Chapter 31: I’ll Buy It for You, Just Listen to Me!

“Then what time are you going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?”

“I don’t know yet, but I will definitely go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative tomorrow. I want to see if he’ll wait for me, I want to see if he has patience.”

“Yunqi, you’ll pass on the message for me, right? My happiness depends on you.” Wu Yangyang smiled sweetly at her, with a mind full of tricks.

“Wait for Lu Zhao to come back, and I’ll have him do it. Don’t worry, leave it to me!” Su Yunqi patted her chest, nodding seriously with a resolute look on her face.

“I knew you’d definitely help me! A kiss… Ugh, you’re married now, I won’t kiss you. If I kissed where Lu Zhao has kissed you, I’d get disgusted, and he’d probably beat me up.” Wu Yangyang quickly stopped herself, almost forgetting that the Su Yunqi now wasn’t the same Su Yunqi from before.

She couldn’t kiss Su Yunqi who had been kissed all over by Lu Zhao!!!

“Yangyang! You… you speak so… that way! Don’t say that next time, and don’t mention Lu Zhao either. He usually doesn’t hit people, only bad guys.” Su Yunqi was both embarrassed and angry, but she couldn’t help defending Lu Zhao.

“Yes, yes, yes. Anyway, Lu Zhao never hits you. You’re not scared at all. Now you’re his little wife, so you can ride on his head and do whatever you want, haha.” Wu Yangyang’s teasing laughter scared Su Yunqi off.

“I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going home!” Her face red, she shoved the Little baby into Wu Yangyang’s arms and ran away in embarrassment.

“Don’t forget to pass on the message, Yunqi!”

“I know!”

Su Yunqi covered her face and ran off. So, it was true—teasing from familiar people was the hardest to handle.

Not long after she returned home, Lu Zhao came back as well.

He had gone directly to find people from the village. The village had some skilled craftsmen who were very good at building houses, and their Green Brick House had been built by a few of the uncles from the village.

They had their own partners, so Lu Zhao only needed to find the leader among them.

“Lu Zhao, you’re back?”

Su Yunqi was bored at home, so she took out some flour, mixed it, and started making pancakes. She was busy in the kitchen at that moment.

“What are you doing? You’ve got flour all over your face.” Lu Zhao laughed and came over, using his thumb to help her wipe the flour off her cheek.

“Making pancakes! Try it, I think this way of making them tastes really good!” Su Yunqi hadn’t learned it formally, so she just went with her instincts.

She added oil, flattened the dough, and fried it on both sides. Then, she cracked an egg, put it in the pancake, and added some pickled vegetables and salted cucumbers—giving it a unique flavor!

“Is this a pancake? I’d say it’s more like a stuffed pancake, but it smells pretty good.” Lu Zhao leaned down and sniffed it before taking a bite. It was savory and fragrant, and indeed, it tasted quite good.

“Delicious!” Lu Zhao didn’t hold back on his praise.

“Right? Since it tastes good, you should eat more. I’ll make some extra, and later, you can take some to your parents. I’m going to send some to my parents as well so they can try it. Oh, right! Lu Zhao, after you deliver the pancakes, can you go to the town and pass a message to Brother Jianli? Wu Yangyang wants to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative tomorrow to buy something. She likes him, so you know!”

Su Yunqi suddenly remembered her friend’s big matter and immediately became excited, gossiping to Lu Zhao, forgetting all about the pancakes.

Lu Zhao flipped the pancake for her, holding the other one in his hand, taking a bite. “I didn’t know that. He didn’t tell me. Did Wu Yangyang ask you to pass on this message? What does she mean by that? Does she like Brother Jianli?”

Lu Zhao wasn’t particularly interested in other people’s affairs, but since his little wife was curious, he went along with the conversation for a few lines.

“She said a little bit, but it still depends on how Brother Jianli performs. Yangyang is really impressive!” Su Yunqi really admire her. If she were as capable as Yangyang, how could she be constantly teased by Lu Zhao? She really needed to learn from Yangyang!

“Don’t follow her example.” Lu Zhao saw through Su Yunqi’s thoughts immediately and knocked her on the small head to stop her from learning bad things.

“I’m not! You’re just afraid I’ll learn it! You have to listen to me too, hmph!” Su Yunqi huffed in displeasure, scooping out the pancakes she had made and carefully placing the small vegetables inside.

“Aren’t I already listening to you now? If you keep learning, will I even survive, Su Yunqi?” Lu Zhao was also displeased and pinched the tip of Su Yunqi’s ear, acting like he was mistreating her.

“I’m not arguing with you. Hurry up, the pancakes are still warm. Go deliver them to your parents first. After that, when I finish the rest, you can take them to my parents and also go to Town to inform Brother Jianli. That’s settled, I’m not going. It’s so tiring going back and forth.”

After saying that, she grumbled to her self: “Hmmp, it’s still better to have a bicycle at home. I should’ve just brought the one from home.”

Her family had a bicycle. Since she started middle school, she’d been riding it to Town for her studies. When they didn’t have much money, her parents bought her a secondhand bicycle.

Later, after saving some money, they bought her a new one in high school, and the old one was given to her parents.

If she had brought one with her, leaving another at home would have been enough.

Lu Zhao fondly stroked the tip of Su Yunqi’s ear and generously said. “Don’t bother. You still need to ride it back home. How would your parents see me? It’s just a bicycle; I can afford it. How about this—when we go to the Provincial Capital, I’ll buy you the latest and most beautiful one!”

“You don’t need to, just get an ordinary one. We’ve also bought a plot of land, spent three thousand yuan on it, and still need money to build the house and buy supplies. We don’t have that much money left; if we can save a little, we should.” Su Yunqi said wisely, not minding Lu Zhao’s playful touches. Sometimes, her patience was frightening.

And her sensibility was just as remarkable.

But how could Lu Zhao allow her to suffer like this? He hugged her from behind, unwilling to let go.

“You don’t need to save money for me. If you like something, just buy it. I work hard to earn money so you can enjoy it. I still want to get you a TV—you like watching TV, don’t you? We’ll have it set up soon.”

However, if they got a TV, the villagers would likely come to watch it. His big brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews would probably visit too, which would be a little annoying. That would take away his time alone with Su Yunqi.

Lu Zhao quickly made his decision. “If anyone wants to watch TV, just send them away after six in in the evening. We have to set that rule from the beginning, or it’ll never stop.”

There were only two households in the village with a TV. Every time they turned it on, half of the village would rush over, making a lot of noise.

“Ah, you’re even buying a TV? That’s not urgent, is it? I don’t really watch it. I can do without it. I go to bed early, can go play during the day, and then work later.”

Su Yunqi wasn’t very eager about the TV. Plus, she thought to herself, with how forcefully Lu Zhao always wanted her, even if they bought it, she wouldn’t have the time to watch.

“I said we’re buying it, Su Yunqi. Don’t refuse again. Are you going to contradict me? I’ll bite you!” Lu Zhao announced domineeringly that the TV must be bought.

The wedding had been rushed, and they still hadn’t finished the betrothal gifts. It was time to make up for it now.

As he spoke, his hand wandered a little too freely on Su Yunqi’s body, as if scolding or teasing her.

“You’re so fierce! Fine, if you like it, go ahead and buy it. Hurry up and deliver the pancakes to your parents, or they’ll get cold and won’t taste as good. Also, I’m cooking, so don’t disturb me!”

Su Yunqi shot him a quick glare with her round eyes, telling the annoying man to move his hands away—he was blocking her from getting her work done!

“I’ll disturb you! After dinner, I still plan to **** you!”
