The Pretty Military Wife

It was early in the morning, and it was time to buy vegetables. Usually there were not many vegetables on the street, only some people selling bamboo shoots, some selling dried vegetables, and some wild vegetables.

Moreover, I heard a few days ago that a vegetable store was going to open here. I heard that it would sell fresh vegetables, and the uncles and aunts had already paid attention to it.

I heard firecrackers being set off early this morning, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to see such a rich variety of dishes.

Some aunties regretted not bringing money, some were afraid of needing tickets, and they hurried home to get them.

So Liang Xinyue and a few others stayed to help, and they were also a little flustered.

The main thing is that I don't remember the prices of the dishes very well. Calculating the bills, paying, and getting change are all done manually, unlike in my previous life, when I could have a mobile phone in my hand and not have to worry about anything.

Liang Xinyue and Sister Liao were responsible for collecting money, while Min Honglian was responsible for weighing. Xiao Shun and another person were responsible for guiding everyone in and out, entering from one side and weighing and paying at the other side.

As soon as they saw that some dishes were out of stock, they would go to the sink at the back and take out the spare ones and put them there.

Fortunately, Liang Xinyue was prepared and knew that sales would definitely be better today:

"Everyone, don't fight or scramble. After this vegetable store opens, we will always ensure the supply of vegetables. Don't worry, there will be vegetables even in winter. Don't worry, we will deliver more vegetables tomorrow."

All units are now changing their orders to one every three days. And whatever is brought in tomorrow will be supplied to the people.

"Everyone remember, we will deliver food today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. After three days, we will deliver food every other day. If anyone needs more food for an event, please let us know in advance, and we will do our best to prepare it for you."

While Liang Xinyue was busy, she also did promotion and advertising for the vegetable store.

When the uncles and aunts heard that they would have vegetables to eat in the future, they were all very happy.

Moreover, the prices of vegetables are not much higher than in season, except that some vegetables are a few cents more expensive. But people who can actually afford to eat vegetables don’t mind.

Besides, many families didn’t have fresh vegetables in the winter and spring. Now that they have vegetables, they can spend a little more money.

They come first to buy, and then go back and call their friends to come again. Some of them buy enough to eat for several days at a time.

Liang Xinyue advised:

"If you buy too much, they won't be fresh anymore. If there's sunshine in the next two days, they'll wilt. You might as well buy them tomorrow. They'll still be fresh. We pick them fresh every morning and deliver them to you."

"Big sister, I'll buy some more because I'm going to visit my daughters later and send some to each of their homes. I'll buy more for food tomorrow."

At one time, many people were thinking about giving gifts to others, so what's wrong with giving fresh vegetables as gifts?

After one morning, the vegetables in the store were almost sold out.

The voices of several people, including Liang Xinyue, became hoarse.

Liang Xinyue and the others simply cleaned out the cash box. Although there was only some scattered money, with pennies accounting for the majority, it still took them half an hour to clean the full box.

I didn't expect that when I counted it, I actually sold it for more than 800 yuan.

More than 800 yuan is considered a large sum in that era. For an old staff member like Sister Liao, whose salary is only a few dozen yuan, more than 800 yuan is really a lot.

Liang Xinyue took the whole amount, wrote a receipt to Liao Daqian, and kept the change as change.

Liang Xinyue clicked her tongue twice and said:

"Big sister, I think you guys may be too busy tomorrow."

Sister Liao smiled and said:

"It's okay. When Xiao Shun brings the food tomorrow, just ask him to stay and help for a while."

Liang Xinyue thought about it and decided that the two waiters wouldn't have to deliver food tomorrow and could just help out in the store. This should indeed be possible.

I am indeed tired today, Liang Xinyue said:

"Okay then, let's go back first."

It was getting late, almost noon, so they took turns to rest.

Later, Director Ren came downstairs to see what was happening and said:

"Well, let's get Sister Liao a cafeteria card, so she can buy meal tickets and eat here in the future."

In this way, Sister Liao doesn't have to go back at noon.

Liang Xinyue was driving, and Min Honglian fell asleep in the car. When they arrived, it was Xiao Shun who woke her up:

"Ah, we're already here. I slept all the way."

"I am indeed tired. We also need to make some arrangements. We can't do this. No one will sleep well. The main thing is that everyone still has to take care of the children during the day. So, I think we can change to delivering food in the afternoon after three days."

Liang Xinyue was thinking about this problem on the way. The women in the family compound usually work very hard, but if they have to get up at two or three in the morning to pick vegetables for a long time, and still have to work and take care of children during the day, and do housework, no one will be able to bear it.

And it is indeed getting busy now, with a lot of things to do every day, such as planting, fertilizing, etc.

Xiao Shun also nodded. After the couple left, there would be even fewer people, and it would be even more difficult to work.

Liang Xinyue returned home and fed the two little ones a full meal. Little Jiajia happily ran over and hugged her mother and wouldn't let go. Maybe she usually saw her mother when she woke up early, but she didn't see her today.

The children began to miss their mother.

Aunt Li also prepared lunch and started eating after settling the children down.

Just after dinner, Xiao Wei came again:

"Sister, Political Commissar Xu asked me to ask you to answer the phone. It's the regiment commander calling back."

Liang Xinyue frowned. He went back in person, so what could be the matter?

Liang Xinyue quickly followed Xiao Wei to the regiment headquarters. After the call was hung up, Political Commissar Xu sat aside and said with a smile:

"I heard that the grocery store opened today? Not bad, right?"

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"Not bad. I brought a cart of vegetables here today and sold them all in the morning."

"You have worked hard, but the people of Xihuai County are blessed. From now on, they will have vegetables to eat when the vegetables are withered."

As he was talking, the phone rang again. Political Commissar Xu picked it up and greeted Liang Xinyue before handing it over:

"It's Lao Zhou calling, you answer first."

Then Political Commissar Xu went out.

"Xinyue? I'm calling you from the county armed forces department."

"Well, how's it going?"

Liang Xinyue asked.

Zhou Guoliang said:

"I'm sorry, my mother died after she was not saved. She woke up once, saw me, grabbed my hand and called you. We will send her up the mountain tomorrow. I came to the county today to handle some paperwork, so I wanted to call you to let you know."

Liang Xinyue's tears rolled down and she sobbed:

"Kowtowing a few more times on my behalf, how is Big Brother's leg?"

Liang Xinyue was crying and asking about Liang Jun's injury.

Zhou Guoliang comforted him:

"My eldest brother's bone was injured. I took him to the county hospital today to see a good doctor. He said that all he could do was to take care of it and wait for it to heal."
