"Why are you being so formal? How can a grown man like you do these things?! These are women's jobs!"
"It's all because my family isn't doing their job properly. Battalion Commander Xiao, my Hongxia is different. She's meticulous. In the future, just ask her for help with these things!"
The old woman surnamed Zhao completely ignored Aunt Xiao and Su Ruobai who were standing next to her.
Aunt Xiao saw that the old woman had come again.
I was so angry!
There are also those who try to undermine others.
Have you no shame?!
Since she has no shame, there's no need for me to help her hide it.
Why is your daughter so eager to get married?
What we do is none of your business!
Your daughter is so thoughtful, and so helpful.
You've really made a name for yourself.
My son has a wife and an elderly mother, he doesn't need you!
Aunt Xiao's words were quite unpleasant.
Basically, they've completely broken off relations.
When she first arrived, she was completely clueless.
I originally planned to keep a low profile for a few days and act like a quail.
I never imagined there could be such shamelessness.
They even dare to dig into corners of walls that already have owners.
Su Ruobai looked at the girl following Aunt Zhao, her face flushed with shyness.
She glanced at Xiao Yichen every now and then.
Yes, I can see that.
The air was thick with sweet affection.
When my mom was nagging beside me.
She didn't say anything.
It was only when his own mother-in-law started scolding him that he finally understood what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame meant.
He grabbed his mother and tried to leave.
"Mom, let's go, there are so many people here!"
How embarrassing it would be if someone saw us!
Aunt Zhao looked around at the people. This was the entrance to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The place isn't big, but there are quite a few people.
They're not buying or selling anything anymore.
Everyone was just watching the spectacle.
Aunt Zhao's wrinkled old face twitched.
He wanted to say something more, opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
Following the girl's wishes, I left.
There's no need to rush.
Judging from the young woman's delicate and frail appearance, she was clearly not someone who could easily bear children.
They finally had a child, but it turned out to be a useless little girl.
You absolutely cannot compete with Hongxia!
Her daughter has given birth to three sons.
Now she and Hongxia live right next to Battalion Commander Xiao, so they have plenty of opportunities.
After everyone left, Aunt Xiao turned to look at her daughter-in-law. She thought, "She's alright, the girl isn't affected at all. She's even looking towards the supply and marketing cooperative."
I was thinking of buying something.
The supply and marketing cooperative here is small, mainly supplying families and surrounding villagers.
Although it's called a supply and marketing cooperative, it's really just a sales agency.
However, the variety is more extensive.
Xiao Yichen was also afraid that his wife would overthink things, so he paid close attention to her reaction.
Fortunately, his wife trusted him. Sure enough, his wife's love for him was no longer afraid of any threats.
Actually, Su Ruobai was thinking this: What? Men? Aren't there plenty of men?
If it's suitable, keep it and let it be Baodan's father. No matter what, no one else can be as good as a biological father.
If it's not a good fit, just find another one. You can grow up well even without parents.
Also, is Beijing really that good?
The variety of species is incredible.
Surprisingly, there were small yellow crucian carp.
The current transportation conditions are still not good, so this kind of fish is caught using the old method: it is placed in a basket and covered with a lot of cattails.
Even at the fastest speed, it would have already been booked from the beach to here.
It's just a slight spoilage.
It has a unique, pungent smell characteristic of seafood.
There's also ribbonfish, which has a foul odor.
There are also various salted fish, dried shrimp, and crab.
Su Ruobai was doing well a while ago, as she had these things in her space.
She would catch whatever she wanted to eat from the sea using vines.
Later, Aunt Xiao came, and everything became inconvenient; she hadn't eaten these things for a long time.
Taking out her money, Su Ruobai began her shopping spree.
Buy, buy, buy!
This place not only has seafood that can be stored and transported easily, but also various seasonal vegetables, chickens that can be slaughtered, and various freshwater fish raised in large basins.
Chatting with the woman selling fish, I learned that the fish were brought here after the nearby villages had netted them in the river.
Everything is fresh.
When Su Ruobai looked at it, there were only two results left.
She brought out a large grass carp without any hesitation.
Add some pork belly to this and stew it; it will definitely taste delicious.
It's okay if you don't have any; adding some lard will do the same thing.
Xiao Yichen followed behind and paid the bill.
The fishmonger's surname is Gu. Looking at the couple, they seemed like a perfect match.
"Battalion Commander Xiao, is this your wife? She's so beautiful! You two are such a perfect match!"
The older sister quickly used a soaked straw to pierce the fish's gills.
Tie a knot and hand it to Xiao Yichen.
Xiao Yichen's serious and tense face showed a slight smile when he heard these words.
"No, Sister Gu, we're leaving now!"
After saying that, he led the way and left first.
Sister Gu chuckled; she was shy.
But look at that raised chin, he's quite smug!
Su Ruobai waved and followed.
But Sister Gu stopped her abruptly.
I was originally going to use my hands to eat it, but then I thought about the fishy smell on my hands.
She stopped halfway there.
Sister Gu lowered her voice and whispered in Su Ruobai's ear, "Little sister, you should keep an eye on that Zhao Hongmei. She's no good."
This girl looks like a gentle and delicate person.
Don't let yourself get bullied.
"If anything happens, just come to Sister Gu, and she'll help you!"
