The next day.

As dawn broke, Su Ying and Gu Sinian quietly got up, afraid of waking their two little darlings.

These two little ones just love going out to play. Knowing they can go out to play, they'd happily follow along.

In order to ensure a smooth trip, the two of them dared not make a sound when they walked.

As soon as the two stepped out of the room, Gu Siqing had already prepared breakfast. The couple looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Big sister. You got up so early to make us breakfast, but it's really not necessary. We can just go to the county town to eat."

"Although this tractor is faster than the oxcart, it still takes half an hour to get to the county town. What if we go hungry along the way?"

"Can……"

Su Ying wanted to say something more, but Gu Sinian stopped her. Her older sister had already prepared breakfast, so what was the point of saying anything more?

Gu Siqing pulled Su Ying to sit down and eat breakfast, while Gu Siqing sat to the side watching them.

Su Ying felt a little embarrassed. It was the first time she had been stared at so intently, and suddenly the porridge in her hand didn't taste so good anymore.

"Big sister, why don't you have some too?"

"No, no, I'll eat later. I'll eat when they all get up."

Since that's what they said, she couldn't say anything more, so she ate the porridge in her bowl in big mouthfuls.

The bowl was empty in no time. "Come on, have an egg too, it'll make your diet more balanced."

She was so full, she couldn't eat anymore.

Gu Sinian took it directly, saying, "I'm not full, give it to me."

"By the way, sister, I'll leave the child in your care."

"Don't worry. You can go about your business without worrying about the child being with me."

"OK."

Gu Sinian didn't stand on ceremony, grabbed his wife and ran, "We're leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

As soon as they stepped out, Sun Xuelin was already waiting at the door. The couple, who had just stepped out, didn't react in time and were almost scared out of their wits.

"You're dressed up as a ghost story early in the morning? Don't you know how to come inside?"

Sun Xuelin smiled sheepishly, "Isn't it best not to disturb you here? My father repeatedly told me this early in the morning not to disturb your rest."

Sun Xuelin really wanted to go and see what the black market was like, but his father was always worried about him and had never let him go to the black market alone.

He wants to broaden his horizons today.

"Can I come with you?"

Without even thinking, Gu Sinian refused outright, "No way."

"Why? Don't you even need to think about it? You just refuse outright?"

"No need to think, just refuse. Forget about the black market. If something goes wrong, how are we supposed to explain it to the captain?"

"Besides, you've been delivering goods all over the place for the past three years, and many people know you."

“If someone reports us, how will we do business in Liushu Village? We are different. We are from Beijing. Besides, we haven’t been here for three years. We are very unfamiliar faces to people in the county.”

"Also, we don't need to be locals. We'll leave after a month, so even if someone wants to check, they won't be able to find out."

Sun Xuelin had never been to the black market before; he just wanted to broaden his horizons, but he never expected things to be so complicated.

According to Comrade Gu, he should not go, because if things go wrong, it will be troublesome if no one in the village delivers the goods.

He was the only one in Willow Village who knew how to drive a tractor.

"Never mind then. I won't go. You guys be careful."

Gu Sinian took the keys and walked towards the tractor.

"We'll be going now. You don't have any deliveries today, right?"

"No, no. I called them one by one yesterday to tell them that I had something to do today and it was not suitable to deliver today, but I would resume delivery tomorrow."

"That's good."

Gu Sinian took Su Ying's hand and left, not even giving Sun Xuelin a second glance.

Sun Xuelin's teeth itched.

"My goodness, you've been married for years, do you really have to do this? Holding hands in public, who are you trying to blind with your love?"

"We can't control them."

The two got on the tractor and slowly drove out of Liushu Village, heading towards the county town.

As soon as they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Ying started making a big sale, while Gu Sinian looked at the list in his hand.

The list he had didn't seem very useful...

Because young wives buy things according to their own preferences.

The man shook his head helplessly and handed the list to the staff member, saying, "Pick out the items according to the list above. If you don't have them, draw them out and I'll buy them elsewhere."

The staff member nodded, "Okay, comrade, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."

"Thanks."

"You and your wife can take another look at what you need, and we can calculate the cost together later."

Gu Sinian nodded and said nothing more. He always maintained a safe distance from women.

After buying the goods, the two loaded them onto the tractor, and when no one was around, they put everything back into their spatial storage.

Is there anything else I need to buy?

"Buy more shoes for the kids. They're both very naughty and wear out shoes quickly, plus our base is far away..."

Okay. Let's go now.

When they came out of the department store, the two of them had a lot more things in their hands.

Gu Sinian glanced at his watch and, seeing that it was still early, asked, "Have you bought everything?"

"almost."

"Where else would you like to go? I'll accompany you today."

With the man being so well-behaved today, how could Su Ying possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

"Why don't we go to the black market? There are many things that you can't buy on the black market in the East Market."

Gu Sinian licked his lips. His wife was right. Many of the specialties in Dongshi could not be bought anywhere else.

If you have the chance today, go take a stroll through the black market.

"Shall we disguise ourselves?"

"Can."

This time, the two of them made a new breakthrough in their disguises, but Gu Sinian was not very satisfied with the makeup and styling.

"Isn't this a bad idea?"

Su Ying lifted the man's chin and kissed him on the lips. "There's nothing wrong with it."

"This kind of flamboyant outfit is more convincing; no one will notice you."

The man looked at himself in the mirror with a mixture of awkwardness and confusion, which completely overturned his perception.

Oh my god.

As a soldier, I hate this kind of frivolous attire the most. My wife actually dressed me up like this. I can't bear to look at it.

"Do you really think it looks good?"

Su Ying nodded, "You look great. You're wearing a big gold necklace, sunglasses, and a floral shirt. It's completely different from your usual image, and it's refreshing."

He was quite resistant to his outfit today; it was all a mess and didn't look right at all.

"I have a righteous look, but you've dressed me up like a thug. Do you think that suits me?"

“It suits you well. You usually wear either military uniforms or black, white, or gray clothes, so this looks good.”

"Look how handsome he is!"

The man looked utterly dejected; he was already dressed, so what could he possibly say?

"Let's go. Let's go to the black market first. If we dawdle any longer, all the good stuff will be bought up."

"Let's go."

Su Ying's clothes weren't changed much, but she put on a long wig, which made her look strangely compatible with Gu Sinian when they stood together.
