Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

Shu Yun ate with refined manners. After Gu Jun finished his breakfast in a few large bites, he sat down to wait for Shu Yun to eat. When he inadvertently glanced at Shu Yun's profile, his gaze was unconsciously drawn to her, and he found himself lost in thought.

Shu Yun felt uncomfortable being stared at, especially noticing Shen Rujun's teasing gaze. Embarrassed, she kicked Gu Jun's foot on the table floor and glared at him, "If you're not full, then eat some more."

Gu Jun's gaze lingered on Shu Yun's slowly reddening ear tips for a few moments. Seeing Shu Yun's embarrassment and anger, he touched his nose, stood up, and said, "By the way, my comrades gave me some loquat syrup, but I don't like it, so I brought it over for you."

He took out a glass jar tightly wrapped in newspaper and handed it to Shen Rujun, saying, "Loquat syrup. It can stop coughing and works quite well. You can try it."

Shen Rujun was flattered. The temperature difference between night and day had been large these past few days, and she had caught a chill. Her throat was itchy, not serious, but she had been coughing for several days. She was grateful that Gu Jun had noticed. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Gu Jun. I'll make some and try it later."

As she spoke, Shen Rujun took the loquat syrup into the kitchen, leaving the space back to the two young people.

Shu Yun thanked Gu Jun again, then, remembering the sketch she had drawn, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Wait for me a moment."

As she spoke, she ran a few steps to the bedroom and handed Gu Jun the sketch she had worked on over the past two nights. It was the overall layout of the small bungalow in the military family compound where they would soon be moving in. The house and courtyard were clearly drawn, from the overall floor plan to the placement of each piece of furniture, all of which reflected Shu Yun's thoughtful consideration.

Gu Jun was amazed by Shu Yun's painting skills and memory. She had only been there once, yet she could paint the details so clearly and distinctly. "Beautifully painted."

Since there was already paint at home, it was more intuitive and clear. Shu Yun pointed to one of the spots and said, "Look, this is our living room. I'm thinking of putting up a screen on the left side of the living room near the main entrance to separate it from our living room."

“We’ll put a dining table on the other side. We’ll eat here from now on. There’s a window right next to it, so there’ll be plenty of light. We can put a vase there and put some fresh flowers in it…” Shu Yun pointed to the location on the sketch.

In addition, Shu Yun also adjusted the positions of the wardrobe, chest of drawers, and sofa, placed a small shoe rack at the door, and laid a carpet on the floor.

Gu Jun's face lit up when he heard "we". "Okay, whatever you say. I'll get someone to come and beat you up later."

He couldn't wait to move into his and Shu Yun's new home.

After Shu Yun finished eating and said goodbye to Shen Rujun, Shu Yun sat on the back of the bicycle, and Gu Jun slowly drove her to the city's largest department store to shop.

They had already bought quite a lot of things last time, so this time they came to fill in any gaps. The department store had a wide variety of items, and they basically bought everything Shu Yun wanted.

Gu Jun rode his bicycle to the military supply vehicle parking area, put the things he bought into the bike, and waited until it was almost time for him to call his parents the day before. Then he took Shu Yun to the post office.

Gu Jun: "My parents called yesterday, and I told them I got married. They want to get to know you."

As he said this, he had already arrived at the post office.

Shu Yun nearly jumped off the back of the bicycle and poked Gu Jun's waist and abdomen several times. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" She wasn't prepared at all.

"I only received the call yesterday, just say hello," Gu Jun reassured her.

Before Shu Yun even entered the post office, she could hear the phone ringing inside. She nervously tugged at Gu Jun's sleeve, "What am I supposed to say in a bit?"

Gu Jun put his arm around the person and walked inside, comforting him, "My parents are very nice people, just exchange a few pleasantries. They just want to hear your voice. You took over their long-suffering son, and he's a college student. They cherish you and don't have time to worry."

Although Gu Jun said that, her heart was pounding when he answered the phone. Even though the other person couldn't see her, she still unconsciously tugged at her clothes and tidied her hair.

Gu Jun: "She's here. I'll have her answer the call."

Shu Yun unconsciously straightened her back. "Dad, Mom, I'm Shu Yun."

Gu Jun leaned to the side, smiling as he watched the girl calling his parents in a soft voice.

Although Wang Xiuwen was really looking forward to her daughter-in-law, the thought that the gentle girl in front of her was a college student made her lose half of her confidence. "Oh, Xiaoyun, I'm Gu Jun's mother, Wang Xiuwen."

After greeting everyone, Wang Xiuwen didn't know what to say, so she pulled Gu Minsheng, who was listening intently, over and covered the microphone, saying, "You come here."

Gu Minsheng usually just buries himself in his work in the fields. He's not good with words, and could only manage to say, "Hello, hello."

The tension on the other end of the line inexplicably made Shu Yun relax a bit. "Hello, Mom and Dad. My wedding with Gu Jun was rushed. I'll come back to see you two next time Gu Jun gets some leave."

Gu Minsheng had a very good impression of his daughter-in-law, whose voice was gentle and refined on the other end of the phone, and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, you two just need to live a good life together."

Wang Xiuwen recovered by now, snatched the phone, and said, "Xiaoyun, Gu Jun has a bad temper. If he ever upsets you, just call me and I'll take the bus over to beat him up."

Wang Xiuwen had a loud voice, and Gu Jun, who was leaning next to her, could hear their conversation clearly. His face darkened. "Mom, speak properly."

Shu Yun covered her mouth and chuckled.

Wang Xiuwen was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be scared away, so she quickly added, "Xiaoyun, don't worry, Dajun is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Don't be fooled by his cold demeanor and quiet demeanor. But I assure you, Dajun will definitely love his wife and treat you well."

Gu Jun's face gradually brightened, but Shu Yun had only just met Gu's parents. After exchanging a few pleasantries and inquiring about their health, she fell silent.

She winked at Gu Jun, who was still watching the drama unfold, signaling him to take the phone. But Gu Jun didn't move for a long time, only giving her a mischievous smile.

Shu Yun held her breath, stretched out her long leg, and stomped hard on Gu Jun's black leather shoe, leaving a footprint. Her wide eyes looked like an angry kitten. She didn't have much of an aura, but she made Gu Jun instantly back down.

He took the phone. "Okay, Mom, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. I'll take Xiaoyun to have her picture taken later and send it to you."

Wang Xiuwen then hung up the phone, satisfied.

Shu Yun complained softly, "How could you be like this? I almost didn't know what to say."

Gu Jun: "I see you and your parents have a lot to talk about, so I don't want to interrupt you. Also, usually when I call, the old lady complains about the phone bill and hangs up after a few minutes. But look at you now, your wife answered, and she doesn't want to hang up. Your treatment has been upgraded."

Shu Yun pulled Gu Jun's hand away, "We're on the street, don't pull each other like that, be mindful of your behavior."

Next, the two went to a photo studio and took a few photos together, but they could only pick them up a few days later after the photos were developed, so they put them aside for the time being.

Shu Yun thought of Shen Rujun, whose cough hadn't gotten better for a long time, and didn't want her to still be unwell when she left. She tugged at Gu Jun's sleeve and said, "Come with me to the hospital. I'll get some cough medicine."

"Okay." I turned the handlebars of my old bicycle and rode towards the city hospital.
