Chapter 42: The man is soft but not hard

Shen Zhiyou felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

What do you mean by city women being flashy?

And the way Fu Chunmei looked at her was as if she had found a kindred spirit.

Shen Zhiyou even looked down at her own clothes.

Chen Cuijuan told her not to wear anything eye-catching when going out. The simpler the better, so that she will not be easily targeted by thieves.

Besides, they are going on a long journey and they don't know how dirty the road will be, so they must wear something comfortable and resistant to dirt.

These are the clothes that Chen Cuijuan specially picked for Shen Zhiyou.

Dirt-resistant and comfortable.

Although it is a bit ugly, it is convenient to wear when going out and you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged.

However, Shen Zhiyou had just arrived and was not familiar with all of this, nor did she know the background of Fu Chunmei's words, so she kept silent.

Just then Gu Ye came back.

Seeing Fu Chunmei there, he was slightly surprised and then greeted her.

"Captain Gu is back, you guys hurry up and eat, thank you for the hot sauce, I'll come talk to you later!"

After going out, she still sighed.

Although Captain Gu’s wife doesn’t look very smart, it’s still quite comfortable to talk to her.

After she left, Gu Ye went to the kitchen to get out the dishes and chopsticks.

Open the lunch box.

It just so happened that the cafeteria had fried pork with peppers today, so he ordered one portion and also ordered a stir-fried cucumber.

The staple food is cornmeal steamed bread.

"We're late, and there's no rice. Let's eat some steamed bread first. We'll go to Commander Huang's house for dinner in the evening. They also like to eat rice, so they should have stewed rice in the evening."

Shen Zhiyou nodded, "Then do you want to bring something with you?"

These days, food is in short supply and everyone is tightening their belts to make ends meet. People rarely go to other people's homes for meals.

Those who go to other people's houses during meal time don't know the rules.

It is best to bring something when you go to an ordinary person's house for dinner.

Not to mention that Commander Huang is Gu Ye’s leader.

"No need, Commander Huang doesn't talk about this."

Shen Zhiyou glanced at him and said, "It's their business if Commander Huang doesn't talk about this. It's our business whether we send him off or not."

"Didn't Xiao He just say that we have a supply and marketing point here? Take me around later and I'll buy some things."

The stir-fried dishes here taste pretty good, but they are very strong in flavor, salty and spicy, and go well with rice.

It’s okay to eat like this during the day, but if you eat like this at night, I don’t know how much water you will have to drink, and you will have to wake up several times at night, so how can you sleep then?

Gu Ye was obviously not used to the food.

For every bite of vegetable, you have to take two bites of steamed bread.

But he is not picky about anything. As long as he has a stutter, it's fine. He doesn't need to be picky about so much.

Normally, after training, I would be exhausted and would just have a bite to eat in the cafeteria. But now that Shen Zhiyou is here, I definitely can’t do the same thing as before.

"Well, when I'm not out training or on a mission, I can be back at five to cook."

Shen Zhiyou looked at him in surprise when he heard that.

Although Chen Cuijuan told him that she couldn't cook, Gu Ye said he would do it.

But now seeing that he seemed to have really planned this, Shen Zhiyou felt very surprised, but more relieved.

Picking up a piece of meat, he said, "Well, if you come back late, I'll do it."

Gu Ye looked at her suspiciously, as if questioning the truthfulness of her words.

Shen Zhiyou was immediately furious: "......Gu Ye, if you keep looking at me, I won't do it anymore! You can just wait to be hungry when you come back!"

The man smiled and quickly changed his tone: "I won't watch it anymore. Eat quickly and clean up after you finish eating."

He was full after eating one and a half cornmeal steamed buns, and the rest all went into Gu Ye's stomach.

After eating, they started to clean up.

Although they said they were cleaning up together, in fact, most of the work was done by Gu Ye.

He was strong and worked fast, so Shen Zhiyou was the one who directed everything, and Gu Ye followed behind him, passing him tools and giving him a hand.

"Move the bed inwards and the table closer to the window."

"Just move it here. It's just right like this."

"Yes, yes. Do you have a bamboo pole or rope at home? Let's build a clothes drying rack or a clothes line."

Men can basically understand what Shen Zhiyou means at the first time. Shen Zhiyou follows him and praises him every time he finishes something:

“You’re so strong!”

"Gu Ye, you are so amazing."

"You're so tall, I can't even reach this spot. What will I do without you?"

"No wonder my mom said that a family cannot do without a man. I didn't understand it before, but today I finally understand it."

The more Shen Zhiyou praised him, the more motivated Gu Ye was to work.

The house was cleaned up in a short while.

Shen Zhiyou was so tired that she sat on a chair and drank some water. Her face turned red as she ran beside Gu Ye, panting slightly. "It's really tiring to clean the house. You should drink some too."

"Um."

Compared to Shen Zhiyou who was out of breath due to exhaustion, Gu Ye remained calm.

If you don’t know, you might think that Gu Ye is directing and Shen Zhiyou is doing the work.

This was nothing to a man, but when he saw Shen Zhiyou's expression, he said, "Take a day off today. Starting tomorrow, you will get up in the morning and exercise with me."

Shen Zhiyou’s eyes widened instantly when he heard this.

He actually meant it!

And it’s morning exercise...

Then you have to get up very early.

"Not at night?"

"A day's plan begins in the morning, and morning is the best time."

Seeing her showing weakness, Gu Ye almost softened his heart, "Run two kilometers tomorrow, and then slowly increase the speed later."

!!!!!!!

Two kilometers?!

so much!

Shen Zhiyou's legs went weak. She didn't know what she was thinking about. With a gleam in her eyes, she waved at Gu Ye and whispered:

"We can exercise in the evening."

Gu Ye’s first reaction was that he had just said that it was best to exercise in the morning.

But as soon as I saw her rosy face, I instantly realized that the exercise she was talking about was not the same as the exercise I had talked about.

Gu Ye almost wavered, but quickly reacted:

"That's not exercise at all. Even if it is, you didn't move. I was the one moving."

Shen Zhiyou was immediately dissatisfied, "No way! I'm obviously tired too!"

"So you don't have good physical strength. You need to exercise."

Very good, Gu Ye has his own logical closed loop.

Shen Zhiyou still refused to accept.

But she didn't know how to refute him, so she bit her lip and said angrily, "Okay, since you already exercise a lot during the day, you don't need extra exercise at night, so let's sleep in separate rooms at night!"

Gu Ye frowned: "We are husband and wife."

"What's wrong with being a couple? No one stipulates that couples must sleep together."

Gu Ye: "...We'll talk about it tonight. Sleeping in separate rooms is definitely not an option. Let's go out and buy some things first."

Shen Zhiyou snorted twice.

When I thought about how I had taken such a long car ride to come to such a far place with him and hadn't even had a day's rest, he made me get up early the next day to run with him.

This is not marrying a wife.

This is marrying a brother!

Two kilometers, she hadn't even run yet, but her legs started to hurt just thinking about it.

Lowering his head and pinching his legs, Gu Ye looked at the back of his wife's head. He didn't know why, but he saw grievance on the back of her head.

I still couldn't bear it, "Take a day off tomorrow. I'm letting you exercise for your own good. Be obedient."

Shen Zhiyou: “???”

Why did he suddenly stop insisting?

Looking up and seeing the emotions in his eyes, Shen Zhiyou seemed to suddenly understand.

This stinky man, it turns out he only responds to soft words and not hard ones!

Knowing his characteristics, I immediately had an idea in my mind.

Shen Zhiyou lowered her eyes, the smile in her eyes almost overflowing.
