Chapter 113: She might not be Shen Yuanjun’s sister?
Not far from the navy base, there is a spontaneously formed small market where most of the vendors are nearby fishermen, hawking home-grown vegetables and fresh produce from the sea.
Military wives would come from time to time to pick up bargains, but not many people came. Most of them still followed the bus that the troops took every three days to go to the city to buy things.
Fan Lijuan has been in the army for some time. She met many people who greeted her along the way. She kept a smile on her face and quickened her pace.
When Fan Lijuan arrived at the small market, there were only a few stalls left, and most of the villagers operating the stalls were packing up their things, as it was almost dark.
Fan Lijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a familiar figure.
"My friend, how much are these fish? I see you are about to close your stall. Give me a discount. I want them all."
The old woman who was packing up her things paused for a moment, but soon recovered and turned around with a smile on her face, saying enthusiastically, "Girl, you finally asked the right person. My fish is the freshest! If you want all of it, it's 40 cents per pound."
Several other fishermen who were about to pack up and leave started to try to attract business when they heard this.
"Girl, I have some kelp here, do you want it?"
"I have fish here, too. They're only 30 cents a pound. Girl, come and have a look!"
"Yeah, yeah, I have some good stuff here too."
The old woman's expression suddenly changed. She put her hands on her hips and cursed, "You little bastards, you dare to steal my business? Believe it or not, I will overturn your stall!"
Fan Lijuan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, we have guests at home, and I'm waiting for this cod to entertain them."
The snapper is a type of sea bream, which comes in two types: red and black. The red snapper is often the first choice for banquets and entertaining guests by people living by the sea because of its festive color. There are several red snappers in the wooden basin in front of the old woman.
Seeing that there was no hope, the other villagers quickened their pace to pack up, and soon they had almost all left.
Fan Lijuan squatted in front of the wooden basin, picking something as if she was bargaining.
The old woman still had a smile on her face, but her low voice contained a hint of questioning, "Why are you back? Didn't you take over today? Have you forgotten the organization's rules?"
Fan Lijuan kept the posture of picking fish and whispered, "I didn't forget, but why did Shen Yuanjun's sister come? Didn't you say that you had cut off his communication with his family?"
"He finally agreed to submit a marriage application tomorrow, but now I'm afraid something is going to go wrong!"
Fan Lijuan was very upset from the very beginning. Something that was apparently going smoothly went wrong at the last minute.
This prospective sister-in-law who came to visit doesn't seem to be someone who can be easily dealt with. I wonder if she will ruin their next plan.
"What? That's impossible! We clearly cut off all communications." The old woman's voice was tinged with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. "No matter what happens, you must quickly marry Shen Yuanjun. Only by staying in the army can you have a chance to get news of their actions later."
"I hope you can move faster, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences." The old woman's tone was gloomy and threatening.
"I see." Fan Lijuan frowned irritably, "I need detailed information about Shen Yuanjun's sister, preferably with a photo."
"Okay, she's just a girl. If she's going to do something bad, just deal with it directly." There was a hint of viciousness in the old woman's eyes.
"It's not difficult to deal with a little girl. The main reason is that the timing of her coming is too coincidental. I'm afraid our plan has been exposed." Fan Lijuan frowned. She didn't know why she always had a bad premonition when she saw Shen Anan today.
"You mean, she may not be Shen Yuanjun's sister?" The old woman pondered for a moment and became cautious. This plan was of great importance and they should be careful.
"I'm just guessing. You still need to check for specific information."
"Got it, I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Fan Lijuan took the fish handed over by the old woman, took out the money and handed it over, then turned and walked towards the family area, feeling worried all the way.
Shen Anan didn't know that her sudden arrival made Fan Lijuan think so much that she actually began to doubt her identity. She was at home sorting out the things she brought from home with Shen Yuanjun.
When Fan Lijuan came in, the table was already filled with various things.
Shen Anan was taking out the cotton-padded jacket made by Wang Sufen and trying it on Shen Yuanjun. "Hey, this is what your mother made for you this New Year. I didn't expect it to be so hot here in South Island. It seems you can't wear it."
Before Shen Anan finished speaking, she felt her hand lighten. She saw Shen Yuanjun couldn't wait to put the cotton jacket on over his military uniform, and touched it again and again with his hands.
"It's wearable, it's wearable, it fits me perfectly." Shen Yuanjun's eyes were a little red, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.
Shen Anan looked at the sweat on Shen Yuanjun's forehead, opened her mouth, but still said nothing.
Alas, her third brother has suffered a lot over the years. How could a wandering man not miss home?
It was rare for her third brother to show his emotions. Since he wanted to wear it, let him wear it for a while, hoping that he would not get heatstroke.
However, the color difference between the tanned face and the white teeth is very obvious.
During dinner, Shen Yuanjun was still wearing the cotton jacket. It was only after Shen Anan persuaded him for a long time that he was willing to take it off.
Shen Anan took the opportunity to speak, "Third brother, you see mother has always been thinking about you. If she knew you were getting married and didn't tell her, how sad she and dad would be!"
Shen Yuanjun put down his chopsticks and looked at Fan Lijuan apologetically. "Lijuan, An An is right. I still have to tell my family about the marriage."
"Don't worry, I'll go to the post office tomorrow to send a telegram, and I'm sure there will be a reply soon."
Fan Lijuan smiled gently, "As it should be, you are the boss, I will listen to you."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Fan Lijuan still felt a sinking feeling in her heart. As expected, something unexpected had happened.
Shen Anan looked around and felt like an evil mother-in-law who was forcibly breaking up a couple.
No, judging by her third brother's behavior, they can't be considered a couple.
However, Shen Yuanjun has a strong sense of responsibility. If Fan Lijuan has no problem in the end, her third brother will definitely insist on marrying her. At that time, she will definitely choose a good wedding gift for the two of them as compensation.
In fact, there were too many unusual things this time, coupled with the ending of her third brother in her previous life, so she had to be cautious.
Not long after the meal, Shen Yuanjun left. He still lives in the dormitory. Before leaving, he asked Fan Lijuan to take Shen Anan around during the day tomorrow, and wait for him to take Shen Anan to the sea tomorrow afternoon.
Because of the tiring journey, Shen Anan, who had a sore back, went to bed shortly after dinner and had a good night's sleep.
