This shuttle bus is actually a public bus in the city. After consultation between the army and the city, it was specially arranged for the wives of military personnel to travel.
When the time comes and the bus is full of people, it will leave.
Seeing that it was time to leave, the driver was starting the engine, and Wang Xiulan suddenly jumped out and said, "Driver, wait a moment, please wait a moment, there are still people who haven't arrived yet."
The driver complained, "It's time to leave. We can't wait any longer."
But Wang Xiulan spoke louder than the driver and didn't feel guilty at all.
"Five minutes, just five minutes. You're not in a hurry to be reincarnated. What's wrong with waiting for five minutes? ... ... Here they come! People are coming! Those of you standing by the door, move, make room, let them get on the bus."
A group of people were crowded in a car with no seats to sit. They were already in a bad mood, and hearing Wang Xiulan bossing people around like that made them even angrier.
"Wang Xiulan, you grabbed a seat quickly. Of course, it's easier to talk while sitting. The car is packed with people. Where is there any room left—"
He stopped talking halfway through.
"Ahem," someone coughed a few times and laughed, "It turns out to be Comrade He. Please make way and come in quickly. Get in the car quickly. We're about to leave."
that's all.
A path was squeezed out from the originally crowded crowd to allow He Meijiao to get on the bus.
The people around were squeezed into a meat patty and dared not say anything.
Chu Yue watched this scene and heard Chen Fengying muttering in a low voice beside her, "Humph, isn't it because she has a grandfather who is a leader in the capital that everyone is afraid of her?"
I see……
Chu Yue finally figured out He Meijiao's background.
With a grandfather who was a chief in the capital, no wonder He Meijiao could act so arrogantly in the military camp and her sisters-in-law were all wary of her and afraid of her.
He Meijiao was not wearing a military uniform today, but was still wearing her white stockings, a plush long skirt, two thick and long black braids tied with red bows, and a fluffy snow-white scarf.
If she didn't look at people through her nose, she would be really pretty.
The vehicle started slowly, and the atmosphere inside was still depressing.
He Meijiao stood and glanced around the car, and saw Chu Yue sitting comfortably in the back seat.
Humph! What bad luck, I met her again!
Even a country girl like her had a seat to sit, but she could only stand.
He Meijiao's face turned ugly and her eyes were cold.
Wang Xiulan observed the expression on his face and immediately moved her butt to squeeze out a small seat with the people around her. "Comrade He, there is still room here. Please sit here."
He Meijiao took a look and said disdainfully, "How can I sit in such a small space? Don't ruin my new skirt! You asked me to go shopping, but why didn't you tell me there were so many people in the car! Stop the car! I'm not going! I want to get off!"
Amidst her complaints, Wang Xiulan looked around awkwardly. There were so many eyes watching her and so many ears listening in the car. She got close to He Meijiao just to please her.
Now that the eldest lady was angry, she could only continue to be servile and put on a smiling face.
"This car can't stop, Comrade He, I'll give you my seat, it will be spacious enough for you to sit alone!"
Wang Xiulan had to stand up and give her seat to He Meijiao, and the farce ended.
He Meijiao glared at Chu Yue arrogantly, as if she was the winner, and then sat down slowly.
Chu Yue rolled her eyes in her seat. Even a seat had to be compared. How boring was this young lady!
…
After an hour of shaking, the bus finally entered the city.
Chu Yue gradually saw a different scene. She thought that the remote town in the southwest must be very depressed, but the result was completely different from what she imagined.
There are cars coming and going on the road from time to time, and people are constantly flowing.
When we got near the supply and marketing cooperative, it was even more crowded.
Chen Fengying told Chu Yue, "Sister Chu, there are a lot of people at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the popular goods are selling very quickly. Don't worry about the market, because some bosses are in a hurry to go home in the afternoon and will sell at a low price. So we go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning and the market in the afternoon. When we get off the bus, you must follow me closely and we will line up quickly."
"good!"
Every world has its own rules. Whether it is modern society or the 1970s, it is all for the purpose of better survival.
Chu Yue listened to Chen Fengying. As soon as the car stopped, they got out and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative as quickly as possible.
There was already a long queue at this time, and the line stretched outside the door.
The two of them occupied a good position, looked at each other and laughed.
Chu Yue looked back and didn't see He Meijiao. It seemed that the eldest lady didn't like the supply and marketing cooperative and went shopping in the mall.
Without He Meijiao, Chu Yue felt a little more relieved.
The after-sales staff of the supply and marketing cooperative were all well-trained and sold goods very quickly, so after a while, it was Chu Yue and Chen Fengying's turn.
Chen Fengying's family was short of a bottle of soy sauce, a pound of brown sugar, and five pounds of flour. She prepared the money early and bought the items as needed.
Chu Yue was different. Her and Lu Zhanlin’s new home was empty and had nothing in it.
She didn't make a list, but just looked at the shelves in the supply and marketing cooperative and ordered whatever was available.
"Comrade, please give me two bottles of cooking oil, one bottle of soy sauce, one bottle of dark soy sauce, one bottle of white vinegar... ten pounds of flour, five pounds of sorghum, five pounds of cornmeal... do you have white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar? I want two pounds of all... and two of those yellow-printed enamel basins... and that - one can of milk powder and malted milk."
Chu Yue said a lot of things without stopping.
At first, it was just simple daily necessities. White sugar and brown sugar were already a lot, but she even asked for a can of milk powder and malted milk at once. Those two things are high-priced items and cost a lot of money.
Chen Fengying was stunned.
Many of the people standing in line behind Chu Yue were military wives who got off the bus together, and they were all shocked.
As for the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative, he looked Chu Yue up and down.
"Little girl, we need not only bills but also money to buy things here. Don't make fun of me. No one buys things like you. Go, go, go, go to the side and let the people behind you come."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Fengying became unhappy.
She spoke up, "Comrade, what's your attitude? Are you looking down on me?"
Chu Yue pulled Chen Fengying's sleeve and told her not to worry about it. "The bills and money you want are all here. Give me the ones I just mentioned first. I still want to buy other things."
The after-sales clerk took a thick stack from Chu Yue. It was actually full of bills and banknotes, almost enough for a family of two for a month.
I didn't expect that this young girl is so extraordinary.
He immediately put aside his prejudice and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry for what I did just now. I was just afraid of wasting the time of the people behind me. I'll give you what you want right now."
Chu Yue finished scanning the first batch of goods and looked at the wooden grids on the counter, which were filled with colorful candies.
They were all fruit candies, and the shiny wrappers looked pretty, but it was a pity there was no White Rabbit milk candy, as she quite missed that taste.
"Comrade, you can mix these candies. I want some of each, and I want the most red ones. I want five pounds in total. Here's the money."
"Okay, five pounds of bulk candy!"
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chu Yue walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a wide variety of goods.
She couldn't carry so many things by herself, so Chen Fengying used her bamboo backpack to help her load a lot of things.
"Sister Chen, thank you again." Chu Yue thanked her.
"These are all trivial matters..." Chen Fengying was frightened by Chu Yue's lavish spending and said worriedly, "Sister Chu, is it okay for you to buy things like this? Will Captain Lu be unhappy?"
"It's okay. Lu Zhanlin won't have any objections."
Lu Zhanlin gave her the golden first-class merit badge, so how could he care about these trivial things?
"Sister Chen, my family is short of everything, so I bought so much. When we have enough daily necessities, I won't buy so much. Think about it, aren't the things I bought necessary for every household?"
Although Chu Yue bought a lot, they were all real things. She didn't spend money indiscriminately on clothes or vanishing cream.
Chen Fengying thought about it and it was true.
The only out-of-the-ordinary expense was probably the five kilograms of candy.
Just as she was thinking, Chu Yue opened the oil paper wrapping the candy, grabbed a handful of colorful candies from it, and stuffed them into Chen Fengying's hand.
The corners of her mouth were raised high, revealing a sweet curve.
"Mrs. Chen, have some candy. This is the wedding candy between Lu Zhanlin and me. You can't refuse it."
