Chapter 119 Sympathy
Wen Kexin shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, you are busy. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative first."
"Okay, go straight along the road after you leave the family quarters. After about 200 meters, when you see the main road, turn left and walk about 10 meters, you will see the sign of the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wen Kexin said gratefully and walked forward alone.
After walking for a while, we easily found the supply and marketing cooperative.
When I walked in, I really didn't see any fresh vegetables. There was only a pile of dry potatoes and a few wilted bundles of Chinese cabbage.
There was a counter next to it that looked like a butcher's counter, but it was cleaned spotlessly and I didn't know how long it had been unused.
There were only a few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, buying daily necessities on the other side.
Logically speaking, the vegetables from the vegetable garden should have been harvested by this time of year, and the logistics department had even gone to the city to purchase a lot of fresh vegetables that day. So why was the supply and marketing cooperative so depressed?
"Comrade, chicken, fish, meat and eggs should be sold here, right? Why is there nothing here?"
A young female salesperson who was looking in the mirror looked disdainful and said impatiently, "We are just a consignment point. If you want to buy chicken, fish, meat, and eggs, go to the city. You seem to be a military family member, but you don't know this. Are you new here?"
Although Wen Kexin knew that waiters these days looked up, she didn't expect the other party's words to be so offensive.
She turned away angrily, secretly deciding not to come again no matter what.
I thought with regret that I forgot to ask Mrs. Lin how to get to the village where I could buy vegetables.
That’s right! You can ask the gate attendant.
Family members often go out to buy groceries, so they must know about it.
Thinking of this, she walked to the gate and politely asked the young soldier on guard, "Young man, I am a new family member. I would like to ask how to get to the village where I can buy vegetables?"
"Sister-in-law, you are Captain Song's lover, right? I saw you yesterday. Captain Song always has a stern face, but when he walks with you, his face looks particularly amiable. By the way, if you ask about the village where we buy vegetables, turn left after you go out of the gate and you can see it here, it's the village in front." The soldier on guard pointed it out to her enthusiastically.
Wen Kexin complained in her heart. She thought women had a special liking for gossip, but it turned out that young men also liked it. She loved to hear such gossip.
"Thank you, little brother!"
She walked towards the village in a very good mood.
When we were almost at the village, we saw Chen Juan and Zhao Meihua, who had taken the truck to the city to go shopping that day.
I saw the two of them walking out of the village carrying baskets filled with vegetables.
It can be seen that the dishes are very fresh, including cucumbers, persimmons, beans and eggplants.
In their other hands, the two men were holding two old hens with their legs tied.
When they saw Wen Kexin, they were immediately happy, put down their things and said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, you are here to buy vegetables too, right?"
Feeling a sense of mutual sympathy, Wen Kexin smiled and said, "I have some vegetables at home today, so I just came to take a look. Do you want to keep the old hens or kill them for meat?"
Chen Juan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, an old hen costs five yuan. Who would be willing to kill it for meat during festivals? I just want to raise it to lay eggs for my husband and children."
Wen Kexin felt deeply moved, thinking that these two people were thrifty and managed their household well, and it would be great if all their families were like them.
She said in a flattering tone, "You are really thoughtful. It's a pity that I can't stay here for a few days, otherwise I would raise two hens."
"I heard that my sister-in-law knows how to live. If you come to buy vegetables tomorrow, go to Aunt Zhou's house at the east end of the village. Her vegetables grow well. We always buy vegetables from her house."
Wen Kexin just wanted to come and see what vegetables were available, and since she had already seen them, there was no need for her to go into the village.
"Okay, I've got it. I won't go to the village, and I'll go back with you. Come back this afternoon or tomorrow, and I'll help you carry your things."
"How embarrassing."
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
In this way, Wen Kexin helped the two of them carry the vegetable baskets, and they immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
On the way back, several people were walking and chatting. Chen Juan suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Sister-in-law, have you heard about Leader Wang?"
Wen Kexin nodded and whispered, "I heard about it, but I don't know what happened. By the way, the night we came back from the city, Leader Wang came over and told us not to tell anyone about what happened on the road. He also said that he beat the child to teach the mother a lesson. Did he go to your house?"
Chen Juan curled her lips, glanced around and whispered, "He didn't come to us, he came to our two men. The head of the family came back and repeatedly told us that we didn't want to cause trouble, so we didn't tell anyone."
Wen Kexin didn’t understand what was going on with the other person’s expression?
Zhao Meihua said frankly: "It's always like this. If a child gets into trouble, they'll get beaten or put in solitary confinement. It's just a new soup but the medicine remains the same."
Wen Kexin was shocked: it turned out that such things were commonplace in the Wang family.
It doesn't look like the two of them are quick-talkers.
Could it be that the driver said something that caused Leader Wang to suffer the consequences?
Don't worry about other people's affairs.
I feel unhappy when I think about the fact that I lost dozens of yuan.
I really wanted to express my dissatisfaction to the two of them, but when I thought of Leader Wang's military medals, the words that were about to come to my mind were immediately suppressed.
"By the way, why didn't you bring the children?"
"I've sent them to kindergarten, so it's inconvenient to take them shopping for groceries."
"Too!"
When she got home, she locked the door, entered the space, and picked some vegetables of various kinds and took them out.
Just now, she was carrying a basket of vegetables as she walked in through the gate and met quite a few people in the family area.
Besides, she had told Chen Juan and others that they would go shopping for vegetables in the afternoon or tomorrow, and no one would think much of the vegetables appearing at home.
I had a simple meal at noon, then entered the space to pick ripe vegetables and dates and put them away.
I came to the stream and took a look. The fish and shrimps I threw in at home were clearly visible, and they seemed to have grown a lot bigger.
When they were released into the water, there were fish of all sizes. The fish were not noticeable, but the shrimps were obviously much larger.
What should I do if I really want to eat?
I made a simple scoop net with gauze, scooped up a dozen fish, washed them, put them in the pot to cook and tasted them. They tasted especially delicious.
It is worthy of being produced by Space, the taste is super good.
Unfortunately, I can’t take it out and give it to Song Mo to eat.
Because there are no shrimps in the rivers here.
I quickly thought of catching them, cooking them, and drying them, so I said I had brought a bag of dried shrimps and forgot about it by putting it in the compartment of my bag.
Thinking of this, she immediately became energetic and started to get busy.
Two hours passed, and seeing that it was getting late, he carried a large basket of vegetables and left the space.
I steamed a pot of noodles and put not only eggs but also two cups of milk into the steamed cake. The fragrance immediately wafted out after it was steamed.
I also made chicken nuggets with sauce and a cucumber salad.
The meal was ready, but Song Mo had not come back yet, so he had to turn off the fire and go to the small living room to sit at the table and wait.
I became impatient to wait and walked out of the gate to look into the distance.
I could feel dusk gradually enveloping me, and my vision was becoming increasingly dim.
Suddenly, I heard the door opposite open, and saw Mrs. Lin also open the door and look into the distance.
"Sister-in-law, your elder brother Lin hasn't come back yet?"
Mrs. Lin grabbed her apron and wiped her hands, saying, "That's right. When she left this morning, she said she had something to do at noon and would be back for dinner in the evening. How come she hasn't come back yet?"
Seeing Mrs. Lin's expectant eyes, a feeling of sympathy came over me.
The family members are worried about their husbands every day.
I remember that song was sung very well: The medal of military honor is half yours and half mine.
