Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 193 Reward
After washing up, Tao Qiuyi put on a light cotton coat and braided her long hair, letting it hang down in front of her chest. She went to the next room for breakfast and saw Li Zi and Xiao Huai sitting at the long table in front of the fireplace studying.

"Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law." Seeing her come in, Li Zi and Xiao Huai greeted her in unison.

"Good morning." Tao Qiuyi smiled and walked towards the two of them. "Wow, you two young people are so diligent! Studying so early in the morning."

"Sister-in-law, you..." Before Li Zi could finish her words, Wei Jingyuan's low voice came, "It's getting late, come and have breakfast. We'll go out after you finish breakfast."

Pausing, Tao Qiuyi turned his head and replied to Wei Jingyuan, "I'll be right there."

He turned around, smiled and praised Li Zi and Xiao Huai, then turned around and went to the square table to have breakfast.

Li Zi tried to speak several times, but was stopped by Xiao Huai.

After finishing a steamed bun and porridge, Tao Qiuyi felt still not full. She couldn't finish the second steamed bun halfway through. She looked at the half steamed bun in her hand and felt worried. She couldn't finish it, but it was a pity to throw it away.

These days, supplies are severely scarce and many people have to survive on coarse grains. Even so, there are still many people who cannot get enough to eat.

White flour steamed buns are considered a refined grain and can basically only be eaten during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

A large hand with distinct joints appeared before his eyes, and Tao Qiuyi looked at the owner of the hand in surprise.

"Give it to me if you can't finish it." Wei Jingyuan said.

Tao Qiuyi was stunned when she gave him the leftovers. The scene of eating canned fruit that day suddenly emerged in her mind. She took a bite of the fruit, but she didn't want to eat it anymore because it was too sweet.

If you put it aside, he will misunderstand and eat it without changing his expression.

He ate the fruit she had bitten without any complaints, and she tore the steamed bun into pieces to eat, so the leftovers should be nothing to him.

"Thank you." After thinking it through, Tao Qiuyi decisively placed the remaining steamed bun in his hand and gave him a grateful smile. She picked up the water Wei Jingyuan had poured for her earlier and drank it slowly.

"You're welcome." It didn't matter whether she ate or not; the most important thing was that she smiled at him. Wei Jingyuan's depressed mood, which had been caused by Tao Qiuyi not taking the marriage certificate as seriously as he did, suddenly improved.

Seeing that he couldn't suppress the corners of his lips, Tao Qiuyi was puzzled but didn't ask.

Seeing him finish half a steamed bun in a few bites, Tao Qiuyi put down his water cup, stood up, took the thermos, added some water to the cup in front of Wei Jingyuan, and then cleared the dishes.

Tao Qiuyi stopped holding the chopsticks and looked at Wei Jingyuan. "What's wrong?"

"You sit for a while, I'll go wash the dishes and be back soon." After saying that, Wei Jingyuan took the chopsticks from her hand and took them to the kitchen to wash along with the bowl.

Tao Qiuyi wanted to say there was no rush, but before she could open her mouth, Wei Jingyuan's back had already disappeared through the door. Tao Qiuyi was puzzled. When did this man become so considerate?

Oh, by the way, he just said that he would go out after she finished breakfast. Today they were going to get the real marriage certificate. Tao Qiuyi hurried to the next door to change clothes.

After washing the dishes, Wei Jingyuan didn't see Tao Qiuyi, so he turned around and went out again. When he came to the door of the next door, he didn't knock or go in directly, but waited at the door.

Soon Tao Qiuyi changed her clothes and opened the door. Wei Jingyuan saw what she was wearing. He lowered his eyes to glance at his clothes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

Today she was wearing a white knee-length cotton coat, black cotton trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes of the same color as her trousers. It matched perfectly with his black cotton coat, blue cotton trousers, and black cloth shoes.

"What's wrong? Don't I look good in this?" Tao Qiuyi walked out of the doorway, stopped in front of Wei Jingyuan, and tilted her head to look at him. "It looks good. Very good." Wei Jingyuan said whatever was on his mind. Only after he finished speaking did he realize what he had said, and his face felt slightly hot.

He was blushing, so innocent, remembering how hard he kissed her. Tao Qiuyi wanted to tease him and deliberately said, "Is the dress prettier, or am I prettier?"

Wei Jingyuan didn't even think about it and blurted out, "My clothes aren't as pretty as yours."

This time, not only his face was hot, but his neck was also hot.

Wei Jingyuan had no idea that he was being led by the nose by her. No, perhaps he did realize it, but he was just willing to be led by her.

"Good taste." Tao Qiuyi smiled proudly, remembering her aunt's shocked expression when she took the fabric and cotton to ask her to make clothes. "White clothes are beautiful, but they don't last long."

Wei Jingyuan said, "It doesn't matter. You can wear whatever color clothes you want. White clothes are no exception. Just be happy. If your clothes get dirty, I'll wash them for you."

This sentence touched the softest part of Tao Qiuyi's heart, and a feeling of being touched surged into her heart. This also led Tao Qiuyi to make a bold move and grab the clothes on Wei Jingyuan's chest.

Pulling him down, she kissed him on the cheek. Without letting him go immediately, Tao Qiuyi said proudly, "This is a reward for you."

Maintaining a bent-over posture, Wei Jingyuan was stunned by her sudden movement. After hearing her words, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

He liked this reward very much.

So what if he was led by her? With such a reward, he was willing to be led by her by the nose for the rest of his life.

"Um... I don't mean to disturb you, it's just..." A voice sounded, intermittent. Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that he is very embarrassed at the moment.

Tao Qiuyi immediately withdrew his hand, Wei Jingyuan stood up straight, and they both looked towards the source of the sound.

At the courtyard gate, Huang Hao looked at the two of them with an awkward smile. In his heart, he was envious. The couple had such a good relationship, and Wei Jingyuan was also so lucky.

Looking at Tao Qiuyi's pretty face and graceful figure, Wei Jingyuan really felt like he had found a treasure.

Holding Tao Qiuyi's hand, Wei Jingyuan led her to the gate of the courtyard. He stood in front of Huang Hao, blocking Huang Hao's gaze from Tao Qiuyi, and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"

He noticed the way Huang Hao looked at Qiu Yi just now.

"It's okay, I'll go now..." Huang Hao also realized his impoliteness just now, and turned around and wanted to leave. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he quickly turned back and said, "Something, that..."

"I came to ask if you would like to take a bullock cart."

Fearing Wei Jingyuan might misunderstand, Huang Hao quickly explained, "This is what happened. I'm going to town today to look at some materials, so I rented an oxcart. Last night you said you were going to town today, so I came to see if you had left."

I can’t tell you what I saw afterwards. I will tell my wife quietly when I get home.

"Yes, we will. Thank you, Comrade Huang, for remembering." The person who answered was Tao Qiuyi. She was also going to the brigade to rent an ox cart.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Huang Hao smiled and said to Wei Jingyuan, "Let's go."

"Yeah." Wei Jingyuan just responded, holding Tao Qiuyi's hand and following behind Huang Hao.
