Chapter 143: What’s up with this?
Even Ruan Anan felt amazed when she saw Su Qingyue.
She was wearing a light yellow puff-sleeved dress today, with her long hair tied into a pigtail on the side and a small bow of the same color at the end of her hair.
On her feet were a pair of white low-heeled leather shoes with drawstrings, which were very popular in the 1970s.
There was no heavy makeup on her face, only a dead Barbie pink lipstick.
To be honest, Ruan Anan can't handle this color because her beauty is too conspicuous and this color will only suppress her beauty.
But Su Qingyue has the image of a beautiful girl next door, and this lip color just makes her look delicate and elegant.
In an era when everyone wore linen, coarse cloth, and dacron, her beauty became a sight to behold.
"You know what, it's quite pretty!" Ruan Anan spoke directly from her heart.
Xu Yancheng glanced at the little woman beside him with displeasure, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"It suits me, it suits me very well!" Ruan Anan disagreed with Xu Yancheng's tinted glasses, "As long as it's beautiful, it suits me."
Su Qingyue lowered her head in embarrassment and called out timidly, "Brother, sister-in-law is here too."
"What else?" Xu Yancheng took a step back, kept a certain distance from the couple opposite, looked around, and finally saw Xiao Li and Wu Wei strolling around pushing a cart.
Xiao Li and Wu Wei also saw Xu Yancheng.
Of course, this was not because their leader was handsome, but because Su Qingyue's yellow was too eye-catching in the crowd.
After a long time of effort, the two of them finally pushed the cart through the crowd.
Wu Wei and Xiao Li put the sack in Xu Yancheng's hand onto the car without saying a word, "Captain, we'll help you pull it back."
"You two are quite foresighted!" Ruan Anan teased with a smile, then looked at the things in their car: firecrackers, fireworks, and all kinds of food.
It's pretty good.
Little Li smiled innocently, "This year the leader said that everyone would go to his house for the New Year celebration, so we thought of buying more to lighten the burden on him."
"Yes!" Wu Wei nodded happily, his face full of excitement for the New Year. "Sister An An, let me tell you, we are rich."
"Alright, alright, you guys are always breaking the principle of not showing off your wealth!" Ruan Anan was amused by the two smug kids.
One of them was the guard of the army commander and the other was the guard of the regimental commander.
On weekdays, we have free food and accommodation, and clothes are free of charge. Wouldn’t there be some allowance left over?
The two of them are only eighteen years old this year, but they have been in the army for five or six years, so they are definitely not short of money and bills.
Nansha Island is a border island and was liberated much later than other places. This can be regarded as giving them a place in disguise.
There were no "Boy Scouts" in other places decades ago.
"Yes! As you wish!" Xiao Li saluted exaggeratedly, turned around and pushed the cart to go shopping with Wu Wei.
Xu Yanli and Su Qingyue were ignored by the two teenagers the whole time, and now they looked a little embarrassed.
But I quickly adjusted.
Xu Yanli still had a gentle smile on his face. "Brother and sister-in-law, won't you spend the Spring Festival with us this year?"
Xu Yancheng asked coldly, "Are we familiar with you?"
puff.
Ruan Anan felt that the book should be renamed "My Iron Straight Husband".
Xu Yancheng really attacks his half-brother indiscriminately all the time.
Xu Yanli sighed awkwardly, "Brother, we are blood relatives after all. Even if we don't spend much time together, we are still connected even if our bones are broken."
"I think we should repair the relationship between brothers this time."
Xu Yancheng quietly took Ruan Anan's hand and said, "We are brothers, but we haven't been brothers in the same womb, so naturally we are a little distant."
"Since we're estranged, there's no need to force it. It's better to just close the door and live your own life."
As he said that, he was about to pull Ruan Anan away.
"Oh!" Su Qingyue suddenly screamed, causing Ruan Anan and Xu Yancheng to turn around at the same time after taking a step forward.
Su Qingyue was seen flapping her skirt in panic, "This, this, this..."
At the market before the New Year, almost everyone on Nansha Island was at the market.
As soon as she called out, people gathered around her instantly, looking curiously at the young man and woman in sleek clothes.
Ruan Anan took a closer look and found that there were many small insects hanging on Su Qingyue's yellow skirt.
The yellow insect-attracting creature was completely materialized at this moment.
Su Qingyue originally had the image of a fairy who was not concerned with the mundane world. She looked at the insect on her skirt with a pale face and slapped it, and the tears in her eyes seemed as if she was about to cry in the next second.
Xu Yancheng frowned and pulled Ruan Anan to leave, "What are you doing again?"
Ruan Anan stopped and asked, "Do you think we can go together?"
Sure enough, Xu Yanli had already spoken, "Brother and sister-in-law, what should we do? Yueyue is covered in bugs, is she poisonous?"
Stupid!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Ruan Anan and Xu Yancheng.
Some of the military district's family members were sharp-eyed and recognized the famous God of War Xu Yancheng. They whispered, "Is this Captain Xu's younger brother or sister?"
"Don't mention it, the two brothers really have different styles. The younger brother looks more elegant."
"It turns out that Captain Xu has a brother."
See, I said I couldn’t leave!
If Xu Yanli wants to gain a foothold here now, the most important thing is to tie himself and Xu Yancheng together tightly.
Xu Yancheng is the youngest regimental commander on Nansha Island and a prominent figure with outstanding military achievements.
With this guy around, who would dare to really make them live in the cowshed renovation?
Ruan Anan rolled her eyes and turned around with a bright smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, you two don't even know that yellow attracts bugs, do you?"
"No way, no way?"
The two people who were just looking at Xu Yancheng turned their gaze to Xu Yanli and his wife.
Yellow attracts bugs, which is really a basic attempt for people on the Nansha Islands.
Su Qingyue still looked aggrieved. "Sister-in-law, I really don't know what to do now? Will they bite me?"
"Yes!" Ruan Anan nodded seriously.
Xu Yancheng's face had completely darkened. He walked up to Xu Yanli with a sullen expression and asked, "So, you're here to embarrass yourself today?"
"Skirt, brother, this is such an accident!" Xu Yanli shook his head helplessly, "Sister-in-law, can you help me? You're a woman too, and it's not right for a man like me to chase away bugs for her in broad daylight, right?"
This statement would certainly be unreasonable in 2025, but it was perfectly reasonable in 1970.
Even if they are a couple, they should not be too close to each other in public.
Then she, the nominal sister-in-law, would have to help her sisters-in-law drive away the bugs.
"No." Xu Yancheng refused without a second thought. "A couple of bites won't kill anyone. My wife is weak and can't do things like chasing away insects!"
