Once the supply and marketing cooperative opened, Yan Zheng took Jiang Yue inside for a stroll. Now that their relationship had changed to that of lovers, they naturally had to do the things that lovers do.
With summer just around the corner, Yan Zheng bought Jiang Yue two dresses and two pairs of unique plastic sandals from that era. Jiang Yue hadn't expected these things to be bought for her and hurriedly refused.
“Brother Yan, I have clothes to wear, and I have money to buy clothes, so you don’t need to buy me these things.” Although she hasn’t started picking bamboo shoots to earn money this year, she still has the money she earned last year, enough for her to live comfortably.
"I'm giving my boyfriend a gift, and you're not even allowed to?" Yan Zheng raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yue finally gave up. She couldn't choose a man who was too stingy, or she would have no future. Now it seemed that Yan Zheng wasn't a stingy person, and he had gained another good quality.
As the two of them came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Yue caught a glimpse of the newly arrived educated youth Feng Xintong and Gu Ningzhi walking into the cooperative together. Jiang Yue found it strange that the two of them had gotten together.
Moreover, Gu Ningzhi wasn't with Yang Liling...
I never expected that Feng Xintong, who looks so aloof and arrogant, would do something like this, stealing other people's business.
Seeing that Jiang Yue seemed distracted, Yan Zheng asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue shook her head. "It's nothing. I just had a bad eye. I thought I saw someone I knew, but it turned out not to be."
There wasn't much to see in town. At noon, the two of them had lunch at a state-run restaurant. Afterward, Yan Zheng escorted Jiang Yue back, walking her across the woods and then letting her walk the rest of the way back by herself.
At noon, Shen Jiaojiao used a pound of pork belly to make braised pork and potatoes. She didn't add too many seasonings, so Wenxi could eat it. Then she used another pound of meat to make vermicelli and meatball soup, and also made soup from the bones. She made a braised pig's trotter, and then salted the remaining meat and pig's leg to save for Wenxi to eat later.
The temperature is getting higher and higher, and by noon it's time to wear summer clothes. After eating and drinking to your heart's content, you're especially prone to feeling sleepy, so Wenxi went straight back to her room for a nap after lunch.
This season is perfect for taking a nap; it's really comfortable.
After lying down, Wenxi covered her stomach with a thin blanket and closed her eyes.

Zhu Ying had lived with Gu Yuanshan for several months, and she had really had enough of him. She never imagined that Gu Yuanshan would be such a scumbag.
When he got home from get off work, he would just lie on the bed and do nothing. He would leave all the chores to her, the pregnant woman. He wouldn't do laundry, cook, or clean the house, and he didn't care about her at all. He would treat her coldly every day and order her around, making her serve him tea and water, and treating her like a maid.
Whenever she showed any sign of resistance, he would say that this was the way couples should get along, that other couples got along the same way, that other women could do it, that even Jin Changqing could do it, so why couldn't she?
Is she inferior to other women?
Even more outrageous is that she had to hand over 20 yuan of her salary to her parents every month, and then use the rest of her salary to support their living expenses.
Because Jin Changqing had leverage over him, if she made a scene, both of them would lose their reputations and even their jobs. Therefore, he had to give Jin Changqing forty yuan every month, and he would use the rest of his income to buy cigarettes and alcohol and to treat people to meals, leaving Zhu Ying with no money at all.
Although her parents advised Zhu Ying to work hard and win Gu Yuanshan's heart as soon as possible, which might change Gu Yuanshan's attitude, because many men don't know how to cherish their wives at first, so their attitude is inevitably a bit bad, but once he falls in love, his attitude will definitely change dramatically.
The main reason is that they feel Zhu Ying is too shameful and don't want her to get a divorce. They hope that she and Gu Yuanshan will stay together so that they won't have to worry about anything.
But as her belly grew bigger and bigger, Zhu Ying really didn't dare to think about it anymore. She didn't think that Gu Yuanshan's attitude would be better after she gave birth, because his 'scumbag' nature was a man's inherent flaw. Many men were like that and never changed in their entire lives. Zhu Ying was a person who only cared about enjoying herself, and she couldn't possibly give so much for a man.
Especially since this man wasn't even someone she liked; they were only together because she was pregnant, and she wanted him to be her temporary refuge!
But it's clear that Gu Yuanshan isn't worthy!
Zhu Ying really didn't want to have a child for Gu Yuanshan for nothing. She had nothing herself, and she couldn't stand this kind of life anymore. So she went to the hospital to have an abortion and then told Gu Yuanshan about the divorce.
With the child gone, Gu Yuanshan finally broke down, angrily cursing Zhu Ying as a wicked woman who first ruined his marriage and now killed his child...
All sorts of nasty words came flying out like they were free. It was the first time Zhu Ying had ever realized that Gu Yuanshan had such a terrifying side. She immediately felt that she had made the right decision not to live with such a person for the rest of her life, otherwise she might not even know how she died.
After the divorce was finalized and Zhu Ying left, returning to her job, Gu Yuanshan finally relaxed. In fact, he had been acting with Zhu Ying for the past few months, hoping to make her give up and leave on her own. Now she was finally gone, carrying with her hatred for him.
They deliberately approached Jin Changqing, befriended her, and then ruined her marriage. I don't know what Zhu Ying has the audacity to hate them.
Several months have passed, and he doesn't know if there's any new development on Jin Changqing's side. He really likes Jin Changqing and doesn't want to lose her, but if they hadn't divorced, Zhu Ying would definitely have kept pestering him, which would have worn down their relationship.
He only came back on New Year's Eve, and he and Zhu Ying only had sex briefly, and it wasn't even his fault. He never imagined that just because he went out to work once, his wife would gain a friend, and this friend would even cunningly come into their house and sleep in their bed...
Moreover, after he noticed something was wrong with the sound, he immediately went out. He never expected that Zhu Ying would get pregnant and come knocking on his door.
Afterwards, Gu Yuanshan submitted a transfer application. He wanted to work in Kaiming County, which was Jin Changqing's hometown. In the past, Jin Changqing had always waited for him; now it was his turn to wait for her.
After his transfer application was approved, Gu Yuanshan was assigned to a public security bureau under Kaiming County and became a capable assistant to Yan Zheng.
After reporting to the Public Security Bureau and settling into his dormitory, Gu Yuanshan went to find Jin Changqing.
Jin Changqing was a primary school teacher. Although it was unknown which primary school she taught at, there weren't many schools in those days, so it was easy to find her.
