An Yi picked up the sweater on the ground to see if it was soiled by her own steps, and patted it.
Mr. Dong sighed and walked outside to calm down.
An Yi stayed for a while, then suddenly came out and asked, "Old Dong, how much money do you have left?"
Mr. Dong was stunned: "Didn't I give you all my money?"
"But I only have twenty yuan in my hand." An Yi looked a little embarrassed.
"Everything is complete at home. Do you want to buy anything? If it's not enough, I'll borrow some from Lu Ming first, which will be used as an advance salary." Mr. Dong said and turned around to find Lu Ming.
"Wait a minute, I don't want to buy anything, I just think we should celebrate." An Yi grabbed Mr. Dong and said.
"What are you celebrating?" Mr. Dong asked puzzledly.
"Now that the organization has approved our marriage, we are considered husband and wife, and our files will also indicate that we got married today. Do you think we should celebrate it?" An Yi said.
"Well, it should be, it should be, but how to celebrate?" Mr. Dong was in trouble.
"Let's go out for a meal. It's a little more luxurious. But once these twenty yuan are used up, how will we live the rest of our lives?" An Yi was also in a dilemma.
"In an ordinary restaurant, five yuan is enough," Mr. Dong said with a smile. He usually spends a foreigner at most when he goes out to eat alone, and that's considered a non-vegetarian meal.
"Then let's go out and have some luxury." An Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, since you came to Shanghai, apart from Lu Ming treating us to a meal, I haven't treated you to a proper meal," Mr. Dong said.
Mr. Dong made up his mind to spend five yuan today, otherwise he would be very sorry for An Yi.
How many times can a person get married in a lifetime, especially for women? Getting married means saying goodbye to one's youth completely.
At this moment, Mr. Dong's mood is very complicated. An Yi is right. Regardless of whether they are together or not, at least in the organizational relationship, they are already a couple. Their files will also record that today, they were organized
The marriage is approved.
In other words, from now on, he has said goodbye to being single and has become a man with a family.
Having a family also means additional responsibilities and obligations. This is an issue he has never considered before, but now he has to consider it.
Although they are still a couple in name only, they are still different from when An Yi first came to Shanghai. They are no longer pretending to be a couple, at least their status as a couple has been established.
Of course there was joy, but what he felt was not just joy, but even a touch of sadness. He couldn't tell what it felt like.
He looked at An Yi, and it could be seen from An Yi's somewhat evasive and frightened eyes that she had also experienced a storm in her heart, and the ups and downs she endured were no less than his.
The two of them got dressed and walked out, and happened to meet Lu Ming coming back in the corridor.
"What a coincidence, you two rarely go out together. Now they look like a couple." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"What a coincidence. We want to go out for dinner, why don't we go together, but we can't afford a nice meal for you." Mr. Dong smiled awkwardly.
"Forget it, I'm not going to be your light bulb. If you want to eat, go to the Eight Bowls down there. If you're tired of eating, go to the Chinachem Hotel. You don't have to pay, just tell them to put it on my account." Lu Ming laughed.
road.
"That's no need, we're just going out to have something to eat." Mr. Dong said and wanted to go downstairs.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get you something." Lu Ming quickly walked back to his room, opened the safe, and took out a stack of banknotes.
Mr. Dong and An Yi were waiting there, wondering what Lu Ming had taken.
Lu Ming quickly returned to the corridor, and Mr. Dong greeted him alone.
"From now on, your salary will be five hundred. This is ten months' salary. I'll give it to you first. If you don't have enough, you can make an advance. I just wish you a happy wedding!" Lu Ming said to Mr. Dong in a low voice.
"This is too much, I really can't afford these." Mr. Dong shook his head and waved his hands.
"Don't be polite. You live in this apartment. What you come in and out of must match this apartment. You should often go out to eat, go shopping, buy some clothes, etc. In short, don't show anything that doesn't match this apartment building.
This way people will not be suspicious. In the next period of time, you must be careful in all aspects. Don't miss important things just to save a little money." Lu Ming said.
"Are you saying that people from the Fuxing Society might still be watching us?" Mr. Dong said with a sinking heart.
"It's not possible, but it's certain. You must have a pair of eyes when you go out." Lu Ming said.
Lu Ming estimated that Weng Bailing would definitely place his people near the building to keep an eye on the disguised couple, Mr. Dong and An Yi.
In Weng Bailing's plan, if An Yi reveals a flaw and is caught, it will be a heavy dose of medicine that forces Lu Ming to step down.
"Old Dong, you're good. You're enlightened. You know how to take An Yi out to eat and cultivate your taste. It's good." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, let me tell you something, we are really going to get married." Mr. Dong said.
"Getting married? This is a good thing. Why are you looking so sad?" Lu Ming guessed their intention.
"No, wasn't I not mentally prepared at all? This matter is all your fault. It was you who said that we were not like a couple and that our identities would be exposed. But in the end, An Yi proposed to become a real couple with me, so I stupidly
I applied to the superior, and the superior approved it." Mr. Dong said, his eyebrows almost knotted with worry.
"An Yi is just a bit more powerful, what's wrong with the rest?" Lu Ming wondered.
"It's not that An Yi is bad, it's that she is too good and I am not worthy of her." Mr. Dong said with a sad face.
"Old Dong, you are the big brother and I am the little brother. Normally I shouldn't criticize you, but I must criticize you in this matter. What do you mean you are not worthy? Since I want to be a real husband and wife with you, then
I just fall in love with you, and this is the blessing you gained from your past life. I know you Communists don’t believe in God, nor do you believe in past and future lives, but you have to cherish this blessing."
"I can't give her anything, for fear of delaying her." Mr. Dong's mood recovered a little.
"When a girl offers to be with you for the rest of her life, she is ready to give herself to you. But look at you, can you make people feel at ease like this? You are a man, and men must be brave and proactive. Now you have
If you are passive, why don't you hurry up and make amends?" Lu Ming encouraged.
"How to remedy it?" Mr. Dong asked stupidly, and couldn't help but look back at An Yi.
"Buy her two more sets of fashions, cosmetics, jewelry and so on. Don't hold on to the money. Girls like this." Lu Ming said.
"This is useless. She usually likes to wear military uniforms and doesn't like beautiful clothes at all." Mr. Dong was stubborn.
"Who said it? Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention girls. Who doesn't want to look beautiful? Revolutionaries are no exception. You can't say that you are making revolution just to destroy all the beautiful things.
You don’t even pursue beauty in things, do you?”
"Of course not. After our revolution is successful, we will build a better homeland." Mr. Dong said this with some enthusiasm.
"This is it, what is the basis of our home? It is people-oriented. If everyone wears ugly clothes, what is it called beauty? Boys should dress solemnly, and girls should dress beautifully. That is a beautiful home.
The most basic requirement. In the future, young men and women will be flowers of the country." Lu Ming said, and he became fascinated.
"Well, you are right. I accept criticism, but I don't know how to buy clothes for women." Mr. Dong looked helpless.
"This is easy to handle. I will ask Mingzhu to come over tomorrow and take you to the fashion store I often go to, and ask her to help you two choose a few sets of clothes." Lu Ming said.
"I don't need it. The clothes I'm wearing are not very good." Mr. Dong pulled on an old piece of clothing and said.
"You also need to change your outfit. Shanghai is a place where people look down on others. If you dress plainly, no one will take you seriously. If you dress well and look stylish, even the police will respect you."
Don't underestimate the importance of clothes. You don't need to worry about this matter. Just follow Mingzhu there tomorrow. You don't need to worry about the money for clothes or anything else. It's all recorded in my account. They will give me the bill every month.
Send it."
"But I always ask for things from you, but I can't give you back. How can I be so embarrassed?" Mr. Dong shook his head.
