Gu Ye approached Jiang Yue with a playful smile, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not like my parents don't understand!"
Jiang Yue's mouth twitched, "Let's eat first!"
She didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Gu Ye.
After dinner, it was already dark. Jiang Yue saw Gu Ye clearing the dishes and going to wash them, so she hurried over with the kettle.
It was so cold that the large water tank next to the well was frozen. My hands would be frozen if I washed dishes with cold water.
"The water is too cold, add some hot water before washing!"
Although Gu Ye was not afraid of the cold, his young wife felt sorry for him and felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
"Let's go to my sister-in-law's house later. We've been away for so long, so we need to ask her to help look after the baby." Gu Ye said to Jiang Yue.
"Okay!" Jiang Yue leaned on Gu Ye's shoulder and leaned close to his ear to ask him, "Did you put those things away?"
Jiang Yue was asking about the small yellow croaker. When she was packing her luggage just now, she noticed that the two boxes of small yellow croaker were no longer in the wardrobe, along with the ones she had taken out of the rosewood table before.
"Well, don't worry!" Gu Ye replied.
He didn't tell Jiang Yue where he hid it, and Jiang Yue didn't ask, showing that she trusted Gu Ye very much.
Husband and wife should trust each other. If they calculate everything they do or are on guard against each other, they will definitely not have a happy life.
Jiang Yue learned this from Sister Zhao. Even though Sister Zhao and Captain Zhao have been married for twenty years and have four children, their family appears to be harmonious to outsiders.
After all, Captain Zhao holds a high position. In this day and age, being a captain in the military means not only a high salary, but also a lot of hidden benefits.
But Zhao's wife privately told Jiang Yue that she and Captain Zhao often quarreled. Why? Of course, it was because of money.
Captain Zhao's salary was high, but he had to support his parents. He was away from home all year round, and his parents relied on his brothers for support, so he had to give money to his brothers. As a result, more than half of his salary of just over 100 yuan was gone, and the remaining money had to support a large family, which was really a bit difficult.
The young boy ate his father out of money. Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Jianjun were only 16 or 17 years old. They were three times as good as each other. Although Zhao Yuanqi was young, he was also a big eater. Their family did not have enough food coupons every month, and they had to spend money to buy food. They lived a tight life at the end of the month.
Zhao's wife had suggested to Captain Zhao more than once that he should give his brothers less money, saying that it was their responsibility to support their parents, and he couldn't just pay their brothers' wages. But Captain Zhao disagreed, insisting that his brothers had taken on the responsibility for him, and he felt guilty, so he insisted on sending money back on time every month.
Later, whenever the matter was mentioned, the two would quarrel, and in the end, they couldn't even mention it again.
Jiang Yue was very surprised when she heard Sister Zhao say this. She had never known that Sister Zhao's family was so tight financially. Sister Zhao had never mentioned it to her. She had always thought that Captain Zhao had handed over all his salary.
Later, Jiang Yue asked Gu Ye, but Gu Ye also said he didn't know. I guess Captain Zhao was too concerned about his reputation and didn't tell anyone about it.
But this also explains why Mrs. Zhao wants to start a small business to make money so much.
With a man in the family who was too concerned about his reputation, Mrs. Zhao felt disheartened and wanted only to earn money with her own hands.
Gu Ye washed the dishes, wiped the water off them and put them back in the cupboard. He looked at the time and estimated that Mrs. Zhao should have had dinner, so the two of them took Ningning to Mrs. Zhao's house.
When Jiang Yue entered the room, she saw Zhao's wife washing dishes and Zhao Cui clearing the table. Several men of the Zhao family were sitting or lying down, and she couldn't help but frowning secretly.
However, this is the way of life of each family, and Jiang Yue, an outsider, is not in a position to comment on it.
In fact, Jiang Yue knew that this family model was very common even in the era she lived in. China has had a tradition since ancient times that men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. Men earn money to support the family, while women do housework and take care of the whole family at home.
"Jiang Yue is here, sit for a while! I'll be ready soon!" Mrs. Zhao washed the dishes for the whole family, her hands were red from the cold.
"Sister-in-law, have you finished using the hand cream I gave you? Tell me when you are done, I have more!" Jiang Yue had made some wool hand cream herself and gave a bottle to Sister-in-law Zhao.
But today, when she saw that Sister Zhao had frostbite on her hands, she felt very distressed.
"There's more, I can't bear to put it on!" Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
Captain Zhao, who was talking to Gu Ye, also laughed at this time, "Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law's hands are those of the working people. She has been used to doing rough work since she was a child. Why would she apply hand cream? That's something that only capitalist daughters use! Your sister-in-law doesn't need it!"
Jiang Yue was unhappy when she heard this. "Brother Zhao, what you said means that the hands of the working people are not hands? Everyone is born to be a treasure of their parents. Why do you say that my sister-in-law doesn't deserve to apply hand cream!"
Seeing Jiang Yue was angry, Captain Zhao laughed and explained, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant! I meant that your sister-in-law doesn't like to use any cream."
Seeing Jiang Yue's gloomy face, Sister Zhao quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Jiang Yue, don't listen to him. Sister-in-law likes the hand cream you gave her, and the face cream. Sister-in-law has been using it too!"
Seeing that Jiang Yue was about to quarrel with Captain Zhao, Gu Ye quickly changed the subject, "Old Zhao, I'm going to Beijing tomorrow. I'd like to trouble you and sister-in-law to help take care of my family."
"OK!"
Captain Zhao naturally agreed.
It's the end of the year, and thieves and pickpockets have become active. The public security bureau has caught quite a few pickpockets at the New Year's fairs in recent days. They all took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune when people brought money out to buy New Year's goods before the New Year.
Although the family compound is relatively safe, there are still many people coming in and out every day. There have been cases of thieves breaking into the family compound in previous years, so it is right for Gu Ye to be cautious.
Jiang Yue chatted with Mrs. Zhao for a while, then she, Gu Ye and Ning Ning went home.
"Are you still angry?" Seeing Jiang Yue was angry, Gu Ye reached out and stroked her face.
The temperature was low at night, and the wind blowing on her face felt like a knife cutting. Jiang Yue's scarf couldn't cover her puffy little mouth.
"I know you feel sorry for my sister-in-law, but that is her family affair. She herself didn't say anything, so it's inconvenient for us outsiders to interfere." Gu Ye advised Jiang Yue.
"I know!" Jiang Yue rubbed her face against Gu Ye's palm and said in a humming voice, "I was just thinking, I'm so lucky to marry you!"
Gu Ye's eyes suddenly trembled, and his big hand that was stroking Jiang Yue's face also trembled. His lips moved and he asked, "Do you really think so?"
Jiang Yue placed her palm on the back of Gu Ye's hand, then grabbed his hand. With a curved eye, she kissed the palm of Gu Ye's hand, "Of course!"
Gu Ye smiled.
Jiang Yue's breath fell on his palm, making him feel tingling and numb. Gu Ye pulled her into his arms.
He was extremely handsome, and when he smiled, he was as bright as the morning sun, as if all the ice and snow in the sky would be melted by this smile.
"Jiang Yue, thank you!"
Thank you for coming into my life. Having you in this life is my greatest luck!
