Family Courtyard
Lin Qingqing sent Aunt Wang away, and Xiaomei came over.
"The army is really a reasonable place. That woman is shameless. She deserves to be transferred away by the army."
Lin Qingqing smiled: "Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. Let's live our own lives. That’s fine.”
Xiaomei: Nod.
After scrubbing the bluestone, she took the notebook and sat next to Lin Qingqing to discuss tomorrow's treat.
Xiaomei first counted the number of people: twenty people from Eagle Claw, eight sisters-in-law, one member of the political commissar’s family, two members of the chief’s family, and three of themselves. Those stupid kids didn’t count.
"Sister, I counted a total of thirty-four people. We can set up two tables then."
Lin Qingqing nodded. There was just enough room for two tables in the yard: "Tables and bowls and chopsticks. Sister-in-law Xu from Zhang Liang's family said that she was going to clean things up. We can just go buy vegetables tomorrow morning."
"Sister, how many dishes should we cook?"
" There are eight dishes on a table, what do you think is suitable?"
Xiaomei ran back to the house and took out the tickets that were about to expire. She counted five kilograms of meat tickets, two fish tickets, and three. Tofu tickets, one fan ticket, and two wine tickets.
"Sister, let's use all these things that are about to expire. For eight dishes, we will make eggplant roast pork, potato roast pork, stewed fish, fried tofu, cabbage vermicelli, stir-fried beans with shredded pork, and scrambled eggs with luffa. , cold cucumber, and some steamed white flour buns."
Lin Qingqing nodded: "Add a sweet soup. "People here like to drink sweet soup, buy some lotus root starch and lotus seeds, and cook them in a pot. .
"It's done."
Xiaomei wrote down all the groceries and wrote down a list of groceries for tomorrow.
At this time, Song Yiyuan came back and took Xiaomei to the private plot of the family courtyard to see the land assigned to them by the army.
When Xiaomei arrived at the vegetable field, she saw that the sisters-in-law who had gone to deliver things in the morning were also there. She greeted her warmly and said that she would grow vegetables the day after tomorrow. She also made an appointment with Zhang Liang’s wife Xu Xiuhong to go to the river to fetch water the day after tomorrow. .
...
The next morning, before dawn, Xiaomei got up, watered the ground in the yard, and made breakfast again.
She served Song Yiyuan a portion first, and she waited for her sister to get up and eat together.
Lin Qingqing got up around 7 o'clock, had breakfast with Xiaomei, and then rode to town.
After what happened yesterday, almost all the sisters-in-law in the family home knew that the beautiful woman they saw was Song Yiyuan's daughter-in-law, and they all greeted her warmly.
"Team Leader Song's wife, are you going shopping?"
"Going to the next town to buy some household items."

"Hey, Team Leader Song's wife has gone out so early. Is she going to the town? Bring me back a bag of salt."
"Okay."
Yesterday we were like strangers, but today everyone is as friendly as old neighbors. The typical characteristics of people in the 1970s are that they are warm and familiar with each other.
The second time I went to the town, Xiaomei rode her bicycle on the familiar roads and arrived in the town in less than half an hour.
In addition to buying groceries today, Lin Qingqing also wanted to use the soon-to-expire cloth stamps, shoe stamps, and candy stamps.
When you go to the post office to send a telegram home, mail these things to Shaanxi City.
The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative first and bought four feet of thick cloth, two pairs of shoes, one pair for each of Father and Mother Lin, two cans of malted milk, and five bottles of canned fruit.
The two found the post office and first sent home a safe telegram. Lin Qingqing wrote another letter, detailing her situation in the army. Mother Lin must have missed her very much. How about.
The letter was written and mailed together with the purchases.
After doing this, the two went to the state-owned food station. There were so many people there early in the morning. Xiaomei took the money ticket and rushed into the crowd. At first, the people at the food station were unwilling to sell her five kilograms of meat. After hearing that Xiaomei was a member of the military and there was a happy event at home, they readily cut off five kilograms of meat.
Xiaomei saw that no one wanted the pig in the water, so she bought a pair for fifty cents. There were a lot of green peppers at home, so they were just right for frying.
People in the village who cannot afford meat will buy the pigs and eat them.
When the two of them came out of the food station, their hands were full of things again.
Just hang the things on the car. Xiaomei took Lin Qingqing around the town on a bicycle.
This town is called Hongxing Town. It is not very large. You can walk around the town in about ten minutes by riding a bicycle. In addition to a supply and marketing cooperative, there is also a food station in the town. The food station only kills 100,000 people a day. A pig will be sold out before 11 o'clock.
There was not much to see in the town, so the two of them walked around and headed back to the army.
It was just before 9 o'clock when I got home, and the sisters-in-law in the family courtyard were all out for activities.
There is a big pine tree at the entrance to the military compound. The sisters-in-law would bring their babies and chat under the tree to pass the time. There were also people who brought vegetables to pick. They watched whoever came in and who came out. .
Seeing Lin Qingqing riding back with a cart full of things, the sisters-in-law stared straight at them.
"Didn't I just see Team Leader Song's wife out the day before yesterday, and she went shopping again today?"
Honghua happened to be there too, she explained: "Team Leader Song In the evening, the people in the group were invited to dinner. If his wife didn’t buy groceries, what would they do?”
The sister-in-law who spoke in the front choked and stopped talking.
