Wang Xiangyu was moved by what Wen Nuan and Liu Na said. Besides, it was a rare opportunity. Even if she went to the supply and marketing cooperative in town, she might not see such brightly colored fabrics. So she made up her mind and bought a piece of navy blue and a piece of cyan.
Wen Nuan was more generous. Considering that she might not see so much fabric in the future, and since she was sure she would have twins, she thought about preparing more. In the end, she picked out the colors she liked and tore off six feet of each. She also asked if there was any limit. Within the maximum limit, she tore off a lot of white cotton cloth to make underwear for her future son and daughter. It was pretty good!
After telling her about the cloth she wanted, Wen Nuan looked up and saw Wang Xiangyu and Liu Na looking at her with a little surprise. Knowing that her generosity was a bit scary, she explained a few words, "I think this is a rare opportunity to see so much cloth, and besides, I want to prepare some for my future children..." As she spoke, Wen Nuan blushed.
"Haha, of course, of course." Wang Xiangyu felt relieved when she heard Wen Nuan say that. Seeing Wen Nuan blushing, she joked, "Xiao Nuan is very thoughtful. It is indeed best for children to use such fine cotton cloth!"
"Haha, Xiao Nuan is blushing, you are shy, but what's the big deal? Captain Wang really likes you. Maybe you will have good news next month!" Liu Na looked at Wen Nuan, whose face was as pink as a peach, and joked with a smile.
Wen Nuan's face turned even redder!
When checking out, Wen Nuan had just enough cloth coupons in her hand, which made her feel relieved. She hadn't even thought about the cloth coupons when she was buying. While handing over the money coupons, Wen Nuan said regretfully, "Now, all the cloth coupons in my hand have been used up. I won't be able to buy cloth for a while!"
"It's okay. The army can always issue cloth two or three times a year. Besides, you can ask Captain Wang to exchange it with those unmarried soldiers!" Wang Xiangyu comforted her after hearing the warm words.
"Well, I'll ask him to change it when needed, but it probably won't be needed in the short term."
After buying the cloth, Wen Nuan, with the help of Wang Xiangyu and Liu Na, bought some condiments such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and small items such as needles and thread. The supply and marketing cooperative was still a little small and did not have many things, but she did buy everything she needed.
Seeing that Wen Nuan bought a lot of things and it was inconvenient to carry them in a cloth bag, Liu Na took out a backpack from the warehouse and asked Wen Nuan to put the things in the backpack and take it back. The backpack would be delivered to Liu Na's home and she could take it back later.
Most of the daily necessities have been bought, but the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't sell any food, especially eggs, so there is no way Wen Nuan can sneak through the space.
"Sister Xiangyu, where can we buy eggs and other things when we want to eat them?" Wen Nuan was walking back with Wang Xiangyu, carrying a backpack.
"Eggs. The supply and marketing cooperative sells them in the morning. You have to come early to buy them. The quantity is limited. They are usually delivered from nearby villages. When the supply and marketing cooperative sells out, you have to go to the village to buy them. But it's a bit far. The nearest village is two hours away from here. So, usually you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning. Another thing is to raise chickens. In our family area, each household can raise three chickens. Generally speaking, the eggs they lay are enough for us to eat!"
"Oh, then I'll come over early tomorrow morning and take a look!"
"Well, usually you can arrive at six o'clock. The supply and marketing cooperative opens at seven. You can't arrive too late. You have to queue up. And if you're lucky, you might even get chicken, duck, fish, and the like. By the way," Wang Xiangyu leaned in front of Wen Nuan and whispered, "Sometimes villagers will bring chickens, fish, and the like to sell outside the supply and marketing cooperative before dawn. You can buy some secretly at that time. As long as you don't make a big fuss, we won't care. But you must come early!"
"I understand, Sister Xiangyu!" Wen Nuan also replied in a low voice.
"By the way, our supply and marketing cooperative will slaughter pigs and sell meat on the 8th of every month. Basically everyone will come to buy on that day. You have to line up early, and the quantity is limited. Each household can only line up for 5 kilograms. Because the queue is early, it is usually men who line up. You can ask Captain Wang to come when the time comes!"
"Oh, I see!"
For Wen Nuan, who had taken the powerful pills, the things in the backpack were nothing, and there was Wang Xiangyu to chat with, so the two of them returned home quickly.
"Oh my, girl, you're really strong and have a good physique!" Wang Xiangyu saw that Wen Nuan was just blushing and didn't look very tired, so she started to praise her.
"I was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and I did farm work for several years, so I still have some strength," Wen Nuan said shyly.
"Oh, that doesn't look like it. Look at how fair and tender this girl is. People would believe if you said she was pampered at home!" Wang Xiangyu said in disbelief.
"Haha, there's no such thing as pampering. I'm just going to get married, so I've been keeping it a secret for a while."
"That also shows that the girl has a good foundation. She just needs to cover it up. For people like us, covering it up for a long time won't work! Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to go back first. I have to prepare dinner again. You should take a break and prepare it too!"
"Sister-in-law, drink some water before you go."
"No need. It's just a few steps away. Let's go home and drink. Let's go!" Wang Xiangyu waved her hand, took her things and left.
When Wen Nuan couldn’t see his back anymore, she closed the door.
No one knew where Feifei had gone since Wen Nuan left in the afternoon. Wen Nuan didn't care. She packed up the things she bought, looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, and it was time to prepare dinner, so she went to the kitchen.
Originally, she planned to smuggle a chicken and some eggs out while going to the supply and marketing cooperative, but it turned out that the cooperative didn't have these things at all in the afternoon. Wen Nuan was not sure whether Wang Jianshe knew about it, so to be safe, she didn't take them out.
I steamed some rice in the evening, fried some peppers with bacon, and made a vegetable and bacon soup. That’s it for now. I must get up early tomorrow and go to the supply and marketing cooperative, Wen Nuan made a secret decision in her heart.
At six o'clock, Wang Jianshe arrived home on time. The warm meal would take some time, so Wang Jianshe went out with a bucket to fetch water, filling the tanks in the yard and the kitchen. It was time to eat.
At the dinner table, Wen Nuan talked about her going out with Sister Xiangyu in the afternoon, and also said that she planned to get up early tomorrow to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Wang Jianshe calculated the time in his mind and thought that he would have enough time to send his young wife to the supply and marketing cooperative.
After dinner, Wang Jianshe boiled water for his young wife to take a bath. The small compartment next to the kitchen was a bathroom built by Wang Jianshe himself. He also dug a drain, which surprised Wen Nuan.
In the bathroom, after taking a comfortable bath in a basin, the impatient man took her to the bed, and the passionate night passed quickly...
