"By the way, let's not delay, Sister Li, tell me what you want to buy today, so that I can have a number in my heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "After Sister-in-law Wang talked to Li Mei for a while, she didn't forget the business she came to today. After knowing what she was going to buy today, she knew where to take Li Mei after she had a number in her heart.

"I took some pickles from home, which had to be put in jars, otherwise they would go bad, and if I could, I would like to buy two jars. After getting acquainted with Sister-in-law Wang, Li Mei didn't say anything polite to her, and directly told Sister-in-law Wang what she was going to buy today.

"By the way, there are also utensils in the kitchen, I looked at it, and it seems that there is nothing in the house except for dishes and chopsticks, and these things must be bought. "In the future, their family plans to start a fire, and those utensils in the kitchen are naturally indispensable. "By the way, are we going to buy the food ourselves?" or ......?"

If it is food, which you have to buy by yourself, this grain will naturally be indispensable. As a result, there are so many things to buy that they simply can't get them back.

After hearing what Li Mei said, Sister-in-law Wang nodded clearly. "If you want to buy a jar, I can take you to a nearby village to buy it. There is a kiln in the vicinity that specializes in firing jars. If our military wives go to them to buy it, they will give us a little cheaper. ”

"Won't something happen if you buy and sell things privately?" Li Mei said with some uncertainty.

"You're mistaken. Sister-in-law Wang waved her right hand and said with a smile, "We are not buying and selling privately, these jars burned in their kiln were specially purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative, and we will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy them, so this is not a private sale." ”

After listening to Wang's sister-in-law's explanation, Li Mei was finally relieved.

"Is our army very close to the village?" Li Mei didn't know anything about the troops at all. In her imagination, the army is very important to a country, and what are the military secrets? You should stay away from the crowds. But now that I hear Sister-in-law Wang say this, it seems to be completely different from what she imagined.

"It's not very close, and the closest to us is about half an hour's walk. Sister-in-law Wang smiled. "Wait a minute, I'll take you to the nearest town to our troops to buy something. However, this jar has to pick another time. If you're in a hurry, I can lend you a small jar from my house to use first. ”

"Sister-in-law, it's not too much trouble for you. "If she can, Li Mei naturally hopes that this jar is still her own.

"Don't bother, anyway, my house still has an empty jar and it's useless, anyway, it's put there and there, so what's the matter if you borrow it first." Sister-in-law Wang waved her hand, indicating that it was not troublesome at all.

"Okay, I'll thank my sister-in-law first. Sister-in-law Wang said so, and Li Mei didn't insist too much on buying jars. This matter of buying an altar, it seems that Zhao Yuanchao will have to wait for him to take her to buy it when he is free.

After that, Li Mei went out with Wang Yan's sister-in-law. Before going out, Sister-in-law Wang also went back to take two backpacks from her house, one was specifically for carrying the child, and the other was given to Li Mei.

When Sister-in-law Wang handed the basket to Li Mei, she said to Li Mei, "You bought a lot of things today, if you don't take a basket, you won't be able to load it later." ”

Li Mei naturally thanked Sister-in-law Wang for her kindness, and sure enough, experienced people are different.

Sister-in-law Wang was very relieved to see that Li Mei's face did not change and took the back basket handed over by her.

To be honest, when she went home to get the basket, Sister-in-law Wang made a decision very impulsively. When she handed the things to Li Mei, Wang's sister-in-law regretted it. Because the new military wife was also going to buy things at that time, she kindly said that she would lend her backpack to her, and the person slapped her face on the spot. Until now, Wang's sister-in-law still hasn't figured out why that person is angry.

Therefore, impulsively, when she gave her backpack to Li Mei, Wang's sister-in-law regretted it. I was afraid that Li Mei would be the same as the military sister-in-law, and she would show her face again. Fortunately, Li Mei did not do this.

"Wait a minute, don't forget to buy some coal and come back. After Wang's sister-in-law saw Li Mei carrying the basket on her back, she kindly reminded her.

"Coal? Do you want to buy kerosene? Will there be a power outage in the army?" Li Mei looked at Wang's sister-in-law in puzzlement.

The most convenient thing about coming here is that it is a little open, and there are electric lights at night. Although the wattage of the light bulb is not large, and it is not as bright as the bulbs of later generations, compared to the kerosene lamp, it is really a big step forward.

"No, no. I'm talking about coal, not kerosene, it's burning that coal. Sister-in-law Wang knew that Li Mei had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "We live in a building now, so naturally we can't burn firewood in the countryside like before, and even if we can burn firewood, we don't know where to pick up firewood." So, everybody is basically a firing medium. Some people find it more troublesome to burn the medium, so they buy a stove that burns honeycomb coal. And like my family, I also bought a stove like this, and in winter, the house can always have hot water, which is very convenient. ”

Li Mei nodded knowingly, indicating that she knew. This coal must be bought, but as for the other stoves, we will talk about it later.

"By the way, we have to buy a little kerosene, and sometimes we have power outages here. Sister-in-law Wang did not forget to remind. "When you go back, you have to ask Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao if there is kerosene at home, if not, you have to make one, otherwise you will stop a little, even if you buy kerosene at home, you will be blind. ”

For Wang's sister-in-law's kind reminder, Li Mei nodded herself.

"Also, if Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao doesn't know how to do it, take it to my house and let my family make one. However, you have to prepare a small glass bottle yourself, and I don't have any extra at home. At this time, Sister-in-law Wang herself was a little embarrassed, and after this reminder, it seemed that it was a little endless, and I don't know if the Li family's sister would blame her for being troublesome.

Li Mei didn't think that Sister-in-law Wang was troublesome, but felt that the enthusiastic sister-in-law Wang had helped a lot.

"There is no need to trouble Camp Commander Wang for this little thing, I used to make this kerosene lamp at home, and I will do it myself, so I don't need to trouble you. Li Mei is not a lie. She's done this before.

The kerosene lamp method is really very simple, find a glass bottle, make a hole in the lid on it, the size of the hole, depending on the hollow tube.

This hollow tube can't do anything, you have to find something that is resistant to burning. The best is iron, copper, or whatever. However, these things are more expensive, so everyone generally chooses bamboo tung the size of a small thumb.

Then stuff the bamboo tung with strips of cloth that you don't want or something, and leave some strips of cloth outside, so that it is done. Put kerosene in it, and when the cloth strip is covered with oil, you can light it, and the kerosene lamp can be used.
