Chapter 81 Arrived Ahead of Schedule
“We got married in a hurry, and I didn’t get to buy you anything. Now that we have the time and opportunity, just buy whatever you like. It’s a small token of my appreciation.”
He Mingzhou smiled as he spoke, a smile that revealed a hint of naivety and shyness.
Xin Li immediately understood what He Mingzhou meant.
This man wants to make it up to her.
Although Xin Li never felt wronged, and in fact she was quite happy after marrying He Mingzhou, she reluctantly accepted it because He Mingzhou rarely wanted to show off.
"Then let's go take a look together."
She had so much money that she couldn't possibly spend it all. Originally, she was thinking of finding an excuse to take some good things out of her space, but considering He Mingzhou's personality, she decided it was better to just spend money to buy them.
After all, the things in her space were too valuable. Although He Mingzhou wouldn't doubt the origin of these things, he would definitely not be willing to take them out to use.
"good."
He Mingzhou readily agreed.
Right now, the jewelry in stores is actually quite rough, and there aren't any particularly eye-catching designs.
However, these items were all polished to a high shine, which shows that they were indeed crafted by artisans bit by bit.
Absolutely nothing else is mixed in.
You don't need to worry about buying counterfeit goods.
Xin Li picked out a pair of silver earrings, and then, at He Mingzhou's insistence, she picked out a necklace. Finally, she chose a pair of rings.
"Let's each have one, so that when people see you, they'll know you're my husband."
He Mingzhou's lips curled into a smile after Xin Li called him "my husband," and the smile on his face never faded after they left the jewelry store.
She would occasionally glance at the ring on her finger, as if she had acquired some rare treasure.
"I also picked out a chain for you."
As if by magic, Xin Li pulled out the chain and handed it to He Mingzhou.
He Mingzhou frowned; he didn't even know when Xin Li had bought it.
He had clearly agreed that he would buy things for Xinli, but in the end, he made Xinli spend a lot of money.
"I don't need this. You can keep it for yourself."
Xin Li stuffed the curtain into He Mingzhou's pocket: "Who said it was for you to wear?"
He Mingzhou was completely bewildered: "Then what else would it be used for?"
Xin Li said, "It's definitely inconvenient for you to wear rings during training. Normally, if you take off such a small thing, it might just disappear if you put it down carelessly, and you'll be anxious if you can't find it later."
“Having a chain is much more convenient. You can string them together and wear them around your neck or store them away. It’s always better than leaving a ring alone.”
He Mingzhou's eyes lit up.
"You've thought of everything."
"Of course."
Xin Li didn't mention that chain-linked rings were also a popular fashion item in later generations. She rubbed her chin and suddenly thought that if the seafood business really couldn't take off, becoming a designer wouldn't be a bad idea.
Although she had no background in jewelry design, she possessed the secrets to future trends, so designing jewelry was a piece of cake for her.
Where else would you like to go?
He Mingzhou's eyes darkened when he saw the smile on Xin Li's face.
Realizing they were on the street, he suppressed the urge to kiss her and quickly tried to distract himself.
"Go and stock up on food."
It's not easy to go to the market on the island. All the things at home were damaged by seawater and now we have to buy new ones.
Xinli can't stand having her mouth upset, so she has to make up for it with all the dry food.
I'll ask Aunt Yang or Sister-in-law Lu to help with the cooking later.
This way, we can also take them out to eat something nice.
"OK."
He Mingzhou also has a habit of stockpiling food, especially since this typhoon has caused heavy losses to every household. If he can do his best to reduce the burden, others will be able to get more.
What do you like to eat?
He Mingzhou used to hoard things that could be stored for a long time, but now he has other ulterior motives.
Xinli didn't realize it; she said she liked eating things like corn.
"Then let's go stock up on some corn, and we can also buy some seeds so we can grow our own later."
Xinli exclaimed, "But aren't you often away from home? Who will do the planting? I can't do this kind of work."
Although Xinli had done a lot of dirty and tiring work in the post-apocalyptic world, she was really impatient with farming.
She wasn't a very patient person, and waiting for a harvest requires the most patience.
"Don't worry, many families on our island have more land than they can cultivate. You can pay them to help you cultivate it."
"Or you could simply use grain as collateral."
Xin Li was amazed: "You can do that?"
"sure."
“The people on the island are very hardworking, but they have very few ways to make a living. What you are doing is opening up a new way for them to make money.”
Xinli couldn't help but think of selling seafood again.
"If we can develop a business selling seafood, many people on our island can escape poverty and become wealthy."
"Unfortunately, the transportation chain is indeed a very difficult problem to solve."
He Mingzhou's eyes flashed, and he patted Xin Li's shoulder, saying, "There's always a way out. Maybe things will turn around in the future."
"Yeah, who knows?"
Xin Li sensed that He Mingzhou's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and couldn't help but look at him: "You seem to know something, are you hiding some secret from me?"
He Mingzhou quickly said no.
"I just believe you."
"With your competence, you'll definitely be able to solve any problems that arise."
"Besides, even if you can't handle it, you still have me, right? You also have your superiors behind you."
“The island will definitely be developed. As long as we work together and put our efforts in the same direction, we have no worries about failing in the end.”
Xin Li nodded seriously: "That's true."
He Mingzhou said, "So don't worry."
"Everything is moving in a positive direction, and the island will get better and better."
"Um!"
The two bought a lot of food, but because He Mingzhou was with them this time, Xin Li didn't put the things into her spatial storage.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but He Mingzhou was too perceptive, and Xin Li was afraid that He Mingzhou would become suspicious if there was a shortage of food.
The matter of her spatial ability is a secret she will never reveal to anyone; it's something she intends to take to her grave.
It wasn't that she didn't trust He Mingzhou, but she felt that everyone should have some secrets they couldn't tell outsiders.
Human nature is complex and ever-changing. At one moment, two people may be deeply in love, but who knows what they will encounter in the next moment?
Therefore, Xinli decided not to use these things to test the level of trust between them.
Whether there's space or not doesn't affect the relationship between the two people.
Moreover, this is her way of protecting herself; she never exposes her weaknesses to others.
"Deputy Division Commander!"
The two returned to their lodgings together, when a young man in military uniform strode over and said, "Deputy Division Commander, you're finally back! Come with me quickly."
While telling Xin Li to go back to her room, He Mingzhou asked her what had happened.
"Miss Xie Shuangshuang arrived ahead of time and is currently waiting for you, Deputy Division Commander."
