Chapter 003: Husband and wife are one, if he succeeds, you will also enjoy the happiness
"Comrade Li Fang."
Chen Yuan stopped and introduced the smiling girl in front of him, "This is my wife, Su Wan."
Li Fang's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Chen Yuan, then at Su Wan. Her eyes turned red and mist quickly filled up in her eyes. Her eyes were misty and looked very charming.
Even though Su Wan had seen many beautiful girls, she couldn't help but admire that the girls in the 1980s were truly natural beauties.
She had already seen several of them on the street, and they were very recognizable, unlike the faces of later generations, which all looked the same. She often felt face blind.
"Hello, I'm Su Wan."
Su Wan held out her hand. Li Fang looked at her plump, white hand and shook it. "Hello, I'm a nurse in the army. My name is Li Fang."
"Sorry, we have to go shopping."
Chen Yuan nodded at Li Fang, but had no intention of chatting with her.
Li Fang looked at her back and wanted to say something, but she held it back. Tears kept welling up in her eyes, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.
Su Wan trotted after him and asked Chen Yuan, "Are you close?"
Chen Yuan paused, his handsome face filled with seriousness. "Could you please stop imagining things? Comrade Li Fang and I are just acquaintances."
He suddenly became serious, and Su Wan was also frightened.
She also suddenly remembered that this was 1982, and the crackdown had just ended, but promiscuous relationships between men and women were still very serious.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
Su Wan apologized, but Chen Yuan didn't respond to her with a cold face. He took a step forward and walked forward.
Su Wan, who was following behind, sighed softly.
The relationship between husband and wife is not very good. Can she consider divorce?
As a typical new century woman, she thought more about how to make more money in the 1980s rather than how to repair her marriage. After all, the 1980s was the period of reform and opening up, which was the best time to make money.
She also wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation to become an individual business owner and earn more money, buy a few courtyard houses in Beijing, buy a few pieces of land in Shanghai, and buy two more pieces of land in Coconut City, waiting for them to appreciate in value.
As for this marriage, Su Wan didn't care much about it.
No matter how handsome a man is, he is not as good as making money. If this cheap husband has no feelings for her and dislikes her in every way, then she thinks that an early divorce will be better for both parties.
Of course, she didn't say it right away.
If they are suitable for each other, try living together for a few months. If they really can't get along, she will file for divorce.
Thinking this in his heart, Su Wan's steps became much lighter.
Chen Yuan took her to buy some meat buns on the street, went to two state-owned stores, used food coupons to buy 35 kilograms of rice, used two meat coupons to buy two kilograms of meat, and also bought pots, pans, and a few kilograms of cabbage and some vegetable seedlings in the market. Then they returned to the place where they were going to meet.
After returning to the military camp by car, Chen Yuan didn't talk to Su Wan along the way, but he didn't ask her to carry anything heavy. He carried the rice and other things back to the house by himself, put them down, and left again.
Watching the young couple return together, the sisters-in-law in the family building sat together, eating sunflower seeds, and muttered, "Captain Chen's wife has become a different person overnight. I don't know if she's just pretending or if she's finally come to her senses."
"She's so lazy. Captain Chen is tall, handsome, and ambitious. I wonder why he would end up marrying someone like her?"
"The wives brought home are usually found by their families. In rural areas, this is the standard. Judging from her appearance, her family must be quite well-off. Otherwise, how could Captain Chen's family be interested in her?"
Su Wan didn't know that someone was gossiping about her, and she wouldn't care even if she knew.
It was almost nine o'clock when she returned from the county. She took yesterday's clothes out in a bucket to wash. Summer clothes wash quickly, but it still took almost twenty minutes.
After hanging the clothes on the bamboo poles to dry, she went to her own vegetable garden.
There are five pieces of land of medium size in the vegetable garden. They must have been cultivated by someone before. She only needs to turn the soil over and then plant the vegetable seedlings.
She didn't dare to be lazy, for fear that the vegetable seedlings would die from the heat, so she took the hoe at the door and started digging the soil.
These plots of land are not big. Last night she specially brought water to loosen the soil. After digging for more than an hour, she planted the vegetable seedlings.
She really didn't know how to grow vegetables, so she could only learn from what she saw others doing on the Internet. She would dig holes at certain distances and plant the seedlings. As for whether the seeds would survive, she could only leave it to fate.
She was sweating profusely in the vegetable garden, which made the sisters-in-law look even more surprised.
One of the older sisters-in-law couldn't sit still anymore when she saw her planting vegetables. She walked up to Su Wan and said, "Captain Chen's family, you can't plant your pepper seedlings like this..."
Seeing that Su Wan didn't know how to do it, she simply squatted down and taught her while planting rice.
Everyone lived in the same residential building. Although they couldn't stand Su Wan being so lazy, it was Chen Yuan who was bothering him, not them, so it wasn't a big deal to help him.
Su Wan followed and learned, and after she finished, she did not forget to say to her sister-in-law: "Thank you, sister-in-law, it really troubles you."
"It's not a big deal. My husband's surname is Wei. He's a colleague of your husband's. He's the commander of the Second Battalion."
"Then I'll call you Sister Wei. My name is Su Wan, and you can call me by my name." Su Wan said sweetly, and then explained: "When I first came here, I was a little naive and didn't know how to get along with the sisters-in-law, so I made some jokes."
"These are all minor matters. Everyone has been through that time before. It's our fault for not being careful. You must be feeling uncomfortable in the family housing complex. We should have talked to you more earlier."
What Mrs. Wei said was somewhat against her will.
When Su Wan first arrived, the sisters-in-law came to her house and wanted to get closer to her, but she turned them down. After a few attempts, the sisters-in-law found that she was lazy and difficult to get along with, so naturally they were unwilling to meddle in her affairs anymore.
Now that she is back to normal, Mrs. Wei is relieved.
We all live in the family building, and we see each other every day, so we have to deal with each other eventually.
Mrs. Wei was a very nice person and helped her plant all the vegetable seedlings.
When the two of them parted ways, Sister Wei hesitated for a moment, but then she said to Su Wan earnestly, "Xiao Su, don't blame me for being nosy. Your husband is the battalion commander, and you two just got married. In the military camp, everyone has to treat everyone to a meal. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Wan naturally understood. She nodded and said, "I'll discuss this with Chen Yuan when he comes back. I'll have to trouble my sisters-in-law for help then. I'm afraid I can't do it alone."
Seeing that Su Wan didn't get angry but agreed immediately, Wei's wife breathed a sigh of relief. "Your husband is a capable man. He will definitely continue to be promoted. As women, we must help maintain the relationships we should maintain. Husband and wife are one. If he can succeed, you will also be able to enjoy the good things in the future."
