Chapter 15

“Wife,” Zhou Yi exclaimed and hurriedly carried Song Xi up horizontally. When the old man from the guesthouse heard the sound, he ran over to help and picked up the basket on the ground.

Oh my god, it was quite heavy. It weighed at least 20 to 30 catties. They did not expect this weak little girl to bring so many things back. However, the old man helped them carry the things to their room and turned to leave.

Previously, Song Xi had given him a handful of White Rabbit Milk Candy. That was enough. Moreover, looking at how nervous the male comrade was, he did not seem like someone who would hit his wife. Previously, he was worried that the female comrade would go out to seek death at night. It seemed like he had misjudged. She was not like that at all.

Zhou Yi carefully put Song Xi down. He had a stomach full of anger to vent, but seeing how tired she was, he could not say anything. He could only accept his fate and go to mix warm water to help her clean up.

Song Xi was not a real child. How could she not have such good judgment? She could naturally tell that Zhou Yi was about to lose control of his anger. Afraid that the fire would burn over, she slowly moved into the bed. In the end, it pulled on her wound and she gasped in pain.

Zhou Yi hurriedly sat over. “Wife, how are you? Let’s go to the hospital. There should be a doctor on duty at night.”

“I’m fine. It’s fine. I’ll rest first. Oh right, there’s food in the basket. Hurry up and take it out to eat. Don’t let it sit.” After Song Xi said that, she closed her eyes.

She guessed that Zhou Yi might not be able to buy dinner, so she took ten pieces of white sugar osmanthus cake, four pieces of boiled tender corn, and four tea eggs from the breakfast area of the supermarket. It should be enough for the two of them.

If it was not enough, there was still the wheat milk essence that Zhou Yi had bought during the day. When the time came, they could just make a cup each. Now that she had food and meat tickets, she could treat Zhou Yi to a good meal at the state-owned restaurant tomorrow.

Zhou Yi looked at Song Xi deeply for a while before taking out the things in the basket.

There were about ten white candles, two flashlights, two pieces of cured meat weighing about a catty each, two fat and oily cured ducks, five cabbages, and a bundle of wild rice.

There were also scissors, a kitchen knife, a cutting board, chopsticks, bowls, chopsticks, and spoons. There was a small bag of rice, millet, noodles, and flour each. The small bag weighed about five catties. Most importantly, there were two pairs of canvas shoes inside, which were his size. There were also personal toiletries. It was obvious that they were bought for him.

Zhou Yi’s eyes burned. His wife also took his matter to heart!

“Wife.” Zhou Yi was moved. He leaned over and kissed his little wife’s lips. He wished he could rub her into his bones and blood so that they could be together forever.

God knew how afraid he had been before. The old man had come to remind him, but it could not ease the suffocating worry in his heart.

If something happened to his wife, he might destroy the world…

But he didn’t have the ability, so he would only destroy himself.

“Ugh…” Song Xi, who suddenly felt like she was about to suffocate, struggled in a mess. Her small hands waved around weakly. It was only when she breathed in fresh air again that she opened her eyes. When she met the dark eyes of the person in front of her, she swallowed awkwardly.

“Wife, why do you have so many good things?” Zhou Yi was afraid that his wife would blame him for ambushing her, so he avoided her gaze.

However, ordinary people really couldn’t buy the things she brought back, especially the scissors and kitchen knife. Not only did they need tickets, but they were also very expensive. He had cut open so many kitchen knives at home, but he couldn’t bear to change them.

Seeing that Song Xi was about to get up, Zhou Yi hurriedly reached out to help her up. Song Xi leaned against the head of the bed and casually made an excuse. “I wanted to go out for a breather just now. As soon as I came out of the guest house, I saw that beautiful sister from the day running towards a place secretly. I was very curious, so I followed her for a few steps. I didn’t expect to hear her say that if she went late, the good stuff would be gone. Then, I followed her. I didn’t expect there to be a market at night. Many people were selling things. Then, I bought what we needed. You can wear the canvas shoes after autumn. This way, you don’t have to worry about your feet getting injured when you go to the ground.”

“But when we left in the morning, I didn’t see you take the money. Only I took 50 yuan from the box…” Zhou Yi had many questions that he needed her to answer.

“Actually, I saved this money when I was studying. I hid it in my tattered clothes. The Song family didn’t notice. Fortunately, the Song family didn’t throw away my tattered clothes. Instead, they threw me and my tattered clothes at your house. Otherwise, my private savings would have been gone long ago,” Song Xi said in an extremely glad tone. Then, she winked at Zhou Yi and smiled mischievously. She was extremely charming.

“My wife is quite impressive. You can still save so much money from studying. You have to know that we villagers might not be able to save so much money in a few years.” Zhou Yi still did not believe his wife’s words, but he believed her character, so he believed her!

“Wife, the place you’re going to tonight should be the night market. Private transactions are opportunistic, and the night market is dangerous, so don’t do such things again in the future. Leave everything to me.” His responsibility and mission were to let his wife live a good life.

“Okay.” After avoiding a scolding, Song Xi was in a good mood and naturally treated Zhou Yi better. She took out the dinner she had brought back and the two of them ate it together. Summer nights were hot and these things could not be kept overnight, so they had to eat them tonight.

Song Xi ate a piece of boiled corn, a tea egg, and a piece of white sugar osmanthus cake. The rest was eaten by Zhou Yi. The osmanthus cake was soft, sweet, and very delicious. Zhou Yi was also especially full. It seemed to be the most full he had been since he was young, and also the most satisfied.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them sat in the room and stared at each other. To Song Xi, it was a little embarrassing. There were no entertainment activities in this era. Most people went to bed when it was dark.

Song Xi decided that after her body recovered, she would come out to buy some books or newspapers to avoid having nothing to do and sitting there awkwardly.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was staring at her, Song Xi was very embarrassed. She avoided his gaze and looked at the wall, the cabinet, and the light above her head, refusing to meet his gaze. “Wife.” Seeing that his wife’s eyes were darting around and she did not dare to look at him, Zhou Yi could not help but shout. Was he that scary? Seeing that Song Xi was ignoring him, Zhou Yi could not help but shout again, “Wife.”

It was not until Zhou Yi called her “wife” for the third time that Song Xi gave him a reaction. “What? What time is it? Why aren’t you sleeping?”
