Xu Zhaodi said, "It's not good to always ride someone else's bike, right?"
"What's wrong with that? I have a good relationship with him. You can ride it first. I'll save up money for a few months and buy it for you."
Chen Jianguo spoke seriously, and his words floated lightly into Xu Zhaodi's heart, making her feel extremely warm.
A 28-inch straight-bar bicycle costs at least 170 or 180 yuan, which not only costs half a year's salary, but it is also extremely difficult to buy.
Xu Zhaodi asked tentatively: "Do you really want to buy it?"
"Real is real, how can it be fake?"
"Forget it, it's too expensive."
"It's too expensive. It depends on what you buy and whether it's convenient for you to commute to get off work."
Xu Zhaodi just listened and had no intention of buying anything. After the two of them finished their meal, Chen Jianguo wanted to wash the dishes, and Xu Zhaodi said, "Help me water the vegetables, and I'll wash them."
Chen Jianguo responded and went downstairs carrying the bucket.
After Xu Zhaodi cleaned the kitchen and fed the chickens, she used old clothes as a mop to clean the cement floor, making the house look comfortable.
Chen Jianguo also came back after watering the vegetables.
Xu Zhaodi took out a small account book from her room and said, "Come here and sign your name in the book."
Chen Jianguo put down the bucket in his hand in confusion and walked towards Xu Zhaodi.
"Sign what?"
"This is the money I earned today from the street. I earned four dollars in total. From now on I will have a salary. I want to keep a clear account of the family so that both of us know.
I know you will be unhappy if I do this, because you are the only one who earns the money, and we share it together.
I was messy before, but now I want to set the record straight.”
Life starts with the details. Even if you have money, you should still be frugal.
Chen Jianguo's eyes fell on the notebook, brows furrowed, and she really started to keep accounts.
"I won't sign it, the money is earned by me alone, but the family belongs to both of us.
You are my wife, so I should support you.
Don’t do these things in the future, there is no point.”
He admired her frank attitude, but he couldn't accept that the couple had to plan their lives so clearly.
Chen Jianguo was a little angry. Without even looking at the notebook, he carried the bucket into the kitchen.
Is he angry?
Wanting to leave early tomorrow morning, she boiled two eggs.
She came to the living room. The door of Chen Jianguo's room was open. From this angle, he should be reading a book.
"I will leave early tomorrow morning and won't make breakfast. I boiled some eggs, so remember to eat one."
Chen Jianguo was a little absent-minded and couldn't concentrate on the book in his hand.
He answered and heard the door of Xu Zhaodi's room close.
He tilted his head to take a peek and saw that the door was indeed closed.
For some reason, the more Xu Zhaodi changed, the more worried he became.
It's not dark yet, so I'd better take her downstairs to learn how to ride a bike.
Chen Jianguo knocked on Xu Zhaodi's door and said, "Don't go to sleep yet. I'll take you downstairs to learn how to ride a bicycle."
Xu Zhaodi wanted to rest early, but she heard the sound of a door closing in the living room. The other person had already gone out.
Xu Zhaodi had no choice but to follow him downstairs.
Chen Jianguo went to Zhang Qingdong to get his bicycle. Zhang Qingdong was shirtless at the moment, doing sit-ups on a blanket spread on the floor.
When Zhang Qingdong heard that he borrowed a car, he said distressedly: "Why did you borrow a car? Where are you going at this time?"
"Your sister-in-law has to go to work tomorrow. I will teach her how to ride a bike and buy her one when she learns."
Zhang Qingdong grabbed the towel on the table and wiped his sweat. Chen Jianguo glanced at his ten-pack abs and said, "Shouldn't you go back to the team and sleep? Being single is a waste of military resources."
When Zhang Qingdong heard this, he was afraid that this guy would mention this girl in front of the committee, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, brother... don't say anything, just take it away.
Sister-in-law, you can ride it however you want. From now on, you can treat this bike as your own."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "I can't control you, little guy."
Chen Jianguo carried the bicycle downstairs. Xu Zhaodi had been waiting downstairs for a while.
There were a lot of people in the yard after dinner, and after dinner, we had nothing to do so we just chatted downstairs.
Chen Jianguo walked up to Xu Zhaodi, put the bicycle on his shoulder in front of him, and patted the seat.
"Come up, I'll help you."
The women who were chatting nearby had no idea what the couple was up to and all looked over here.
"What are they doing?"
"I don't know, let's see..."
Everyone was smiling and waiting to see what they were going to do. Xu Zhaodi didn't know how to ride a bike, and she was afraid that she might accidentally fall off and be laughed at, which would be really embarrassing.
Xu Zhaodi felt a little embarrassed. She reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Chen Jianguo's clothes.
"Let's go back."
This was the first time the two had close contact, and Chen Jianguo was a little slow and didn't come to his senses for a while.
"What are you going to do? I've already carried the bicycle."
Xu Zhaodi was afraid that people would hear and laugh at her. With so many eyes staring at her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
"I don't want to learn."
Chen Jianguo noticed that Xu Zhaodi's voice had become quieter, and he looked around before reacting.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go to the playground in front. There's no one there right now."
"Really?"
"Really?"
Xu Zhaodi stood next to Chen Jianguo. Several middle-aged women in the compound hadn't seen Xu Zhaodi for a while. When they saw Xu Zhaodi today, they just felt that Xu Zhaodi had lost weight.
Not that she has lost weight, but standing next to Chen Jianguo, the two of them look like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Someone said with a smile: "Captain Chen, where are you two going at this time?"
Before Chen Jianguo could answer, Xu Zhaodi gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Chen Jianguo realized it later, and the straight man was also quick to react, saying, "Yeah... Let's go out for a walk."
"It's great to see you two walking together. Come back soon and be safe."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xu Zhaodi also smiled politely at them. After what Feng Xiujuan had done to her daughter in the car during the day, and what had happened in the past few days, these women in the compound should stop gossiping about her now, right?
Judging from the way they look at me today, I guess they don't hate me as much as before.
The two of them came to the playground. Xu Zhaodi thought there was really no one there, but it turned out that there were a few people playing basketball there.
When these people saw the two men, they also stopped what they were doing unexpectedly.
Chen Jianguo looked and saw that Zhao Erdan was also among them.
Zhao Erdan said with a smile: "Hello, Battalion Commander, hello, sister-in-law."
Xu Zhaodi felt embarrassed. She tucked the loose hair behind her ears and smiled. In the evening light, she looked gentle, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility.
"Hello, little comrade. I brought you some wild vegetables last time. Did they taste good?"
Zhao Erdan was in low spirits and was about to complain, but when he saw Chen Jianguo's gloomy face, the smile that was about to bloom on his face disappeared instantly.
"Sister-in-law, I suddenly remembered that I still have a baby. I'll go back first."
Zhao Erdan ran away first, and the others did not dare to stay in front of the living devil for any longer, so they also ran away.
