Qin Zhengqi went to ask Ding Liansheng for leave, and when he came back he saw Shen Annian still lying in bed, looking listless.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Anyian shook his head and suddenly stood up, "Should we go shopping?"
"Yes, there's a village bus going to the county town at 8 o'clock in the morning."
"And Muraba?"
"This is quite a benefit for the troops. There are three trips a day: 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 4 p.m."
Shen Annian looked at the time and it was already half past seven.
"Then we need to get up quickly. I'll be well soon."
She got up quickly and ran to find Shen Anyui.
When Shen Anyui heard that he could go shopping, he got up very quickly.
Seeing that she was full of energy, Shen Annian knew that she must have slept well last night.
This child is quite adaptable.
On the table was Qin Zhengqi's breakfast from the cafeteria, which included porridge and black steamed buns.
Shen Anyian asked him, "What is this?"
"Sorghum porridge, sorghum steamed buns."
Shen An Nian tried to eat a bowl of porridge. It was sticky, a little choking, and a little bitter. It was not delicious.
She managed to eat half a bowl of porridge and couldn't eat any more.
She didn't like the sticky texture.
When Qin Zhengqi saw her frowning, he knew that she didn't like to eat.
"You won't have to suffer so much if you can cook at home in the future."
"Let's hurry to the county town and buy the things back."
When Shen Anyian and Qin Zhengqi went to take the village bus, many military wives were already waiting.
Seeing Qin Zhengqi coming over with a strange girl, they all looked at her curiously.
She is so white, young and beautiful.
When Aunt Ma saw them coming, she took the initiative to introduce them to the military wives, "That girl is Captain Qin's wife."
The military wives were all very surprised, "Auntie, have you seen it?"
"How could I not have seen it? We met on the train."
Aunt Ma told everyone about their meeting on the train.
Of course, she would not admit that she was wrong, but instead packaged herself as a victim and portrayed Shen Annian as rude and unsympathetic.
Standing next to her was her daughter-in-law Li Shuiqin, who secretly curled her lips.
She knew the old woman's character too well to be as innocent as she said.
As they were talking, Shen Annian and Qin Zhengqi had already arrived. Aunt Ma immediately greeted them with a smile, "Captain Qin, are you going to the county town too?"
"Yes, we have some things to buy."
A military wife asked him, "Captain Qin, is this your wife?"
Qin Zhengqi nodded, "It's my wife, Shen Annian. She just came to our camp. I'll trouble all the sisters-in-law to take good care of her in the future."
Those military wives had never heard him say such soft words before, and they couldn't help but marvel at it.
After all, he is a married man, so he will feel sorry for others.
The military wives were all very enthusiastic and greeted Shen Anyian. There was also one named Wang Guixiang who took the initiative to introduce the other military wives to her.
Wang Guixiang is the wife of Captain Li in the company. She has been with the army for three years and is very familiar with this place.
She is a country girl.
The wives of the soldiers in the army include both educated people from the city and country people like them.
Those educated military wives looked down on them and thought they were old-fashioned.
They also felt that the military wives in the city were spoiled and pretentious, and that the two groups simply couldn't get along.
Shen Annian is from the countryside, which makes her feel particularly familiar.
"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me. We military wives should help each other."
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
Wang Guixiang looked at Qin Zhengqi and smiled, "Comrade Shen is so beautiful, Captain Qin, you are so lucky."
She looked at Shen Anyui and said, "This little girl is really pretty. Whose child are you taking care of?"
Shen Annian: "This is my sister. My parents are not in good health, so I took her to live with me to take care of her."
She patted Shen Anyui's shoulder gently and said, "Hurry up and say hello to the sisters-in-law."
Although Shen Anyui felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like this by everyone, he still greeted everyone, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Wang Guixiang looked at her with a smile, "This child is good-looking and polite, how nice."
The other military wives exchanged glances with each other but said nothing.
I've only heard of people who remarry bringing their children with them, but no one has ever thought of someone bringing their own sister to be taken care of after getting married.
No matter how much I want to help my family, there is no reason to bring my sister with me when I marry.
The military wives had just heard about Shen Annian from Aunt Ma and had a bad impression of her. Now after hearing her words, their impression of her became even worse.
In the eyes of these military wives, Shen Anyian became a woman who took advantage of Qin Zhengqi and was confused.
Qin Zhengqi became the one who was taken advantage of by helping his mother-in-law's family raise children for nothing.
Shen Annian saw that everyone was looking at him with subtle eyes, but he didn't take it too seriously.
She is not willing to force herself.
Her attitude towards getting along with others is to get along if she can, and not force it if she can’t.
She came here to live with Qin Zhengqi, not to make friends.
The village bus came and everyone got on and went into the city in a lively manner.
Wang Guihua told her that the camp was a two-hour drive from the county seat and only a forty-hour drive from the town.
However, because there are too few options available in the town's supply and marketing cooperative, they don't like to go to the town.
There is also a supply and marketing cooperative in the camp, but the things it sells are even fewer. You can buy some bowls, chopsticks, oil, and salt for your daily needs, but not much else.
