Today is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. Gu Ye got up early in the morning to clean the house. After Jiang Yue got up and saw him busy, she also took a rag to wipe the table.
"I'll do it, you take a rest!" Gu Ye took the rag from Jiang Yue's hand and stopped her from working.
"We're going to make dumplings for lunch. What kind of filling do you want?"
"I can do anything!" Jiang Yue stood by the door, tilted her head and smiled at Gu Ye.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Yue's eyes curved, "Gu Ye, you feel like a married man now!"
He was completely different from the cold, stern, and unsmiling military officer that Jiang Yue first met by the lake in the provincial capital.
Gu Ye curled his lips and said proudly: "I'm married and will be a father soon. I should have the feeling of being a husband!"
Jiang Yue chuckled, touched by Gu Ye's proud look.
She twisted her waist and walked in front of him, grabbed his collar with both hands and gently pulled it down, then Gu Ye leaned over and Jiang Yue kissed his thin lips passionately.
Gu Ye raised the corners of his eyes slightly and met Jiang Yue's smiling eyes. His breath suddenly became unstable. He threw the rag in his hand aside, and put his big hands around her slender waist. Without any hesitation, he immediately turned from passive to active, and deepened the kiss.
After returning from the capital, Jiang Yue had been feeling unwell, and with the arrival of the Shi family, the two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time.
Now Gu Ye naturally didn’t dare to do that, but kissing and hugging were still okay.
When the kiss ended, Jiang Yue was sitting in Gu Ye's arms. She hugged his neck and rubbed her head against his neck. The two of them stayed together for a while. Gu Ye saw that it was getting late and had to go out.
"When are we going to the county town?" Gu Ye asked Jiang Yue.
"I'll be leaving in a moment!" The clothing store is reopening today, and the owner Jiang Yue has to be there.
Speaking of which, Jiang Yue hasn't been to the county town much these days. Aunt Yang and Yang Cuiling are busy in the store. She feels a little ashamed of being a hands-off shopkeeper.
"I'll pick you up at noon! Be careful and don't get squeezed!" Gu Ye kissed Jiang Yue on the forehead. His young wife was so fragrant and soft, but now he could only look at her but not eat her. When he thought about having to live like this for another eight months, he felt a little anxious.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Although Gu Ye was greedy for that kind of thing, that was based on the premise that Jiang Yue was in good health. Now that she was not feeling well, he had to cultivate his character.
Jiang Yue ate a bun and went out with Gu Ye. Gu Ye went to the regiment headquarters, and she went to the county town.
When they parted, Gu Ye reminded him a little worriedly, "Wait for me at noon!"
After reminding Jiang Yue to be careful on the road, Gu Ye watched Jiang Yue walk out of the camp.
When Jiang Yue arrived at the store, it was already ready. There was a poster outside the door written on red paper saying "Big opening sale: 30% off for one item, 40% off for two items, and 50% off for three items." There were also two pots of money trees and some green plants placed at the door.
"Auntie, Cuiling, thank you for your hard work!" Jiang Yue walked into the store and felt very sorry when she saw Auntie Yang and Yang Cuiling busy as he went.
"It's not hard!" Aunt Yang pulled Jiang Yue and looked at her with a worried look on her face. "Why are you thinner? Do you have a poor appetite? Are you having a big reaction?"
When Jiang Yue decided to reopen the business a few days ago, she told Aunt Yang about her pregnancy. Aunt Yang, like Sister Zhao, truly treated Jiang Yue as her own daughter. When she heard the news, she was extremely happy for Jiang Yue and immediately asked her to rest at home while she would take care of the store's affairs.
"Well, I can't smell the rice at all. It feels like something is stuck in my throat when I eat it." Jiang Yue sighed.
"Be patient. As women, we all have to go through this. We just need to get through it!" Aunt Yang felt very distressed.
After a while, Mrs. Zhao and Wang Weiwei also arrived.
"Where is my sister-in-law's oven?" Jiang Yue stretched her head and looked, but there was no sister-in-law Zhao's oven or tricycle outside.
"Your store is opening today, so I want to bring an oven over. Isn't that a bit... Weiwei?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Wang Weiwei.
"It's taking over the show!" Wang Weiwei laughed.
"Yes, yes, the guests are the main attraction!" Sister Zhao held Jiang Yue's hands, "It must be busy today, sister-in-law is here to help you, roasted sweet potatoes can be sold at any time!"
Jiang Yue smiled, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
At 8:08, the first clothing store in Qingshan County reopened after being closed for almost a month. Fireworks were set off in a lively atmosphere, and all the people who had been waiting to see the fun came running over.
"What's going on? Didn't this store offend some big shot in the provincial capital? It was smashed and looted like that last time, how dare they still open now?" People who didn't know the truth were talking about it.
"Bah! What big shot from the provincial capital? Didn't you read the newspaper? He's just a gangster leader who has done many evil things and has been arrested!"
"There's such a thing? It's impossible, isn't it? Last time I heard that he was a big shot, and the leaders of the provincial capital had to give him face! Wasn't I hospitalized that day? As soon as he went to the hospital, the hospital leaders cleared out the entire second floor, and all of us went to the first floor to sleep on the floor!"
"It's absolutely true! I have a relative in the provincial capital who said he was paraded through the streets on the day of his arrest, and many people threw rotten eggs at him!"
Several people were discussing it, but no one could tell the specific situation. They only knew that the big shot was a fake and had been wiped out.
Back to the matter of the clothing store reopening, the onlookers had another heated discussion.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. It is actually a bit late for Jiang Yue to open its business at this time. Many families have already prepared new clothes for the Chinese New Year before the twelfth lunar month. Nowadays, most people still go to tailors to make clothes.
However, Jiang Yue’s store has many styles of clothing, many of which are new models, especially the ski suits sold more than a month ago, of which only a few were sold at that time.
