Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 176 The Educated Youth on the Island 40

"I can't even fill my stomach, how can I have the energy to appreciate these things! It's worth it if I can exchange them for a few bags of rice to save my life."

Gu Nuanyi was extremely grateful that she had the space as a support, and in her first life, she had her ancestors and grandmother to protect her. If she had nothing, she would not even survive the first life.

Pei Yucheng saw Gu Nuanyi staring at the bracelet in a daze, sighed and pulled her into his arms: "Nuannuan, things will get better and better in the future!!"

Gu Nuanyi came back to her senses and leaned in Pei Yucheng's arms. She was not worried about her future life. After the college entrance examination in 77, the economy would develop so fast.

It is 72 now, and there are still 77 years to go until 5. By then, my children will be almost 3 years old, and I will not be unable to spare time to take care of them.

After the college entrance examination, when reform and opening up come, I can also follow this trend and do something big.

Pei Yucheng lowered his head and kissed Gu Nuanyi's forehead: "Nuannuan, I'll take you to the small western-style building this afternoon! I will report to the army tomorrow. I dare not let you accompany the army when you are pregnant. If you are not used to living in the small western-style building, you should return to the compound!"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Okay!"

After waking up from a nap, Pei Yucheng took Gu Nuanyi out.

The small western-style building is not far from the compound, just two streets away, and it only takes 20 minutes to walk there.

So Pei Yucheng didn't ask Xiao Lu to drive him there.

Pei Yucheng supported Gu Nuanyi and took it as a walk

Pei Yucheng pointed to the three-story building in front and said, "We're here!"

It is called a small western-style building, but in Gu Nuanyi's opinion, it is more like a small single-family villa.

The three-story house is surrounded by a wall, and one wall is covered with creepers.

It looks green and nice from the outside, but the ivy is harmful to buildings. Its roots will grow in the cracks between bricks, and it will destroy the wall over time.

It's not safe to live in a house like this!!!

Grandpa Pei had already hired someone to clean the small house. If you want to move in, you just need to wipe the dust off.

Gu Nuanyi walked around the rooms on the third floor and said, "I like this house very much, but it's too big and empty for me to live in alone. I still want to live in the courtyard."

Living in the compound, there are people cooking and cleaning every day, so Gu Nuanyi doesn't have to do anything.

This is much more comfortable than living alone in a small western-style building.

Pei Yucheng nodded: "Indeed, I am worried about you living here alone. We already have a Zhou Sao at home. It is not good to hire someone else to take care of you, lest some people get jealous and report you. But I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable living with grandpa. After all, the old man's schedule is different from ours."

"It's okay, Grandpa is easy to get along with. I can live with him and practice Tai Chi with him."

Pei Yucheng thought of the day when Gu Nuanyi was practicing Tai Chi with Grandpa Pei, and said with a smile, "You! You were practicing Tai Chi with Grandpa that day, and Mrs. Zhou was scared. She was afraid that something bad would happen to you."

Gu Nuanyi tilted her head and looked at the ivy outside the small house: "Acheng, when you are free one day, see if you can find some people to deal with this ivy, and check if there is any damage to the wall. When my parents come back, we can live here together."

"it is good!"

After visiting the small western-style building and returning home, Gu Nuanyi told Grandpa Pei that she wanted to continue living in the compound.

Grandpa Pei was so happy when he heard that Gu Nuanyi wanted to continue living in the compound. At his age, he likes his family to live together the most.

"Okay! It's amazing that you're willing to accompany an old man like me!"

The next day

Xiao Lin was waiting outside the door early in the morning. Today was the day Pei Yucheng was going to report to the army in Beijing.

Gu Nuanyi also got up early to see him off.

Pei Yucheng held Gu Nuanyi in his arms and rubbed his chin against her head. "The army has strict discipline. I may not be able to come back every day. You must take good care of yourself at home! Ask Mrs. Zhou to buy whatever you want to eat. You have such a big belly, so don't run around everywhere, okay?"

"Acheng, I'm not a child anymore, why would I run around?!"

Pei Yucheng lowered his head and kissed Gu Nuanyi's pouting lips: "I'm worried about you. I'll come back to see you whenever I'm free!"

"Well! You have to take care of yourself in the army too!!"

Pei Yucheng walked out, looking back every few steps. Even Grandpa Pei couldn't stand his hesitation, so he beat Pei Yucheng out with his cane: "It's not like you're never coming back, why are you being so hesitant? I'm here to look after this house, what can go wrong?"

Pei Yucheng yelled and rushed out: "Ah~~ Grandpa, please don't hit me!!!"

Gu Nuanyi covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Pei Yucheng looked at Gu Nuanyi lovingly and waved at her: "Let's go!"

Gu Nuanyi also waved her hand obediently; "Bye."

After seeing Pei Yucheng off, Gu Nuanyi yawned. Pei Yucheng had gone to report too early, and it was not yet his usual time to get up.

Grandpa Pei: "Xiao Nuan, go to sleep if you are tired! I am going to have tea and play chess with old man Qian next door."

"Okay! Grandpa, drive slowly."

"Don't worry, Xiaolu is with us!"

Beijing City Troops

The commander of the capital city personally received Pei Yucheng

"Comrade Pei Yucheng! The 1123rd Unit of Beijing City welcomes you!"

Pei Yucheng saluted respectfully: "Hello, Commander!"

The commander looked at Pei Yucheng with appreciation and said, "You completed the mission very well. The higher-ups are planning to reward you. Tell me what you want and I'll do my best to get it for you."

He was promoted and transferred back to Beijing. Pei Yucheng couldn't think of anything else he needed.

He scratched his head and said, "Why not give me more money? My wife likes shopping."

The commander opened his mouth and said, "Your request... is really simple and unpretentious!!!"

Pei Yucheng chuckled: "Who doesn't like money?"

The commander also smiled: "Okay! I'll apply for you according to the highest standards. Your wife likes shopping, so does she need a foreign exchange bill?"

"It would be great if we have foreign exchange bills." He could just give it to me directly, saving him the trouble of having to find connections to exchange it.

Besides, things that are obtained through public channels are always better than those obtained through private channels. At least things that are obtained through public channels can make the people above less suspicious.

the other side

Gu Nuanyi had a nice nap. When she woke up, Mrs. Zhou brought a bowl of bird's nest to her and said, "Madam, we will have lunch soon. Can you have a bowl of bird's nest to fill your stomach for now?"

"Sorry for bothering Madam Zhou"

Gu Nuanyi sipped the bird's nest and saw that the room was so quiet, so she asked, "Is Grandpa not back yet?"

"Mr. Pei and Mr. Qian are playing chess. They won't be back until lunchtime!"

Living with Grandpa Pei, Gu Nuanyi did not feel oppressed. On the contrary, Grandpa Pei respected Gu Nuanyi very much.

Mrs. Zhou would always ask Gu Nuanyi for her opinion on what to eat and drink.

Worried that Gu Nuanyi would be bored at home, she would ask Mrs. Zhou to accompany Gu Nuanyi out for a walk.
