Cheng Yunan sat in the cab. The car was not as bumpy as outside. After getting off the car, other aunts and sisters-in-law got in the car and went shopping with people they knew.
On the other hand, Sun Hongying and Ma Rumei were still standing there, trying to recover.
I was really frozen stiff, but now I am a little relieved. My whole body is numb and itchy, and it hurts like needles when I scratch it a few times.
If I don't slow down, I won't be able to walk at all.
Seeing Cheng Yunan coming out of the driver's seat safely, both of them looked at her with poisonous eyes, as if they wanted to stare a hole in her.
Cheng Yunan didn't care either. She didn't even glance at us and stood with Lu Shiye.
"Are you okay, wife?" Lu Shiye asked worriedly.
"It's okay, my legs are a little weak, I'll be fine after I walk slowly." She felt a little numb from the bumpy ride, but she was fine after getting off the car and taking a few steps.
"Humph! Some people are really spoiled. They are not comfortable even sitting in the passenger seat! They are worthy of being called young ladies from the provincial capital."
"No, I have never met such a coquettish person. You can't get used to sitting still. Don't go out in the future!" Ma Rumei rolled her eyes.
"I am not as tough as my two sisters-in-law. They are as sharp-tongued as a knife. My ancestors were poor, otherwise the organization would not have approved me. What young lady? I want to ask my two sisters-in-law, what is their motive for talking about young lady every day? Are they trying to discredit me? Then I have to ask the organization clearly, what is the punishment for slandering military wives? You can't just touch your lips and not take responsibility after spraying shit, right?"
Cheng Yunan finished speaking without even stuttering.
She just arrived and didn't want to offend anyone, but she didn't expect these two to take advantage of her. So don't blame her for saying nasty things.
Both of them were humiliated, but they didn't dare to say a word back. Who told them to be so talkative?
Aunt Niu was the last to get off the car. She quickly came over to smooth things over: "You two are really the old family members of the military compound. What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to Xiao Cheng quickly!"
The two of them apologized awkwardly and walked away dejectedly with their baskets.
Auntie Niu said in a gentle manner: "Those two people just like to talk behind people's backs. This is how Xiao Cheng should behave. If you are too gentle, you will be easily bullied."
By the way, you guys should go to the market, right? Do you know where it is? "
"Auntie Niu, I know the location. Let's go there now." Lu Shiye said.
"Okay, then, go on your own. I have other things to buy, so I won't go with you!"
Aunt Niu also left, and Lu Shiye looked at Cheng Yunan with such strange eyes.
"Lu Shiye, I won't cause you any trouble if I treat those two people like this, right?"
Lu Shiye said firmly: "No, my wife, just live your life boldly and confidently. I will support you. Don't worry."
Cheng Yunan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"
After talking, the two of them walked towards the market.
Previously, it was not allowed to open markets here, as it was considered speculation.
Later, people from several surrounding villages got used to coming here to sell their home-grown vegetables and hand-woven items, and slowly the scale expanded. The town leaders simply applied to the higher authorities for permission. After all, it was a good thing to generate income for several surrounding villages. Besides, if there were countermeasures from above and policies from below and they were not allowed to hold markets, they could use barter to make it a legitimate trading place.
Seeing that no one was in charge, this place was turned into a market.
Three years later, the market was reported and controlled by red armbands, so it was closed for two years. Last year, the provincial capital changed its top leader, and the secretary thought the market was doing very well and could meet some of the needs of the old people, so this year it was allowed to reopen.
During festivals, some people from the provincial capital would come here to buy things.
When Cheng Yunan and his companions arrived, they saw that many people had already set up their stalls at the market.
No one is selling, you can only exchange the things you like directly.
Of course, if you don't have anything, you can just give me money and tickets, but you can't make it public.
This has become an unspoken open secret in the market.
The two wives bought the items little by little according to the list written by Cheng Yunan.
There are only two stools at home, so we need to add a few more. We also need the editor's woolen cage and curtains.
"Shi Ye, there's pork and fish over there. Let's go over there and get two pounds!"
"Okay, you wait for me over there, I'll go over." Lu Shiye took a look and saw that there were too many people over there, and it was crowded. He was afraid that Cheng Yunan would get hurt.
"Okay, then you go cut the meat and I'll go buy the fish."
"Well, be careful!" Lu Shiye reminded again with concern.
"Okay, I'll be careful, don't worry."
Cheng Yunan wanted to take some flour and apples from the space during this short period of time. She had just seen someone selling apples.
If she took it out at this time, it would definitely not arouse Lu Shiye's suspicion.
Cheng Yunan went to the fish stall and saw only ordinary grass carp. Cheng Yunan took a look and found that they were not very big, so he bought two. When he put them in the backpack, he took the opportunity to smuggle out a three-jin apple and a five-jin fish from the space.
The fish raised in the space are all small fish fry that she brought into Lujia Village before, so I am not worried about the wrong breed.
After buying the fish, I also put in ten catties of flour, ten catties of rice, and five catties of rice noodles.
Well, that’s all for now. She will put them home when Lu Shiye gets busy.
From now on, when she is at home, she has the final say on how much food to eat.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I finally made it to land to buy meat.
The best pork belly was gone, so Lu Shiye cut off three pounds of fat meat.
There is no oil at home, so I can use the fat to make oil.
"Lu Shiye, can you tell me how much the pig offal is sold for?"
Suddenly Cheng Yunan's update came, and Lu Shiye asked without hesitation.
The boss was also generous. He added fifty cents to the price and sold the offal to us.
After Lu Shiye and the others left, the people around them were still talking about how stupid the young wife was.
I spent fifty cents on two pieces of pork. Even though the pork had a lot of offal, it tasted really bad when fried.
"These two young people must be spending money recklessly without the elderly around them."
"No, I just saw that there are so many things in their backpacks, and there is also that little girl, she is so cute, her face is as white and tender as white flour, you can tell she can't endure hardship. Alas, if I marry such a beautiful girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to save money."
"Who cares? Her husband is a soldier, he has money, he's not worried about not being able to support his family!"
"No, you are just eating radishes and worrying about nothing. Are you in a hurry to buy meat? If she buys, get out of the way!"
"Who said they don't want to buy anymore? Come and cut me a pound of fat!"
…
Lu Shiye came over and wanted to stuff the pork and offal into the backpack.
"No, the smell is too strong. I just saw someone selling food and apples over there, so I bought a few pounds of them. There are also fish. It's better to wrap the pig in a few layers of newspaper before putting it in a nylon bag, otherwise the smell will spread."
Lu Shiye Si had no doubts, put the backpack on his shoulder, and held the nylon bag in one hand.
The two of them bought a lot of vegetables and went to the parking lot with them.
