Chapter 9 Open and Generous
Hearing Shen Zhishou say this, Yu Liren was completely stunned, especially since it was broad daylight!
"..."
Yu Li stared blankly at Shen Zhishou, wondering if she had married the wrong person again.
Seeing his newlywed wife's bewildered expression, Shen Zhishou was secretly amused. He figured his straightforwardness had probably startled his little wife.
"Just kidding!"
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wedding candy!"
"And I'll buy you a new outfit!"
In those days, ration coupons were required for almost all kinds of goods.
Generally, there are quantity restrictions for each type of ticket.
However, newlyweds can receive a number of coupons for free, such as sugar coupons, cloth coupons, cotton coupons, etc.
Shen Zhishou had already received all the receipts he could get for free when he got married, so naturally he wouldn't be a miser.
Most importantly, he has married such a beautiful wife in a flash, and she even has a city residency permit. He is determined to treat her well; he is not simply a lecher.
Of course, food and sex are human nature, but I am ill with them!
After hearing Shen Zhishou's additional words, Yu Li's uneasy heart finally felt a little more at ease.
She is not a greedy woman now, otherwise she wouldn't be dating Yan Jiecheng.
The two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative soon.
However, when buying clothes, Yu Li wanted to buy Shen Zhishou a new outfit.
"I bought this dress for my wedding anyway, so I don't need to buy another one. But you, you have to dress appropriately for work!"
At this moment, Yu Li has already taken on the role of Shen Zhishou's wife, and the qualities of a virtuous wife and loving mother have begun to emerge.
For men, face is very important in public.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "Good wife, you have to listen to me on this matter. Besides, a man's reputation comes from his abilities, not from a few pieces of clothing!"
"I love seeing you dressed up so beautifully!"
In the end, Yu Li couldn't resist Shen Zhishou's insistence and obediently bought the clothes that Shen Zhishou had chosen.
Although they still had some cloth coupons left, the two of them didn't have anything they needed to buy for the time being, so they stopped wandering around outside and headed straight for the state-run restaurant.
"Honey, I'll give you a proper wedding later. For now, let's have a meal together as a celebration!"
"Um!"
Yu Li responded shyly.
State-run restaurants during this period didn't offer as many variety options as restaurants in later generations, but they certainly met one requirement: large portions and plenty to eat.
The two of them ordered two dishes: stir-fried pork with scallions and tofu with minced pork, plus six steamed buns.
Shen Zhishou has a large appetite, but he doesn't necessarily have to eat his fill at every meal.
Of course, the reason why they have such a large appetite is ultimately because they don't have much oil in their stomachs.
Today we have two meat dishes, which are very juicy, so we don't need to eat too many steamed buns.
Yu Li eats very elegantly, chewing slowly and carefully.
Shen Zhishou did not wolf down his food; he was very restrained.
The two ate and talked for almost half an hour before finishing their meal.
After we've eaten, it's time to head back.
Yu Li's heart, which had been at ease for only a short while, was filled with anxiety again. What she had to face eventually had to be faced.
After returning to the courtyard, Yu Li was still feeling awkward. After all, she and Yan Jiecheng had just visited every household and delivered wedding candies not long ago, and now, just a few days later, they were back again.
"How about we just call it quits?"
Yu Li didn't know how to face the residents in the courtyard. She was already regretting that even if she divorced Yan Jiecheng, she shouldn't have married Shen Zhishou so quickly.
She must have been out of her mind before.
Shen Zhishou understood Yu Li's anxiety, took her hand, and said, "This isn't your fault!"
The more embarrassed you are, the more people will think there's something wrong with you!
"We fell in love freely, got married, and the country recognizes it. Who dares to say anything against us?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
Although Shen Zhishou comforted Yu Li, Yu Li was still uneasy, especially when she thought about facing the Yan family.
"Yu Li, you need to be more confident!"
"Believe me!"
In Shen Zhishou's view, Yu Li's marriage to Yan Jiecheng was a deception, and Yu Li was the victim, but the thinking of this era was somewhat problematic.
Even though Yu Li was the victim, when these people talk about this, they won't say anything about Yan Jiecheng or the Yan family; they'll only say that Yu Li was immoral.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to be assertive.
Anyone who uses foul language will be dealt with!
"Be open and honest. The Yan family tricked you into marriage; you're the victim. If you're not assertive enough, those gossipy people will only keep harping on you!"
"Listen to me, if anyone gossips, I'll beat them up for you!"
Perhaps it was Shen Zhishou's attitude that gave Yu Li courage, or perhaps Yu Li herself figured it out.
She changed into the new clothes Shen Zhishou had bought for her, and confidently linked arms with him as they visited each of the residents in the courtyard.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Teacher Yan and her family. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have met such a wonderful girl as Yu Li!"
"Yes, yes, we'll definitely have a banquet. We'll get the house ready first, no rush!"
"We all live in the same compound, so we'll definitely help if we can!"
……
From the backyard to the front yard, Shen Zhishou led Yu Li on a walk in a very open manner, chatted with the residents of the yard for a while, and also told them about his workplace.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
Even Jia Zhangshi didn't say a word.
When the two arrived at the Yan family's house in the front yard, Yang Ruihua was dumbfounded by the intimate behavior between Yu Li and Shen Zhishou.
Yang Ruihua only came to his senses after the two left. He was panting heavily, feeling suffocated but helpless. After all, if this matter really escalated, the Yan family would be in the wrong.
"Mom, who just came by?"
Yan Jiecheng came out of the house. He hadn't slept all night and was finally catching up on sleep, but he was still not fully awake.
Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's words and recalling everything that had happened that day, Yang Ruihua was filled with rage.
"Shut up!"
"Hurry up and wash your face, go out and find some work!"
"Spending all his time eating and being lazy, what will become of him in the future?"
Yan Jiecheng, who had been inexplicably scolded, walked out dejectedly. When he saw the candy on the table, his body reacted faster than his brain could, and he quickly grabbed a piece of candy and ran away.
Yang Ruihua was heartbroken when she saw this.
How did I end up with such a thing?
While Yang Ruihua was feeling down about her eldest son's incompetence, Shen Zhishou had already taken Yu Li back to the back room, closed the door, and bolted it shut.
"young married woman!"
Shen Zhishou picked Yu Li up and kissed her.
Hehe, he has a wife now!
Having come to this era, after being vegetarian for so long, I can finally break the habit of eating meat again.
Yu Li was initially somewhat resistant, but she quickly softened.
The two are already husband and wife, so this kind of thing is ultimately unavoidable.
Even though it was daytime, well, how could a little wife like her possibly resist her own man who was like a wild bull?
