Chapter 22 is exceptionally confident
After returning home, the two children couldn't wait to go to their room to try on their new clothes.
Huo Zheng called Lu Mingyue to the bedroom, took out a box from under the cabinet and handed it to her. This was his savings over the years.
“My monthly salary is 150 yuan, not including various receipts. Sometimes there are additional bonuses for completing tasks.”
“I don’t smoke or drink normally, and I only occasionally have some social interactions with my comrades. I don’t need much money each month, so just give me some money to spend.”
Lu Mingyue opened the box and exclaimed, "Wow! So much money! I'm going to be rich!"
She counted it and found she had over two thousand yuan. At current prices, she was definitely a little rich girl.
Of course, this money was earned by Huo Zheng through countless dangers; she was merely temporarily holding onto it for him.
She wouldn't have any other thoughts; she's not short of money, so why would she do something so unscrupulous?
"So you'll get ten yuan a month?"
Lu Mingyue asked tentatively.
My satisfaction with Huo Zheng has reached a new level. He deserves praise as a good man who neither smokes nor drinks.
[Host, isn't the man I chose for you great? Marry such a good man!]
The system was smug, feeling that it had played a part in the two people's initial meeting.
Lu Mingyue helplessly shrugged. "That was just luck. Don't try to make yourself look good."
Hearing Lu Mingyue's argument with the system, Huo Zheng's lips curled up slightly. He never expected to be so popular one day.
In fact, Huo Zheng's conditions were considered very good in the military.
The family is well-off; both parents have stable jobs and won't be a burden on their child. They can even lend a hand.
Huo Zheng himself is very outstanding. He has become the commander of the regiment at a young age. Given his current rate of advancement, it is not impossible for him to become the top leader in the future.
Everyone knows the truth about the two children's background.
Even though they are Huo Zheng's biological children, this bachelor with two kids has quite a few female admirers.
Therefore, people in the family compound were very curious about Lu Mingyue's identity. Gossipy people inquired about her family background openly and secretly, but apart from the leaders, no one knew her origins.
Holding the money Huo Zheng gave her, Lu Mingyue felt exceptionally confident.
No matter what, it's all part of their family, and it's not surprising that she, as one of them, would have such fantasies.
"I'll do the job for the money." Lu Mingyue patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the family."
Having a painless pregnancy and still having money to spend, Lu Mingyue felt that life was more hopeful.
Huo Zheng smiled and said, "Comrade Lu, I'll be relying on you from now on."
"No trouble at all."
Lu Mingyue was overjoyed; she certainly didn't find it troublesome.
Looking at the genuine smile on her face, Huo Zheng was also unconsciously infected by her emotions.
Others would run far away at the sight of a divorced older man like him, just like Meng Xiaoling, who wished she could kick him away.
She was the only one who felt happy about marrying him.
"By the way, we don't need to stay together tonight, right?"
Since it concerned her right to sleep in the king-size bed, Lu Mingyue confirmed it again.
The two of them didn't discuss this issue much on their way here.
After all, it's rather strange for a married couple to say they sleep in separate beds in public.
"There are five rooms in the house. Each of the two children will have their own room, and you can choose any of the remaining rooms you like."
The houses in the family compound do not belong to individuals; they are somewhat like family dormitories. People leave in batches, and then another batch fills the gap.
When Huo Zheng moved into this house with his two children, the walls were completely black.
He put in a lot of effort to make the walls look brand new. The rooms in the house only had a simple treatment and a layer of putty applied. Even after so many years, they still look like new.
The furniture in the room was all new, and it looked like it had just been prepared. It must have been made by someone before Huo Zheng left.
One advantage of this type of room is that the owner can decorate it simply according to their mood.
"By the way, our marriage application has been approved. If we have time tomorrow, can we go to the county town to get our marriage certificate?"
When he said this, Huo Zheng felt a little uneasy, as their encounter was completely different from that of other people.
Lu Mingyue agreed to go with him to a place thousands of miles away, and Huo Zheng had already regarded her as his true wife in his heart.
He was willing to respect Lu Mingyue's idea of not interfering with each other.
"county seat?"
Huo Zheng nodded, "The island isn't just about the family compound and the nearby villagers. There's also a fairly large county town on the island. Sometimes when people don't want to go to the sea market, they go there to buy things."
For the island's residents, the journey to leave the island is not only long, but also depends on the whims of the weather.
If the sun is shining and the road is clear, we can reach the coast quickly.
If you get caught in a storm, you could be stranded in Haishi for three to five days.
Therefore, this small county town on the island is particularly important, as it can meet the daily needs of the people and ensure their safety.
Lu Mingyue nodded, "Okay."
"We can also buy the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a ring, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio) for the wedding in the county town."
She couldn't be without what everyone else had.
The two were aiming to build a life together, and Huo Zheng didn't want to mistreat her in front of others because of these things.
"Mommy~"
The little girl's sweet, childlike voice came from inside. Lu Mingyue opened the door, and a little bundle of joy jumped onto her.
Lu Mingyue was not prepared, and her whole body fell backward uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a strong body pressed against her back, and Lu Mingyue could even feel the shape of the other person's muscles.
Huo Zheng scooped his daughter up and held her in his arms, patiently telling her that she shouldn't do such dangerous things in the future, as the two of them almost fell just now.
Yao Yao was still immersed in the joy of being airborne and did not notice the danger in her father's tone at all.
Huo Zheng rubbed his forehead. A three-year-old child wouldn't understand if he talked to her too much.
Huo Zheng has always been very concerned about this safety issue.
Slowing down, she repeated it to her daughter again. Only then did Yao Yao realize how dangerous her actions had been, almost causing her mother to fall.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
The little girl apologized sincerely, her round eyes full of concern.
She kicked her calves, struggled to get down, and hugged Lu Mingyue's legs to check if she was injured.
She puffed out her cheeks and gently blew on the spot where she had been hit, saying, "Yaoyao, blow on it for Mommy, and Mommy won't feel pain anymore."
Lu Mingyue: [Aaaaaah!!]
Whose child is this, so well-behaved and sensible? It's hers!
After all that, Lu Mingyue couldn't remember what had just happened; all she could think about was the adorable little Yao Yao.
"Good boy, Mommy's okay, let's go eat some chicken cake."
When purchasing supplies from the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Mingyue prepared a lot of snacks for her family.
