Yu Jiu opened the smaller envelope, which contained a stack of grain coupons, meat coupons, and snack coupons—everything one could need. The other envelope contained a thick wad of money; Yu Jiu roughly counted it and estimated it to be about five hundred yuan.
"As expected, the big boss is very generous."
Yu Jiu was delighted. The two baskets contained exactly the same items, including the same amount of money and tickets. This meant that the two of them received an extra thousand yuan in income, along with various receipts. Such a generous reward really made people feel that doing good deeds was indeed the right thing to do. Yu Jiu couldn't wait to do another great good deed right now, and then the money would come from all directions.
Xu Zijiang wasn't interested in the money; he was more concerned about something else.
"Won't you be very tired working at the department store? I want you to stay home with me."
As soon as he got home, Xu Zijiang hugged Yu Jiu's slender waist with a pitiful expression. He had finally looked forward to getting married and wanted to stay at home with his wife every day, making love and having sex. But his wife was assigned a job and had to go to work. How could he make a living from now on?
"You've been to a department store before, have you seen what the sales clerks there do? When there's no one around, they can just sit there. It's okay, I'm not tired, don't worry about me."
Yu Jiu pushed away his large head that was leaning in, trying to figure out how to spend the money while simultaneously dealing with him. Adding the profit from the watch she sold last time, and their savings, the family now had a total of…
"Then I won't be able to see you during the day either."
Xu Zijiang cupped Yu Jiu's little face in his hands and continued to pester her, his voice sounding aggrieved.
"Oh, I'll be back for lunch, and I'll be back after work this afternoon. You'll have plenty of time to see me, don't worry. Besides, you're not free during the day anyway, you have your own things to do, right? We're both adults, Captain Xu, don't be so clingy, okay~~~"
Yu Jiu patted his head again and coaxed him.
Adults should focus on their careers! That was the decision. Comrade Xu Zijiang's objections were ignored. The next day, Zhou Chunrong came to inform Yu Jiu that her work had been arranged and she could start work at any time.
"Can I take two days off? It'll be a perfect weekend, and I'll report back on Monday after I've rested for a few days."
It wasn't that Yu Jiu wanted to be lazy; it was that Xu Zijiang had been staring at her resentfully all night and refused to sleep, so Yu Jiu had no choice but to agree to stay with him for a few days before going to work.
"Sure, do whatever is convenient for you. Just go to the counter on the second floor that sells skincare products for women. As long as you show your name, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. The manager has already arranged everything for you."
Zhou Chunrong nodded with a smile. He still couldn't believe that these two were so bold. It was one thing for Xu Zi to be reckless when he was alone, but how could he be so reckless with his wife by his side? He even went straight to the capital to file a complaint. Luckily, he succeeded. If he hadn't, these two wouldn't be holding a flag now, but probably a funeral shroud.
"Okay, thank you for making this trip for us, Brother Zhou. Please take these two packages back to your wife to help her replenish her qi and blood."
Yu Jiu took out a packet of dried red dates and brown sugar, gesturing for Zhou Chunrong to take it back, but Zhou Chunrong waved her hands repeatedly to avoid it.
"Why are you giving me this? I don't want it, I have some at home!"
"Brother Zhou, why are you being so polite with us? Besides, this is for your wife, not for you. Take it quickly. The things the boss gave us yesterday were all in double portions. We can't finish them all anyway. Take it now, or I'll have Xu Zijiang deliver it to our door another day."
Yu Jiu forcefully shoved the things into his arms.
Xu Zijiang also chimed in lazily from the side.
"Just take it. After all, he is our elder. He attended the wedding on our behalf when elders were needed. This is our way of showing respect to you as your juniors, not a bribe. Just take it."
"Alright, I'll take it then. You shouldn't just stick to your wife all the time. I know you're newly married and full of energy, but the double harvest season is coming up in a few days. Be careful and don't make any mistakes. I don't know if the last flood caused any damage to the rice. If the yield is reduced, you'll have a lot to worry about."
Before leaving, Zhou Chunrong couldn't help but give him a few more instructions. Xu Zijiang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood; he knew what was going on in the fields and that nothing serious would happen.
He was always reliable, so Zhou Chunrong didn't lecture him much and went back to the commune to attend to his own business. As soon as Zhou Chunrong left, Xu Zijiang seized the opportunity to stick close to him again.
"Wife, since we still have four days, why don't we..."
Xu Zijiang's fingertips slipped inside Yu Jiu's clothes, and he suggestively caressed Yu Jiu's fair and slender waist. What he was thinking couldn't be clearer.
Because of his extraordinary performance on their wedding night, Yu Jiu had to lie in bed for three days to recover. Last night, he was busy throwing a tantrum and trying to get Yu Jiu to coax him, so naturally, there was no time for any nighttime activities.
Now that Yu Jiu had finally agreed to give him a few more days off, Xu Zijiang started to get distracted again. To appease this resentful husband, Yu Jiu blushed and whispered.
"Okay, how about tonight?"
If she feeds him well these few days, she can go to work with peace of mind, so he won't cling to her every day.
"It's too late tonight, I can't wait."
Xu Zijiang, shameless as ever, grabbed Yu Jiu's delicate chin and kissed her forcefully. The two embraced in the courtyard, and soon Xu Zijiang became aroused again. While Yu Jiu was lost in passion and oxygen deprivation, her reactions slowed, she suddenly felt a chill on her upper body.
Yu Jiu pushed him away in surprise.
"What are you doing? Xu Zijiang, are you crazy? It's broad daylight, and we're in the yard!"
"What does it matter? Everyone's at work at this hour. Besides, we've closed the door. As long as you're careful, no one will hear you."
Xu Zijiang said matter-of-factly that since getting married, he no longer tried to hide his beastly nature, and his lewdness became more and more obvious.
He kissed her again as he spoke, and Yu Jiu weakly pushed him away a few times. She couldn't help but ask.
"Is it really now?"
As a young girl, she really couldn't understand Xu Zijiang's eagerness.
"Really, honey, this is when men are most impulsive."
Xu Zijiang emphasized this solemnly.
"Okay, okay."
Yu Jiu had never been able to handle Xu Zijiang. Before marriage, she couldn't resist his charming and persistent advances, and after marriage, she was even less able to resist. Her heart softened, and she began to cooperate.
Blue sky, white clouds, and golden sunshine shone down on the two of them, with clothes scattered all around them.
In this drafty courtyard, Yu Jiu, feeling insecure, clung even tighter to Xu Zijiang. Xu Zijiang grew increasingly excited, but Yu Jiu, oblivious to everything else, clung desperately to the man's neck, lest she slip to the ground.
·······
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Zijiang finally felt satisfied and took the remaining wine to take a bath.
These past few days, Yu Jiu has been fully satisfying Xu Zijiang's various hobbies, and Xu Zijiang is in a great mood. So, on Yu Jiu's first day of work, Xu Zijiang personally took her there.
When they arrived at the department store, the moment they uttered the name Yu Jiu, the entire department store was in an uproar!
