Chapter 70
Shi Xiaoai must side with Cheng Yang on this matter.
Not to mention that she had no plans to go to the capital right now. Even if she did, she would be alone and have no intention of begging for food from others.
So she asked directly: "What did you choose in the end?"
Since some gave up, there must be room for choice. Shi Xiaoai believed that Cheng Yang would not let himself get to the point where he had no way out.
"I'm going to school." Cheng Yang replied.
"Go to school?" Shi Xiaoai was a little surprised. She didn't expect such a choice.
"The command academy is going to hold a special training class for cadres. The chief of staff said that if I don't want to go to the headquarters, the unit can send me to study here. After graduation, I will be reassigned. Of course, there is a high probability that I will return to our group army. The command academy is in the Yunjing, which is more than fifty kilometers away from home, if you agree, I want to choose this."
Cheng Yang looked at Shi Xiaoai with earnest eyes.
Yunjing is a county adjacent to Yuncheng, with direct buses to the city. Although Shi Xiaoai has never been there, she has seen the bus stop sign many times.
So, I am not entirely unfamiliar with this place.
But she didn't know there was a command academy there.
However, being able to go to school is a good thing in any era, especially for those trained by the government. They will only get such an opportunity if the government values them.
So she immediately replied: "You can go if you want to."
"Then you don't dislike me? I have been here for two months, and I only have received nothing but basic salary during these two months."
Shi Xiaoai glanced at him sideways: "Do I still need you to support me?"
"Yes! My wife is much more capable than me!" Cheng Yang burst out laughing.
Shi Xiaoai's words made Cheng Yang laugh again.
He reached out and suddenly hugged Shi Xiaoai, pressing her head against his heart.
Shi Xiaoai was startled when a man hugged her again without warning.
Thinking that Xiaofeng might come over at any time, she struggled hard, but the man's palm pressed her head and pressed it heavily to her chest.
She heard the man's laughter and the resonance in his chest through the thick cotton clothes.
School started in early April, which is less than twenty days away.
Now that you have decided to go, you must start preparing many things.
Other things were fine. Shi Xiaoai wanted to buy a set of clothes for Cheng Yang Zhengzheng.
Because she had earned some money these days, Shi Xiaoai bought clothes for herself and her two children.
The clothes for the two children were said to have been purchased by her, but Aunt Liu might have as well prepared them.
The two children were not as well dressed as beggars when they returned. Although they were clean, their clothes were patched and gray.
The day after she returned, Aunt Liu brought two sets of altered clothes, saying they were worn by her children when they were young, and asked Mingxi and Mingrui to wear them first.
Shi Xiaoai has always been a strong person. No matter how poor she was then, she did not want to be looked down upon by others.
So, the first thing she did after receiving the supply book was to send cloth tickets and money to Aunt Liu, asking her to help her choose some clothes and make some clothes for the two children.
She offered a processing fee.
Shi Xiaoai's move found a big job for Aunt Liu and the aunts and sisters in the office.
The main reason is that their children are so cute. Who wouldn't love such a well-behaved and obedient child who still looks a little pitiful?
So everyone took action together.
They asked people to help them find defective fabrics and help with cutting and sewing, and some even volunteered their sewing machines.
So, within a few days, the two children had several beautiful little clothes.
These clothes are not only jackets but also cotton jackets, cotton trousers, sweaters, and woolen trousers.
Shi Xiaoai took advantage of the two children, and the aunts didn't forget her when they chose the children's clothes. After all, what she wore was different.
Therefore, she also took advantage of the situation and added a polyester cardigan jacket and two pairs of straight pants.
They are all new styles that have been popular in Yuncheng recently.
Shi Xiaoai likes these clothes because the styles are very plain.
She was glad that it was not two or three years later. Wide-leg bell bottoms had yet to become famous. Today's clothes are mainly simple and elegant.
Shi Xiaoai doesn't plan to buy more clothes for herself and her children. Even if she has money, she can save it to buy spring clothes.
But Cheng Yang had to buy a few more.
When Xiao Ai looked at the clothes he brought back, they were all military supplies inside and out, including underwear.
Although military uniforms can be worn, they cannot always be worn. There must be some casual clothes to replace them.
Therefore, she immediately told Cheng Yang she would take a day off tomorrow and go shopping as a family.
Cheng Yang was surprised by her suggestion, but he was still happy to hear that she would buy clothes for himself.
He declined hypocritically, but when Shi Xiaoai glared at him, he immediately agreed.
When Wang Xiaofeng came in the evening, Shi Xiaoai told her about this decision. Wang Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling a little incredible.
When business is so good, why would someone spend money instead of making money?
Money must be earned, but the money earned must also be spent!
Humans are not machines, nor are they born to make money.
Of course, this is just Shi Xiaoai's idea, and she certainly will only ask some to understand.
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Wang Xiaofeng asked: "Sister, how about you give me the key to the tea stall, and I can set up the stall by myself tomorrow?" "You can't do it yourself, you will definitely be too busy. And Aunt Liu will help you bake pancakes at home. It's okay, but it's not appropriate to ask her to go with you to help you sell it, right?"
Shi Xiaoai disagreed.
Wang Xiaofeng thought about it again: "Sister, if I finish it, can I take it to the hospital entrance and sell it?" She continued to ask.
"Okay. I'll give you the key to my house, and you can come over by yourself tomorrow morning. Just remember to lock the door for me after you're done."
Wang Xiaofeng happily agreed.
Since there was no stall tomorrow and no need to make steamed buns, they were not busy that night and went to bed early.
At dawn the next day, the four members of the family all woke up according to their usual habits.
Looking at the dark sky outside, Shi Xiaoai was speechless for a while.
Why do you need to get up so early to go shopping?!
Cheng Yang walked in from outside at this moment.
He first picked up Ming Xi, who was already moaning and groaning in bed, and then grabbed Shi Xiaoai: "Now that you're awake, don't stay in bed. Get up quickly, and I'll take you to see the sea!
"Such things were not attractive to Shi Xiaoai, but it was different for the two children.
Yuncheng is close to the sea, but neither of them has even seen the shadow of the sea!
As soon as they heard that their parents were going to take them to see the sea, Mingxi stopped complaining and put on her clothes neatly without any help from adults.
Cheng Yang was going to cook, but Shi Xiaoai yawned and said, "No more, let's go out to eat. You take us to see the sea, and I'll treat you to delicious food!"
