Shuttle Seventy: Sweet Wife

“Sister Jing~ Isn’t my place not doing a good job?” Li Xiaomei asked anxiously.

Li Xiaomei was worried that they would dislike the food that her family got, or that they didn’t buy the food, which would be bad. The food sent by the army was planned according to the amount of food, and they also got a small bag of food. Refined grains, and occasionally white rice, but their family has never been harsh or sophisticated.

It’s just that her family’s conditions are relatively poor, many of the ingredients are not complete, and the cooking oil is also used relatively sparingly, which may not taste good in food, and the conditions are limited!

Seeing Li Xiaomei’s expression, Jing Qingxin immediately reacted. The Li family was responsible for the high-level food and beverage arrangements before, and for this, a certain amount of food was given as a reward. Now that they suddenly said that the kitchen would be relocated, it was inevitable that the Li family had misunderstood. .

“No, don’t get me wrong. I just want to give Goshen some extra nutritious supplements. When I am here, I will be responsible for it. I will occasionally leave for a few days. At that time, you will still be responsible for Goshen’s diet. The food is still in your house, I can just buy some extra things. Do you understand?” Jing Qing explained carefully.

“Oh, so, then I’ll tell my mother at night. Sister Jing, what do you need to buy? I’ll take you there!” Li Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully.

As long as they don’t dislike their family, their family has eaten half of the fine grains given by the army, and the remaining half is ready to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. If they don’t need their family to take care of it, then this is impossible explained.

“Then let’s go to the commune in the afternoon, and then go to the town to go to the market tomorrow.” Jing Qing said after thinking.

“Okay, Sister Jing, wait for me.” Li Xiaomei quickly ran back to the house.

Two or three minutes later, Li Xiaomei changed into a blue cloth dress, huge black trousers, and cloth shoes with a layered bottom, which were obviously asymmetrical to her body shape. For clothes with several patches, this one looks much neater.

Li Xiaomei was arranging her clothes and trousers as she walked, and her expression showed a hint of shame. This dress, which she was usually reluctant to wear, was the only set of clothes she had without patches. Usually, when she went out to visit or go out on festivals, She will wear it.

She secretly glanced at Jing Qingxin, Li Xiaomei straightened her two big braids, raised her mouth slightly, and went to the commune at the entrance of the village. She usually doesn’t change her clothes, but she just saw Sister Jing’s beautiful clothes. , I had to change into this suit, and I couldn’t wear patched clothes and follow the beautiful sister Jing, which would be more shameful to Sister Jing.

“Let’s go!” Li Xiaomei said with a smile.

Immediately, the two happily set off in the direction of the village entrance commune!

As Jing Qingxin walked, she looked around carefully. Today, the village is still a yellow mud road. The road is uneven, and there are occasionally small puddles accumulated due to rainy days. Therefore, if you don’t look at the road, you may step on it. into the mud pit.

Along the way, what Jing Qingxin saw was the walls made of mud bricks, the roof was in the shape of a ‘herringbone’ shape, most of the houses were covered with tiles, and a few houses were thatched houses, but they were all flat houses on the first floor. Saw a two-story house.

The two walked and chatted, and the pace was not slow. In about half an hour, Jing Qingxin and Li Xiaomei walked to the commune at the entrance of the village. According to Li Xiaomei, this small shop was also the only storefront in the surrounding villages.

Jing Qingxin looked at the commune in front of her, which was a bungalow, but it was better built than the houses in the village, and the area looked larger than the houses in the village, and the walls were painted with a layer of white paint. A red slogan is written on the wall: a vast world, great achievements!

What a testimony to an era! Jing Qing couldn’t help but sighed in his heart.

Immediately, Jing Qingxin walked into the house and looked around. There were several wooden cabinets, the fronts of which were decorated with glass, and several wall cabinets, all of which were placed with various items.

At this moment, there are only two people walking around in the house. There is a woman sitting at the wooden counter. She lowered her head slightly and doesn’t know what she is doing. She doesn’t care about the people who buy in the house, and she doesn’t say hello!

Jing Qingxin immediately led Li Xiaomei to start shopping. The two first came to the wooden cabinet for household appliances. Jing Qingxin took a look. It was just some living and kitchen condiments, and there was no iron pan for sale at all.

Today’s commissary is not like the supermarkets of her time. The mode of choosing oneself and then checking out uniformly. After browsing around, Jing Qing already knew which items to buy, and the items here were all available to every household. The most basic items, and there are not many types.

Walking to the counter of the salesperson, the woman who had lowered her head, raised her head and glanced at it, and suddenly, her eyes were fixed on Jing Qingxin.

“Hello, comrade, I’ll buy something!” Jing Qingxin said politely, ignoring the glance of the other party.

“Oh, what to buy?” The salesman reacted and asked lightly, with an undisguised look on his face, his eyes full of doubts, why hasn’t she seen this young woman in front of her? And dressed so fashionably, how could he appear in this poor country?

Jing Qingxin was too lazy to pay attention to the woman in front of her, and directly read out a long list of item names, which were some kitchen seasonings, vegetable oil, tableware, towels and other supplies.

“Is there a spatula for sale here?” Jing Qingxin asked.

“I don’t have an iron pot and shovel, but I do have a casserole. Do you want it?” The saleswoman said bluntly. In the countryside, there are too few people who buy iron pots. Every household uses a large iron pot, but there are still a few in the warehouse. Idle casserole.

“Yes!” Jing Qing answered happily. Casserole is better. It is much better for stewing soup and porridge than an iron pot. She didn’t expect that the commune’s canteen could still buy a casserole. She thought that large iron pots are now used in the village.

The sales clerk neatly summarized the items that Jing Qing had in mind, and calculated the price. After a few minutes, he raised his voice and said, “The total is six yuan and eighty cents.”

This price is really cheap, such a small pile of things, only a few dollars! Jing Qing couldn’t help but raise the corner of her mouth, and handed the money in her hand to the salesperson.

The saleswoman happily took it, and then gave the change readily. It is rare to meet someone in the countryside who buys so many things at one time. The more she buys, the more she will benefit!

When Li Xiaomei reported a large list of items in Jingqing’s heart, her expression was stunned. There are only two or three kinds of seasonings in her house. It is enough to have the basic taste. Sister Jing spent more than six yuan just to buy the things in the kitchen.

In this regard, Li Xiaomei only felt distressed for a while! In the village, whoever wants to buy in such a way will definitely be labeled as a ‘prodigal woman’!
