Zheng Baozhu had a very long dream.
In the dream, there was a girl with the same name as me. One month before her wedding, my cousin and her fiancé slept in the same bed.
For the sake of reputation, the two families had to allow the two to get married.
The girl will marry her cousin's fiancé.
On the wedding day, the groom had an urgent mission and rushed back to the army. She completed the wedding alone and took a train to join the troops.
When she arrived at the army, the girl developed a high fever due to the unfamiliar climate and water...
…
Zheng Baozhu was awakened by the cold.
I wrapped myself tightly in the quilt, but still felt very cold. I reached out to touch the air conditioner remote control on the bedside table, but found nothing.
Zheng Baozhu sat up and turned on the light, but she couldn't find the switch on the wall. When she pulled her hand back, she touched a wire.
With a "click", the lights in the room came on.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, Zheng Baozhu rubbed his eyes.
He reached out and pulled the thin rope tied to the head of the bed.
The lights in the house were turned off.
I pulled it again and the light came on.
It turned out to be the light switch.
There was an old-fashioned wardrobe, a table and a chair in the room.
There was also the bed where he was lying, and the quilt on it was army green.
The only decoration in the room is the calendar hanging on the big white wall.
Zheng Baozhu stood up and took a look. The calendar showed November 10, 1985.
She opened the door to see where she was, but as soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, making Zheng Baozhu shiver, and she quickly closed the door.
It was a pitch-black night and Zheng Baozhu was in a strange place. She was very frightened and had no desire to sleep. She could only sit there with her eyes wide open until there was a ray of light outside the window.
…
After putting on her clothes, Zheng Baozhu opened the door again, and the wind became a little weaker.
This is a small courtyard with two main rooms and two side rooms. Zheng Baozhu opened the gate and saw the same courtyard on both sides.
The gate of the courtyard next door also opened. An elder sister-in-law saw Zheng Baozhu and said, "Sister-in-law, wake up. My name is Ding Peizhi, and everyone calls me Sister Ding. You got up very early. You just came to the army. Are you used to living here last night?"
force?
Looking at the blue coarse cloth clothes on his sister-in-law, the troops she talked about, the calendar he saw in the room, and his own dreams, Zheng Baozhu realized that he had traveled through time.
Ding Peizhi said, "You just came to the army. Captain Song usually lives alone and doesn't cook. There must be no food at home. I will take you to the army cafeteria to get food."
Speaking of eating, Zheng Baozhu's stomach started to growl.
After returning to the room, Zheng Baozhu saw a lunch box on the table. Just as she was about to go out, she searched her pockets.
No money in pocket.
Recalling the dream, the original owner was wronged, and her grandfather gave her a lot of dowry as compensation.
Zheng Baozhu opened the wardrobe and took out the box.
The box was filled with clothes, but they were all summer clothes.
I searched the box but didn't find a penny.
I took out all my clothes and searched my pockets, but still couldn't find a penny.
Could it be that the original owner took the wrong box?
This is embarrassing.
It's okay to travel through time.
She also accepted dressing as a married person.
Being penniless is too miserable.
But since she is in the army, we can't let her starve to death.
Zheng Baozhu came out and said to Ding Peizhi, "Sister Ding, I came here in a hurry and forgot to bring money. Can I get some advance from Captain Song's salary?"
Ding Peizhi was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll talk to the political commissar."
Soon, a man in military uniform came out. He was the political commissar that Ding Peizhi mentioned.
Political Commissar Qiu handed Zheng Baozhu 50 yuan and said, "Zhi Ting will be back in a week. Take these first."
Zheng Baozhu took the money and said thank you.
…
After breakfast, Zheng Baozhu wanted to buy some daily necessities, but there was not a single cotton coat in the box brought by the original owner.
Now that winter has arrived, the weather on the island is colder than at home. This is probably why the original owner had a high fever when he first arrived on the island.
Ding Peizhi said: "There is only one small shop on the island, selling needles, thread, and student stationery. There are not many varieties of goods. We usually buy a few more things every time we go out of the island.
We grow our own vegetables, and if we want to eat seafood, we can pick it ourselves. It is also very cheap if we buy it from fishermen.
If you don’t want to cook, you can go to the cafeteria to get food and eat it.”
The two took the ferry and arrived at the nearby Zhaozhuang market.
Zheng Baozhu needs to buy a set of cotton-padded clothes and autumn clothes.
Ding Peizhi said: "I bought the cloth and cotton to make my own cotton coats and trousers. There were also tailors at the cloth stalls."
At the cloth stalls, cotton cloth was 1.02 yuan per meter, polyester-cotton cloth was 2.36 yuan per meter, and cotton was 3 yuan per catty.
Following the tailor's advice, Zheng Baozhu bought 2 meters of floral cotton cloth for a cotton-padded jacket, 2 meters of black cloth for cotton-padded trousers, and 2 kilograms of cotton. The labor cost was 2.5 yuan.
When measuring the size, Zheng Baozhu asked for an extra 1 yuan and asked the tailor if it could be made today.
The tailor was overjoyed and immediately agreed to go back and finish the work.
She remembered that there was a set of cotton-padded jacket that a customer had made for her at home and would not pick it up until a few days later. Except for the different pattern of the jacket, its size was almost the same as Zheng Baozhu's. If Zheng Baozhu needed to wear it in a hurry, she could take it first.
Ding Peizhi quickly said, "No need. Just buy the fabric and I'll make it for you. It will be ready in three days and you can save some money."
Zheng Baozhu said: "I took the wrong box when I came. It was full of summer clothes."
"So that's how it is. The temperature on the island is low. If you don't wear cotton clothes, you'll catch a cold. We have to make cotton clothes quickly."
