1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 7 The Embarrassment of Borrowing Clothes
"Captain, could you please ask my sister-in-law to lend my fiancée a set of clothes?"

After everything was said, Qin Haonan rubbed his hands, looked at Mu Weidong embarrassedly, and told him his proposal. When Mu Weidong heard this, he was immediately angry at this boy. This boy was so shameless. He was just trying to please Tao Xiangdong, and now he started to ask his wife for help.

I really don't know where this kid gets the confidence from.

Forget it, who made him like this guy? What's more, this guy's fiancée almost got into trouble, and Xu Chunni from their art troupe was involved. This matter can be regarded as the fault of their army.

"Okay, follow me to find your sister-in-law."

After saying that, Mu Weidong stood up and planned to take Qin Haonan to find his wife to talk about this matter. It was getting late and the boy's wife should be tired. They should finish the work as soon as possible so that the girl could rest early.

She's also a poor girl.

Qin Haonan smiled when he saw Mu Weidong agreed so readily. He followed Mu Weidong with a smile on his face.

The two people walked towards Mu Weidong's house, one in front and one behind.

In fact, what they didn’t know was that as soon as Gu Qingwu arrived at the courtyard that Qin Haonan applied for, the family members in the family compound got the news.

Many family members who were optimistic about Qin Haonan began to murmur.

In addition, Gu Qingwu was dirty, so the family members started to talk bad about her behind her back.

It's unfair for an ugly girl to be paired with the battalion commander Qin Haonan.

What Qin Haonan looked down on Gu Qingwu and despised Gu Qingwu.

Anyway, it didn't take long for gossip about the two of them to spread throughout the family compound.

Of course Mu Weidong's wife also heard about it.

After seeing the two people, one in front and one behind, she was a little dazed, especially when she saw Qin Haonan.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here to ask for your help."

Qin Haonan was actually a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, he came empty-handed.

However, regarding the matter of borrowing clothes, there is no time to lose.

It’s not easy to lend his clothes to Gu Qingwu, right?
Everything would be fine if they were married, but they haven't gotten married yet. If he really gave the clothes to Gu Qingwu, Gu Qingwu's reputation would be ruined, which wouldn't be acceptable.

"what's up?"

Chen Hongxia asked with a bright smile, no matter why Qin Haonan came to her for help, she would not refuse.

"Well, sister-in-law, when my fiancée came, something happened and she lost all her belongings. I didn't prepare any clothes for her at the moment, so I wanted to borrow some from you. I'll return them to you tomorrow when I bring her back to buy some."

Qin Haonan said a little embarrassedly. He said he didn't have the confidence to ask his sister-in-law to borrow clothes. How could he ask someone to do something for him without even bringing basic gifts?

When Chen Hongxia saw Qin Haonan's embarrassed look, she knew that he must be feeling embarrassed.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Men tend to be rough when doing things. She believed that Qin Haonan would make up for the gift.

Of course, she doesn't care about these things. Her man is the leader of the group. When his subordinates encounter some troubles and need help, she will lend a hand. Lending clothes is not a big deal.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qin Haonan thanked Chen Hongxia gratefully. Even though he knew that Chen Hongxia had a straightforward personality, he did not expect that Chen Hongxia would agree to lend him the clothes so readily.

To be honest, everyone's financial situation was not good at that time, and those who could lend things out were all well connected. He appreciated this kindness.

"Dong dong dong."

Gu Qingwu, who was packing in the room, heard a knock on the door, walked out of the room, opened the door, and saw Qin Haonan standing straight. She was a little stunned, as she thought Qin Haonan needed to wait for a while.

I didn't expect it to come so soon.

"These are my sister-in-law's clothes."

Qin Haonan was slightly stunned when he saw Gu Qingwu washing the dust off her face and neck. He always knew that Gu Qingwu was good-looking, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingwu would become so beautiful when she grew up.

This was the first time they met after more than ten years of separation. To be honest, it was impossible to say that there was no feeling of strangeness. Besides, they had both grown up and were different from when they were children. They were still an engaged couple.

Men are visual animals. Regardless of others, just talking about himself, Qin Haonan believes that he will not be tempted, but when he sees a good-looking woman, he will still take a few more glances.

"Thank you."

Gu Qingwu took the clothes Qin Haonan handed over and looked at the clean clothes in her hands, which were neatly folded. Gu Qingwu felt a little complicated for a moment. There were quite a few clothes and fabrics in her space, but unfortunately, it was not convenient to take them out.

If it was easy to take out, she wouldn't have to wear other people's clothes at this time.

"You're welcome."

Qin Haonan felt that there was no need for them to be so polite to each other. After all, they were going to become husband and wife soon.

Of course, this was just his inner thoughts, and he couldn't say it out loud if asked. They could be said to be strangers now.

"Go wash up and have a good rest after that. I'm leaving first. I'll bring you food later and pick you up tomorrow morning."

After Qin Haonan finished speaking, Gu Qingwu nodded. After seeing Gu Qingwu nod, Qin Haonan turned and left. After seeing Qin Haonan turn and leave, Gu Qingwu closed the door and went back to wash up.

……

"What's going on with Xiao Qin?"

On the other side, Chen Hongxia was looking at Mu Weidong curiously. She always felt that something seemed to have happened to Qin Haonan that she didn't know about.

She was a little curious, and also wanted to know whether Qin Haonan's fiancée was easy to get along with.

"That boy's fiancée almost got into trouble."

The rest cannot be said. The matter on Xu Chunni's side still needs to be investigated, and Tao Xiangdong's side also needs to be investigated. Only after making sure that Tao Xiangdong is indeed fine can we rest assured. These things are not something Chen Hongxia can know.

"If Xiao Qin's fiancée needs anything in the future, please lend a hand if you can."

Alas, she was a poor girl. Her parents were gone, and her grandparents, uncles and aunts could not tolerate her. If her father had not been a good person in the village, the child might have been sold by that family by now.

Chen Hongxia rolled her eyes when she heard this. How could she not know what her man meant? Her man was saying that there was nothing in this matter that could not be told to her. If he couldn't tell her, then don't ask. It didn't have much to do with her anyway. She just needed to know and help if she had the chance in the future. However, if the girl had a bad temper, then she would talk about it then.

Anyway, her man has a lot of subordinates. This woman is different from them, the soldiers. Women have more little thoughts. Not to mention others, just talking about herself, she has a lot of little thoughts.

However, there was no need to tell these grown men these things. Even if she told them, they might not understand, and they might even dislike women for being too nosy. So she simply didn't say anything. Anyway, it was enough for her to know these things in her heart.
