After staying in the hospital for half a month, Zhen Qi Jingxuan went to the government primary school to take up his post as an art teacher.

The group of children selected by the spies were selected again, and a few children who were really talented in painting were left, and An An was one of them.

The Ma Ai Party lost the election, but this is understandable.

After all...his paintings are indeed very abstract.

Fortunately, Ma Aidang was a big-hearted person. Although he was a little sad for a while, he felt happy because he didn't have to learn painting after school and had more time to play. In short, he had a good attitude and was happy no matter what.

"Mom, I feel that Jifeng has gained weight since he came to our house." After An An finished her homework and tutored Ma Aidang with her homework, she came to play with Jifeng.

Ever since An An and Ma Aidang became classmates, even Mrs. Tao said that Ma Aidang is more studious than before.

He used to run around the yard after school, but now he does his homework as soon as he comes home. The teacher even praises him for his progress!

Gu Weicheng came back in the evening and said that the army had issued him the mission allowance for the first half of the year, a total of more than 400 yuan. He said, "Wife, let's go to the city tomorrow and buy back the other two things we owe you."

The other two turns in the three turns and one sound are the sewing machine and the bicycle.

Originally, Li Xia thought that since it was Gu Weicheng's intention, if he wanted to buy it for her, then he should buy it.

But the last time when Mrs. Tao was making clothes for Zhou Yunxing, Li Xia tried to use the sewing machine and almost pricked her finger. After that, she was really afraid of the sewing machine.

As for the bicycle, she didn't need it. The family compound was not far from the army propaganda department and could be reached by walking.

So Li Xia said, "I can't really use sewing machines or bicycles, Weicheng, I'll pick something else when we go to the city."

"Okay, I'll buy you whatever you want." Gu Weicheng had no objection to Li Xia's request.

I originally wanted to repair her sewing machine only out of guilt, thinking that I had treated her unfairly when we got married. Since she didn't want a sewing machine and a bicycle, it was natural to replace them with something else.

Gu Weicheng's brain is not so stubborn that he can't even turn this corner.

When An An heard that they were going to the city tomorrow, she quickly said, "Mom and Dad, let's take Ji Feng to the city tomorrow. Ji Feng has never been there before!"

When Jifeng heard An An say that he wanted to take him with her, he wagged his tail at An An happily.

"Okay, then take Jifeng with you." Gu Weicheng agreed to An An's request without any hesitation.

We went to the city in a military vehicle, which was quite spacious, just a little more than a whirlwind, so there was nothing it couldn't fit.

When An An saw that his father agreed, he cheered happily.

After cheering, he began to "educate" Ji Feng: "Ji Feng, you must follow me closely when we get to the city tomorrow. There are many people in the city, and the department store there is very big. If you don't follow me closely, you won't be able to find me. Do you understand?"

After An An finished speaking, Ji Feng nodded very humanely.

Li Xia looked at the child and the dog, chuckled, and continued to sit under the grape vines and write.

Gu Weicheng was not worried about what would happen to Jifeng when he went to the city. Jifeng was a qualified military dog. It seemed that An An was teaching him. In fact, dogs of Jifeng's age knew more than An An.

The next morning, Li Xia and his family of three got on a military vehicle and went to the city. The round trip took too much time, so they had to leave early.

Ji Feng was very well behaved in the military vehicle, but An An fell asleep on the road. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night because he was too excited about going to the city today.

Gu Weicheng held An An in his arms and wrapped him in his military coat. An An slept soundly in the car.

All the way to the department store, the car stopped, An An heard his mother calling him, then rubbed his eyes and said confusedly: "Mom, we're in the city so soon?"

"It's not fast at all. We set off at seven o'clock. Look at what time it is now." Li Xia raised her hand and let An An check the time on her watch.

Li Xia has read An An's book, and they are about to learn the knowledge point of time, which is a good opportunity for him to acquire more relevant knowledge in life.

For this purpose, Li Xia bought an alarm clock for An An and placed it on his bedside table.

"It's already 10:05. It's really late." An An smiled sheepishly and got off Gu Weicheng. "Dad has been holding me for so long, his hands must be sore. An An will give you a massage."

After saying that, An An pressed Gu Weicheng's arm in a very serious manner.

This is how dad massages mom’s hands when they feel sore from writing.

"You must have slept very late last night." Gu Weicheng said.

An An nodded: "I'm worried that Ji Feng is not familiar with the city on his first day and may not be able to sleep."

Ji Feng whimpered beside him, and Li Xia said with a smile: "Ji Feng is very well behaved, there is no need for you to worry about him."

They entered the department store again, and the salesperson who greeted them was still Xiao Zhao. However, this time, it was not someone else who asked Xiao Zhao to greet them, but Xiao Zhao took the initiative to come.

Looking again, the badge on Xiao Zhao's chest had changed, and he had been promoted to team leader.

"You are here again. What do you want to buy this time? I'll take you to see it." Xiao Zhao said with a smile.

Li Xia was a little surprised: "Do you still remember us?"

Xiao Zhao nodded: "You two are both good-looking, and your child is also good-looking. It's hard to forget you."

"Congratulations, you've been promoted to team leader." Li Xia said, "I want to buy a gold ring. Do you have a pair of rings here?"

Xiao Zhao blushed and said thank you, then took them to the gold selling area and carefully introduced the gold ring to Li Xia.

At that time, there were not many styles of gold rings, and the craftsmanship was also average. Even if there were patterns, they were basically the kind of flowers blooming and prosperous. Among these styles, Li Xia took a fancy to a pair of plain gold rings.

"This is the pair." Li Xia said, pointing at the gold ring.

It was not until the two gold rings were taken out that Gu Weicheng realized that the pair of gold rings that Li Xia was talking about were one for Li Xia and one for him. At first he thought that Li Xia wanted to buy two gold rings.

"Wife, you can wear it. I, a rough man, don't need to wear this." Gu Weicheng said quickly. He looked at Li Xia's slender and white fingers with golden rings on them. "It looks good on you."

Li Xia didn't listen to him and put another gold ring on his ring finger, saying, "These rings come in pairs. Don't you want to be a pair with me?"

Li Xia looked up, pouted and asked Gu Weicheng.

He is innocent!

How could he not want to? He liked her very much.

Because of this, I wanted to give her all the good things. And I also took into consideration that as a soldier, he couldn't wear a gold ring when he was in the regiment or on a mission, so I thought it would be a waste to buy it for myself, after all, the time he put it away was much longer than the time he wore it on his hand.

But since his wife had said so, Gu Weicheng immediately shook his head and said, "I do. Of course I do."

"Then buy this one." Li Xia was very satisfied with Gu Weicheng's answer.

Li Xia remembered that she had read a document before, which said that in 1970, the price of gold was less than three yuan per gram, so she thought that the price of gold in 1974 would not be much higher. However, when Xiao Zhao mentioned the price, she found out that the price of gold was actually 50 yuan per gram now!

Fortunately, she chose a plain gold ring, and the two rings together only weigh 8.68 grams, and the total cost is 434 yuan.

She had originally planned to buy a longevity lock for An An, but when she saw that the lock weighed 18.8 grams, she realized that she only had less than 1,000 yuan with her this time, so she didn't have enough money.

So, Li Xia urgently withdrew a longevity lock and said to An An, "An An, when mom's manuscript fee comes down, I will buy you this longevity lock then, okay?"

"Mom, An An doesn't want it." An An shook his head, not very interested in this yellow thing.

Gold is not as attractive to children as a piece of candy.

Even so, Li Xia decided to buy a longevity lock for An An when she had enough money next time. Buying gold is actually an investment. Gold will only become more and more expensive in the future. Buy some now and sell it when the price is high in the future. As long as you choose the right time, you will only make money and not lose money.

It was just past eleven when they walked out of the department store. It was still early, so Li Xia planned to take An An for a walk in the city and go back after lunch.

"I know a shop that serves delicious beef noodles. I'll take you there." Gu Weicheng said, "It's an old shop. I came here to eat with my comrades when I was in the army for only one or two years."

"It must taste delicious." Li Xia said.

However, the location was a bit remote, not in the city center, so led by Gu Weicheng, the three people and the dog walked towards the noodle shop.

At this moment, Ji Feng seemed to have discovered something and suddenly stopped walking. Then it barked a few times in one direction, then bit Gu Weicheng's trouser leg and pulled him away.

Seeing Ji Feng so manic, An An asked nervously: "Ji Feng, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Weicheng had already guessed that Ji Feng must have discovered something, so he told Li Xia, "Wife, I think something is wrong. You take good care of An An. I'll follow Ji Feng to take a look."

After saying this, Gu Weicheng immediately followed Ji Feng and chased into the alley.
