"I can give you 5 kilograms each," the elder sister gritted her teeth and gave all her rights.
Song Shuxi quickly thanked her and took out two chocolates and stuffed them into her elder sister's pockets, "Sister, have some chocolate to sweeten your mouth."
This chocolate was a gift that Wei Jianguo brought back from his mission. Song Shuqian liked it very much and was willing to give it to him in order to maintain a good relationship with her.
Chocolate is a luxury these days. It is not only expensive but also requires a ticket. My elder sister was even more satisfied.
Both parties were interested in making friends and soon became engaged in a lively conversation.
Song Shuqian also selected the wool, black, blue, gray, and white. There was more than one ounce of green left, and she wanted it too. She didn’t touch those particularly popular colors. Now the elder sister feels that this girl is very sensible and she will introduce all the good things to her in the future.
Song Shuqian didn't think too much about it, she just simply liked these colors.
Song Shuqian chose three blankets. She didn't think it was too much and they could be used when she had children in the future.
The remaining two people didn't need anything, so they went to the food counter and bought a pound of White Rabbit snacks, a pound of Shachima, a box of Golden Rooster biscuits, and three cans of food.
In order to carry things, I bought another large backpack.
After leaving the department store, Song Shuxi found a deserted place and, using the cover of the backpack, put the heavier items into the treasure gourd.
After shopping, the two saw that it was still early, so they strolled around the city.
There are more and better things in the city than in the county.
Song Shuqian thought of something and whispered, "Should we go to the black market to buy food?"
Wei Jianguo rubbed her hair, "Don't worry, I have arranged all these, let's go directly to the logistics department for help. It is still quite dangerous to go there, and there may not be anything there."
Song Shuqian didn't understand, she just listened to whatever Wei Jianguo said.
"Let's go to the park and I'll take a picture of you." Wei Jianguo thinks his wife is the most beautiful.
The two went to the park to take a few individual photos, but did not take a group photo because they did not find anyone to help.
Seeing that it was still early, Song Shuqian wanted to go to the bookstore to check out the paints in the city.
To buy paint here, you need a letter of introduction, but they didn't have one, so I bought it using Wei Jianguo's military officer ID.
"Jianguo, look at these short stories, do you think I can write them?"
Wei Jianguo thought about the current trend. Saying the wrong thing would be risky, and writing an article would be like handing a handle to others. At this time, he should lie low and whisper, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Song Shuqian understood immediately that this was a lack of support.
The two changed the topic and continued choosing books. There are really few books nowadays. She already has most of them, and the ones she doesn't have are not what she needs.
We walked around and left.
It was about time, so the two arrived at the restaurant. Today's supply was quite rich.
They ordered a dish of three fresh vegetables, a pot-fried pork, a large portion of rice noodles, and also packed a chicken stewed with mushrooms and a stir-fried pork chop in lunch boxes, which stunned many diners.
Too arrogant.
Due to their attire and demeanor, no one spoke. In this year, everyone is in danger, so everyone should talk less and do more.
There are only a few young people who rush out when they see something they don't like. If they are not educated well, they dare not let family affairs be exposed to others and bring disaster to the family.
"I've heard that the chefs here are skilled, but I didn't expect them to be so good," Song Shuqian especially likes today's eggplant, which is even better than meat.
Wei Jianguo took care of her the whole time and waited until she was full before quickly finishing the rest of the meal.
Song Shuqian is picky about food, so it’s not easy for her to find someone she likes. Wei Jianguo developed the habit of giving her food first.
The two of them were used to it, but it aroused the envy of many young wives.
After eating and drinking, the two of them arrived at the waiting area to wait for the bus.
We agreed to come at 1:00 p.m., but I can’t say for sure whether it will be earlier or later.
When they came over, several sisters-in-law were already waiting.
These sisters-in-law’s parents live in the city. They stay there for two days and then take a bus back to their family compound.
When people meet, they exchange pleasantries.
Song Shuxi has lived in the staff quarters for more than two months, but she doesn't like to go out. Plus, she lives in a small courtyard at the back, so to everyone she is a stranger who lives in gossip.
Now when we meet, we are pulled together to chat.
People these days are reserved and seldom take the initiative to talk to gay men, so Wei Jianguo stood aside while his young wife chatted animatedly with her sisters-in-law.
"Girl, have you been to the new department store in the city? They say it has a wide variety of goods, including many popular items," a sister-in-law said mysteriously.
Song Shuqian replied with a smile, "I went there. The three floors really have all kinds of things. I have always wanted to knit a sweater for Jianguo. It is difficult to buy wool in the supply and marketing cooperative in town, but there is some in the city, and there are more colors than in town."
"Oh, there is yarn. Oh my, I should go there today. You are lucky, sister. There was no yarn when I went there yesterday."
"That's such a coincidence. It must have been a new item. Before Jianguo, he was alone, and my sister-in-law knew that he had a rough life as a soldier, so it's okay for him to just make do. It's so cold in winter without a sweater. Fortunately, he bought one, otherwise I would have planned to work as a waiter at the supply and marketing cooperative in town."
The other sister-in-law saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over, "That's right, these people just made do with each other before they got married. It's also because you are a good person and you feel sorry for Captain Wei."
Song Shuqian pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in her sister-in-law's words. She was not a gossiper.
A few people chatted about some irrelevant things. The sister-in-law who was speaking just now saw Song Shuqian's watch and said, "Sister, this watch is so beautiful. It makes your wrist look particularly white."
Song Shuqian raised her arms to show them generously, "When I got married, Jianguo gave me a dowry. It was made of Dadi brand. I think it looks really good too." After saying this she smiled shyly, like a girl in love.
Dadi brand is the leader of domestically produced watches, and the main point is that it is domestically produced. When she was choosing a watch, she chose it on purpose because she was afraid that someone would make a fuss about her wearing an imported watch.
She bought that Omega today, and planned to keep it together with the watch left by the original owner.
If she can't wear it openly in this life, she will pass it on to her daughter.
After all, she was impulsive. She had never been short of money in her entire life, so when she saw something she liked, her first reaction was to wrap it up.
Three women made a play, now there are nine women and I don’t know how many plays there are.
The truck arrived and Song Shuxi asked Wei Jianguo to sit in the front, as it would be too weird for him to be with a bunch of women.
Wei Jianguo did not refute and let Song Shuxi step on his legs to get into the car.
You know what, it’s quite convenient to get on the bus this way.
As soon as I sat down, I saw several sisters-in-law looking at me with envy. Song Shuxi has seen this look many times today and has become immune to it.
These sisters-in-law had no ill intentions, and Song Shuqian was happy to chat with them.
During the chat, she calmly changed the topic and talked about who had the best husband in the staff housing complex, and then brought up Chen Jiaojiao's husband.
What husband doesn't support his own parents, but instead takes his mother-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of him? They were usually indulged. Even though Old Lady Chen offended so many people in the staff quarters, she was not sent back.
This makes many sisters-in-law very envious.
Nowadays, a married girl is like water spilled. If you bring more things back to your parents' home, you will be scolded as a thief.
Time passed quickly as we chatted and laughed with everyone along the way.
These sisters-in-law knew Song Shuxi well. She was a very easy-going person and spoke softly but was very shrewd. She would not take advantage of others, nor would she allow others to take advantage of her.
