The Pretty Military Wife

By noon, when they had lunch and returned to the county town, a lot of dishes had been sold in the restaurant.

Liang Xinyue also taught them how to count the food money spent in a day.

Sister Liao taught me how to calculate the amount on the delivery bill and how to account for it.

Moreover, there is the Agricultural Bureau next to here, and we have also made arrangements with the staff there, so if they need help, they can come and borrow my phone.

Houses in the city are more expensive, so the shop had to be bigger. A smaller space was left at the back to make a partition where they could cook. They had to cook for themselves.

There is also the accommodation, which is on the top of the vegetable store. It is a partitioned building. During the day everyone is busy downstairs, and at night several young men line up in a row upstairs, like a big row. This is the temporary arrangement.

When conditions are good, we will rent a house for them and they can take turns to look after the store.

However, the boys all grew up in the same village and they prefer to live together.

Vegetables from the city were delivered every other day, and the countryside was fully prepared. There was more than enough vegetables.

The next day, they went to the neighboring county again. This time Liu Xiang was the store manager. When opening this store, Liang Xinyue brought Liu Xiang with her to look for a store.

The location of this store was chosen to be close to several units. When they started to decorate the store, they began to distribute flyers to the canteen managers and leaders of several surrounding units.

What impressed Liang Xinyue the most was that during the few days of renovation, Liu Xiang had become friends with the canteen management offices of several units.

For the older ones, she calls them uncle and aunt in a very affectionate manner, and every time she goes to someone's place to win their favor, she does so with diligence.

She is used to doing housework at home, so when she goes out, she also has work in her eyes.

When she arrived at the cafeteria, she would help clean up, wash dishes, move things, etc. Anyway, she would not touch the food on her own initiative. But she did a lot of work.

There was no leader who disliked this girl. Liu Xiang moved into the hotel three days earlier than Liang Xinyue and the others.

The population of Guliang County is not as large as that of Xihuai County, and the land of Guliang County is more Gobi than that of Xihuai.

Therefore, the demand for the vegetables here is quite high. Even Sister Liao said that some people from their county have come to her store to buy vegetables just to taste the fresh food.

Liu Xiang had already advertised to all the neighbors on this street in advance. So when the delivery truck arrived, they found that Liu Xiang's store was still empty, but the front door was full of people.

Some older people lined up consciously, and some younger people saw the dishes arriving and came over to help unload them from the car.

Seeing the baskets of fresh, green vegetables, everyone was delighted.

While serving the dishes, Liu Xiang did not forget to say to the agitated uncles and aunts:

"Dear uncles and aunts, don't worry, let's just buy according to the queue just now, rest assured, we guarantee we have it all, you see, it's such a big cart, if I don't sell some to you, I will have to sleep on this vegetable tonight."

Everyone laughed again when they heard this. One of the baskets tilted and a few eggplants fell out. An old lady came over and helped pick them up:

"Oh, what a pity! The last time I had such good eggplant was last year."

Liang Xinyue and a few others helped put the dishes on the shelves, and wrote down the prices while they were cleaning.

The operating steps are the same and are written on a small blackboard.

While Liang Xinyue was writing, she heard an old lady saying that the price was not expensive and was fair.

Liang Xinyue smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Auntie. We don't grow them for sale by individuals. We grow them in Xinshui Village and sell them. The price is not only this price now, but also in winter."

Liang Xinyue's words caught the attention of the uncles and aunts:

"Comrade, you said you have vegetables in winter?"

"Yes, we can't just sell in the summer if we open a vegetable store. Don't worry, we have been approved by the city's Agricultural Bureau. We can open a store to sell vegetables and guarantee the year-round supply of vegetables for the entire county. We will also have vegetables in the winter. We tried it in Xihuai County last winter and it was pretty good."

While Liang Xinyue was busy tidying up, she also told everyone about the situation in the store.

Everyone was passing the order to each other, and by the time they had laid out the dishes and were ready to open for business, people who wanted to buy groceries had lined up across the street.

Liu Xiang shouted:

"Everyone, don't worry, buy with confidence. We will bring a large truckload of this size every other day, so you don't have to buy and store. Eat fresh vegetables. We will bring another large truckload the day after tomorrow. Remember to come and buy then."

To be honest, the price of vegetables is really not expensive nowadays. A full day's food for each person only costs about two dollars.

But even so, Liang Xinyue still helped here until noon when there were fewer people around.

We did an inventory and found that more than 700 were sold.

It sells much better than in the city.

On the way back, Liang Xinyue and Director Ren talked about Liu Xiang:

"This girl is a talented person. She only came here three days in advance to help with the decoration. As a result, she used this time to travel around almost the entire county."

"She has friends she recognizes on almost every street, and people greet her wherever she goes."

"She's a natural extrovert and a social person. She's good at promoting herself, so the ones in the county sell better than those in the city."

Director Ren also nodded and said:

"I can see that. I didn't expect a little girl from the village to be so powerful."

Liang Xinyue didn't dare to think about how good Liu Xiang's future prospects would be. She could just keep an eye on it and it would be better to pull it up if she could.

After running outside for several days in a row, when Liang Xinyue returned home, little Jiajia clung to her and refused to get off, and the other two wanted to stick to her even more.

Just after I sorted out the two shops, Xiao Shun came back. He came to pick up Qiu Yue'e and the two children.

When Xiao Shun heard that Zhou Guoliang had been on a mission for almost two months, he frowned. He comforted Liang Xinyue softly:

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. He went alone. It must not be a dangerous mission. According to regulations, missions with a certain degree of danger will not be carried out alone. It's just that it may be a confidential job, so there is no news."

Liang Xinyue also thought of this possibility and nodded.

Look at the two little boys who can now walk with the help of the wall. I’m afraid that when their father comes back, the two children won’t recognize him.

Xiao Shun only stayed for two days, and Qiu Yue'e and the others packed their things. It was Xiao Wei who came to see them off.

This is what Liang Xinyue asked Political Commissar Xu for. It means that Xiao Wei and Qiu Yue'e can say goodbye.
