The room was clean and there was nothing wrong with it.
Yun Qiao put down his luggage, tidied it up briefly, and left the room.
When I first returned to the family compound, there was almost nothing at home.
Because Qin Zheng was the only one living in this huge yard before, and Qin Zheng was a bachelor, he didn't need to cook when he lived there, and usually ate in the cafeteria. So several months after the yard was approved, the kitchen was still empty and no one had used it.
Rice, flour, grain, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar all have to be purchased on the spot.
Fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores in the family quarters of the camp are constantly replenished by the logistics department, so there is no shortage of daily necessities.
There was a wide variety of goods on the counter, and Yun Qiao accompanied Feng Juan to buy everything in just one trip.
As the Spring Festival approaches, supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores have special Spring Festival supplies. These special supplies can be purchased with an officer's ID/family ID, and include one pound of oil, one pound of eggs, two pounds of flour, and a three-pound frozen white-striped chicken, as well as one pound of sugar, half a pound of peanuts, and half a pound of melon seeds.
In addition, Feng Juan spent all her meat coupons on five pounds of pork belly. She also used her food coupons to buy five pounds of white flour and five pounds of cornmeal. She also used her food coupons to buy ten heads of Chinese cabbage, ten pounds of carrots, and ten pounds of white radish, all without coupons.
She originally wanted to buy two more kilograms of eggs, but she didn't have any egg coupons, so she had no choice but to give up for the time being. She thought about asking Qin Zheng when she got back to see if he had any extra egg coupons.
Spring Festival is coming. Eggs are indispensable when making frying meatballs, fried crispy meat and batter. Eggs are also indispensable when making dumplings with leek and egg filling on the first day of the New Year. The one pound of eggs specially supplied during the Spring Festival is not enough.
Feng Juan bought too many things and they were too heavy for her and Yun Qiao to carry them alone.
Zhang Ping, a salesperson working at the grocery store and also a military wife in the camp, delivered the goods to them directly on the tricycle from the grocery store.
Zhang Ping was in her thirties and looked a little younger than Feng Juan. She was enthusiastic and cheerful, laughing and chatting all the way, and soon became familiar with the two of them.
After riding her bike home, Zhang Ping helped Yun Qiao and the others move everything to the kitchen before waving goodbye. "Okay, everything's delivered. I'll be leaving now. If you need any vegetables at home, just come to me at the grocery store."
"Thank you so much, take your time." Feng Juan sent Zhang Ping out the door and stuffed a handful of candy into her hands.
Zhang Ping held the candy in her hand and smiled helplessly: "Look at you, I just helped you a little bit, you are too polite."
Feng Juan smiled and waved her hand: "It's just a few candies, not worth much, give them to the child to sweeten his mouth."
Not far away, Cui Xuezhi and her aunt Cui Jing were strolling past the alley entrance. Seeing Feng Juan and Zhang Ping chatting and their location, Cui Xuezhi frowned. "Hey, Yard No. 3 in Lane 3...isn't that yard empty? I was originally wanting that yard, so why is it suddenly occupied?"
"It's not sudden." Cui Jing said calmly, "He was kicked out three months ago. You haven't been to the family compound during this period, so you don't know."
Cui Xuezhi was a little dissatisfied: "But didn't I tell my uncle that I wanted that yard? How can it be given to someone else?"
"Who told you to refuse to get married to Xiao Dong?" Cui Jing said helplessly, "How can Xiao Dong apply for a house if you don't get married to him? What's the point of just saying you want one?"
Cui Xuezhi curled her lips and did not directly answer the question about the certificate. Instead, she asked, "Who did you give the house to?"
"Captain Qin Zheng, you know, right?"
Cui Xuezhi nodded. "I know. He's the guy who lost his sister and swore he wouldn't get married until he found her. So? He got married? I thought he was going to be single for the rest of his life."
