Chapter 58

“I can give you 5 jin each,” the elder sister gritted her teeth and gave all her authority.

Song Shuqian quickly thanked her and took out two chocolates to stuff into the elder sister’s pockets, “Sister, have some chocolate to sweeten your mouth.”

This chocolate was also a gift brought back by Wei Jianguo from his mission this time. Song Shuqian liked it very much. To build a good relationship,

she was willing to spend it. Chocolate is a luxury these days. It is not only expensive but also requires tickets. The elder sister is even more satisfied.

Both parties are willing to make friends, and soon the chat becomes heated.

Song Shuqian has also chosen the wool, black, blue, gray, and white. There is more than one or two green left, and she wants it too. Without touching those colors that are particularly in short supply, the elder sister now thinks that this girl is very sensible, and she can introduce all the good things to her in the future.

Song Shuqian didn’t think too much, she just simply likes these colors.

Song Shuqian chose three blankets. She didn’t think this thing was too much, and she could use it when she had children in the future.

The remaining two people didn’t need anything, so they went to the food counter and bought a pound of White Rabbit, a pound of Shaqima, a box of Golden Chicken Biscuits, and three cans of food.

To carry things, they bought a large backpack.

After leaving the department store, they found a place where no one was, and under the cover of the backpack, Song Shuxi put the heavier things into the treasure gourd.

After buying things, the two saw that it was still early, so they wandered around the city.

There are more things in the city than in the county, and they are also better.

Thinking of something, Song Shuxi whispered, “Should we go to the black market to buy food.”

Wei Jianguo rubbed her hair, “Don’t worry, I have arranged all these, let’s go directly to the logistics to help. It’s still quite dangerous to go there, and there may not be any there.”

Song Shuxi didn’t understand, these were all what Wei Jianguo said, and she just listened to it.

“Let’s go to the park, I’ll take a picture of you.” Wei Jianguo thought his wife was the most beautiful.

The two took a few individual photos in the park, and didn’t take group photos because they didn’t find anyone to help.

Seeing that it was still early, Song Shuxi wanted to go to the bookstore to see the pigments in the city.

To buy paint here, you need a letter of introduction. They didn’t have one, so they bought it with Wei Jianguo’s officer ID.

“Jianguo, look at these short stories. Do you think I can write them?”

Wei Jianguo thought about the current trend. Saying the wrong thing is risky. Writing an article is like handing someone a handle. At this time, he should still lie down and whispered, “Let’s talk about it when we get home.”

Song Shuqian understood immediately that this was not supportive.

The two changed the topic and continued to choose books. There are really few books now. She already has most of them, and the ones she doesn’t have are not what she needs.

She browsed around and left.

It was about time, and the two came to the restaurant. The supply today was quite rich.

They ordered a dish of three fresh vegetables, a pot-wrapped pork, a large rice noodle, and packed a chicken stewed with mushrooms and a braised pork slice in a lunch box, which stunned many diners.

Too arrogant.

Due to their clothes and demeanor, no one spoke. In this year, everyone is in danger, and everyone is talking less and doing more.

Those young people who rush out when they don’t like something are a minority. If they are not educated well, they dare not let out family affairs to bring disaster to their families.

“I’ve heard that the chefs here are good, but I didn’t expect it to be so good.” Song Shuqian especially likes today’s eggplant, which tastes better than meat.

Wei Jianguo has been taking care of her, and only finishes the rest of the meal quickly after she is full.

Song Shuqian is picky about food, and it’s not easy to find something she likes. Wei Jianguo has developed the habit of serving her first when there is food.

The two of them are used to it, but it has attracted the envy of many young wives. After eating

and drinking, the two of them went to the waiting place in advance to wait for the bus.

It was agreed to come at one o’clock in the afternoon, but it was not certain whether it would be earlier or later.

When they came, there were already several sisters-in-law waiting.

These sisters-in-law’s parents are from the city, and they went back to their parents’ home to stay for two days, and then took a bus back to the family compound.

Everyone had to greet each other when they met.

Song Shuqian has lived in the family compound for more than two months, but she doesn’t like to go out, and she lives in the small courtyard at the back, so she is a stranger living in gossip to everyone.

Now when they meet, they are pulled to chat.

People these days are reserved and rarely take the initiative to talk to men, so Wei Jianguo stood aside while his young wife chatted with her sisters-in-law.

“Sister, have you been to the department store, which is newly opened in the city? They say it has a wide range of goods, including many popular items,” a sister-in-law said mysteriously.

Song Shuqian smiled and replied, “I did. The three floors do have a wide range of goods. I have always wanted to knit a sweater for Jianguo. It is hard to buy wool in the town supply and marketing cooperative, but there is some in the city, and there are more colors than in the town.”

“Yeah, there is wool. Oh, I should go there today. You are lucky, sister. I didn’t have it when I went there yesterday.”

“That’s a coincidence. It must be a newly arrived product. Jianguo was alone before, and the sister-in-law also knew that he had a rough life as a soldier, so it’s okay if he can make do. It’s so cold in winter without a sweater. Fortunately, I bought one, otherwise I would have planned to stay at the town supply and marketing cooperative.”

The other sister-in-law saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurried to smooth things over, “That’s right, these people just got by before they got married. It’s also because you are a good person and feel sorry for Captain Wei.”

Song Shuqian pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in her sister-in-law’s words, she was not a gossiper.

Several people chatted about some irrelevant things again. The sister-in-law who had just spoken saw Song Shuqian’s watch, “Sister, this watch is really beautiful, it makes your wrist look particularly white.”

Song Shuqian raised her arm to show them, “When I got married, Jianguo gave me a betrothal gift, it’s a Dadi brand, I also think it looks very beautiful.” After saying that, she smiled shyly, like a girl in love.

Dadi brand is the leader of domestic watches, and the key is that it is domestically made. When she was choosing a watch, she deliberately chose it, for fear that someone would make a fuss about her wearing an imported watch.

She planned to collect the Omega she bought today, together with the watch left by the original owner.

If she can’t wear it openly in this life, she will pass it on to her daughter.

In the final analysis, it was her impulse. She had never lacked money in her two lives. When she saw something, she liked, her first reaction was to buy it.

Three women made a scene, and now there are nine women, who knows how many scenes there are.

The truck came, and Song Shuqian asked Wei Jianguo to sit in the front. It would be too strange for him to sit in the front with a bunch of women.

Wei Jianguo did not refute, and asked Song Shuqian to step on his legs to get on the bus.

It’s quite convenient to get on the bus this way.

As soon as she sat down, she saw several sisters-in-law with envious eyes. Song Shuqian had seen this kind of eyes many times today and was immune to it.

These sisters-in-law had no ill intentions, and Song Shuqian was happy to chat with them.

During the chat, she calmly changed the topic and talked about whose husband was the best in the family compound.

She took the opportunity to mention Chen Jiaojiao’s husband. Whose husband did not support his own parents, but instead took his mother-in-law and sister-in-law to take care of him. Usually, she indulged them. Old Mrs. Chen offended so many people in the family compound, but she was not driven back.

This made many sisters-in-law envious.

Nowadays, every girl is like water spilled out after being married. If you bring more things back to your parents’ home, you will be scolded as a thief from your in-laws’ family.

Time passed quickly as she talked and laughed with everyone along the way.

These sisters-in-law also understood Song Shuqian. She was a very easy-to-get-along person. She spoke softly but was very shrewd. She did not take advantage of others, nor did she allow others to take advantage of her.
