Of course Xiang Baiwei refused to accept his red envelope.

"You've worked so hard for so many days and finally earned some money, how can you give it all to me!"

Jiang Sui knew she would say that.

"Didn't you agree that you wouldn't divide the money so clearly with me? We need money everywhere in the house. Put this red envelope in our shared money box. When you buy something for our family, you can take it whenever you want."

"Okay, then take out half and put it in the cash box."

Xiang Baiwei opened the red envelope, took out a few bills from it and put them into the small wooden box under the quilt at the head of the bed.

After the movie was over, Xiang Baiwei remembered something and ran to the other side, taking out a thick notebook: "This is the notes that a person who has been admitted to university took when he was in school. I think you should be able to use it."

There is such a good thing?

Jiang Sui got off the bed and took the book: "Where did you get this from?"

"I found out from someone. I used some food, oil, and half a bag of brown sugar to exchange for two copies of this notebook. I'll give you one."

"Two copies?" Jiang Sui held the notebook in his hands as if he had found a treasure. "Did that person hand-copy the notebook at home and then use it to exchange for something?"

"That's about it."

Xiang Baiwei nodded, "But it was his brother who used this to exchange for something. He wanted more because I gave him things so readily. I just gave him the money because I saw that his clothes were covered with patches and he looked pale and skinny."

Jiang Sui carefully put away the notes: "Why don't you accept the red envelope I gave you? Brown sugar and oil are not cheap."

"Just take it and use it, why so much nonsense. Jiang Sui, I find that you are becoming more and more long-winded. If you continue like this, I will ignore you!"

Xiang Baiwei didn't want to listen to his chatter anymore, so she glared at Jiang Sui and told him to shut up.

It was rare for Xiang Baiwei to speak in this tone in front of Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui had a calm expression on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. He even secretly wanted to provoke Bai Wei and listen to a few more words.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage in the end, for fear that he would not be able to judge the right degree and would anger Xiang Baiwei.

That would be a waste of time.

Another week of uneventful days passed.

There is no work in the fields now, and the workshop is not doing much business, but the wheat in the space has grown taller and it is estimated that it will be ripe in less than a month.

Xiang Baiwei, who had nothing to do after careful calculation, thought that she would be busy again in a while and would have no time to read or study. So she took advantage of the rare free time now to stay at home and study hard.

Jiang Sui is busier than her. He has a lot of things to do in the new semester at school, and the factory calls him over from time to time. Because the workers have not yet fully got the hang of the new machinery that was repaired last time, and are still unfamiliar with many things, the deputy factory director is worried that it will affect production, so he arranges for Jiang Sui to go there every other day, stay there for half a day, and keep an eye on it.

That day happened to be International Women's Day. Jiang Sui went to the Second Machinery Factory early in the morning and stayed there for the whole morning. At noon, she politely declined the deputy factory director's invitation to have dinner together and rode her bike to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He wanted to buy some gifts for Xiang Baiwei.

On International Women's Day, as per tradition, female teachers can have a day off.

When she got there, she happened to meet Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui parked his car at the home of a person he knew well and strode into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Because he was good-looking and the saleswoman at the counter was new, she shyly came over to him with shining eyes as soon as she saw him: "Comrade, what do you want to buy? This is the area where lesbians like to go. If you want to buy cigarettes, alcohol, etc., you have to go over there."

Jiang Sui nodded, took two steps forward, and looked back and forth at the silk scarves, hairpins, and facial creams: "I know, today is Women's Day, I want to buy something for my wife, do you have any recommendations?"

When she heard that he was married, the shyness on the saleswoman's face disappeared immediately.

What a pity, I finally met a gay man with such a good-looking appearance, but he is married.

Later, Liu Mei, who came in with Xu Xiuxiu, heard what Jiang Sui said and rolled her eyes in her heart.

Xiang Baiwei's seductive tactics are getting more and more powerful, and she really gets all the benefits.

Liu Mei couldn't help but think of what her aunt and Xu Xiuxiu said. Why was Xiang Baiwei so lucky? Not only was she born rich, but she was also so beautiful and could marry such a good man.

She just didn't believe that Xiang Baiwei's luck could always be so good.

"Jiang Sui," Liu Mei brought her friends to the counter, "What a coincidence, you're here to buy something too?"

Jiang Sui, who was struggling over what gift to buy for Xiang Baiwei, heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Mei. He nodded indifferently, "Well, it's quite a coincidence."

Liu Mei pretended not to notice his indifference: "What are you buying? You seem a little worried. Do you want my help?"

Jiang Sui, who had already said this once, ignored her and pointed at the hairpins behind the saleswoman: "Can you bring all those hairpins over for me to see?"

The salesperson felt sorry that he was already married, so he wondered what kind of woman was so lucky to marry him while handing over the box of hairpins: "These are all popular styles in the city nowadays. Buy them back, I guarantee your wife will like them."

When Liu Mei was ignored for the second time, she looked a little embarrassed: "Oh, are you choosing a gift for Weiwei? How about I give you some suggestions? I have a good relationship with her and I know what she likes."

While speaking, Liu Mei secretly tugged at Xu Xiuxiu's sleeve with her hand hidden under her body.

Xu Xiuxiu immediately understood what she meant and came over as well: "Xiang Baiwei likes bright things, the brighter the better. She said that bright things are worthy of her bright yearning."

Feeling that words were not enough, Xu Xiuxiu even reached out and picked out the most fancy one in the whole box of hairpins.

Although it’s fancy, the clip also looks a bit rustic. If Xiang Baiwei were here at this moment, she wouldn’t like any of the fancy clips, let alone the whole box.

As someone who has lived a lifetime, it is impossible for her to have the same vision as when she was truly young.

Liu Mei watched silently from the side and did not dare to speak to agree with Xu Xiuxiu because she had just been ignored by Jiang Sui a few minutes ago.

She wasn't sure whether Jiang Sui really didn't hear her, or whether he heard what Xiang Baiwei said and had some dissatisfaction with her, so he pretended not to see her.

But her teammate Xu Xiuxiu didn't let her go: "What do you think? Liu Mei."
