She didn't actually dislike Xing Jianguo, nor did she mind spending the money.
Moreover, 500 is four months' salary for him, which is really a generous amount.
“You spent a lot of money buying things for my family yesterday. Today you also spent a hundred yuan, buying a lot of fabric, clothes, and watches.” She couldn’t let him pay for everything alone. “Jianguo, we are husband and wife, we should share these responsibilities.”
Xing Jianguo was moved by what Su Xiaole said, but he also felt guilty.
He held Su Xiaole in his arms for a long while and said, "Wife, I will definitely work hard in the future to give you a good life."
He needs to work harder now; he's married now and can't live like he used to.
“It’s okay, we can work together.” Su Xiaole felt that it was enough for the two of them to be together and live a good life. “We can buy another sewing machine tomorrow. I have more than 1,500 yuan in savings, which is enough for us to prepare for the wedding and for our daily life.”
Su Xiaole started working in the propaganda department of the army when she was eighteen. Her monthly salary increased from fifty to eighty, and with subsidies, she earned ninety yuan a month.
She had saved up her salary for several years.
Xing Jianguo earns more than Su Xiaole, but he doesn't save much. He only saves a little over a hundred yuan a month and sends seventy yuan back to his hometown to support his parents every month.
"Honey, I have eight hundred on me, that should be enough." He wanted to give Su Xiaole a respectable appearance, but he found that he didn't have enough money at all.
Su Xiaole said, "It's okay. We only have one chance to get married. Let's make sure everyone has a good time. We can earn the money back slowly if we run out."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife."
"Let's get the wedding room ready first, and we can stay here tonight. I'll go to the dormitory to get our things later."
"Yes, wife."
Xing Jianguo happily told Su Xiaole that he had leaned down and kissed her when she wasn't looking.
She blushed instantly.
Xing Jianguo went into the bedroom and began to set it up.
After an hour of work, I finally felt at home.
Then, at five o'clock sharp, I arrived at the political commissar's house and could already smell the aroma of meat.
With ten tables and nearly a hundred people, and eighty percent of the families in the compound having children, it was a very lively wedding banquet.
Su Yuan also came over to help in the afternoon.
When the women saw that Su Xiaole's brother was handsome and talented, they all wanted to introduce him to potential partners.
He refused them all.
Lin Qiyue observed that Su Yuan was a refined and cultured person, and that he must have someone he liked.
He looked like the second male lead in a novel, which greatly piqued Lin Qiyue's curiosity: did he have a girlfriend?
He looks to be in his mid-thirties; if he had a girlfriend, he should be married by now.
But curiosity aside, this is their private matter.
"What are you looking at?" Just as she was lost in thought, Lan Yuchu returned from get off work.
He happened to see her staring blankly at someone, and said somewhat angrily, "Is she better looking than your husband?"
He was furious that his wife was looking at another man.
Lin Qiyue looked up at Lan Yuchu. He was angry, and his frowning expression was just too cute.
Then, as he approached Xiangbu, he smiled and joked, "My eyes are on my body, why can't I see?"
"No! You're my wife. If you can't get enough of looking at her, I'll let you see her properly when we get home tonight. Your man is very strong too." Lan Yuchu wrapped his arms around her waist, asserting his ownership.
"Let go quickly. There are so many people here. If the political commissar sees you, you'll probably have to write a self-criticism."
Does this man really not know the meaning of death?
Lan Yuchu retorted defiantly, "Who told you to look at other men?"
"I won't watch anymore. I'll only watch you from now on, okay?" She had no choice but to coax her own man.
The young couple's intimate actions were clearly seen by the older women.
I knew this young couple was loving, but I didn't know they were so bold as to be so affectionate in public.
"Look at this, aren't you going to do anything about it?" some of the older women started joking.
While busy with her work, Huang Lanying glanced up and said with a smile, "The young couple haven't seen each other all day, it's okay for them to be affectionate. We're both married, isn't this what we like?"
"That's true!"
"Be loving while you're young, and see if they dare to do that again in a few years!"
They've all been through it; they used to be just as loving with their husbands, but feelings change over time.
It's not that I don't love it, it's just that I don't publicize it as much.
But their eyes were filled with envy.
Lan Yuchu glared angrily at his wife. It seemed he would have to show her his fighting prowess that night.
Otherwise, she'd be looking at other men in broad daylight, right in front of him.
"My dear wife, you said it yourself. If you keep your promise, I will..." lock you up and force you to fulfill it.
"What is it?" Lin Qiyue asked him with a smile.
Lan Yuchu's eyes flickered a few times, and the look in them said it all.
Lin Qiyue knew what this man was thinking; he simply wanted to keep her from getting up.
"Fine, don't say it then. I still have work to do. Today is Xiao Le's wedding day, so stop making a fuss! Let's talk about our business behind closed doors." Lin Qiyue's words made Lan Yuchu's heart itch.
However, he loved listening to his wife talk.
He decided to forgive his wife for the time being.
They joined in to help, and gradually the men in the army came home from get off work and started to help as well.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the children were playing in the yard after school.
Zheng Nannan was studying in high school in the city. After get off work, the political commissar went to the city to pick her up.
The child usually comes home once a week, but today is a joyous occasion, so we brought her back for a delicious meal.
After Zheng Nannan got off the bus, she came back from outside.
"Brother Xing, Sister Xiaole, congratulations!" Zheng Nannan said with a smile as she ate a chicken leg.
Xing Jianguo and Su Xiaole came down from their house hand in hand. They had already decorated the house and were heading to Zheng Nannan's house.
"Nannan, thank you for your blessing," Su Xiaole replied shyly.
Seeing the shy look on the young couple's faces, Zheng Nannan reached out and said, "Can I have some wedding candy? I'm going back to school tomorrow. There are twenty students in my class. Can you give each of us one?"
Wedding candy is a rare treat, but she was just joking; she was already quite satisfied with just two pieces.
“I have wedding candy. I’ll bring you a pound back to school, how about that?” Su Xiaole said immediately.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Nannan was overjoyed and asked in a confirming tone, "Really?"
"It must be true!"
"Sister Xiaole, you're so kind!" Zheng Nannan happily hugged Su Xiaole.
When Su Xiaole was being hugged by Zheng Nannan, Xing Jianguo became unhappy and immediately said, "This is my wife. You can't hug her anymore, or I won't give you any more candy."
“This is my sister, why are you being so mean?” Zheng Nannan retorted unhappily, “So what if she’s your wife? She’s still my sister.”
Su Xiaole was caught in the middle and found it all quite amusing.
