Yu Tingwan has a lot of clothes that she can choose to buy or not, one more piece is fine, and she never has too many skirts, she can just put them aside if she doesn’t want to wear them.
In the 21st century, with abundant material resources, people would just throw away things they didn't want to wear anymore. Some things she had never worn were thrown away directly, but she didn't buy anything she didn't like.
Li Jiyue doesn't buy clothes either.
I also visited the shoe and hat, furniture, stationery and food stores.
Both of them bought a pair of shoes and a hat, the same style as their best friend.
Yu Tingwan bought pencils and notebooks for Xiaoxuan and Xiaoyao at the stationery store.
Finally, we went to the grocery store and bought some snacks. They often come to the town, so they don’t buy much, just enough to last for two or three days. After they finish eating, they come back to buy more. This way, the food will be fresher and taste better. If it is left for too long, it will lose its taste.
Yu Tingwan bought a lot, mainly because she had two children at home. Li Jiyue had no children, only a dog.
Erha eats a lot, but he mainly eats meat. I will go to the market to buy some meat for him later.
Occasionally I would secretly take out dog food from the space and feed it to it as a snack.
After buying these, I went to the vegetable market and bought some pork, two pounds of mutton, some seafood, oysters, shrimps, crabs, a bunch of vegetables, and some fruits. I went back to cook a big meal for the two families to eat together. We could finish all the food no matter how much we had.
That was almost it. Fu Chengyu remembered that there was still some wine that he hadn’t bought.
Li Jiyue said, "I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. We're still short of wine. Let's go buy some. We don't need to go around to the department store. We can go directly to the bus station. It'll be almost time to go back after we finish shopping."
The four of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.
As soon as I came out after buying some wine, I saw Du Juan from the family compound coming over. She looked anxious, as if something big had happened.
She rode her bike too fast when she came here, and was busy looking for someone, so she didn't have time to catch her breath. She was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, "Huff, huff, huff..."
"Yuan, so you're here. I searched the entire street and finally found you."
Fu Chengyu frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with sister-in-law?"
"Don't be anxious. Take a deep breath. Take a breath first. No matter how urgent the matter is, it won't collapse."
"It's true that something big happened. Guifen and Xiujuan asked Hongxiuzi to come to the family compound to wait for you. If you bring too many things back, something might happen. I went to visit Xiaolei and talked to Sister Xiujuan and accidentally let something slip. She asked me to remind you immediately and said she would give me hard work pay, but I didn't want it. I think what Guifen and Xiujuan did was not authentic. After all, we are all military wives."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I don't know what to do. We have a way to deal with it. You've worked hard. Do you want to buy something? Or should we go back directly? Otherwise, we can go back together later?"
Du Juan raised her hand and shook her head, saying, "No, it's a rare visit for me, so I'll just buy some things. We don't have to go back together. You guys should quickly think of a way to give others a handle on you."
"We all know it. Thank you for reminding me, sister-in-law. I'll treat you to a meal later."
"No, no, it's just a piece of cake."
Hu Guifen and Zhu Xiujuan often spread the word in the compound that having any relationship with a capitalist's daughter would lead to death.
It seems that if you say something to a capitalist, you will be treated as a capitalist. It is very serious. If you are told that too often, you will be affected to some extent.
In particular, they deliberately mentioned Du Juan and Jiang Xiu'e to other sisters-in-law.
Du Juan agreed to help because she was good friends with Jiang Xiu'e. She had seen people fighting landlords in the village before, and she was worried that getting involved with capitalists would bring trouble to her family.
If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret.
But she didn't want to make enemies. Li Jiyue and Yu Tingwan's men were regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and her man was the deputy battalion commander. They were from the same regiment, and making enemies would affect her man's future.
…
Family compound.
After Xiaoxuan finished his homework, he and Xiaoyao took the Husky out to poop, and after that they planned to take him for a walk downstairs.
Xiaoqiang also brought a group of friends to play marbles.
Several girls were playing skipping rope.
When the children saw the brother and sister holding the majestic German Shepherd dog, their eyes were drawn to them and they stopped playing for a while.
"Wow, what a cool dog! He even wags his tail and grins at us like he understands what we're saying."
"Xiaoxuan, can you let us hold the dog?"
Xiaoxuan was silent for a while, looking at the other party's eager and excited eyes, and rejected him reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Erha is not my dog. I can't make the decision."
Xiaoyao also said, "Yes, haha, it's not ours, it belongs to Aunt Xiaoyue's. You don't need to sign, you can still look at it. It's very funny, wagging its tail to say hello to you."
The friends exclaimed, "Then it was just saying hello to us! Oh my god, it's amazing! I wish we had a dog like this at home."
Xiaoyao raised her hand and waved it in front of Erha a few times, "Come on, Haha, say hello to everyone again."
The Husky squatted on the ground, raised its right front paw and shook it a few times, imitating the way humans greeted each other.
This caused exclamations from the friends.
"It, it can actually understand human language. It's smarter than my stupid three-year-old brother."
The speaker is Erya from Zhu Xiujuan's family, who is eight years old. The person she hates most is her younger brother because her mother favors him.
The girl next to her nudged her with her elbow and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense about your brother. If mom hears you, you'll get beaten again."
"I know, Mom is not here, so she has no time to take care of us."
Erya has been disobedient since she was a child and has been beaten since she grew up. Her body is covered with wounds from being hit by clothes hangers. She is not afraid of being beaten and would rather be beaten to death. Anyway, there is no hope for her living in such a family that extremely favors boys over girls.
Xiaoqiang is jealous that they have a dog while he can't have one. He likes dogs, but he doesn't like Erha because his mother Guifen brainwashes him all day long, saying that the dead dog indirectly caused his father to be put in solitary confinement for self-reflection and he won't be able to come out until a week later.
