"What's wrong? Why is the commander angry?"
"Who knows? It must be because of Li Dajun, right?"
The sisters-in-law watched the commotion and started discussing it amongst themselves.
It was the first time they had ever seen their leader so angry, and even the initial shock was somewhat lessened.
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, my husband Zhuang Mingcheng borrowed the regiment's military vehicle because he was about to go on a mission."
Lu Fangfang frowned and came out to explain.
She never expected that Zhu Haiming would bring up her own family.
"Pah, what's the difference? We're all using military vehicles. Yours is fine, but mine is considered a mistake? Isn't this blatant disrespect?"
Zhu Haiming was furious. Ever since she joined the troupe, nothing had gone right for her.
She's been putting up with this for so long, and even using a beat-up car gets her scolded. If this were in Shanghai, she wouldn't even bother using it.
"Zhu Haiming, look back at the things in the car. In our residential compound, who dares to look down on you?"
Lu Fangfang was getting impatient.
Forehead……
Zhu Haiming opened her mouth and gave a soft hum.
Looking at the two drivers beside her, she felt worried again. There were so many things in the car; she couldn't unload them all by herself.
"Comrade Haiming, where did you buy all these things?"
"Yes, these things are expensive and require tickets. Comrade Hai Mei, how do you have so many tickets?"
"Comrade Hai Mei, what does your family do?"
The women's sisters-in-law curiously gathered around.
Looking at the things in the car, they all started asking about Zhu Haiming's background.
Zhu Haiming's eyes lit up, and an idea formed in her mind. "My family is from Shanghai, so tickets aren't a problem. I have connections and can get them. If you ladies need them..."
She didn't say the last thing, but her sisters-in-law were already excited when they heard it.
Those who can come to the family compound to accompany military personnel must have spouses who are at least battalion-level officers, and their monthly allowance plus salary is at least seventy or eighty yuan.
The women didn't lack money; what they lacked most was ration coupons. Only with coupons could they spend their money.
"Comrade Hai Mei, can you get a bicycle ticket?"
Jiang Xiuhong grabbed Zhu Haiming's arm, her face full of anticipation.
Her children have to walk to the nearby state-run ranch to go to school every day. If they had bicycles, it would be much more convenient.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Zhu Haiming hesitated for a moment. She pulled Jiang Xiuhong aside and whispered, "It's possible, but these bicycle tickets are very precious, so... well..."
"I understand, I understand, I'll take, cough cough, I'll exchange something for it."
Jiang Xiuhong had an expression that said she understood perfectly.
The women were even more excited to see that they could even get bicycle tickets.
Needless to say, Zhu Haimei must have a powerful background.
The sisters-in-law, guessing what was going on, all approached Zhu Haiming and quietly told her what tickets they needed.
"Comrade Hai Mei, can you get your hands on a watch ticket?"
Do you have radio tickets?
"I need a hostage, Comrade Hai Mei, can you get one?"
...
"Sisters, I'm not sure if I can get them, I'll just try my best. I still have some tickets on hand. How about we go to my house later and you can see if you need them?"
As soon as Zhu Haiming finished speaking, her sisters-in-law immediately agreed.
What followed was perfectly natural: the women spontaneously began unloading the things from the car for Zhu Haiming.
"this……"
Lu Fangfang was dumbfounded.
Looking at Zhu Haiming, she felt that Zhu Haiming was more like a time traveler than she was.
He just arrived at the family compound and started doing business with the women, dealing in all sorts of tickets. It's like a time-traveling story.
Unlike her, who doesn't even dare to go to the black market, she just keeps her head down and grows things.
"But...but...isn't it a bit too early? We're not in our 70s or 80s, we're in the early 'ten years'!"
Lu Fangfang glanced at it again, then quickly picked up the basin and left.
This is a huge bombshell. It's best to stay away from people like Zhu Haiming, lest it explode and splatter blood all over you.
...
"snort."
Zhu Haiming watched Lu Fangfang walk away, her smile widening.
Turning to her sisters-in-law, she said loudly, "My wedding with Dajun is on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. You all must come! I'll treat you all to meat. If any of your family members are free, you're also welcome to come."
"Comrade Hai Mei, I will definitely come with my man to participate, so don't worry."
"Me too."
The women responded enthusiastically.
In the distance, another woman came running over. Zhu Haiming smiled and turned around to look, only to find that it was Yang Yufeng.
Zhu Haiming went to greet her, intending to ask the woman to help her unload her things, when she heard her scream.
"My goodness, how much does this cost? Even a capitalist's daughter wouldn't get married with this kind of extravagance!"
Zhu Haiming's face stiffened.
"Hey, a bicycle! Hai Mei, I still can't ride a bicycle. Can I borrow your bicycle for a bit?"
Yang Yufeng was never polite to anyone.
Seeing the bicycle on the military vehicle, she walked past Zhu Haiming and strode over.
She climbed onto the military vehicle and unloaded the bicycle, her eyes shining as she touched it.
Zhu Haiming: "..."
After giving a few perfunctory words, she quickly grabbed the bicycle and pushed it back to her own yard.
Yang Yufeng didn't feel embarrassed at all. She stared at the half pig next to her and started drooling again.
Such a big pig, I wish it were hers.
...
East Family Compound.
Lu Fangfang was hanging clothes to dry at home, but she was still thinking about what had just happened.
She had to admire her; no wonder she was the daughter of a capitalist, her eye for making money was really sharp, she even thought of rigging tickets with her sisters-in-law.
