"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm full. Your cooking is so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious noodles." Zhao Quan praised Gu Yao generously. He was speaking the truth. The food in the army is always good, and he has never eaten such delicious meals in the army.

"When you're full, just wash the dishes." Xiao Zaiye felt unhappy when he saw the person who was snatching food from him.

It’s almost the same as what I eat.

This is really unbearable. This guy should be made to work more.

Lying on the bed to rest at night, Gu Yao looked at Xiao Zaiye with golden light in her eyes.

Xiao Zai Ye was so excited that she thought she could do it.

"Is it okay?" Xiao Zaiye thought it would be better to ask.

"What do you mean, okay? I want to ask you, when will you take me to the black market?" Gu Yao said, blinking her big eyes, wanting Xiao Zaiye to give her an answer.

"Ahem, um, about this matter, um, let's go tomorrow morning, get up early and meet up." Xiao Zai Ye immediately agreed to his wife without hesitation.

Gu Yao received the answer she wanted and felt very happy.

She put her arms around his thin waist, leaned into his arms, and fell asleep.

Gu Yao naturally understood what Xiao Zaiye meant. Her period had not yet ended, so she couldn't do anything.

Even if you want to do something, you have to endure it.

Gu Yao's face felt a little hot, so she pretended not to understand and couldn't see anything while lying in his arms.

I soon leaned on the warm chest and fell asleep.

The next morning, around three or four o'clock, Xiao Zaiye got up quietly.

Gu Yao heard the noise and grabbed Xiao Zaiye. "What are you doing?" she asked in confusion.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the black market? I'll get up first and let Zhao Quan go to see if it's safe today. If nothing serious, I'll take you there," said Xiao Zai Ye.

"Ah...I still have to go for a check-up." Gu Yao was frightened by the tense atmosphere.

Suddenly I remembered that this is northern Beijing, so there are naturally more rules than in smaller places.

It is normal that the inspection in this area is quite strict.

"Tell Zhao Quan to be careful," Gu Yao said worriedly.

"Well, don't worry." Xiao Zai Ye went out, and in less than two minutes, he entered the house.

"He went?" Gu Yao blinked and looked at Xiao Zaiye.

"Well, are you not sleepy anymore?" Xiao Zai Ye reached out and stroked her long hair.

Feeling my own hair, it seems that it is better than other female comrades. My wife is the best and no one can compare to her.

"Okay, I'm going to get up." Gu Yao took his hand away and started to get dressed.

"Eat something to fill your stomach." Xiao Zaiye brought a bowl of soup from the kitchen and handed it to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao saw a bowl of brown sugar water and two pieces of pastries.

Gu Yao blinked and asked, "Where did you buy this?"

"Black market, hehe, there are two more pieces in the cupboard, saved for you to eat tomorrow morning," Xiao Zaiye explained.

"Let's have one each," Gu Yao said, picking up a piece of dessert and stuffing it directly into Xiao Zaiye's mouth.

Xiao Zaiye's mouth was full of sweetness and happiness.

"Boss, I'm fine today. I took a walk around and the market is safe," Zhao Quan said with a smile.

Zhao Quan got in the car and they drove to a location two alleys away from the black market.

Taking scarves and hats from the car, the three of them dressed up.

When Gu Yao walked into the black market and saw this scene, it was much bigger than the black market in Dangcheng County, with many more things being sold.

Looking at so many things, Gu Yao wanted to buy some clothes and send them back home. In this way, if she couldn't go back home for the New Year, the things could be sent back home so that her family could have a good New Year.

Xiao Zaiye also decided to stay here for the New Year because of his eye problems. The doctor said that he is not fully recovered yet, so he cannot go to the army. In this case, he cannot go back to his hometown either.

Gu Yao found a stall selling clothes. The clothes were very characteristic of the era. They were all complete pieces, including tops and pants.

Gu Yao went up to ask the price, and the whole set of clothes cost thirty-five yuan.

As for the material, if worn in Dangcheng city, it would be good clothes in this era.

Gu Yao looked at Xiao Zaiye with a scumbag look and said, "Buy them. Buy one for mom and one for parents, and just buy some small things for everyone else."

Gu Yao bought three sets of clothes based on the sizes of her family members, two for women and one for men.

There is still some time before the Chinese New Year, so Xiao Zaiye is sending things home now so that his family can receive them before the Chinese New Year.

I bought some snacks that can be stored and some food.

Luckily, Gu Yao had sold something before and had several hundred dollars on her. When Gu Yao was about to take out the money, Xiao Zaiye held down Gu Yao's hand and said, "No need, I'll do it."

"Okay." Gu Yao didn't act pretentiously. He was the pillar of the family. It would definitely be unrealistic for her to take out so much money at once.

How do I explain to my man that I am rich?

Only the clothes were more expensive, and they also bought some food. They would never buy these things at home.

Rice, flour and grain had already been sent to my home when I left, so I don't have to worry about food for the time being. I can also buy some snacks for the New Year.

The New Year is coming soon, and my family members will definitely not be willing to buy these candies, and they don’t have the money to buy these snacks.

"Is it easy to buy candy at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Gu Yao looked at Gu Yao with blinking eyes.

Because Gu Yao saw someone selling candies.

"The New Year is coming soon, and everything in the supply and marketing cooperatives is selling very fast now." Xiao Zaiye meant that things in the supply and marketing cooperatives now have to be snatched away.

"Okay, let's buy it here," Gu Yao said as she walked to the candy stall. There were really a lot of people at the stall, but fortunately not many people were buying from each family.

Gu Yao asked for two kilograms, one kilogram for the Xiao family and one kilogram for the Gu family, and the things for the two families were packed separately.

Fortunately, they bought things quickly. Not long after they went out, they saw the entrance of the black market and people with red armbands walked over.

Gu Yao couldn't help but pat his chest and said, "It was a close call. I almost got caught by the red armband."

"What are you worried about? How can these few people catch anyone? There are so many people inside. Basically, nothing will happen," Xiao Zai Ye said indifferently.

Those who can come to the black market are basically in good health and have quick legs and feet. If they are slower, they will be caught.

The red armbands also have a mission, which is to catch a certain number of speculators every month. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, their mission has become even simpler.

Everyone is afraid of speculation and profiteering during this period. Everyone has this fear when it comes to buying and selling.

Most families are unwilling to make friends with speculators. If a family has commercial grain, the whole village will be envious.
