Aunt Wu leaned against the window at the back, looking at Mrs. Jiang's face and laughing: "Haha, look at Mrs. Jiang's face, it's so ugly."

"Come on, you are old, don't embarrass yourself in front of the younger generation." Aunt Zhao reached out and pulled Mrs. Wu's clothes to stop her.

Section 12

"Yes, we can't lose face in front of Captain Gu." Aunt Wu held back her laughter and looked at Gu Mingze who was driving and asked, "Captain Gu, what are you planning to buy this time?"

"I'm thinking of buying some things that can be stored, and a few water tanks to store water in the house." Gu Mingze smiled and said

"Yes, if it rains heavily, there is a possibility that the water supply will be cut off. Then my family should buy one too." Aunt Wu nodded and said

"Yes, my family will also buy a water tank and a small tank. If we buy too much, there will be no place to put it." Aunt Zhao was also afraid that she would have no water to drink, so she followed suit.

"Auntie, let's go to the department store first and buy some storable items and water tanks, and then go buy food." Gu Mingze said as he sped up the car to the city and got off at the department store.

"Two pounds of glutinous rice noodles, two boxes of biscuits, two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy, two pounds of fruit candy, and the last bucket of malted milk? Take it." Gu Mingze said as he looked at the things behind the counter.

Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhao were shocked when they saw his appearance, but then they came to their senses and went to buy what they needed.

"Four water tanks, three jars, a kerosene lamp, a pound of kerosene, five boxes of matches, two enamel basins, a thermos, a pot, and do you have honeycomb coal?" Gu Mingze finished buying the things in a row.

He went to the next door and spent a huge amount of money to buy two quilts. He then took the watch ticket that he had secretly exchanged and went upstairs to buy a small watch for more than 280 yuan. He put it in his arms as if it was a treasure, waiting to go back and give his wife a surprise.

"Captain Gu, I asked, and they can help deliver the things we bought to the entrance of the military district. We can pick them up when the time comes." Aunt Wu watched Gu Mingze go downstairs and walked up to him and said.

"That's great. I'll put the odds and ends in the car, and ask them to deliver the things that are afraid of breaking." Gu Mingze put the odds and ends in the car, left his address, and drove to the grocery store. He bought a bunch of bacon and sausages, and only stopped when he had used up all his meat coupons. He was still not satisfied.

"Captain Gu is really extravagant when it comes to spending money. He buys so many things and spends so much money. Doesn't he plan to live a good life in the future?" Aunt Wu looked at the pile of things in Gu Mingze's hands and whispered to Aunt Zhao.

"That's fine. Captain Gu bought things that can be stored. Besides, there are only two of them and they can't eat so much. We can save it and eat it slowly." Aunt Zhao smiled and also went forward to buy a lot of bacon and sausage.

When her son heard her say she was coming to buy food yesterday, he gave her a lot of money and her daughter-in-law asked her to buy more, so she bought all of it. At worst, she could save it for later. Anyway, she wouldn't exchange it.

"Then I'll buy some too." Aunt Wu looked at the two people who had bought a lot, and reluctantly took out her money to buy two pounds of bacon. Then, with a look of heartache, she put the remaining money into her pocket and got on the bus with the bacon.

Seeing her like this, Gu Mingze shook his head, put his things on the seat, and drove to the surrounding villages to search for

In the end, I spent five cents more to buy 400 kilograms of grain, a bunch of dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, and two large bundles of vermicelli. Unfortunately, I didn't buy the chicken that I promised my wife.

Aunt Wu bought 100 kilograms of coarse grains, but she was reluctant to sell them anymore, thinking that even if there was a heavy rain, there were still troops, and she couldn't just watch them starve to death.

Aunt Zhao, like Gu Mingze, bought 400 kilograms of coarse grains.

Several people agreed with the villagers to deliver the goods to the military area in the evening and drove back to the army.
