Chapter 25 No Radio, I'll Sing for You

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Song Qinian asked Bai Wei softly while driving.

He is a well-known military leader in the army. Who dares to yell at him so loudly?

But facing Bai Wei, Song Qinian's eyes were filled with only doting, without a trace of displeasure.

Huang Siyu was a little dumbfounded. Was this still the cold-blooded Song Qinian that she knew?

"Look at the list you wrote!"

Bai Wei poked the notebook with a pen and frowned as he read, "A double-door wardrobe, a mahogany double bed, a desk, a dining table, and four chairs, folding chairs!"

"All these things together would cost at least three or four hundred yuan."

Huang Siyu said in a low voice.

Three or four hundred?!

Bai Wei's heart started pounding when he heard the price. This was the 1970s, and three or four hundred yuan was already a huge sum of money.

"Our home must have the best furniture. We can't let you down."

As soon as Song Qinian finished speaking, Bai Wei shook his head vigorously, pointed at the notebook and continued speaking.

"What about this bicycle, sewing machine, watch, and radio? These four things are definitely not cheap!"

Even though Bai Wei wasn't very clear about prices, he knew that these things were top luxury items of this era!

"If others have these three turns and one sound, you must have them too."

Song Qinian didn't want to let Bai Wei down at all.

She gave her body to him, so he should be responsible for her.

"Stop making such noises. I don't want us to be broke after we get married!"

Bai Wei blew on the tip of the pen and crossed out all the items on the list written by Song Qinian in the notebook.

"Hey, don't scratch it off."

Song Qinian was anxious.

Bai Wei said as she planned, "I can make this closet and dining table myself! Let's not waste the money. I can't ride a bike, and I can't use a sewing machine. As for the radio, it's just for listening to songs. If you want to listen, I'll sing for you!"

"Can you sing?"

Huang Siyu asked curiously.

Song Qinian also turned his head and looked at Bai Wei.

Bai smiled slightly, cleared his throat, and sang loudly.

"A small bamboo raft floats in the middle of the river/The mighty river flows eastward.

The red star shines brightly/lighting me to fight."

Her voice was clear, loud and penetrating, and coupled with her little face as red as an apple, she really looked like a high-spirited female soldier. Huang Siyu was shocked by the sight and subconsciously hummed along with her.

"Smash the evil old world, and make the vast land embroidered with brocade, the vast land embroidered with brocade!"

As Bai Wei finished singing the song, Huang Siyu couldn't help but applaud.

"Bai Wei, you sing so beautifully! Even better than the people in the art troupe!"

When the art troupe was mentioned, Huang Siyu's face froze for a moment and she looked up at Song Qinian.

Her glance happened to fall into Song Qinian's sight, and they both turned their heads away tacitly.

"How about Song Qinian? You sing well, don't you? What kind of radio do you need? Just choose any song you want to listen to! I'll sing it for you!"

In her previous life, Bai Wei was an ultimate microphone master. She had a strong sense of music and could learn any song after listening to it once.

"You sing better than the radio. I'll listen to you."

Song Qinian smiled. He didn't expect that his cute little wife was a singer.

"Then I will cross out the radio."

Bai Wei picked up a pen and crossed out the radio.

She crossed out all the items on the full page of the list in her notebook, but the sharp-eyed Song Qinian noticed that there was one thing that was not crossed out.

"This watch is not scratched. Can I buy it?"

Song Qinian had a watch coupon in his pocket, which was just enough to buy a watch for Bai Wei.

"Well! I still have to buy a watch!"

Bai smiled and nodded vigorously. He still had to buy the watch and the expense was affordable.

"We can't just go to the county seat to buy watches, right?"

Song Qinian looked at Bai Wei helplessly. For this purchase, he even brought his passbook with him.

"Of course I have to buy other things!"

Bai Wei quickly wrote in his notebook.

Enamel basins, thermos bottles, pots, pans, etc., all are daily household items. She wrote down everything she could think of.

"Oh, and there's wedding candy..."

Song Qinian gave a reminder.

Bai Wei shook her head, "The candy is too expensive, I can't get it! Don't worry, I will take care of the wedding candy!"

The wild walnuts she brought back from the mountains came in handy.

If you bake it with honey, it will be sweet and can be used as wedding candy, saving you money.

Song Qinian looked at Bai Wei's careful calculation and suddenly realized that he seemed to have married a little abacus as his wife.

But Song Qinian didn't know that in his previous life, Bai Wei had lived with his grandfather since his parents passed away. He was very frugal and was willing to spend every penny carefully.

Song Qinian drove very steadily. Bai Wei and Huang Siyu didn't feel any shaking on the bumpy dirt road. After driving for more than 30 minutes, they arrived at the county town.

The car drove all the way to the department store in the county. When people saw that it was a military vehicle, they consciously made way for it and watched Song Qinian get out of the car. He, wearing a military uniform, walked to the co-pilot seat and opened the door for Bai Wei.

"Such a high-ranking military officer opened the door himself. Could he be a great leader?"

People around were talking about it.

"Bai Wei, I'm going to the post office to mail something..."

Huang Siyu got out of the car, patted the military bag, and said to Bai Wei.

"I have to go to the bank as well, Comrade Huang Siyu, we are on the same route, let's go together."

Song Qinian looked at Huang Siyu and said.

Huang Siyu frowned and was about to refuse, but Song Qinian turned to Bai Wei and pointed to the department store in front of them.

"I'll go get the money first. You go to the department store and look around. Pick out the things you like and I'll pay."

"good."

Bai Wei nodded and looked at the department store in front of him with interest, completely unaware of Huang Siyu who was standing beside him, clutching her hands, biting her lips, and looking a little restless.

"Comrade Huang Siyu, let's go."

Song Qinian walked up to Huang Siyu and waved to her.

Huang Siyu glanced at Bai Wei, but Bai Wei's eyes were attracted by the state-owned barber shop on the right side of the department store.

"Song Qinian, I'm going to the barber shop to get a haircut. I'll wait for you there."

Bai Wei spoke to Song Qinian in a crisp voice, the light in his eyes as bright as stars.

"good."

Song Qinian didn't care and just nodded.

"Comrade Huang Siyu, see you later!"

Bai smiled and waved at Huang Siyu, then skipped towards the barber shop.

She came to the county town this time just to find a barber shop. She was so lucky.

Song Qinian watched Bai Wei leave with a doting smile on his face until she entered the barber shop. He turned around and his smile stopped abruptly. He looked at Huang Siyu with a cold look in his eyes.

"Comrade Huang Siyu, I hope Weiwei won't know about the past from you."
