Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Taste (Catching Bugs)

Ye Tan was dragged to look at the radio. Gu Zhao had a very straight-forward aesthetic, and when he got there he immediately fell in love with a dark red radio with peony flowers on it.

It was about the size of two palms, with a handle on it, and a very festive color, but Ye Tan looked at the silver-gray one next door and still thought that one looked better.

Gu Zhao noticed Ye Tan's gaze, but did not insist. He just picked it up and let Ye Tan take a good look: "This one is also okay. The color is elegant and simple." It's just too low-key.

Red is so nice, it’s obvious that it’s something for a wedding.

Ye Tan didn't know what Gu Zhao was muttering in his heart. He held the silver-gray radio and looked it over from front to back. He quickly found the switch and the tape.

The salesperson had already noticed that the couple was so generous in buying the sewing machine, and knowing that they must be an engaged couple who were going to get married, he came over with a smile and introduced the machine to Ye Tan. At the end, he took out a tape to teach Ye Tan how to install and play the machine, and even played a sound for her to listen to.

Ye Tan felt that the sound quality was indeed good. It could not be compared with that of later generations, but it was the best at present.

"How much?"

"These are clearly marked with a price tag of three hundred and thirty-five dollars."

That's almost as big as two sewing machines.

The salesperson knew the item was expensive, so after mentioning the price, he explained, "This radio is the latest model. It can receive a lot of channels, and the sound quality is clearer than before. It's more practical than a TV, but it's much cheaper."

"Don't worry, you won't feel bad if you buy it. Of course, we have a cheaper one here, an older model, for only 286 yuan. However, the sound quality won't be as good as this one. If you want, I can play it for you to compare."

Ye Tan thought it was expensive, but he had no plans to change it. If he did buy it, he would just buy the best.

She handed the one in her hand to the salesperson: "No, this is it. Please help us pack it up."

The salesperson smiled with satisfaction, then squatted down and pulled out a dozen cassettes from the box below. "These are good gifts for you guys. Take a look. They're not brand new, but they're all usable."

Ye Tan did not refuse the free gift. He selected a few songs himself and let Gu Zhao choose.

Gu Zhao didn't have anything he liked, so he finally chose some popular song tapes, which the salesperson helped him pack together.

"Go back and listen. If there are any problems along the way, we will repair them."

Ye Tan didn't expect that the product would be covered by lifetime after-sales service. "Can the warranty also be extended to other cities?"

The salesperson said: "Yes, as long as the radio is sold at a large shopping mall, we will repair it. You can use it with confidence. Go home and keep the invoice. We will need to check the receipt when the time comes for maintenance." This is to prevent people from buying things from speculators.

People say that waiters have bad attitudes at this time, but the ones she encountered today were all quite good. "Comrade, you are really nice. You introduced it very carefully. You will definitely get a promotion and a raise in the future if you work so hard."

The salesperson was indeed competing with several others for a management position recently, and Ye Tan's words hit the nail on the head.

The salesperson was extremely happy. "Hey, good luck to you. Here, this tape is a new single from the Sweet Song Queen over there. I'm giving it to you. Be careful not to let this radio get wet when you get it back, or it might cause bad contacts."

The salesperson enthusiastically sent Ye Tan away, and turned back to hum a song with a smile.

The salesperson across the street was her biggest competitor. Seeing her happy, he came over and deliberately gossiped, "Why are you so happy? Are you attracted to that gay guy? He's handsome, but unfortunately he's already in a relationship."

The salesperson's smile turned cold, and he turned around and said, "People with a bad heart really don't see anything clean."

The salesperson opposite...

Ye Tan and Gu Zhao, who were walking away, had no idea about the lawsuit that was going on. They went straight up to the second floor to where watches were sold.

Gu Zhao didn't look at it much and directly ordered a piece of the most famous brand. It was the same model as the one on his wrist, but one was a simple and elegant men's model and the other was a delicate and small women's model. The price was not as much as a radio, but buying one would make people feel painful for a long time.

The salesperson took out a silver thin-chain watch with a simple and smooth pattern on the dial. Gu Zhao took it, held Ye Tan's hand and asked her to try it on. It fit well and looked good.

Ye Tan's wrist is slender and white, but not the kind of bony thinness. Instead, it looks soft and fleshy, and with the silver watch, it is a perfect match.

The saleswoman was a 30-year-old lesbian. She looked at Ye Tan's wrist wearing the watch and praised her: "Girl, you have fair skin. This watch looks very good on you, especially for you."

Ye Tan also thought it looked good on her. She looked at Gu Zhao and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." He answered sincerely.

Gu Zhao's big hand was still holding Ye Tan's hand, feeling the soft, innocent and smooth touch. This hand was born to wear a watch.

The salesperson saw Gu Zhao's expression and knew that the man was also very satisfied with the watch, and felt that he would definitely get the order today.

"I see this comrade is also wearing one of our men's watches. Since you two are such a good match, it would be best if the girl wore this watch."

Gu Zhaoxian loved hearing this kind of praise about how they were made for each other. He immediately took out the ticket and said, "This one, no need to take it off, let's just wear it."

Ye Tan's mouth corners unconsciously raised: "Thank you."

Gu Zhao didn't like her politeness and said dissatisfiedly: "We are getting married soon, why are you saying thank you? What's mine is yours."

After the two left the watch counter, Gu Zhao bought everything else. Ye Tan only expressed his opinion when buying bedding, reducing the price of the Big Red Peony sheets from two sets to one.

This thing is only used on the wedding day. Who would use bright red every day at other times?

But Gu Zhao felt that one set was too few: "Two sets, so we can exchange them."

"Then we will buy more fabrics suitable for making bedding. When we have a sewing machine, we can make it ourselves. There is no need to buy ready-made ones." The bright red flowers are a bit dazzling to Ye Tan, who prefers solid colors.

She insists that one set is enough, and she won’t buy any more and make them herself.

Gu Zhao still looked at the remaining set of sheets reluctantly: "How beautiful it is to see flowers blooming and prosperous."

Ye Tan put down the Dielianhua in his hand and picked up the Hua Kai Fugui: "Then take this one."

Gu Zhao looked at the Butterfly Love Flower again and said, "This one looks good too."

Ye Tan: "I can only take one set, you choose."

Gu Zhao: "...May the flowers bloom and the wealth come." He then asked his mother to buy a few more sets.

Ye Tan felt that Gu Zhao’s aesthetic taste was hopeless.

He picked up the Blooming Flowers and asked the salesperson to pack them up quickly, so that Gu Zhao wouldn't ask for Butterfly Love Flowers again if he was slow.

Next came some wedding cakes and pastries. Gu Zhao picked and chose and bought a lot of them, and then the two planned to go back.

As a result, when he passed by a person buying scarves downstairs, Gu Zhao stopped again.

"The scarf is nice, buy one."

Ye Tan looked over there with disdain: "Are you sure you want me to wear this in the summer?"

Gu Zhao: "It will give you prickly heat, but you can prepare it for winter."

Ye Tan waved his hand: "Then buy it in winter."

When Gu Zhao heard that she really didn't want it, he could only give up with regret.

The two of them carried a lot of bags into the car, filling up the back seat and trunk. As soon as Ye Tan sat in the passenger seat, his stomach growled.

Gu Zhao chuckled: "Eat first?"

Ye Tan also felt that it would be better to appease his stomach first.

Afraid of going to the restaurant, Ye Tan drank Beibingyang soda, which dissipated a lot of the summer heat. Under the electric fan in the store, Ye Tan didn't want to leave.

I didn’t think about it before, but now that I’m sweating all over, I realize that electric fans are a must-have for every household in this season.

Gu Zhao came back with the food and saw Ye Tan staring at the electric fan, so he put a bowl of rice in front of Ye Tan.

"I have an electric fan at home. I bought it during the Dragon Boat Festival last year for my mother. When I get to the army, we'll buy another one."

Ye Tan was happy in his heart: "That's great."

The time when she came was still relatively good, as we had basic household appliances. Otherwise, ten years ago, it would have been difficult to even get food, let alone electric fans.

After finishing their meal slowly with the electric fan on, the two of them rested for a while before going back. Gu Zhao drove the car directly to his home.

On the way, he asked Ye Tan: "Can we go to my house first?"

Ye Tan didn't think it was impossible. Since they had both reached this point, it was reasonable for her to go to the man's house. She was also curious about what Gu Zhao's house was like. After all, it was a place where she would need to live for a while.

Today, Lin Qiuyun ran around outside for most of the day to prepare. After finishing her meal, she sat in the main room to check whether everything was ready.

When I heard the car horn outside, I knew my son was back. I put down my things and went out, and was surprised to see Ye Tan there too.

She enthusiastically took Ye Tan's hand and said, "Xiao Tan, you're here. Are you hot? Come into the house and have a glass of water to cool down." She ignored her son beside her and pulled Ye Tan into the house, turning on the fan and blowing it directly at Ye Tan.

Ye Tan didn't feel comfortable taking up all the space in the fan, so he moved aside and dragged the stool next to him over to the fan so that Lin Qiuyun, who would be arriving later, could also enjoy the breeze.

Lin Qiuyun came over with a can of food and smiled knowingly when she saw the stool. The daughter-in-law knew that being considerate was a good thing, so she sat down directly and opened the can of food for Ye Tan.

"This was given to me by Gu Zhao's team. He doesn't usually like to drink it, so he sent it all back to me. I can't drink so much by myself. This can of oranges is sour and sweet. You girls should like it. Give it to him and save it for you. Don't send it home. I've eaten enough of it in the past few years."

Ye Tan took it with both hands and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie."

She held it in her hand and took a sip. It was sour and sweet, a rare sweet food in that period, and could not be bought outside.

Seeing that she liked it, Lin Qiuyun smiled and said, "There are still a lot of them at home. I'll bring them to you when I go back. They are all covered in dust here. By the way, have you eaten? I'll make some." As she said that, she stood up and went to the kitchen.

Ye Tan quickly held her back: "Don't bother me, Auntie. Gu Zhao took me out to eat just now."

Lin Qiuyun: "That's good. Then you sit here and rest for a while. I'll go see if that kid has bought everything."

Ye Tan couldn't sit alone, so he followed her to the corridor to see the things Gu Zhao had moved back.

Gu Zhao came back with the radio and saw Ye Tan standing in the corridor. He wiped the sweat off his face and showed his white teeth: "Why are you standing outside? Mom, go back to the house and get some fresh air. It's too hot today. I can finish moving in a short while."

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Ye Tan walked up to him and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

When Gu Zhao saw her, he immediately lowered his head and put his face in front of her obediently.

Ye Tan smiled at him, raised his hand and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, but saw that his collar was soaked, and suddenly felt a little distressed in his heart.

"Why don't you take a break and wait until the afternoon when the sun isn't as strong before you clean up? There's no rush."

Seeing the distress in Ye Tan's eyes, Gu Zhao couldn't help but grin: "It's okay, it's just a little stuff, we can unload it in one trip. Go to the house with mom quickly, don't get too hot."

After saying this, Gu Zhao turned around and went out again. His steps were so brisk that it didn't feel like he was walking in the summer, but more like he was walking in the spring breeze.

The young couple had a close relationship. Lin Qiuyun had been keeping a low profile by their side, pretending to look through something. Only after her son left did she stand up and pull Ye Tan back into the house.

"Xiao Zhao is used to doing these things, so let him be busy and we can take a rest. Don't worry, he has thick skin and the sun won't hurt him." Lin Qiuyun said and looked at Ye Tan with a smile.

Ye Tan felt a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, picked up the can he had not finished and took another sip.

Before she could swallow a mouthful, Gu Zhao came back from outside carrying the last few things. Ye Tan glanced over there and saw the blue veins on the back of Gu Zhao's hand bulging from exertion. She thought of the touch of this hand around her waist and the Minions running around at that time. Her face flushed and she tilted her head back and took another big sip of the sweet and sour orange juice to suppress the heat.

Gu Zhao went back and forth several times to finish the work, then went to the well to wash his face and came back. He stood in front of Ye Tan and wiped his wet short hair a few times, then dragged a stool and squeezed next to Ye Tan.

Ye Tan was bumped on the arm by him and moved to the side, but Gu Zhao raised his hand in dissatisfaction and dragged her back with the stool.

Ye Tan's body swayed, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Gu Zhao held down a corner of her stool to prevent her from moving any further. "If you move any further, you won't be able to get any wind."

Then you keep squeezing me, and you don’t even feel the heat.

Ye Tan didn't feel comfortable glaring at Gu Zhao in front of Lin Qiuyun, so he could only accept his fate and sit next to him.

Lin Qiuyun looked at the sweet couple and felt extremely satisfied. Her son had found the girl he liked, and no one was happier than her. Seeing that Ye Tan cared about her son and did not seem to be a stranger because they had known each other for too short a time, she felt even more relieved.

Gu Zhao: "Is the canned food delicious?"

Ye Tan took the can and took another sip, nodded and said, "It's delicious, do you want some?" She meant to get him a new one. Gu Zhao responded directly, "Okay." After that, he took Ye Tan's hand, brought the remaining half of the can to his mouth and took a big sip. Ye Tan also saw that he deliberately changed his position and drank from the place where she had drunk.

Ye Tan looked at her so embarrassed that his toes were digging into the ground. He said, "Brother, it's okay for you to be flirty behind her back, and she likes it. But now your own mother is sitting in front of you, can you have some shame?"

Ye Tan's face, which had not cooled down before, was now really red. She resisted the urge to cover her face with her waist and screamed in her heart: I wonder what Aunt Lin thinks of them.

Gu Zhao, however, acted as if no one was around. He tasted the drink carefully after finishing it, and gave Ye Tan a gentle evaluation: "Not bad, it is indeed delicious, sweeter than before."

Ye Tan: “…”

Lin Qiuyun felt a pang of pain in her teeth as she cursed the bastard in her heart. She stood up and rubbed her waist: "Oh, I'm really tired after running all morning. So I'm going to rest in the house for a while."

Ye Tan stood up: "Auntie, how about I give you a massage, it will make you feel much more comfortable."

Lin Qiuyun wanted her to accompany him during the massage, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's nothing serious. I'm just tired. I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

"Xiao Zhao, accompany Xiao Tan to your room to rest for a while. Take a look at the furniture and the bed to see if there's anything that's out of place. Let Xiao Tan see what she wants to change. Then go get it and put it in there."

Gu Zhao: "I understand, Mom."

Lin Qiuyun pounded her waist and went back to her room. Once she closed the door, she was afraid of hearing the couple's movements outside.

Since there was no one else around, Gu Zhao became more relaxed.

He directly took Ye Tan's soft hand and stood up: "Come on, I'll show you our room."

Ye Tan had never been to a man's room, except for her brother's. Not to mention that this man was her husband with whom she would soon get a marriage certificate. It would be a lie to say that she was not confused.

However, Ye Tan did not object. Just take a look. Liang Gu Zhao did not dare to do anything too excessive to her at this time.

Gu Zhao really didn't dare to do anything too extreme to her. He just squeezed her between the wardrobes and kissed her hard. At the beginning, it was just like the first time Ye Tan kissed him, just rubbing their lips together. In the end, Ye Tan was the first to open the new door.

It is said that men are naturally good at this. After a small hint from Ye Tan, Gu Zhao paused for a moment, then dived in like a fish into water, wrapping himself around another small fish and kissing it hard, refusing to let go.

Ye Tan felt a numbness at the root of his tongue and a little pain. He couldn't help but reach out to touch Gu Zhao's arm and ask him to be gentler.

Gu Zhao responded by moving closer.

This was the second time the two of them kissed. The first time was at the dead end before. They just simply touched their lips together, and Gu Zhao didn't react at all, which made Ye Tan feel nothing. She was a little disappointed.

Until now, Ye Tan finally got a response from Gu Zhao, but the response was too much and too strong, and she could not bear it.

Seeing that Gu Zhao was getting more and more excited with the kiss, his big hands pinched her so hard that it hurt, and he seemed to want to force her into his body. Ye Tan's mouth was also sore, but he still didn't let go. Ye Tan was in so much pain that she could only find the only soft spot on Gu Zhao's body and pinched it hard to wake him up.

"Hmm." Gu Zhao, who was fascinated by the kiss, moaned and let go of Ye Tan. He looked at Ye Tan with eyes full of strong emotions, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect Ye Tan to pinch him here.

Ye Tan panted heavily, put his hands on his chest, and said with a hiss, "You hurt me."

Oh my God, who would bite the tongue when kissing and not let go, and then nibble it hard into his mouth.

This is a kiss, not cannibalism.

She almost thought Gu Zhao was going to eat her tongue.

So at this moment Ye Tan's tongue was numb and painful, his lips were also numb and tingling, and his eyes were even red from the smoke.

Looking at Ye Tan's red eyes, slightly swollen lips, and charming face, she looked miserable at the moment, as if she had been severely bullied, and he was the one who was bullied.

Gu Zhao reached out and touched the red corner of Ye Tan's lips, looking puzzled: "How could this happen?"

Ye Tan slapped his hand away, took out a small mirror and looked at herself. She felt so embarrassed that she couldn't face anyone.

She looked at him with a pair of red eyes in annoyance: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? How am I going to face people later?" Needless to say, others could tell what they had done at a glance.

Gu Zhao scratched his head, not understanding why Ye Tan became like this after just a kiss. However, he couldn't let his wife embarrass herself.

After thinking about it, Gu Zhao went outside to get some cold water, wet a towel and applied it to Ye Tan's eyes. After pulling it back a few times, it did have some effect. At least Ye Tan's eyes were not so red anymore, and it didn't look like he was bullied. However, the swelling in his mouth was not easy to reduce.

Ye Tan looked at herself in the small mirror again and pursed her lips, which had become much fuller, uncomfortably.

Gu Zhao had been staring at her face from the side, and at this moment he couldn't help but follow the movement of Ye Tan's lips. The red lips looked even more crystal clear and tempting to pick because of the redness and swelling. Thinking of the touch of the kiss before, it was soft and sweet, like the best delicacy in the world, which made him want to taste it more than ever.

Gu Zhao thought about it, his dark eyes lingering, his Adam's apple rolling unconsciously, showing a bit of anxiety.

No wonder those married people in the army always said that you will know how good your wife is after you get married.

It turns out this is the best.

With his lovely wife in his arms, whispering to her in their ears, he wants it too now.

Gu Zhao held Ye Tan's beautiful face in his hands and said in a low voice, "Let's do it again."

Ye Tan was unwilling to do so and pushed him away: "No, I want to go home."

Gu Zhao's legs seemed to be welded together, and Ye Tan couldn't push him at all. She was trapped between the wardrobe and him, and couldn't get away.

After kissing her, their relationship took a step further. Gu Zhao was surprisingly bold at this time. He put his arms around her and held her in his arms. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "How can you go out like this? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" At this moment, Ye Tan was charming and beautiful, and her eyes were full of infinite charm. How could he bear to let others see it?

Ye Tan was angry, but she couldn't break free. She was trapped in such a small space, and her nostrils were filled with his strong masculine scent. The oppressive feeling made her almost unable to breathe.

She felt dizzy from the smoke and couldn't help but push him again: "Don't get so close to me... It's so hot."

Gu Zhao: "Then I'll go get the fan in."

Then you can bully me, right?

Ye Tan complained in his heart. His breath made her pretty little face even redder than when she was kissed before. Her eyes were moist, as if drops of water would fall from them at any moment. She was clearly glaring at him, but it also looked like she was flirting.

Gu Zhao felt soft-hearted and kissed her at the corner of her eye.

After the kiss, he took advantage of Ye Tan's inattention to support the back of his head, lowered his head and kissed the red lips that were so close to him, but this time he was very restrained in kissing her, just a light taste, so as not to annoy Ye Tan. Finally, he hugged Ye Tan's soft waist and said in a hoarse voice: "If you don't agree, I won't force it. Don't be afraid, don't be anxious, you are about to cry."

Ye Tan was stubborn and rubbed his chest fiercely and said angrily: "Who wants to cry?"

She didn't want to cry.

Gu Zhao snorted and chuckled, then said obediently: "Okay, if you don't want to cry, then kiss me for a while longer." He pretended to chase her red lips.

Ye Tan quickly covered her mouth, "Gu Zhao, stop it!"

Gu Zhao laughed heartily, released Ye Tan's waist, and raised his hands in surrender: "My dear girl, I was just joking, don't be angry...hiss! Xiao Tan, I was wrong."

Ye Tan used his middle and index fingers to twist Gu Zhao's gluteus maximus again, raising his delicate chin: "Laugh, keep laughing?"

Gu Zhao's body froze, and after a while he begged for mercy in a low voice: "Don't dare to laugh anymore. Can you forgive me this time?"

Ye Tan snorted and loosened his fingers: "I'll let you go this time, but if you make fun of me again next time, I'll bite you."

Gu Zhao put his hand behind him to cover the place where he was injured for the second time. It didn't hurt much, but no one could stay calm in this place, let alone the girl he loved. To him, this action was just teasing and seduction.

She also wants to bite him, where should she bite?

After looking at Ye Tan's little mouth for a long time, Gu Zhao took a deep breath and turned his eyes away, stopping himself from continuing to fantasize.

Ye Tan made a small threat casually, confusing everyone's mind. However, she calmly fixed her hair in front of the mirror and washed her face with cold water. After applying the water back and forth, she finally suppressed the blush. She patted her face. Although there was still a little red at the corners of her eyes, it was not so red that people would think of something wrong. "Just take me home."

Gu Zhao straightened his collar and said, "Are you sure? Your mouth is still swollen."

"Who can see me sitting in the car?" She just covers herself when there are people around.

Gu Zhao looked at the sky. The sun was still high in the sky. "It's very hot now. Why don't you rest for a while and take a nap. I'll take you back after the sun sets."

Ye Tan refused: "No, not now." She was still taking a nap. How could she sleep with him here? What if she couldn't help herself?

She absolutely rejects any premarital behavior.

Since Ye Tan insisted so much, Gu Zhao had no choice but to send her home.

The two of them deliberately made very little noise, for fear of disturbing Lin Qiuyun and noticing Ye Tan's embarrassment.

Gu Zhao sent Ye Tan to the door of the Ye family. The other three people in the family had gone to work and there was no one at home. Gu Zhao did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. He sent Ye Tan to the door in a proper manner. He also put the things that Ye Tan should bring back on the table in the main hall and did not even dare to ask to go into Ye Tan's boudoir to sit.

Gu Zhao: "Then I'll go back."

Ye Tanza waved from inside the door: "Be careful on your way, I won't see you off."

Gu Zhao said with concern: "Then go back to your room and get some sleep. You must be very tired this morning."

Ye Tan: "Well, you should go back and have some rest."

Gu Zhao stood there for a while, unable to find anything to say. He sighed and said, "Then I'll be leaving." He returned to the rental car and said, "Then please close the door properly. Don't open it alone."

Ye Tan: "...Go away quickly." She is not a child, so she keeps giving warnings and instructions.

Hearing Ye Tan's impatient tone, Gu Zhao smiled helplessly, "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Hearing the sound of the car driving away, Ye Tan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his lips. It was unlike him to be so hesitant.

She closed the door, went back to her room, lay down, and covered her face with a book.

She bit her lips lightly, the hot breath seemed to still linger on them.

Thinking of how she was powerless in Gu Zhao's arms before, shame surged over her and she pounded the bed.

She really didn't expect Gu Zhao to be so strong in this regard. Although he had no experience as a relative, his aura was enough to overwhelm everything, making it impossible for her to resist at all.

He must be very good at subduing people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make her unable to move so skillfully.

She turned over and buried her face in the quilt, complaining in her heart: How can there be such a close friend? He just rushes forward without caring about anything.

I will never kiss him again.

Ye Tan complained for a while, but couldn't help laughing when he thought of Gu Zhao's surprise when he was pinched by him. He was angry and laughing at the same time. Ye Tan didn't know when he fell asleep.

Maybe she was really tired in the morning. When she woke up, everyone who was supposed to get off work had gone home, and Xu Huiling had almost prepared dinner.

Ye Tan got up and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt good. The swelling on his lips had subsided and his complexion looked normal.

She combed her hair and looked carefully in the mirror. There was no trace of the kiss on her face. She went out to help set the table. As she did so, Xu Huiling noticed the watch on her daughter's wrist and asked with a smile, "Did Xiao Gu buy it for you?"

Ye Tan raised his wrist to show her: "Here, it's the best brand. Doesn't it look good on your daughter?"

Xu Huiling examined it carefully for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction. "Of course it looks good. My daughter is so pretty, with well-proportioned wrists and muscles, she can handle anything. Have you bought a sewing machine, too?"

"All the big items mentioned on the gift list have been bought, and he will bring them over tomorrow."

When Xu Huiling came back, she didn't see the bicycle. So she asked her, "The bicycle was part of our dowry. Did you leave it at their house?"

Ye Tan: "How could that be? I didn't buy a bicycle."

Xu Huiling was stunned. "Why didn't you buy it? Don't you have enough money?"

Ye Tan waved his hand: "Of course the money is enough, but I was thinking that I would follow the army in the future, so what would I do with the bicycle?"

"Gu Zhao's family already has one, so keeping another one at home would be redundant. It might get worn out after a while, and I'm afraid outsiders might make irresponsible remarks if I keep it at home. So I decided not to buy it for now. I'll keep the money and buy it when I get there."

Xu Huiling was a little worried: "Is this okay?"

Ye Jianguo came in and just heard what the mother and daughter said, "What's wrong with that? We can include the bicycle ticket and money in the dowry, just like giving a bicycle as a dowry." Ye Jianguo had forgotten that Ye Tan was going to join the army after marriage, so now he felt that his daughter's idea was right.

Xu Huiling sighed and laughed, "I'm worried about gossip, and whether my in-laws will think we're not keeping our word."

Ye Jianguo: "My in-laws are unreasonable people. Besides, there is Xiao Gu here. Didn't Xiao Tan say that Xiao Gu has no objection? Let's not think too much about it. Anyway, we have the money and bills in full. Anyone with eyes can see it. Who would say nonsense?"

Ye Jianguo said this, and Xu Huiling thought it would be a good idea to save herself some trouble. Just then, Ye Tan came with a basket of steamed buns to the table in the yard and invited everyone to eat.

As soon as Ye Yanlin came back, he took a bottle of cold soda and drank it. Ye Tan thought of the canned food he brought back, ran to the main room, took out three bottles and put them on the table.

Ye Yanlin saw it and said without thinking: "Did Gu Zhao bring it?"

Ye Tan handed him a bottle: "Aunt Lin asked me to bring it back."

Ye Yanlin opened it and took a sip. The sour and sweet taste was better than soda. He couldn't help but take another sip: "Did you go to his house?"

Ye Tan handed the remaining two bottles to Ye Jianguo and Xu Huiling, "Yes, go sit for a while."

Ye Yanlin looked Ye Tan up and down, then asked her, "Just sit for a while?"

Ye Tan's expression remained unchanged as he asked him, "What else?"

Ye Yanlin curled his lips and sneered. They were all men, so everyone knew each other's little thoughts. He didn't believe that Gu Zhao could do nothing after deceiving his younger sister home.

But because they wanted to get a marriage certificate, Ye Yanlin didn't ask any further questions.

The next day, all the members of the Ye family took leave and stayed at home, and Ye Jianhui's family also came.

Erfeng was wearing a red floral dress and a red plastic hairpin today, which looked very festive. I might have thought she was the one who was going to propose today.

Ye Tan: "Cousin, you look very different today. I've never seen you wear this dress before."

Erfeng held up the hem of her skirt and smiled happily, "Of course you haven't seen it before. This is a new design, a popular style along the coast. You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Erfeng and Jinguihua had been arguing for a few days because of the gray dress she wore before. Since Erfeng really wanted to meet someone else, Jinguihua gritted her teeth and made the new dress she was wearing for Erfeng.

Ye Tan nodded: "Not bad, not bad." Then he smiled at Erfeng.

Er Feng thought Ye Tan was envious and raised her head proudly, "Master Cai has a lot of work to do. It's probably not your turn to do it."

Ye Tan pretended to feel regretful: "It was made by Master Cai, what a pity."

Master Cai is the most famous tailor in their area. The clothes he makes are particularly beautiful and always at the forefront of fashion. They are popular among many young girls and young wives.

But if people knew that the clothes Erfeng was wearing that exposed all her flaws were also made by Master Cai, it would probably affect his business.

"Cousin, next time you wear this dress out, don't tell anyone where it was made. Otherwise, if too many people know it, it's easy for them to wear the same thing as you. You have to know that being unique is the most beautiful thing."

Erfeng: "Unique and the most beautiful?"

Ye Tan nodded vigorously: "Yes, listen to me, from now on, don't tell anyone who asks you where you did it, that way you will be the most popular and enviable person, and you will get a lot of attention when you walk on the street."

Er Feng grabbed her braids and thought of the scene Ye Tan described. Her face flushed with excitement. "Really?"

Ye Tan patted his chest and said, "Really? I'm not lying." Who could resist taking a second look at this disastrous outfit when walking on the street?

Erfeng didn't know what she was thinking about, and two blushing clouds appeared on her plump face.

Seeing that she had listened, Ye Tan was about to go back to her room, but Er Feng stopped her, looked her up and down and said, "Isn't your dress too plain? It's such a nice day today, why don't you wear something red? Or are you not satisfied with me as your brother-in-law? Are you still thinking about that ex-brother-in-law?"

Erfeng looked at Ye Tan with suspicion, and it seemed that she was really thinking that.

Ye Tan: “…”

It's so unlucky to hear the name of a scumbag on such a good day.

Ye Tan's smile faded. He looked at Er Feng and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered this person. It's really hard for my cousin to help me remember it. It's really not easy."

Erfeng was not smart, but she could tell that Ye Tan's tone was not good. She frowned, and her chubby face was full of unhappiness.

"Xiao Tan, I'm just trying to kindly remind you, why are you speaking so sarcasticly?"

Ye Tan's expression was dull: "Really? My cousin heard it wrong."

Erfeng: "You don't know how to appreciate a good person. I don't want to bother with you." She snorted and walked out.

I just said a few nice words and thought she had changed for the better, but I didn't expect her to be still as unpleasant as before. Why didn't the supply and marketing cooperative throw her directly into the water tank last time? It would have been better to smash her face to pieces and see how she can still be so proud.

There was no point in talking to each other. After she left, Ye Tan felt more at ease and the air around him felt fresher.

It seems that the larger the volume, the more oxygen it consumes.

Erfeng found her mother helping in the kitchen. As she was in a bad mood, she couldn't help whispering to her, "Li Congjun is so good, but she didn't like him and insisted on breaking off the engagement. Now she's found this guy, who I heard is already old. How can he be any better? I think she will regret it in the future. Don't let her go back to him then."

Jin Guihua glared at her daughter and told her to shut up. She looked up to see that Xu Huiling, who was busy inside, hadn't heard anything. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Why are you saying these things? Be careful not to be overheard. Didn't I tell you to stay in the room with Ye Tan?"

Er Feng was furious: "She doesn't need my company at all. I won't bother her with her sarcasm."

Jin Guihua also knew that Ye Tan had become different recently for some reason. She could still coax him before, but now it was even harder to talk to him. So she pulled her daughter to sit down and said, "Then you stay here."

Erfeng looked at the room full of chickens, ducks, fish and meat. She didn't care about how good Li Congjun was. She touched her stomach and asked, "When can we have dinner?"

Jin Guihua rolled her eyes and glanced at her stomach. "Hungry again?"

Er Feng nodded, "I digested all the food I had this morning."

Jin Guihua knew her daughter got hungry easily, so she took out a piece of braised meat from somewhere and secretly stuffed it into her hand, "Eat it quickly."

Erfeng understood that a large piece of meat was stuffed into her mouth in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yanlin, who saw the whole process clearly from outside the window, curled the corners of his lips speechlessly. Second aunt was so good at preparing food, she deserved to have a fat daughter.

The Ye family started preparing early in the morning, and the Gu family was no less prepared. They packed up the betrothal gifts early in the morning and loaded them into the car.

Because there were so many things, some of them were large, Gu Zhao specially found a truck. At this moment, the truck bed was full. Lin Qiuyun finally counted them to make sure nothing was missing before arranging for departure.

Gu Zhao got on the car in front and headed to the Ye family with the original team who had proposed marriage and a cousin of theirs.

The two places were not far apart, but Gu Zhao took the small truck carrying the betrothal gifts and took a long detour. It was only ten o'clock when he arrived at Ye's house.

Everything that needed to be known was known along the way. The Gu family and the Ye family had become relatives, and the Lu family was popular, so many people followed along to watch the fun. When the car stopped in front of the Ye family's house, a group of children ran around the car laughing.

Gu Zhao was happy today. He grabbed a few handfuls of candy and distributed them to the kids. He also gave a handful to someone who came over to congratulate him and expressed his gratitude. He kept on doing this and soon the bag of candy was empty.

Gu Zhao didn't feel sad at all. He felt happy and worth it when he heard the congratulations.

Later he can take Xiao Tan to get a marriage certificate, and then they will be a legal couple.

Seeing that he was laughing so hard that his mouth was about to reach his ears, Ye Yanlin couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pull him into the yard, while signaling a few familiar friends who were watching the fun nearby to help unload the things.

Everyone saw the sewing machine, the radio, the box with the word "Shanghai" on it, and the box wrapped in red cloth with the inscription "Great Unity" with a betrothal gift of 666.66 yuan. Other chickens, ducks, fish, meat, cakes and fruits were brought to the Ye family one after another. Everyone was amazed and jealous.

"The Gu family is really wealthy. How much does this cost?"

"I didn't believe it when I heard that their son-in-law was going to buy three spins and one ring. I thought he was just bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"But this watch, sewing machine, and radio only make two turns each time, right? Don't you need a bicycle?"

"Hey, you don't know the inside story. It was said that they originally wanted to buy a bicycle, but it was said that the Ye family planned to give a bicycle as a dowry to their daughter, so the groom's family replaced the bicycle with a refrigerator."

Some people who didn’t understand asked, “What is a refrigerator?”

The other party didn't know what it was, but who cares, "It's something that rotates like a bicycle. Anyway, it's something cool that none of us have seen before."

Someone looked at the items being unloaded one by one and asked, "Which one is the refrigerator? Let me see what it looks like."

"I haven't bought anything yet."

"Why? Are you saying you don't want to buy it at all?"

"How can that be? They already have a car. It's because the groom is a soldier. I heard that after the wedding, the Ye family girl will follow him to the army. It's not easy to take the things away now, so I prepared the money and tickets. We can buy them when we get there."

"How do you know all this?" We are all from this area, why are you so outstanding?

The other party said proudly: "You all know that I have a good relationship with Sister Xu. I asked about it yesterday."

I also ate a lot of sugar.

Some people were envious, "I heard that this son-in-law is a soldier with a high position. Look at how generous he is. Why can't I meet such generous in-laws?"

"That would only work if you had such a beautiful daughter."

…

There was a lot of discussion and noise around.

Li Congjun hid in the crowd, looking at the gate of the Ye family. From his angle, he could just see Ye Tan in the wide-open yard. She was wearing a pink dress with a lotus leaf collar. The thin ribbon around her waist made her waist look so slender that it could be held in one hand. Her fair and tender face had a shy blush on it.

Against the backdrop of the shabby crowd around her, she was as beautiful as a white swan. She raised her long neck and looked at the man next to her with gentle and bright eyes, as if her heart and eyes were full of him.

This look used to only be directed at him, but now it belongs to someone else.

How could he accept this?

Li Congjun clenched his fists and looked at the sewing machine that was carefully carried down and the radio that people were curiously watching. Could it be that Ye Tan fell in love with someone else because of these things?

Her claim that she had thought it through and wanted to cancel the engagement was just an excuse for her vanity.

Li Congjun sneered, she was just a money-hungry woman who liked money, he also had money.

Li Congjun looked at the lively and festive scene and Ye Tan's happy smiling face, and suddenly he started laughing too.

Ye Tan, just wait and see how long you can laugh.
