Chapter 31 Bai Wei’s order: Aqi, get the meat!
Bai Wei silently glanced at Song Qinian's waist.
He has a bow-string waist, eight-pack abs, and tight, strong lines. He can easily tie up a carrot like her.
"If you tie it, don't tie it too tight."
Bai Wei smiled mischievously, and looking at her smug little look, Song Qinian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The interaction between the two fell into Tang Xuemei's eyes, and her usually gentle smile showed signs of cracking.
"What nonsense is Captain Song talking about? What do you mean by husband and wife being one?"
"Who is that boy? Captain Song's logistics soldier?"
“It doesn’t look like it.”
Bai Wei had her hair cut short and was wearing a military uniform. With her small stature, she really looked like a soldier. The military wives almost didn't recognize her.
"She is Bai Wei."
Tang Xuemei said this almost through gritting her teeth.
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. They rubbed their eyes and looked at the little man who followed Song Qinian closely.
"She is Bai Wei? Why is her hair so short?"
"She looked cute before, but with this haircut, she doesn't look like a woman at all."
"That's right. She looks far inferior to Deputy Headmaster Tang."
Wang Chunlan started talking, and everyone started talking one after another, looking at Bai Wei's back with some contempt.
Huang Siyu stood outside the crowd and whispered.
"The beauty or ugliness of a person's heart does not lie in their appearance."
Although her words were light, they fell into Tang Xuemei's ears. Her knife-like eyes fell on Huang Siyu in an instant.
"Hey, Huang Siyu!"
Bai Wei took two steps and found that Huang Siyu didn't follow him, so he turned around and waved at her.
Huang Siyu raised her head, glanced at Song Qinian beside Bai Wei, then glanced at Tang Xuemei, and stood where she was, not daring to move.
"Aren't you going to buy some meat? Wait until I put the stuff away, and then let's go to the grocery store and see if there are any leftovers that we can exchange for some money."
Song Qinian greeted him.
He heard clearly what Huang Siyu said just now.
"well!"
Huang Siyu responded with some excitement.
Song Qinian is a soldier. If he goes to the non-staple food market, he might be able to help her exchange money for some scraps.
She didn't ask for much, even some minced meat would be fine.
"Let's go! I want to go to the grocery store, too."
Bai Wei took Huang Siyu's hand and completely ignored Tang Xuemei's fiery gaze.
At least Huang Siyu has never laughed at her for being short!
"Yes, yes, yes! I have to hurry to the grocery store. If I go too late, I won't be able to buy meat."
"Hey, wait for me, I'm going too."
The military wives then remembered their important business, said goodbye to Tang Xuemei in a hurry, and rushed towards the non-staple food market.
Tang Xuemei is the teacher's daughter, so it's right to curry favor with her, but the monthly purchasing opportunity is more important.
Song Qinian put all the things away swiftly and walked towards the grocery market with Bai Wei and Huang Siyu.
Tang Xuemei did not follow. As a delicate girl who had never been involved in sexual activities, she would naturally not go to such a smelly place.
"Weiwei, I brought food coupons, we can also buy ten kilograms of flour and ten kilograms of rice to store, and I also have oil coupons, so I can buy ten kilograms of rapeseed oil."
Song Qinian counted carefully as he walked.
Bai Wei didn't have any idea what it meant, but Huang Siyu's eyes widened when she heard it.
Song Qinian really spent a lot of money. It would take her at least a year to save up so many grain coupons and oil coupons!
"Okay! Everything we eat goes into our stomachs, so there's no need to save it!"
Although Bai Wei is stingy, she is a foodie and will never save money when it comes to food.
Life is all about eating and drinking!
She doesn't care about where to live or what to wear, except for food, which she must eat well and have enough!
Arriving at the non-staple food market, Bai Wei took a look around and found that the market was indeed a bit shabby, with only a shed built on top, and it looked like an ordinary vegetable market.
The places to buy vegetables and rice and noodles are all okay, there aren't many people lining up.
But there was already a long line in front of the meat stall, stretching all the way along the stall to the market entrance.
"Why... so many people!"
Bai Wei was a little surprised. Waiting in such a long line just to buy some meat?
"I'll go and queue up first, you guys go buy some rice."
Huang Siyu was also a little panicked and quickly ran to the back of the team to line up.
Bai Wei looked at the long queue and shook her head involuntarily. With so many people in the queue, there wouldn't be only bones left by the time it was their turn, right?
An hour later, Bai Wei had already bought rice, flour, coarse grains and rapeseed oil with Song Qinian. She queued up with Huang Siyu, but when it was their turn, there was no meat scraps or even bones in front of the meat stall!
"Closing up, closing up, come back tomorrow!"
The chef in the meat stall was a burly man wearing a turban. He was smoking a cigarette while scraping the chopping board with a kitchen knife.
After spending half a day cutting meat on this chopping board, you can scrape off some more meat crumbs by just scraping it.
"Master, can you sell me your minced meat?"
Huang Siyu pointed at the minced meat under the knife and looked at the meat-cutting chef pleadingly.
He Daniu thrust the kitchen knife into the board and said, "There's wood chips mixed in with the minced meat. We're feeding it to the dogs!"
"It's okay, Master. I'll go back and clean it up. It'll be fine as long as I can taste the meat!"
Huang Siyu couldn't help swallowing when she looked at the minced meat.
Bai Wei glanced at Huang Siyu. After all, she was a teacher in the army. Didn’t she get to eat meat on a regular basis?
"That won't do! If something happens while eating, it will be very troublesome!"
He Daniu waved his hand, rolled up the minced meat, and threw it into the trash can beside him.
"Master..."
Seeing Huang Siyu begging, Bai Wei stepped forward and said, "Master, this meat scraps won't do. Do you have any leftover offal that hasn't been sold? Any pig intestines, pig hearts, pig lungs, etc. will do!"
He Daniu looked at Bai Wei, who looked very fair and clean, and he didn't expect that she knew all this.
"Young man, do you think no one wants pig offal? Even if the meat is gone, there are still people who want the offal! It's gone, all gone! Let's go!"
Bai Wei was numb. She cut her hair and ended up changing her gender.
"Huang Siyu, how about..."
Just when Bai Wei wanted to persuade Huang Siyu to let it go, she turned around and saw that Huang Siyu was crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Hey, don't cry!"
Bai Wei was shocked. "It's just that there's no meat to eat, there's no need to cry."
"It's Xiaogang... He won't live for a few days. I just want to give him a meal of meatballs before he dies."
The more Huang Siyu cried, the sadder she became, her tears like a kite without a string.
Xiao Gang?
Bai Wei glanced at Song Qinian and asked, "Is he a child in the army?"
Song Qinian shook his head and glanced at Huang Siyu. "Sometimes, children from the villages near the army come to listen to her classes. Maybe..."
Bai Wei was stunned and glanced at Huang Siyu.
"Aqi..." Bai Wei's voice softened again, and she imitated Tang Xuemei and called Song Qinian, "Think of a way to get some meat for Huang Siyu."
Song Qinian stared at Bai Wei helplessly, "Weiwei, you don't have to do this when you need help."
"Fuck meat!!!"
Bai Wei's voice sank, Song Qinian stopped and turned around, looking at He Daniu and saluted.
"Master, please think of a solution, even if it's just a big stick of bones!"
