An An went to bed early last night and woke up early the next day. He got up on his own without Li Xia calling him.

Get dressed obediently and wait for the bus to go to the city.

It has been such a long time since she started wearing this dress, but this is Li Xia's first time going shopping in the city. After all, she is a girl in her early twenties and she loves to dress up. She wore a skirt today.

The color is still in line with the low-key color of this era, and the style is also relatively ordinary. The only eye-catching thing is that the skirt is made with a waist, which makes Li Xia's waist look particularly thin.

The skirt was long enough to reach the calf, revealing half of the pale calf. She wore a pair of cloth shoes from that era, but the style was similar to the later Mary Jane shoes.

Her hair was not tied up like usual, but was braided into two braids to follow the fashion of the time. But unlike others, she didn't tie it tightly, but pulled it to make the braids fluffy and casual.

If you wear a straw hat, it will be a classic French pastoral style.

Seeing her mother like this, An An wiped her eyes with her hands and said with emotion: "Mom, you look so beautiful today."

A child’s mouth can coax people, but his eyes cannot.

An An's eyes were always fixed on Li Xia, and she was reluctant to look away.

The military vehicle arrived, and Li Xia took An An downstairs and walked to the door. When Gu Weicheng saw her like this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I knew she was good-looking, but I rarely saw her dress up after being in the army for so long. I didn't expect her to look so good after dressing up.

"I wore a skirt because I was thinking about going to the city. Is that okay?" Li Xia asked.

She was quite respectful of the army, especially the army in the 1970s, an era when everything was about appearance. She was afraid that dressing too much would have a bad influence.

"It's okay, it looks good." Gu Weicheng said.

In this era, we need to pay attention to influence, but in fact, the most important targets are those who need to be influenced, such as capitalists, rightists, and those who already have political stains.

For people like Gu Weicheng and Li Xia who come from a good family background, as long as they don't engage in feudal, capitalist, or revisionist thinking, it doesn't matter if they wear skirts.

It was Xiao Li who was driving again. An An saw Xiao Li again and called him "Uncle Li" with a smile.

"Mom, I want to sit in the front." An An said.

There was only a driver's seat and a passenger seat in the front, and Li Xia didn't object.

Gu Weicheng picked up An An, stuffed him into the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and told him: "Sit still and don't move."

"Dad, I know." An An assured him that he just wanted to see how Uncle Li drove and would definitely not move around.

Gu Weicheng and Li Xia could only sit in the back. When they came, Li Xia sat on the passenger seat holding An An and had never sat in the back before.

The military vehicle was too high and she couldn't get on.

Gu Weicheng reached out his hand: "I'll pull you up."

Li Xia was not being pretentious. She scratched his hand and applied medicine yesterday, so she wouldn't be embarrassed to touch Gu Weicheng's hand today.

She stretched out her hand and let Gu Weicheng hold it in his palm. Li Xia's hand was a little cold, but Gu Weicheng's thick and broad palm was burning hot.

With a push, she was pulled up.

There were cushions on both sides, and Li Xia and Gu Weicheng sat next to each other.

Gu Weicheng took out a passbook and a thick stack of bills and handed them to Li Xia: "Here are the money and bills I have saved over the years. I asked someone to exchange some bills last night in case they were not enough. You keep them."

Li Xia took a look and was surprised to see that there was a huge sum of nearly 6,000 yuan in the passbook!

Gu Weicheng usually stays in the army and doesn't spend much. After being promoted to regiment commander, his monthly salary is more than 120 yuan. Excluding the 60 yuan allowance he sends to Li Xia every month, he still has more than 60 yuan left.

He has been in the army for more than ten years. Although his salary was not high before he was promoted to officer, he has saved a lot of money over the years.

Li Xia knew that he wanted her to buy whatever she wanted when she got to the department store and not have to think about saving money.

Li Xia did not keep the passbook, but took out a stack of money from the cross-body bag she was carrying.

The total amount she got from Zhou Qingshan and Liu Chunhua was about three thousand five hundred yuan, but she didn't have many tickets.

Although she felt that women should have their own private money, this money was originally given by Gu Weicheng. Now Gu Weicheng has taken out all his savings, so of course she has to take out the money as well, instead of hiding the more than two thousand yuan with a clear conscience.

As for her pocket money, she can save it slowly after she finds a job and starts earning a salary.

"This money is all the money you sent me over the years. I lent part of it to Zhou Qingshan, and part of it was taken away by my uncle and aunt, but I got it all back." Li Xia said.

Gu Weicheng looked at her. This was the first time they had directly discussed Zhou Qingshan.

Li Xia knew that Zhou Qingshan was a thorn between them.

Gu Weicheng didn't say it, but he definitely cared in his heart.

No man would not care that his wife has another man in her heart.

Li Xia knew very well that if they wanted to live a good life, they had to deal with this problem well.

Otherwise, no matter how good Gu Weicheng treats her, no matter how loving and harmonious they appear to be, it is all just an appearance.

Whenever Gu Weicheng heard the name 'Zhou Qingshan', he couldn't help but speculate and doubt.

She didn't want to live in such a confused life, so she hoped to make things clear as soon as possible.

"I was too stubborn before and got into a dead end, mistaking my admiration for his talent for love.

Recently I figured it out. It wasn't so-called love at all. It was just a dream woven by a little girl who had many fantasies about love, based on those fantasies.

Do I really like Zhou Qingshan? Or do I like the person I imagine in my mind? I think it's the latter. "Li Xia said.

In fact, this is also her deep reflection on the original owner's relationship.

"I'm already married to you and have An An, so I should look forward instead of dwelling on this and that all the time. I'm going to try to get in touch with you and live together, and feelings need to be cultivated slowly.

The reason for our marriage is ridiculous. My uncle and his men framed you. I am very grateful that you did not take your anger out on me and are willing to take responsibility for me.

You are obviously a very responsible man. I didn't see clearly before and mistook the people who used me as my relatives. I figured out everything, so I brought An An to find you. Fortunately, it's not too late. "

Li Xia was really grateful to Gu Weicheng. In the few days after they met, he did not treat them and their son coldly because of the original owner's behavior in the past five years.

Gu Weicheng looked at Li Xia. This was the first time she opened her heart to him.

Knowing that Li Xia brought her child to join the army, he must have been happy, but that didn't mean the thorn in his heart about Zhou Qingshan was gone. He just didn't say it.

Now Li Xia took the initiative to bring it up and wanted to pull out the thorn.

Even though it might not be effective so quickly, Gu Weicheng was happy because it meant that Li Xia was really willing to live a good life with him.

Li Xia said to spend the two thousand yuan first, but Gu Weicheng still gave the passbook and the ticket to Li Xia and said, "In other families, women manage the money. From now on, you will be in charge of the family's money."

"Okay." Li Xia did not refuse this time and accepted the passbook and ticket.

The road at that time was not the asphalt road later. There were many stones on the road. I didn’t feel anything when I was sitting in the passenger seat when I came. But when I sat in the back, I realized that the road was really uneven and it shook my butt a little.

"Ah——" The car suddenly jolted and Li Xia almost fell down.

Fortunately, Gu Weicheng was quick-witted and grabbed her. With the force, Li Xia fell into Gu Weicheng's arms.

This was the first time the two had close contact.

The softness of Li Xia's chest pressed against Gu Weicheng's hard chest, and their breath lingered at each other's noses.

Li Xia felt a little embarrassed and moved to the side after sitting down.

When I looked up, I saw that Gu Weicheng's ears were already red.

It turns out that Captain Gu, who looks serious and cold, is even more shy than her.
