Li Xin thought that he could ask Sanmao to make some buns and keep them at home. He could just steam them in the morning and eat them for breakfast.
She can also make some dumplings, which can be eaten for breakfast or as a midnight snack. She can do it herself if she just cooks them.
And even if He Beichen asked, he could say that he bought it, because He Beichen was not at home during the day anyway.
Li Xin did what he said. He first threw the clothes into the space and asked Sanmao to wash them. After breakfast, he went out to buy things.
After arriving at the compound, she had not been out for a walk, so it was a good opportunity to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment.
Most of the people living in the military compound are soldiers’ wives.
The weather is nice today. There are many military wives playing with their children in the yard. There are also some military wives who have not yet given birth. They sit together in the sun and chat, looking very harmonious.
When Li Xin walked through the yard, many military wives noticed her unfamiliar face.
"Hey, that, that is the wife that Deputy Colonel He just married, right? She is so pretty." A military wife saw her and turned around to talk about it with the people around her.
In fact, when people heard about this, everyone in the yard was very curious about what the wife He Beichen brought to the compound looked like.
In the compound, the only new face who had recently arrived was Li Xin. Everyone else lived in the same compound. Even if they were not very familiar with each other, they had basically seen each other before.
"She is so fair, no wonder I haven't seen her go out before. I saw her family buying groceries recently, and they were all bought by Deputy Regimental Commander He early in the morning." Another military wife spoke up, looking at Li Xin with envy in her eyes.
After all, Li Xin was able to marry the deputy head of the group, but He Beichen didn't even let her buy vegetables. It was heartbreaking to see this.
"He looks very young. Is it because Deputy Colonel He is too..." He is newlywed and has a tall stature, so it's normal for him to have bigger needs. All soldiers are like this.
"Hahaha, keep your voice down, don't you want to save face?"
Li Xin: “…”
It was obvious that she couldn't go out because she had no clothes to wear!
After all, she is a married military wife, so the content of her chat is very explosive!
Li Xin could sense the gazes falling on her, but she didn't know anyone, so she could only quicken her pace and leave.
Having spent most of her time in the research institute in her previous life, she is not good at socializing and doesn't particularly enjoy it.
There are three roads outside the compound, one leads to the military area, one leads to the city, and the other road is not long and looks shabby, but you can see a house there at a glance.
Outside, apart from the road, there are vast tracts of farmland where grain is grown. This is the grain belonging to the military region and is very important.
Li Xin looked around and decided not to go to the city for the time being. First of all, she didn't have a car, and secondly, her last experience of taking a bus here was not good, and she didn't want to be bumped around again.
She came to the house on the shabby alley, which was like a small shop and sold a lot of things.
The vegetables displayed outside had basically been picked out in the morning. Li Xin got up late, so there was only a small basket of vegetables left outside.
However, Li Xin didn't plan to buy these. He Beichen bought vegetables early in the morning. She saw some fruits nearby, so she picked up some bananas and persimmons in the bag.
After making the selection, he went into the store to take a look. There were daily necessities inside. Li Xin took flour and yeast, and picked out simple sanitary napkins of this era and paid for them all.
Fortunately, sanitary napkins had been invented in this era. Although they were not as convenient as those in later generations, they were better than going back to ancient times. Otherwise, we would have to use cloth wrapped in wood ash.
After buying the things, Li Xin carried them and prepared to go home. There was nothing much to see outside the compound.
"Hey, don't you look at the road when you walk?" An excited female voice suddenly rang out sharply.
Before Li Xin could turn around, his body was knocked backwards and he staggered two steps before he could barely stabilize himself.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now." Li Xin apologized.
It was indeed because she was looking around and didn't notice that there was someone in front of her that she accidentally bumped into him.
"You can't even see such a grown man. Are you blind?" The woman continued to curse.
Li Xin stood firm and looked forward.
She was indeed a big person, and she didn't know why she didn't notice it just now. Looking at the strong body of the woman in front of her, Li Xin felt that she might have been really blind just now.
The woman was not too tall, about 1.5 meters. Although a little fat, she was plump in front and back. If you had a high EQ, you could also say she was plump.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Li Xin didn't want to make enemies as soon as he arrived at the compound.
The woman looked at Li Xin and found her unfamiliar. Thinking about the fact that everyone in the courtyard had been talking about He Beichen bringing his wife here these past two days, she guessed that the Li Xin in front of her might be her.
She stared at Li Xin, looking him up and down carefully.
Li Xin felt that her eyes were different from those of the people in the yard just now. The previous ones were mostly curious, but this woman looked at her... a bit like she was selecting goods, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Is there something wrong with this?
"Tsk tsk, she's so thin and has such a small butt, you can't have children at first glance." The woman muttered, her voice neither loud nor soft, just falling into Li Xin's ears.
Li Xin frowned, feeling disgusted with the aunt who would say that others couldn't have children.
"What's the point of marrying a woman who can't give birth to a child?" The woman's voice grew louder and louder, with a hint of pride in her tone.
As a young man of the new century, Li Xin could not bear to hear such words that described women as reproductive machines. He immediately turned around and looked at her straight in the face.
"What do you mean?" Li Xin asked her coldly with ice-cold eyes.
The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Li Xin to be so tough. He looked thin and weak, but now he seemed like he was going to fight her.
But she was not afraid of Li Xin's attack at all, because compared with Li Xin, she seemed much stronger and more robust, almost twice as tall as Li Xin.
If a fight really breaks out, Li Xin will have no advantage at all.
"What did I say? You hit me and you won't let me say a word? What's wrong with saying you can't give birth to a son?" The woman snorted coldly.
"The Qing Dynasty has already fallen. If you want to return to feudal society, why don't you just be buried with the Qing Dynasty? You keep talking about having a son. Does your family have an heir to the throne or something?"
Li Xin could see that this woman had been hostile to her from the very beginning. The accidental bump into her just now might have been intentional.
"You!" The woman was furious and rolled up her sleeves to rush over and attack.
"Stop, stop! What are you doing?" A figure ran over from not far away and stopped the woman opposite.
It’s Liu Xiang.
She probably saw the quarrel going on, so she ran over in a hurry.
"Wang Cuixiang, why is it you again?" After Liu Xiang finished talking about that woman, he turned around and saw Li Xin, and was a little surprised for a moment.
