Zhao Honghui stopped and looked at Xie Yuyao, saying, "My body was badly injured this time, and the army wanted to recall me to do clerical work, but I refused."
Xie Yuyao's heart tightened. Did he prefer something more exciting?
"I've become selfish and am no longer fit to be a soldier. For the rest of my life, I only want to be by your side."
Xie Yuyao's heart was filled with turmoil, and she couldn't help but tear up. "You said those words."
“Yes.” Zhao Honghui nodded solemnly.
"From now on, you'll be a stay-at-home dad, and I'll be responsible for earning money to support the family. You'll be responsible for being beautiful—no, no, that's not right. You'll be responsible for doing the laundry, cooking, and taking care of the kids." Xie Yuyao beamed with joy.
Zhao Honghui's gaze turned deep and intense: "Then Yaoyao, when are we going to have a baby?"
Xie Yuyao blushed instantly and punched his shoulder: "You pervert!"
Zhao Honghui grasped her delicate fist and held it reverently, "Yaoyao, I'm serious."
Xie Yuyao's eyes flashed, and she smiled, "Let's talk about it when we get back to Qingshan Village."
“Okay, but this time, I don’t want to ask anyone to choose an auspicious date. We’ll decide it ourselves.” Zhao Honghui knew that there was no use in rushing things now. Neither of them had household registration or ration records in Beijing, so even if they wanted to get a marriage certificate, they would have to go back there first.
However, he had had enough of waiting and didn't want to calculate any more auspicious days.
Xie Yuyao thought of the birth date and time she had given last time, which belonged to the original owner of the body. Now that the body had been replaced, it was very likely that it was no longer valid.
Metaphysics is too mysterious, and her attitude towards it is neither complete belief nor complete denial. In her current situation, whether based on her birth date and time in her later life or her current birth date and time, it is not considered accurate.
In this way, it might be better for the two of them to choose the date themselves.
After Xie Yuyao finished her analysis in a serious tone, she deliberately said, "It depends on your performance."
Zhao Honghui knew she had already agreed, and couldn't help but grin. "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Upon arriving at the location, Xie Yuyao was stunned when she saw the tall signboard that read "Old Mo Western Restaurant".
Unexpectedly, Zhao Honghui even thought of a Western restaurant. If he added a bouquet of flowers, it would be a perfect date and confession.
The restaurant was glittering and luxurious, and they even used silver cutlery. Xie Yuyao and Zhao Honghui ordered two steaks and some snacks, and ate slowly and leisurely.
Xie Yuyao was somewhat moved as she looked at these restaurants, which were becoming increasingly similar to those of later generations.
Before long, China will undergo earth-shattering changes. Some people will be able to keep up with the times and thrive, while others will be swept along by the tide and miss the opportunity.
Xie Yuyao wanted to make good use of this opportunity to add some color to the world.
This meal cost thirteen yuan. When most people only earn twenty or thirty yuan a month, eating here is considered extravagant.
However, after the news of Zhao Honghui's survival reached Ye Xingchang, he returned the tens of thousands of yuan in relief funds intact.
He claimed he hadn't had a chance to use the money yet, but Xie Yuyao knew that if he hadn't used it, then it must have come from Ye Xingchang.
Judging from the difficulty of the rescue, he must have paid a high price, which is one of the reasons why Xie Yuyao went with him to see Grandpa Ye without thinking.
Now that she has this money, she has become a little rich again. For the two of them, the money has already achieved financial freedom in terms of a small amount of money.
The two then went to Houhai and the Great Wall, ate roast duck at Bianyifang, and Xie Yuyao even treated Zhao Honghui to Old Beijing Douzhi (fermented mung bean juice). Seeing how well he accepted it, Xie Yuyao pouted in boredom.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhao Honghui had repeatedly teetered on the brink of starvation, and now, having returned to society, he was no longer picky about food.
Speaking of eating Peking duck, it was their second visit that allowed them to try it.
The first time I went, it was a spontaneous decision while I was strolling around the area, and I only realized how crowded the restaurant was when I got there.
The two-story restaurant was packed with customers, and dozens more were waiting. Worse still, you might wait for ages on an empty stomach only to find the place has closed!
At this time, restaurants don't stay open late just because someone has taken a number and is waiting; they basically leave on time.
That time, they didn't join the crowd and instead went to eat lamb spine hot pot.
There were many shops specializing in lamb spine hot pot, and unlike in later generations, each of them had several unique skills.
Nowadays, chefs are generally skilled, and the restaurants here are all state-owned. They have to pass exams at each level, and if you don't have the skills, you can't get in by just using connections.
After several days of eating, drinking, and having fun, Xie Yuyao returned to the film crew with a large bag of dried fruit, pastries, and other snacks.
Under Xie Yuyao's care, Zhao Honghui's vitality has recovered considerably. Although his body has not fully recovered to its former state, he is no longer the same as when he first returned.
He escorted Xie Yuyao to the film set, and with Director Zhu's special permission, he accompanied her all the way to her dormitory.
Afterwards, Xie Yuyao took him to see the film set and watch other people act.
When it was almost his turn, Xie Yuyao pushed him out, saying, "I can't act with you here, go back first."
Zhao Honghui already knew the plot of the movie and was a little jealous of the male lead who was playing the romantic lead. "I'll just watch from the sidelines and won't disturb him."
"No, I don't feel comfortable there," Xie Yuyao refused repeatedly. "Perfect, our house is vacant. If you have the energy, you can find someone to renovate it properly."
Unable to persuade her otherwise, Zhao Honghui had no choice but to leave the film crew.
In the days that followed, he threw himself into the renovation and never mentioned watching Xie Yuyao film again. However, whenever he had time, he would go to the film set to pick up Xie Yuyao and take her back to the Ye family, or to take Xie Yuyao to the film set.
Within the production crew, most people knew that Xie Yuyao's boyfriend had returned, and he was still a considerate and warm-hearted man.
Zhao Honghui, who is both beautiful inside and out, has attracted the hearts of many girls in the crew. Perhaps because of the discussions among those around her, Xu Qian has become increasingly interested in him.
At first, she didn't feel anything when she saw Zhao Honghui, and even thought to herself that Xie Yuyao was blind, actually rejecting the excellent Ye Sanshao in every way and going back to her original partner.
At this moment, no matter how much she deceived herself, she knew that Xie Yuyao had not fallen in love with someone else, after all, the light of happiness in her eyes was so obvious.
But Yao Qian simply couldn't believe that Xie Yuyao hadn't deliberately tried to curry favor with the Ye family. She didn't know what was wrong with the Ye family members; they were all completely bewitched by her.
But as Zhao Honghui grew more and more handsome, and when Yao Qian thought back to the slap she had suffered, she couldn't swallow her anger.
She had a sudden inspiration and dug out the film she had secretly taken back then.
