"Huh?" Jian Shu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing as he realized what was happening. He pointed, "I'm not looking at the TV, I'm looking at the electric fan behind it. Forget about buying a TV. Why spend that extra money? But as for the electric fan, I can definitely buy one. It'll keep me cool in the summer."

Jianshu’s consumption concept is to save when necessary and spend when necessary. She is willing to buy things she needs and likes no matter how expensive they are, but don’t even think of her spending a penny on unnecessary things.

Just like when she’s shopping, she won’t blink an eye when buying things worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, but once it costs five or ten dollars in shipping, she will delete the shopping cart without saying a word.

She would rather the merchant add the postage price to the product than pay extra for postage, even if the final price is the same, but for her, the latter is always unpleasant.

A black and white TV was an unnecessary expense for her. She didn't like watching TV, so why spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on it? Was it just for decoration?

A black and white TV costs hundreds of yuan now, but it may not even be worth a few hundred yuan in a few decades. In these years of soaring prices, the depreciation is really serious.

"Electric fan?" Looking in the direction of Jianshu's finger, Gu Mingjing also saw an electric fan behind the black and white TV. Compared with the TV that attracted much attention, it could be said that no one was interested in it at this moment.

Only then did he realize he had misunderstood. Although he was puzzled by his wife's dislike of televisions, he would never refuse anything she wanted. "Okay, but I don't have any tickets right now. I have to wait two days. I'll go back and ask who has money and exchange it with them. We can come back to buy it later."

Tickets for electric fans are not as scarce as those for televisions, so they are easier to get.

"No rush. We don't need it now anyway. Summer is still a long time away. We can buy tickets when we have them." Jianshu glanced around and made sure there was nothing of interest, then he pulled Gu Mingjing out of the crowd.

After finishing shopping in the department store, Jianshu sent Gu Mingjing away and prepared to take some things out of the space.

"Just wait for me in the car. I'll go buy some things and come back. If you feel like you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk around the neighborhood. We'll meet here then."

She spoke cryptically, but Gu Mingjing quickly understood what she meant and said without hesitation: "I'll go with you!"

He was really worried about letting his wife go alone.

Jian Shu frowned and patted his shoulder. "Brother, if you come with me wearing this, will I still be able to buy anything?"

Before they even got there, there was chaos inside, and everyone left their belongings and ran away.

That scene is absolutely beautiful...

Gu Mingjing looked down at his clothes, frowned, and felt a little regretful. He should have changed his clothes earlier. It was all his fault that he was used to it.

"How about we not go today? I can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it tomorrow morning."

Jian Shu was unwilling. "Since we're already here, it's just a matter of convenience. It saves me from making another trip. We don't have many meat coupons, so we can't buy much at the supply and marketing cooperative. It's barely enough for two meals."

If they really rely on supplies, their family can only eat meat a few times a month.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Jian Shu didn't want to reason with him anymore and started yelling, "I don't care, I want to eat meat!"

After hearing this, Gu Mingjing had no choice but to surrender.

"Okay, then go ahead, but be careful. Come back after you finish buying things. Don't linger. Ignore anyone who talks to you. If you find something wrong, run away quickly. I'll be waiting for you nearby." He gave me so many warnings and was really worried about me.

Jian Shu was helpless, but still listened carefully and nodded. "Okay, I'll do as you say. I promise to go and come back quickly and be careful."

After jogging away and avoiding Gu Mingjing's sight, Jianshu found a secluded place, took out five pounds of pork, two ribs, and dozens of eggs from the space, thought for a while, and took out a piece of beef.

I didn’t have enough of the beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes a few days ago, so I’ll make it again tomorrow.

In addition to meat and eggs, Jianshu also picked out some rice, flour and vegetables to take back.

Another half hour passed before Jian Shu finally started walking back with his things. He hadn't arrived yet, but from a distance, he could see Gu Mingjing eagerly waiting, pacing around in circles, and his worry was evident.

The moment I saw Jianshu, my eyes lit up.

"Wife, you're back!"

After a quick check, I found that his clothes were neat, his hair was not disheveled, there were no scars on his body, and his breathing was steady and not panting. It seemed that the journey had been smooth and there were no accidents.

The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Jian Shu let him fiddle with the inspection, and after he was done, he pulled him towards the car, "Come on, we've bought everything, let's go eat first, I'm hungry."

It would be a bit late to go back and cook now. Gu Mingjing has to go to work in the afternoon, so it would be more convenient to go directly to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.

"Okay." Gu Mingjing had no objection.

After dinner, it was already noon when the two returned to the family compound.

After Gu Mingjing sent Jianshu home and moved all his things in, he prepared to return the car first and then go to work.

After everyone left, Jianshu closed the door, drew the curtain, and took a nap first.

After waking up, she first gave the candied haws she bought to Tiedan, and then went home with the small basket of mulberries that he gave her in return.

Mulberries are delicious, but after eating them, your tongue will turn purple and black. The juice will not come off your hands even if you wash it, so you can only let it fade away slowly.

Jianshu didn't want to become like Tiedan, so he decided to dry the mulberries into dried mulberries and use them to make tea.

In the evening, Jianshu made sweet and sour pork and stir-fried potatoes with sauerkraut, and the staple food was also multi-grain rice.

After eating and drinking enough to help digest the food, Gu Mingjing went into the bathroom holding Jianshu. The water was turbulent and fluctuating for a while, which showed that he had been holding it in for a long time.

Ever since Ding Ming came, he has been sternly warned by his wife not to step out of line at night, otherwise he will have to sleep in the study for the next month.

Gu Mingjing knew very well that Jianshu was thin-skinned, but no matter how reluctant he was, he dared not disobey and could only restrain himself secretly.

Now that he has finally sent the person away, how can he bear it any longer?

After coming out of the bathroom, the two moved to another location, as if to make up for all the time they had lost.

There is spring in the bedroom.
