Xiao Yu had lunch at the Public Security Canteen. His wife went back to the countryside, so he ate there. He always ate quickly in the army, so he got used to it here. He would eat slowly at home, just to keep his wife company.

After the meal, Yang Tai walked into the cafeteria with a tired look on his face.

Xiao-Woo: "Director Yang."

When Yang Tai saw him, he felt like he saw a savior. He pulled Xiao Yu, who had already finished his meal, aside and asked him to watch him eat while chatting with him: "Xiao Yu, tell me, now that woman has been sent to labor camp, what does it mean that the family cries at the gate of the Public Security Bureau every day?"

Xiao-Woo: "Again?"

Yang Tai: "That's right, I just happened to see him when I came to have dinner." Otherwise why would he come so late?

Xiao Yu: "Let the commune take the people away. This kind of thing happened in the village under the jurisdiction of the commune. Logically, the commune should be criticized. Let's see what the commune means." The common people go to the county public security bureau for everything. What else do the commune need to do? Besides, no matter how hard life is, it can't be an excuse for moral corruption. Since the middle of last year, because more and more vegetables are grown on the stove, life has gradually improved, but that woman still didn't stop. Isn't it because she was blinded by this?

Yang Tai said: "Indeed, we should put pressure on the communes below, otherwise we will just sit back and relax and have no worries."

Xiao Yu stopped talking.

Yang Tai winked at him and said, "I heard that you haven't been very happy these past two years?"

Xiao Yu said unhappily, "Leader, who told you that?"

Yang Tai laughed. The news had spread all over the Public Security Bureau that Deputy Director Xiao was still a monk because his wife was still young.

Xiao Yu didn't care about these things. He just knew that he was living a good life. Oh, by the way, he was looking forward to meeting the five-fingered girl once a week.

Yang Tai looked at him and thought that this guy was really patient. He could sleep with his wife every day and still be so calm. He had seen Xiao Yu's wife before. She was not like his wife with a yellow face. Her figure was out of shape. Xiao Yu's wife was not only young and beautiful, but also had a very good temperament. She was the kind of literary and artistic young person. Oh, and she was also very capable, especially with the stove and kang for growing vegetables. Because she was the wife of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, their Public Security Bureau also benefited from it. When they went to the county government for a meeting before, didn't the county governor praise their Public Security Bureau?

Yang Tai thought about the mung bean sprouts again. His short-sighted old woman actually used the bean sprouts given to her by others to do business. She must be crazy.

In fact, Cui Ping doesn't look like a yellow-faced woman at all. She maintains herself in good condition in all aspects. But men are like this. After looking at the same face every day for a long time, they can always find a lot of problems and then dislike it in various ways.

Seeing that Yang Tai was just smiling, Xiao Yu ignored him and stood up: "I have something to do, I have to go."

Yang Tai: "Don't go, let's talk more."

Xiao Yu didn't want to talk to him. He went to the office first, opened the drawer of his desk, and took out all the money inside. The money he took out from the drawer was of different sizes, the big one was ten yuan, and the small one was one cent. He has saved the money in this drawer for a year and a half. As a man who turns in his salary every month and then gets 10 yuan pocket money from his wife every month, it is really not easy to save money. Xiao Yu counted carefully, and the money here added up to more than 200 yuan, so the money here is not only the pocket money his wife gives him every month, but also his usual bonus. What bonus? In addition to their salaries, the police also receive bonuses for catching thieves. Of course, he did not tell his wife about this. If he had told her, how would he save his own money?

Xiao Yu remembered that his wife once said that men should learn to save some money and then buy gifts for women.

Xiao Yu counted the money, hid it in his pocket, and went to the department store before work. In the past year and a half, he has never bought anything for his wife. First, he didn't know what to buy, and second, he wanted to save money to buy things he had already set his eyes on. On the contrary, it was his wife who bought him a lot of things. From underwear to cotton jackets, Liberation shoes, and leather shoes, everything on his body, inside and out, was bought by his wife, and they were all of very good quality. Xiao Yu knew that his wife had money, and he was happy that his wife bought things for him. Sometimes he thought that she didn't need to spend money on him. He was a grown man and didn't care about these things. He always wore work clothes when he went to work. But every time he saw his wife's sparkling eyes when she gave him something, he didn't say anything. He felt that he, the one receiving gifts, was not as happy as his wife, the one giving gifts.

Sigh... the pressure is so great that I have to work hard to save some pocket money.

Xiao Yu arrived at the watch counter. He still remembered the first time they came to the department store to buy things for their wedding. At that time, she looked at the watch counter for a long time. At that time, he thought she wanted a watch. In fact, if she wanted it, he would buy it. At that time, he had a passbook. A man's money is to be used to spend on his wife, but she said no.

Later, he handed over the money, so he couldn't give her a surprise even if he wanted to buy it. He knew she liked surprises, so he could only save money to buy it. Little did he know that it would take Deputy Director Xiao a year and a half to save just 200 yuan.

In Xiao Yu's mind, the things he bought must be domestically produced. He never thought of buying imported brands. As a Chinese, especially a military man, he loved things from his own country more. So when he looked at watches, he looked at two brands, one was Butterfly and the other was Shanghai.

Salesperson: "Comrade Public Security, are you buying this for your lover?" Xiao Yu came in a public security uniform, so the salesperson who usually looked aloof and had a face like a palace nanny was very enthusiastic at this moment.

Hearing the salesperson use the word "lover", Xiao Yu's tense expression relaxed, and even a smile appeared on his face. He liked people to use the word "lover" to describe his wife. Xiao Yu said, "Yes, but...Butterfly and Shanghai, I don't know which one to choose."

The salesperson sighed that the lover of this company comrade was so lucky. It was not enough that he had a policeman as his lover, but the comrade also bought her a watch, and the policeman was so handsome. Although envious, the salesperson still promoted the product responsibly: "In fact, when buying gifts for female comrades, the main consideration is appearance. Butterfly watches and Shanghai watches are both of the best quality. The biggest difference is in the watch brand. What kind of personality does the policeman's lover have?"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow: "What does this have to do with personality?"

The salesperson said, "Look, these two watches, one has a butterfly icon on the dial, and the other has the word Shanghai on the label. If the police comrade's lover has a straightforward personality, or is like some female officials who are strong-willed and competitive, I recommend buying the Shanghai brand, which is loud and clear. If the police comrade's lover has a more... more quiet and delicate personality, then buy the Butterfly brand, which has a very beautiful butterfly inside. Many female comrades like this butterfly logo very much."

Xiao Yu understood: "Then give me this Butterfly watch. Thank you, comrade."

Salesperson: “You’re welcome.”

A watch is not expensive for Xiao Yu's private money, only 160 yuan. After buying it, Xiao Yu still has 70 or 80 yuan left. He thought about it and asked again: "Besides a watch, what else is suitable to give to my lover?"

The salesperson thought, why do good men always belong to other people? "Is there anything else your lover needs? For example, clothes or small leather shoes. Many lesbians like the small leather shoes here."

Xiao Yu said, "My wife has all these things." His wife's clothes, small leather shoes and other things are of better quality than those in department stores. It seems that some of them were brought by relatives of some female comrades in the vocational college from Shanghai and other places. Anyway, he never asked about these things, and he also liked to see his wife dressed beautifully.

Fortunately Xiao Yu didn't ask these questions, otherwise Lin Yiyi would have to find an excuse.

The salesperson was at a loss. Most female comrades like clothes and small leather shoes. When she heard the police comrade say that his wife didn't need these things, she believed it. How could the police comrade's wife lack these things? Then she looked at the police comrade's clothes. He was wearing a high-necked wool sweater under his uniform. This kind of wool sweater was very expensive. It would cost her several months' salary, so the conditions of the police comrade's family must be good.

Seeing the salesperson's puzzled look, Xiao Yu did not continue. He took the watch and wandered around the department store. Because he wanted to buy something for Lin Yiyi, he only looked at the counters that had lesbian items.

Then he saw the bra. Xiao Yu looked at the bra for a long time and thought it was not as good-looking as the one his wife bought for herself. At least when his wife put on the one she bought for herself, it could still give her some shape.

Wait…what does the way the person at the counter is staring at him mean?

Xiao Yu suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had been staring at the bra for too long. He quickly retracted his gaze and left in embarrassment.

Vocational College

Today, I learned from my mother-in-law that Xiao Yu likes sweets, so Lin Yiyi took it to heart. In addition, today is the Lantern Festival, so Lin Yiyi prepared wine-fermented dumplings, put more wine and sugar, beat a few eggs, and bought green bean cakes from the system mall. Then I bought a plate of Dongpo pork from the system mall. Dongpo pork is sweet and very soft, and then I fried a plate of green vegetables and made a radish soup.

The green vegetables and radishes were sent by the captain's family. Today, she brought some flour and meat to their home, and the captain's family took them and asked her to take them back to the city. So Lin Yiyi felt that it was good to be relatives with the captain's family. Having a smart relative would save a lot of trouble.

When Xiao Yu came back, he saw his wife and Lin Wudi playing in the yard.
