Chapter 41 Purchasing Wedding Supplies

The next morning.

Su Yue got up very early, which was unusual for her.

She took out the skincare products she had brought from her space, carefully applied them, and then changed into a sky-blue dress.

The dress is the most popular style right now, with a waist-cinching design that perfectly accentuates her slender waist.

She even styled her hair into a pretty princess hairstyle in front of the mirror and tied a bow with a hairband of the same color.

When she stepped out of the room, Gu Beichen, who was practicing boxing in the yard, paused, his breath catching in his throat.

He had seen her dressed simply, and he had seen her in black on the battlefield, decisive and ruthless, but he had never seen her so radiant and beautiful.

The sunlight shone on her, making her glow.

Just then, Aunt Li came out carrying a basin of freshly washed clothes. When she saw Su Yue, her eyes lit up.

"Oh my, Xiao Su, you look so beautiful today! You look like a fairy who stepped out of a painting!"

"Commander Gu, you are truly blessed!"

A rare blush appeared on Gu Beichen's face. He stepped forward and took Su Yue's hand in a very natural manner.

"Let's go shopping."

His large, warm palm enveloped hers, bringing her an unprecedented sense of security.

The two walked out of the courtyard hand in hand, attracting countless admiring glances along the way.

The military wives in the family compound thought Su Yue was just a pretty capitalist's daughter yesterday, but today they realized that she was not just pretty, she was absolutely stunning!

The two arrived at the main gate of the military area to wait for the commuter bus.

Before the car even arrived, the sentries standing guard at the gate were practically staring wide-eyed.

When the vehicle arrived, the soldiers on board were collectively speechless upon seeing Su Yue standing beside Commander Gu.

A daring young soldier sidled up to the guard, Xiao Wang, and whispered, "Brother Wang, is this our future regimental commander's wife? My goodness, she's so beautiful!"

Xiao Wang looked smug and proud.

"Isn't she beautiful? Let me tell you, our sister-in-law is more than just beautiful!"

On the commuter bus, the young soldiers surrounded Xiao Wang, chattering excitedly about him.

"Brother Wang, tell me quickly, what other skills does your wife have?"

Xiao Wang cleared his throat and began his grand project of "blowing on his sister-in-law".

"Our sister-in-law can drive! And her driving skills are amazing! I've ridden in her car, and she's incredibly steady!"

"Wow!"

"Our sister-in-law knows medicine! She can bring the dead back to life with just one silver needle! She's a legendary healer!"

"Wow!!"

"Our sister-in-law can also..."

Just as Xiao Wang was getting into his speech, a discordant voice interrupted.

"Hmph, they're just some low-level tricks. When it comes to the operating table, we're the ones who have studied Western medicine properly."

The one speaking was Shen Qingqing, who was sitting in the corner.

She also went to the provincial capital today and saw Su Yue being praised by everyone like a star, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a young soldier next to her frowned.

"Dr. Shen, you can't say that. I heard that last time Tie Dan had a high fever and convulsions, it was your sister-in-law who saved him with a single injection. That's a life-saving skill, how can it be considered something to be ashamed of?"

Another soldier chimed in, "Exactly! Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, a good doctor is one who can cure the disease! Besides, your wife is so beautiful and capable; I think she and our regimental commander are a match made in heaven!"

"Yes! A perfect match! A match made in heaven!"

Shen Qingqing turned pale from everyone's barrage of criticism, so angry that she couldn't speak and could only turn her head to the window, sulking.

Su Yue didn't even glance at her once, but simply leaned on Gu Beichen's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

The best weapon against such clowns is to ignore them.

We arrived at the provincial capital's department store.

Gu Beichen led Su Yue straight to the furniture section on the third floor.

The old furniture distributed by the military was worn and old, and he had wanted to replace it for a long time.

His women must be the best.

"Comrade, please show us your best furniture." Gu Beichen said to the salesperson.

The sales clerk was exceptionally enthusiastic when she saw that the two were a handsome couple.

"What would you two like to buy? We just received a new batch of goods, including a double bed, a large wardrobe, and a dressing table..."

Looking at the layout of the new house, Su Yue already had a plan in mind.

"A 1.8-meter double bed, the kind with carvings."

"A large wardrobe with four doors."

“A dressing table with a mirror and a chest of drawers.”

"The living room needs a sofa and coffee table, and the dining room needs a rectangular dining table with six chairs."

Su Yue finished speaking in one breath, leaving the sales clerk next to her stunned.

Is this... a sign that they're going to replace all their assets?

Gu Beichen nodded without even blinking.

"Just take it all, as she said. Can you deliver it to my door?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The saleswoman blushed with excitement; this was a huge order! She immediately took out her notebook and wrote it down.

"Comrade, the total is 865 yuan. We need 300 industrial coupons and 100 timber coupons."

Gu Beichen took out a large wad of cash and bills from his pocket and handed them over without hesitation.

"dots".

His hearty and unrestrained manner left the surrounding customers stunned.

After buying the furniture, the two went downstairs to buy the "three major items" or "four major items" for their wedding.

Watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios.

Gu Beichen meant to buy the best of everything.

Su Yue stopped him.

"I already have a watch. I don't need a sewing machine or radio for now, so I'll just buy a bicycle. It will be more convenient for me to get around the military region."

Gu Beichen couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree.

He wanted to take Su Yue to buy new bedding and fabric, and make some new clothes.

Su-yue stopped him again.

"My mom prepared the bedding for my dowry a long time ago. There were so many large items that I didn't bring them with me when I left, so I mailed them. They should arrive in a few days."

Actually, she had already stored the items in her spatial storage; this was just an excuse to bring them out.

“However,” she changed the subject, her eyes curving into crescents, “we still need to buy two sets of wedding clothes.”

What woman doesn't love pretty clothes?

The two then went to the clothing section and picked out two sets of the latest styles of clothing.

After buying everything, looking at the delivery cart following behind her and the large and small bags in her hands, Su Yue belatedly realized that their entourage was a bit too large.

She suddenly remembered a crucial question, stopped in her tracks, and looked up at the man beside her.

"By the way, Gu Beichen."

"Our wedding was such a grand affair, have you... told your family yet?"
