She... is already married?
This answer surprised her, but it also seemed... reasonable.
She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, Fu Zhewei had indeed never married.
He later became a powerful figure, and it was inevitable that he would be surrounded by beautiful women, but he remained alone. His only close relative seemed to be his adopted son, who later inherited his vast family fortune.
Lin Jianxue once thought that perhaps he had experienced setbacks in his early life and was later busy with his career, which delayed his lifelong happiness.
Now I want to come...
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't want to get married, but that there was already someone living in his heart.
A woman he likes but is already married to someone else.
Is that why he never married?
Is it for that impossible woman, the one he has been waiting for his entire life...a "widow"?
This heart... this deep affection...
For a moment, she didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings.
Do you admire his persistence, or do you feel sorry for his inability to achieve what he wants?
It's neither of those things, and it's a little bit of both.
Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in her heart, sour and astringent... very complicated, blocking her throat, making her lose interest in speaking for a moment.
Fu Zhewei seemed to notice the silence behind him. He tilted his head slightly and caught a glimpse of her with her head down in silence. There was no expression on her fair little face, but her eyes were a little empty, and I don't know what she was thinking.
He moved his Adam's apple almost imperceptibly, and finally silently averted his gaze, looking back at the queue in front of him that seemed to have no end, and continued to queue quietly.
After waiting in line for nearly an hour, their patience was almost exhausted, and the two finally followed the crowd and squeezed into the open door of the supply and marketing department.
The town's supply and marketing center was indeed much larger and more impressive than the small sales outlet in the Shuguang Production Brigade. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of goods. Although many items still required tickets, the variety was indeed complete.
Lin Jianxue calmed down, temporarily put the previous episode behind her, and began to focus on what was happening in front of her.
She had a clear goal and went to the counter selling labor protection supplies first.
"Comrade, please get me five pairs of the strongest and most wear-resistant work gloves." When working in the fields, gloves are consumables, so you need to prepare a few more pairs of replacements.
The saleswoman was a middle-aged woman with a neutral attitude but quick movements. She quickly found five pairs of knitted gloves with padded palms and threw them on the counter.
Then, Lin Jianxue went to the grain and oil area.
"Five catties of flour and five catties of refined rice."
"One pound of rice vinegar and one pound of soy sauce."
"I need five more pounds of soybean oil."
Finally, she pointed to two kinds of pastries in a glass case over at the candy counter and said to the young saleswoman in a blue work uniform, who was cracking sunflower seeds, "Comrade, I want two more pounds of crispy candies and three pounds of walnut pastries."
The young saleswoman put down the melon seeds, impatiently picked up her notebook and pen, then picked up the abacus beside her and began to count, announcing: "Flour is 5.5 yuan per catty, 5 catties is 2.75 yuan; refined rice is 3.0 yuan per catty, 5 catties is 1 yuan; rice vinegar is 1.8 yuan, soy sauce is 2.5 yuan; soybean oil is 8.5 yuan per catty, 5 catties is 4 yuan 2.5 yuan; crisp candy is 1 yuan, 2 catties is 2.4 yuan; walnut crisps are 1.5 yuan, 3 catties is 4 yuan 5..."
She quickly quoted the price, adding the required number of food coupons, oil coupons, sugar coupons, and other coupons. Finally, she wrote down the total in a small notebook and handed it to Lin Jianxue: "A total of fifteen yuan, seventy-five cents, plus eight catties of national food coupons, two catties of local food coupons, five catties of oil coupons, and one catty of sugar coupons..."
