Chapter 6 Going to the city to buy wedding supplies

Chen Cuijuan didn’t expect Gu’s family to be so generous.

She felt much more at ease in her heart, she took it generously, and then, in front of everyone, directly stuffed it into Shen Zhiyu’s hand, “Don’t laugh at us, we’ve already prepared Yuzu’s dowry, thirty-six legs, two quilts.

Yuyu has been in poor health since she was a child, at home, we’ve never let her suffer any grievances, we even couldn’t bear to let her do heavy work, to be honest, we’re reluctant to let her get married,

But since she’s getting married, we’ll definitely do our best to make her happy, we won’t keep this betrothal gift, Yuzu, take it, it’s your private money for your dowry.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole room became quiet.

So many things as dowry and no betrothal gift, this was the first time Chen Cuijuan had seen this in her life!

That’s how it was written in the book.

Those pale words were indeed shocking, but what happened in reality made her even more difficult to bear.

She choked and called out “Mom”, and tears fell one by one.

“What are you crying for, this is a happy occasion, Little Gu is a good comrade, you’re marrying him, Mom is relieved.”

Seeing her cry, Gu Ye’s heart skipped a beat, he couldn’t say anything.

Women are really made of water, she cried yesterday, she cried in his dream, and now she’s crying again.

Why is she so prone to crying.

If they didn’t have to catch the bus to town, they would have chatted for a while.

Shen Zhiyu went to wash her face again, put on some clam oil, took her straw hat and went out with Gu Ye.

When they went out, Chen Cuijuan still told Gu Ye: “Yuzu is in poor health, Little Gu, you have to take good care of her.”

Gu Ye glanced at Shen Zhiyu standing in front of him.

They were both country people, he was as black as charcoal, he didn’t know how she was so white.

She had just washed her face, her skin was white and translucent, her eyes were red from crying, like a peach’s bottom, making her look exceptionally charming.

“Hmm, that’s what I should do.”

Chen Cuijuan smiled, “Alright, you two go, Yuzu, remember to buy clothes, don’t think about saving money and buying cloth to make your own clothes, marriage is a big deal, don’t be stingy.”

In this era, buying a ready-made garment costs more than ten yuan.

For the same clothes, if you buy cloth and make it yourself at home, if you have a sewing machine, you can make it yourself.

If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can find a tailor in the village, and it only costs a few yuan, including the labor cost, you can save half!

If it wasn’t because they were broke, who would buy ready-made clothes?

But Chen Cuijuan and the others loved their daughter, and they were really getting married the day after tomorrow, they had to spend the money they needed to spend!

“I know, Mom, you guys go back quickly, we’re going to catch the bus too.”

“Go, go.”

Chen Cuijuan watched the young couple leave, she was happy no matter how she looked at them.

See, their delicate daughter, should find a tall and strong male comrade like Gu Ye!

It’s just that… Chen Cuijuan frowned, the difference in size was too big, if the man didn’t know how to cherish the female comrade, and only cared about his own pleasure, her daughter would suffer!

No way.

Chen Cuijuan’s face was serious, she decided to teach her daughter a good lesson when they came back today.

How to control a man in bed!

“What’s wrong, you’re smiling one moment and frowning the next.”

Shen Dahe saw his wife acting like she was in a play, and joked with her.

Chen Cuijuan glared at him, “You don’t understand anything! You men only care about yourselves, I’m too lazy to talk to you!”

Shen Dahe: “…”

The village bus to town only runs once a day, they happened to catch it when they went.

Although they were getting married, they only really got to know each other yesterday.

Gu Ye wasn’t a talkative person, and Shen Zhiyu didn’t know what to say to him either. She always felt that as soon as she spoke, he would frown and say that she not only walked slowly but also talked too much, she might as well walk faster, so she just kept her mouth shut.

All the way, the two of them hardly said a word.

In the countryside, there are no bus stops like in the city, people just wait by the side of the road at the entrance of the village.

When the bus comes, they wave their hands, and it will stop.

The driver and conductor on the bus are also familiar with every seat on the road.

As soon as they got on the bus, the conductor asked them where they were getting off.

“To town.”

“Two cents per person, four cents for two people.”

Gu Ye took out the money and handed it to the conductor, then led Shen Zhiyu to find a seat and sat down.

There were two seats next to each other on the bus, he let Shen Zhiyu sit in first, and then he sat down outside.

There was everything on the bus, people carrying live chickens, people carrying pickles, and even people carrying slaughtered fish.

There were all kinds of smells, the first thing Shen Zhiyu did after sitting down was to open the window.

“Uncomfortable?”

Gu Ye, a big man, had been in the wild for training, and there were people who didn’t take a bath for a month, they slept together at night, the sweat and foot odor would be so strong, it would make your eyes water.

Compared to that, this was nothing.

Gu Ye didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, he saw Shen Zhiyu’s complexion wasn’t very good.

Why is this female comrade so white.

There were also white-skinned girls in the art troupe, but none of them were like her, translucent white, as if you could pinch a mark on her.

If she was a little uncomfortable, it would be very obvious.

Shen Zhiyu frowned, looked around, and everyone around was sitting.

She just tugged at his sleeve, motioning for him to lower his head.

Gu Ye frowned, female comrades are so fussy, they even want him to lower his head when they talk.

He didn’t move, but his clothes were tugged again, and even harder than before.

He looked down, the fingers that were tugging at his clothes were white and slender, when she used force, her fingertips turned red, so delicate!

He complained in his heart, but this time he was obedient and lowered his head.

Afraid that the people around him would hear, Shen Zhiyu lowered her voice, almost whispering: “It smells so bad, I’m a little uncomfortable.”

As she spoke, the bus started.

The roar of the engine just covered up her voice, only the female comrade’s breath gently brushed against his ear.

Like a feather brushing past, from his ear to his cheek, then to his neck, it tickled.

After Shen Zhiyu finished speaking, seeing that he didn’t react, she blinked, “Did you hear me?”

Gu Ye came back to his senses, and said “Hmm.”

Seeing that he didn’t react, Shen Zhiyu sighed, her decision not to talk to him all the way was so wise!

No wonder he was so good but still a bachelor.

This silent personality, Shen Zhiyu also immediately lost interest in continuing to talk to him, she leaned back on the chair and looked out the window.

Just when she thought he wouldn’t say anything more, the man beside her suddenly spoke: “You’re going to the army with me after we get married.”

She didn’t know why he suddenly said this, Shen Zhiyu said “Hmm”, “I know.”

“The environment in the army isn’t good either, you have to adapt.”

Shen Zhiyu’s heart skipped a beat, and she widened her eyes, “How bad is it?”

Gu Ye thought for a moment, it’s actually similar to the village.

But she’s too delicate, she still needs to be mentally prepared.

“For example, we don’t have running water there, but the water source is very close.”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhiyu understood.

She bit her lip and asked, “You won’t help me fetch it?”

Gu Ye wanted to say, when he was at home, he would definitely fetch it.

But sometimes he has to go on missions and train, and he might not be able to come back for ten days or half a month, she definitely has to exercise and fetch water by herself.

But when he met her gaze, Gu Ye choked, and suddenly couldn’t say anything.
