Chapter 20 I'm sorry
After finally getting away from that place, after getting away from Gu Shuang.
The air seems much fresher now.
Their hands gradually loosened.
"I'm sorry about Gu Shuang, but her targeting you is definitely related to me." Qin Yunzhou paused, his gaze falling on Xu Sui.
Previously, Xu Sui had been harassing Gu Shu behind his back.
Gu Shuang accidentally witnessed this once, and from then on, she seemed to start targeting Xu Sui. In addition, Gu Shu was later recognized by the Gu family, and Xu Sui had that kind of relationship with Gu Shu, so Gu Shuang's hostility towards Xu Sui deepened.
"It's okay, I've already fought back anyway." Xu Sui shook her head.
Qin Yunzhou didn't continue talking about these unhappy things.
"The house has been approved. It's still early, would you like to go and take a look? See if there's anything you need to buy. I'm planning to go to Hongshan Brigade tomorrow to have the old carpenter there make some furniture."
The housing conditions in the family compound were not good. The location of the military base was too remote, and the supplies were not as good as in other places. The furniture was old and worn out, and if you wanted new furniture, you had to pay someone to build it yourself.
The most convenient place to reach the troops is the nearby Hongshan Brigade.
The brigade leader of Hongshan Brigade was a capable man. His family had been carpenters for generations, and his sons had all learned the craft. Although it couldn't compare to the skills of those in the city, it was practical, the materials were high-quality, and the price was reasonable.
Basically, if any family in the residential compound is missing any furniture, they will go to the nearby Hongshan Brigade to ask them for it. They can get it for you if you can think of it.
Xu Sui hesitated for a moment, "Let's take a look first. We're not in a hurry for the big furniture items. We can add them slowly later if we need anything else."
She hasn't forgotten.
Qin Yunzhou was still recovering from the injury she suffered after her marriage.
Although she had warned him, she didn't know much, and what if this couldn't be avoided and it really happened?
They will definitely have to leave the army temporarily and return to their hometown in the small county.
At that point, all those big items we made will have been wasted.
If you knew, building a large item wouldn't be cheap, especially now that it's a famine year and life is tough everywhere. To survive, many trees have had their bark stripped off, ground into powder, and eaten.
These days, if an ordinary family marries off their daughter, it's considered quite good if the bride's family can provide a dowry of thirty-two legs.
If we live frugally, we'll have to go back to our hometown and live with our whole family in a cramped space. There will be plenty of expenses.
Qin Yunzhou nodded. "That works too."
"Let me take you there first."
He had no objections. They weren't getting married for long, and as long as she didn't care, they could get furniture whenever they wanted.
"Okay, let's go then." Xu Sui didn't really like having several people living in a small dormitory, and since she didn't plan to stay in the performing arts troupe for too long, she was quite looking forward to where she would be living in the future.
The two walked side by side, not getting too close, since they weren't officially married yet.
The summer sun is very hot, and even the wind blowing is hot.
After walking for a short while, Xu Sui's forehead began to sweat, and her cheeks flushed slightly, making her appearance even more beautiful and dazzling. The white shirt under her military uniform was almost soaked with sweat.
My skin is naturally fair, so even a slight redness is very noticeable when I'm exposed to the sun.
She couldn't help but take out her handkerchief, wipe her sweat, and then try to block the blinding sun from shining directly on her.
Qin Yunzhou was a soldier, and even though he didn't pay attention to the woman's face, his eyesight was still amazing, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong with her.
"Wait for me under the tree for a moment, I'm going to buy something."
Xu Sui had long since wilted under the sun, her forehead sweating and listless.
Hearing that she could rest under the tree for a while, she quickly nodded, "Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
The place where they were now was a rare cool spot, thanks to this large tree that it would take several people to barely hug. Although there had been a drought for several years and many trees had died, this tree was not greatly affected and was still lush and leafy.
Qin Yunzhou left.
Xu Sui found a shady spot and sat under a tree to wait for him.
On such a hot day, she really didn't want to move.
As she waited, a young soldier noticed she was alone, paused, walked towards her, and handed her an unopened bottle of soda.
"Comrade, this is for you."
When Xu Sui looked up, she was met with a young soldier with red ears and regular features.
Whether it was her or the original owner, they looked the same, and since childhood, their outstanding appearance had attracted many people to chat them up.
She smiled politely and declined, saying, "No need, thank you. My fiancé went to buy it for me, he'll be back soon."
The other party was slightly taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, he still placed the soda next to Xu Sui and then quickly left before she could react.
"Here, take this. It's hot, drink more water."
Xu Sui: "..."
This soda isn't cheap; most people wouldn't buy it to drink.
However, the young soldier had only turned around and walked a short distance when he bumped into Qin Yunzhou, who was carrying two bottles of soda.
"Hello, Political Commissar..."
The two clearly knew each other and seemed quite familiar with each other.
Qin Yunzhou nodded slightly to the subordinate who was saluting before him.
After his subordinates had walked away, he went up to Xu Sui and noticed the soda she was holding. His eyes widened slightly.
Now there's nothing you don't understand.
At this moment, Xu Sui also saw the two bottles of soda in Qin Yunzhou's hand. She was a little surprised, realizing that he had gone to buy soda.
"Did Liu Yang give this to you?" Qin Yunzhou still handed Xu Sui a bottle of soda.
Xu Sui subconsciously looked in the direction the young soldier had left. "So his name is Liu Yang. Do you know him?"
"I know him. I taught him for a while." Qin Yunzhou sat down next to her, opened the remaining bottle of soda, took a sip, and the stuffiness in his heart seemed to dissipate a little.
"If I run into him another day, I will invite him back."
Liu Yang came from a rural area. His family was struggling financially, and he sent most of his monthly allowance back to his hometown. He lived frugally in the army and never spent money on things like soda.
Xu Sui nodded. "Thank you for your help."
I rested for a while.
The two finally arrived at the family compound.
As soon as I went inside.
They ran into many acquaintances, and many eyes, both open and covert, were fixed on the two of them.
If you're looking for a place where rumors spread the most, it has to be the family compound.
These days, the rumors about Xu Sui's entanglements with two men have spread to the point that even most of the children in the family compound know about it.
"Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen Comrade Xu Sui. You've become even more beautiful, like a flower in full bloom. Are you and Political Commissar Qin getting married soon?"
Before long, Aunt Zhang Xiufen, who often played matchmaker in the family compound, came over with a smile.
This person was none other than one of the old ladies who had blocked Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou at the door that day. The fact that these rumors about the three of them could spread so quickly must have been fueled by her behind the scenes.
