Chapter 106: The Small Market and Neighbors’ Visit (1 / 2)



"Ah? Then no one cares?"

Li Lin, Zhao Chunmei and Li Donghai were all shocked when they heard that there was a small market.

"No one cares. People around here buy things there. I heard from other military wives that in the summer, there are small markets selling vegetables and meat. It will be much more convenient for us to buy vegetables then."

Hu Yingying also heard about it from other military wives. She had never been here once.

It was only when I actually arrived here that I really saw what the small market looked like.

I saw an open space surrounded by weeds, but it was very lively.

They sell fish and shrimp, as well as kelp and dried seaweed.

There are also hens and pork for sale nearby.

This really opened the eyes of several people.

Li Lin asked her father to keep an eye on the two children while she went shopping.

Bring three pounds of green shrimps, a bag of dried shrimps, and three hairtails.

One black fish, three pieces of kelp, and a bundle of dried seaweed.

Bring me an old hen and five pounds of pork.

Zhao Chunmei couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Li Lin to stop her from buying anything.

Only then did Li Lin stop with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

There were too many things and the few people had nothing to take, so they could only buy an earthen basket and a backpack.

Although Hu Yingying was not as extravagant as Li Lin, she also bought a lot of things.

Especially after hearing Li Lin say that shrimps can supplement calcium, I bought some more dried shrimps for my parents and children so that they can eat two when they have nothing to do.

In the end, Li Donghai worked as a laborer, carrying a backpack on his back and holding a clay basket in one hand.

Li Lin was carrying the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhao Chunmei and Hu Yingying each took a child back to the military region.

Li Lin took her things and took Dandan back home. Before leaving, she did not forget to invite her parents and sister-in-law to her house for dinner in the evening.

They didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

But when Li Lin returned downstairs to her home, she was seen by the military wives who were chatting downstairs. Although they didn't say anything at the time, they started talking after Li Lin went upstairs.

"That was Captain Fang's new wife, right? She may be pretty, but she seems to be extravagant and I don't think she knows how to live."

This sister-in-law is called Gao Xiaolan. She lives across from Li Lin’s house. She also came from the countryside. She is a gossiper and loves to gossip about other people’s families.

When he saw the big fish and meat that Li Lin bought, he became envious and jealous, and his words became unpleasant.

"I don't know whether they can live together, but I heard that she is the sister of the new battalion commander Li. It's better for us to avoid people like her."

The military wife next to them was Liu Qinghua, and she lived upstairs in Li Lin’s house.

But she heard from her husband that Captain Li was here just to get familiar with the situation and would soon become deputy regiment commander.

As for her own sisters, they should stay away from them, to avoid giving their men troubles later, which would be bad.

"Really? Then why don't we take some things with us? We live upstairs and downstairs, so we'll have to get along with each other in the future."

The sister-in-law who was speaking lived downstairs from Li Lin’s house. Her name was Zhou Hongying.

After hearing what the two said, they felt that since they were new here, they had to go and see them, after all, they would have to live with them for a long time in the future.

"Bring some with you. We'll meet each other sooner or later. It's better for us to get to know each other."

The one who spoke was called Sun Xiaoguo. She was the first sister-in-law to arrive among them, but she had not been there for long. After hearing what Zhou Hongying said, she agreed.

I stood up and went home to prepare things.

Seeing this, Liu Qinghua and Zhou Hongying also stood up and went home.

Only Gao Xiaolan went home reluctantly, and casually took a cabbage and a few potatoes.
