My Haughty Adorable Wife Has Arrived

Chapter 19: Fight the prodigal to the end

The fare from the family area of ​​​​the school field to the city is 1 yuan. It usually takes about 40 minutes to drive there, but taking the bus is much slower and takes about an hour and a half. The main reason is that there are many stations and the car has to wait every time it passes through a small village. Stop for a moment, it’s already past nine o’clock when we arrive at the Red Star Farmers Market.

There were not many people at this place, and all the salespersons at this time were very arrogant, but Su Xiaowan was not afraid of this and bought 20 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of white flour, and 8 kilograms of soybean oil.

Rice costs 15 cents per catty, which costs 3 yuan, white flour costs 18 cents per catty, which costs 1 yuan and 80 cents, and soybean oil costs 50 cents per catty, which costs 4 yuan in total.

After buying these, half of the 20 yuan given by Han Dongchen was spent. After deducting the round-trip fare of 2 yuan, there was only 9.2 yuan left.

I bought two kilograms of pork belly for 8 cents per kilogram and spent 1.6 yuan. I bought a big bone for 30 cents.

I bought some seasonings, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, one pound of white sugar, two pounds of brown sugar, which cost about 8 cents per pound, as well as peppercorns, aniseed and dried red pepper, which cost 70 cents. I bought 3 cents of candy, about 30 pieces of candy, these things are very cheap.

I bought some potatoes, cabbage, onions, ginger, garlic, etc., which cost about 2 cents a pound. I also bought some soybeans, and I wanted to make some bean sprouts to eat. I spent a total of 6 cents. This season, many vegetables are not in the market yet.

I bought some dried fungus, onions and 20 eggs. At this time, the eggs were only 3 cents each, and the total cost was 1 yuan.

I bought another bottle of cream. At this time, cream was sold in bulk and weighed in twos. But I didn’t bring a small bottle, so I bought the packaged one for 70 cents.

I bought some soap for washing my face, shampoo for washing my hair, two towels, two sets of toothbrushes and toothpaste, and a washbasin, for a total of 3 yuan.

After calculating this, it didn't take long to spend 17 yuan. Including the round-trip fare, the total was 19 yuan, and I still had 1 yuan left in my hand.

Su Xiaowan was busy shopping here, but Zheng Haimei who was following her was not so relaxed. Watching Su Xiaowan buy things, she took whatever she liked and asked the price by the way when she went to check out. There was no need to compare, and I didn't hear her lament that the price was expensive or anything like that. Looking at her like that, it looked like she was picking up a bargain.

She couldn't understand this. How could you, a girl who just came out of a rural area and be so young, have such a calm temperament? It was like someone who had seen the big world and didn't take it seriously.

And the way money is spent is like running water, which really corresponds to Zhang Chunxiang's words. She looks quite prodigal. She is also used to spending money, but she doesn't have such a way of spending money as Su Xiaowan.

After everything was bought, Su Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the things she bought, and smiled with satisfaction. A person always has his own living habits. Su Xiaowan's life is very tight, and she rarely goes out for a stroll. When shopping, she always goes straight to the topic. When she was in college a few years ago, the conditions were not good, and she would talk about it. Later, when living conditions improved, these were all saved.

Looking back at Comrade Zheng Haimei who was following her, her hands were both free. Except for the two kilograms of oil and two kilograms of meat she bought herself, she was holding all Su Xiaowan's things.

Su Xiaowan felt embarrassed now, and said with a slight blush: "Sister-in-law Zheng, you must be tired. I bought a lot of things today. I thought it would not be easy anyway, so I just bought this month's meals all at once." We’ve all bought it and it’s almost noon. Let’s find a place to eat and then take the car back.”

Zheng Haimei said with a smile: "That's normal. I have to buy a lot of things when I first moved here. I came here the same way at the beginning. There is a Chaos store nearby and the food is delicious. Let's go to that store."

The two of them walked like this for a while, and then they arrived at the Chaos Shop. The food was really delicious. When it came time to pay, Su Xiaowan went to pay the bill.

Although Comrade Zheng Haimei unanimously requested that she not be invited, in the end it was Su Xiaowan who paid for it. She bought so many things with her and carried them with her. It was such a hard work and it was a good idea to treat someone to a meal. Two bowls of chaos cost 4 Cents are really cheap, but her coffers have shrunk from 1 yuan to 6 cents.

Although Zheng Haimei said with a serious face, if it doesn't happen again next time, she is actually quite happy in her heart. She thinks Su Xiaowan is quite sensible. However, after accompanying the official sister-in-law in the family courtyard so many times to buy things, She was the first one to invite her to dinner, and she felt quite comfortable.

The bus departed from the bus station at 2:30 in the afternoon, and the way back went smoothly. It was already past 4 o'clock when we got off the bus. Because there were many things, the two of us walked slowly and leisurely. We were tired after running all day. At this time, we were seen by the little soldier at the door. , helped carry the things upstairs very enthusiastically, and didn’t have anything to eat, so he grabbed a few pieces of candy and gave them to him. The little soldier left with a blushing face.

However, when he was sending the little soldier out, he happened to see an official's wife coming up from downstairs. The little soldier quickly said hello: "Hello, sister-in-law Yu" and left after saying that.

After the little soldier said hello, Su Xiaowan knew who this was. This was Yu Lanying from Deputy Zhao's house upstairs. From what Zheng Haimei meant, this person liked gossip and was a know-it-all. She knew what happened. Well, almost everyone in the compound knew about it.

After hearing the young soldier's greeting, Yu Lanying said hello and waited for the young soldier to leave. Then she said to Su Xiaowan: "Hey, you are the new daughter-in-law of Captain Han's family, right? I know. When you talked to Zhang Chunxiang this morning, I was not far away and heard it all. I'm not saying anything, but that person is lazy and sloppy every day. She has the nerve to say that others are ruining the family. Tsk tsk, she doesn't even look at herself. She has the nerve to go to her man to make trouble. I tell you, they quarreled again, and this time the noise was not small." Su Xiaowan looked at Yu Lanying in front of her, who spoke a little weirdly and looked gloating. She was also drunk. This was a person who couldn't live without gossiping all the time. Hey, although she sighed in her heart, she was still surprised on the surface: "They quarreled? I just came back, I really didn't hear about it." Seeing that Su Xiaowan had spoken to her, Yu Lanying said with more interest: "Well, that's right. Not long after you left, she ran to find her husband in a rage and came back to make a loud noise at home, saying that she had no face to live and was scolded and criticized by a little girl. It was all her husband's fault. Because of his low official position, a stinky girl who just came out of the countryside didn't take her seriously. Tsk tsk, she didn't even look at what she had done. What does it have to do with the level of her official position? Later, everyone in the family quarters knew about it, and Zhou Canli and Li Canwu both personally inquired about it."
