It is said to be barter, but many transactions are still made with money. To put it bluntly, money is also a thing, so there is nothing wrong with exchanging it.
There is already a long queue of people setting up stalls in the market, looking inside from the entrance...
There is no end in sight.
Ming Leyao protected Lin Yuzhen and followed the crowd inside, looking at the stalls from time to time, trying to see if there was anything they needed.
"There's a store selling insoles over there. I'll go buy a few pairs. My hands have been swollen for the past few months and they hurt at night. I can't even hold a needle and thread. I can't even make the shoe pattern, so I can only buy ready-made ones."
"That's great. I'll buy a few pairs too."
The two stopped in front of a stall selling insoles. The stall was run by an elderly comrade with a head full of silver hair. He just sat on the ground. In front of him was a piece of cloth covered with patches, and on it were piles of colorful insoles in various sizes. Next to them were tiger-head shoes for children, which looked particularly interesting.
"Old man, how much are these insoles?"
"One penny, two pairs."
"Give me ten pairs, then."
Insoles are also a consumable item and will break if you brush them too often.
Lin Yuzhen chose three sizes, just enough for the family of three, with four pairs for the adults and two pairs for the little one.
Ming Leyao also bought ten pairs, but there were only two people in her family.
After paying for the insoles, Ming Leyao set her eyes on the cute tiger-head shoes. She picked up one pair that was obviously the size for babies and asked, "Grandma, how much are these little shoes?"
"This one is 20 cents a pair."
"What about this bigger one?"
"The older Sanmao."
"Then I'll buy three pairs."
"well.."
When the old lady heard that this was a big customer, she quickly put away the shoes and handed them to Ming Leyao. After Ming Leyao paid the money, she pulled Lin Yuzhen forward.
"Hey? Big sister? Are you...pregnant too?"
"No, big sister, I've only been married to my boyfriend for a short time, and we've been apart for such a long time, how can it be that fast?"
"So you...buy shoes..."
"Of course it's a gift for the baby in your belly."
"Ah? Isn't it a bit early to give a meeting gift? Besides, one pair is enough. How can a child wear shoes? When the child is a few months old, it's enough to show your appreciation."
"How is that possible? There are two of them. How can we divide them if there is only one pair?"
"What? Two? My little treasure can't wear those little shoes."
"I said, there are two babies in your belly."
Lin Yuzhen "......"
"???????"
She was stunned on the spot. Xiaobao, who was following beside her, saw her mother stopped there and looked up in confusion.
Seeing that her mother's expression was not very good, she hurriedly asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Is... is it going to break?"
Ming Leyao "..."
This kid is honest...
When Lin Yuzhen was shopping in the market, she was in a daze. It was not until she and Ming Leyao walked from the beginning to the end and then from the end to the beginning, and realized that there was really nothing to buy, that they walked back.
On the way, she carefully confirmed with Ming Leyao.
"Sister.. is what you said.. true?"
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know when the melons are ripe and fall to the ground."
"Yeah, yeah... I'm still a little nervous. When I gave birth to my first child, I was in so much pain. If I give birth to two..."
Suddenly I felt a little scared.
"Sister Lin, you are an experienced person, so what are you afraid of? It's okay. I'll take care of everything for you. I'll make sure everything goes smoothly for you."
"ah?"
To be honest, Lin Yuzhen still doesn't understand why Ming Leyao could tell at once that she was pregnant with two children, and why she could say so confidently that she was responsible for everything...
"Sister Lin, I haven't told you yet, I'm a doctor, a certified doctor, so when I say I'm here, I'm not lying to you."
"Ah? You...you know medical skills?"
"Of course, otherwise how would I know you were pregnant with two?"
"Okay... sister, you are really amazing. Oh, I feel relieved now."
With a doctor she knew, Lin Yuzhen felt she was better again.
When he got home, Fu Wencheng was already preparing the dishes he would need for tonight.
As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by the dog's cheerful little steps, and looking at its smug expression, he knew that Fu Wencheng was walking it in the army today, and it was very satisfied.
"You're back, wife, what did you buy?"
"I didn't buy anything, just a few pairs of insoles and three pairs of tiger-head shoes for the three children of Sister Lin."
"What? Three kids?"
"Yes, Sister Lin is pregnant again. When I went there, I took a look and found out that she was pregnant with twins."
"......"
I didn't expect Wan Xin to be so powerful, he hit two targets with one shot...
Fu Wencheng didn't hear any envious tone from his wife's mouth, so he knew that his wife was not very positive about having children. After all, he was not in a hurry, and it would be nice to enjoy their world of two more.
The dog was locked in the north bedroom, and Ming Leyao came to the kitchen to help. At noon, the two of them simply ate the leftovers from the morning and took a short nap. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they started to work again.
Not many people came this time. There were no leaders, but we did invite Uncle Qi's family and a few comrades with whom we have a good relationship. Fortunately, the rest were Duan Yangbing's family across the street.
One table definitely couldn't accommodate all the people, so Fu Wencheng didn't go to someone else's house to move a table, but directly moved the one from Duan Yangbing's house.
Lin Yuzhen came early with Xiaobao, at 4:30. Fu Wencheng drove his wife out of the kitchen and asked her to entertain the guests, while he stayed in the kitchen.
Ming Leyao took out melon seeds, peanuts, candies, apples and cut watermelon, poured some tea, and then invited the mother and daughter to come and sit down.
"This is... too rich."
"These melon seeds and peanuts are essential for warming the house. I bought a lot of them. Eat more, big sister. When you leave, give some to Xiaobao. Otherwise, if they are left out for a long time, they will get damp and won't taste good anymore."
"No, no, it's fine this time, where else can I get it?"
Lin Yuzhen is still very persistent on this point.
The two were chatting. At around five o'clock, there was a knock on the door. It was Qiao Xiaoran from the opposite side who came over. Ming Leyao introduced the two to each other. Unexpectedly, the two of them got along quite well.
When it was almost six o'clock, several male comrades walked into the house together, among them were Wan Xin and Duan Yangbing.
Except for this person, everyone else saw Ming Leyao for the first time. In the past, they had only heard that their leader's wife was pretty, and that was the only concept in their minds. Now that they saw the real person...
They were immediately envious. They also wanted a fairy-like wife like this.
