The next morning!
Chen Ming and Shen Xue woke up early. After having breakfast at Xu Jinfu's house, they prepared to leave.
"Chief A, you and sister-in-law be careful on the road. There have been many thieves in the provincial capital recently.”Xu Jinfu reminded them.
"Alright, rest well at home. Remember to report back to the army on Sunday!”Chen Ming reminded.
Xu Jinfu chuckled." I remember. Reporting back to the army is a top priority. I definitely won't forget. Take care!"”
After Chen Ming bid farewell to Xu Jinfu, he brought Shen Xue out and strolled around the streets of the provincial capital.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the commoners dressed in simple clothes were beginning their busy day.
On both sides of the street, all kinds of hawkers were shouting loudly. It was very lively.
Along the way, the two of them met many young couples.
At the end of the 1980s, the atmosphere of free love in the West slowly spread to the land of the Dragon Country. More and more young men and women were no longer willing to let their parents decide their marriage. Instead, they were determined to be in love.
This was the innocent 1980s. Girls would blush when they saw their beloved boys. Boys did not need 99 roses or a car to chase after girls."Are you willing to date me?"
If the girl was interested in the boy, she would nod shyly.
On the street, a boy in a white shirt rode a bicycle with a girl on it. The girl covered her white dress with both hands and looked at the boy's back with gentle eyes.
It was filled with the shadows of youth and love. There was not much material mixed in.
"Love in the 1980s is so good!”Chen Ming looked at the couples and muttered to himself.
"Brother Ming, what did you say?" Shen Xue tilted her head curiously.
"It's nothing!" Chen Ming shook his head.
Shen Xue would not understand even if she told him. After all, she was from this era. She would not understand the material world that would rather cry on a BMW than smile on a bicycle thirty years later.
"Xiao Xue, I brought you to Provincial City today to buy you a gift. What do you want?”Chen Ming asked with a smile.
Shen Xue looked around and pointed at a vendor selling candied haws.""Brother Ming, then can you buy me a stick of candied haws?”
"No problem!" Chen Ming brought Shen Xue over and spent four cents to buy two sticks, one for each person.
The two of them tasted the sweet and sour candied haws while walking aimlessly.
"Brother Ming!" Shen Xue suddenly called out to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming turned to look at her.
Shen Xue bit her lower lip and blushed.""When…when are we getting married?”
After saying this, she raised her bright eyes that were filled with anticipation and looked at Chen Ming.
The reason why she suddenly mentioned marriage to Chen Ming was because Xu Jinfu had called her sister-in-law just now. At that moment, she remembered that she was only Chen Ming's girlfriend, not his wife.
Therefore, she suddenly wanted to marry Chen Ming so that she could be considered famous.
It was only after she was married that she could accept the title of sister-in-law when Chen Ming's subordinates called her sister-in-law. She did not feel that she was qualified.
Chen Ming did not expect Shen Xue to take the initiative to mention marriage to him. He was slightly stunned.
From Shen Xue's bright eyes, he could see the intense anticipation in her heart.
"Xiao Xue, we'll get married in three months!”Chen Ming replied.
Shen Xue's eyes lit up as she nodded her head vigorously.""Good!"
Then, Shen Xue took the initiative to reach out and hold Chen Ming's hand. She held it tightly, like a child holding onto her favorite toy. From the bottom of her heart, she believed that Chen Ming belonged to her and no one could snatch him away.
Chen Ming naturally saw through Shen Xue's thoughts. He did not expect Shen Xue to be so possessive despite her gentle appearance.
In the future, if he were to flirt with other women, he would be so jealous that he would explode.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
After walking for a while, Chen Ming suddenly saw a newly opened jewelry store. His eyes lit up and he brought Shen Xue in.
Shen Xue looked at the jewelry displayed in the jewelry shop and immediately said,""Brother Ming, you don't have to buy me such an expensive thing. Let's go!”
"Since we're already in, there's no reason for us to leave immediately. Let's just take a look!”Chen Ming said with a smile.
The manager of the jewelry shop walked over and said with a smile,"What jewelry do you want to buy?"
"Do you have an engagement ring here?”Chen Ming asked.
The store manager smiled." Yes, of course. There's a batch of Western goods in recently. Let me show you!"”
After saying that, the manager took out a small box from the cabinet. He opened the box and found an exquisite diamond ring inside.
"Gentlemen, this is a ring that is more popular in the West. It's called a diamond ring. The ring is made of platinum and inlaid with a diamond!”" Diamonds are a symbol of eternity in the West. They represent the eternal love between a man and a woman!"”
"Eternal!" When Shen Xue heard this term, she was instantly tempted.
Although Chen Ming knew that the diamond ring was a scam, since Shen Xue liked it, there was no reason not to buy it.
"How much?" Chen Ming asked the price directly.
"660 dollars!" The manager rubbed his hands and said.
Chen Ming took out his wallet and was about to take out the money when Shen Xue grabbed his hand and left the jewelry store.
"What's wrong, Little Xue?" Chen Ming was a little puzzled.
" Brother Ming," Snowy said toot," we don't buy such expensive things. That store manager is cheating us!"”
Chen Ming did not expect Shen Xue to be able to see through the store manager's sales tactic. He could not help but ask,""Xiao Xue, how do you know he's cheating us?”
"Because…because I saw it!”Shen Xue said slowly, her eyes filled with determination.
She didn't know how to explain it, but when the store manager quoted the price just now, she was keenly aware that the other party was ripping off customers.
Hearing Shen Xue's words, Chen Ming remembered that Shen Xue's intuition had always been accurate.
"Alright, we won't buy it. Let's go back!”Chen Ming said.
"Good!" Shen Xue nodded.
That evening, the two of them returned to the military district from the provincial capital.
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday.
Thirty-five special forces soldiers returned to the special forces after their family leave. They were about to receive two months of special training!
