Chapter 574: A Perfect Couple

Chapter 574: A Perfect Couple

"Honey, now that you're here, let me buy you a couple of outfits before you go back."

Lu Ye noticed that his wife was staring at the fashionable women with permed hair on the street, so he made a suggestion.

Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head, "I have plenty of clothes at home, no need to buy any more."

Setting up a clinic requires money; now is not the time for frivolous spending.

Furthermore, once the clinic opens, we'll have to wear white coats every day, so there won't be many opportunities to change into new clothes every day.

"What would you like to buy? Skincare products? Do you need shampoo?"

Bai Zhi realized that she really should buy some skincare products, as the face cream she brought from Nancheng was almost gone.

She smiled and replied, "Then let's go to the department store and see if there's anything we need."

The two then rode their bikes to the department store.

As expected, the department stores in the city center are different. Not only do they have five floors, but each floor is filled with a dazzling array of goods, both domestic and imported.

It's comparable to Nancheng.

Bai Zhi went around and bought herself a bottle of facial cleanser and some moisturizing oil.

She stayed in Nancheng for a year, which made her skin very fair. Plus, her age was an advantage, and her face was full of collagen, so she didn't usually wear makeup.

Basic skincare only.

Bai Zhi wandered around and suddenly spotted a men's electric shaver in the household goods section. Her eyes lit up, and she pulled Lu Ye over, saying, "We have electric shavers here, let me buy you one."

Lu Ye refused, "I don't need it, I'll just use the manual one."

"Doing it manually is too troublesome. You can easily scratch your skin and then have to apply moisturizer. This is more convenient."

Bai Zhi insisted on getting him an electric razor.

They both consider each other's needs and buy each other what the other needs, but at the same time they are both very restrained and don't spend money recklessly.

They need to use their money wisely.

The two of them came out of the department store at around 2 p.m.

Bai Zhi felt incredibly happy when she saw the brand-new motorcycles parked outside the mall.

She said, "Let's go back; it'll take two hours to ride back."

"Okay." Lu Ye tied the things to the back seat and gestured for Bai Zhi to get in the car. "Wife, get in the car, your husband will take you home."

The two of them rode their motorcycle along the road back to the military family compound.

The road leading out of the city is paved, but there's a section that's a dirt road.

Their motorcycles followed behind a large truck, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Can we overtake them?"

Following behind them not only meant eating dirt, but also having their vision obscured by it, which was very dangerous.

"I can't overtake you, so I'll ride slower."

Bai Zhi said, "How about we stop and rest for a while, and wait until this car is far away before we set off again? I'll ride it in a bit."

She's already itching to get started.

“Okay.” The two walked and stopped for more than two hours, finally arriving at the family compound around 5 p.m.

"It's so cold."

After getting off the motorcycle, Bai Zhi felt that her hands were numb.

In the first month of the lunar calendar, riding a motorcycle for more than two hours, she felt like a kite being flown in the air.

It's too cold.

If you ride like this for a long time, the chances of developing rheumatism in your knees will greatly increase.

Fortunately, the journey to the military hospital and the county town is relatively short.

Fortunately, the weather is gradually getting warmer.

Lu Ye rode his motorcycle directly into the family compound, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

This was the peak time for people to go home from get off work. Neighbors who were riding their bicycles home from work came over to greet and ask Lu Ye what was going on when they saw him parking his motorcycle.

As Instructor Wang rode in on his bicycle, he asked with a smile, "Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, you bought a motorcycle?"

"Yes, I just rode it back."

"Then it will be much more convenient for you to commute to and from get off work in the future."

It's only a kilometer away; you can get there in minutes by motorcycle.

Lu Ye explained, "I bought this for my wife."

Upon hearing Lu Ye's words, several men in military uniforms turned to look at the young woman standing next to Lu Ye.

"You bought this motorcycle for your wife?" Instructor Wang smiled at Bai Zhi. "Can your wife ride it?"

With such a small frame, how can it handle this iron donkey?

“She can ride; she used to ride motorcycles in Nancheng.” Lu Ye looked at his wife with pride.

Bai Zhi said, "Instructor Wang, motorcycles are actually quite easy to learn. I feel they are more stable than bicycles."

At this moment, Instructor Wang's wife heard the commotion outside and came out. When she heard everyone say that the motorcycle was bought for his wife by Lu Ye, she immediately complained to Instructor Wang, "Oh dear, look how good Deputy Battalion Commander Lu is to his wife. As soon as she came, he bought her home appliances and a motorcycle. I asked you to get me a new women's bicycle, but you just kept stammering and wouldn't change it."

"Take me to buy a bicycle tomorrow, or I'll never forgive you."

When Instructor Wang's wife got angry with him, everyone felt a little awkward. Lu Ye quickly locked his motorcycle and made an excuse to take Bai Zhi upstairs.

Just as he was about to take a step, Liu Guifang called out to him.

"Xiaobai, you're back?" Liu Guifang and Wang Yumei had taken the bus the whole way. Liu Guifang was a little carsick when she got back, and her face was pale now.

She asked Bai Zhi curiously, "Did you just get back? I didn't see you in the car."

Bai Zhi replied, "We came back on motorcycles."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Liu Guifang looked around for a motorcycle.

Bai Zhi pointed to the brand-new motorcycle parked under the shed and explained, "We just bought this motorcycle today."

"Oh my god, so you guys went to buy a motorcycle today?"

Seeing this, Liu Guifang sighed, "You guys are living such an enviable life."

"Sister-in-law Guifang, I'm going upstairs now. I'll take you for a ride on my bike later."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she went upstairs.

Liu Guifang then realized what Bai Zhi meant.

So, Bai Zhi can ride a motorcycle?

Could this have been bought for her?

Bai Zhi went upstairs, and Liu Guifang was also exhausted. She spoke to Wang Yumei, who had been in poor condition and hadn't said a word the whole way, "Yumei, go back and rest first. Call Lao Zhou back later and have a good talk."

Wang Yumei's eyes were dull and lifeless, and she looked like a wilted eggplant.

Liu Guifang couldn't bear to see her so dejected. She took her hand and gently comforted her, "Look at all the tests you had today. The experts said you need to keep a good mood and take your medication properly. Your PCOS can be treated, but you need to change your mindset. The more pressure you're under, the harder it is to get pregnant."

Liu Guifang thought of what the expert had said today, her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "Or, try to persuade your husband, Lao Zhou, to go to the hospital for a check-up as well. Having a baby requires the cooperation of both people."

Only after Liu Guifang said that did Wang Yumei raise her eyes, look at her, and ask blankly, "Sister-in-law, do you think Lao Zhou's health really has a problem?"

"this........."

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Guifang still subtly reminded him, "To be honest, when the political commissar came to my house last time, he discussed this matter with Dr. Xiaobai. I heard them say that men also have many diseases in this area, and infertility is not just a woman's problem."

People kept passing by and greeting them. After dealing with the neighbors who greeted them, Liu Guifang said to Wang Yumei, "This isn't a place to chat. You should go back and rest."

Wang Yumei's expression was solemn, and she reminded him, "Sister-in-law, please remember to keep it a secret. I don't want others to know about my family's situation."

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."
