After Jianshu wiped him clean, he wiped him on very smoothly and then said, "Alright, this matter ends here. I won't bother with you anymore. But you have to get the money back yourself, otherwise you won't get any pocket money in the future. Leave the money with me. Apply for it when you need it."
After thinking about it, he relaxed a little. "As for the drinking issue, I don't like to go overboard and stop eating because of choking. If you really need to, you can drink less. Just remember this lesson."
It's unrealistic to completely abstain from alcohol. For example, if you're treating your soldiers to a meal, wouldn't they feel like their superiors are looking down on you if they didn't drink at all? Or, if you're meeting old comrades, wouldn't it feel like the relationship is distant if you don't drink? And what about elders, leaders, etc.? Can you all abstain from alcohol?
After all, this is a society based on personal relationships, and the drinking culture has been passed down for thousands of years. Being in this position, these necessary interactions are inevitable. When they are not qualified to change, they can only adapt.
What's more, she was never angry about him drinking, but about drinking too much and trying to hide it from her.
"Wife, don't worry, I promise to get the money back in two days!" Gu Mingjing said confidently. He already had a plan in mind. After suffering such a huge loss, he would not let it go easily. Returning the money? It was not that simple.
I ignored him before, but now he dares to plot against me. If I don't take revenge, I will be unjust to the suffering he has suffered today.
God knows how scared he was just now. He still feels scared when he thinks about it now, and his hands can't help shaking.
Jian Shu glanced at him and nodded casually, "Okay, then I'll wait for the money. But even if I get the money back, you won't have pocket money for next month, so it'll be a lesson for you. If you don't get it back, you won't have pocket money in the future. So you can do whatever you want."
"I promise to bring it back!" Gu Mingjing was still thinking about his pocket money, otherwise he would have no money to buy a hairpin for his wife.
As for drinking...
"Don't worry, my dear. I won't drink unless it's absolutely necessary. Even if I do, I'll tell you in advance."
At his level, some socializing was inevitable. Although he could have insisted on not drinking, it would inevitably take its toll on him. He wanted to climb the social ladder, to give her a better life, and didn't want to be held back by these useless things.
Jian Shu nodded in satisfaction. Although she agreed, it was good for him to show some appreciation. "You said it, remember to report in advance next time. Don't get drunk, and don't let things like this happen again. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to get away with it next time."
"Got it! Follow the leadership's instructions!" Gu Mingjing saluted on the spot.
Is this an easy time? He's already half dead. If it happens again, he'll be dead too.
"Okay, stop playing around and wash the dishes quickly. I'm going to take a shower first." Jian Shu laughed for a moment, pushed the person away, took two steps, and then remembered something. "Oh right, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. You sleep in the second bedroom tonight and are not allowed to come in. If you sneak in, the punishment will be doubled."
"Ah--" Gu Mingjing wailed, but did not dare to beg for mercy. He could only go to wash the dishes with a sad face.
Seeing him like this, Jian Shu felt extremely happy, as if the last breath of air in her heart had been drained away. She hummed a song and went to take a shower.
The two people's moods were polarized.
***
After what happened last time, Gu Mingjing was still frightened when he saw Li Zi, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only bury his head in his food.
Jianshu thought he liked it very much, so he went to Aunt Li's house to exchange some for it.
Gu Mingjing almost couldn't hold back when he saw her. When he heard her say that he liked her, his face was filled with astonishment. What? He liked her?
He was sure that there was no one more annoying than him!
Jianshu then realized that she had misunderstood. She only remembered that they had a quarrel that day, but she had forgotten the initial cause. She didn't expect that the beginning of everything was Li Zi.
The two looked at the plums in the basin and looked at each other.
After a while, Jianshu pointed at the plum and said hesitantly, "What about this? I have to tell you, I don't want to eat it anymore."
She didn't really like plums. Compared to plums, she preferred sweet and juicy peaches, sweet and sour grapes, and cool and refreshing watermelon...
"I don't want to eat it either." Gu Mingjing said quietly, "I feel uneasy just looking at it now."
"Then what should we do?" Jian Shu smiled awkwardly. She could guess the reason why he was nervous, so she quickly changed the subject.
Throw it away? What a waste.
He scratched his head and came up with an idea, "Why don't you give it to someone else? Wash it and bring it to work tomorrow, and share it with the others so they can all have a taste."
It would not be appropriate to give it to Wu Xiufang. Everyone knows that she went to exchange plums today. She just got them back and now she is giving them away immediately. I don't know what people are thinking.
I'm too lazy to bother, so I'd rather give it to someone else.
"Okay, let's do it!" Gu Mingjing agreed immediately.
As long as he is not allowed to eat it, it doesn’t matter who eats it.
After solving the problem of Li Zi's whereabouts, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since the two of them had a fight and made up last time, Gu Mingjing has become much clingier. Whenever he is at home, he will definitely stick close to Jianshu and follow him wherever he goes.
Jianshu also let him go, and for a while, the two of them looked so inseparable that Wu Xiufang, who occasionally came to chat with Jianshu and accidentally bumped into them, felt a little embarrassed. After muttering to herself that young couples have a good relationship, she intentionally reduced the frequency of her visits to Jianshu to avoid disturbing them.
Jianshu didn't pay much attention to it for a while, thinking that something happened at home, so he basically stayed at home every day and rarely went out.
But he didn't stay there for too long. After work that day, Gu Mingjing was really bored. He had just finished reading a novel and hadn't found the next one he was interested in yet. He was still in a period of lack of reading, so he thought about finding something to pass the time.
When I was lying upside down on the sofa in a daze, I raised my eyes and saw the calendar hanging on the wall. I thought about it and calculated the days. It seemed that tomorrow was the time for the small market that Wu Xiufang mentioned.
He immediately jumped up from the sofa, put on his shoes and ran to the room. He took out a small locked box from the closet, pushed the thin blanket on the bed aside, kicked off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed holding the box.
The small box was placed between his legs, the small lock on the box still hanging loosely. Unlocking it and lifting the lid, he found various bills and the family's cash, both small and large, tied together in piles with rubber bands. There were also some scattered coins. At the bottom was an account book, which recorded some of the daily favors.
Of course, daily expenses like daily expenses are definitely not listed there, otherwise Jianshu would definitely expose her. However, she also has an account book in her space, which records all expenses clearly, so that she won't be confused about how much she earns and how much she spends throughout the year.
