The military is such that the nation entrusts its heart in the army and allows family members to accompany the soldiers, all depending on personal desire. Previously, he was alone, and although he had a dormitory, it was just a place to sleep when he rested, for the most part, he was mainly in the military area.
The military region he was in also had a family compound for the military district, where soldiers would train in the army and come home to rest, and those family members would either support their husbands and teach their children or find a job. All the families who followed the army had but one thought in mind, and that was to reunite with their husbands.
As for living, naturally, it is more prosperous and comfortable in the city than in the rural areas; hence some families do not wish to return to the countryside once they come here.
Qi Taiguo knew that she longed for city life and thinking of her pretentious behavior in the pigpen today, deliberately said, "Qing City is much more prosperous than Flower County. It has everything, better facilities, and not to mention, the supply and marketing cooperatives here have better and more goods than ours. At night, people still walk on the streets. Not only that, there are also small department stores..."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Cheng Su's reaction, seeing her eyes shine, he sneered inwardly, feeling envious, aren't you? Make a fuss and see how long you can endure?
He deliberately described how wonderful Qing City was, including the situation in the dormitory family compound, painting a bustling and lively scene.
Cheng Su listened with great interest, even asking several questions, to which Qi Taiguo, unannoyed, responded forthwith.
"...Listening to this, Qing City seems to be quite convenient for living!" Cheng Su said.
"Of course, many families who come over do not wish to go back to the countryside," Qi Taiguo said, while silently adding in his heart, go on, say what you have next.
Who knew Cheng Su would simply nod and what she said was, "That's natural, it's harder to revert from luxury to simplicity!" and said no more.
Just like that?
Qi Taiguo frowned, looking at her. Look at you
"What?" Cheng Su found it strange.
"Haven't you said you wanted to see this prosperity?" Qi Taiguo could not hold back and blurted out; as soon as he did, he regretted it. What a slip of the tongue, why ask her, what if she really asked to go, what would he do then?
However, if she really insisted on following, then so be it.
After all, she was his wife now; what's the point of living like a monk with a wife!
Qi Taiguo nonchalantly glanced at the collar of Cheng Su's clothing, waiting openly for her to make her request.
But he miscalculated, no matter how prosperous he described the place, could it compare to the world Cheng Su had seen, living in the 21st century?
Not to mention within the country, even around the world, like Dubai that is covered in gold, isn't that prosperous enough? So what?
She was not someone without experience and shallow vision.
So when Qi Taiguo spoke like this, she just smiled lightly and said, "You're going to be busy with the army too, and it wouldn't be interesting for me to go. I don't plan to go for the time being; we'll talk about it later!"
She had just begun to think of the benefits of them being apart; no need to share a room, no way she was going to willingly throw herself into his bed!
Qi Taiguo was stunned.
What did she say, not interesting, talk about it later?
Does that mean she really doesn't intend to follow him?
He looked closely at Cheng Su's expression, seeing her straightforward and sincere, without a hint of pretense, suddenly feeling a bit unhappy and snorted coldly.
"I'm relieved then if you say so. I was afraid you'd make a fuss to follow," he said with irritation: "In that case, remember what you said today, stay put in your hometown peacefully. Sleep!"
He lay down huffily, while Cheng Su was somewhat slow to react, was he...dissatisfied?
