Chapter 127: Uneasy Heart

"... Mainly, I don't have much money to spend, and the money I earn from translation is enough to cover my temporary expenses."

"Aren't you going to explain the boundaries?"

Gu Xiao looked at her, obviously not wanting to let her off the hook.

"Well, there's no clear dividing line..."

She said this weakly, but under his burning gaze, Song Youyou still gave in, sighed, and admitted:

"Well, that's what I thought at first. After all, you said you were attracted to me...at first sight. I thought you might get tired of me and want to break up someday, so I thought we should be clear about it so we can get back together when we do..."

"Song Youyou!"

"Am I the kind of person you would abandon after sleeping with me?"

Gu Xiao was obviously very angry.

"I'm a soldier, and ours is a military marriage, which is protected! If I abandon you after having an affair with you, what you have to do is not leave, but to collect evidence to report me and ruin my reputation!"

“Ah, ah?!”

How could this person teach her this?

"Anyway, just give up on this idea. Once we get married, we'll be together for life. I'll work hard to earn an allowance, and I'll serve you well. Just give up on this idea and don't even think about leaving!"

"As for what you say, I will be tired..."

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and said in a somewhat impolite tone:

"Do I look like I'm going to get bored?"

"I really want to be with you every day and even die in your bed."

"Don't you feel anything? Every time I'm in bed with you..."

"Stop! Stop it, stop it!" Song Youyou blushed, "Gu Xiao, stop saying whatever you want."

Gu Xiao didn't care.

"We're the only two people in the room, and no one else can hear us. Besides, people talk about boudoir things in private, especially those rough things in bed. Why are you shy?"

"I just don't want it." Song Youyou glared at him fiercely.

But in Gu Xiao's eyes, she was full of charm.

His tone softened immediately.

"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I won't say anything more now. But you have to promise me that you won't be so clear with me anymore. And if you want to use my money in the future, use more of it."

Song Youyou: “…”

"Okay, I understand."

The space had changed, and she had decided to stock up on more supplies in it, as it was also a time when she needed money.

only……

"Who would let their daughter-in-law spend more money? Shouldn't we encourage frugality in household management..." Song Youyou muttered.

The problem was communicated well, and Gu Xiao's eyes were full of joy. He just smiled at her grumbling:

"You don't need to be frugal. When I go to the Border Corps, I'll get a monthly stipend there, so feel free to spend. If it's not enough, I'll find another way."

Gu Xiao thought very simply.

In the army, if you want to move up, you must be strong enough and be able to contribute to the organization.

Well, the same is true in the family.

Making money to support a family is just the most basic contribution.

"It's time for dinner. I'll go downstairs and bring you some food."

"No, I want to go downstairs to eat."

Song Youyou shook her head.

"Your vacation is only two days long. You're going to the military camp after dinner, right?

I thought that while you are at home, we should talk to Grandpa, Grandma and Dad about joining the army and listen to their opinions."

"Can……"

"My wound is really fine."

"Okay then." Seeing her insistence, he finally agreed.

After dinner, Song Youyou told him about her experience of joining the army.

She originally thought that her family's reaction would be worry or reluctance.

Unexpectedly, after listening to her, Mrs. Gu looked so moved.

"Youyou, marrying you is such a blessing to Brother Xiao! You're a little girl used to city life, yet you're willing to follow him to join the army..."

Song Youyou was silent.

It's normal to join the army, why is it said to be so great...

Mr. Gu pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"For the past two months, we've been struggling with food rations at home. Please save some food to bring back to them, and you as well."

Old Master Gu looked at Gu Wanqing.

"You should go and exchange more food and bills recently. We have savings at home, but for this guy, money is useless. Food is the real thing."

"Dad, I know."

Gu Wanqing also had a serious look on his face, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to the matter of storing grain and exchanging bills.

Song Youyou didn't expect that the Gu family's first reaction would be like this, and she was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that there are families like this...

In this era, it is common for soldiers to go on long journeys and have their wives accompany them.

Generally speaking, some selfish family members’ first reaction would be that they have less people to take care of them, or they would be thinking about the allowance and asking their parents to send money for their retirement every month.

Some elderly people are understanding and will express their concern and reluctance.

Song Youyou never thought about it.

Mrs. Gu’s first reaction was to thank her for her efforts.

A family-oriented man's first thought is how to use the whole family's strength to help young people.

How lucky she is.

I chose this kind of family.

Song Youyou felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad, don't worry about the food. Gu Xiao went to exchange a lot of bills for it. It's enough."

“It’s okay, a poor family has a rich road.

Store more food so that you can take it home and feel at ease.

If you can't carry it, exchange it for national food coupons, and you can exchange it for food elsewhere."

Mr. Lu waved his hand.

Song Youyou didn't refuse anymore and talked about another idea.

"I'm going to the border in two months, so I wanted to discuss it with Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad. I was thinking of finding some time to stay with Grandpa and my brother for a while and spend some time with them."

Old Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly, "That's as I should. You've just become family, so it's right for you to spend more time with them. And this morning..."

"What happened this morning?" Song Youyou's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"After you went upstairs this morning, the guards from your grandfather's house came hurriedly and called your two brothers away."

Song Youyou was stunned, and the uneasiness in her heart suddenly grew.
