Chapter 157

"Sister-in-law, you live here."

Wen Hua seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness. He waved happily to Tang Wan and walked to the gate of her courtyard.

"yes."

Tang Wan turned her head and glanced at her indifferently, then carefully moved her hands to pat the cotton wool on the quilt.

Wen Hua suppressed the smile in his eyes when he saw this and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry.

I have nothing to do with Vice Colonel Lu, except that he saved me once by chance."

Although Tang Wan was a little surprised, she still smiled and said, "He said he thought of you when he got home last night."

"Really?"

Wen Hua was somewhat happy, but he heard Tang Wan say calmly, "Really? But he said saving people is his duty as a soldier.

Even if it wasn't you, but an ordinary citizen, he would still save you. I hope you don't take it too seriously, so as not to burden him psychologically."

It's really annoying, everyone would feel that way.

As expected, the smile on Wen Hua's face disappeared, and she said stiffly, "Yes, he is indeed a responsible soldier."

"Comrade Wen, do you have anything else to say? I need to wash the quilt. Lu Huaijing is too noisy. The quilt is dirty. I have to wash it."

Tang Wan's calm words made Wen Hua even more angry, and his head was buzzing when he thought about the two of them living such a happy married life.

She felt a surge of sadness in her heart; after all, she was a step too late.

"Nothing... nothing."

Wen Hua was a person who cared about her reputation. She smiled awkwardly and said, "The dormitory I was assigned was a single room, so I wanted to come over and look for one."

"The tube building is over there."

Tang Wan pointed to where Lu Huaili and her family lived not far away, smiling brightly.

"Comrade Wen, we are all in the same unit and live in the same compound. If you need anything, you can come to me."

Tang Wan knew that Wen Hua was probably so angry that he would never want to look for her again.

As expected, Wen Hua smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law, but someone from our art troupe wants to take me shopping."

"That's good."

Tang Wan nodded with a smile. Before she entered the house, she saw Lu Huaili coming in in a hurry.

"Third sister-in-law, what is this?"

Lu Huaili looked at Wen Hua with a puzzled look, and Wen Hua nodded to her with a little embarrassment.

"He's a comrade from our cultural troupe."

"Well...sister-in-law, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Wen Hua felt even more uncomfortable when he heard Lu Huaili calling Tang Wan.

I thought Tang Wan was just a little prettier than her, but I didn't expect she had pretty good social skills.

But Lu Huaijing liked her so much, and she came a step late.

After Wen Hua left, Lu Huaili asked Tang Wan in confusion, "Third sister-in-law, why do I feel that you don't like her very much?"

"He was someone your third brother rescued before. They transferred him here especially for him."

Tang Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Lu Huaili was shocked and said hurriedly:

"Third sister-in-law, I have never seen her before. Third brother is a person who loves to stand up for the weak. He may not even remember who she is."

"Maybe."

Although Tang Wan was unhappy, she didn't take it to heart. She asked Lu Huaili in confusion.

"How is Weicheng's recovery going?"

"It's OK."

Lu Huaili sighed, "If I don't recover, I can't go back to the army. The food jar at home will be empty."

"What are you talking about? If you don't want to talk to me, come and talk to me."

Tang Wan patted Lu Huaili on the shoulder and said, "Your third brother went to get some eggs. I'll bring some back for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Lu Huaili blushed and said, "You have to wait until something big happens to you before you know who is the one who treats you well."

She followed Tang Wan and said, "But Third Sister-in-law, I have to lend it to you.

I've heard from my third brother that you need to supplement your nutrition since you're pregnant. I'll go to the brigade in a few days to exchange some eggs for you."

If the man wasn't injured and Niu Niu wanted to eat, Lu Huaili wouldn't have wanted to ask for it.

"You take it."

Tang Wan gave her twenty eggs, and there were more in her own space mall, but Lu Huaijing didn't remember them so clearly.

Anyway, there is no shortage of these at home.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Weicheng is not in a position to take care of Niuniu right now. I will go back first."

Lu Huaili left with the egg, her face full of emotion. Tang Wan steamed an egg custard for herself at home and cooked some food.

After eating, she rode her bike to town.

The weather in September was still a little hot, so Tang Wan rode as slowly as possible and soon arrived in the town.

There were indeed a lot of eggs in the Space Mall, but many of them were not free-range eggs, so Tang Wan took some and put them in a basket.

He changed into another set of clothes and sneaked into the dark market again.

Perhaps after the last crackdown, there are a few fewer people in the dark market, but it does not prevent everyone from taking risks for food.

Tang Wan was wearing a headscarf and looking around.

She first walked around the dark market, then found a corner to squat down, and then placed the basket in front of her.

Deliberately exposing the eggs in the basket quickly attracted the attention of several people.

"Big sister, how much are the eggs?"

"One cent."

Tang Wan glanced at the people in front of her who were asking the question, and put on a stern face, refusing to bargain.

"Give me ten!"

"I want ten too!"

"Are there any more? If you have, give me 20. My daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby."

“…”

“There are more.”

Tang Wan handed the eggs to them swiftly, handing over the money and the goods.

After selling them, she was not in a hurry, but slowly took out some cucumbers from the sack behind her.

Such fresh and juicy things are especially easy to sell. In just over an hour, Tang Wan sold forty or fifty yuan.

No wonder so many time travelers in novels also like to come to the dark market. Tang Wan is wondering whether to go back.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, Mrs. Qiu, who had once exchanged a gold bracelet for supplies.

Tang Wan thought about it, walked away with the basket, and then quietly put some supplies into the basket.

"Auntie, do you want some fine food?"

Tang Wan deliberately lowered her voice and came in front of Old Madam Qiu. Upon hearing her words, Old Madam Qiu's eyes lit up.

Then he said hesitantly, "Can you exchange it for something else?"

"Yes, ma'am, come closer."

Tang Wan pulled the old lady to a corner, and then showed her the fine grains in the basket.

Old Mrs. Qiu liked it very much and she took out a gold lock from her sleeve.

"Nizi, how much do you think you can get?"

"Ten pounds of fine grain."

Tang Wan opened the basket and showed it to her, "This is all I have in the basket now."

"Nizi, you are a good person."

Old Mrs. Qiu thought about how she had met such a good person in the past, and she didn't know whether they knew each other.

She handed the gold lock to Tang Wan, and the two exchanged money and goods. Tang Wan stuffed all the small bag of fine grains into her hands.

Then he quickly disappeared into the crowd.

After replacing some things, Tang Wan squatted in front of the lady selling eggs.

"Auntie, how do I change?"

"One cent a piece, no tickets needed."

The old lady raised her eyelids, and Tang Wan agreed, "How much do you have?"

"One hundred."

The old lady was immediately cheered up when she saw how generous Tang Wan was. Just when Tang Wan was happily about to give her the money.

It turned out that the eggs in the basket next to her were exactly the same as the ones in her space!
