Chapter 424



The small shop is not state-owned. The owner is a charming woman wearing a red floral shirt.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao coming in, the woman's eyes lit up, "Comrade, you are new to the island too, right? There are no beauties like you in your army."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't expect the boss lady to be so enthusiastic: "You are a military family member."

"A military family member." The proprietress held her face with her hands and supported herself on the glass of the counter with her arms. Her slender waist collapsed downward, forming an alluring curve.

녦Xiye Xiaoxiao is not a man, and her appearance cannot cause any fluctuation in Xiaoxiao's mood.

"There are so many military dependents on the island, but I've never seen a pretty military dependent like you. May I ask who your husband is? You are so lucky."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't expect the lady to be so familiar, so she didn't answer the other party's question.

"Excuse me, is there any rice or flour here?"

Ye Xiaoxiao felt that there should always be some food at home.

The lady boss introduced herself: "My name is Haiyan. I am an aboriginal on the island. You can ask me any questions."

Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, "I want to buy something."

Haiyan took out a bunch of red candles from somewhere and said, "There are frequent power outages on the island, so it's best to prepare some candles."

Ye Xiaoxiao's family doesn't have flashlights, but if there are frequent power outages, they do need candles.

"Oh ok, take one then."

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, "No, I'm asking about rice and noodles."

Haiyan, on the other hand, looked at the customer with a hint of reproach: "Yes, but I suggest you buy less. You and your family members all use meal tickets to eat in the army canteen. If you don't cook often, buying ten kilograms can last you many days.

The climate on the island is humid, so if you buy too much, it might get moldy. ”

Haiyan saw that Ye Xiaoxiao was showing signs of anger, so she quickly regained her composure and began to introduce the couple responsibly.

"Okay, then buy ten kilograms of rice and flour each."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked around the small shop carefully. "Do you have rice cookers here?"

This place doesn't look big, and Ye Xiaoxiao is actually not sure whether it will sell home appliances.

Haiyan felt that this comrade had some misunderstandings about their island. "Of course, but you have to use coupons, and there are not many home appliances."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Just go ahead."

She didn't know how to cook in a big pot using wood fire, and there wasn't enough firewood at home.

There is no gas on the island, so when Ye Xiaoxiao wants to cook, the first thing she thinks of is an electric rice cooker.

"Apart from the rice cooker, are there any other ones, for boiling water, cooking..."

Haiyan heard the other party's question and reminded him very calmly, "Comrade, what you just said about the frequent power outages on the island is not nonsense. You may not be able to use these electrical appliances many times after you buy them."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Then there will always be a time when it can be used."

Haiyan: "We only have rice cookers here, but I'll bring back the ones you just mentioned next time we get them in stock."

She pointed to the paper and pen on the table and said, "Leave your address or phone number, give the money and the ticket to me in advance, and you can get the goods in a dozen days."

Ye Xiaoxiao immediately changed her perception of the proprietress. It turned out that Comrade Haiyan was not a silly girl who only knew how to make jokes, but a good comrade who was serious about serving the people.

"Thank you, please leave the money and the ticket."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't think the other party would cheat her, even though the store was small and the proprietress didn't look trustworthy.

But she is a military dependent, and with this identity, no one would deliberately deceive her unless they are stupid.

Ye Xiaoxiao bought what she wanted, and based on Haiyan's recommendation, she also bought some things that she might use.

Although the other party was suspected of selling products, Ye Xiaoxiao was not buying blindly. She only bought things that she thought were really useful.

"You bought so many things, you can't take them back by yourself, so we will deliver them to your door.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't give you this kind of treatment. They only give you face because you are good-looking."

After Haiyan gave Ye Xiaoxiao the change, she suddenly turned into that dissolute proprietress again.

Serious and lively, the two forms switch freely, and Ye Xiaoxiao even suspected that the other party was learning how to change faces.

However, Xiaoxiao really needs to provide door-to-door delivery service now, and has no time to worry about the boss's personality.

After she nodded and thanked the other party, she saw the proprietress quickly picked up the things and put them on the tricycle at the door.

"Comrade, would you like to take a ride with me?"

Haiyan lifted her curly hair and gave Ye Xiaoxiao a seductive look.

"No need." Ye Xiaoxiao's expression was serious. "It's only a few steps from here to the compound. We can just walk there."

Haiyan pedaled the tricycle and said, "Then I'll go ahead."

When Ye Xiaoxiao walked to the gate of the compound, Haiyan was waiting there.

The security at the family compound was very strict. Even if the guards knew Haiyan, they had to make sure that she was delivering goods before letting her in.

After Ye Xiaoxiao got a positive answer here, the guard wrote down Haiyan's name on the visit list and let her go.

"You live in this courtyard, so your husband must be a high-ranking official."

When Haiyan saw the courtyard that Ye Xiaoxiao pointed to, she said affirmatively.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the person who lived in this courtyard before was a high-ranking official."

Haiyan shrugged, “When we were little, we were so poor here that we couldn’t even afford to eat, and then out of nowhere, a naval troop suddenly came.

Although I am still poor, I no longer feel isolated from the world.

There are now several wells and electricity on the island, and every month you can see large cruise ships dropping off supplies.

Speaking of which, I don't know why Commander He passed away, and we miss him quite a bit."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the proprietress who was expressing her true feelings, and stood there not knowing what to say.

Because she didn't know who Captain He was.

Haiyan came back to her senses and said with emotion: "You haven't seen Commander He. He is so handsome. If I were 20 years younger, I would definitely pursue him."

Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless. She had met many people in appearance associations, but this was the first time she had seen someone as bold and unrestrained as Haiyan.

"Please help me put the things in the living room, thank you."

Ye Xiaoxiao has already started taking things out of the car.

Haiyan got off the tricycle and said, "What a boring woman."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

I'm not Haiyan's type, so why would I want to talk to her about romance?

"Haiyan, you are here to deliver the goods."

When Haiyan was getting something, an older sister-in-law passed by the door and looked into the courtyard with some curiosity.

Haiyan didn't smile at the other party, "Yes, the new military family members who came to the island came here to buy things, and I will help deliver them."

"I bought a lot of this..."

When Ye Xiaoxiao came out again, she saw a strange sister-in-law standing at the door and looked at her.

There was even condemnation in that look.

After looking around, he walked away shaking his head.

"Who is that?"

Ye Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
