriage.

That time with Sun Cheng doesn't count!

That time, her father was seriously ill, so they only got their marriage certificate and didn't even have a meal together, let alone any ceremony or new clothes.

The Sun family didn't give her family a single penny of betrothal money!

Thinking about this, Shiyue suddenly understood.

Why not for a lifetime?

Being frugal is one way to live a lifetime, and being happy is another.

It's her only wedding of her life, so what's wrong with her dressing up nicely?

She only wore it once!

After figuring it out, Shiyue smiled at He Lixuan.

She said, "Okay. Not only will I buy you a new outfit, but I'll also buy one for you. And I'll buy one for Mom and Dad as well. They didn't bring any clothes back with them, so we really need to get them some new ones."

He Lixuan originally wanted to say that he wouldn't buy any more, since he had enough clothes.

But seeing Shiyue's rare, genuine smile, he hesitated to say those words.

He smiled at Shiyue and said, "Okay, let's all buy new ones."

Speaking of new clothes, Shiyue thought of her little house.

She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell He Lixuan the whole story.

Originally, Shiyue did not want to tell anyone this secret.

She originally intended to keep this secret for the rest of her life.

However, during this trip to Suifeng, her secrets were almost completely exposed.

Moreover, she had promised at the time that she would find a suitable opportunity to explain things clearly to He Lixuan.

Shiyue felt that today should be the opportunity.

Trust is mutual.

He Lixuan had already told her about his family situation, even their financial situation, which could be described as quite frank.

There's no point in hiding it now.

Moreover, that person is so perceptive; even if he doesn't understand, he probably already has a pretty good idea of ​​what's going on.

Two people are meant to spend their lives together; it's not good to have a rift so early on.

So Shiyue straightened her posture and said to He Lixuan, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Shi Yue become serious, He Lixuan subconsciously stopped smiling.

He sat on the stool beside Shiyue's bed, gazing at her intently.

He Lixuan felt a surge of nervousness; he sensed that Shiyue was about to tell him her biggest secret.

Shiyue stopped hiding the truth and started from when she first got the small house, explaining that it was after reading those books and learning about the cadre school that she insisted on going to Suifeng with He Lixuan.

He Lixuan was so shocked after hearing this that he was almost speechless!

His face slowly turned red.

But this time, the popularity is definitely not due to shyness.

Instead, it was a mixture of astonishment, excitement, awe, and other emotions that created tension and even excitement.

He didn't ask about the money or the supplies.

Instead, she swallowed hard and asked, "Could you let me see those books?"

Shiyue shook her head in frustration: "I tried, but I couldn't get it out."

I tried it many times before October.

She can produce items that are ahead of their time, including everyday items such as food, clothing, and medicine.

However, she absolutely could not produce books, especially those published in later generations.

She couldn't even keep a record.

Shiyue had also considered recording some important events.

But if she wrote in the small room, the paper she wrote on wouldn't be available to be taken out either.

If she tries to see with her consciousness and then record it in reality.
