Chapter 38: The First Step in Chasing a Wife
Ruan Anan breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for her meddling in other people's affairs and saving Gao Ruoyun.
Otherwise, how awkward it would be for two people to be in the same room when they first met!
She turned around and smiled at Xu Yancheng, "Then why don't you go to bed early?"
"Yeah!" Xu Yancheng still had an expressionless look on his face. He nodded slightly and said goodbye. When he watched Ruan Anan and Gao Ruoyun disappear at the stairs, a trace of frustration flashed uncontrollably in his eyes.
Xu Yancheng: ...
The wife you got flew away right before your eyes?
The military wife at the front desk was so anxious that she threw away the melon seeds in her hand and glanced at Xu Yancheng's epaulettes, "You've become the head of the regiment, haven't you touched your wife's hand yet?"
Xu Yancheng: ? ?
He clutched the key card and felt his face burning.
Because, I really didn’t touch it!
The military wife was an experienced person, and when she saw Xu Yancheng's embarrassed look, she looked as if she was disappointed in him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You navy men, when you go on a mission, you're always drifting on the sea, with no place to even send a telegram."
"If you keep being so stupid and ignorant, your wife will run away with someone else and you won't even have anywhere to cry!"
These words were like a needle, piercing Xu Yancheng's heart accurately.
Those black eyes that were usually as sharp as an eagle were suddenly filled with confusion and... a thirst for knowledge?
He was already handsome, and now he had a somewhat bewildered yet extremely serious expression.
The soldier's wife's heart softened. She waved at him and lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law will teach you a practical lesson! To pursue a wife, you have to spend money! Put in effort! And be sincere!"
"Also, don't be so honest."
"If you have the energy, use it on your wife!"
Money? Labor? Heart?
These six words hit Xu Yancheng's heart like a hammer, making him feel enlightened.
"I understand, thank you sister-in-law!"
With a general idea in mind, Xu Yancheng decisively changed to a double room and took the driver straight to the floor where Ruan Anan was.
The driver, Xiao Jia, felt a little uncomfortable. "Captain, can we...can we stay in separate rooms?"
"Don't waste military resources!"
After rejecting Xiao Jia, Xu Yancheng took out the small army green backpack he had brought with him.
It contained all the belongings he had saved since he joined the army.
Allowances, bonuses, and all kinds of colorful tickets.
He is a bachelor and all his food, clothing and other expenses are paid for by the army.
I had money and tickets but nowhere to spend them, and before I knew it, I had accumulated a thick stack.
This much should be enough for my wife to spend!
…
Ruan Anan and Gao Ruoyun were shaken on the train for three days and two nights, and their bones were almost falling apart.
After entering the room, the first thing to do is to take a shower.
The ferry would not depart until three days later, so they could spend two days in Min City.
Gao Ruoyun said that her uncle and aunt had prepared everything for her and she was paralyzed in bed and refused to go out.
Ruan Anan had her own plans, so she ignored her, changed into light clothes, and slung a small cloth bag over her shoulder, ready to go out.
She has so many treasures in her space, and she has to use the name of "purchasing" to let them "see the light" openly.
Otherwise, when you arrive at the Nansha Islands, your family will have an extra bag of rice today and an extra basin tomorrow.
With Xu Yancheng's eyes as a scout, wouldn't he arrest her and interrogate her as an enemy spy?
Thinking of Xu Yancheng, Ruan Anan looked up and saw Xu Yancheng, tall and graceful in military uniform, standing at the stairs.
Ruan Anan paused, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Yeah." Xu Yancheng responded, seeming a little uncomfortable, and handed over the small military green shoulder bag, "Here."
"For me?" Ruan Anan was not polite.
After all, the original owner and he were childhood sweethearts. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so it was normal for him to give a gift.
She opened the bag casually, thinking of taking it apart to see what was inside so that she could say thank you in person.
“Oh my god!!”
A thick stack of coupons! Food coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, industrial coupons...
Ruan An was so scared that his hands were shaking, as if he was holding a hot potato, and he quickly stuffed the tickets back.
She looked around like a thief, and only after confirming that there was no one around did she pat her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
"Captain Xu! Are you... possessed by the God of Wealth, or are you just out of your mind?"
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yanli was puzzled, but looking at her lively expression, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose again.
Ruan Anan hooked her finger at him.
Xu Yancheng obediently leaned forward slightly.
The girl's fragrant, warm breath blew into his ears, and her voice was urgent and low: "Have you never heard of 'the man is innocent, but guilty of possessing a treasure'? Don't show off your wealth, my great captain! You have so many valuable bills, and you only wrap them in rags? Aren't you afraid someone will rob them along the way?"
"Hurry up and put it away! If we run into someone who wants our money and our lives, we won't even have time to cry!"
The girl's warm breath brushed against his earlobe, and Xu Yancheng's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, with a hint of red creeping up the tip of his ear.
He really wanted to tell her that this was a military guesthouse and ordinary people were not allowed to stay there.
There's really no need to be so cautious.
However, he still cooperated and said, "Then keep it. There is also a passbook inside."
"There's also a passbook?!" Ruan Anan exclaimed, reaching into her bag, took out a small red-covered notebook, and flipped directly to the back.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... one, ten thousand, seven?!"
Ruan Anan's eyes almost popped out, and she tried desperately to push the corners of her mouth down, but she couldn't stop them from rising wildly.
Looking at the girl's suddenly dilated pupils and the corners of her mouth that couldn't be suppressed, Xu Yancheng felt relieved.
My sister-in-law was right! "Paying money" really works! My wife is finally happy!
Ruan Anan was really happy!
Seventeen thousand! Nineteen seventy!
What is the concept?
The term "ten thousand yuan household" only came into being after the reform and opening up in 1979.
Now the average worker only earns a few dozen yuan a month.
If a family has a deposit of 1,800 yuan, they will be a well-known wealthy family in the surrounding area!
Xu Yancheng actually saved up 17,000 yuan without making any noise!
She just came here and she became a "super ten thousand yuan household" in the 1970s?
Ruan Anan is not short of money, and there are hundreds of boxes of small yellow croakers in the space.
But I can’t spend it!
These 17,000 yuan are "live money" that can be spent openly.
How could she not be happy?
This feeling... is much better than doing it herself.
Sure enough, it’s better to roll up your husband than yourself!
Life will be comfortable only if the husband is capable!
etc!
Her ecstatic expression froze instantly after she saw every record on the passbook.
In addition to the fixed monthly allowance and annual bonus, there are several large sums of money coming in.
The most recent transaction was for three thousand yuan!
She raised her head, the smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes were full of scrutiny and vigilance.
"Xu Yancheng, your money... is from a legitimate source, right?"
The implication is: This isn't some dirty money, is it?
The gentle smile on Xu Yancheng's face remained unchanged, his eyes frank, "Don't worry, it was all fought for with real swords and guns, clean and honest. The latest payment was a meritorious service bonus."
"That's good!" Ruan Anan's heart returned to her stomach. She caressed the numbers on the passbook lovingly, her lips cracked to her ears, and she skillfully turned on the PUA mode.
"I'm not after your money! But since we're going to live together in the future, I'll reluctantly keep it for you..."
Just as he finished speaking, a voice full of resentment came from downstairs.
"Ruan Anan! Your eyes are almost glued to that passbook and you can't get them out! And you still say you're not after the money? You're kidding!"
