The car drove slowly and finally arrived at the county town before noon. After everyone got off the car, Zhou Rang got out holding Su Nan's hand.

Seeing that there were not many people around the station, Su Nan shook their hands and said with a meaningful smile: "I haven't agreed to be your partner yet."

Zhou Rang scratched his forehead, coughed lightly, and said affirmatively: "It's only a matter of time."

Hearing this, the two smiled at each other and slowly walked towards the county hospital. They only let go of each other's hands when they reached a crowded place.

Su Nan clenched his palms and sighed softly. It was really annoying that in this day and age, even holding hands had to be done secretly.

When they arrived at the hospital, they first registered and then queued up for a consultation. The process was not much different from the previous one. After hearing the doctor say that there was no big problem, Zhou Rang and Su Nan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the two of them happily prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was anything they needed to buy.

This was Su Nan's first time to visit the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. It was a small three-story brick building that looked newly built. The white paint on the walls was still clean and bright, in sharp contrast to the surrounding gray bungalows.

The place was packed with people at this time, but most of them were just looking and not buying.

The things sold on the first floor are really few, but also very cheap. For example, there are bulk oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments that we often buy at home, as well as some common vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

The meat had been sold out long ago, leaving only a few large bones on the chopping board. At this time, two middle-aged women were arguing with each other, neither of them willing to give in.

Su Nan walked through the crowd to the second floor, and Zhou Rang followed closely behind her.

The salesperson standing at the stairs on the second floor was standing there lazily and listlessly, but when he saw Su Nan, his eyes lit up, and after looking her up and down, he went to greet her.

His eyes lingered on the watch on Su Nan's hand for especially long, before falling on her face.

Oh, a big customer is here.

"Are you two here to buy wedding favors? You have to go to the third floor." The salesperson waited for Su Nan to come up before he saw Zhou Rang, who was dressed like a rich man. His smile instantly turned into a full smile.

Su Nan paused and turned back to see Zhou Rang's reaction after hearing this. The latter was obviously stunned for a moment before explaining, "Not this time."

The salesperson was obviously disappointed and hesitated, "Really?"

"Next time." Seeing that the salesperson wanted to ask more questions, Zhou Rang said two words hastily with an embarrassed look on his face, then grabbed Su Nan who was laughing secretly and walked to the second floor.

Su Nan covered the back of his head and laughed non-stop.

"There won't be a next time." After laughing enough, Su Nan looked at Zhou Rang seriously.

"No next time?" Zhou Rang repeated this sentence, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He withdrew his hand, leaned against the shelf, and stared at Su Nan in silence.

Su Nan, who felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, poked Zhou Rang's bulging arms and said angrily, "What are you thinking? I mean, we have to go back to Shanghai if we want to get married. Do you want to marry me in this strange little county?"

Without waiting for Zhou Rang to answer, Su Nan started counting on his fingers and said seriously, "When I, Su Nan, get married, I will definitely have the biggest show. I will invite several tables and let all my relatives and friends witness my happiness."

"It's all about the fashion now, right? If you don't give me these, I won't marry you. There's also a wedding dress, a diamond ring, fresh flowers, champagne, a Chinese toast dress, a sedan chair with eight bearers, and a long wedding dress. Anyway, marrying me is not easy."

Su Nan repeated everything he could think of in his mind at the moment, and stopped only when he could not count with his ten fingers anymore.

Then he looked at Zhou Rang and said with a smile, "Don't think I'm being pretentious. Anyway, I haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet. You still have to wait for two years. Who knows, I might change my mind by then. Maybe I'd be willing to go home with you even for two tattered quilts."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward.

Zhou Rang hurriedly followed, silently repeating the conditions Su Nan had just mentioned in his mind, and then smiled deeply: "Don't go back on your words."

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold." Su Nan waved his hand, very generously.

She didn't know that what she said unintentionally would be kept in his mind for so long. Of course, this is a story for later.

The second floor sells more expensive cakes, fruits, soaps, toothpaste and other fine items.

Su Nan picked several kilograms of oranges and big apples. When it was time to pay, she wanted to pay herself, but he was not happy about it. He just gave her the receipt, picked up his things and left.

The domineering boss fell in love with me.

Su Nan did not refuse anymore and accepted it generously. When the two of them walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, the sun had risen outside, bringing a touch of warmth to the bleak end of autumn.

Although it feels comfortable to feel the sunshine on his body, Su Nan still has to hold an umbrella, because sun protection is indispensable and should not be taken lightly.

She makes a living by her looks, and she doesn't hold the umbrella herself.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Nan tilted her head, stood on tiptoe and patted Zhou Rang's shoulder.

The latter smiled dotingly, pointed to the state-owned restaurant not far away, and said gently: "I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Hey, hey." Su Nan's eyes lit up and he walked towards the state-owned restaurant.

God knows how much she wanted to eat meat. She had never been so greedy in her life. However, she had never eaten meat since she moved back to the educated youth point. Apart from snacks every day, there was nothing else to eat.

I really don’t know how other people survive by eating wild vegetables and coarse grains every day.

Zhou Rang was collecting his umbrella behind him, but Su Nan couldn't wait and went into the state-owned restaurant to choose a seat.

Because it was not meal time, there were not many people in the restaurant at this time. There were only two waiters wearing aprons and three tables of guests. Including Su Nan and the other person, there were only twelve people in total.

"What do you want to eat?" The waitress pointed to the big red rice paper on the wall. On it was the menu written in black brush. There were both meat and vegetarian options, and the prices were not cheap.

Su Nan was watching intently when suddenly a familiar male voice came to his ears, loud and upright, very recognizable.

Subconsciously, she looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a tall man in a Xi'an uniform sitting with his back to her.

The crew cut, the voice, and the back all matched the figure in my memory.

The key point is that there was a girl sitting opposite him, wearing a purple long skirt, two pigtails, with a cute appearance, round apple cheeks, and two dimples when she smiled.

The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, and the girl was laughing so hard that she covered her lips.

Su Nan rushed forward and went straight to the side of the woman opposite the man.

The next second, an angry roar rang out throughout the state-owned restaurant. The sound was so loud that everyone stopped moving and stared blankly.

"Chenmu, you are such a heartless man!"
