This is because there are other people here.

The old man was right next to them, and Su Yuanyuan's voice was not actually very loud. Not to mention that Xu Jianli was in his office at this hour, there was definitely no one nearby. Even if there was someone, his phone was leaking sound, so that person might not be able to hear it.

Then the only possibility is...

It looks like there are two people talking on the phone, but actually there are more than two people listening.

Su Yuanyuan figured out the details and couldn't help but worry about another problem.

"Xu Jianli, you used the office phone to call home. Is that considered misusing public property for personal purposes?"

He wouldn't be punished for calling her.

"No, this call can be made to my family."

The only thing is that if you are being supervised and beat your wife every day... it will just make others laugh at you.

The opinions of others are not as important as maintaining a good relationship with your wife.

"That's good. Then can I beat him every day?"

"can."

Only then did Su Yuanyuan feel relieved.

Since private matters cannot be discussed, then things that need to be kept secret, such as the fact that she has become a 'genius', cannot be discussed either?

What else can be said?

While thinking, Xu Jianli asked her, "Have you started learning to drive?"

Su Yuanyuan said casually, "Well, I learned it yesterday afternoon. I am now very skilled at driving."

Xu Jianli: “…”

There are many kinds of proficiency. Which one is she talking about?

You can't just drive on the road yourself, right?

Xu Jianli had only one thought: what he was worried about had indeed happened... Fortunately, he had already informed his second brother in advance and asked him to keep an eye on the key.

"You're very smart. I knew you'd learn it quickly. But you've just started, so don't rush to drive it yourself."

"Yeah, okay, I know."

Speaking of learning to drive, Su Yuanyuan thought of another thing she wanted to tell him.

"By the way, my parents will give me extra lessons every night and teach me how to read and write. I will soon be able to read and write."

There was silence for a moment on Xu Jianli's side.

After a while, I asked her, "Yuanyuan, are you learning all this for me?"

Su Yuanyuan paused for a moment. Actually, it wasn’t…

However, hearing the obvious emotion in Xu Jianli's tone, she didn't know how to say the denial.

If I say no, will he be sad?

"Um... Of course, there is... a little bit of your fault..."

Su Yuanyuan lied in a very unnatural way.

However, Xu Jianli thought she was just shy.

He was sure that Su Yuanyuan started studying just for him. After all, it was impossible for a person who either dozed off or skipped classes in literacy class to suddenly fall in love with studying, right?

He was very encouraged and said, "Yuanyuan, thank you for doing this for me. I will work hard with you."

Su Yuanyuan didn't know what to say, so she could only respond awkwardly, "...Okay. You, keep going."

Then Xu Jianli suddenly said, "How about we stop here today? ... I want to go to the training ground for more training now."

"and many more……"

Su Yuanyuan hurriedly called the man to stop.

"You're going to practice so early, have you had breakfast?"

Xu Jianli smiled, very happy to receive her concern.

"Ate."

"...Okay, go ahead then."

"Yuanyuan, remember to call me tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you."

"Ah."

"Then, you hang up first."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yuanyuan stood there in a daze for a while before she smiled and put the phone back to the old man.

It's true, what you say is what you say.

Xu Jianli's personality was often so thoughtful and steady that she almost forgot his age.

What do we call this side of us now? Youthful, energetic, and high-spirited?

This guy, sometimes he really is looking into other people's hearts and trying to force his way in!

After calming down a bit, Su Yuanyuan took out the money to pay the bill. "Uncle, how much do you want?"

When she looked up, she saw the old man who had been serious and righteous before, now looking at her with a loving smile on his face.

"My girl, are you really a military wife? You two have a good relationship, right?"

Su Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed, "We actually... just got married after the New Year..."

The old man smiled even more, "Oh, so you are a newlywed, congratulations!"

"thank you……"

"How much is this? Please calculate it for me."

The old man then checked the call record. "Two and a half minutes, that should be counted as three minutes, five cents a minute, a total of fifteen cents. Girl, next time, pay attention to the time, and hang up when it's almost a minute, it's more cost-effective."

Su Yuanyuan handed over the money and said, "Okay, I got it. Thank you, sir."

After waving goodbye to the old man, Su Yuanyuan continued to run away along the street.

It seems that the old man is not so ruthless, so I'll continue to beat him from now on.

Running around the streets outside the family quarters was about five kilometers. Su Yuanyuan ran very slowly. It took her nearly an hour to run around the whole circle, including the time wasted on the phone.

It was about half past six when I got home.

Seeing that there was still time to make breakfast, he did not let Xu Jianshu, who was about to go to the cafeteria to get steamed buns, go upstairs to the bathroom to take a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, wrapped his wet hair with a dry towel, and went downstairs to make breakfast.

I washed the rice and cooked some mung bean porridge, then heated up last night's leftovers and fried an egg for everyone. That was it.

Qin Xiwei, who had gotten up early for her delicious breakfast, could not hide her disappointment when she saw the "simple" table of porridge and leftovers.

"Sister-in-law, is this all we're going to eat this morning?"

She thought that Su Yuanyuan, the new bride, would have to show off for at least three to five days, and she would then have a treat.

As a result...it's only been two days, why are you already doing just to get by?

Xu Jianshu imitated her tone and started to retort, "...You only eat these? Are you at a loss? Some people in the village are short of food and have to eat bran and wild vegetables every day. They may not even be able to eat such good food during the New Year. Are you still complaining? If you are so disgusted, just don't eat it! You have really been spoiled by your family!"

Qin Xiwei was caught off guard by him teaching her a lesson early in the morning. She felt confused and aggrieved, and her eyes were red.

"I, when did I say I disliked it?"

Qin Sumei was originally planning to say that Su Yuanyuan studied until very late last night, and it was not easy for her to get up early in the morning to make breakfast.

Seeing that her son was about to scold her to tears, she had no choice but to stand on Qin Xiwei's side and scold her son, "Why are you so mean to her? She just wants to eat something fresh."

Xu Jianshu curled his lips and tilted his head, muttering to himself, "He has a lot of bad habits, just indulge him."

Although Xu Jianshu sometimes annoys Qin Xiwei, he still treats her as his younger sister. It is precisely because of his love for his younger sister that he doesn't want to spoil her like his family does.

However, his tone was too harsh and he almost made the other person cry. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he didn't make a fuss about it and continued to say anything.

Qin Xiwei tried to hold back her tears for a long time, and finally held them back, but she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Yuanyuan knew that the girl was at an age when she had a strong sense of self-esteem. It was indeed unfair that she had said something ambiguous and was misunderstood and scolded, so she gave her a way out.

"Okay, don't be angry. I'll make you something delicious at noon."

"Second brother is right. Many people in the village don't have enough food to eat. We still have porridge and steamed bread every morning. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it when I have the chance."

……

(The part about the phone call is a little inconsistent with historical facts. For the needs of the plot, the author added some private settings to let the couple fall in love smoothly. I would like to tell you about it here to prevent you from being misled.

Our country's communications and various infrastructure were severely damaged during the war, so there was a very poor period after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was still very inconvenient for ordinary people to make phone calls, and they mainly relied on letters and telegrams.

Telephone booths were probably not widely used until the 1980s. Before that, people had to go to places like post offices to make phone calls. Later, after mobile phones became widely popular, telephone booths were gradually banned. This is probably what happened...)
