Chapter 167 Huo Jianguo, You Are So Nice
That night, every movement of Huo Jianguo was extremely gentle, and he was careful, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
It was so gentle that Su Mei couldn't help but urge him.
~~~~
It doesn't matter if it's faster.
After a long time, they both finally lay down with red faces.
It was not until the end that Su Mei remembered to ask Huo Jianguo: "Didn't you say that we didn't need to hold a wedding ceremony? Why did you secretly prepare for it without telling me?"
"Because I think I should give you an explanation. You said you didn't want to postpone the wedding, but you were afraid of the trouble. Then I will prepare everything, and you can just send someone. Wouldn't that save the trouble?"
"Huo Jianguo, you're so nice." Su Mei was really contented. Her heart was warm and she was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
No one had ever thought so carefully about her.
She thought this was the best, but Huo Jianguo had something even better waiting for her. He took out a passbook from under the pillow and handed it to Su Mei:
"This ten thousand yuan is all my possessions. From now on, it will be yours to keep. You can buy whatever you like and spend whatever you like.
Originally I was going to give you this money as compensation in the event of a divorce, but now that we are not getting a divorce, I have to give it to you. I am yours, and my money is yours, too."
"Ten thousand yuan?" Su Mei's voice was a little shaky. She had never thought that in the 1980s, when the motherland was not full of gold, Huo Jianguo could become a millionaire without relying on a large family. She was completely stunned:
"How do you save so much money?"
"My monthly salary is 140, I send 40 back home, spend 20, and save 80 every month. I have been doing this for ten years, day after day, plus military awards, so naturally, a little bit adds up to a lot.
"Except for the last year you came, I saved a lot of money every year before that. I spent some money on the wedding gifts today, otherwise it would be more." Huo Jianguo looked very proud, and it was obvious that he was very proud of himself for saving so much money.
Being able to save money regularly month after month and year after year is indeed a skill.
But Su Mei was used to being independent, and had not yet developed the habit of taking other people's money. She said very embarrassedly:
"I'll save the money for you first!"
"You are not saving it for me, you are saving it for yourself. This money will be yours from now on. I am willing to hand over everything I have to you. Do you understand?" Huo Jianguo did not miss any loopholes in Su Mei's words.
Suddenly, Su Mei went from being an older single woman to entering married life. She had just adapted to the new situation emotionally, and could not adapt to the changes in her life so quickly. She felt that the passbook that Huo Jianguo gave her was like a burning sensation:
"Isn't it a bit like I'm taking advantage of you if I take all your money?"
Because she was an orphan and had never experienced family life, Su Mei did not know that in many Chinese families, men would give their money to their wives to manage.
She is a maverick who believes that everyone's property is private and should not be shared, nor should one covet other people's property.
In her opinion, taking away Huo Jianguo's personal money feels like taking advantage of others.
"Take advantage of me?" Huo Jianguo was very dissatisfied with these four words: "We are a family. Yours is mine and mine is yours. What's cheap about it?"
Su Mei thought, this is where the problem lies.
Ask yourself, if the 10,000 yuan belonged to Su Mei, and she was now asked to willingly give it to Huo Jianguo for safekeeping, she would absolutely not be willing to do so.
You can talk to her about feelings, but you can't talk to her about money.
What belongs to Huo Jianguo may be hers, but what belongs to her...is hers.
Because she was not so frank and sincere, Su Mei felt a little ashamed when she held Huo Jianguo's belongings.
She couldn't completely entrust her life and property to anyone else - not even the person she loved.
Compared with Huo Jianguo's sincerity, Su Mei felt that she was holding back from him, and she felt a little guilty.
She could not give this upright man the same level of trust.
But Su Mei still kept Huo Jianguo's passbook.
Time will tell, and Su Mei feels that as long as Huo Jianguo can really do what he said and always treat her well, then there will be a day when she will completely trust him.
She is not the kind of person who is willing to give up everything easily, but she is definitely not a heartless person.
If Huo Jianguo can stay with her forever, then Su Mei can definitely stay with her through life and death.
The two of them snuggled up to each other, rubbing their ears and cheeks together, and in the burning warmth of their skin, they ushered in a second night of love...
I don't know how much time passed before they both fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when the morning light hit the window sill, Su Mei opened her eyes tiredly. When she raised her watch to check the time, she found that Huo Jianguo had already woken up.
He looked at her with bright eyes, full of energy.
It's not just tired cows.
There is no uncultivated field?
How come when she is here, she is exhausted, but he has endless energy.
Huo Jianguo seemed to see the doubt in Su Mei's heart. He looked at her with a frown: "Did this night leave a deep impression on you?"
"Deep." Too deep.
Deep and thorough.
Tired, Su Mei climbed out of bed and said, "Hurry up, or I'll be late for work. The clinic must be busy these days. I'm afraid if I'm late, Master won't be able to come."
"No, there's still time. I've already gotten up, boiled the water for washing your face, and steamed the steamed buns. You just need to eat a bite, and then we can go to the military area!"
"You've already gotten up, how come I didn't know?"
"You must have been exhausted last night because of you!" Huo Jianguo let out an extremely wanton smile.
