Chapter 99: Big Shopping



You can take the army’s car to the city, where you can find everything.

The county town in my hometown is definitely not comparable to the city here. It is much bigger here.

When Zhou Sui Sui arrived in the city, he went to the department store to buy pots, pans, chopsticks and other things. Zhou Sui Sui actually saw a coal stove there and bought one.

There were so many things to buy that the two of them couldn't carry them all, so they simply rented an ox cart for 80 cents.

"Isn't there gas installed in our house? What should we do?" Zhou Suisui asked.

"This army will come to us for peace."

"When will you come?"

"This afternoon, probably."

Zhou Suisui put the first batch of things on the ox cart and asked Gu Jingheng to watch it. She said she would buy the rest herself.

"Do you know the way? Don't get lost again on your first visit." Gu Jingheng was worried about this.

"Don't worry, I know the way, you just need to stay here."

"Why don't I go? Just tell me what you want to buy." Gu Jingheng said.

"No, no, you don't know what to buy, how to buy it, or what kind to buy. You can do it right here, don't worry."

Are you kidding? If Gu Jingheng follows him all the time, how will Zhou Suisui get things from the space?

Gu Jingheng had no choice but to listen to his wife and wait here.

After a while, Gu Jingheng saw his wife carrying fifty kilograms of rice back.

Gu Jingheng: “…”

My friend was shocked. It was so heavy, how could she carry it on her small body?

Gu Jingheng walked over quickly and took it. As soon as he took it, he felt that this bag of rice must have weighed fifty kilograms.

"Wife, how can you carry it when it's so heavy?" Gu Jingheng asked.

"Oh, no problem, I'm very strong." Zhou Suisui said indifferently.

"There's more." Zhou Suisui turned around and ran away.

"Hey!" Gu Jingheng held Erkang's hand and tried to stop him but failed.

Forget it, I'd better not make my wife angry in the future, otherwise it would be worth it if she beat me up, it would hurt, Gu Jingheng thought.

After a while, Zhou Suisui came back with another bag of noodles. After Gu Jingheng took it, she ran away without saying a word.

Then when I came back, I was holding a big bag of mung beans, soybeans, red beans, millet, cornmeal and other miscellaneous things.

"...Wife, are you tired?" Gu Jingheng asked tentatively.

"I'm not tired. I haven't finished shopping yet. I'm leaving now."

This time, Gu Jingheng quickly grabbed Zhou Suisui and said, "Wife, I think you're tired. How about I go and you take a rest?"

Zhou Suisui shook his head frantically: "No, no, I still need to buy some seasonings, meat and vegetables, etc. It's not heavy anymore."

"Okay, then go ahead." Gu Jingheng felt relieved after hearing that.

She doesn't want to buy anything. There are plenty of these things in the space.

Besides, it’s already this late, how could there be any meat left when you go to buy it? Even if there is, it won’t be as fresh as in the morning, and it might be what others have left.

Zhou Suisui took out three pounds of pork belly, a piece of pork ribs, some spinach, rapeseed, cucumbers, tomatoes, and some fruits from the space, including some strawberries and oranges.

Then he took out some soy sauce, soybean oil, vinegar, chicken essence, oyster sauce, peppercorns, star anise and so on, and his hands were also two big bags full.

Zhou Suisui went back satisfied.

Since Gu Jingheng had just seen his wife carrying fifty kilograms of rice, he thought these things were a piece of cake.

His wife has a slender waist and a slim figure, so he thinks he is too thin.

As a result, he carried the fifty kilograms of rice and flour on his back without hesitation.

Gu Jingheng felt that since he had been away from home for so many years, his wife must have suffered a lot and that was why she could do everything like she did now.

The more Gu Jingheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and the more guilty he felt.

What Zhou Suisui saw was Gu Jingheng who was about to cry.

"What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?" Zhou Suisui asked in surprise.

No, with his physique and wearing a military uniform, who can bully him?

"Wife, you have worked so hard." Gu Jingheng said with a sob.

?

She was a little tired, but Gu Jingheng wouldn't be so moved that he would cry.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back quickly. I've almost bought everything." If you remember that you are missing something later, you can come back and buy it. The bus to the city runs once every two days.

When they went back, Zhou Suisui and Gu Jingheng did not take the army's vehicle, but went back on an ox cart.

After returning to the family compound, everyone who saw it was shocked. It looked like he had bought a whole cart of stuff. He must be so rich.

However, some people think that Zhou Suisui is a spendthrift and doesn't know how to live at all.

When the family members who came to join the army first arrived, they basically brought a lot of bags. They brought almost everything they could from home to save them from buying more things and spending more money.

There are very few places like Zhou Sui Sui where everything is purchased ready-made.

Some people started talking about it.

"You said Captain Gu only has a fixed monthly allowance. How many months' allowance would it take to make so many things?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe they will save money." Some people dare not talk nonsense.

"I saw that Battalion Commander Gu's wife and the children were wearing better clothes than the people in the city, and there were no patches on them at all," someone said.

Not to mention the people in the city, even the wives of these soldiers have patches on their clothes.

These days, even military families live frugally. After all, in addition to the couple and their children, they also have parents to support.

No one is rich.

"Hey, do you think Captain Gu's wife is a capitalist lady? I see all the good stuff on that ox cart, and her temperament is also like that."

You can't say that. People and the environment are very sensitive nowadays.

"Hey, don't say that. Military marriages all require political review. If that's the case, they won't even pass the review. That's definitely not the case."

"Yeah, yeah, don't talk nonsense. If this gets you into trouble, you'll be in big trouble."

"That's right, you just said she was a capitalist's daughter for no reason. If someone with ulterior motives heard it, she would suffer an unexpected disaster."

That person just speaks his mind without thinking.

She regretted what she said the moment she said it. It was really inappropriate.

Now that people have talked about it, she hasn't said anything.

Zhou Suisui had no idea that these military wives were talking about her behind her back. She was busy moving and packing things.

These things were in a mess, and it took her and Gu Jingheng half a day to clean them up.

After cleaning up, Zhou Suisui lay down on the sofa like Ge You.

Suddenly I remembered that I haven’t eaten yet. It’s okay for adults, but the eldest child and the others are still young, so they can’t not eat.

"Big one, second one, third one, are you hungry? Let me cook for you?" Zhou Suisui asked.

Gu Jingheng came out and said, "Don't do it. You're tired after a day. I'll cook today."

"Okay, then you do it. I'm sorry to interrupt your chance to show off your skills."

Gu Jingheng walked into the kitchen with a smile, and soon the fragrance came from the kitchen.

Gu Jingheng made scrambled eggs with cucumber, stir-fried rapeseed, and stewed pork with cabbage. The staple food was rice.
