Chapter 17

"All right."

The old teacher was very sorry, but he also expressed his understanding that he did not realize that the photos of the soldiers had to be kept confidential.

When Lu Huaijing arrived, he caught a glimpse of the old master's lost look. Although he was very confused, he did not ask.

After leaving the photo studio, Tang Wan told him the whole story and finally showed him the photos.

"Although I know that we are good-looking, my identity is special, so I rejected him."

“You did the right thing.”

Lu Huaijing gently stroked the two people in the photo with his fingertips, and his mood was rarely as sunny as it was in the past.

His wife is so beautiful, he doesn't want to be seen by so many people.

"I thought you were going to say I'm a fool not to have money."

Tang Wan chuckled, and Lu Huaijing's lips curled up with joy. "No, I will work hard to make money."

He then noticed that Tang Wan was holding a cloth bag in her hand, "What is this?"

"I just met a lady when I went to the restroom."

Tang Wan lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "She and I exchanged the quilt cover and bed sheet."

Lu Huaijing is a soldier, and Tang Wan is also testing his attitude towards exchanging things privately.

After all, in many of the novels she had read before, people like him might not approve of her "speculation and profiteering".

She had money and tickets, and had no intention of going to the black market to "do big things", but she would occasionally take things out of the space.

Many things were not available at the supply and marketing cooperatives, so she could only make the excuse that she bought them on the "black market."

If he disagreed, she would have to be more careful.

"You were not seen exchanging things with her, were you?"

Lu Huaijing quickly took the cloth bag from her hand and asked her to jump on the bicycle, fearing that someone would see Tang Wan's face.

"No, I'm being careful."

Tang Wan was in a good mood after getting a satisfactory answer, and rode her bicycle along the street to leave the town.

Lu Huaijing then stopped his bike and said to Tang Wan, "You are really brave.

What if the Red Guards see you and accuse you of speculation?"

His tone was full of worry, but not accusatory.

"So you don't like this?"

Tang Wan opened the cloth bag and took out the wedding quilt to show Lu Huaijing. There was a satin area on the quilt that felt particularly silky.

"like."

When he thought about the fact that they would spend their wedding night together in such a silky quilt tomorrow, even a rough guy like Lu Huaijing couldn't help but blush.

"Just like it."

Tang Wan blinked her eyes slyly, "Other things can be compromised, but the things you need to sleep on at night cannot be compromised."

"yes."

Afraid of upsetting her, Lu Huaijing suddenly took out a small box from his cloth bag and handed it to Tang Wan.

"Hmm, what is this?"

Tang Wan took the box and opened it naturally. When she saw the gold ring inside the box, she was so scared that she quickly closed the box and stuffed it into her cloth bag.

Inside was not only a pair of gold rings, but also a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets.

In this era, we must keep these things well hidden.

"Do you like it?"

When Lu Huaijing caught a glimpse of her surprised yet happy expression, he knew that he had made the right choice by giving her the gold jewelry.

It seems his mother was right, women have no resistance to jewelry.

"Of course I do."

Tang Wan's eyes curved as she smiled. This was a genuine happiness from the bottom of her heart. She was such a vulgar person.

I like gold, silver, treasures and all shiny things.

She carefully put the small box away, actually making room for it. "Did you just buy this?"

"Well, I called someone I know."

Lu Huaijing rode his bicycle to Shiping Brigade. Tang Wan sat behind him and gently poked him on the back, whispering:

"It's not that quick to make jewelry."

He was calling for his wife, so he would have delivered it regardless of whether the person was her or not.

Somehow, she suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.

"That's my brother's relative. Yesterday when you were resting, I asked my brother to call his relative in advance.

I just went to get the finished product. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can make changes on the spot. "

Lu Huaijing was not angry and patiently explained, "The gold was obtained from my previous missions."

When they captured spies, they obtained a lot of gold, silver and treasures, and their superiors would occasionally reward them with some.

"oh."

Perhaps Tang Wan herself didn't realize that the corners of her mouth were curled up wildly.

She had moved so many gold and silver treasures into the space, but none of them pleased her as much as the jewelry that Lu Huaijing had specially made for her.

In later times, people required three golds for marriage, while in this era, they required three turns and one ring. He even gave the full amount of betrothal gifts.

This man is worth marrying!

Tang Wan touched the bicycle seat with her hands and lifted it up gently. She was too embarrassed to hug Lu Huaijing's waist.

Just be careful to pull at one corner of him.

suddenly……

Passing a big pothole, the bicycle bumped a bit, and Tang Wan leaned forward by inertia.

She subconsciously hugged Lu Huaijing's strong waist with both hands.

Bang, bang, bang…

Her heart was racing like crazy, and Tang Wan was somewhat thankful that Lu Huaijing didn't see her blushing face.

However, he didn't know that the tips of Lu Huaijing's ears were red, and he exerted a little force with his big hands holding the handlebars of the bicycle.

The slender body touched his back and he became completely stiff.

“Almost there.”

Lu Huaijing felt his mouth was a little dry, sparks flew from pedaling his bicycle, and he felt full of energy.

Fortunately, they arrived at Shiping Brigade very quickly, and everyone working in the fields couldn't help but look over at them.

Seeing their bicycles full of bags, everyone's eyes turned red with envy.

"Cuihua, the third son's wife is much happier than you. You didn't have so many things when you got married."

Someone said this, but Li Cuihua, who was applying fertilizer with her head down, suddenly raised her head.

At a glance, you can see Lu Huaijing not far away. The bicycle is fully loaded with goods, which must have cost a lot of money.

Li Cuihua was so angry, "The third brother has a high allowance and is willing to pamper his wife. He is a big mouth, and it's none of your business!"

"Hey, I'm doing this for your own good and you're scolding me. You don't know how kind people are."

Tang Wan didn't know that their passing by could cause a conflict. When they were almost at the door of their home, Lu Huaijing was stopped by someone.

"Brother Jing, the captain wants to see you."

"Wife, this is my brother Xiangdong, you go back first."

Lu Huaijing said to the visitor, "Xiangdong, send your sister-in-law home first, and then return the bicycle to your cousin's house."

Lu Huaijing borrowed this bicycle from Lu Xiangdong's cousin's house yesterday, so it's okay for him to return it.

"Don't worry, Brother Jing."

Lu Xiangdong smiled at Tang Wan in a friendly manner, "Sister-in-law, I grew up with Brother Jing since childhood. If you have any problem, just call me."

"Okay, thank you."

Tang Wan looked at Lu Huaijing's back and thought of Lu Hongying whom she met in the town today. She probably guessed why the captain was looking for Lu Huaijing.

I just don't know if this captain will give up his principles because of his daughter.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan walked towards Lu's house in a low mood, with Lu Xiangdong pushing her bicycle from behind.

The door was not closed tightly. As Tang Wan walked to the door, she vaguely heard the sound of a child crying in the yard.

Thinking of Tang Zhou, Tang Wan became anxious and rushed over without thinking too much.

But what she saw left her dumbfounded!
