It was still early when they returned to the island. When they were on the boat just now, they heard someone say that there would be meat today. After getting off the boat, Shen Qingqing immediately took Zhou Yuanzheng to the supply and marketing cooperative on the island to buy supplies. In those days, meat was not always available, but only once a week, so it was not certain that you could get it. When meat was available, everyone would get up early to line up, just to buy some meat to go home and improve their meals.
When she heard that the farm in the logistics department had slaughtered a pig, Shen Qingqing immediately ran to line up. Because it was a pig slaughtered at the last minute, not many people knew about it, so she wanted to queue up and buy some ribs to take home while few people knew about it.
The news that meat was available had just come in. When Shen Qingqing and her partner were there, there weren't many people queuing in the supply and marketing cooperative. It just so happened that pork was also available at that time, so Shen Qingqing ordered two pounds of spare ribs and one pound of lean meat. If the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative hadn't said that each person could only buy three pounds at most, she would have wanted to buy another two pounds of pork belly. But she was already satisfied with being able to grab spare ribs.
After buying the pork, the two squeezed out of the crowded crowd and happened to run into a few familiar military wives who had just heard the news.
The sisters-in-law looked at Shen Qingqing with sharp eyes and waved enthusiastically, "Xiao Shen, you came so early today."
Shen Qingqing smiled as she carried the spareribs she had finally picked up, "That's right. When we were on the boat today, I heard someone say that we have meat for sale, so I hurried over here."
"At least I'm not too late. But I heard from the people at the supply and marketing cooperative that each person can only buy three kilograms at most. They won't sell more than that. I guess they're afraid that someone will want more and there will be no more for those who come later."
The sister-in-law also sighed with emotion, "Yes, we are lucky today. I heard that the farm just slaughtered a pig. Otherwise, we would have to wait until next week. You see, I went too late this week and didn't buy any. If I wait again next week, I won't be able to eat meat for two weeks."
The young woman next to her also agreed, "Yes, you said that we adults have to suffer a little, but I have a two or three-year-old child at home, who keeps telling me that he wants to eat meat. No matter how hard it is, we can't let the child suffer. So, I heard from the neighbor that there was meat today, so I hurried over."
After they finished talking, their eyes fell on Shen Qingqing, and they couldn't help but praise her, "I couldn't see clearly because there were so many people just now. Did Xiao Shen go out to play today? You are dressed up really beautifully, as beautiful as a flower. According to my sister-in-law, you are the most elegant among the family members of your age."
After buying the meat, the young woman also smiled, "Really? I was so busy buying meat that I didn't notice that Xiao Shen is dressed so fashionably today, like a Hong Kong star! This skirt is so unique, you must have bought it in a department store."
Shen Qingqing embarrassedly tucked her hair away, "What the two sisters-in-law said made my face red."
"What's the big deal? Sister-in-law, you don't know me. I always say what I think. You are good-looking, isn't it obvious to anyone with eyes? Why are you being so modest? You looked good even when you were working in the fields in plain clothes. Today, you look like a girl in a magazine in a little skirt. According to sister-in-law, you young people should be like this. How wonderful..."
Shen Qingqing and the other two were chatting happily here, but she didn't notice that there was a pair of disgusted and jealous eyes staring at her not far behind them.
This person was none other than Shen Jiaojiao. She came here because she heard there was meat for sale. But who would have thought that she would see the unlucky Shen Qingqing as soon as she arrived.
What made her even more angry was that Shen Qingqing actually wore a skirt today and shamelessly put on makeup!
At first she almost didn't dare to recognize her. When did this bumpkin become so fashionable? Shen Jiaojiao thought she was as pretty as Shen Qingqing and was better at dressing up than her, so she always called Shen Qingqing a bumpkin.
But today her makeup and clothes were completely beyond Shen Jiaojiao's cognition, and she was so angry that she almost didn't want to buy meat. The other party was exquisite like a movie star, while she, since being taught a lesson by Lu Yunshan, she has been wearing gray all day long. It's either navy blue or cement gray. She is a girl in her twenties, and she doesn't even want to be beautiful.
For some reason, Shen Jiaojiao always felt that Shen Qingqing's skin color became whiter, and she looked radiant and lustrous. No matter how hard she worked, Shen Qingqing not only did not get tanned, but she looked even better.
No, it must be Qi who put makeup on this girl, otherwise how could she be so beautiful!
In her previous life, after Shen Qingqing married Lu Yunshan, she rarely wore makeup. Not only that, but she was so tired from doing housework that she looked like a person in her forties at the age of 35. She had so many wrinkles on her face and her skin was sallow and looked sickly.
Because of her, Shen Qingqing's life became more and more comfortable. Shen Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost broke her teeth. She even dressed up in this life.
She couldn't help but feel a little sour.
If it was herself who married Zhou Yuanzheng, then the woman who looked happy with delicate makeup now would be herself. If she put on some makeup, she would definitely look much better than Shen Qingqing, a country bumpkin!
