The new house is located at the innermost end of the family compound, in a remote location, while the supply and marketing cooperative is on the other side of the family compound, quite far away.
Jianshu and Gu Mingjing walked for a long time and passed through most of the family compound. They met many people on the way. Seeing the unfamiliar faces, they all looked at them curiously.
Someone they knew came over to greet them, "Captain Gu, this is your wife, right? She's so pretty!"
Gu Mingjing nodded towards the visitor, "Hello, sister-in-law, this is my wife, Jianshu."
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Jianshu also greeted with a smile.
"Hey, hello! We heard some time ago that you were getting married, and were wondering when you would come over. We didn't expect to see you today. Come and visit us when you have time in the future." The man looked Jianshu up and down, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Captain Gu’s wife is so beautiful!
Jian Shu smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll definitely come when I have time."
After a brief chat, knowing that they both had things to do, they said nothing more and parted ways after saying goodbye.
But it wasn't long before the two ran into an acquaintance again.
As the central figure in the family compound some time ago, everyone is still very curious about Jianshu. Now that they see him in person at noon, shouldn’t they take a closer look at him?
Anyone who can talk to Gu Mingjing will basically come up to say hello and chat for a few minutes.
In this way, the two of them walked and stopped, and by the time they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, almost an hour had passed.
On the other hand, rumors about Jianshu were flying everywhere, and the topic that had been a little quiet became hot again.
She once again became the center of discussion in the family compound. If there were a trending search, she would definitely be in the top ten.
However, Jianshu is not aware of these for the time being, and even if it knew, it would not care too much.
At this moment, she looked at the row of bungalows in front of her with some surprise.
"Is this the supply and marketing cooperative?" He turned to look at Gu Mingjing beside him and asked for confirmation.
The supply and marketing cooperative in front of her was spacious and bright, but to be honest, it was quite different from what she had originally imagined.
Gu Mingjing nodded, "Yes, grains, oils, side dishes, daily necessities, etc., everything you need is here."
When the two stepped into the supply and marketing cooperative, what caught their eyes was a long row of counters. Behind the counters were a complete supply of various supplies, including pots and pans, grains, oils, sauces, vinegars, and daily necessities. Basically, everything a household needs for daily life was available here.
It must be said that Jianshu was quite pleasantly surprised. This condition was much better than she had initially imagined.
"Nowadays, there are more and more family members accompanying the army. The leaders feel that since the family members have left their hometowns and families to follow the army, they cannot let them be unable to guarantee their daily needs. Therefore, they have specially expanded the scale of the supply and marketing cooperatives to facilitate their daily lives." Gu Mingjing explained softly in her ear.
That is why he chose to let Jianshu join the army.
Conditions had improved significantly over the past two years, and everything had become much more convenient. If it had been as difficult as the previous two years, he wouldn't have let her join the army even if he was reluctant to part.
Jianshu smiled and praised, "That's great."
I truly care about everyone and help them solve their problems.
"Yes!" Gu Mingjing agreed.
After chatting, Jianshu started shopping.
The family already had pots, pans, and utensils, so there was no need to buy more. Gu Mingjing had also prepared most of the kettle, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap in advance.
The most important things you need to buy are some grains, vegetables, meat and seasonings.
So Jianshu took Gu Mingjing straight to the food area, bought all the food supplies for this month, picked out some fresh vegetables, and then bought seasonings and dry goods, one by one along the counter shelves.
When they arrived at the meat shop, they were late. The meat was almost sold out, and only some boneless pig's trotters were left. The portion was not big, so Jianshu simply bought it all.
Others don't like these things, but she likes them very much. I happen to have some soybeans at home, so I will make some soybean stewed pig's trotters later. I will stew them in the pot for an hour or two. It is soft and boneless, melts in the mouth, and is full of collagen. It tastes great.
Just thinking about it, Jianshu couldn't help swallowing and quickly sped up the purchasing process.
Compare the items on the shelves to see if there is anything missing that you don’t have at home and can use, and buy them all.
This large purchase attracted the attention of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, but when they learned that they had just moved in, they all gave them understanding smiles.
So you're new here? That's normal!
Finally, Jianshu picked out a few more snacks and finished his shopping trip.
After the salesperson counted the money, the total cost was twenty-five yuan, seventy-six cents. Jianshu couldn't help but sigh that money nowadays is really valuable.
Before she could pay the bill, Gu Mingjing took out three Great Unity banknotes and various tickets from his pocket.
Seeing this scene, Jianshu paused as he was about to take out the money and looked at him with some confusion.
Where does this man get the money?
However, the occasion was not suitable at the moment, so he hid all his doubts deep in his heart and did not ask any more questions.
"Is there anything else you want to buy? I've bought everything today, I'll take it all back." Gu Mingjing looked at Jian Shu and asked.
He has to return to the team tomorrow, so he has to buy everything he needs for the house today.
Jian Shu shook his head with a normal expression, "No, I've almost bought everything I need. I'll buy the rest when I need it."
The salespeople at the counter couldn't help but feel envious when they heard this. How could other men be so generous to their wives? Their own wives always felt that they were wasting money, not to mention helping carry things.
After paying, Gu Mingjing picked up the pile of things he bought and handed the lighter ones to Jianshu when she reached out her hand without saying any more nonsense to refuse.
They had already gotten up late in the morning and met a lot of people on the way to chat. By the time they got home after shopping, it was almost time for dinner.
There was no time to make the braised pork trotters with soybeans that I was so craving for at noon.
Gu Mingjing suggested going to the cafeteria to eat, "Let's stew the pig's trotters in the evening, and then we'll go to the cafeteria to eat."
Jian Shu thought about it and didn't feel like cooking at the moment, so he agreed, "Okay, it's just right for me to try the food in your cafeteria."
"The food in our cafeteria tastes pretty good. We have several specialties. You can try them if you come across them." Gu Mingjing rubbed her head.
Jianshu broke free and said, "Just talk, don't touch me." She had just washed her hair, so don't put oil on her hair.
The two of them played and joked for a while, and when it was almost time, they took their lunch boxes and walked towards the cafeteria.
