Chapter 8: Into the City
I was going to lie back on the bed, but then a shout sounded outside the door, "Is the superhero girl at home?"
Hearing that it was Dong Juan, who came to be a guest yesterday, Chaoying walked out of the house.
"Is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?"
"Hey, today's supply car of the army went to the county, and I heard that there is an acrobatic performance in the central square. You can go with it. ”
"I'm not going, thank you sister-in-law for calling me. ”
Dong Juan looked at Chaoying with a pale face and listlessness. "Chaoying, are you not feeling well, why do you look sick?"
"No, it's Gu Weidong who went on a mission, I'm a little worried. ”
"Silly girl, what's there to worry about, they are going out to practice and not fighting, my Lao Li has to go several times a year, and I am not like you. ”
"Training, it's not a special task, and it's not dangerous, is that what you mean sister-in-law?"
"That's right, didn't your battalion commander tell you?"
"Good job, Gu Weidong!" "Wait for you to come back and see how I clean you up."
"If you don't go, I'll go first, and the car will leave immediately. ”
"Wait, sister-in-law, I want to go too. ”
"Okay, then hurry up and clean up, I'll wait for you later"
Hearing that there was no danger in this operation, Chaoying was angry at Gu Weidong's concealment, but he was even more pleased that he would come back safely in a few days.
After entering the house, he changed his clothes, put on another 30 yuan, and went to do the car with Dong Juan.
When the local car was full, the two had to squeeze into the middle aisle, on both sides of the carriage were two rows of wooden planks, and the aisle was not wide.
Bumpy all the way, about half an hour to the county seat, here is not much bigger than the town, still two rows of houses on the side of the street, but some places have built two-story small buildings, and there is a large state-owned comprehensive shopping mall in the center of the street, after which there are more stalls, in addition to twist cakes There is also a shop that sells bald cakes.
The supply car stopped at the entrance of the mall, and the military wives of a car got off one after another, and agreed to gather at the gate of the mall at 12 o'clock to return. After that, it's time to go your own way.
Chaoying and Dong Juan and Wang Min decided to go to the state-run shopping mall first, and then go to the opposite market to buy some fruits and vegetables that are not available in the town.
The state-run shopping mall is different from the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town, there are independent small shops in them, the three of them go shopping one by one, the two battalion commanders' wives have chosen to buy clothes, and Chaoying has bought 3 meters of light blue seersucker gauze fabric at the place where the cloth is sold, and plans to make a skirt by himself, after all, the current style is really unacceptable.
"I also want to buy some yarn and knit a sweater for the child and Lao Fu. ”
"Then I'll buy some too, and my little tiger should be greedy again when people wear new sweaters. ”
"Don't you buy some Chaoying girl, after a while, when the weather is cold, let's also knit a sweater for your Gu battalion chief." ”
Thinking of Gu Weidong, who came back in half a month, he was the one who should surprise him, so it was not bad to give him only a sweater.
"It's just that I don't know how to do anything, and I'll have to be taught by my sister-in-law when the time comes. ”
"That's fine, it's on me. Dong Juan said briskly.
After shopping in the mall, I came to the vegetable market, and saw that there was indeed more food in it than in the town, and everyone fell into a shopping spree.
Dong Juan bought bald cakes for the child and bought 2 catties of pork, and Wang Min bought a lot of twist candy cubes, so she was more interested in these things, but when she saw that there were duck eggs for sale, she still bought 20 of them, thinking that the salted duck eggs that she often ate in her previous life were good for both rice and porridge and wine, and now she bought it back and pickled it and waited for Gu Weidong to come back and eat it. After buying things, Dong Juan proposed to go to the square to watch an acrobatic performance. The three of them carried the things they bought through half of the county, but they were just in time for the end of the acrobatic performance, which was nothing for Chaoying, who was accustomed to seeing various literary and artistic programs and entertainment projects, but for the lack of entertainment at the moment, Dong Juan and Wang Min were very regretful.
Looking at the time again, there is still more than an hour until 12 o'clock.
"It's time to eat, I'll invite my two sisters-in-law to eat wontons!"
"That's a lot of money, and you have to cook for the children when you go home, don't eat, don't eat, go shopping for a while and wait for the car, and you can't squat in the aisle anymore when you go back." Dong Juan said loudly.
"I see that the two sisters-in-law have bought food for the children, and it is estimated that the children will not eat much when they go home and will not eat much when they are cooked. ”
"Chaoying really deserves to be a teacher, my maid doesn't eat every time I go to the market, just waiting for me to buy snacks. ”
"We have a certain amount of research on children's psychology, otherwise how can teachers manage so many students in the class. ”
"Besides, it's not easy for us women to go out once, so I should thank my two sisters-in-law for taking care of me. ”
Seeing that Chaoying was resolute, the two no longer shirked, and in the end, the three of them ate a bowl of wontons and spent a total of five cents. But Dong Juan and Wang Min were distressed enough. You must know that in your previous life, a bowl of wontons cost 15 yuan, so you are still very satisfied with the current price Chaoying.
