The salesperson glanced at Song Nanting, then at Zhao Hongmei, secretly gave Song Nanting a thumbs up, and whispered, "Good job."
Turned around to get what Song Nanting needed.
Song Nanting couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Zhao Hongmei was hated by everyone at this time.
The Zhao Hongmei she knew was the Zhao Hongmei of 20 years later. At that time, Zhao Hongmei was in her 50s and had become an old lady. None of her sons were easy to take care of. The eldest son died, and the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't stand Zhao Hongmei and remarried. The second son's family was fine, but they didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Hongmei and rarely visited.
At that time, Zhao Hongmei was like a grudge woman, telling everyone how heartless her second son was and how unfilial her daughter was. But did Zhao Hongmei really feel sorry for her daughter?
No, otherwise she wouldn’t have been married for so many years and refused to come back.
Zhao Hongmei is still young and doesn't know how to restrain herself. She will suffer the consequences when she gets older.
Auntie Song knew how Song Nanting could argue with people, so she wasn't worried at all. She looked at Zhao Hongmei calmly and said, "Xiao Zhao, Auntie, you shouldn't be like this. They are a legal couple, and your statement sounds like you are accusing Captain Lu of being irresponsible."
Zhao Hongmei said angrily, "It's irresponsible in the first place."
Song Nanting: "If you keep saying that, I will go to the Political Department right now."
Of course Zhao Hongmei didn't dare to say anything and turned away angrily.
The salesperson took what Song Nanting wanted and asked, "When are you going to have your wedding?"
Well, gossiping is a common trait among people. When asked this question, the ears of those who were reluctant to leave the supply and marketing cooperative perked up. They all wanted to hear what Song Nanting had to say.
Song Nanting didn't think there was anything wrong with saying these things, so she smiled and said, "Jian An said he was going on a mission, and we'll have the wedding when he comes back. In order to make me feel at ease, he got the certificate from me before he left. When the specific date is set, I will definitely tell you, and then we can go to the wedding for a drink."
The salesperson immediately perked up and said, "Okay."
After buying these, Song Nanting went to the grain store next door and bought some rice, flour, grain and oil. As for pots and pans, Song Nanting had space for them, such as the iron pots from Zhangqiu, which looked simple and could not be distinguished from the old ones. She would only wait until Aunt Song left, and then she would pick out the ones that could be used.
Aunt Song didn't find it strange. Since she wasn't married yet, it was useless to prepare all the things. She had to buy them gradually, otherwise it would cost a lot of money all at once. Money was secondary. The most important thing was that the tickets were hard to find.
The two men walked back carrying their things, and were still treated like monkeys along the way.
Auntie Song looked at Song Nanting and suddenly said, "You didn't have a good time at the educated youth camp, did you?"
Song Nanting was stunned and chuckled, "Auntie, why do you say that?"
Aunt Song looked at her and said calmly, "I can guess it. I feel that you are more stable than before."
Song Nanting laughed, "Do you think the old me would have just slapped him and gotten over it?"
"Yes." Aunt Song laughed, "Now I know not to bother with such people."
Song Nanting explained, "This is called using courtesy before force. If I can't force them to retreat with words, then I will definitely use force. This is a military compound after all, and it's not good to hurt them. Don't put sacks on people unless it's absolutely necessary."
Aunt Song laughed and said, "You were the one who beat up Xu Shichang, right?"
Even though it had been so long, Song Nanting did not refute it and nodded, "It was me."
She sighed and said, "I haven't come in yet, so I have to make a good impression."
Aunt Song: "Zhao Hongmei, I've heard that people who leave the military compound are not very reasonable. I'm afraid I'll find fault with you in the future."
"That's even better. If she doesn't make trouble, I won't have the chance to punish her." Song Nanting waved her hand nonchalantly, "These are all small matters."
The two returned to the courtyard, and Song Nanting first went to the house in the west to borrow a bucket of water to use as a guide to pump up the water in the well.
Then he started to clean the doors, windows and kang in the house.
There were really too few things, and that was all I could wipe, so I was done in no time.
It was getting late, so Aunt Song went back to cook.
Song Nanting put rice, flour, grain and oil into the cleaned kitchen and put them into a shabby cabinet. Then she took out an iron pot from the space.
This iron wok is from Zhangqiu and is made in very good condition. More importantly, there is no label on it and it looks plain and you can’t tell its age.
As for bowls and chopsticks, Song Nanting also has all-white ones in her space. She even has a set of similar items. These were given as gifts by the mall when she bought something. She thought they were ugly when she took them out, so she stuffed them in the storage room. Unexpectedly, the things she disliked back then are now just right for use.
After putting the things away, Song Nanting saw that it was already half past four. She had to go back quickly, otherwise it would be unsafe on the road after dark.
Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of a car was heard outside. Song Nanting thought Lu Jianan had returned and hurried out of the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Wang who came. "Before leaving, our team leader asked me to take you back this afternoon."
Song Nanting looked around the yard and nodded, "Okay."
Lock the main room door and the kitchen door, then lock the courtyard door as well.
Song Nanting glanced at the empty yard and planned to come over in a couple of days to turn the soil and plant the vegetable seeds so that they would have vegetables to eat after they got married.
On the way back, Song Nanting couldn't help but ask Xiao Wang about Lu Jianan.
After all, as a former military wife, Song Nanting knew exactly what to ask and what not to ask.
