So, the two of them started a heated bargaining battle over the price.
But what's funny is that other people bargain to make more money and spend less, but the two of them do the exact opposite.
They are all afraid that the other party will suffer a loss.
Finally, the two finally reached an agreement on the price. Jianshu paid Wu Xiufang two yuan and fifty cents every month as a purchase fee for vegetables, fruits and melons. During the payment period, Jianshu was allowed to pick vegetables from Wu Xiufang's vegetable garden at will.
However, since buying and selling is not allowed nowadays, they finally decided to exchange items of equal value. This way, they wouldn't be afraid of being discovered and used to make trouble.
It just so happened that Jianshu had purchased a lot of items in Beijing before coming here. Plus, she originally worked in a department store, so she had a lot of things on hand, including fabrics, wool, soap, towels, pillowcases...
Wu Xiufang couldn't make a decision for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jianshu made an appointment with her to trade, then picked up his farm tools and went home.
Not long after arriving home, Jianshu had just stewed the pig's trotters when Gu Mingjing came back with a large group of people.
"Deputy Captain, where should we put this jar?"
"And where will all this coal be moved to?"
"Brother Gu, where is our sister-in-law?"
“…”
The front yard instantly became a mess. It is said that three women are like five hundred ducks. In Jianshu's opinion, men are no less so.
After washing her hands, she walked out of the room and happened to meet Gu Mingjing who came in looking for her.
"Shushu, you came at the right time. Where should we put the things we bought today?"
Jianshu thought for a moment and said, "Let's move the vats and jars into the house, and the coal to the backyard. Put them in a row against the corner, next to the firewood."
"Okay." Gu Mingjing responded.
"I'll go say hello to everyone." After saying that, he walked out of the house.
In the front yard, everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the house. When they heard someone was about to come out, they all cheered up and showed their best side to leave a good impression on their sister-in-law.
As the footsteps got closer, a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone.
She has a slim figure and good temperament. Under her curved eyebrows are a pair of lively phoenix eyes. When she raises her eyes, her eyes are bright and lively.
With a faint smile on his lips, wherever his eyes looked, everyone present blushed immediately and looked away embarrassedly.
Oh my god, my sister-in-law is so beautiful! It’s true that seeing is believing. The leader is so lucky!
There were always few women in the army, and even fewer like Jian Shu. So, as was rare, most of the originally cheerful people became "shy".
Jian Shu, on the other hand, greeted everyone with grace and grace, "Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work today."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. This is easy work. Sister-in-law, you can take a rest. If you need anything else, just tell me. Let these brats do more work, so that they won't cause trouble all day long with their high energy."
The person who answered was a gentle and handsome young man with a pair of glasses on his gentle face. His temperament was completely different from those around him. He didn't look like a soldier, but more like a scholar.
"No way, don't say bad things about us in front of my sister-in-law!"
"That's right! You're groping in the dark!"
"Deputy Captain, take care of him!"
Everyone present cried out in injustice.
Han Jingshan glanced at the crowd with a half-smile, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
This deterrent power is extraordinary.
Jianshu stood aside and watched the show with great interest.
The drama of struggling to resist but ultimately being suppressed is something you never get tired of watching.
After some laughter and fun, Gu Mingjing introduced himself to the people present.
Everyone present today was from Gu Mingjing's group, the ones closest to him. Among them, the one with whom he had spoken most closely was Han Jingshan, whom he had spoken to earlier. The two were partners, working in perfect harmony, and their personal friendship was also quite good; they were considered close buddies.
The others were basically the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the various battalions. They interacted frequently and had a very close relationship. They often spoke freely without too many taboos.
Most of them are still single, and few are married, but this is normal.
Some of them are a few years older than Gu Mingjing, and some are about the same age as him. In this era, they are all older single men.
So at this moment, while working, everyone was trying to show their courtesy to Jianshu, asking her indirectly if she had any unmarried sisters or friends at home. It was okay if she didn't have any sisters or friends, as it would be better to keep the money within the family. If there was a suitable candidate, they would choose one from their own family.
After understanding what they meant, Jianshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
These guys, every one of them is considered young and promising, right? If they really want to find a wife, there are a lot of girls chasing after them. It's not like they act like they can't find a wife.
She replied in the same way, but the other person had something to say again.
They were unsure about the ones introduced by outsiders. Who knew if there would be any shortcomings? Marrying a bad wife would bring disaster to three generations, so they had to be cautious.
My sister-in-law is different. We are all family, so she definitely won’t harm them.
Jianshu was extremely helpless after hearing all the nice words, and finally had to promise them that he would help keep an eye out, and if there really was a suitable candidate, he would definitely give priority to his own people.
There is no other way. Since she is a sister-in-law, she still has to take responsibility. These days, many people are brought together in this way.
However, this kind of thing must be done with caution. After all, people trust you, and you can't push them into the fire pit. So Jianshu did not take on the responsibility directly, but took precautions in advance.
But even so, everyone present was satisfied.
After all, no one can guarantee such a thing. If that were the case, then one would really doubt its reliability.
Gu Mingjing, who was standing aside, looked at his group of comrades with a look of disdain that never ceased.
If it weren't for the fact that they were brothers, he would have thrown them all out and made them revolve around his wife.
That's his wife!
