The Pretty Military Wife

The county town is different from the countryside. They came out of the guesthouse and turned to the street behind the guesthouse, which is the main street of the county town.

The hustle and bustle of people coming and going here also made Liang Xinyue really feel the difference between the city and the countryside.

Seeing Liang Xinyue walking forward somewhat unconsciously, Zhou Guoliang reached out and pulled her over to protect her as he walked inside:

"Be careful. It's time to get off work. Some people are in a hurry to go home and cook. Riding a bicycle is a bit fast."

In fact, there are not many people riding bicycles, most of them are walking in a hurry.

Liang Xinyue also discovered that regardless of gender, most people wore blue, including dark blue, light blue, and navy blue.

Women rarely wear brightly colored clothes. The most eye-catching ones are probably white or white with small floral patterns.

Zhou Guoliang's green military uniform seemed more out of place, attracting many people to look at them.

There is a four-story building in front with four big words on the roof: Department Store.

Liang Xinyue, who had seen buildings hundreds of stories high, was actually a little amused to see that this small four-story house was called a building.

But relative to this county town, these four floors are now the tallest buildings.

"That's the department store. I've never been there either. Let's go."

Zhou Guoliang walked very quickly, and even in a crowd, he always seemed to find a suitable place to move.

Liang Xinyue would always miss a step because of bumping into or passing by others.

Every ten or so steps, Zhou Guoliang had to stop and wait for her to take two steps.

Later, Zhou Guoliang held her hand. Liang Xinyue's face and neck turned red.

He quickly trotted over to Zhou Guoliang's side.

Zhou Guoliang saw her little action and smiled slightly:

“I walk faster.”

When we arrived at the department store, there were quite a few people coming and going.

Maybe it is as Zhou Guoliang said, it is now time to get off work, so more people come to this department store.

The two entered the department store, looked around, and then Zhou Guoliang took Liang Xinyue directly to the place where clothes were sold.

Most of the clothes sold here are workwear-style, white shirts, dark blue pants. There are workwear jackets like those in factories, and there are also jackets with small lapels, but these jackets are made of better fabrics and seem to be more expensive.

The most expensive one is probably the bright red woolen coat hanging in the middle.

The dress had a small square collar that was slightly tight on the upper body and had a hem below the waist. It should have been the most fashionable style in that era.

I remember seeing people wearing it in my previous life, but it looked a bit rustic at that time.

Maybe Liang Xinyue looked at the clothes for a few more seconds, so Zhou Guoliang asked the salesperson how much the red woolen clothes cost.

When Liang Xinyue, who had just learned to understand the prices of goods in that era, heard that the dress cost eighty yuan, she was shocked.

He quickly pulled Zhou Guoliang to indicate that he only needed to buy the white shirt, a light blue jacket, and a pair of trousers.

Zhou Guoliang didn't say anything, and felt a little regretful that he had asked Xiao Wei to take out too little money.

But he still bought Liang Xinyue two new sets of clothes as she wanted, and then took Liang Xinyue to buy a pair of black leather shoes and two pairs of light-colored socks.

"That's enough, we're not going to buy any more, are we?"

To be honest, I have worn so many kinds of clothes in modern times, and I really don’t like these simple styles. They are just for covering up and keeping warm.

Liang Xinyue's satisfaction made Zhou Guoliang smile:

"I wanted to buy you some more things. They may not be available there."

"Then I'll buy another set of autumn clothes and autumn trousers?"

To be honest, I didn’t know about autumn clothes and autumn trousers. Because in this era, who would wear autumn clothes and autumn trousers in the countryside?

It's getting really cold, and people put on as many clothes as they can. Some people wear clothes that have been patched for five or six years, but they don't have any cotton coats.

People in the countryside are reluctant to buy knitted clothes such as autumn clothes and autumn trousers.

Zhou Guoliang looked at Liang Xinyue and said:

"You really don't need to buy that. We get it every year when we get to the army. I'm not afraid of the cold, so I almost never get one. This year when you go, I'll get a smaller size and let you wear it."

Liang Xinyue turned her head and looked at Zhou Guoliang with some surprise. This guy knows how to live.

Zhou Guoliang thought Liang Xinyue didn't believe he would give out clothes, so he explained:

"In fact, I haven't spent much money in the army these years. The country has solved our food and clothing problems. I just need to do my job well and serve the country."

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"very nice."

When leaving the department store, Zhou Guoliang held things in both hands. At this time, the street lights were on, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Liang Xinyue still looked around while walking.

Zhou Guoliang thought for a moment and said:

"Go ahead, there's a state-owned restaurant, let's go have some food."

Liang Xinyue followed him into the restaurant.

State-owned restaurants have a plan for what dishes to cook every day. I saw that the dishes they wrote today were braised potatoes and stir-fried pork with green peppers.

But when Zhou Guoliang went up to ask, they said that they were all sold out, and there was still some rice and some pickles, which were free.

Later I ordered two bowls of noodles and some steamed buns that were left over from the morning.

Liang Xinyue only ate noodles, but she saw that Zhou Guoliang not only ate a bowl of noodles, but also ate all four steamed buns.

Liang Xinyue sighed secretly, this guy can really eat a lot, he can be full with just one such big steamed bun.

Zhou Guoliang dipped the steamed buns in the noodle soup and ate it with relish. Seeing Liang Xinyue watching him eat, he chuckled and said:

"Do you think I eat too much?"

Then he wiped his mouth and said:

"We soldiers all eat a lot. When we get home and know the situation at home, we just need to eat a little."

After eating and paying for the food coupons, Zhou Guoliang introduced some things in the county town and said:

"Tomorrow morning, we have to go out early. I'll ask Xiao Wei to stay and show you around. Also, you can come to this restaurant to eat by yourself, just like we did just now. You tell them what you want to eat, and they'll serve it to you. After you eat, you just pay for it and get the food coupons. I'll give you the money and coupons when we get back later."

Liang Xinyue didn't say much. She either hummed or nodded. She followed Zhou Guoliang obediently back to the guesthouse.

The guesthouse is also a four-story building, and Zhou Guoliang's dormitory is on the third floor.

After entering the gate of the guesthouse, Liang Xinyue suddenly realized that she had escaped from the clutches of the devil by following Zhou Guoliang in the army.

But what about the future? Do I really want to be his wife?

It's dark now, what should I do tonight?

Thinking about these messy things in her mind, Liang Xinyue mechanically followed Zhou Guoliang to his room.

This room is very simple, with only two single beds.

There was a three-drawer table and a chair in front of the window. That was all there was in the room.

Zhou Guoliang put his things down and said:

"Xinyue, you take a rest first, I..."

"report!"
