After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Xia Qingning had a puzzled look on her face. She was carrying the things she bought and was being pulled home by Mai Miao. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw a brand new bicycle parked there.

A circle of women gathered around the car, each with envious eyes, and when they saw her, they all said:

"Lu Er's wife, you are so lucky. Your husband bought you such a nice car as soon as he came back."

"That's not true. A Phoenix brand car costs more than a hundred yuan. It would take me half a year to afford it even if I don't eat or drink."

"Look, this saddle is made of cowhide. It must be very comfortable to ride."

"I'm so jealous. If you're jealous, ask your man to buy you one too."

"It's such an expensive car, he was reluctant to sell me the old one, let alone the new one."

There were those who were envious and those who were jealous. Zhao Cuilan watched from afar and murmured in dissatisfaction:

"It's good to be able to climb into bed. Men will be willing to buy anything expensive."

The car in front of me was painted in glossy black. The colorful phoenix logo on the faucet was extremely eye-catching. Even the seat cushion was stamped with the word "Phoenix". It was parked there, extremely eye-catching.

Looking at the car in front of her and listening to everyone's envious words, Xia Qingning was completely stunned.

After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Mai Miao said to Xia Qingning with envy:

"Brother Jingzhe, you are so good." After saying that, he pulled Xia Qingning's sleeve again:

"If you don't need it someday, could you lend it to me to ride?"

Xia Qingning came to her senses and heard Mai Miao wanted to borrow her car. She said with some embarrassment:

"It's not that I don't want you to ride it, it's just that this bike may not be bought for me."

"You are stupid. This is a No. 26 large bar, specially for women. Brother Jingzhe can buy it for any other woman except you." Mai Miao looked at Xia Qingning as if she was a fool.

After Mai Miao's reminder, Xia Qingning noticed that this bike was indeed smaller than the 26-bar bikes that Wu Xiaodong and the others rode. If Lu Jingzhe rode it himself, with his long arms and legs, it was impossible for him to buy a -bar bike. Was he really buying it for himself?

Xia Qingning walked into the house with doubts. She put the things she bought on the table and found that Lu Jingzhe was not at home. She turned around and asked Mai Miao:

"Don't you want to learn how to braid hair?"

"That bike...can you lend it to me when you have time?" Mai Miao still hasn't forgotten about the bike.

"Sure." Seeing her expectant look, Xia Qingning smiled and said, "But the prerequisite is that it has to be mine."

"Of course it's yours." Mai Miao looked confident, and then said to Xia Qingning: "Which style are we going to learn to weave today? I'm clumsy, so please don't look down on me."

After hearing her words, Xia Qingning thought for a moment and said, "Let's do the slanted one I did last time. It should be simpler."

Xia Qingning went back to her room, got a comb and a mirror, and began to teach Mai Miao. Gradually, she realized that when Mai Miao said that she was clumsy, she was not being modest. However, she did not show any impatience and continued to teach her carefully.

Xia Qingning's patience made Mai Miao feel embarrassed, and he sighed:

"I thought it was simple, but it turns out to be so difficult. Why is my hair so obedient in your hands?"

"Take your time. Once you master one method of braiding, you can create many different styles. They are all based on the same principle." Xia Qingning comforted her.

After Xia Qingning's repeated teaching, Mai Miao finally mastered the method. Although she didn't do it very well, she managed to learn it. Looking at the beautiful hairstyle in the mirror, she felt that she looked better. She was very happy. She put down the mirror and whispered in Xia Qingning's ear:

"I heard that you and Brother Jingzhe slept in the same room."

"Ah..." Xia Qingning didn't expect her to ask such a private question, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"It turns out that all men are the same. They say they don't like it, but their bodies are very honest." Mai Miao had an expression that said, "I know everything."

Xia Qingning: ...

They slept in the same room, but each slept separately and did not disturb each other. Just when Xia Qingning was embarrassed, she heard Mai Miao continue to say:

"Today he came to my house to visit my parents. I heard my mother ask him if he planned to have children, and he said..."

Mai Miao was about to continue speaking when he suddenly saw a pair of long legs step into the room, and he immediately swallowed back the rest of his words.

Xia Qingning subconsciously looked outside the door following her gaze, and saw Lu Jingzhe walking in in a neat military uniform.

"I'm going back." Mai Miao stood up and said. Before leaving, she suddenly came to Xia Qingning and blinked:

"Try harder tonight." After saying that, he ran out with a smile.

Xia Qingning looked at her blankly as she ran away. So what did Lu Jingzhe say? Why should she work hard?

At this time, Lu Jingzhe had already sat down. Xia Qingning looked at him and hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking:

"Um, the car outside..."

"I bought it for you." Lu Jingzhe said calmly, not thinking anything was wrong, and continued:

"I'll ride it to work from now on."

Xia Qingning was a little confused and didn't understand why he suddenly took such good care of her. After thinking about it, she guessed that he was a handsome and kind-hearted man. He felt pity for her when he saw that she was too weak, so he bought her a means of transportation to make her less tired.

He is worthy of being the male lead, with a broad mind and a big vision.

Although she and Wu Xiaodong had agreed to ride in his car in the future, the car had already been bought, and she couldn't ask him to return it. That would be such a bummer. Xia Qingning thought for a moment and said:

"Thank you." Then he asked, "How much is this car?"

Hearing this, and thinking of Xia Qingning's account book from yesterday, Lu Jingzhe frowned slightly and asked:

"Why are you asking this?"

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just curious." Xia Qingning blinked and said. In fact, she wanted to write it down, but she saw Lu Jingzhe watching him keep accounts yesterday and he didn't seem very happy, so she didn't plan to tell him.

Hearing her say this, Lu Jingzhe's expression softened and he said in a deep voice:

"158."

158 yuan is a huge sum of money in that era, and you need a ticket to buy a bicycle, which is even harder to get. Xia Qingning didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to be so wealthy. She was flattered and felt that she had made the right choice to hold on to this thigh.

He is so generous, should I return the favor? Thinking of this, he glanced at the net bag on the table, and then he remembered. He raised his hand and took out an enamel basin and a towel from it, handed them to Lu Jingzhe and said:

"I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some toiletries. I brought some for you as well. It's more hygienic to use your own."

Although this thing is nothing compared to the bicycle he bought for me, and I bought it with the money he gave me, it is still a token of my thought.

Lu Jingzhe looked at the things she handed over and took them without hesitation. He had a slight obsession with cleanliness, so these things came in handy.

It was a bit awkward for the two of them to sit like this. Xia Qingning looked at the fabric in the net bag, thought for a moment, and said to Lu Jingzhe:

"I'm going to go make something first."

After saying that, she carried the net bag into the house, put the things she bought on the cabinet, then took out the cloth and headband from it, and took out a few rubber bands from the original box.

When she walked out of the room, she found that Lu Jingzhe had already gone out and the bicycle had been moved to the corner.

She took the scissors from the wall. The color of Dacron at this time was brighter and more beautiful than cotton, and it was perfect for making hair accessories.

She cut the cloth into strips of different sizes and lengths, walked to the sewing machine outside He Shanshan's room, and started sewing.

While doing this, he waited patiently for He Shanshan to come back and question him.
