Chapter 51 Letter Home

Shen Zhiyu suddenly felt a sense of dread at how small the world was, a feeling of helplessness at being toyed with by fate. But then she turned to see Gu Ye, red-faced and happy as he drank with his comrades. The man noticed her looking at him and gestured with his eyes, asking what was wrong. Shen Zhiyu shook her head and smiled at him.

 Forget the novel plot. She already knew the plot ahead of time, so according to the logic of the book, wasn’t she the female lead? Who cares, she’ll live her life well anyway! He had training tomorrow. After everyone finished eating, they dispersed.

 Before leaving, they helped clean up the house. Fu Chunni and her husband, who lived closer to the canteen, helped the chef return the borrowed tables. Compared to the mess after the wedding in the countryside, where it was so dirty that no one could even look at it, and it took them half a day to clean up, and some things were even missing, like the leftover eggs in the kitchen that were stolen by someone, this time Shen Zhiyu truly understood why Gu Ye always said that the army was a big family, and everyone was a brother-in-arms.

They didn’t need to clean up much, after checking the gifts everyone brought, they washed up and went to bed. When the man came back after showering, Shen Zhiyu had already finished tidying up, she was sitting on the bed, smiling at him. Today was considered a belated wedding celebration in the army, and Shen Zhiyu had dressed up as she had done before. Her face was rosy, and she was wearing a bright red dress, looking radiant. Many old comrades saw the rumored black and ugly country wife in person and couldn’t help but punch him twice.

He was really getting the best of both worlds. This was a country wife? She was prettier than city wives! Gu Ye always knew she was beautiful, he even thought she was a little too beautiful, her waist and hips swayed as she walked, making him feel hot just looking at her. But men are men, seeing his brothers envy him for marrying a beautiful and good-tempered wife, he found more and more things to love about her. His Adam’s apple bobbed, “Why don’t you sleep first?

” “I’m waiting for you, I made you a gift.” Gu Ye was stunned, a gift? Shen Zhiyu smiled and took out the underpants she had made for him, excitedly saying, “Go try them on, it’s the first time I’ve made these.” In her small, soft hands was a large black pair of underpants, Gu Ye’s eyes were hot, and his heart was even hotter. He agreed and took the underpants, they even had an elastic waistband. Shen Zhiyu thought he would go out to change, but this guy actually took off his pants right in front of her. She quickly covered her eyes, “Why don’t you go out to change?

” “You’re my wife, what’s there to hide?” Gu Ye’s years in the army had made him more meticulous than the average man, but he was still rough at heart. He directly changed into the new underpants Shen Zhiyu had made. She had made them according to his old ones, and the size fit perfectly. The cotton material was comfortable to wear. And the elastic waistband was great, it wouldn’t fall off. Gu Ye was very satisfied, “It’s good, it’s all good.” Seeing him put on the clothes, Shen Zhiyu moved her hand away and looked at him. It was indeed as he said, it fit perfectly.

“It’s good, and it makes you look slimmer, I’m going to make a set of black clothes too.” Gu Ye heard this, and he felt something was wrong. Slimmer. Where was he slimmer? The man’s face darkened. Shen Zhiyu hadn’t noticed, she was happily thinking that he could finally throw away those underpants with holes in them. Then she saw the man roll up the pair of torn underpants that she found so unsightly, put them on the chair, and had no intention of throwing them away. Then he directly climbed onto the bed, his oppressive presence made her face flush red, “What are you doing?!” What else could he be doing? Getting even! Proving himself!

 Shen Zhiyu: “…… You scoundrel! You rascal!”

 After the wedding was over, they went to the county together on their next day off, and took a photo. They also wrote a letter to Chen Cuijuan and the others, and sent it back with some spices that Shen Zhiyu and Gu Ye had collected. It was expensive to buy spices at home. They had cooked for a week, and they had basically figured out how to use these spices, so they wrote it all down in the letter. They also told them that everything was good here, and they might be able to become a teacher soon. If she really became a teacher, they shouldn’t call her Yuzu anymore, they should call her Teacher Shen! When Gu Ye saw this, he fell silent for a moment.

Shen Zhiyu noticed his silence and looked up at him, “What, isn’t it true?”

 Gu Ye: “…… Yes, you’re right.” Shen Zhiyu snorted, thinking that this man was sometimes really annoying, and continued writing in the letter: Everything is good, the food is good, the sleep is good, it’s just that Gu Ye is too annoying, he keeps forcing me to exercise, my arms and legs are about to break. Chen Cuijuan couldn’t read. Tie Dan read the letter to her after school. When she heard the first part, Chen Cuijuan was so happy, her mouth wouldn’t stop smiling. Teacher was good. Teachers were easy and respectable! When she heard that Gu Ye was forcing her to exercise, the smile on Chen Cuijuan’s face froze, and her old face flushed red.

This girl, she’s already married and still not behaving properly! Didn’t she know that her mother couldn’t read and had to find someone to read it for her! The clueless Tie Dan asked, “Grandma, why does Auntie have to exercise after getting married?” Chen Cuijuan quickly snatched the letter and gave him a candy, shooing him away, “You wouldn’t understand, go play.” He didn’t know why his grandma suddenly changed her expression, but with the candy his aunt had bought him in his mouth, Tie Dan went off to play happily.
