After lunch and a short nap, Wen Nuan led Yang Chunhua and Wang Xiaomei to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Mom, there is a supply and marketing cooperative in the army. You can go there to buy the small things you need on a daily basis. In the morning, they sell fresh things like eggs, fish, and vegetables. They are not in stock, so you have to come early to line up. Also, on the 8th of every month, the supply and marketing cooperative slaughters pigs and sells meat, so you have to come early to line up. You can only buy no more than 5 kilograms of meat each time..."
"Okay, from now on, just let my little sister take care of the queueing. If you need anything, ask her to get up early and queue up!"
"Well, sister-in-law, just leave it to me!"
"Okay, I'll trouble our little sister from now on!"
The three of them walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative while talking.
On the way, Yang Chunhua kept looking at Wen Nuan nervously. Wen Nuan smiled and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. The doctor also said that walking more often will be good for childbirth!"
"Looking at your belly, I can't help but worry. By the way, Nuannuan, did Jianshe tell me what to do when you give birth? Should we find a midwife or go to the hospital?"
"She gave birth in our military hospital. Some time ago, the women's director, Sister Ma, saw that there were many pregnant women in the family quarters. It was inconvenient for them to go to the town for check-ups and give birth in the future. So she applied to the higher-ups for an obstetrics and gynecology department. In the future, pregnant women can directly go to the military hospital for check-ups and give birth. Mom, look, it's over there!"
"Where is it? Oh, I see it. Is that the building?"
"Yes, that's it. I have to go check it out in a few days!"
"Oh, that's great, I feel relieved now!"
"Xiao Nuan!" Suddenly someone called out Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan looked and saw that it was Sister Xiangyu.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"
"Oh, I was just about to wash clothes, and I saw that the laundry soap was gone, so I hurried over to buy some. Is this your aunt?"
"Yes, this is my mother-in-law, and this is my sister-in-law. You can just call her little sister," Wen Nuan pointed at Wang Xiangyu and said to Yang Chunhua, "Mom, this is Sister Xiangyu. She is so kind to me. When I first came here, it was thanks to Sister Xiangyu that I was able to adapt so quickly!"
"Hello, Auntie. I often hear Xiao Nuan say how good you are to her. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. Now I finally get to meet you!"
"Oh, Xiao Nuan also praised you a lot in the letter, saying that you helped her a lot and taught her a lot of things. Auntie has always wanted to thank you. If you have time to come home and visit, Auntie will make you something delicious!"
"Oh, Auntie, I won't be polite. I've been craving the chili sauce you made for a long time. Xiao Nuan gave me a portion before, and our whole family hasn't had enough. Now that you're here, I have to learn from you!"
"Okay, just come, I will teach you!"
"Okay, Auntie, Xiao Nuan, let's not talk about it for now. My clothes are soaking in the basin. I have to go back and wash them. I will go to your house to find you tomorrow!"
"Okay, Sister Xiangyu, go now!"
"Aunt, I'll come find you tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"
After Wang Xiangyu walked away, Yang Chunhua smiled and said to Wen Nuan, "This Xiangyu is good, she has a straightforward personality and is worth making friends with!"
"That's right. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and there's another sister named Na. She's also very nice. When you and my little sister go to the supply and marketing cooperative, just go find her directly!"
"Okay, let's go check it out!"
The mother and her two daughters strolled and chatted, and soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister Na, are you busy today?" Wen Nuan waved and greeted Liu Na at the counter as soon as she walked in.
"Xiao Nuan, why are you here? Didn't you tell me that I would bring you whatever you needed? Your belly is so big now, and you've walked such a long way, you must be so tired!" Liu Na saw that it was Wen Nuan who came, and before she got to her, Lao Dao arrived.
Listening to Liu Na's chatter, Wen Nuan felt warm in her heart. She held Liu Na's hand like a spoiled child and said, "I'm fine. The doctor also said that walking around more will help with the birth process. Today I brought my mother-in-law and sister-in-law here. They will come to buy things later."
While Wen Nuan was talking, Liu Na ran back to the counter and got out a stool for Wen Nuan to sit on. After Wen Nuan sat down, she looked at Yang Chunhua and Wang Xiaomei who were following Wen Nuan.
"Is this your aunt? I heard from Xiao Nuan that you were coming, and I was thinking of going over to see you after get off work tonight!" Liu Na said with a smile.
"You are the Sister Na that Xiao Nuan mentioned. Oh, thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Nuan!" Yang Chunhua could tell from what Liu Na said and the stool she took that she was really kind to Xiao Nuan. If someone treats her family well, you must be polite too.
"That's nothing. Xiao Nuan is well-behaved and gentle, and she is likable. I am willing to be nice to Xiao Nuan!" Liu Na said bluntly.
"Yes, our Xiao Nuan is so adorable and so well-behaved and sensible!" Yang Chunhua agreed with Liu Na's words, so the two people with the same ideas started chatting together.
Wen Nuan looked at the two people chatting animatedly, smiled helplessly, looked at Wang Xiaomei who was standing aside, and said with a smile, "Little sister, go and see what you need, and I'll ask Sister Na to get it for you later."
Wang Xiaomei stood beside Wen Nuan obediently and said honestly, "Sister-in-law, you don't need anything. You have bought everything. There is no need."
"It's okay, go and take a look. You can buy anything you like," Wen Nuan said with a gentle smile, looking at the curiosity in Wang Xiaomei's eyes.
"Then sister-in-law, can you do it alone?" Wang Xiaomei was really curious. Yang Chunhua was usually very frugal and seldom took Wang Xiaomei to the supply and marketing cooperative when they were in the village. So, Wang Xiaomei really wanted to take a good look at it now, even though this supply and marketing cooperative was so small.
