Chapter 43: There are several holes in the underwear

The supply and marketing point of the army is about the same size as the supply and marketing cooperative in their town.

However, some commonly used daily necessities can basically be bought here. If they are out of stock or unavailable, you can register and the buyers will go to the city to buy them later.

In addition to daily necessities, there are also some vegetables and meat for sale.

Because they were all bought in the morning or the day before, they are not very fresh.

It seems that we have to put growing vegetables in our own yard on the agenda as soon as possible.

When Gu Ye saw this, he took the initiative to say that he would go and borrow a hoe to plow the soil in the yard later.

After looking around, Shen Zhiyou bought the seasonings needed for cooking, as well as some flour, noodles, coarse grain powder and starch.

The starch here is different from the starch there. The one at home is sweet potato starch, while the one here is corn starch.

Since we don’t have chickens at home, we must have bought some eggs.

I didn’t have a thermos or a washbasin, so I bought one anyway.

They came with nothing, and left with bags full of stuff.

When Shen Zhiyou got home and saw the pile of things he had bought, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Only when you don’t manage a household do you realize how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

No wonder my mom is reluctant to add seasoning when cooking, seasoning is so expensive!

It was Gu Ye who paid for everything outside just now. Shen Zhiyou felt bad about it and took out all her own money.

"I still have money. My mother asked me to take the betrothal gift, and I haven't used up the money you left for me before you left last time."

"We can't all use your money when we live together."

Gu Ye glanced at her and didn't take it.

Instead, he went back to the house and took out a box.

Although there was nothing written on the box, Shen Zhiyou inexplicably felt that it contained all Gu Ye’s savings.

Just as she thought, the box contained the allowances that Gu Ye had received and the various receipts he had saved over the years.

There is also a red book.

Shen Zhiyou opened it curiously and found that it was his certificate of meritorious service!

"I am now a deputy regiment commander, and my monthly allowance is over 120 yuan. It wasn't this high before, but it was still several dozen yuan. Apart from the money I send home, the rest is all here. Take it."

He is in the army, and the clothes and shoes he wears are issued by the army.

All meals and drinks are taken in the cafeteria. Although it is not free, the army provides subsidies, and a meal costs less than a dime.

He is in good health and has hardly ever been sick.

Even if you are sick, it is free to see a doctor in a military hospital.

Plus, he grew up in the countryside.

He is the second child in the family.

Those who have brothers and sisters in the family know that the eldest child is the first child and the family will raise him or her with the most care.

The youngest child is the youngest, and parents will always favor the youngest son.

The second child in the middle is the one with the least presence in the family.

Not only is he not valued by his parents as much as his older and younger brothers, but he also has to help with housework and take care of his younger siblings.

That’s Gu Ye.

There are many brothers in the family and the family is poor, so naturally they are more frugal.

It can't even be described as frugal, it's just stingy!

One hundred and twenty a month?!

Shen Zhiyou exclaimed, "One hundred and twenty per month, that's more than a thousand per year? !"

Isn’t ten years just ten thousand yuan?!

Gu Ye's original intention was that, although the money he earned was not much, it was definitely enough to pay for the daily expenses of the family.

And her vanishing cream, leather shoes, and her favorite meat were all enough.

But what shocked Shen Zhiyou was: "You have so many cloth coupons and so much money, why are your pants still torn? Why are you reluctant to buy new ones?"

The military uniform this man was wearing was also old.

But the fabric is good and the material is wear-resistant.

He is tall, good-looking and has a good temperament. He has been training for many years and has a muscular body. Just by standing there without doing anything, he can make the female comrades passing by blush.

But this is the kind of man he is.

The pants are all torn!

Gu Ye: ".......It's not like you can't wear it even if it's torn. No one can see it if you wear it inside."

He also has a lot of reason.

Shen Zhiyou glared at him and said, "I'm not a human being."

"You are my wife."

Shen Zhiyou: “…”

I'm too lazy to argue with him, but when I heard him say this, I felt inexplicably happy.

This man didn't even blink when he bought her the vanishing cream, but he was extremely stingy to herself. When the time comes, she will buy some cloth and make it for him directly.

I counted it and found there were more than two thousand yuan.

Gu Ye was handed over to Shen Zhiyou, and Shen Zhiyou was not polite. She came here with him, so they must live a good life together. There was no problem in giving her the money!

After working for most of the day, I have almost finished cleaning up everything.

The two of them took a nap in bed for thirty minutes before getting up.

Gu Ye was called to the kitchen by Shen Zhiyou. Although he didn't know why she had to bring something to Commander Huang's house, the man didn't ask. He just did whatever Shen Zhiyou asked him to do.

Food is in short supply now and everything is precious. Shen Zhiyou can’t cook anything delicious.

There are so many descriptions about food in the book, but it would be useless even if she could remember them.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice.

What's more, she is not a good housewife.

My hometown is a land of fish and rice. There is not much of anything else, but there is a lot of fish, all kinds of dried fish, cured fish and so on.

Everyone can get some fish.

Shen Zhiyou hardened her heart and fried the dried fish she brought from home again.

That was Gu Ye's leader. He had just arrived and he had taken the initiative to invite him to dinner. It would be bad if he didn't bring anything. But if he did, the things he brought would be too shabby, so it would be better not to bring anything.

The fish was coated in sweet potato flour and deep fried.

Make a thin layer of batter, put a little bit of rapeseed oil in the pan, fry it again on low heat, it will be golden and crispy, and you will drool just by smelling it.

The fried fish was taken out and set aside to cool. After Gu Ye scooped out the oil from the bottom of the pot, he took a bamboo brush and started scrubbing the pot.

Shen Zhiyou quickly went to find a towel and handed it to Gu Ye to hold the edge of the pot, "Wait a minute, it's hot."

"Need not."

The man remained calm and cleaned the pot and everything else.

Shen Zhiyou quickly looked at his hands, which were all red. "What should I do if blisters appear on your hands? Hurry and soak them in water."

"It's all right."

This was not a big deal in Gu Ye's opinion, but Shen Zhiyou held him down and made him soak for more than ten minutes.

She didn't let him take his hand away until the redness on his fingers faded.

Although he felt that Shen Zhiyou was making a fuss, he was not like her delicate skin that would become wet if touched.

But seeing how nervous she was about him, Gu Ye suddenly felt it was not bad.

Shen Zhiyou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his hands would not get blisters.

Although Shen Zhiyou had never cooked with that book, every word in the book was engraved in her mind and she remembered it very clearly.

I don't know if the author really loves to eat or is just trying to make up the word count, but any description about food is very long, and half of the content would be about how to cook it and other people's reactions after eating it.

Therefore, Shen Zhiyou has sufficient theoretical knowledge.

Gu Ye has strong hands-on ability.

Although the combination of two people directing and doing the work was a bit strange, the results were unexpectedly good.

The refried dried fish is so fragrant, the bones are crispy and the fish head is also fragrant.

Gu Ye had never eaten such exquisite food, with all the meat, oil and starch. He was only willing to eat the fish head and tail, and was even more reluctant to give it to others.

Seeing how stingy he was, Shen Zhiyou glared at him and said, "Who am I doing this for? Give half away and keep the other half for ourselves, okay?"

Only then did Gu Ye agree.

While he was cleaning the kitchen, Shen Zhiyou also went back to the room to change her clothes.

It's fine to wear this outfit while working in a car, but it's not appropriate to wear it when going to Leader Gu Ye's house for dinner.

She was originally planning to wear the red top that Gu Ye bought for her when they got married.

After thinking about it, she decided that since she had just arrived, it would be better for her to stay out of the spotlight and keep a low profile.

She changed into the white cotton and linen top and gray trousers that Chen Cuijuan had made for her before.

Although it’s not as stunning as wearing red clothes.

But the clothes are well-tailored and have no patches, so you can't go wrong wearing them simply and elegantly.

The long, shiny black hair was tied into two low braids.

It was done, it was about time, so the two of them went out together.
