"It's okay." Chen Chuning smiled sweetly at Zhou Yubai, "I have to thank Brother Yubai for saving me, otherwise I would have fallen badly just now."
She was so nervous that her heart was pounding.
But when she saw Brother Yu Bai so nervous just now, she suddenly wasn't nervous anymore.
It was the first time she saw this fierce and serious man showing such a lovely side.
Zhou Yubai calmed down and returned to his usual stern and fierce appearance, but his voice was much gentler than when he was talking to others, "Get in the car."
As he spoke, he also held the bicycle and tilted it slightly to ensure that Shen Chu Ning could sit on it with his height.
After Shen Chuning sat on the back seat of the bicycle, Zhou Yubai also sat on it.
"I have already reported my marriage to the military. The military has to go through the review process, and it will take some time for the marriage report to be approved."
"Yeah." A man's steady voice came from the front, and Shen Chuning responded softly.
The man added, "Ten days from now will be a good day. We will hold the wedding banquet then."
"Yeah." Shen Chu Ning responded obediently again.
Although she didn't say anything, when she responded to the two calls, the ending tone rose slightly, which was enough for people to hear her joy.
Zhou Yubai only felt that her soft and gentle voice was like a feather, sweeping across the tip of his heart, making his heart a little itchy.
He had never thought that he would get married before, but at this moment, he had some inexplicable expectations about getting married.
After getting married, it feels pretty good to have such a cute and soft little thing in the house.
There was only the sound of the wind whistling past his ears. After a moment of silence, Zhou Yubai spoke again:
"What are you doing going to the city alone? Where are your father and brother?"
Chen Chuning carefully grasped the corner of Zhou Yubai's clothes with both hands, "My father and my eldest and second brothers have gone to work, and my third brother has returned to the army today. I..."
Shen Chu Ning bit her lip a little embarrassedly when she was halfway through her words, and then whispered, "I'll go to the city to buy some dowry."
Zhou Yubai paused in pedaling his bicycle.
He didn't know why, but when he heard the sweet voice behind him, his heartbeat suddenly became irregular, and a sweet, indescribable emotion spread in his heart.
"What do you want to buy?"
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy four sets of quilts, and then buy thirty kilograms of cotton, two quilts of ten kilograms, and two quilts of five kilograms of cotton wool, and then buy some cloth to make clothes. I also need to buy some enamel washbasins, enamel tooth cups, iron kettles, and fruit candies."
When she goes out, the children in the village will come around to ask for wedding candy, so she has to buy some fruit candies in preparation.
In fact, she also wanted to go to the black market to investigate the situation and pave the way for doing business in the black market in the future.
But she didn't dare tell this to Zhou Yubai.
Zhou Yubai listened to her words without noticing that the corners of his lips were raised.
He had previously thought that she proposed to him because of what happened that night.
Although he had tried his best that night, they had already had intimate contact, and according to traditional rural thinking, they should get married.
Now that she was so serious about getting married, he felt that maybe she wasn't forced to marry him because of what happened that night.
"Brother Yubai, what about you? What are you doing in the city?" Shen Chuning asked politely.
Zhou Yubai remained silent and did not answer.
Just when Shen Chu Ning thought that she had asked too abruptly, Zhou Yubai's deep voice suddenly came from the front, "Nothing, just going for a walk."
Actually, he had no plan to go to the city today.
He went to Shen's house to find Shen Chuning, wanting to discuss with her about holding the wedding banquet ten days later and getting the marriage certificate after the army approved his marriage report, but he didn't find anyone.
After asking people in the village, I found out that someone saw Shen Chuning leaving the village, and it seemed that he was probably going to the city.
He thought at the time, she was so delicate, if she really walked to the city on her own, she would definitely cry!
So he immediately went home, rode his bike, and caught up with him.
It is the busy farming season now, and most people are busy harvesting corn, so there are not many people in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Shen Chuning arrived at the counter selling daily necessities and directly reported out everything she had just said to Zhou Yubai.
The salesperson looked at Shen Chuning's rosy little face, and thought about the things she bought again.
He understood instantly and said with a smile: "Comrade Shen bought so many things, is he getting married?"
Shen Chuning used to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Moreover, she always bought some fashionable clothes and shoes, and did not care about the price, helping the salesmen of the supply and marketing cooperative to achieve many sales targets.
So the sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperative became familiar with her.
"Yeah." Shen Chu Ning was a little embarrassed, and nodded slightly with a slightly red face.
The saleswoman looked at her shy appearance, winked at her, and said to Zhou Yubai who was two steps away from her: "Is that soldier your partner?"
"Yeah." Shen Chu Ning blushed slightly and nodded again.
“Ouch!” The saleswoman immediately slapped her thigh excitedly, “Comrade Shen, you really have such a good eye.”
The saleswoman gave me a thumbs up and said, "Before, we said that you were so pretty and we wondered how handsome your partner would have to be to match you. Now you are a good match, aren't you?
Your boyfriend is so tall and handsome, I dare say there is no one else like him in our county. ”
While the salesperson was chatting with Shen Chuning, he was already picking goods for her skillfully.
"Comrade Shen, don't worry. When you get married, I will definitely get you the best goods. Look at the enamel basin and enamel pot with the auspicious dragon and phoenix pattern, and the iron-shell thermos with the double happiness pattern. They are all new goods that have just arrived at our supply and marketing cooperative. If someone else comes, I will definitely not give them to her."
"These quilt covers with different patterns are all new. There are ones with birds paying homage to the phoenix, ones with dragons and phoenixes presenting good fortune, and ones with peonies blooming in prosperity. Which one do you like? I'll get it for you."
Shen Chuning chose two sets of Peony and Rich Flowers, and one set each of Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix and Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Good Luck.
After buying all these things, Shen Chuning asked the salesperson: "Sister, I also want to buy 30 kilograms of cotton to make a new quilt. Do you have it?"
The eldest sister looked embarrassed, "Comrade Shen, we don't have that much cotton. As you know, cotton is a military material, and our small supply and marketing cooperative has very limited supplies.
There are only five kilograms left now. Should I give them all to you? ”
Shen Chuning nodded, "Okay, five catties is five catties!"
Five kilograms is enough to make a thin quilt, and she will find a chance to go to the black market for the rest.
Or, she could find a way to get some cotton seeds, plant cotton in the space herself, and then find a reason to take it out after the harvest.
But they are in the south and don't grow cotton, so they don't know where to get the cotton seeds.
As Shen Chuning was thinking about it, he heard Zhou Yubai asking, "How much is this bicycle?"
