Chapter 19 Where Have All the People Gone?



Xia Linsheng really didn't expect that in just one minute, all the anger he had just felt turned into apology.

I still feel like laughing.

He tilted his head back, his body shaking with laughter. He finally stopped laughing and had to explain in a soft voice: "Okay, it's my fault. I didn't kiss the old man. I was just giving him artificial respiration. Okay, okay, I just... overthought it."

Yu Sui knew when to stop, and if she continued to make trouble, it would seem like she was flirting:

"You really thought too much. At that time, I was only thinking about saving people. Who would have cared whether he was an old man or a young man? You said that without considering my feelings at all. But since you are willing to lend me money, I won't make a fuss. Go ahead and buy whatever you want. It's raining. Buy it and go early."

After Yu Sui finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back, looking as serious as an old cadre.

Xia Linsheng followed behind her, looking at her back, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up.

"You've never kissed me... You've never kissed me..." For some reason, the words Yu Sui just muttered kept lingering in his mind and he couldn't get rid of them.

The little wife is so cute!

The two of them walked towards the department store, one in front and one behind.

Yu Sui walked around the first floor, but didn't hear Xia Linsheng say anything. Finally, she stopped and asked, "Hey, what do you want to buy?"

Xia Linsheng's face was still smiling: "I wanted to buy you a bicycle before, but now... I can only buy you some clothing material first. Also, do you want to buy some thermoses, washbasins, etc.? Oh, and I'll buy you an umbrella."

To be honest, Yu Sui doesn’t like things from this era.

Besides, what kind of marriage is this?

Who knows what might happen in a few days and make it impossible to get married.

She simply threw the question to Xia Linsheng: "I don't know what to buy either. You've seen a lot outside, so I'll listen to you. Just buy whatever you want."

This is indeed a good idea.

Xia Linsheng felt that his young wife respected him, and he became even happier and more generous. He took Yu Sui to buy cloth first.

It was just as my cheap mother said, Xia Linsheng wanted to tear off two coats of fur.

Yu Sui always felt that this kind of marriage was unclear and it cost Xia Linsheng too much of his money, and she felt embarrassed.

Yu Sui insisted: "No, it's still hot outside, and woolen clothes are not suitable for me. We borrowed money yesterday, so let's save some money and buy ordinary clothes."

Xia Linsheng gave his young wife a big red flower in his heart.

My young wife is so nice. She really cares about the family and is considerate of me. She is good in every way.

Finally, Xia Linsheng followed Yu Sui's suggestion and bought two sets of Dacron clothes, two sets of khaki trousers, and some wool.

But Xia Linsheng stuffed the money and tickets he had saved from buying woolen fabrics into Yu Sui's pocket and said, "Whenever you want more, you can go to the store and buy it yourself."

Yu Sui needed these tickets, so she accepted them.

Xia Linsheng made most of the other things. He bought two washbasins, two thermoses, a few pounds of hard candies, etc., and then blushed and asked Yu Sui, "Hey, there's a Yashuang for facial cleansing. Can I buy you one?"

Yu Suicai looked down on it and wanted to do it herself: "No, I have good skin, I don't need it."

Xia Linsheng glanced at his young wife's face, and thought of the time when he held her face when she dozed off in his car. The smooth feeling in his hands came back, and his heart softened.

Xia Linsheng put his hand into his pocket and squeezed it, then took out two dollars: "Well... then, I'll give you this money too. Whenever you want to buy something, you can buy it yourself."

Yu Sui: “…” Give again?

This man is really generous.

Alas, if the original body hadn’t died, this kind of economical and practical man would be really good.

What a pity.

Once the rain starts, an umbrella becomes a necessity.

But umbrellas are really expensive, costing thirteen dollars each!

Compared with the monthly salary of 20 to 30 yuan for workers and the annual income of 40 to 50 yuan for members these days, buying an umbrella is really a big deal.

No wonder such big black umbrellas are rarely seen on the streets these days.

But Xia Linsheng bought it without hesitation: "If Third Aunt scolds you, just say that I broke the umbrella and you left this one at home for everyone to use, then Third Aunt won't scold you."

Yu Sui didn't dare.

Why are you carrying an umbrella? That umbrella just appeared out of thin air.

Yu Sui: "Don't mention the umbrella when you come to my house. This umbrella is so expensive. Just open it and keep it at home."

Yu Sui meant that this umbrella was really too expensive. The one she bought from the space was not good to begin with. Although Xia Linsheng didn't know its origin, she couldn't blackmail him, so she let him take the umbrella.

Xia Linsheng heard it in his ears - my young wife has started to care about me again. She hasn't married me yet, but she has already considered it for the family.

It’s really good.

After Xia Linsheng had that face, he never looked stern again and was extremely happy.

Since it was raining, they definitely couldn't go anywhere else, so they went home.

After changing buses twice, it was only eleven o'clock when we arrived at Qingxi Temple.

Xia Linsheng went to get the bicycle. He didn't have a raincoat, and it was inconvenient for him to ride with Yu Sui holding an umbrella for him. Xia Linsheng kept asking Yu Sui to just take care of herself.

When arriving at Yujia Bay, Xia Linsheng was completely soaked.

Seeing him in such a mess, Yu Sui wanted to ask him to go home to take a shower and change clothes, but Xia Linsheng was too embarrassed to do so and said, "I'm already soaked, so I might as well go. I can't wear Uncle San's clothes."

That’s true.

Yu Sui didn't stay any longer and carried her things into the house. When she came out and wanted to give the umbrella to Xia Linsheng, she found that he had already ridden away.

Yu Sui was also half wet. She was thinking of boiling some water to take a bath, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.

It's strange. When it rains, the members won't go to work. So why is there no one at home?

Where did Sun Yuying and Yu Haichao go?

It's Sunday, and Yu Qi should be home by now, but he's not.

And that painter, he said he would come to work every day from now on, so why is he nowhere to be seen?

Yu Sui was just wondering when someone outside called out, "Yu Sui, Yu Sui, hurry up! Didn't you hear them? The team is having a meeting! Everyone, get together at the warehouse!"

Yu Sui stuck her head out to take a look, and it turned out to be Yu Qiu, who was wearing clogs and holding a buttercloth umbrella.

The butter-cloth umbrella made her face look waxy yellow, and Yu Qiu looked stern, like a wax figure, lifeless.

Yu Sui frowned: "I just came from the city and my body is wet. Do I have to go too?"

Yu Qiu: "Something big has happened in the team. If you don't go and people get suspicious, don't blame me."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Yu Sui: “…” What do you mean!

But Yu Sui was new here and didn't quite understand the rural rules. Since his parents and younger brother didn't leave home, he must have really been unwanted.

Yu Sui didn't know where the warehouse was, so she quickly opened the umbrella she had just bought and chased after Yu Qiu.

Yu Qiu lowered his head and stared at Yu Sui's black umbrella for a long time before turning away without saying a word.
