Chapter 49: Xiao Shen, are you pregnant?
Watching Zhu Fang’s nervous fingers twist and turn, Shen Zhiyu suddenly had an idea: Fu Chunni had said that Zhu Fang looked down on them, the country military wives.
Maybe it was simply because… Zhu Fang had a personality problem? She wasn’t very good at communicating with unfamiliar people? Shen Zhiyu kept looking at her, and Zhu Fang’s ears turned red. “Comrade Zhu Fang, were you really a teacher? I also want to try and become a teacher, but you know I’m from the countryside, our village doesn’t even have a school, we have to walk to the next village to go to school, I don’t know anything about teachers or anything, can I ask Comrade Zhu Fang for advice later?” Zhu Fang looked at Shen Zhiyu. Meeting her bright eyes, she quickly looked away and nodded, “Yes.” Shen Zhiyu was almost certain, she smiled, “Thank you in advance.
” The drive from the army to the city was not short, Shen Zhiyu was so excited at the thought of possibly becoming a teacher, she couldn’t contain herself. Seeing that Zhu Fang didn’t seem to be averse to her asking questions, she took the opportunity and asked everything she wanted to know. Zhu Fang was still nervous when she first started answering Shen Zhiyu’s questions.
Her answers were very concise. But gradually, under Shen Zhiyu’s expectant and even admiring gaze, Zhu Fang relaxed more and more. Her answers to Shen Zhiyu’s questions became more comprehensive, and she even expanded on them. When she got out of the car with Shen Zhiyu at the department store, she realized something was wrong. She wasn’t here to buy things. Why did she get off here? Seeing her standing there in a daze, Shen Zhiyu asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Teacher Zhu? Aren’t you here to buy things?” Zhu Fang pursed her lips, “No.” She habitually only answered in two words. But she was inexplicably afraid that Shen Zhiyu would look at her with anticipation, so she added, “I have something to do at home today.” “Oh.” Shen Zhiyu knew that she had brought her here, and she was suddenly worried, “Where is your home? Is it far? Should I accompany you?
” “It’s not far, it’s in the textile factory, there’s a bus in front, I’ll take the bus.” As Zhu Fang said this, she saw a bus coming, she waved to Shen Zhiyu and quickly ran to catch it. When she heard that Zhu Fang’s home was in the city, Shen Zhiyu didn’t feel anything special. But now, Zhu Fang wanted to go home, and she could go back directly on the army’s procurement vehicle. But if she wanted to go back, it would take almost two days on the road. She lowered her head and kicked a stone. She missed her parents. When she went back today, she would write a letter home.
Since she was in the city today, she could also see if there was anything good here that wasn’t available at home, and she would buy it and send it back when she got paid. She would also tell them that she, Shen Zhiyu, could now earn her own money, her parents would be so happy. Thinking about this, Shen Zhiyu felt energized. With a proud stride, she walked into the department store. She thought Gu Ye’s white undershirt was great, so she bought two meters of white Dacron fabric, and three meters of cotton fabric, just enough to make a set of clothes.
The man’s inner clothes should definitely be dark. Cotton would be the most comfortable to wear. She bought two meters of black cotton fabric and a meter of elastic cord.
The cord was elastic, so it wouldn’t easily fall off. After paying for the fabric and coupons, she bought books. As Xiao He had said, there was a bookstore in the department store. When she found the complete solutions for the junior high school math textbook, she almost cried with joy. After buying the books, she turned to look at the furniture. The furniture and appliances were together. When she saw the dazzling array of furniture and appliances, Shen Zhiyu’s eyes were about to pop out. A beautiful red sandalwood wardrobe, with a mirror on the door that could reflect her whole body. Shen Zhiyu immediately fell in love with it. She asked the price, and this one wardrobe cost seventy yuan! And she needed a furniture coupon.
Shen Zhiyu forced herself to look away and look at the beds. The beds weren’t cheap either, ranging from 30 to 60 yuan, the headboards had patterns, and the patterns were the same as the ones on the wardrobe. If they were placed together, they would look amazing. Besides these large pieces, the chairs were much cheaper. A few yuan could buy one.
A whole set would still cost several hundred yuan. Besides the bed and wardrobe, there was another piece of furniture that caught Shen Zhiyu’s eye. A rack, with a basin on top, so you wouldn’t have to bend over too low to wash your face. There was another shelf above, where you could hang towels. The bottom was hollow, but there was also a tray to put unused basins. She noted the style, planning to tell Gu Ye and ask him to find a carpenter to make one.
As she was about to leave, Shen Zhiyu saw a cradle in a corner. Last night, she had deliberately asked Gu Ye to put a pillow under her waist, and she hadn’t rushed to take a bath afterwards. She had done everything according to Chen Cuijuan’s instructions. She didn’t know if she was pregnant. Shen Zhiyu lowered her head and looked at her flat stomach.
No, she had to prepare the cradle in advance! The saleswoman saw her standing there for a long time without buying anything, and she was too lazy to greet her. Shen Zhiyu was happy to be left alone, she carefully looked at the furniture she liked, wishing she could memorize it all. After buying her things, she waited at the department store entrance for a while, and Xiao He drove up. The car, which had been empty, was now packed full. She also saw a lot of meat. Shen Zhiyu suddenly remembered that she had to cook with Gu Ye and invite his comrades over for dinner, so she asked Xiao He if he could bring her some meat. The book mentioned pig offal many times.
It said that it smelled bad but tasted delicious. It was described in such an exaggerated way that Shen Zhiyu’s appetite was whetted, and she asked Xiao He where she could buy pig offal. Xiao He laughed, “That’s a coincidence, the meat processing plant had some pig offal that no one wanted, and they gave it to me, it’s free, sister-in-law, you can just take it back.
” “That’s great, thank you, Xiao He.” “It’s nothing.” Xiao He laughed heartily, and when he arrived at the compound, he took a bag of pig offal from the back and handed it to Shen Zhiyu. Before leaving, he specifically told her that it had a strong smell, so she should wash it well. Shen Zhiyu remembered.
She planned to wash it later when she had a break. But before she even opened it, she smelled the stench, and she immediately felt nauseous and started to vomit. Hearing the commotion, Fu Chunni, who knew she was back, came looking for her with the beans. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Shen Zhiyu vomiting, and she immediately exclaimed, “Xiao Shen! You’re pregnant?!”
