Ji Cheng leaned forward, took a look, and said, "Section Chief Li's lover."

"You said that I don't know Section Chief Li, so I thought she was different. She was very cold. Does she also seem to be ignoring everyone?"

"I don't know. I don't know the people in the family building as well as you do."

Yes, how can any man gossip?

After learning that Ji Cheng and Qiao An'an were back and had purchased furniture, Wang Guihua and Yao Yongying came together to see what was going on.

"Sisters-in-law, please sit down quickly."

The sofa that has just been installed is light brown in order to resist stains.

"Oh, this thing is so soft."

Wang Guihua sat on it and bumped her buttocks, as if she was surprised that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Yao Yongying also secretly stroked it several times. This thing is good. If Niu Niu is placed on it and brought to the front, she can wash her clothes and cook a meal, and she can feel more at ease.

"Brother and sister, how much does the sofa cost?"

"It's not the best. It cost more than a hundred yuan."

"Oh my god, that's two months of my salary."

Yao Yongying put down his hand, her family had no money, let alone think about it.

After sitting for a while, Wang Guihua and Yao Yongying got up and left.

"There is a big market in Liugezhuang today. I have to go to the market. My brother and sister, are you going to go? I just want to go together and keep company."

It was cold, and Ji Cheng didn't want Qiao An'an to go. There were pots and pans at home, and there was no shortage of them at the moment.

Qiao Anan wants to go. She will settle down here and live here in the future. There will always be places that need to be purchased.

"Then let's go. Don't worry about the cold. Wear an extra cotton-padded jacket."

Qiao Anan changed into a long red velvet jacket and went downstairs to find Wang Guihua.

"Jesus, didn't you get the bag?"

I found that Wang Guihua especially likes to say the word "God", which has become a mantra.

"Took one, it's in the bag."

Wang Guihua still found a big one for Qiao Anan, with a few stains on it.

"Don't think it's dirty. I've been carrying things around for a while. I've washed them."

Zhuang Zeying also went. Yao Yongying's child was still young, so he gave Wang Guihua a dollar and asked her to cut some meat.

Wang Guihua put it in her pocket and started complaining when she reached the stairs, "Brothers and sisters Yao live their lives carefully, cut some meat for one dollar and buy nothing else."

Zhuang Zeying answered, "What can you do if you don't save money? Her mother-in-law has gone back. I heard that she needs thirty yuan a month in pension money. Director Xu's salary is only more than eighty yuan. The family can eat, drink and have sex. I heard that And foreign debt.”

"Yao Yongying said that she didn't owe a penny during the years she stayed at home. The famine was caused by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The old woman went away and left all the famine on them."

Even so, Yao Yongying was happy because he no longer had to be harassed by the old woman.

Liugezhuang is seven or eight miles away from the army. It took almost half an hour of walking by bus to get there.

It was similar to the fair in Kaixian County, but a little bigger. It was in a forest, with all open-air stalls and not even a windshield.

Wang Guihua asked Qiao Anan, "What are my siblings going to buy?"

"Sister-in-law buys first. I don't have much to buy, so I'm not in a hurry."

Although men's wages are slightly higher than those of ordinary workers, many military wives are unemployed and have the expenses of raising children. It means that one person earns money and the whole family spends it. Women are very frugal.

Even when cutting meat, it was pork belly with suet oil. The pork at this time was not produced by feed. Qiao Anan liked to eat it, so she cut more than one pound of lean meat and almost two pounds of pork belly.

Wang Guihua wanted to say something, but Zhuang Zeying touched her and closed her mouth.

There was not much food at home, so Qiao Anan bought a pack of beans and sun-dried eggplant slices when she saw an old man selling dried vegetables. The total cost was less than fifty cents. When the old man tremblingly made change, Qiao Anan had already left.

"Brothers and sisters, we still have to find two cents." Wang Guihua thought Qiao Anan didn't know the price, so she hurried to catch up.

It's only two cents. Qiao An'an didn't want it, so she had to take care of other people's feelings. "Ah, I forgot, forget it. It's not easy for old people, so I won't go back to get it."

"Well, there's no one like you. It's not easy for them to make money as soldiers. They sweat, but they sweat more than just sweat."

Wang Guihua ran back to get the money again. Zhuang Zeying smiled at Qiao Anan and said, "Guihua lives her life carefully. She may have distracted you. Don't blame her."

"No way, sister-in-law, she also means well."

Wang Guihua was already chubby, and she was walking in a hurry, sweating on the tip of her nose, "Here, two cents can buy more than two taels of pork, and you can stir-fry several meals."

Qiao An'an followed them to the cloth market again. Pulling cloth to make shoes is a job that many military wives have to do. Those who give birth to a daughter are better, as they don't waste much shoes; those who give birth to a son, you can't make shoes as fast as he can. .

The quality of the cloth is not very good either, they are all homespun cloth dyed by individuals.

Qiao Anan didn't know how to make shoes, so she didn't join in the fun.

The clothes market and the shoe market are next to each other. Wang Guihua sighed, "This year is almost over again. I bought two leather clothes. It seems that I can't afford to wear clothes anymore."

Zhuang Zeying didn't like to hear Wang Guihua cry about poverty, "Old Wei handed over all the money, who are you reluctant to blame?"

"Don't stand and talk without hurting your back. You are just a daughter. If you have one, you will accompany her. If you don't, you will pull her away. I am different. I will pay a bride price to build a house, or two."

Zhuang Zeying has an ugly face. Isn't this a joke that she gave birth to a daughter?

Wang Guihua didn't know that she had committed a taboo by not speaking short words in front of the dwarf.

Wang Guihua touched Qiao Anan's down jacket, "My sister, this cotton-padded jacket is so soft, how much does it cost?"

"Forty-six, do you want it, sister-in-law? If so, I will bring it for you."

Wang Guihua stuck out her tongue, "The whole family can't afford to have their necks pierced."

Qiao Anan went to the Liugezhuang Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy soy sauce, vinegar, MSG and other seasonings. She lived at home without anything.

The big bag Wang Guihua gave came in handy, and Qiao Anan packed it all together.

"An'an, Lin An'an!"

Qiao An'an was still wondering who was calling her, when a red figure ran over from the west of the counter.

"Fan Xiaolan?"

"You still recognize me? Why don't you contact me? I thought you forgot about me."

Fan Xiaolan was her classmate in middle and high school. She was called a good friend at this time and best friend in later generations.

Before their lives were exposed, the two of them wore the same pair of pants. After her previous life was exposed, Qiao Anan cut off contact with anyone. Lin Dong brought her back from the south, and she no longer looked like a human or a ghost.

Fan Xiaolan, who was once a good friend, never showed up once, so Qiao Anan had the good sense not to look for her when she was reborn.

"I have returned to my hometown in Kaixian County and cannot contact you."

"Okay, I believed you, so why are you here?"

Qiao Anan pointed in the direction of the military camp, "My wife is in the army."

"That's great. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well. I work in a supply and marketing cooperative. If you need anything, just come to me."

Fan Xiaolan's lover is a grassroots cadre in the town. She was transferred here voluntarily in order to avoid being separated.

Even Wang Guihua and Zhuang Zeying followed Qiao Anan's lead and bought an extra piece of soap and cloth. Before leaving, Fan Xiaolan kept reminding her to contact her frequently in the future to avoid being lost again.

……

The three of them bought a lot of things, and Ji Cheng borrowed a bicycle to pick up Qiao Anan.

Wang Guihua joked, "The scale beam cannot be separated from the weight, and the old man cannot be separated from his wife. If Old Wei treats me so little once, it will last a lifetime."

Ji Cheng turned the car around and said, "Sister-in-law, wait, I'll call Captain Wei to pick you up."

Qiao Anan held the man's waist and easily sat on the car seat.

"Hey, be careful..."
