Chapter 13

Just as Song Xi was about to get him a steamed bun, Zhou Yi’s head suddenly leaned over and bit more than half of the steamed bun in Song Xi’s hand. He smiled and said, “It’s very sweet.”

“Brother Yi…” Song Xi’s face instantly turned red. He had actually bitten the steamed bun she was eating. This was not hygienic at all. Looking at the steamed bun in her hand that had been bitten, Song Xi did not know what to do.

If she threw it away, Zhou Yi would think that she despised him.

She couldn’t accept eating it because there would definitely be saliva on it.

Although Zhou Yi had fed her water and medicine a lot during the few days when she was unconscious, she could pretend not to know when she was unconscious. But now that she was awake, she could not pretend not to know!

Song Xi was in a dilemma.

Looking at his little wife’s confused and shy expression, Zhou Yi felt that she was extremely cute. His pure man’s heart was about to melt. He wanted to hug her and dote on her, but he did not dare to, afraid of scaring her.

Afraid that he would explode uncontrollably later, Zhou Yi quickly diverted his attention. He took out two new clothes from the bag on the table. “Wife, our marriage came in a hurry. The Song Family sent you over without even informing me. I’m really not prepared at all. I couldn’t even buy you new clothes. I bought you two new clothes today. See if you like them. I’ll continue to earn money and buy you beautiful clothes to wear in the future.”

Little ‘Song Xi’ might not know why the Song Family sent her to the mountains in a hurry, but after searching Little ‘Song Xi’s memories these few days, Song Xi felt that she knew the reason. Because high school was about to start, the Qian Family might be afraid that ‘Song Xi’ would cause trouble at school. After all, ‘Song Xi’ was eager to study, and the Song Family was afraid that ‘Song Xi’ would cause trouble and their money would fly away, so they hurriedly sent ‘Song Xi’ over.

Under Zhou Yi’s expectant gaze, Song Xi reached out and took the clothes from his hand. It was a blue short-sleeved shirt and black pants that looked a little like modern pants.

These two clothes added up to about 20 yuan, which was the total income of the people in the mountains for a year.

In this era where pork cost 90 cents a catty and eggs cost 70 cents a catty, no one was willing to spend so much money on clothes. Many families sewed and mended their clothes.

Of course, other than the rich. No matter what era it was, there were still some people standing at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, Zhou Yi was really generous to Song Xi.

Song Xi looked into the bag. There were no men’s clothes. He always ignored her for her sake, making Song Xi’s heart ache for him. “Why don’t you buy it for yourself? You usually work so hard. You should reward yourself with a new set of clothes!”

“I go up the mountains and into the fields every day. It’s a waste to wear new clothes. Wife, just help me wear them.” Zhou Yi was telling the truth. He spent most of his time going up and down the mountain. If he wore new clothes, it might be cut by tree branches. He might as well wear tattered clothes. As long as his wife wore them beautifully, he would be satisfied. “Wife, do you want to try them and see if they fit?”

“Many people have touched the new clothes. They’re not clean. I have to wash them before I can wear them. Don’t worry, they’re of the right size.” In this era, everyone was very thin. The clothes were almost of the same size and could be worn.

In the end, Song Xi still slowly ate the steamed bun that Zhou Yi had bitten. She did not know, but something in her heart was quietly changing.

The sun was setting in the west on a summer evening. It was no longer facing the house, so the light was not as blinding. Song Xi moved to the window and looked at the low-rise houses outside. She had seen many luxurious and spectacular villas and apartments in the modern world, so she did not have any other feelings about such houses. However, she had to admit that the houses in the commune were much better than the mud-brick houses in their mountains.

At least the house on the commune was made with bricks and tiles. There was no need to be afraid of the wind and rain.

Suddenly, there was a pressure on her shoulder. Song Xi turned her head slightly in surprise and almost bumped into Zhou Yi’s face. Her face turned red like a ripe peach, making it impossible for him to look away.

“Wife, let’s save some more money. We’ll build a house like this at the end of the year.” Zhou Yi rested his head on Song Xi’s shoulder and pointed at the house outside, looking like he was commanding the world.

Song Xi had seen that kind of video in the modern world. A person pointed into the distance and joked boldly to his lover, “Look, this is the country I’ve built for you.” At this moment, Zhou Yi gave Song Xi such a feeling. Song Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Wife, what are you laughing at?” As long as he moved a little closer, Zhou Yi’s lips would touch Song Xi’s cheek, but he did not. He did not want to be so eager for quick success. He wanted to be with her slowly and naturally.

“Nothing. I think the house can be smaller and the courtyard can be bigger. When the time comes, we can plant more vegetables and we won’t have to eat wild vegetables anymore.”

If they built a huge house with many rooms, the village chief would definitely arrange for the knowledgeable teens to stay in their house. At that time, she would be in danger because she had a huge treasure!

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhou Yi reached out his arms and tentatively wrapped them around Song Xi. Seeing that Song Xi did not resist, he wrapped them around her tighter. His little wife was planning for the future, which meant that his little wife would not leave him. This was a good start.

After a while, Zhou Yi turned Song Xi around and held her hands. He looked at her with a burning gaze. “Wife, do you believe that I can build a house by the end of the year?”

“If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn’t believe it, but Brother Yi, I definitely believe you. Brother Yi isn’t the kind of person who would brag. Since Brother Yi said such things, Brother Yi will definitely be able to do it.” Song Xi didn’t understand Zhou Yi, but she believed in him. She also had such a feeling in her heart that Zhou Yi could definitely do it.

Song Xi’s trusting words comforted Zhou Yi. He swore in his heart that he would earn money and let his little wife live a life better than the female comrades in the city.

After eating and drinking their fill, they became sleepy. The two of them took an afternoon nap together. Song Xi was very interested in the so-called marriage certificate.

She wanted to see how different it was from the modern red marriage certificate, so she did not sleep. Even though her exhausted body was already exhausted, she refused to close her eyes.

It was only when she heard Zhou Yi’s long and even breathing and confirmed that he was really asleep that she carefully reached out and reached towards Zhou Yi.

She touched the pockets on both sides of his pants first. There was no paper in them. Then she touched the pockets of his shirt. Again, there was nothing.
