Chapter 25: Lao Song, your wife is so pretty
When he arrived at the police station, Song Yiyuan showed his ID to the officer on duty and entered a room with the police station staff.
Lin Qingqing sat in the hall waiting for more than an hour before Song Yiyuan came out.
The staff on duty respectfully escorted Song Yiyuan out. Song Yiyuan saluted the comrades from the police station and turned to walk towards Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing looked at Song Yiyuan's face with righteousness, and the light in his eyes when he saluted. She thought of herself in the past when she was passionate about research and her eyes also lit up.
"Let's go shopping." Song Yiyuan's deep voice sounded above Lin Qingqing's head.
Lin Qingqing came back to her senses and blurted out, "You belong to the country."
Song Yiyuan's eyes were deep and he said "hmm" softly.
The two walked out of the police station one after the other. The morning sun was just coming out, warm but not dazzling. Lin Qingqing smiled slowly at the sun.
Behind him, Song Yiyuan seemed to be in a better mood. He looked down at Lin Qingqing and saw a smile on her lips. He asked softly, "Is the military dependent status very useful?"
Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she thought of what she had said to Aunt Li on the ox cart. The smile on her lips became even more intense: "No need, no need."
Lin Qingqing went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. She wanted to buy cloth, pork and candy.
Lin Qingqing was full of joy and wanted to go shopping, but when she saw the crowds of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, she was dumbfounded.
Isn’t it said that in this era people had to use coupons to shop, supplies were scarce, and people were poor?
With so many people, they can just take over the supply and marketing cooperative!
Lin Qingqing held her breath and tried to squeeze in. She looked at Song Yiyuan who was still injured and had not recovered, and sighed.
Lin Qingqing clicked her tongue. What should she do? In this day and age, the only way to buy things is to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Let's go for a walk first and then come back. You must be tired after walking around for a while. Let's find a place to sit down." Lin Qingqing said.
Song Yiyuan glanced at the crowd and nodded.
Lin Qingqing looked at the bun shop not far away, took Song Yiyuan to sit in the shop, ordered two big meat buns, and started staring at the supply and marketing cooperative.
An hour passed, then two hours passed, and people were coming in and out of the supply and marketing cooperative, with no sign of decreasing.
Lin Qingqing glanced at Song Yiyuan opposite her and seemed to have made a decision.
"You sit here for a while, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."
Lin Qingqing strode towards the supply and marketing cooperative, glanced at the fabric counter from outside the crowd, and squeezed over there.
After squeezing and squeezing for more than ten minutes, she finally reached the counter. There were layers of people standing beside the counter. Lin Qingqing waited for a while, and finally it was her turn.
She glanced at the counter and pointed at a piece of red floral fabric: "Give me four feet."
The supply salesman said indifferently, "One yuan and thirty cents, and four feet of cloth coupons."
Lin Qingqing immediately took out the money and ticket and handed them over. The supply and marketing clerk counted them and quickly cut four feet of cloth for Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing squeezed to the back to pick up some snacks to buy some candies for her children.
Half an hour later, after buying cloth and sugar, Lin Qingqing gave up on the pork because she really couldn't squeeze anymore.
Lin Qingqing returned to the bun shop sweating profusely and called Song Yiyuan to prepare to go home.
The dog days of summer are really not suitable for shopping. Lin Qingqing is sweating all over and now she just wants to go home, take a shower and drink a glass of ice water.
Song Yiyuan glanced at the sun that was approaching his head.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. Someone should be waiting for me there."
Lin Qingqing wiped the sweat off her face and replied, "Okay."
The two of them braved the scorching sun, turned two streets, and arrived at the entrance of the state-owned hotel.
A tall man with a square face and a military uniform came up to Song Yiyuan as soon as he saw him. "Old Song, you're here. I've been waiting for you here for an hour."
Song Yiyuan glanced behind him and said calmly, "Well, I wasted some time buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative."
When this person saw Lin Qingqing standing behind Song Yiyuan, he couldn't help but look surprised: "Old Song, your wife is so pretty."
Lin Qingqing was suddenly tickled by Q and smiled politely.
"Hello, I'm Liu Kening, a soldier brought out by Yiyuan's father."
His father is also a soldier? Lin Qingqing thought to herself, but she still reacted very quickly and reached out to shake his hand: "Hello, Comrade Liu, I am Lin Qingqing."
Liu Kening looked Lin Qingqing up and down again, his face full of smiles: "It's too hot outside, let's go in and talk while we eat."
Lin Qingqing nodded, and walked into the state-owned hotel side by side with Liu Kening, followed by the ignored Song Yiyuan.
