The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 36 Buying a House for the First Time

When I entered the cafeteria, the guys who had just snatched the food were eating together, fighting over a bottle of beef sauce.

When they saw Shen Zhensheng coming over, still holding the sauce in his hand, the guys who didn't get to eat surrounded him and said, "Captain, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go get you some, please sit down."

Shen Zhensheng scolded with a smile, "Boy, you are smart. Go get some food. I will give you some sauce later."

The guys ran faster than anyone else and brought the meal back in a short while. Shen Zhensheng put the sauce on the table. As soon as he opened it, a fragrant aroma wafted out, and the soldiers from other battalions came over to smell the aroma.

"What are you doing, Xiao Wuzi? This is the sauce our battalion commander's wife sent over. It's made by our sister-in-law. Don't give it to our battalion. We don't have enough to eat."

Xiao Wuzi and a few others came over and said, "What's yours or mine? We are all revolutionary fighters. Captain Shen is also my relative and sister-in-law is my sister-in-law. Captain Shen, give her a bite. The child is still growing."

Shen Zhensheng laughed heartily and put some sauce into the rice. "Okay, okay, the rest is yours. Don't fight over it. Everyone have a few bites."

Jiang Tao also came to eat with a bottle of sauce that he had snatched from Shen Zhensheng, and sat with Shen Zhensheng, "Brother, this sauce made by my sister-in-law is so delicious, it smells so good that I'll fall over."

"It's delicious, but eat sparingly. There's no portion for you in the dormitory, so just give up."

"No, we are good revolutionary brothers who eat and live together. How can you do this to me? Give me another bottle. I see those guys are enjoying the jerky, but I didn't get any."

"What the hell do you want to eat? That's made by my wife. If you want to eat it, ask your wife to make it."

Jiang Tao subconsciously said Shen Zhensheng's words, "Let my wife...", and then reacted, "You are so good, Shen Zhensheng, I don't have a wife, you bully us single dogs."

"Eat it quickly."

Shen Zhensheng's heart had never felt so warm because of Xiao Baoer. His wife's cooking skills were really good and the food was so delicious. Even the big pot rice that usually didn't taste good became fragrant.

Xiao Baoer had no idea that her craftsmanship had brought honor to Shen Zhensheng, and she was busy making money.

Xiao Baoer came to the town again today, one to send the translated books, and the other to send a letter and photos to Shen Zhensheng. She also made some food that could be stored and sent it over together. She also sent a telegram: the photos and letters have been sent, wait.

After walking around the town, I came across a yard for sale by chance. The owner was transferred to the city for work and wanted to sell the house. The furniture inside was all new and the owner didn't want to take it with him. The yard was large, with many rooms and a well, so it was convenient to use water.

After negotiating the price, the deal was finally settled at 680 yuan. Xiao Baoer decided to temporarily use this place for material transactions.

After the house was decided, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative. This time, Xie Lan wanted more things than before.

"Sister, this time I need 1000 kilograms of rice and flour, 500 kilograms of pork, 15 watches, 500 kilograms of apples, and 200 kilograms of mutton."

"Okay, I just came from my relative's place. Rice, flour, watches, and apples are all very expensive, but mutton is only 9 cents a pound."

"Okay, sister, don't worry, I'll give you the money in a moment. Thanks to you, I've made a lot of money recently."

"By the way, Sister Lan, I have a batch of silk scarves and wool here. Do you have any? These things sell well."

"Girl, how much do you have? To be honest, I was planning to ask you later. The weather is getting colder, and many people will buy wool and other things."

"As for the silk scarves, I'll give you 20 this time. You can try to see if you can sell them. A silk scarf can be sold for about 10 yuan. I'll give you 8 yuan per piece. The quality of this batch of wool yarn is relatively good. It can be sold for 5 yuan per pound. Like the wool yarn and silk scarves, I'll keep 8 yuan profit for both. I'll sell them for 1 yuan per pound. Do you think the price is acceptable?"

"Yes, yes, sister. I know you are a kind person. Don't worry, I am not a fool. I need 50 kilograms of yarn first."

Are you kidding? Xie Lan made her fortune by relying on the supplies in Xiao Baoer's hands. How could she not agree with her? Besides, Xiao Baoer always gave her huge profits.

"Okay, Sister Lan, I'll give you an address and I'll leave the goods there for you. You can go pick them up in the evening. Go over and take a look later. I'll wait for you there."

Xiao Baoer told her the address of the house she had just bought. Sister Lan went to prepare the money, and Xiao Baoer went over to prepare the things first.

I put everything Sister Lan wanted in an empty room, and after a while Sister Lan knocked on the door.

"Sister Lan, this room contains the things you want. Here is the key to the house. Remember to come back at night to move the things away. Don't let anyone spot you."

"Okay, sister, this is 4550 yuan, sister, please click."

"No need to order, I trust Sister Lan," Xiao Baoer casually put the money in her bag, but actually put it in the space.

Xiao Baoer took a set of skin care products from the space and asked Xiao Grape to change the packaging.

"Sister Lan, this is high-end stuff from Hai City. I'll give you a set. Try it first."

Xie Lan's eyes narrowed with joy. This was a high-end product from Hai City. It sold for a huge price, much more expensive than vanishing cream. She had never seen it in the supply and marketing cooperative, and this girl actually gave her a set directly.

"Thank you, sister. I'll take it."

"By the way, Sister Lan, do you know if there are people in this town who want to sell jobs? Like a steel factory or a glass factory or something like that."

"Sister, there was one some time ago, but I haven't heard about it recently. Let me find out for you. You can probably find out next time you come. I'll ask my mother-in-law to find out. She's the women's director of the neighborhood, so it'll be easy for her to find out."

"Thank you, sister. You've been a great help."

"What's up, girl, buying a job for your man?"

"No, sister, it's my brother-in-law. He's dating a girl who's an educated youth. But she doesn't have a job either. I'm not a good match for her. He wants to get her a job so that he can explain to his parents."

"Sister, you are such a great person. I like dealing with people like you. You are open-minded."

"Sister, please stop flattering me. I am just solving a problem for my parents-in-law. My husband is not at home, so I am doing my filial duty on his behalf."

Ever since Xiao Baoer found out that the three children were hers, she truly regarded Shen Zhensheng as her own man from the bottom of her heart, so she was willing to take care of his parents and siblings as much as possible.

Of course, the premise is that they don't go too far. If they step on Xiao Baoer's bottom line, I'm sorry, I won't serve you.

"Sister Lan, please ask about jobs and the sales of sewing machines and bicycles. I can get a batch recently, and you can make more money."

"Okay, sister, don't worry, I'll take it to heart."

After the two of them finished discussing, Xiao Baoer went to the recycling station.
