At 10 a.m., the holiday bell rang. Su Jin accompanied Du Ruo to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative in the hospital. Many family members were queuing in front of the door. Supplies had arrived from the supply and marketing cooperative in the hospital today, and the logistics staff had posted a notice on the bulletin board in the hospital yesterday.
The family members came to line up early in the morning. Du Ruo brought Su Jin here early and took this opportunity to introduce her to the old comrades in the hospital.
There were many old ladies queuing up in front of the door with their family staff. Du Ruo and Su Jin, the grandparents and grandchildren, were too conspicuous, and many of Du Ruo's comrades-in-arms gathered around with envy.
"Old Du, you can relax this time. Your Shi Yi is the best in the courtyard, and it's the best wife for him now. I heard that the young couple gave birth to a big fat boy?" Liu Chuchang's grandmother Cui Xing looked at Du Ruo with envy.
"Cui Xing, Old Du now has a fat great-grandson," the old lady of the Liu family said cheerfully. The two families were separated by a fence. "I heard the fat boy making a noise in the yard last night, and his voice was still very loud."
"That's right, Hanhan and Ayi looked alike when they were young." Du Ruo said happily, "The child was well educated and has good habits."
Su Jin always accompanied Du Ruo with a smile on her face, without any impatience. When the old ladies saw Su Jin's attitude, they envied Du Ruo from the bottom of their hearts.
The younger generations in the courtyard are all busy with their work, and very few of them are willing to accompany the elderly as patiently as Su Jin.
"A grandson's wife is great. Old Lu and you will be blessed in the future." Cui Xing sighed, "My grandson is not so good. He is about the same age as Shi Yi, and he still doesn't have a girlfriend."
"She's Achang's grandmother. She's taken care of Achang since he was a kid. The brat is completely focused on his work." Du Ruo informed Su Jin of the other person's identity. "Achang also works at Songjiang Commune with Ayi?"
Su Jin nodded. "Captain Liu has given Ayi a lot of help, but the workload is huge, and there are few girls on the farm. We'll have to rely on Grandma Cui to introduce people in the future."
Cui Xing couldn't help but sigh, "I even asked Xiao Jin to help introduce me to some suitable female classmates. Given the intensity of Achang's work, he rarely has the opportunity to spend time with the girls."
Because Lu Shiyi mentioned that Su Jin liked to eat mutton, Du Ruo specially asked Uncle Yang to reserve a leg of lamb at the supply and marketing cooperative. The two of them came to pick it up today. The old couple also prepared some gifts for Su Jin and Hanhan, mother and son.
The supply and marketing cooperative had not delivered any supplies for a long time, and the quantity ordered by the two was large. The president of the supply and marketing cooperative could not gather all the supplies at once, so he had to tell Du Ruo to prepare everything when delivering the supplies.
The supply and marketing cooperative opened its doors, and the president came out carrying things. The people in the queue began to enter the cooperative to buy things.
Du Ruo looked at the things the president was carrying out and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Du, these are the items you ordered in advance." The supply and marketing cooperative staff took out the items and handed them to Su Jin. "It's best to buy all the food for this month today. There will be no more supplies this month."
"Thank you, President An!" Du Ruo watched Su Jin accept the gift and immediately expressed gratitude. "Xiao Jin, go in and see if there's anything you'd like to buy. I remember the supply and marketing cooperative has imported watches, and I'll buy you a new betrothal gift."
"Grandma, Ayi gave me a watch," Su Jin opened the cuff of her left hand, revealing the watch on her wrist, "I bought this before we got married, so don't waste your money on another one."
"This one, that one, Ayi has no taste." Du Ruo looked at the Shanghai watch on Su Jin's hand and immediately denied it. "The young wives in the courtyard all buy imported watches. It's too late to go to the Friendship Store. I saw a Longines ladies' watch on the counter."
The supply and marketing department of the hospital always has one or two imported watches. One reason is that many people in the hospital do not have time to buy betrothal gifts, so they can only buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Du Ruo asked Aunt Yang to watch the things outside the door, and reached out to pull Su Jin into the supply and marketing cooperative. They went straight to the counter of imported goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Comrade, please take out that pair of Longines watches." Du Ruo took out 1,000 yuan from her bag a day in advance. Lu Bairen told her in advance to prepare another betrothal gift for Lu Shiyi.
"Grandma...we all have watches." Su Jin pulled the old lady helplessly, hoping that she would take back her words.
The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative took out a pair of watches. Du Ruo looked at the watches and thought they matched Lu Shiyi and his wife very well.
"That's right," Du Ruo said to the staff, "Please give me the ticket."
Su Jin kept trying to dissuade him, but Du Ruo ignored her and directly paid for the pair of watches.
Some young wives who came to buy things today envied Su Jin's life, and her in-laws, from top to bottom, approved of her.
The young wives recalled their different experiences in their husband's families and regretted that they should have let their families take the lead in arranging blind dates with Lu Shiyi. Because of Lu Shiyi's age, Lu's mother often asked family members in the hospital to help find good candidates.
If Lu Shiyi hadn't been busy, he would have gotten married before going to Songjiang Commune.
Ever since Su Jin's abilities were known by the elders in the courtyard, in the eyes of her husband's family, Su Jin is a daughter-in-law of the highest caliber. In order to get the attention of her husband's family, some daughters-in-law can only try their best to imitate Su Jin's actions.
Some family members were top university graduates before marriage, and some were leaders in a certain industry before marriage.
Many young wives want to get close to Su Jin. They all graduated from foreign language majors and have worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or foreign-related affairs. Due to the tense environment outside, they were asked by their in-laws to give up their jobs. They thought that with the help of Su Jin, they could get some translation work.
They can have some royalties and keep some pocket money.
When their parents' family encounters difficulties, some young wives seek help from their husband's family but are rejected, and they look at their parents' family in an awkward situation.
