Chapter 74: All I bought were food and daily necessities.
Ma Siqing entered the supply and marketing cooperative, but she did not go to the counter. Instead, she found a quiet corner in the supply and marketing cooperative to rest.
She went over and sat down. When no one was around, she put two cloth bags used to carry things in the space.
When she was on the train, she had already sorted out the things she was going to take out. At
this moment, she put a chicken, thirty eggs, three pounds of meat, two pounds of white sugar, two pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of ginger, four pounds of dried soybeans, five pounds of pears, two packs of toilet paper, five packs of matches, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and wool into the cloth bags.
In addition, Ma Siqing also took a bottle of analgin and a bottle of paracetamol, in case someone had a headache or fever, they could be used for emergency.
Then he went to the counter and used the food coupons to exchange for ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of noodles, and
two kilograms of oil. After buying these things, Ma Siqing left the supply and marketing cooperative. When she was almost at the door, she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and walked to a place where the supply and marketing cooperative members could not see her, and took out the two cloth bags in the space.
Tong Shiyu's subordinates just came back from the toilet and thanked Tong Shiyu.
Tong Shiyu introduced his newlywed wife to his subordinates.
When the subordinates saw Ma Siqing, they stayed for a long time and could not help but said, "The head of the group's wife is so pretty."
Then they realized what they had said and their faces turned red.
"It's okay, you're right, she is beautiful and a pretty daughter-in-law."
Tong Shiyu also praised Ma Siqing in front of outsiders without any concealment, which made Ma Siqing blush.
The subordinates asked Tong Shiyu how he planned to return to the army, and it was estimated that he could still catch the train at this time.
Tong Shiyu asked Ma Siqing's opinion, should he return to the army or stay in Fuyuan Town for one night?
Ma Siqing thought it would be better not to waste money on the hotel, so she said that she should catch the train back.
Just like that, the two people became three people and went to buy train tickets.
Tong Shiyu took all the things in Ma Siqing's hands, and then he found that his wife had bought a lot of things.
Tong Shiyu felt a little guilty, because she married him, but she still had to pay for rice and noodles out of her own pocket. He
was even more determined to treat Ma Siqing well in the future. After that, Tong Shiyu handed over all his wages.
Along the way, the subordinate Zhong Guofan kept asking Tong Shiyu where he found such a good wife, and Tong Shiyu just said that he rescued her on the road.
The hero saves the beauty, and the beauty gives herself to him.
He omitted the part where Ma Siqing had done him a favor and he had been searching for her for six years.
Ma Siqing listened to their conversation with a smile on her face.
Zhong Guofan is from the south. He responded to the call of the head of state and joined the army to serve his country. He never thought that he, a southerner, would be assigned to a unit in the snow and ice. He
suffered a lot when he was a rookie.
However, he had a strong will and great faith to support him, and he managed to get through the three months in the recruit company smoothly. He
worked hard all the way and finally became a squad leader.
When he went back for his family visit, his family found a marriage for him. He liked the girl very much and got engaged. He
also asked Tong Shiyu what conditions were required for his family to follow the army.
Tong Shiyu told him one by one.
When we returned to the army, it was completely dark.
Chen Xiaowei was waiting at the door of his house.
When I saw a flashlight coming over me, I knew it was Tong Shiyu and the others who were back.
Hurry up and help get things.
"Sister-in-law, you went to town today and bought so many things?"
"Well, I don't have anything at home, so I just bought some."
Chen Xiaowei took out twenty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Ma Siqing's hand.
"Sister-in-law, this is my monthly food allowance."
"Even if you pay for food, you won't be able to use this much. You still have to save money to marry a wife. That's quite interesting."
Ma Siqing only took one of them.
"This is considered a month's food expenses."
Eating in the canteen, a soldier's food expenses for a day is about 50 cents to 60 cents.
The money Chen Xiaowei gave was just enough for one month.
But Ma Siqing thought that Chen Xiaowei didn't come here to eat every day, so she only needed to charge half.
If she didn't charge, Chen Xiaowei would definitely not dare to come to their house for dinner in the future. Charging too much would not be appropriate, so she compromised.
Ma Siqing stuffed the other ten-yuan bill back into Chen Xiaowei's hand.
"Brother Shiyu, you keep the money. I can't take advantage of you. My sister-in-law doesn't have a job now, and you don't save any of your wages."
Tong Shiyu: "Listen to your sister-in-law's arrangements. If you and Sulan can succeed, you will have more places to spend money than us."
Chen Xiaowei thought about it and put the money back in his pocket.
Anyway, he has plenty of opportunities to squeeze things into this house in various ways. At worst, he can just bring things home when he goes to Fuyuan Town.
Ma Siqing let the two of them chat and went down to the kitchen.
The chicken and meat taken out from the space today had already frozen into ice cubes when they came back.
Ma Siqing put the chicken in the storage tank in the kitchen, thinking of making a freezer tomorrow and freezing all the meat.
The pork is fat and lean.
In this era, there is a shortage of oil and water, so Ma Siqing chose pork with fat and lean meat split in half in the space supermarket. The meat
was frozen into ice cubes, so Ma Siqing just cut the meat into thin slices, added some ginger slices and soy sauce, and fried it.
It was late, and it was too late to make noodles.
While cutting the meat, the two-grain rice was also steamed.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat.
Chen Xiaowei could smell it from the next room. He entered the kitchen and saw stars in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, do we have meat tonight?"
"Yes, I bought meat today. You can try it later to see if it tastes good."
When she saw that the rice was almost cooked, Ma Siqing cracked an egg and steamed a custard egg.
Half an hour later, dinner was ready.
A plate of fried pork slices, an egg foo young, and a plate of salted vegetables.
Ma Siqing took out two pounds of soybeans today, intending to make tofu and then share some with the neighbors.
She got married, and everyone came to the wedding banquet, and it was time for her to return the favor.
When spring comes, she will plant some vegetables and then share some with the neighbors.
There are several open spaces in the military compound.
The three of them started to eat dinner.
Ma Siqing did not fry the meat very dry, but only fried it to bring out a little oil, so that it tasted more filling.
It also allowed Tong Shiyu and Chen Xiaowei to absorb the fat in the meat very well.
Everyone has been hungry for too long.
She has never been hungry since her rebirth, and she has never been short of meat and fruit.
In a few months, she had kept her body in good shape almost like in her previous life.
But she didn't dare to perform her moves in front of Tong Shiyu.
Chen Xiaowei had a hearty meal, and oil stains could be seen on the corners of his mouth.
Tong Shiyu was even more grateful in his heart.
It was hard to find a daughter-in-law like this even with a lantern, but he still found her.
He was a winner in life.
After dinner, Chen Xiaowei told Tong Shiyu that his marriage ended early and asked him to return to the team tomorrow.
Tong Shiyu nodded after receiving the order.
Chen Xiaowei rolled back to his dormitory with interest, letting the newlyweds get along with each other, and he wanted to hold his eldest nephew as soon as possible.
This mission is more difficult, and it is estimated that he will not be back for ten days or half a month.
