"Did it thunder? No, it didn't!"
Shen Huaichuan looked out the window suspiciously.
But the moonlight outside the window was bright and clear, and there wasn't even a breath of wind.
"It's not thundering outside, it's thundering in the baby's tummy."
Zhou Qiqi blushed, covered her face, and whispered.
How embarrassing!
This is such an important moment for the two of them to "secretly pledge their lives to each other," how could she make such a sound!
But you can't blame her. Her body has been malnourished for years. She hasn't eaten anything for more than ten hours since noon, and she has also expended so much energy. She is really too hungry to bear it.
"Baby? What baby?"
Shen Huaichuan didn't understand her joke, and Zhou Qiqi was too embarrassed to explain, so she quickly said that she was hungry and asked him if he had anything to eat, or if not, she would cook some noodles.
She really couldn't take it anymore.
"No, we don't have any, and we don't even have a stove at home."
The political commissar of their military region assigned this small courtyard to him a month ago and gave him a strict order to get married within three months.
But he knew Lin Yao probably wouldn't agree, so he never bought any of those things.
He usually gets his meals from the cafeteria for the two of them at home.
Fortunately, he still had some compressed biscuits he had brought on this mission in his backpack, and he broke off half of one for her.
Looking at the small cube in front of her that smelled of drool, Zhou Qiqi almost burst into tears. This was truly suffering.
However, for the sake of her health, she still bit down without hesitation.
These compressed biscuits are made from wheat flour under high pressure and have a little saccharin added. Eating them is like chewing on chalk; they're impossible to swallow. But if you add water, they'll make your mouth sticky.
After barely managing to eat half a piece to stop the stomach pain, Zhou Qiqi refused to eat any more.
"This is so disgusting. I might as well just wash up and go to bed. I won't feel hungry when I'm asleep."
Shen Huaichuan didn't say anything, but simply wrapped up the remaining half piece again.
After Zhou Qiqi finished washing up, he was already sitting on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, obviously waiting for her.
The bedroom contained a double bed with military green sheets and a neat square at the foot of the bed, clearly indicating that this was where Shen Huaichuan usually slept.
After Zhou Qiqi had eaten and drunk her fill, her mind began to work wildly without her noticing.
Are they going to sleep together already? Isn't that... a bit too fast?
She's not ready yet!
However, it's not impossible. She's already seen his body anyway. Whether she sticks her neck out or not, she's going to get stabbed anyway, so she might as well die sooner and be reborn sooner. What if the experience is good?
She swallowed hard as she walked over and sat down next to Shen Huaichuan, but to her surprise, he immediately stood up as if he had been electrocuted, and the envelope in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's this?"
Curious, Zhou Qiqi opened it and found it bulging with "big unity" coupons, probably more than 300 yuan, along with some grain coupons, meat coupons, and the like.
No wonder he's the regimental commander; he's certainly well-off.
Unlike Xu Shu, who is stingy and has to borrow money from all over the place even for a hundred yuan!
As she was sighing, she heard Shen Huaichuan say, "This is my salary and allowance for the past two months. You can use it first. The remaining two thousand yuan is in my savings account. The political commissar kept it for me when we moved. I'll bring it to you later."
"How much...?"
Zhou Qiqi's jaw almost dropped in astonishment. In this day and age, the average person's monthly salary was only twenty or thirty yuan, yet he actually had two thousand yuan in savings?!
She didn't have this much money in her account before she transmigrated!
Shen Huaichuan didn't even blink. "If that's not enough, we have more at home."
"That's enough...that's enough."
Zhou Qiqi swallowed hard, happily touching the bulging envelope, then pulled out ten bills and tearfully handed the rest back.
“I don’t need that much. Give me a hundred yuan and I’ll buy some things for the house. As for the future, just give me fifty yuan from your monthly salary for household expenses.”
She thought about it for a long time and felt that the ratio was reasonable, but Shen Huaichuan had no intention of taking it and raised an eyebrow.
"It's all yours. You can decide how to spend it. Spend it if you want, or save it if you want. There's still some left at home when you're done."
He then walked out of the room, saying he was going to borrow a blanket and sleep on the floor in the living room.
Zhou Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a bit of a pity, she was indeed very sleepy.
However, before falling asleep, she didn't forget to give him a righteous and resolute reminder.
"Then leave the door open, don't knock on it and wake me up."
Shen Huaichuan nodded in agreement, but a short while later, he knocked hard on the door without hesitation.
Clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang, clang!
"Who's knocking on the door so late?"
The middle-aged man had just fallen asleep when he heard a knock on the door. He mumbled something, pulled the covers over his head, and prepared to go back to sleep.
"Let me go take a look."
The woman next to her put down the book she was reading, took off her glasses, and was about to get out of bed when the man pressed her down, half-opening his eyes as he put on his coat. "I'll go, you keep reading."
The knocking on the door continued, and it became even more urgent than before.
Who is it?!
The man frowned, determined to teach the newcomer a lesson.
But as soon as the door opened, his brows immediately relaxed. "Huaichuan?"
Shen Huaichuan saluted, "Political Commissar Lei!"
"Come in quickly!"
"Weren't you off on a mission? Why are you back so soon? Did something happen?"
"No, the mission is already complete."
Shen Huaichuan shook his head firmly, took out a brown paper bag and handed it over, his tone urgent.
"I'm here to submit my marriage certificate."
Commissar Lei was somewhat taken aback. Shen Huaichuan had applied for two extra days before going on this mission, saying he wanted to go and discuss marriage with Lin Yao. However, given Lin Yao's previous attitude, he didn't have much hope.
