Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Gu Yanli took out the clothes and said to her, "Wear this today."

Looking at the new clothes she took out, Wen Tang felt that it was not just a simple trip.

As he put on his clothes, he asked, "Why are you taking me to the county town?"

"You're not going on a blind date, are you?" Wen Tang suddenly craned her neck and asked curiously.

Gu Yanli “…”

Could your brain be any more absurd?

"What? Do I like to find hats to wear?" Gu Yanli asked.

As Wen Tang pulled up her pants, she said, "It's cold, so it's normal to wear a hat."

"Really?" Gu Yanli asked with a half-smile.

Wen Tang readily changed his tune, saying, "Hehe, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense."

Wen Tang was beautiful, a rare beauty in the surrounding area, a beauty who was blessed with good genes from her parents.

She has a pair of bright, sparkling eyes and a fair, radiant face; she is both beautiful and charming.

She didn't realize how much she looked in the past when she wore those coarse cloth clothes from the village, but now that she's wearing cashmere sweaters and coats, and a bright red scarf, her appearance has improved dramatically, like she's taken an elevator.

Gu Yanli thought, if I take such a photo with me, won't I be even less able to sleep at night?

"When will you come to see me in the spring?" He knew that Wen Tang would not go with the army, so he could only hope that someone would come to see him soon.

"Spring?"

"Springtime won't work!"

"They'll definitely be busy making soap then!"

"I don't have time!"

"When are we going?" Gu Yanli didn't know that one day his voice would unconsciously carry a hint of grievance.

"It's hot, it's hot, let's go."

"I'll go when it's hot at home."

Gu Yanli thought about it for a while, and could only nod and say, "Okay!"

Going is fine as long as you're willing to go; it's better than not going at all.

Two months of hot weather is fine too.

After agreeing on this, the two went out.

Wen Tang amazed Gu Yanli inside the house, but Zhong Meixian and the others were amazed when they came out.

The old lady rubbed her eyes and asked her eldest daughter, "We have guests so early in the morning?"

Gu Jinfeng nudged her with her elbow and laughed, "You old lady, you're really good at pretending to be confused. What guest? That's clearly your sister-in-law."

"Xiao Tang, oh my, I didn't even recognize you."

Zhong Meixian quickly gestured for someone to come closer, "Xiao Tang, you look... beautiful!"

"Just like city people."

"No, they're prettier than city people." Although Zhong Meixian hadn't seen many city people, the only ones she'd met were the educated youth from the production brigade.

But among those educated youth, none were as beautiful as her daughter-in-law.

No wonder her son said back then that beautiful women are sought after after having children.

They even said that this woman is prettier than the girls in the city's performing arts troupe.

Looking back at those words now, Zhong Meixian has to admit that although her son's words were a bit harsh, his judgment was indeed better than hers.

Gu Jinfeng also pulled the person aside, saying, "Sister-in-law, when did you buy these clothes? They're so beautiful."

"Yan Li brought it back before the New Year."

"Yan Li bought it?" Gu Jinfeng pushed the person around in a circle. "You know what, he's quite good at buying things. It fits quite well."

"So lovely."

Zhong Meixian proudly said, "How could your sister-in-law not be beautiful?"

“Your brother is one of the most handsome young men in the area, so your brother’s wife is naturally a beautiful girl who is one in a hundred.”

Seeing the old lady's proud expression, Gu Jinfeng could only go along with her, saying, "Yes, yes, you are very lucky."

Zhong Meixian was pleased with the compliment, saying, "That's right. When I was young, people said I had a lucky face."

Amidst exclamations of amazement and praise, Wen Tang finished her breakfast.

After they finished eating, Gu Yanli pushed his bicycle and handed her a military overcoat, which she then draped over her shoulders and sat on the back of the bicycle.

These days, if you get up early in the morning, the mud outside is still frozen hard, and it makes a "crunching" sound when you step on it.

Wearing a cashmere sweater and a cashmere coat is fine if you just stay indoors, but if you want to go out and take a car, you'll freeze solid.

Wen Tang honestly put on a military overcoat over his cashmere coat, wrapping himself up like a quail, and then got on his bicycle.

Wrapped up tightly, Wen Tang arrived in town without feeling a chill.

When they arrived in town, the two went to ride a tractor. Since it was only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there were only five people on the tractor, including the couple, so they had plenty of room.

The couple sat on one side, and the other three sat on the other side.

We bumped along like that towards the county town.

It's truly outrageous.

As Wen Tang was being tossed around, she thought: Luckily, I didn't coax Yueyue over, otherwise wouldn't that be a death sentence?

Later, she obediently grabbed Gu Yanli's arm, which reduced the number of times she took off.

We bumped along like this until we reached the county town.

By the time we arrived in the county town, it was almost ten o'clock. The sun was already high in the sky, and it was getting warmer as we walked around.

There were many pedestrians on the road, walking in groups of several people, each carrying something in their hands.

Most of the peach shortbreads were canned, indicating that many people were going out to visit relatives and friends during the New Year.

Wearing a military overcoat, Wen Tang followed Gu Yanli like a penguin as she walked. "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the photo studio!"

"Photo studio?"

"Okay, let's take a picture," Gu Yanli said, raising his hand to tidy her hair that had been blown about by the wind.

"Even if you're not going with the army, I still need to bring a photo with me!"

"That makes sense!" Wen Tang agreed wholeheartedly. "Let's go take some pictures."

Gu Yanli didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She laughed because she was quite considerate; she could understand his actions.

She cried because she could understand everything except that he wouldn't go with her to the army, preferring to let him see the photos and remember her.

Although it was a county town, the main urban area was not very big, and the photo studio was found quickly.

Perhaps because it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there weren't many people at the photo studio, so they were able to get their photos taken as soon as they arrived.

Before the photographer could even speak, Wen Tang tightly hugged Gu Yanli's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

Three photos were taken in total: one photo of the two of them together, one solo photo of Wen Tang, and one solo photo of Gu Yanli.

"Keep the receipt safe. You can pick it up in three days."

After leaving the photo studio, the two went shopping at a department store.

Wen Tang bought a can of milk powder and some tea.

Milk powder was in short supply at that time, and just one can cost her six yuan and eight mao. She also had to pay for a food coupon. Wen Tang even chose to buy the cheapest one.

Tea was also expensive, so Wen Tang couldn't bear to buy anything else.

The two ate lunch in the county town, which cost more than two yuan.

While eating braised pork, Wen Tang couldn't help but mutter, "It's a good thing your allowance is high, otherwise just one day's expenses would have wiped out your salary."

"It's not like I spend money like this every day."

As Wen Tang ate her braised pork, she gave him a thumbs up, saying, "You're a good man. You don't mind that I spend money recklessly."

After being praised as a good man, Gu Yanli took his men to weigh out five more catties of meat after the meal.

Then the two returned home laden with their loot.

Sitting on the tractor, Wen Tang couldn't help but ask, "When we get back, will Mom say I'm wasting money?"

Gu Yanli told her, "It's okay, just say the meat was bought for her to eat."

Wen Tang "..."

She seemed to understand why her mother-in-law was bent over; it was because she was carrying the burden of the pot.
