The next day, Huo Bai arrived right after breakfast, and he even brought his car.
Because his father wasn't going, He Lixuan finally didn't have to stay huddled in the back of the car.
Because they needed to buy medicine, the group went to the military hospital first.
With Deputy Commander Lü's promise, things went smoothly. The hospital staff prepared a month's supply of medicine for Shiyue and Fu Yunfang, according to the prescription given by Aunt Shen.
A full sixty packs!
The traditional Chinese medicine alone took up almost half of the trunk space.
Fearing that everyone would worry, Huo Bai comforted them.
They said that although they would indeed have a tough time when they first arrived at the base, the supply ship would definitely arrive on time.
If they need anything, they can ask the people on the ship to speak for them, and we will bring it over with the next delivery.
As for getting sick, there's no need to worry. The base has a medical clinic, and a military doctor will definitely come with you.
Commonly used medicines will also be available.
As for the traditional Chinese medicine, Huo Bai promised to have Shi Yue copy a prescription for him, and he would have someone deliver it to him on time.
With Huo Bai's promise, everyone felt more at ease.
With Grandpa He relinquishing his responsibilities, his sons dared not shirk their duties any longer.
Aside from the Shiyue couple, who have their own space and don't have to worry about daily necessities, the other two have to seriously start thinking about buying things.
When He Lixue and Professor Liang were taken to the Forward Brigade, they were practically like two wild men, without any personal belongings.
Even the bedding on the bed and the clothes they wore were temporarily provided by Shiyue and He Lixuan.
Later, although I bought some more, they were all winter clothes!
In Nanping, there is only one season a year, and even in the coldest time, the lowest temperature can reach above 15 degrees Celsius.
Their old clothes are definitely no longer usable.
Therefore, his immediate priority is to buy clothes, and of course, he also needs to buy other daily necessities.
He Liping has a wife and daughter. Even if he himself is not too particular, he still has to buy things for his wife and daughter!
Moreover, Jiajia is getting older every day, and who knows when the child will be able to leave the base?
So in addition to clothes, you should also buy some other things, including shoes.
He Liping actually wanted to buy her daughter a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary, and preferably some other children's books as well.
But upon inquiring, he learned that all the bookstores in Nanping had been vandalized, so he could only sigh silently and put the book away.
Seeing this, Shiyue quietly nudged her husband, He Lixuan, who whispered in his older brother's ear, "Uncle Shen left some books for Shiyue. I'll go back and see if there are any suitable for Jiajia."
He Liping was very surprised.
I was amazed that this couple had traveled so far and even brought the books with them!
But at the same time, I was also very excited!
Book!
Dean Shen's collection of books!
It goes without saying that they must be good stuff!
Even if there aren't any books suitable for Jiajia to read right now, having books means there's hope, and at least their future days won't be too boring.
Three grown men, when it comes to picking things out, still have to rely on Shiyue.
Especially when buying fabric.
They have no idea what's suitable or cost-effective.
Shiyue simply gathered all the cloth coupons, industrial coupons, and non-staple food coupons from several families and started a shopping spree.
Because it's not easy for them to come to the city, and given their special circumstances, they needed to purchase daily necessities before going to the island.
So yesterday, Deputy Commander Lü specially approved a note, instructing the finance department to advance them three months' salary and subsidies. Today, Huo Bai brought the money and vouchers with him.
Shiyue tidied up her things, then added the cloth coupons to her personal space and used them all to buy cloth.
She bought the two cheapest types of fabric: a grayish-white fine linen and a white, slightly thicker coarse cotton.
I bought two whole rolls.
After seeing the fabric she bought, the men all wore expressions that were hard to describe.
He Liping couldn't help but cough twice and said, "Sister-in-law, I have some money with me. If it's not enough, I'll give you another two hundred."
"Um, Jiajia is still young..."
How could Shiyue not understand what he meant?
She explained with a smile, "Brother, I still have two pieces of floral fabric in my bag, which I bought in the provincial capital before."
I'll give it to my sister-in-law later to make a dress for Jiajia.
I'll take these fabrics back and re-dye them, so we'll have enough clothes for everyone. It's not cost-effective to buy them individually.
"You can dye cloth?" He Liping was very surprised.
"What's so difficult about that? How many of us country folk can afford to buy cloth in the city? We all weave and dye our own."
He Liping fell silent.
Besides buying fabric, they also bought a lot of daily necessities, such as towels, soap, and toilet paper.
In addition, He Lixue also bought several notebooks, two fountain pens, and five bottles of ink.
He Liping also bought ten pencils, several erasers, and a pencil sharpener.
They each bought a pair of plastic sandals and also brought a pair for each of the family members who couldn't come.
He Liping also bought a brand-new hair tie for his wife and daughter.
The wife's is blue, and the daughter's is pink.
After a shopping spree, the sky had already turned dusky.
The back of the car was almost overflowing with cargo.
They didn't go back to the guesthouse for dinner that night. Instead, Huo Bai took them to a restaurant near the sea, saying it was run by a nearby fishing village.
