The '80s Marriage Exchange: The Pretty Military Wife Becomes the Island's Darling

Shen Qingqing was reborn and found that her half-sister, Shen Jiaojiao, was also reborn with her. The two sisters were about to join the military on an island. Her sister eagerly rushed to marry he...

Chapter 76 Shen Jiaojiao's weird mood (1/2)

After saying that, she immediately turned around and was about to leave. Shen Qingqing quickly grabbed her and said,

"Sister-in-law, when did I say I won't sell it? Sell it! Still selling! And the price is the same as last time. If you want to buy it, come to the square tomorrow and I'll give it to you directly when the time comes!"

"Really?" The man nodded excitedly, as if he couldn't believe that such a surprise would suddenly happen to him.

Shen Qingqing looked at her calmly.

Patched clothes, a sallow and thin face, and a pair of calloused hands.

Although he looks young, he looks old and tired.

Shen Qingqing remembered that this person seemed to have bought vegetables from her last time. It was just that it had been so long that she didn't remember it for a while.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing smiled again, "Well, sister-in-law, tell me how many dishes you want, I'll wait for you here tomorrow."

The man looked up at her shyly, then whispered, "Well, how about 30 kilograms of cabbage?"

She spoke in a small voice and stuttered, as if Shen Qingqing was a bad guy. But Shen Qingqing knew that she was just inferior and afraid.

Having experienced the misery of her previous life, Shen Qingqing could also understand the feelings of the person in front of her. So she tried to make her voice sound gentle, "Okay, thirty kilograms of cabbage, right? Then come and wait for me at this time tomorrow."

After that, she thought about it again, and then lowered her voice and said, "I can still give you another ten kilograms of cowpeas, sister-in-law, do you want them?"

Judging from the other person's accent, she was from Sichuan Province. Shen Qingqing thought that maybe she would need cowpeas. In her previous life, she had been to Sichuan Province and knew that every household there could pickle kimchi.

"Cowpea?" The man was delighted. "There really are cowpeas?"

But the joy on her face quickly disappeared, and she hesitated, "But, the price should not be low, right?"

Yes, the climate here is not suitable for growing cowpeas, so few are planted and the yield is low, so the price is high.

Just as Shen Qingqing guessed, she was indeed from Sichuan Province, and she liked to pickle beans and peppers when she was young. But since she joined the army, there are few cowpeas for sale here, and even if there are, the price is very high, and it is not suitable for pickling kimchi.

Moreover, she has many children and a heavy burden. But you can guess from her clothes that she is in her eighties now, and soldiers are generally not poor because their wages and allowances are not low. Only people like her who have many elderly and children in the family would still wear patched clothes.

Shen Qingqing saw her embarrassment and smiled, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll sell the cowpeas for five cents a pound, is that okay with you?"

“What?” The person was dumbfounded. Five cents a pound, wouldn’t that mean Sister Shen was at a disadvantage? She quickly waved her hands.

"No, this won't work. The cowpeas at the supply and marketing cooperative are only 1 cent per pound. I can't take advantage of you!"

Shen Qingqing didn't care about that. If she couldn't finish them, they would go bad anyway, so she might as well sell them to her at a low price. "How about this, sister-in-law? If I heard correctly, you should be from Sichuan Province. If you use these beans to pickle kimchi, can you give me some of the beans?"

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that she didn't miss the taste of her hometown. But even so, she took advantage of Sister Shen.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Shen Qingqing persuaded him a few more times, and the other party finally thanked her. She had previously promised that she would definitely send more to Shen Qingqing when she had pickled the vegetables.

As soon as she sent the sister-in-law away, several people immediately gathered around her, "Sister Shen, do you have any extra vegetables to sell? If you do, can you give me some?"

That must be done! Anyway, Shen Qingqing and Zhou Yuanzheng couldn't finish all the vegetables, not to mention that the vegetables irrigated by the spiritual spring in the space were tastier than these vegetables, so it would be better to sell them. So she made an agreement with several sisters-in-law to sell the vegetables, and come here in batches in the next few days to pick them up.

In the end, she had more than 50 kilograms of vegetables left, of which the most were cabbages that were durable, and the rest were vegetables that were not durable.

But this time, everyone obviously didn't buy as much as last time, but you buy a little, I buy a little. Shen Qingqing can sell these vegetables almost.

You know, military wives with large families will prepare in advance. The vegetables here by Shen Qingqing are cheaper than those outside. They are a little cheaper per pound. If you buy more, you can save a few cents or a dime.

You can buy some candy for your own child and build a good relationship with him/her at the same time. Why not do it?

There are also some people whose parents’ home is not far from here, and they live in the city, but it is not as convenient to get vegetables as in the countryside.
