It was already evening after having dinner with Lin Sen and Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xifang, who sent the two of them out alone, kept twisting her fingers and didn't say a word, her face full of panic.
Wang Xiaohua sighed, "Xifang, your partner is indeed quite good."
She had previously told Mu Huaixi that Zhang Xing had found an old Chinese doctor who couldn't diagnose any illness and was determined to harm her sister. But now it seems that Zhang Xing is not such a person. Perhaps he was just blinded by his good intentions.
Zhang Xifang had no appetite for the entire meal, her heart in turmoil, "What should I do?"
Her boyfriend is a good one and she is very satisfied with him, but if there is really a problem with her body, wouldn’t that delay Zhang Xing?
Zhang Xifang's large eyes were filled with a hint of resentment as she glanced at Mu Huaixi and then at her good friend. Wang Xiaohua knew her very well and tugged at her sleeve, taking two steps to the side. "Xifang, you're a smart person, don't be silly. If it weren't for my consideration, Dr. Mu definitely wouldn't have told you clearly that you had a problem after you'd already consulted an experienced Chinese doctor."
"No matter how satisfied you are with Zhang Xing, do you really want to give up your body? Let's take a step back and ask yourself, don't you want to live with him forever?"
Zhang Xifang quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I'm just... a little scared."
Wang Xiaohua sighed in her heart. She suddenly felt that what Dr. Mu said in the afternoon was right. Her friend Xifang was a love-brained person. She would not listen to any advice on other things, but she would immediately understand anything related to love and starting a family.
Even though she was stood up that afternoon, Wang Xiaohua still couldn't let her go. "How about this? I'll go to your house tomorrow and talk to your parents about what to do. Okay?"
Zhang Xifang's eyes were filled with tears. She held her hand and nodded repeatedly, "Xiaohua, you are so kind."
Finally, Wang Xiaohua repeatedly told her not to tell this to anyone, especially not to tell Zhang Xing, before leaving with Mu Huaixi.
On the way home, Wang Xiaohua kept sighing, "Boss Mu, do you think I shouldn't care about her business?"
She had a vague premonition that Zhang Xifang had become a person she didn't recognize, and she no longer considered her the closest person in her heart. Everything about her would be ranked behind Zhang Xing.
Even though Zhang Xing is a good person, Wang Xiaohua still feels a little sad.
"If it doesn't matter, can you rest assured?" Mu Huaixi asked back. Seeing her pout, Wang Xiaohua knew that she was still worried, so she smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, don't worry about me. I'll go shopping in the department store tomorrow morning, and we'll meet at Sister Yu's guesthouse this afternoon!"
They were busy rescuing people in the afternoon and didn't even go shopping in the department store. Mu Huaixi had to help her sisters-in-law carry things!
Although the supply and marketing cooperative in the camp has started business, the variety of items sold is not complete, and some popular items are out of stock as soon as they arrive, which is really annoying.
However, the bulk of the purchases were made by Sister Yu and Sister Hongxia, so she only needed to bring some daily necessities for a few people she had a good relationship with.
The department store in the county town was not as big as the one in Jiangcheng, but it was also three stories high. The electrical appliance area on the second floor was particularly busy. Mu Huaixi looked at it curiously and found that they were selling 14-inch black and white TVs.
"Veuve Clicquot's latest 14-inch black-and-white TV, spring sale for only 558, only five left!"
Mu Huaixi couldn't help but be amazed at the price of 558 yuan for a TV. Even if her and Ying Mingcheng's combined salary was more than 100 yuan, they would have to save for a year after deducting living expenses before they could buy one. However, four of them were sold very quickly in the county, and two families were fighting over the last one.
"Comrade, could you please give way for a moment? My son is getting engaged soon. Last night, the girl heard that our mall was going to have a TV and she said she'd cancel the engagement if we couldn't get one."
These words really made people think about it. Mu Huaixi took a curious look and found that the middle-aged man standing next to the middle-aged woman who was speaking was very familiar. He was simply the middle-aged version of Lin Sen.
"No way?" Mu Huaixi looked at him again in surprise, and happened to hear the person next to him calling him Lao Lin. Only then did he confirm that this was Lin Sen's wicked father and his new wife and children.
He had a cheerful look on his face, seemingly unaware that Lin Sen had been forced to jump into the lake. Perhaps even knowing wouldn't have dampened his good mood. The young man standing behind him bore no resemblance to him, yet that didn't stop him from smiling and introducing him to others, "Yes, that's my son. He's getting engaged soon."
What made Mu Huaixi even more embarrassed was that she ran into Lin Sen, who looked haggard, as soon as she came out of the electrical appliance area.
"Lin Sen, are you here to buy things in the department store too? I bought a lot, can you help me carry it?" Mu Huaixi didn't actually buy much, but she was afraid that Lin Sen would see that scene if he walked forward, which would make her feel even worse.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sen smiled at her and said, "Doctor Mu, you saw it too, right?"
Mu Huaixi felt a little embarrassed, but after looking carefully, he seemed to have no grudges, so she nodded and said, "Yes, you look alike."
"Indeed, his friends used to say that seeing me was like seeing him in his youth, but what good is that?" Lin Sen sighed, but quickly returned to normal, even winking at her. "You need a national ticket to buy a Kaige TV. Where do you think he got those tickets?"
Mu Huaixi had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't say anything.
Lin Sen had no intention of playing quiz with her and quickly revealed the answer. "I found someone to sell it to him specifically to make a killing! It's just a shame that my mom bought me a national ticket. The TV in Village 14 costs more than the national ticket. He really has money."
Mu Huaixi felt that he looked like he was about to cry, and she didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only stand there quietly for a while.
But Lin Sen quickly regained his composure. He picked up the things Mu Huaixi bought and took a look at them. He suddenly asked, "Doctor Mu, do you want to go to the black market? I was there this morning and saw a lot of medicinal herbs, so I thought of you."
"Is it safe?" Mu Huaixi didn't expect that Lin Sen had channels in the black market, but her first reaction was not whether there were a lot of goods, but whether it was safe. After all, she was a military wife now. If she was caught by the police for going to the black market to buy herbs, it would be embarrassing.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Lin Sen guaranteed, patting his chest, and Mu Huaixi followed him.
The so-called black market is a market that does not require tickets.
Mu Huaixi followed Lin Sen out of the department store, turned three corners, and arrived without even walking two streets.
"......", Mu Huaixi shook her head in her heart. No wonder Lin Sen told her not to worry. This black market must be very confident to open here.
While she was observing her surroundings, Lin Sen had already spoken to the gatekeeper and lifted the curtain to greet her, "Let's go, there are quite a few people here today buying medicinal herbs."
