"Okay, come in, come on, I'm going to wash some apples for you to eat. These are delicious things. It's so hard to find fresh aquatic vegetables on this island. By the way, where did you get them from?"
Zhou Yuanzheng touched his head in an uninterested manner, "I left the island to carry out a mission yesterday. After the mission was over, I went to the city and saw that the supply and marketing cooperative was selling it. I thought you guys would like to eat it, so I bought some."
Mrs. Wang looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Shen likes to eat, hahaha, it's hard for you to remember Xiao Shen when you go out on a mission, if only my old Wang was half as careful as you, all right, you guys sit and chat, I'll go out for a walk."
After saying that, Mrs. Wang took the apples into the kitchen, washed two, brought them out, and then hurried out.
Zhou Yuanzheng knew that this was because Mrs. Wang was considerate of them and deliberately avoided them.
It seems that I have to thank Mrs. Wang for her care later. Shen Qingqing also had the same idea. She had really troubled her a lot during this period.
"By the way, why are you here today?"
Zhou Yuanzheng sat up straight and took out the neatly folded marriage report from his pocket. "Our marriage report has been approved. Do you think we can still get married on the date we set at home?"
Shen Qingqing lowered her head, not knowing what excuse to use to ask him to postpone the wedding date, so she only spoke after careful consideration, "Can our wedding date be postponed for a few days?"
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied, "Okay, you decide on a date. I can do it any time that's convenient for you. Just book it in advance and I'll ask for leave."
Zhou Yuan acted as if it was a matter of course, which caught Shen Qingqing off guard.
Is it that simple?
She hadn't even said why she wanted to postpone it. Shen Qingqing looked up in surprise.
Receiving her puzzled look, Zhou Yuanzheng explained, "Anyway, we haven't informed anyone of the wedding date, so it's okay if you want to postpone it. You always have your reasons. If you want to say it, I'll listen. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It's the same anyway."
He paused, then smiled softly, "Anyway, the bride must agree."
Shen Qingqing was deeply moved by these words. She had thought that she would have to spend some time talking, but she didn't expect that this man would be so considerate.
She nodded, now looking forward to her future life. "Okay, let's see if there is a suitable date this month."
Zhou Yuanzheng took out the almanac and flipped through it, then pointed to a date later in the month and said, "I think this date is good, suitable for getting married. Do you agree?"
Although people are not allowed to perform rituals to worship ghosts and gods these days, people usually check the lunar calendar in advance when building a house or getting married. This is an old custom. It is something that everyone has agreed on, so naturally no one would say anything. Shen Qingqing also agreed, "Okay, this day is good."
"Hey, that's settled then. I'll go back and prepare things for the wedding."
After saying that, he took out a red cloth bag from his pocket. It was bulging inside and no one knew what was inside it, but Zhou Yuanzheng handed it directly to Shen Qingqing.
"This is the money I saved from my salary over the years and exchanged for tickets. I kept some of it for wedding things. You can buy anything else you want. You can go to the city from the island every once in a while. If you don't understand Chinese, ask Wang Saozi and ask her to accompany you, or..."
Zhou Yuanzheng touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, "Or if you tell me in advance, I can take a leave to accompany you."
Shen Qingqing looked up in surprise. Zhou Yuan was sitting upright, but his ears were red. She couldn't help but smile. Then she opened the cloth bag. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes and coupons, cloth coupons, meat coupons, grain coupons, and even industrial coupons. The number was more than she had imagined. At the bottom of the cloth bag was a passbook with nearly 2,000 yuan in it.
Shen Qingqing was shocked and couldn't even believe her eyes. What? There was so much money?
You have to know that workers these days only earn 50 or 60 yuan a month at most, and ordinary people only earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. In addition, if there is only one worker in a family in the city, the salary is barely enough to make ends meet, and basically no money can be saved. But Zhou Yuanzheng actually has more than 2,000 yuan.
Zhou Yuanzheng saw her shocked expression and thought Shen Qingqing was suspicious. He quickly raised his hand to explain, "This is all my savings. Don't get me wrong. The money is innocent. My unit doesn't need much money on a daily basis. In addition to wages, there are also allowances for missions. I have been a soldier for seven or eight years, so I have saved some money."
Shen Qingqing laughed silently. What was this idiot thinking? She was just a little surprised, but how could she possibly suspect that his money came from illegal sources? Was she such a fool?
