Chapter 5: Forgot to Prepare Wedding Candy



The memories she received in her mind were only the plot of the book and Jiang Yue's daily life; there was nothing mentioned in the book.

"This was my fault. I'll buy the furniture back in the next couple of days."

Jiang Yue said with a smile.

Upon hearing her say that she would buy all the furniture, Lu Jingnian's eyes twitched, and his expression turned somewhat strange.

"Let me heat up your food first, you eat first. There's no rush to buy furniture, I'll buy it when I have time."

As Lu Jingnian spoke, he took the lunchbox and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Yue's family is well-off. Her grandfather and father were both military officers, her grandmother was a lady from a prominent family, and her mother is a university professor. Her family must have secretly given her a lot of money for her wedding.

As Jiang Yue ate the food that Lu Jingnian had heated up, she thought about how to find out where she had put all that money.

Just then, Lu Jingnian went to the bedroom, took out a bankbook, and handed it to Jiang Yue.

"This is my savings. After deducting the dowry for you, this is all that's left. You can use it for now. I'll figure out the furniture. Don't worry about it."

Every deposit and withdrawal in the passbook is recorded very clearly. The more than two thousand yuan withdrawn recently should be the betrothal gift that Lu Jingnian gave to Jiang Yue.

There's less than two hundred yuan left in my savings account.

Lu Jingnian has only been in the army for a few years. His previous allowance was only a few dozen yuan a month. He was promoted to battalion commander this year, so his allowance is only a little over a hundred yuan.

The majority of the money Lu Jingnian was able to save came from his bonuses, and winning bonuses absolutely required risking one's life.

This is money that Lu Jingnian risked his life to earn; how could she dare to spend it recklessly?

"No need, I have money. The dowry you gave me, plus the money my grandma and parents gave me, is enough for me. I'll buy the furniture."

Lu Jingnian gave Jiang Yue more than 2,000 yuan, and the Jiang family should have given Jiang Yue a lot as well. Even if we calculate it a little less, Jiang Yue should have more than 5,000 yuan in savings now, right?

"Didn't you use all your money to buy Pei Hengzhi a motorcycle? Where do you have any money left?"

Lu Jingnian asked in a deep voice.

"puff!"

Jiang Yue spat out the porridge in her mouth.

I'm sorry, she really couldn't help herself.

"Cough cough cough..."

The rice grains got stuck in Jiang Yue's trachea, and she coughed violently until her face turned red. She looked at Lu Jingnian, who was patting her back, with teary eyes. Why wasn't this part written in the book?

How many holes are in Jiang Yue's brain? She actually spent so much money to buy gifts for Pei Hengzhi?

Moreover, Pei Hengzhi doesn't like Jiang Yue, so why would he accept such an expensive gift from her?

Jiang Yue coughed for several minutes before she recovered, feeling so heartbroken she almost fainted.

No, she has to get that motorcycle back.

Jiang Yue is willing to spend money on men, but only if they are men she likes, like Lu Jingnian. She doesn't feel like she's losing out no matter how much she spends. But what kind of person is Pei Hengzhi?

After Jiang Yue finished eating, Lu Jingnian picked up the lunchbox and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Jiang Yue wanted to wash herself, but Lu Jingnian refused and locked her out of the kitchen.

After washing the lunchbox, Lu Jingnian came out of the kitchen and said to Jiang Yue:

"I'm going to the military base now. If you need anything, go to the guard post and find the soldiers there. They will let me know."

I'll have someone bring you lunch, and I'll cook dinner when I get back.

"If you're hungry, there are some biscuits in the kitchen cabinet. You can eat some first. I've also boiled some water; it's in the thermos. Be careful when you pour it out so you don't burn your hands..."

These were all things that Grandma Jiang had told him before the wedding. Grandma Jiang said that Jiang Yue had been pampered at home since she was a child and had never been allowed to do any work, not even enter the kitchen. Grandma Jiang repeatedly told Lu Jingnian to take good care of Jiang Yue.

After Lu Jingnian finished speaking, he still looked at Jiang Yue with some unease. He was originally entitled to wedding leave, but Jiang Yue wouldn't allow him to stay at home and refused to let him take leave before the wedding.

"I've got it."

Jiang Yue walked over and kissed Lu Jingnian hard on the cheek. "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You take good care of yourself too. I'll wait for you to come back so we can have dinner together."

Just what kind of exceptionally good man is Lu Jingnian?

Although she lost 30 million, Jiang Yue felt that she had found a treasure even more important than 30 million.

"good!"

Lu Jingnian nodded, picked up his hat, and walked out the door with his back straight.

Jiang Yue watched his retreating figure, a smile almost overflowing in her eyes. Did this man even realize how funny he looked when he spoke with a cold, serious expression? Haha…

After Lu Jingnian left, Jiang Yue rubbed her aching back. Just as she was about to do something, she suddenly slapped her forehead and remembered something important: Lu Jingnian hadn't taken the wedding candy when he left.

In the novel, on the second day of his marriage, Lu Jingnian was stabbed, but the wound was not deep. Afraid that people would know that Jiang Yue was the one who did it, he did not go to the clinic for bandaging. Instead, he treated the wound simply at home and went to the army as if nothing had happened.

He didn't bring any wedding candy when he went, because Jiang Yue thought he was embarrassing and wouldn't let him buy any.

Later in the story, when Jiang Yue chased Pei Hengzhi to a party, Pei Hengzhi used this incident to lecture Jiang Yue, asking her if she knew that Lu Jingnian had been secretly mocked for a long time because of the wedding candy incident.

She absolutely couldn't let Lu Jingnian be ridiculed. Jiang Yue took the savings Lu Jingnian had given her and ran to the bedroom. Just as she expected, her things were in the bedroom closet. Inside the closet was a woman's genuine leather bag, which was obviously Jiang Yue's. Jiang Yue put the savings in there and took out fifty yuan from the bag.

In those days, an average worker's monthly salary was only fifty yuan, and the purchasing power of fifty yuan was quite impressive.

Because Pei Hengzhi was also in this unit, which was described in great detail in the book, Jiang Yue knew there was a small shop here. She ran out with her bag, but Lu Jingnian was no longer in sight, so she ran to the shop as fast as she could.

The small shop mainly sells daily necessities for the soldiers, as well as some snacks like sunflower seeds.

Jiang Yue rushed in, panting, and asked the woman in the floral top sitting behind the counter, "Sister Zhang, do you have any candy?"

"Oh, is this Battalion Commander Lu's wife?"

Yesterday, at Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue's wedding, Company Commander Zhang and his wife also attended.

However, they were far apart at the time, and Jiang Yue didn't toast them one by one. She only saw their faces and knew that the wife that Battalion Commander Lu married was really beautiful. She looked like a person who had walked out of a painting when she wore her wedding dress.

Zhang's wife is the wife of Company Commander Zhang in the battalion. She is slightly plump, always smiling when she speaks, and is known for her kindness and good temper.

"It's me, my name is Jiang Yue, you can just call me Jiang Yue, do you have any candy here?"

This is my first wedding, and I forgot to prepare wedding candy.

Jiang Yue was beautiful, and her somewhat self-reproachful and annoyed expression made Zhang's wife smile. She felt that this Battalion Commander Lu's wife was not as vicious and mean as rumored. This pretty young girl was much cuter than her own sons.
