When Yingfang went downstairs, she happened to meet Feng Meijuan leading her daughter out, and the girl was carrying a crossbody schoolbag with rags spliced and a red five-pointed star embroidered in the center, obviously going to school.

"Xiao Shu is going to buy groceries? After I send my daughter, I also have to go to the vegetable market. Feng Meijuan pulled her daughter, "Call Aunt Shu." ”

"Aunt Shu. ”

"That's good. Yingfang bent down and touched the girl's head, and asked with a smile, "What's your name and how old are you this year?"

"Tell Auntie. Feng Meijuan urged on the side.

The girl was a little timid, glanced at Yingfang, lowered her head again, and said timidly: "My name is Li Tiantian, and I am eight years old this year." ”

"Are you eight years old? Are you in elementary school?" Ying Fang said with a smile, and the last question was asked by Feng Meijuan.

"Yes, I went to school in September last year, and after reading it for half a year, I only knew a few big characters, and my brain didn't know how to grow, a soldier from the battalion commander's family, who was also eight years old this year, heard that he could memorize several poems. Feng Meijuan hated the iron and twisted the child's arm. The little girl cowered and ducked.

"Take your time, there's no rush in this matter. Yingfang suddenly felt that Feng Meijuan didn't seem to be as enthusiastic and generous as she appeared. Otherwise, I wouldn't have raised my daughter so timid and cowardly.

It seems that the team of military wives is really more complicated as Xiang Gang said.

Perhaps it is the competition between men that affects the friendship between women. Everyone wore more or less masks on their faces.

"What does Xiao Shu think?" Feng Meijuan dragged her daughter to walk unfast, and raised her voice to shout to Yingfang, who was walking in front.

Ying Fang gathered her thoughts, turned around and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I see my sister-in-law's daughter, and I'm a little envious." ”

"What is there to envy about this, and it is not a son. Feng Meijuan blurted out, not noticing that her daughter's little face turned a little whiter.

Ying Fang sighed in her heart and said: "Actually, there is no difference between male and female babies, they are all meat that falls from the mother's body." ”

"That being said, after all, it is enough to give birth to a male baby, after all, it is men who rely on the inheritance of the ancestry. Feng Meijuan's words were conclusive.

Yingfang suddenly lost interest in talking to her.

Feng Meijuan's expression at this moment is the same as that of the aunt and grandmother in the previous life, and Mrs. Shu in this life. All belong to the patriarchal category.

She was disgusted in her heart.

So when she arrived at the school gate, Feng Meijuan met her daughter's homeroom teacher, and couldn't help but say a few more words, and Yingfang excused herself to leave first.

The state-run vegetable market in Xiashan Town is not large, and it only opens a morning market.

When Yingfang went at about seven o'clock, the vegetable market was crowded, and there were long queues in several places.

Yingfang squeezed around with the flow of people, and was finally squeezed into a meat stall.

Yingfang touched her pocket, there was a lack of meat tickets.

"I don't have a meat ticket to buy bones, I don't need a ticket for bones, two cents and eight pounds. Said the salesperson in a blue coat and a mask.

Ying Fang thought about it, and immediately decided: "Give me two big barrels." ”

"There is a limit of one bone per person. ”

"That's one. ”

The salesman weighed and Yingfang paid for it. Then one hand pays, the other hand delivers, and there is a big bone in the basket.

As soon as I squeezed out of the meat stall, I ran into Feng Meijuan.

"Ah, Xiaoshu, you have already bought it, and I have a tube bone today, so I'll weigh one too." ”

I didn't buy it. Things that don't need tickets can always be sold out of stock.

Ying Fang saw that Feng Meijuan's face was not very good, so she lowered her eyelids and didn't say anything. I went to the tofu stall along the flow of people, but there were still two tofu tickets, and after thinking about it, I took them to weigh the tofu and gave Feng Meijuan a piece: "Give it to Tiantian." ”

Feng Meijuan opened her mouth and wanted to say no, but thinking about the fact that the family had been eating cabbage for the past few days, she still accepted it: "Then I thank Aunt Shu for Tiantian." ”

Ying Fang smiled lightly and waved her hand.

I saw the fish stall, there were a lot of fish, but it was a pity to ask for a ticket.

You can only get past it.

I can't help but think of the pond fish in the mountains of my hometown, and I don't know if there are pools on the nearby mountains and whether there are fish in the pools.

Yingfang's heart fluttered.

Thinking about when to take Xiaojin up the mountain for a walk. There are a lot of wild vegetables in spring, so it's good to dig them up and change the taste.

Next to the vegetable market is the supply and marketing cooperative.

I had no choice but to have a ticket in my pocket, so I didn't go in and transfer.

When I looked up and saw the red flag fluttering in the wind not far away, it was Wanxia Middle School.

Feng Meijuan saw her staring in the direction of the school in a daze, and thought that she didn't know what place it was, so she took the initiative to introduce: "That is the middle school in the town, and now the middle school depends on recommendation, but fortunately, our children are not afraid of not going to school." "The People's Liberation Army is the first of the five categories of red.

Ying Fang was embarrassed, her children were still early from school, and she hadn't graduated yet.

"Huh, are you still studying?" Feng Meijuan was surprised when she learned about it, "You're not from the countryside...... Ahem, I also heard from people that you are a farmer in your hometown, and you have a primary school diploma, but I didn't expect you to still study......"

"If it goes well, I'll come here for high school. Ying Fang said with a smile.

Anyway, as long as the grades are passable, the teacher should let it go. Anyway, it doesn't occupy the recommended quota here.

When Feng Meijuan heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Education has always been something she is most proud of. Her education level is the highest among military wives - she has a junior Chinese certificate and has studied in high school for a year.

If it weren't for her younger siblings scrambling to study, she, as the eldest wouldn't have to drop out of school to support her family, and high Chinese would not have become her permanent regret.

But who would have thought that the new fourth battalion commander's lover, looking at such a young and rural girl from the countryside, was still studying, and she was still in high school.

Is this the rhythm that is going to recommend going to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers?

In this way, do you still have an advantage?

On the way home, Feng Meijuan didn't stop chattering when she came, but walked all the way.

Ying Fang looked at the scenery along the way, and memorized a few main streets and alleys by the way.

For example, when the supply and marketing cooperatives open, where the purchasing station is, the general market situation of state-run hotels and hotels, and the price of grain in the grain station, etc.

At the gate of the family compound, two guards on duty, holding guns in both hands and with a straight posture, saw Yingfang and the two coming back, and saluted them: "Hello sister-in-law!"

"Hello. Ying Fang nodded at them and greeted them with a smile, "Good work." ”

"No hard work, no hard work. The two guards were flattered and had a better attitude towards Yingfang.

Feng Meijuan saw it in her eyes, and she was sour in her heart.

Look, it's only been a day, and I've bought the hearts of the guards, and I'm really good at being a man!

"Sister-in-law, I don't know if the army has any plans for our family compound?" Ying Fang didn't pay attention to Feng Meijuan's wandering eyes, and asked as she looked at the empty patio.

"Planning?" Feng Meijuan came back to her senses, "What planning?"

"It's a patio, you see so much open space, if you can use it, you can grow a lot of things. ”
