Qi Mengmeng didn't mean it, it's just that she didn't have a basket at home or in the space. She originally wanted to borrow one from Li Laidi, but she didn't expect Li Laidi to take it out directly.

She took the basket from Li Lai Di with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I just came here and I haven't bought these things yet. Sister-in-law, where did you buy this? I'll buy two for my home later."

Li Lai Di said nonchalantly, "I brought this basket from my hometown. It's made of bamboo. People here use sorghum stalks to make baskets. When we go to the village later, I'll take you to buy two."

The two of them walked out of the family compound together. Someone saw them greeting Li Lai Di: "Fatty's mom, are you guys going out?"

Li Lai Di smiled and replied, "I am taking Captain Gu's wife for a walk around here. Shitou's mother, the little fat girl went to play with Shitou early in the morning. Please keep an eye on her for me."

Shitou's mother assured Li Lai Di and then spoke to Qi Meng Meng: "This must be Captain Gu's wife. She's so pretty."

Li Lai Di introduced the two people: "Meng Meng, this is Wang's wife, her husband is the commander of the fifth battalion, also in the first regiment."

Qi Mengmeng greeted Wang Guihua but didn't say much.

Wang Guihua waved her hand and said, "You guys can go and take care of yourselves first. I'm going home first."

Li Lai Di and Qi Meng Meng then walked out of the family compound. When they met other people, Li Lai Di introduced them to Qi Meng Meng as usual.

Qi Mengmeng just smiled and nodded, but to be honest, she hardly remembered anything.

Li Lai Di looked at her expression and said with a smile, "Are you a little confused? It's okay. You will get to know each other after spending some time together."

Qi Mengmeng smiled awkwardly: "I just didn't expect there were so many military wives in the family compound."

It seems that these military wives have no jobs.

Li Lai Di sighed: "Our family compound has only been built for a few years, and these military wives have not been here for long. They are all uneducated and have no jobs, so they can only take care of the children at home."

Qi Mengmeng thought about the characteristics of this era and understood.

"But with Daming's help, I was able to go to junior high school." Li Lai Di said proudly, and then asked Qi Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, what is your academic background?"

"high school."

Qi Mengmeng recalled the original owner's academic performance. It was a pity that she couldn't go to university now, otherwise the original owner would definitely have been admitted.

She thought that she would probably take the college entrance examination next year, so she should study hard. Since she didn't go to college in her previous life, taking the college entrance examination in this life would be considered fulfilling her college dream.

Li Lai Di looked at Qi Mengmeng with envy: "Mengmeng, you are in high school, that's great. Next time the military district arranges a job, I guess it will be for you?"

"Will the military district arrange jobs for military wives?" Qi Mengmeng has money and space, and is not very interested in work.

"The first batch of military wives who came were all arranged to work in the canteen. Last year, they were arranged to go to elementary school, but you had to take an exam to get in. Zheng Yingying from Captain Qi's family was admitted through that exam." Li Laidie said this and glanced at Qi Mengmeng.

"If Mengmeng had come a year earlier, I would have definitely arranged for you."

"That's not necessarily true." Qi Mengmeng didn't want to be a teacher. It was not a good job to look after some little kids every day and urge them to study.

But she couldn't say it, because the profession of teacher seemed quite noble nowadays.

The two chatted casually about daily life and walked for about half an hour before they reached a nearby village.

Qi Mengmeng was panting with exhaustion. Neither she nor the heroine had ever done strenuous exercise and they just barely passed the physical education test. Lei Lei, on the other hand, walked for half an hour and apart from some sweat on his head, there was nothing else wrong.

Qi Mengmeng asked Lei Lei several times along the way, and he always said that he was fine and could hold on.

Li Lai Di brought Qi Mengmeng into the village, greeted a group of aunts sitting under a big willow tree at the entrance of the village, and then took Qi Mengmeng to buy a basket.

Qi Mengmeng saw that there were people selling kang mats here, so she bought one as well.

Li Lai Di nodded: "You'd better buy two more kang cabinets and put them on the kang. In winter, you can put quilts and clothes there, and they won't get dirty. Everything here is good, except that it's too cold in winter. You can only keep warm by heating the kang."

Qi Mengmeng had only slept on a kang when she was very young, but she had no memory of it. So she listened to Li Laidie and bought a few curtains, which she would need when making dumplings in the future.

The curtains in her space were different from the ones here. It would be hard to explain if someone saw them. It wasn’t expensive anyway, so she just bought a few.

Qi Mengmeng also bought a broom for sweeping the kang and a broom for sweeping the floor. In order to save trouble, she bought both from this family, which made the woman in the family very happy.

After she finished shopping, Qi Mengmeng started to worry. She bought a lot of things, and she and Li Laidie definitely couldn't carry them all back alone.

Li Lai Di told the woman very experiencedly to deliver all these things to the gate of the family compound in the afternoon, and then took Qi Mengmeng away.

Qi Mengmeng thanked Li Lai Di: "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, otherwise I would have to do it myself. I don't know where to buy so many things."

Li Lai Di agreed and said, "There aren't many things in the service center. These household items can only be bought in this village. If you want to buy anything in the future, just come here yourself. If you don't know who to find, just find their team leader."

She stopped here and pointed to a brick house in the distance: "The captain's surname is Fang, that's the captain's home."

Qi Mengmeng had already seen that there were only three brick houses in the village, and Captain Fang's house was the best.

However, Qi Mengmeng just nodded casually. She didn't forget what she came here for today.

She smiled and said to Li Lai Di, "Sister-in-law, that old lady's house."

Li Lai Di put her finger on her lips, signaling her to be quiet. The two of them walked out of the village and turned into a small path at the entrance of the village. After walking for a few hundred meters, they saw a thatched house.

There are sorghum fields and corn fields not far away, so this thatched house does not look out of place.

Li Laidie asked Qi Mengmeng and Lei Lei to wait here for a while while she went in to ask the old lady first.

After Qi Mengmeng left, she asked Lei Lei if he was tired. Lei Lei shook his head: "No."

Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything else, and the two of them waited quietly for Li Laidie to come out.

Li Laidie came out with a happy look on her face, nodded at Qi Mengmeng, and pulled Qi Mengmeng into the house. She was so anxious that she almost pulled Qi Mengmeng down.

"I heard that you have red dates." The old woman's dry voice sounded at the door. Qi Mengmeng turned around quickly and saw a dark shadow standing behind her. The room was too dark. There was not even a window. The only light came through the open door.

"Is there any?" The old lady was a little dissatisfied when she saw Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything.

"Yes, red dates, rice, and flour." Qi Mengmeng had an idea and reached into the rice bag, put some red dates in it, and then handed it to the old woman.

The old woman opened the two cloth bags, nodded with satisfaction, took out a cushion from the darkness and placed it on the ground: "Kneel down."
