Volume 1 Chapter 301 Strolling in the City

"When will you return to the team?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Sheng Wanyan nodded and told him that she wanted to go to the city tomorrow.

"Wife, you have to ride your bike for several hours to get to the city."

"I want to go shopping while the weather is good."

When Gu Tingxiao heard her say this, he knew that she was bored, so he asked her to go for a walk in the city.

Moreover, I used to go there often before my wife in the city got pregnant, so I am very familiar with the place.

"I'll go after I finish feeding Yi Yi at noon."

"I squeezed my breast milk from this afternoon into a bottle. If she's hungry, you can warm it up and give it to her."

Sheng Wanyan has arranged everything, what can Gu Tingxiao say?

"Then be careful."

"Be careful when riding your bike."

Sheng Wanyan nodded. She was so happy that Gu Tingxiao agreed.

I haven't been out of the house in the past year, let alone leaving the army.

The next day at noon, after feeding her baby and having lunch, Sheng Wanyan put on her backpack and rode her bicycle to the city.

Today is Wednesday and the troops don’t have any cars to go to the city, so we have to ride our bikes there ourselves.

Sheng Wanyan rode his bike out of the army and headed towards the city.

When I got to the city, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative. I still had bills in my hand and I had to use them quickly.

It will expire if I keep it anyway, so I might as well spend it all.

Sheng Wanyan looked at the tickets in her hand, which included meat tickets, cotton tickets, grain tickets, pastry tickets, and cloth tickets.

These are the monthly bills at home, and there are also some bills that are used nationwide.

All the cigarettes in the evening were spent, not a single one left.

She seldom saw seafood, and there were only a few kinds.

The price of hairy crabs is 0.8 cents per pound, and the price of lobsters is 2-3 yuan each, and each lobster weighs about 0.7 pounds.

Shrimp is 40 cents per pound, hairtail is 30 cents per pound, and yellow croaker and pond fish are all more than 30 cents.

Sheng Wanyan bought some of everything, especially lobster.

This is very expensive in later generations, but in this era, you can get one for two or three dollars, so why not stock up quickly?

Sheng Wanyan bought ten lobsters, 20 crabs, 3 kilograms of shrimp, and one fish each.

The salesperson was dumbfounded when he saw her buying so many. One lobster was more than 2 yuan, and 10 would cost at least 20 yuan.

This is someone else’s monthly salary. What kind of family is this!

It’s so luxurious, and with those other seafood, added together it’s enough for an average family to spend two months!

Sheng Wanyan didn't care about other people's opinions. After buying her things, she rode her bike to the post office.

I bought stamps, went to a state-owned restaurant, packed up two meat dishes and went home.

Sheng Wanyan put the things into the space, and took out all the things she bought when she was one kilometer away from the army.

She also took 20 apples and 20 pears, as she wanted to make frozen pears to eat during the winter.

When she returned to the doorstep, Gu Tingxiao heard her voice and came out to pick her up.

He took the backpack off her back and weighed it.

"Why are you carrying such a heavy load?"

"I'm just getting better."

Gu Tingxiao frowned, even though his wife had already left the confinement period.

But giving birth is a painful experience, how can one recover in just one month?

If I were seriously injured, it would take at least three months to recover, not to mention my wife's near-death experience.

Without half a year of rest, the body cannot recover.

"It's okay. It's a rare opportunity."

“I saw the seafood and bought some more.”

Gu Tingxiao carried the backpack in one hand and the bicycle in the other and walked into the yard.

"Go take a rest. Tell me what you want to eat next time and I'll go."

Gu Tingxiao said this as he took her hand and walked into the house. He frowned when he felt the coolness on her hand.

"My hands are so cold, what if I catch a cold?"

Sheng Wanyan saw the man muttering while blowing on his hands with heartache, and she felt warm in her heart.

"It's okay. I don't want to stay at home all the time."

Gu Tingxiao paused when he heard her words. His wife was only 22 years old, at the age of youth and vitality.

It is indeed a bit unreasonable to keep her at home all the time.

When Gu Tingxiao thought about the fact that he was 28 years old and six years younger than his wife, he felt a huge sense of disappointment.

I didn’t feel old when I got married, but when I compare myself to my wife now, I feel jealous.

In two years, I will be 30 years old and my wife will only be 24 years old.

She is still as young as a flower, but I have entered middle age.

My wife is beautiful and capable, and many men are attracted to her.

Don't think he doesn't know that many people in the army say that their wives are at a disadvantage by marrying him.

Young and beautiful, there is no shortage of men for her.

She could even marry any young and promising man.

But in the end, she married someone as cold as me. A man who is away from home all year round and makes his wife worry about him.

Gu Tingxiao felt guilty, so he repeatedly warned himself to be better to his wife.

So that when she gets old and looks back, she won’t regret marrying an old man like me.

"Okay, okay, if you want to go out and play in the future, I'll be free to go with you."

Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this. She knew the special nature of Gu Tingxiao's job.

I'm afraid this promise won't be so easy to fulfill.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the family is fine, she is not someone who doesn’t consider the overall situation.

He has his own pursuits in life, and I have my own pursuits in life.

I am not a girl who needs someone to accompany me wherever I go, even if the country develops in the future.

If you want to go play, it’s the same whether you go alone or with your parents and children.

When Gu Tingxiao is free or retires, they will go and see the scenery slowly.

"That's what you said."

"I said so."

He will definitely find a way to fulfill everything he promised his wife.

He will complete it, even if it's a little slow.

Sheng Wanyan looked at him and smiled. This man was really considerate. He not only said it, but also did it.

"I'm hungry."

Gu Tingxiao heard this and went to bring out dinner, and Sheng Wanyan went to wash her hands.

When you wash your hands in cold weather, they become dry.

Sheng Wanyan went in and applied the cold cream on her hands. The dry feeling on her hands disappeared, and then she went out to eat.

Gu Tingxiao made soup today, tomato and egg soup.

Gu Tingxiao has always known that Sheng Wanyan loves to drink soup.

Especially when eating rice, my wife needs a bowl of soup.

Sheng Wanyan finished her meal and Gu Tingxiao cleaned up the dishes.

Prepare a bath for her and wash her feet before going to bed.

After being out for a day, Sheng Wanyan was already tired, especially her feet were very sore.

"acid?"

Gu Tingxiao noticed that he lightly pinched Sheng Wanyan and inhaled cold air, and guessed that she must be tired today.

“Somewhat.”

Gu Tingxiao heard her words and pressed her.

Sheng Wanyan looked at Gu Tingxiao with his head down and serious expression, and could even see the back of his head.

After massaging for a while, Sheng Wanyan felt her legs were comfortable and she enjoyed it.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Better."

When Gu Tingxiao heard this, he understood what was going on. He thought his wife had been riding the bicycle for too long and her calves had been overexerted.
