Chapter 6 Going to the city to buy wedding supplies
Chen Cuijuan didn't expect the Gu family to be so generous.
She felt relieved instantly. She took it generously and stuffed it into Shen Zhiyou's hand in front of everyone. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We have already prepared your dowry. Thirty-six legs, two quilts,
Youyou has had poor health since she was young. At home, we never let her suffer any injustice and we didn’t want her to do any heavy work. To be honest, we didn’t want her to get married.
But since she's married, we will definitely do our best to make her happy. We won't keep the betrothal gift. Youyou can keep it as your hidden money."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.
Chen Cuijuan was the first one they had ever seen in their entire lives to bring so many dowry items but not ask for a bride price!
That's what's written in the book too.
Although those pale words were shocking, what happened in reality made it even more difficult for her to hold back.
He choked up and called out "Mom", and tears started falling.
"Why are you crying? This is a happy event. Xiao Gu is a good comrade. Mom will be relieved if you marry him."
When Gu Ye saw her crying, his heart sank and he couldn't describe how he felt.
Women are really made of water. She cried yesterday, cried in his dream, and is crying again now.
How can you cry so much?
They would chat for a while longer, as they would miss the bus to town if they delayed any further.
Shen Zhiyou washed her face again, applied some clam oil, took a straw hat and went out with Gu Ye.
Before leaving, Chen Cuijuan reminded Gu Ye: "Youyou is not in good health, Xiao Gu, please take good care of her."
Gu Ye glanced at Shen Zhiyou who was standing in front of him.
We are all country people. I am as black as a piece of charcoal, and I don’t know how she can be so white.
She had just washed her face, her skin was white and translucent, and her eyes were red from crying, like the butt of a peach, making her whole person look particularly charming.
"Yeah, I should."
Chen Cuijuan smiled, "Okay, you two go ahead. Youyou, remember to buy clothes. Don't think about saving money and buying fabric to make them yourself. Getting married is a big deal, don't skimp on it."
These days, it costs more than ten yuan to buy a piece of ready-made clothing.
For the same clothes, you can buy the cloth and make them yourself if you have a sewing machine at home.
If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can find a tailor in the village. The cost, including the labor fee, is only a few dollars, which can save a lot of money!
If the family is not desperately short of money, who would be willing to buy ready-made clothes?
But Chen Cuijuan and her family love their daughter, and besides, she is getting married the day after tomorrow, so the money has to be spent!
"I understand. Mom, you guys should go back quickly. We are going to catch the bus too."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Chen Cuijuan looked at the couple's backs as they left, and felt happy no matter how she watched.
You see, their delicate and tender daughter should find a tall and strong man like Gu Ye!
That's right... Chen Cuijuan frowned. The size difference was too big. If a man didn't know how to feel sorry for his female comrade and only cared about his own happiness, his daughter would suffer!
no.
Chen Cuijuan looked solemn and decided that she would teach her daughter a lesson when they came back today.
How to control a man in bed!
"What's wrong? You smile and frown at the same time."
Shen Dahe saw that his wife was acting like she was performing an opera, so he laughed and teased her.
Chen Cuijuan glared at him, "You know shit! You men just take care of yourselves, I don't even bother to talk to you!"
Shen Dahe: “…”
There is only one bus a day from the village to the town, and they just caught it when they went there.
Although they are getting married, the two only really got to know each other yesterday.
Gu Ye is not a talkative person, and Shen Zhiyou doesn't know what to say to him. She always feels that as soon as she speaks, he will frown and say that she not only walks slowly but is also long-winded, and that she might as well walk faster. Then she would just shut up.
Along the way, the two of them hardly said a word.
There are no bus stops in the countryside like in the city, so everyone just waits on the roadside at the entrance of the village.
When the car comes, just wave your hand and it will stop.
The driver and conductor on the bus are also familiar with every location on the road.
As soon as they got on the bus, the conductor asked them where they wanted to get off.
"To town."
"20 cents per person, 40 cents for two people."
Gu Ye took out the money and handed it to the ticket seller, then took Shen Zhiyou to find a seat and sit down.
There happened to be two connected seats in the car, so Shen Zhiyou sat in first and he sat outside.
There was everything on the bus, including live chickens, pickles, and killed fish.
There were all kinds of smells. The first thing Shen Zhiyou did after sitting down was to open the window.
"Uncomfortable?"
Gu Ye is a grown man, but during field training, some people did not take a shower for a month. When they slept together at night, the sweat and odor mixed with the foot odor was so bad that it was hard to open your eyes.
Compared to that, this is nothing.
Gu Ye didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but he noticed that Shen Zhiyou's face didn't look very good.
Why is this lesbian so white?
There were people with fair skin in the art troupe, but none as fair as hers, so transparent that it looked as if a pinch would leave a mark.
If you feel a little uncomfortable, it will be particularly obvious.
Shen Zhiyou frowned and looked around. The place was full of people.
She tugged at his sleeve, motioning him to lower himself.
Gu Ye frowned. Female comrades have so many things to do. Even when they talk, they make him bow his head.
He didn't move, and his clothes were pulled again, and with more force than before.
He lowered his eyes and saw that the fingers pulling his clothes were white and slender. When they exerted force, the fingertips turned red. How delicate!
Although he was complaining in his heart, he was actually very honest this time and lowered his head.
Afraid that people around her would hear, Shen Zhiyou lowered her voice and almost whispered, "It smells so strong. I feel a little uncomfortable."
As she was speaking, the car started.
The roar of the engine just covered up her voice, and only the lesbian's breath gently fell on his ears.
It felt like a feather was brushing across my ears, cheeks, and neck, it was itchy.
Shen Zhiyou finished speaking, and seeing that he didn't respond, she blinked and asked, "Did you hear that?"
Gu Ye came back to his senses and said "hmm".
Seeing that he didn't react, Shen Zhiyou lamented that it was a wise decision for her not to take the initiative to talk to him along the way!
No wonder he is still single despite his good conditions.
Seeing his taciturn personality, Shen Zhiyou immediately lost interest in continuing to talk to him. She leaned back in her chair and looked out the window.
Just when she thought he would not say anything else, the man next to her suddenly said: "After we get married, you have to go to the army with me."
Not knowing why he suddenly said this, Shen Zhiyou said "um", "I know."
"The environment in the army is not good either. You have to adapt to it."
Shen Zhiyou's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her eyes widened, "How bad is it?"
Gu Ye thought about it and realized that it was actually similar to the village.
But she is too delicate, so she still needs to be mentally prepared.
"For example, we don't have running water, but the water connection is very close."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Zhiyou understood.
Biting her lower lip, she asked, "Won't you help me fight?"
Gu Ye wanted to say that when he was at home, he must have been the one who beat him.
But sometimes he has to go on missions or train, and may not be back for ten days or half a month. She must exercise well and fetch water by herself.
But when he met her gaze, Gu Ye was stunned and suddenly couldn't say anything.
