Chapter 322 Invite Comrades to Dinner
But Gu Jiandong had no intention of reminding him at all. Seeing his wife so happy spending money on buying things, he was happy too.
He is still capable of supporting his wife. She can buy whatever she wants. There is no need to save money. As long as she is happy, it's fine.
"Gu Jiandong, the patterns and colors of these two pieces of cloth are pretty nice. They will definitely look good if I use them to make clothes for you."
Shen Shuyu touched the fabric and gestured on Gu Jiandong's body.
"You buy yours, you don't have to buy anything for me. I have plenty of clothes." The army would issue two sets of clothes every quarter, which he could not even wear out, so why would he buy cloth to make clothes?
Shen Shuyu didn't listen to him and pulled twenty feet of cloth.
He looks handsome in military uniform, but he can't wear it every day. He has to wear two different ones occasionally when he is resting.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong went to the tailor shop. She went in and took a look. There were several sets of clothes hanging on the wall of the tailor shop. The styles looked good, but she had enough clothes, so she didn't need to make any more clothes.
It would be nice to ask the master to make two pieces of clothes for Gu Jiandong. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Jiandong whispered in her ear, "Shu Yu, you don't have to spend money to make clothes for me. I can do it myself."
Okay, her husband Gu Jiandong knows how to manage his life. The cloth has been bought, so let him go home and make it himself.
The two men left the tailor shop, and the old master, who was taking a nap on the recliner with his eyes squinted, never opened his eyes.
It's not easy to come out, and today is a big market. The two bought a basket of things, and the white radish had to be taken down. Gu Jiandong also hung a bag of things around its neck.
"Shuyu, what else do you want to buy?"
"No need to buy anything. Let's go back." If Shen Shuyu wanted to buy something, she could buy a snakeskin bag after walking around twice, but they couldn't carry so many things. Their hands were already full of things, and their backpacks and snakeskin bags were also full.
Gu Jiandong couldn't secretly put things into the space, so he could only buy these today.
They bought so many things and when they got back to the car, their sisters-in-law were secretly shocked, thinking that they were not going to be able to live with so many things.
They had never seen anyone come out to buy so many things. They were almost emptying the market.
The sisters-in-law thought so in their hearts, but did not say it out loud.
When the car arrived at the gate of the family compound, everyone went back to their own homes. The sisters-in-law who dared not talk in the car began to visit each other.
"It was a big deal when Deputy Group Leader Gu and his wife went out. The things they bought were piled up like a mountain, and there was even something hanging around the dog's neck."
"It seems to me that Deputy Head Gu doesn't know how to manage his daily life. Who would go out and buy so many things? This isn't a festival."
"We don't dare to buy such things during the New Year or other festivals. We don't have much money. We have elderly parents and children to support..."
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong didn't know what they were talking about, but it was Wang Chunmiao's wife who came over and told her about it.
"Those are just gossipy women. Don't take them to heart. You just arrived and your family has nothing. You must want to buy everything. It's normal to buy more things."
Shen Shuyu knew that she bought so many things today and others would definitely talk about it, but she didn't care.
They have mouths on other people's bodies, so let them say a few words. What's the big deal? It won't hurt her.
At most, she will be labeled as someone who doesn't know how to live.
Shen Shuyu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to her. "You just arrived. There is nothing at home. I have to buy everything. Plus, when Gu Jiandong and I got married,
His comrades can't go, so we plan to cook a few dishes at home and invite them to have a meal. Tomorrow, I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law to come over and help, otherwise I can't handle it alone."
Wang Saozi’s husband is the battalion commander and is under the command of Gu Jiandong. Tomorrow, Wang Saozi’s husband will be invited to dinner.
"Hey, what's my business? I'll come over early tomorrow morning. I have a lot of cabbages at home. I'll pick a few tomorrow."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I was just thinking of exchanging some cabbages with you."
"What's the point of talking about whether to exchange or not? Cabbage is not worth much. If you want to eat it, just go to my house and get it."
"My sister-in-law spent a lot of effort growing the cabbages, so there's no reason for me to take them for free."
When Mrs. Wang went back, Shen Shuyu packed three egg cakes for her as a trade for cabbage.
A few days ago, the boy was clamoring for egg cake, but Sister Wang was reluctant to buy it for him. Now Shen Shuyu gave it to her. She refused several times, but she finally accepted it with a smile.
Her son Zhu Qiangguo saw his mother holding an oil-paper bag, and stopped doing his homework. He ran over and asked, "Mom, what are you holding? Is it an egg cake?"
"I only know about egg cakes. Have you done your homework?"
Zhu Qiangguo just stared at her mother without saying anything. Wang Chunmiao had no choice but to take out a piece of egg cake and said, "This is given by the aunt next door. Remember to call her if you see her."
Zhu Qiangguo was so happy to eat the egg cake, "I know, I know, Uncle Gu has a big black dog at home, it's grown strong, I'll go say hello and play with the big black dog later."
Zhu Zhiyong came out of the room and kicked his son, "What are you playing for? Finish your homework first."
He then said to Wang Chunmiao, "I will go to Deputy Commander Gu's house for dinner tomorrow night. You don't have to cook for me."
"Sister Shuyu asked me to come over to help, so I'll go over there tomorrow."
Zhu Qiangguo shouted, "Mom and Dad, what about me? What should I eat?"
"Of course you ate at home. You can cook whatever you want. You are such a grown-up and still need me to serve you."
Zhu Qiangguo: “…” He is only eight years old.
As soon as Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong got home, they decided to invite their comrades to dinner. The main reason was that they had gone out to buy some food today and Gu Jiandong happened to have a day off, so they had to arrange it.
He went out for a while and told his comrades.
They had enough vegetables, but Jiang Ziqiang was worried that they didn't have enough food. Not long after Gu Jiandong returned, he came to their door with a bag of food, which was cornmeal.
"I exchanged this with my fellow villagers."
As the eldest brother, he was like Gu Jiandong's biological father, and he took care of Gu Jiandong very attentively. "Brother Jiang, I'll cook noodles. You sit for a while and eat the noodles before leaving."
Gu Jiandong was loosening the soil in the yard with a hoe. As soon as he arrived, Gu Jiandong asked him to do hard labor.
After buying seafood, Shen Shuyu made seafood noodles and steamed a pot of oysters.
The seafood noodles made with fresh seafood are sweet and delicious.
Jiang Ziqiang and Gu Jiandong ate three big bowls. Fortunately, Shen Shuyu made large portions, otherwise it would not be enough for two grown men.
Shen Shuyu spent a lot of time decorating this home. The home is very warm. Jiang Ziqiang envied his brother. It is better to get married.
Unlike him, who was alone in the dormitory, listening to their loud snoring every day, like thunder, and had to cover his ears when he went to sleep at night.
However, if asked to apply for a house to live in himself, Jiang Ziqiang would not live there. He does not have a wife, so there is no need for him to apply for a house.
