Chapter 520: Afraid of being misunderstood
Bai Zhi listened to the conversation between the military wives and could completely understand their concerns.
I admire them very much. They are truly conscientious military wives who keep their public and private matters very separate and do not cause trouble for their husbands.
Bai Zhi sensed their concerns and suggested, "How about we all buy a set and split the cost? It won't be much."
"Split equally?" Liu Guifang and the others looked at Bai Zhi in surprise.
"This is just my personal suggestion," Bai Zhi said with a smile. "Just think of it as us aunties and uncles loving the child. It has nothing to do with our husbands. Besides, it's probably only a dozen yuan per person, so it can't be considered bribery or using connections."
Sister Wang completely agreed with Bai Zhi's idea. She nodded and said, "I think Xiao Bai's idea is good. By splitting the costs, no one will gossip."
Liu Guifang also thought it was feasible, "Okay, then let's go take a look at the clothing store over there."
The women wandered into a children's clothing store.
I chose a brown leather jacket with a fur collar and a small bear pattern on the left chest.
There's also a pair of corduroy pants.
Under the combined pressure of their experienced bargaining tactics.
Cut the original price by 30%.
It cost a total of sixty yuan.
Everything in this small town market is overpriced.
There's no other way; this place is remote, and the cost of sourcing goods is high.
Apart from agricultural products, everything else is expensive.
Wang Xiufen said, "Then we'll each pay twelve yuan."
"good."
Bai Zhi could tell that Liu Guifang didn't have much money. She took out a large bill and said to the women, "I'll pay for it directly. You can give me the money back when we get back, so we can save time."
"Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back."
Several women couldn't help but admire Bai Zhi's financial power; she had just bought three major home appliances yesterday, and today she was still bringing large sums of money to the market.
This girl is something else.
After that, everyone bought some things.
Bai Zhi bought mostly vegetables, as well as a lot of seasonings.
I'm planning to have hot pot during the Chinese New Year.
I also bought two fish from the seafood store, as well as dried goods such as vermicelli and wood ear mushrooms.
If it weren't for Liu Guifang and the others helping her carry them, she wouldn't have been able to lift all these things.
Once they got to the courtyard, everyone put down their belongings and then planned to let Xiaowei try on the clothes.
Liu Guifang whispered to Bai Zhi, "Call Xiaowei to your house, don't bring him to my house. I'm afraid my son will be angry if he sees that I bought new clothes for Xiaowei and he doesn't have any."
“Okay.” Bai Zhi smiled. “Then I’ll take the things upstairs first, and you can bring the children up later.”
She invited several older women, saying, "These clothes were bought by everyone, so please come!"
Bai Zhi hummed a song as she went upstairs, with Wang Yumei following behind. Seeing how happy she was, and thinking about how her husband was still angry with her, she felt particularly irritable.
Remembering Liu Guifang's words about how healing depends on fate, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhi's retreating figure.
Is this reliable?
Bai Zhi, completely unaware of Wang Yumei's inner thoughts, opened the door and stuffed everything in the kitchen into the refrigerator.
The refrigerator was completely full, and all the dry goods were stored in the kitchen cabinets.
Then I boiled water in the electric kettle.
The water had just boiled when Liu Guifang and the others could be heard from the doorway.
"Yu Mei, come on in, let's go in together. We're all neighbors, what are you being so shy about?"
Bai Zhi opened the door and saw several older women outside, with Liu Guifang holding Zhang Zhengwei's son's hand. She was calling to Wang Yumei, who was standing over there.
Xiao Wei's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Zhi.
He tilted his head back and greeted her in a clear, crisp voice, "Auntie, the angel in white."
"You have such a sweet tongue." Bai Zhi patted his head, took his hand, and said with a smile, "Everyone, come in quickly."
There were too many people and not enough seats on the sofa, so she brought over two stools.
Seeing Wang Yumei follow in last and stand there awkwardly, Bai Zhi handed her a stool, "You sit down too."
Bai Zhi greeted her separately, and Wang Yumei felt valued. Her expression softened, and she sat down on the stool.
Bai Zhi took out the new clothes and handed them to Liu Guifang so that she could try them on the child.
"Xiaowei, you've been very well-behaved lately, so these are the new clothes our aunties bought for you today. Come on, try them on."
When Xiao Wei heard that the new clothes were for him, he was overjoyed and danced with excitement, pretending to take off his cotton-padded coat to try on the new clothes.
Yesterday, Bai Zhi focused all her attention on the child's illness.
When I met him today, I found that he has a very lively personality.
The illness did not affect his mindset at all.
This should be attributed to the efforts of the entire residential compound.
Everyone gave him enough love and warmth.
He was able to be healthy in body and mind because there was no discrimination or isolation.
However, if this disease accompanies him for a long time, as he gets older, he will need to leave the family compound to face the outside world, which will still cause some trouble.
Soon, Liu Guifang had changed the child into new clothes. She smiled and said, "Xiaowei, turn around and let us see."
Xiao Wei cooperated by turning around.
The child himself also likes the new clothes he is wearing.
He curiously tugged at the pattern on his chest and then pulled on the zipper.
I'm so happy.
"That's so cool."
"We have such good taste, this dress fits us perfectly."
Hearing everyone's praise, Xiaowei happily spun around, looked down at his new clothes, and said with a bright smile, "Thank you, aunties, it's so nice to have you all."
A child's short sentence once again brought tears to the eyes of women who are easily moved to tears.
This child is so pitiful.
Xiao Wei put on his new clothes, looked up at Bai Zhi, and asked expectantly, "Auntie in white, I heard from my dad that you want me to give you acupuncture treatment. When will it start?"
Upon hearing Xiaowei's words, the women all looked at Baizhi with curiosity.
Political Commissar Zhang actually wanted Bai Zhi to treat Xiao Wei's illness?
Is it possible that Angelica dahurica is better at treating patients than those in major hospitals?
Considering that Bai Zhi saved Xiao Wei yesterday, it's not hard for everyone to understand.
Bai Zhi squatted down and looked at Xiao Wei, asking with a smile, "Are you afraid of needles?"
Xiao Wei stood ramrod straight and replied resolutely, "I'm not afraid, I'm a little man."
"You still have to drink bitter Chinese medicine," Bai Zhi said, smiling as she reminded him.
Many children are not afraid of pain, but they are afraid of suffering.
Sure enough, the child's face fell. "Huh?"
However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Bai Zhi tentatively, asking, "After drinking the bitter Chinese medicine, will I stop smoking?"
Bai Zhi replied confidently, "Yes, Auntie's illness was cured by the medicine."
“Then I can.”
Upon hearing that the medicine could cure the disease, Xiao Wei's eyes lit up, indicating that he could overcome any difficulty.
He said sullenly, "If I get better, I won't be laughed at by my classmates when I go to elementary school next year."
Upon hearing the child's words, Sister Wang became anxious. "Xiaowei, who is laughing at you? Tell us, and we'll go and settle the score with them."
Xiao Wei quickly shook his head, saying that no one was laughing at him for the time being.
