Chapter 3: Women of the Eight Women

Out of the army compound, there is a small bridge more than 200 meters along the road. The buses to the city are parked there at seven o'clock every morning and depart at the city passenger station at one o'clock in the afternoon. It's nearly three o'clock to the army's side. It's an hour's two-hour drive I have to send people off in every surrounding village, and finally I get to the army, and the one-hour drive will become two hours.

When Zhang Guilan arrived at Xiaoqiao, she saw some familiar faces, most of whom were family members of the compound with Shang Hong. One of them, Wang Li, was Shang Hong's dog legs. I heard that she came from the farm on the other side of Sanjiang, which was also from the countryside. However, because she could flatt with people, she

"Is your sister-in-law going to the city? Camper Luo and others are resting today. How can they go to the city with their sister-in-law? It's really reassuring that my sister-in-law is alone. What you said is unpleasant.

One implies that Zhang Guilan is not liked by men, and the other is that Zhang Guilan comes from the countryside. It is a shame to get lost in the city.

Zhang Guilan squeezed her lips and smiled, "Men are training outside for a few months, and then let them go shopping with our women. That's why they don't understand people. I saw the Yang's sister-in-law leave by car in the morning. Why didn't the girl leave together? This bus is so crowded that we can only get used to it when we come out of the countryside.

Shang Hong's man's surname is Yang. Every day when Shang Hong goes to work in the city, he will take the army or his friend's private car to the city together. Although he didn't see it in the morning, Zhang Guilan knew about this in the last life.

Wang Li couldn't hang her face, and her tone was sour. "Sister-in-law, I don't know. I'm also from the countryside. As soon as I get in that car, I get carsick. When I get used to this bus, the body of the poor man."

If you don't like Zhang Guilan, you are more of a grudge against Shang Hong.

Zhang Guilan squeezed her lips and didn't say much. The bus happened to come. She got on the bus along the current and found a seat at the end. She didn't want Wang Li to follow and sit down, which was much more enthusiastic about Zhang Guilan than before.

said in a low voice, "My sister-in-law has just arrived here, and I don't know the situation in this courtyard. For example, those of us who came out of the countryside are pointed out wherever we go. If it hadn't been for the man in my family who was an instructor and had been persuading me to get along well It's like I have to flatt like them.

This is a little true, but Zhang Guilan still doesn't want to talk about these gossips. "What are you going to buy today?"

"It's not that the rice at home is gone. I'll come to buy some. Although the army has some during the Spring Festival, there is still a half-sized son in my family. One person can eat for two people. That little food is not enough, but compared with the life on the farm, it's much better now. There are rice

Nowadays, despite the reform and opening up, the life of the people of the whole country is still not very good, and it is common for people to eat enough, especially the living conditions in rural areas, which are the worst. If you have to plan to eat some food at home, especially when it is almost autumn, there is almost no rice in the family at that time The sweet potato is boiled until the food comes down.

Zhang Guilan grew up in the countryside. She is particularly aware of this situation. Grandma's family has a large population. What grandma has to do every day is to wash potatoes. After eating this meal, the day's work is to wash potatoes for the family to eat. Nearly 20 people, plus uncles have become a family and have children. Each meal requires two A large pot of potatoes.

"What does my sister-in-law buy? Why don't we go together?" Maybe she felt that they all came from the countryside. At this time, Wang Li felt more and more close to Zhang Guilan.

Zhang Guilan didn't refuse, "Just buy some for daily use, so let's go together."

When she got out of the car, Wang Li took Zhang Guilan away. As she walked, she introduced where the vegetables were cheap, where the rice was good, and where they sold daily necessities. Zhang Guilan had known these in her last life, even more familiar than Wang Li, and she listened carefully.

When buying rice, Zhang Guilan also bought red beans and mung beans. Seeing that there were some soybeans, Wang Li looked at it and said in surprise, "Sister-law, do you want to plant these? The team gave each family a vegetable field, but there were only two cages. They could only grow some vegetables they usually eat. How could they grow these?

After getting along with each other this morning, Zhang Guilan also found that Wang Li said that it was a rectum, but it was better to say that there was only one tendon in the brain, and the nature of human beings was not bad. When listening to what she said, she didn't feel that it was different.

"I want to get some soybean sprouts to eat. I moved here late, and I don't have any winter vegetables at home." Zhang Guilan is just a polite word.

With what she learned in her class in her last life, not to mention not storing winter vegetables, even with this soybean sprout, she can make a few dishes, and it is delicious without spending too much money.

Wang Li has a deep feeling, "Then I'll buy some, too. To be honest, it's better for us to have a fixed salary here, but we don't know that hungry men are hungry. This little money is more important for a family to live."

Finally, Zhang Guilan bought another box of snow cream. Thinking of Luo Jijun's hand, she wanted another clam oil with miscellaneous things, and then they got on the bus.

On this day, Wang Li also liked Zhang Guilan more and more, "Sister-in-law, you can come to chat with me if you have nothing to do. Don't always stay at home by yourself."

Zhang Guilan put the books she bought back in her triangular pocket, "Okay, I just came here. When the house is done, don't bother me."

Wang Li smiled, "When I saw my sister-in-law before, I thought she was an unfriendly person, but when I contacted her, I felt that her sister-in-law was easy to get along with. Why don't you come to my house with Camp Luo in the evening? I'll make dumplings."

"No, you see, I also bought so many things. I don't know when to pack up when I get home. Wait until I have a chance." In fact, Zhang Guilan also bought meat, but she didn't want to make dumplings.

Luo Jijun has to go out for training early every morning. She won't be hungry when she eats porridge. She wants to make some big steamed buns with meat and vegetables and freeze them on the balcony. It's hotter every morning, which is convenient.

Wang Li squeezed her lips and smiled. After being separated for so long, it was a hot time, so she didn't give up much.

When he got home, Zhang Guilan bought too many things. Fortunately, a little soldier ran over to help pick it up, sent it upstairs and ran away shyly. Luo Jijun heard the voice and came out of the study.

Seeing a pile of things on the ground, as if it had been expected for a long time, "Do you have enough money?"

This man is really not cute.

Zhang Guilan decided to let him go now. On the day he fell in love with him, he slowly repaired him. He smiled and said, "Enough, there are still five yuan left. I'm hungry. I'll cook now."

Dinner is stewed pork with vermicelli and white rice. Luo Jijun obviously likes it very much. More than half of it went into his stomach again, but when he saw that Zhang Guilan did not move his chopsticks, this time he opened his mouth, "Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm losing weight." Zhang Guilan blushed.

Luo Jijun obviously didn't expect it. After being slightly stunned, he looked at Zhang Guilan with a knife-cut face seriously. He was stared at and felt uncomfortable all over. Zhang Guilan said, "I can't stay. I want to go to the city tomorrow to see if there is any work to do. What do you think?"

"It's up to you." Luo Jijun was not good at words, but he looked at Zhang Guilan again.

Zhang Guilan cleaned up the table and went back to her room and sat in a daze. Although she had not made much progress with Luo Jijun, she did not become like an enemy. She picked up the clam oil and Zhang Guilan got up again. Luo Jijun just washed his face and came out of the bathroom. Zhang Guilan also felt that it was .

Luo Jijun didn't say much. He took it over and turned around and entered the room. He didn't hesitate at all. Zhang Guilan knew it would be like this, but when he returned to his room, he couldn't help but be sad.

No dream all night. When Zhang Guilan woke up in the morning, the room was empty. Looking at the bright sky, he also knew that Luo Jijun had left, so he simply lay back to **. Anyway, he felt that he was virtuous and had a different purpose.
