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

Although Mai Miao was somewhat puzzled by Xia Qingning's spending three yuan on a bunch of useless rags, he couldn't help but retort when he saw He Shanshan showing off in front of others like a pheasant with its tail spread out:

"He Shanshan, why are you so haunting? People can buy whatever they like, why do you have to control them?"

"I'm just curious and want to see what good things people who look down on this beautiful skirt would buy. Haha, it turns out they buy these." He Shanshan said while laughing, her teeth showing.

Mai Miao looked at the red dress she was wearing and suddenly felt that the dress was not pretty at all. Just as Xia Qingning said, it had a rustic feel.

"No matter what she wears, she looks better than you! You can only be jealous." Mai Miao said with a disdainful look at He Shanshan.

He Shanshan patted her newly bought skirt, looking very proud:

"It's so funny. I wear a 20-dollar skirt and she wears a pile of rags that cost 3 dollars. Why should I be jealous of her?"

"You're just jealous that someone is prettier than you." Mai Miao said bluntly.

At this time, the saleswoman had already tied up the cloth and handed it to Xia Qingning. Looking at her ribbon braided hair, she couldn't help but praise her:

"Your hair is so beautiful. You are so skillful. The clothes you make must be beautiful."

Xia Qingning smiled and took the cloth. She was not ashamed of He Shanshan's sarcasm. Instead, she said openly:

"When I run out of it, I'll buy it from you next time."

She bought such an expensive dress and put on makeup carefully, but no one praised her beauty. Xia Qingning wore a gray work suit and people praised her wherever she went. He Shanshan felt very unbalanced and squinted at Xia Qingning and said:

"Haha, you are addicted to buying rags. I think you are only fit to wear rags."

After saying that, he held his head high, chest puffed out, squeezed Xia Qingning and Mai Miao, and strode out.

"Why are you crowding like this? Your eyes are on the top of your head. Can't you see the road?" Mai Miao held his breath and growled at He Shanshan's back.

Compared to Mai Miao's anger, Xia Qingning was very calm, even a little happy. With so many beautiful fabrics, she could make several sets of clothes.

By the time she has made the clothes, He Shanshan will only be envious and jealous.

After buying the cloth, they saw that it was getting late, so they went downstairs to meet Wu Xiaodong.

At this moment, Wu Xiaodong was attracted by the cameras on the counter again. In that era, cameras were really rare things. They were only sold in department stores and were more expensive than bicycles and sewing machines.

Seeing that he was watching intently, Xia Qingning and Mai Miao also came over. Wu Xiaodong did not notice them and was still muttering to himself:

"What do these numbers mean?"

"These are the values ​​of aperture and shutter speed. By adjusting them left and right, you can control the amount of light entering and the size of the exposure." Xia Qingning said unconsciously.

The boss, who had not paid attention to this place at first, suddenly came over after hearing what Xia Qingning said, and said in surprise:

"Girl, do you know anything about cameras?"

Wu Xiaodong and Mai Miao also looked at Xia Qingning with confusion. Xia Qingning then realized that she had said some knowledge beyond her original body's cognition, but she did not panic and said softly:

“I saw reporters using it when a newspaper came to the factory to take promotional photos.”

"You know so much just by looking at it. It seems you have talent. How about buying one to try?" said the boss with a smile.

Xia Qingning had no interest in the cameras of this era, but she thought these cameras were great. It would be interesting to use the lenses to record some traces of this era.

She lowered her head to look at the price, which was more than 400 yuan. Although she was very interested in the camera, it was far beyond her current spending power.

She looked up, smiled and said:

"no need."

The boss didn't force me, but just told me to come back when I needed it.

After they walked out of the department store, Wu Xiaodong asked curiously:

"Sister Qing Ning, you really know a lot about cameras. Oh, by the way, why didn't I see any reporters coming to our factory for interviews?"

"Just a little." Xia Qingning lied with a forced smile: "It happened last year, when you hadn't come to the factory yet."

"Oh." Wu Xiaodong nodded, looked at Mai Miao next to him, and found that she seemed unhappy. He looked at her and asked:

"Sister Mai Miao, what's wrong with you?"

"I ran into a dirty thing, and it made a lot of chirping and noise, which affected my mood." Mai Miao replied.

Wu Xiaodong didn't understand what the dirty stuff in her mouth was. He looked at Xia Qingning beside him in confusion. Xia Qingning smiled and said nothing.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he took the car and took Xia Qingning in. Mai Miao also rode his bicycle, and the three of them rode home together.

When they were almost at the compound, they saw someone pushing a bicycle and selling popsicles. Xia Qingning looked at Wu Xiaodong, who was sweating profusely while pedaling. After thinking for a moment, she asked him to stop the bicycle, walked to the uncle selling popsicles, and said,

"Hello uncle, I want three popsicles."

The uncle replied cheerfully: "Okay."

After saying that, he opened the large blue wooden box on the back seat of the car, lifted the thick quilt covering it, and asked:

"We have banana and pineapple. What flavor do you want?"

Xia Qingning let Wu Xiaodong and Mai Miao choose for themselves, and then asked for a banana for herself.

After paying the money, the three of them walked into the yard together.

Mai Miao's anger had already subsided by a lot. He thanked Xia Qingning for the popsicle and went back to put his things away.

Seeing that Xia Qingning bought a lot of things, Wu Xiaodong volunteered to help her take them home. It was indeed a bit difficult for Xia Qingning to carry them by herself, so she agreed.

At this time, Lu Jingzhe was reading a book in the room. The window of the room was open, facing the yard. He turned a page of the book and inadvertently looked down at his watch.

Wouldn't she have come back at this time in the past? Why today... Just as I was wondering, I saw Wu Xiaodong carrying Xia Qingning into the yard.

He frowned slightly and turned another page of the book. After a moment, he suddenly put the book on the table without any warning and walked out of the room.

At this time, Xia Qingning and Wu Xiaodong had already entered the living room. Wu Xiaodong put the things in his hand on the table. Seeing Lu Jingzhe coming out of the room, he greeted him politely and said:

"Brother Jingzhe, you're at home."

Lu Jingzhe stood there with an upright posture, with an innate sense of alienation. He looked at him and asked with his thin lips slightly opened:

"Why, you don't want me to be home?"

Wu Xiaodong was stunned by the question. He just said hello casually, so how could Brother Jingzhe understand it so well? And why was there a hint of hostility in the way he looked at him?

That must be an illusion, Wu Xiaodong denied it immediately. He had never offended Brother Jingzhe, so how could Brother Jingzhe be hostile to him? Moreover, he also drove his wife to and from get off work every day, so even if he had no credit, he had worked hard.

Then I thought again, Brother Jingzhe has always been like this, cold and icy, so I stopped thinking about it and denied it with a smile:

"No no."

Lu Jingzhe looked at the smile on his face, and thought of how he had just joked with Xia Qingning in the same way. He suddenly felt unhappy and asked in a deep voice:

"You seem very free."

This familiar attitude, coupled with this familiar question, immediately reminded Wu Xiaodong of the fact that he had asked him to get soy sauce yesterday. He was afraid that he would ask him to get soy sauce again today. There were already two bottles of soy sauce at home, and if he got more, they would not be able to finish it. He quickly waved his hand and said:

"Not idle, not idle." After saying that, he looked at Xia Qingning and said:

"Sister Qing Ning, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

He was about to run out after saying that. Xia Qingning was packing her things. Seeing him running so fast, she quickly called him:

"Wait a minute." She picked up a green popsicle from the table and ran to the door, handed it to him, and said with a smile:

"You didn't take your popsicle."

Wu Xiaodong took the popsicle, waved to her with a smile, turned around and ran away quickly.

Lu Jingzhe looked at the two of them, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

She actually bought him a popsicle!
