After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Le gave the remaining half cup of milk tea to Li Zichen, "I just used half a piece of meat, this is yours."
Li Zichen nodded, "Use whatever you want."
Xu Jiaojiao was cleaning the house and planned to go to the county to buy two pieces of meat tomorrow, returning one and keeping one for herself.
Seeing that Li Zichen had finished eating but hadn't left yet, Su Le asked in confusion, "Why haven't you left yet?"
Xu Jiaojiao glanced at them and quickly returned to her room. Li Zichen then began to say, "You are my wife, I will live wherever you live."
Su Le rolled his eyes at him and said, "We are collaborating!"
Li Zichen denied it, "Do you have evidence? I have evidence to prove that you are my wife. Do you have it?"
Su Le laughed angrily, "Does your leader know that you are such a shameless person?" Su Le hid in the room and closed the door.
Li Zichen stood outside the door and said, "Wife, if you don't open the door, I will come in by myself."
Su Le hated how rural houses didn't have locks. Li Zichen pushed the door open, and Su Le took two quilts and put them on the table. "You'll have to sleep on the floor!"
Li Zichen was thinking about how to get the quilt wet, but Su Le pointed it out directly, "If you get it wet, you'll just have to sleep with it all night!"
Li Zichen had no choice but to nod his head. He couldn't push his luck too far, or his wife would run away!
Su Le took out two quilt covers from the space, one for him to use as a cushion and the other for him to cover himself.
Li Zichen touched it and it was really soft. "Wife, this quilt is different from ours."
Su Le turned his back and didn't look at him. "It's a down quilt, the light one. The pad is a cotton quilt."
Upon hearing this, Li Zichen spread the quilt on the ground and covered himself with the down duvet. There was a fragrance, the same as the smell of his wife's clothes.
Li Zichen's biological clock woke her up at six o'clock. She folded two small pieces of tofu and placed them on the table. She carefully left the room, began exercising in the yard, and filled their water tank.
Su Le woke up slowly. It seemed that he was the only one who couldn't sleep yesterday.
Looking around, there was no sign of Li Zichen. His eyes were fixed on the two pieces of tofu. He took out a set of clothes from the closet, changed into them, and put away the tofu.
Li Zichen pushed the door open and walked in. "Wife, you're awake. Wait for me, I'll get you some water to wash your face."
Su Le got up, changed his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up. Li Zichen had already prepared warm water. "Wife, are you going to send out the four packages in your room?"
Su Le nodded and said, "It's for my brothers and parents." Then she started brushing her teeth and washing her face. Li Zichen looked at her curiously as she squeezed the facial cleanser and said, "What is this, wife?" He reached out and picked it up to have a look.
After Su Le washed his face, he took a look and said, "Facial cleanser. For washing your face."
Li Zichen also tried it like Su Le did, and it was indeed much better than soap.
Su Le returned to his room, took out another men's shirt, tore off the label, and handed it to Li Zichen. "You use this!"
Su Le casually ate some steamed buns, then took his package and rode his bicycle to the county.
Li Zichen could only look at her back and continue to build the house in silence.
"Youngest, why are you the only one here? Where is fifth brother's wife?" Wang Lan had already heard the news of their marriage from Yao Cuifang.
"Why didn't your sister-in-law come?" Chen Qing also asked.
Li Zichen handed the meat to them and said, "She went to the county to mail a package to her brothers." Then he threw himself into the work team. "Finish it as soon as possible! Let my wife move in too!" Thinking of this, Li Zichen returned to normal.
Su Le delivered a package to the county. When the postman tried to sell her stamps again, she took one or two smaller ones.
Su Le went to the supply and marketing cooperative again and saw two bottles of Moutai liquor.
Su Le smiled at the salesperson and said, "I want two bottles of Moutai."
The salesman handed her a bottle and said, "Sorry, we limit purchases to one bottle per person per week. 7 dollars a bottle."
Su Le looked at the bottle of Maotai standing there in disappointment and could only take out 7 yuan to give to her.
I went out of the supply and marketing cooperative and found a place where no one was around, changed my clothes and put on makeup.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, bought some egg cakes, fruit candies, and finally asked for a bottle of Moutai.
The salesmen are used to this, and every time Moutai comes out, it is sold out.
Su Le changed his clothes contentedly and watched carefully for a long time.
Riding his bike happily, he looked inside the dilapidated temple and found a piece of paper at the place where they had agreed to meet.
The pen tip is as straight and powerful as a sword, showing the confidence and style of the writer.
The more Su Le read, the more she found it resembled a person. The higher-ups wanted her to cooperate with the military, and the military's food was just steamed buns, vegetable soup, and occasionally meat.
She frowned and put the letter away. She admired soldiers, and if it were her time, she would definitely donate it. But in this era, no one would praise her, but would only doubt the provenance of her things.
Although it says it’s paid, there are risks, don’t they?
Su Le kept thinking about this on the way back. Li Zichen seemed to know that she had connections, but he didn't know that she had a space. It seemed that she had to be careful when entering and exiting in front of Li Zichen. She basically didn't go in unless it was necessary. At most, her consciousness would enter when she was sleeping.
Li Zichen calculated the time and started cooking in Su Le's room so that she could have something hot to eat when she came back.
Su Le returned home, feeling worried, and smelled the aroma of meat. Who was cooking? Jiaojiao?
Thinking about this, I went to the kitchen and saw a big figure cooking.
Li Zichen noticed someone behind him, "Are you back? Wash your hands and have dinner." As he said that, he took out the big pot of vegetables and meat from the pot.
The two of them ate in silence, Su Le occasionally glancing at Li Zichen. Didn't he have anything to ask? Su Le pondered, not realizing he had already asked.
"No. You have your secrets. If you want to tell me, you will tell me." Li Zichen replied.
Su Le asked casually, "What do my brothers and the others eat?"
Li Zichen said seriously, "Soldiers are all in the army, and they eat and drink the same things. Unless they are with their families, they can cook their own meals. Otherwise, they are basically no different from the villagers. Most of them eat and drink in the army, occasionally meat, steamed buns, vegetables, and some fruits."
Su Le nodded without replying. He quickly finished his meal and returned to his room.
