Chapter 114 Honor is meant to be proclaimed everywhere.
Shu Yun glanced at Gu Jun, who was dressed in a neat and tidy military uniform. Yesterday, the young couple had a big fight, and Shu Yun couldn't control her claws and scratched several red marks on Gu Jun's body.
Seeing Shu Yun's thoughts, Gu Jun moved closer to her and couldn't help but squeeze her hand. Although Shu Yun was slender and petite, her hands were plump and soft to the touch. Gu Jun liked to hold her hand and take the opportunity to rub and squeeze them.
"What are you thinking about? Didn't Ah-happy catch the car thief yesterday? The newspaper found out about it and wanted to come and interview him, mainly Ah-happy."
Shu Yun: "Okay, she's overthinking it."
Huang Ju and the people from the newspaper seemed to know each other. They exchanged a few warm words and readily let them go. "Let's go to the family compound for the interview. By the way, is A-happy home today?"
That hits the nail on the head. Ah-happy might not even be there. "Let's go back and check first."
Several people were waiting for Shu Yun at the door. The newspaper had applied to the military for permission to come and interview her. In addition to Gu Jun, the deputy regimental commander and the person involved, a regimental commander and a battalion commander also came to accompany her, which showed that the military also attached great importance to this external publicity work.
Shu Yun organized the urgent work for the day and explained it to Kang Xianqin and the others. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll head over now. I should be back this afternoon."
As Shu Yun was about to leave, Kang Xianqin whispered in her ear, "You and your husband have such a good relationship. We just saw you two holding hands."
"Us?" That's where Shu Yun's focus lies.
Kang Xianqin: "Yes, we were all standing behind you at the time, so we could see it quite clearly."
Shu Yun turned around stiffly, met their gazes, forced a smile, and left. It was too embarrassing!
When they got home, Ah happy was indeed not there. Shu Yun had no choice but to search for the dog around the compound with Gu Jun and the others. In the end, Shu Yun, who understood the dog's nature better, found Ah Xi in a muddy ditch.
Its fur was covered in filth, and it was incredibly strong!
When Ah happy saw its owner, it happily shook its fur, splashing a group of people around it. Shu Yun pulled Gu Jun back with practiced movements, narrowly dodging Ah Xi's attack.
The interview had to be postponed for a while, since Ah-happy was going to be on camera anyway. We had to take her back and give her a bath before the interview could begin.
The interview mainly involved recounting what happened yesterday, and also inquiring about the training Ah-hsi usually does, the food he eats, etc. It was a standard interview and ended quickly.
Finally, the interview team wanted to take a photo. "Commander Gu, you can sit next to your spouse, and A-happy can just squat between the two of you."
"Yes, the two of them should get a little closer and smile."
The newspaper acted quickly, and the next morning's paper featured a report about the dog that caught the car thief.
Gu Jun had been keeping an eye on it since early morning. As soon as the newspaper was on the shelves, he bought five copies at the newsstand and went home. When he got home, he waved the newspaper around and said, "Look, it's in the newspaper."
Shu Yun looked at the thick stack of things in his hand in surprise. "Why did you buy so much?"
Gu Jun counted them, "Not many, exactly five portions."
He explained his plan: "One copy for you, one copy for me, and one copy each for my parents' family, my maternal grandfather's family, and my aunt's family. It's just right."
Shu Yun sighed, "Fine, whatever makes you happy." Anyway, it's his own pocket money, so he doesn't care as long as he doesn't mind.
She flipped through the newspaper and saw a family photo of the three of them. Shu Yun looked at it and felt that she was smiling too foolishly, Gu Jun was smiling too fakely, and A Xi... A Xi was too stupid. Once was enough; there was no need to watch it repeatedly.
She closed the newspaper. "Here, you can have this one too. I've finished reading it."
Gu Jun: "Okay, we can cut it out and hang it on the wall."
Shu Yun looked up at the wall. Besides the photo of the two of them, there was also a newspaper article praising her work. Now, another one was going to be hung up?
However, seeing Gu Jun's excited appearance, Shu Yun thought it best to let him be; as long as he was happy.
However, Gu Jun reminded her that it was already autumn and the weather was getting cooler, so she needed to go to the city to buy some things to send back home. She needed to buy cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, cotton-padded shoes, and of course, candy and pastries. She also needed to buy nutritional products such as malted milk powder and milk powder. Shu Yun rummaged through the tin box and was very satisfied with the money stored inside.
She chose a time when both of them were free, and Shu Yun, who wasn't short of money, went shopping with her assistant. She bought some for her aunt, one for her grandfather, one for Gu Jun's parents, and also some for Gu Jun's older brother and younger sister.
When Gu Jun finished his morning activities, he was carrying a lot of things in his hands and on his shoulders, but they didn't have a car, only a small bicycle!
Fortunately, they bought a lot of things, and the sales clerk became much more enthusiastic. Seeing their predicament, the clerk took the initiative to go to the warehouse and get a rope to tie up the packages. He then put them on the back seat of the car and told Gu Jun to take them back first, while Shu Yun waited in the city.
And so, many people in the residential compound saw Gu Jun ride past them on a bicycle loaded with packages. "All this stuff must have cost a lot of money!"
"Xiao Gu's salary over the past few years has all gone into this. Shu Yun doesn't know how to manage money; she spends it too extravagantly."
"That's not necessarily true. Shu Yun can also earn money, and the young couple doesn't have many expenses on a daily basis, so it's normal for them to have extra money. Unlike us, we have several children in the family, and we have to stretch every penny."
Some people had positive opinions, while others had negative ones, but deep down they were all envious. After all, who doesn't like spending money without any burden and just buying whatever they want?
The countryside in Northeast China is quite busy after autumn arrives. Farmers are busy harvesting wheat and corn, and several women are busy drying grains and crops in the threshing ground. They chat as they work, making it quite lively.
Wang Xiuwen (Gu Jun's mother) wiped the sweat from her brow and took out a few pieces of beef jerky from a small cloth bag placed under the shade of a tree. "Old man, eldest son, eldest son's wife, third son, come and rest, have some beef jerky."
Wang Xiuwen emphasized the words "beef jerky" and, noticing the looks from those around her, took a bite of the jerky with a smug look. It was delicious!
As soon as the family heard there was beef jerky, they put down their farm tools and ran over, drawn by the aroma. The youngest sister, Gu Yuanyuan, who had a sweet tooth, ate a piece and tried to take some from her mother's cloth bag, but was slapped hard. "What are you doing?" Wang Xiuwen said protectively.
Gu Yuanyuan touched her reddened hand and said aggrievedly, "I'm not full. Give me another piece, Mom. I want to eat more."
Gu Yuanyuan tried to act cute, but the stern-faced Wang Xiuwen wasn't buying it. She shoved her annoying daughter away, saying, "Go away, what a big face you have! You only have one face, don't even think about anything else."
After saying that, Wang Xiuwen carefully wrapped the small cloth bag containing the beef jerky and put it back into the cloth bag.
She glanced at the unlucky girl, and lo and behold, those green eyes were fixed on the strips of meat in her hand. Would she give them to her? She quickly ate them in a few bites, gulped down some water, and felt refreshed.
She tapped her daughter's head and said, "If you have half the filial piety of your second sister-in-law in the future, I'll be burning incense in gratitude."
Everyone found it amusing. "Xiuwen, you haven't even met your second daughter-in-law yet, and you're already so fond of her?"
