Qiu Yuling thought about it seriously and decided to go see what the hotel had to offer before making a decision.

It seemed like she could order food.

Li Xingyao chuckled, "If you want to eat something and the restaurant doesn't have it today, I'll make it for you."

"Forget it, you should take a break too. This New Year, you're the busiest person, inside and out. Look at you, others gain weight during the New Year, but you lose weight..."

His tone was filled with heartache. That was what Li Xingyao heard anyway. He straightened his back and said, "What's the big deal? As long as you're happy, I'm happy to live like this every day."

In the end, they ate at a state-owned restaurant. They ordered cold bean sprouts, stir-fried pork with celery, and cabbage with vinegar. "...and braised fish and tofu soup."

Qiu Yuling tried to stop him and asked him to order a lot.

"There are only two of us, and we can't finish this much." Qiu Yuling scolded him for asking for too much.

"It's okay. Just set aside some money and I'll send it back to my parents. Then they don't have to make arrangements themselves at noon."

Well, that's a bit less.

When Qiu Yuling heard this arrangement, she stood up and went over to add another dish of stir-fried pork and cold-mixed pig ears. "Did you bring your lunch box?"

Li Xingyao miraculously pulled out a net bag from behind him. Inside was several aluminum lunch boxes stacked together. Qiu Yuling hadn't noticed this before...

After dinner, he asked Qiu Yuling to drink noodle soup in the store, and after finishing, she stayed there to rest and wait for him. He then got on his bicycle, went out in a flash, and came back in a flash.

Seeing Qiu Yuling basking in the sun at the foot of the hotel wall from a distance, he whistled, "Come up!"

Qiu Yuling jumped up heavily, and Li Xingyao deliberately shook the car crookedly... The two of them played around all the way.

After coming out of the theater, Qiu Yuling thought that today's itinerary should be over, but she never expected that there were still plans.

Li Xingyao pulled her to the department store. "During the New Year, didn't you say that Third Sister-in-law's woolen skirt was pretty? Come on, let's buy you one too. You're tall, so it will definitely look even better on you!"

No, that was polite business complimenting each other. Women get together to talk about food, clothes and accessories, and of course they also compare men and children, but in their relationship, the second one is not even allowed on the table.

As for the rest, she doesn't praise this sister-in-law for her dexterity, or that sister-in-law for her beauty and intelligence. If someone doesn't have these qualities, she will praise them for their dressing skills. Isn't this a normal clause in the code of diplomatic relations?

Li Xingyao didn't listen to her explanation, believing that she was afraid of spending money. "It's okay, we have money. Besides, there's money from my parents, I've accepted it all..."

It’s not popular to rely on your parents these days!

Furthermore, she had originally had the impression that Li Xingyao was a stern and formal person. She had never expected that in real life, he could be so flexible, playful, and lively, which made her feel like she had found a new man.

Li Xingyao not only wanted to buy clothes for his wife, but he also won a TV ticket because of his outstanding work performance. Previously, televisions were always out of stock in the department store in Wu City, but he finally got inside information and learned that they would be in stock today.

He had asked someone to leave something for him early in the morning, and now he was just waiting to give Qiu Yuling a big surprise.

It was only March now, and thick clothes could still be worn for a while. At Li Xingyao's insistence, he bought Qiu Yuling a complete set of clothes from head to toe.

Cashmere sweater, cashmere skirt with a wide hem, small leather shoes with laces, and finally she also fell in love with a beige cashmere coat.

Qiu Yuling was planning to take the other items, but she pushed the coat back, saying she already had one.

"It's okay, comrade. We want it. Please pick it out." Li Xingyao insisted that she wear the whole outfit. "You've been wearing that for years. New Year, new look. I was too busy and neglected it before the New Year. From now on, I'll change your whole outfit every New Year. I won't let you lose out..."

"Comrade, your wife is so thoughtful to you." The sales clerks are not the kind who treat everyone with a cold shoulder. They are also happy to serve those who are obviously well-off and generous.

Besides, the two of them standing there were really pleasing to the eye. Plus, other families were still discussing how they had to eat meat dumplings for Chinese New Year, but they were saying they had to make their wives wear new clothes from head to toe during the Chinese New Year...

Qiu Yuling only slightly refused, then happily accepted it. Not only that, she also changed into it on the spot.

Qiu Yuling's hair was always tied up. When she changed into a cashmere sweater, her hair got messed up, so she simply took it apart and combed it again.

The traces of the folds look like natural big waves, and combined with the outfit, they are very eye-catching.

"This is the behavior of capitalists. How dare they act so brazenly? Let the Revolutionary Committee investigate them..."

Some people appreciate beauty, and there are always some who think they are righteous. There were two men and women who were just walking around the counter. They wanted to try on that wool coat, but the salesperson said with a sullen face that they couldn't try it on and would only let them buy it. He also said, "Pay the money, it's yours, try it on however you want..."

Seeing that the other party had a different attitude towards Qiu Yuling and the others, he instantly became furious. The two of them exchanged glances and immediately went to the Revolutionary Committee to report.

They went in very quickly. Li Xingyao carried Qiu Yuling's old clothes and took her for a walk inside. The main point was that they were waiting for their TV. A group of people rushed in and first went to the counter where clothes were sold.

Following the guidance of the crowd, he finally found Qiu Yuling and Li Xingyao. "What do you do? The public has reported that you are the fish that have slipped through the net of capital..."

Li Xingyao stood in front of his wife and said, "Hello, comrade, this is my work ID."

The leader took the work permit, examined it over and over, and handed it back to him. "Where's the woman?"

"Wife, do you have your work permit with you? Show it to the comrades of the Revolutionary Committee."

Qiu Yuling frowned and asked him in a cold voice, "Which one do you want?..."

Li Xingyao took out a stack of work certificates from his wife's schoolbag and handed them all over.

At first, the people on the opposite side were arrogant and impatient, but the two people who followed the Revolutionary Committee team to report were inexplicably excited.

Gradually, they stopped laughing, and their postures and tones became more respectful. "So it's Director Qiu. We don't usually meet each other. This is just bad luck. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family members don't recognize each other anymore..."

After a few pleasantries, he handed back the stack of work permits. Knowing that Li Xingyao was waiting to pick up the goods, he thoughtfully asked two young staff members to stay with him, "You two, help Director Qiu and the others return the TV. Be careful not to damage it.

Comrade Li, Director Qiu, you can stroll around without worry. We'll go back first. If you have any difficulties later, please contact the organization immediately..."

After they walked a long way out, the leader sent his followers away and told them to bring back the two idiots who had just made random reports out of jealousy. "Go, teach them a lesson. Socialist harmony is ruined by these bastards..."

"Director, who are those two? Why don't you just take them back? You always say that it's okay to take them first, but you can't wait to see what happens..."
