On the road leading to Yunshan County, two carriages were driving slowly.
Although the weather today is very nice and sunny!
But it’s still cold!
The winter in Saibei is like a tigress at home. Not only does your temper explode, but it also makes you feel low pressure even when you are not angry.
The cold wind blew by, and the exposed skin instantly felt like it had been scratched by a dull knife, it hurt!
But several people in the car were in a good mood, especially Baoer and Li Youwei!
The little girl was sitting in her grandma's arms, with a cotton curtain draped over her body, chattering non-stop.
It is said that children have no inhibitions, and some of her words always make the adults in the family burst into laughter!
Li Youwei on the side was also in a good mood. Since becoming pregnant, she felt that some of the things that were pressing in her heart seemed to have disappeared.
Before, she had been worried that Zhou Yang would leave her and Bao'er and go back to the city alone, or even divorce her.
But after experiencing so much, she finally believed that Zhou Yang really liked her and would not abandon her and Bao'er.
In addition, she had gained the approval of her parents-in-law and was pregnant again. Feeling that the little life in her belly was growing day by day, her mood became better and better, and the eyes she looked at Zhou Yang became more and more gentle.
Seeing his wife's face turned red from the cold, Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask: "Is it cold? If it's cold, just squeeze in with Bao'er to keep warm!"
"It's not cold. The new cotton-padded coat we bought from the capital is really nice and warm. It's even more effective than a sheepskin coat!" Li Youwei said.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "It's true that it looks good, but it's not warm enough!"
"What's wrong?"
"Haha, it's not too cold today, and there's not much difference between a cotton-padded coat and a big fur coat. But when the weather gets really cold, look again, a sheepskin coat paired with a dog-skin hat is still warmer!"
"That's true!"
Then Li Youwei looked at the two people on the carriage in front with some envy and said, "The clothes issued by the army are better. They look thin, but they are very warm!"
"And those cotton shoes with suede rubber soles, they look so domineering!"
Zhou Yang also looked at Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong. Since there were no cotton-padded clothes suitable for them, the two of them were now wearing cotton-padded clothes, trousers and woolen cotton shoes issued by the army.
What's more important is that each of these two people has a military coat!
Wearing these standard clothes and matching their temperaments really make people look majestic and domineering.
Especially Liu Yunlong, this guy is from the south. Although his face is a bit dark like Fan Debiao, he has a healthy bronze color.
In addition, he has the unique sense of elegance of a southern young man. He looks like a soldier who is fierce and decisive, but also has the quiet delicacy of a scholar.
So in the past two days, many people have quietly asked Zhou Yang if this young man was married and if he had a partner.
"By the way, is Comrade Liu married?" Li Youwei asked in a low voice.
"Why do you ask?"
"I didn't meet Aunt Xiulan this morning. She thinks Comrade Liu is quite good and wants to ask her Shiqing about it!" Li Youwei said.
"Aunt Xiulan... the Shiqing you are talking about is not that girl Tan Shiqing, right?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
"Yes, except for that girl, there is no one named Shiqing in our village!"
"No... no, how old is that girl? Liu Yunlong is already 24, which is seven or eight years older. Isn't this nonsense!" Zhou Yang said hurriedly.
Because Zhou Yang's voice was a little high, Liu Yunlong in front heard his name and immediately asked: "Is there anything you can do to call me?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Ask if you have a partner!"
He did know that Liu Yunlong was not married, but he didn't know if he had a partner.
Now that it’s mentioned, let’s ask so that we can reply to others in the future.
"This really doesn't exist!" Liu Yunlong said loudly.
"I know, I'll introduce you to a suitable one later!"
When Zhou Yang said this, he didn't know why, but the famous scene in the movie "Wrangler" suddenly sounded: "Old Xu, do you want a wife or not..."
He couldn't say that he might have to have a "Brother Yunlong, do you want a wife or not" with Liu Yunlong in the future? Thinking of this, Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing!
.......
An hour and a half passed while talking and laughing, and the county seat was already within easy reach!
Zhou Yang was already familiar with the layout of Yunshan County, so after entering the city, he did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Instead, he took the money to the credit cooperative first.
When Zhou Yang came to deposit money with a bag of banknotes, he really shocked the credit union staff.
These days, even if ordinary people come to save money, it is only a few dozen yuan, and the top dollar is a few hundred yuan.
There are people like Zhou Yang who carry their satchels to save money, but they are from various corporate units, and there are almost no individuals!
However, no one will investigate the source of your funds these days. Although he was shocked, the staff of the credit union still went through the deposit procedures for Zhou Yang.
At this time, the amount in Zhou Yang's family passbook had reached 10,000 yuan, 10,276 yuan to be precise.
Ten thousand yuan can be regarded as a truly huge amount of money these days. In terms of purchasing power, it is comparable to tens of millions a few decades later.
Even in the capital, this money is enough to buy a large courtyard with two entrances.
Zhou Yang originally wanted to earn money to buy a house and save for tuition. In just half a year, he already had a house and enough tuition.
Therefore, when he came out of the credit union, he was very happy!
After depositing the money, he handed the passbook to Li Youwei for safekeeping, and then Zhou Yang drove the carriage to the county hospital opposite the supply and marketing cooperative!
Now that you're here, let's take Li Youwei for a pregnancy test!
It's been more than two months since I last came back from the capital, and it's time to check again.
Although Zhou Yang also knew that as far as the current medical level of the county hospital was concerned, there was neither B-ultrasound nor other pregnancy test equipment. The so-called pregnancy test was only a simple inquiry from the obstetrics and gynecology doctor, which was of little use.
But if you check it out, it will at least make pregnant women feel at ease!
The results of the inspection were not unexpected, and naturally everything was fine.
Afterwards, the group left the county hospital and went straight to the photo studio not far away!
The last time the family took a photo was half a year ago. Even after such a long time, the master of the photo studio still recognized them at a glance.
It was just that he was slightly shocked when he saw the two soldiers following Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang didn't explain much, and immediately asked the master to help them take pictures.
According to Bao'er's idea, I took two single photos of her, one of which was standing, holding a cloth tiger in the store.
And the other one is riding on a small wooden horse, smiling very happily!
In addition, everyone else in the family also took photos, including single and family photos, a total of more than a dozen photos.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong to join in and take a few separate photos of them, but they refused.
Zhou Yang thought they were a little embarrassed, but asked again that this was a disciplinary requirement.
Because of the different nature of their work, they will try not to leave any image data outside.
After learning about this situation, Zhou Yang did not force it.
It was already half past twelve after taking the photo. Knowing that everyone was hungry, Zhou Yang took everyone to a state-owned hotel not far away.
