Chapter 49 Zhang Hongmei
After Gu Zheng left, Lin Yunxi returned to her room, hugged her son and had a good sleep, feeling much more energetic.
Yanyan slept for a while in the morning and woke up early in the afternoon. After waking up, she sat on the bed alone and played with exquisite little toys.
Lin Yunxi kissed her son's chubby little cheek and praised him, "Baby is so good."
Yanyan also kissed her mother and raised her hand to show her the nine-ring chain that she had just solved.
"Mom, look, the baby untied it himself."
"Wow, our good baby is so smart. Mom couldn't figure it out when she was your age." Lin Yunxi praised with an exaggerated expression.
Praise is as important to children as sunlight is to plants. Children who receive praise will feel better about themselves and have better self-evaluation.
Therefore, Lin Yunxi did not hesitate to give Yanyan praise, and tried his best to give her the sense of value, trust and self-confidence she needed.
Little Gu Jiayan also liked her mother's trick and laughed with her mouth wide open.
Taking advantage of the time when he woke up from his nap, Lin Yunxi took out some items such as bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, tablecloths, thermos bottles, bowls, chopsticks, cups, etc. from the space and decorated the house.
Of course, Yanyan is getting older and older, and his ability to explore the world is getting stronger and stronger.
So Lin Yunxi now tries not to use the space in front of her son, so as to avoid her little secret being exposed.
Because they were going to invite people to dinner in the evening, around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yunxi led Yanyan to the outside of the military district's family compound.
Since there are many family members in the military region, the military leaders set up special shops, vegetable shops, post offices, credit unions and other infrastructure directly outside the military region.
It is mainly to facilitate the military families and the common people living nearby to go shopping.
Lin Yunxi's first stop was the vegetable shop. Perhaps because it was afternoon, most of the green vegetables were wilted.
She didn't even think about it and thought that she could just pick some from Zhang Hongmei's yard on the way.
The military area is located very close to the sea, so the shop also sells some seafood such as clams, scallops, mussels, cockles, blue crabs, sea fish, etc., which look quite fresh.
Lin Yunxi calculated in his mind and symbolically bought three pounds of clams, three pounds of scallops, six large blue crabs, two pounds of conchs and a wild yellow croaker weighing more than three pounds.
She has plenty of pork, chicken, duck, goose, freshwater fish and prawns in her space, and the taste is much better than those sold outside, so there is no need to spend money to buy them.
The most surprising thing is that for so many seafood, I only spent less than one dollar in the end, with only the yellow croaker being a little more expensive.
In this era, the marine ecological environment is relatively good and fishery resources are abundant. In addition, domestic transportation is inconvenient, so products can only be sold locally.
Except for places near the sea, people in most parts of our country do not have the habit of eating seafood, and any seafood caught that is not eaten will be thrown away.
Therefore, the price of seafood is very cheap, and even people living near the sea are reluctant to eat it.
Afterwards, Lin Yunxi took Yanyan to a state-owned store, where the goods sold there were similar to those in the supply and marketing cooperative in his hometown.
She directly bought five bottles of Moutai liquor, in addition to the ones for the dinner party tonight.
They had just moved, so they would definitely invite Gu Zheng's men to their home for a meal.
It is inevitable to visit the leader's home, and liquor is indispensable, so it is better to buy everything at once.
When he was three hundred meters away from the sentry post, Lin Yunxi took out three pounds of pork belly, three pounds of ribs and a processed whole chicken from the space.
This was enough to eat, and the two of them slowly walked into the courtyard.
When passing by Zhang Hongmei's yard, Lin Yunxi went up and knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law, are you home?"
Soon, Zhang Hongmei's loud voice came from the yard: "Is that Miss Yunxi? Come in quickly."
Pushing open the gate, Zhang Hongmei was sitting under the eaves sewing clothes. She pointed to the small vegetable garden beside her and said.
"Sister, pick whatever vegetables you want to eat yourself, don't be polite to your sister-in-law."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."
The vegetable garden that Zhang Hongmei tends to is quite good. There are many varieties of vegetables, and each one grows strong and vigorous.
The temperature in Province Z is very suitable all year round. Thinking of his empty yard, Lin Yunxi has already been thinking about how to clean it up.
In addition to growing commonly eaten vegetables, she also wants to plant various varieties of fruit trees so that she can take out the vegetables and fruits in the space openly.
In addition, a space should be cleared out to build a simple playground for Yanyan, with swings, slides, climbing frames and sand tables.
These days, after Lin Yunxi's observation, it seems that Gu Zheng doesn't care much about family matters. Apart from doing housework, he seems to be a hands-off boss.
So as long as she doesn't use the space too obviously, she doesn't have to worry about being discovered.
Here, Lin Yunxi went into the vegetable garden and picked two handfuls of lettuce and four or five cucumbers, preparing to make garlic lettuce and smashed cucumbers in the evening.
When Zhang Hongmei saw that Lin Yunxi only picked so few vegetables, she thought she was embarrassed.
He simply went forward and picked a pumpkin and two large cabbages and stuffed them all into Lin Yunxi's basket.
"How can this amount of vegetables be enough to eat? Listen to my sister-in-law. Before your vegetable garden is ready, come to our house to pick them."
Lin Yunxi felt a little embarrassed. After all, it would take at least a month to clean up the vegetable garden.
It would be fine if she came to pick the fruits once or twice, but if she came for ten days or half a month, even if Sister Hongmei had no objection, she would not have the face to do so.
"Sister-in-law, how about this? Every time I come to pick vegetables, I'll give you a discount based on the outside price, okay?"
Zhang Hongmei frowned and replied disapprovingly: "Look at how well these vegetables are growing. Our family of four can't finish them all. I don't know how much has been wasted. Feel free to pick them."
Lin Yunxi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please bring Brother Zhao and the children to our house for a meal today."
Since Gu Zheng said that he could be on good terms with Sister Hongmei, it meant that he had the same political views as the eldest brother of the Zhao family at work or they did not conflict with each other.
Now that she has chosen this man, Lin Yunxi doesn't really like dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships.
But she will also maintain good relations with these family members and will not hold her men back.
What's more, Sister Hongmei has a generous personality, is capable and unconventional in her work, and has no bad intentions. She is a friend worth making close friends with.
"You two just arrived and haven't bought everything yet. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to go." Zhang Hongmei refused.
Lin Yunxi pointed at her fully stuffed basket and spoke in a soft voice.
"I bought so many vegetables that I may not have enough time to clean them up. How about you help me and stay at home for dinner?"
