"Gu Yanbai, you even went out of your way to buy me a watch?" Su Nianxue looked at the mechanical watch on her wrist with a smile on her face.
"I didn't go there specifically to buy it. I just happened to be browsing at the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that they were selling watches, so I bought one on a whim."
Her bright smile dazzled him and instantly brightened the whole room.
He coughed lightly, seemingly uncomfortably, and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it, it looks great. It will be much easier for me to check the time now."
She twirled her watch, a sweet smile playing on her lips, clearly quite satisfied.
"Then remember to check the time when you lock the front door in the future," Gu Yanbai quietly added.
"It depends on the time. Just turn it off whenever you go to sleep!"
Su Nianxue disagreed, saying, "Isn't that how everyone does it? When you're sleepy, you just close the door and go to sleep. Why bother checking the time?"
Looking at her like this, Gu Yanbai felt his teeth starting to itch again.
She never considered that perhaps someone... hadn't returned yet!
"From now on, you are not allowed to use sticks to block the gate before nine o'clock."
He secretly calculated the time and was sure he could get back before nine o'clock.
If it's just a bolt, he can pull it off with something, but if it's blocked by a big wooden stick, then he's powerless.
He doesn't want to climb the wall anymore!
"Will you be coming back at night from now on?" Su Nianxue looked up at him in surprise.
"What, you don't want me to come back?" This brat deserves to be taught a lesson.
"How could that be? I was just worried about you."
Just imagine how difficult it would be to travel on a road full of potholes and in the dark at night!
If it gets too late, don't come back.
"What if you accidentally fall into the ditch?" Su Nianxue said very sincerely, looking extremely earnest.
But Gu Yanbai didn't believe a single word of it.
She's kidding me!
Does he not know what she's thinking?
She'd love for him not to come back so she could have the big bed all to herself, and she even has the audacity to say she's worried about him.
You can't hide the joy in her eyes when this topic is mentioned.
I could practically have a few words etched on my forehead: I don't want him to come back.
He racked his brains, but couldn't recall doing anything inappropriate to her.
On the contrary, I seem to have treated her quite well.
But why does she dislike me so much?
"You don't need to worry about that. My eyesight is excellent, I guarantee I won't fall into the ditch."
Just remember not to close the door too early at night, okay?
Su Nianxue suddenly felt that the watch on her wrist was no longer appealing. "Could the time be moved up a little?"
It's hot, so it's alright.
"If it gets cold, I'll be so sleepy I'll die."
"Okay then, if it's hot, then it'll be nine o'clock, and if it's cold, then it'll be eight-thirty."
Seeing that she wasn't very happy, Gu Yanbai presciently said, "No bargaining allowed."
I knew she wouldn't be happy, and with that sharp tongue of hers, she might just stab herself in the back.
Therefore, he wisely interrupted her.
"Oh!" Su Nianxue pouted. This person was just so domineering.
Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Gu Yanbai said again, "I didn't find a radio at the supply and marketing cooperative this time. I'll buy one for you in a few days."
When you're at home with nothing to do, you can listen to music or something to pass the time.
It sounded pretty good, but Su Nianxue didn't forget that these things were very expensive.
Although it's true that buying the "four major items" (wedding accessories, wedding furniture, and wedding gifts) is popular nowadays, not everyone can afford them.
It's already considered good if the villagers can give more dowry.
Only families with financial means can afford the four major appliances.
All things considered, their family already owns a bicycle, and she and Gu Yanbai each have a watch, which is already quite good.
"Forget it, let's not buy a radio, it's quite expensive."
"Don't worry, I can still afford to buy a radio."
Oh, and a sewing machine too, I'll get you one too!
The wedding date was set somewhat hastily, and he was busy tidying up the house, so he didn't have time to go to the county to buy anything.
Upon hearing that they also needed to buy a sewing machine, Su Nianxue quickly shook her head. "Let's not buy a sewing machine. I don't know how to sew clothes at all. What would we do with it?"
The few clothes she owns were all made for her by her grandmother when she was alive.
In the past, whenever she had free time, Grandma would sit under the eaves, wearing a thimble on her hand, and patiently mend things stitch by stitch.
He would occasionally pick up the needle and make a couple of cuts on his scalp before continuing to sew.
Her mother didn't know how to sew clothes before, but later she lived with Su Jianguo and his wife.
Wang Lanhua has that spare money, but she will only use it to make new clothes for the family of five.
She wasn't even considered, and besides, she was always so busy that she never had the chance to learn these things.
Even if she bought a sewing machine, she wouldn't know how to use it.
"Okay, if you don't want to buy it, then don't. We can just buy ready-made clothes later." Gu Yanbai readily agreed.
"Buying ready-made clothes is too expensive. If we want to make clothes in the future, let's buy fabric and have them made at a tailor shop!"
"Alright, whatever you say, you can make the arrangements!"
Su Nianxue smiled and continued mending the clothes, appearing gentle and virtuous.
Gu Yanbai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"What do you want to ask?" Su Nianxue didn't even look up, and quickly sewed up the slit by threading the embroidery needle in and out.
"For example, what would I do in the county?" Gu Yanbai asked patiently.
"Didn't you say you were going to take care of some business? What's there to ask?"
