The next day, at dawn, after breakfast, the two of them headed for the vegetable market. As soon as they reached the market entrance, Ruan Ruan heard someone calling Huo Haocheng.
"Captain Huo, what do you want to buy today?" An old man wearing patched clothes called Huo Haocheng affectionately.
"Uncle Li, I brought my wife here to buy some vegetables today." Huo Haocheng brought Ruan Ruan to the old man. The old man's name was Li Dacheng, and he was from a nearby village. One time, he was walking home at night and slipped and broke his leg. Huo Haocheng, who had just returned from a mission, saw him, sent him to the hospital, and helped notify his family. So the old man was very grateful to Huo Haocheng.
"As for the dishes, I have some here. Take a look and just take whatever you like." Uncle Li heard that Huo Haocheng came with his wife and looked at Ruan Ruan behind him. Oh my God, Captain Huo's wife is so beautiful, like a fairy.
"Uncle Li, please weigh and see how much are here. We want them all." Ruan Ruan saw the tomatoes, eggplants, beans and vegetables on Uncle Li's carrying pole. They were all what she wanted to buy. It didn't matter where she bought them. After buying them for the old man, she could go back earlier.
"My girl, I have a lot of dishes here, do you want them all?" Uncle Li thought that Ruan Ruan was taking special care of her because of Huo Haocheng. If she bought so many dishes, they would go bad if she couldn't finish them.
"Uncle Li, Haocheng's comrades-in-arms are coming to our house for dinner tonight, so don't worry, we can finish everything." Ruan Ruan understood what the old man meant, and she explained.
"Oh, as long as you can finish it. There are more than 20 kilograms here. Even if it's 20 kilograms, it's two cents per kilogram. You just need to give me 4 cents," Uncle Li said to Huo Haocheng.
After that, Huo Haocheng bent down and picked up all the vegetables in the basket. Ruan Ruan took out 5 cents and gave it to Uncle Li. She could see that the vegetables were more than this weight. But the old man said so, and she didn't want to take advantage of him, so she added 1 cents. After giving the money, she left without giving them time to say another word.
The two came to the place where meat was sold. All the fat meat had been bought. Ruan Ruan looked at
"Uncle, how much are your pork belly, lean meat, and pig head?" Ruan Ruan didn't want to ask one by one, so she directly asked for the combined price.
"You want this pig's head? Girl, this is not very profitable!" The butcher also met someone selling pig's heads for the first time, and it was a little girl. He knew Huo Haocheng who was following behind him. "Captain Huo, didn't you try to stop him?"
"Brother Yuan, this is my wife, and we all listen to her in our family," Huo Haocheng said to the butcher. The butcher's real name was Yuan Ming, and he was young but had a sturdy build. Because he was a butcher, he looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
"So it's my sister-in-law. Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a gift from Brother Yuan to you. Take care of it, my sister-in-law." After hearing Huo Haocheng's introduction, Yuan Ming turned around, packed the pig's head and threw it to Huo Haocheng.
"Brother Yuan, this won't do. We can't take a single thing from you, and we still need to buy meat. Look at how much it costs. Give it all together. Oh, and this big bone." Ruan Ruan watched Yuan Ming's operation and knew that Huo Haocheng would not really take the pig head for free, so Ruan Ruan simply paid for everything he needed to buy.
"Sister-in-law, there are five pounds of meat, 6 cents per pound. The bones are for you, and the pig's head is one dollar. You give me four dollars in total." After hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Yuan Ming knew that they, the soldiers, could not take things from the common people for free. He also did not want to cause trouble for Huo Haocheng, so he took one dollar.
After paying the money, Ruan Ruan took a look at the vegetable market and saw all the vegetables she could see, then walked over and bought some fruits, and the two went back.
"It seems we should find time to buy a bicycle." Seeing Huo Haocheng carrying so many things and walking such a long way without a bicycle, it is really inconvenient.
"Then let's go together when we have a vacation." Huo Haocheng thought that with a bicycle, he could take Ruan Ruan out to play around the area during his vacation.
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest before you go?"
"Not tired, that's just how heavy it is. When we were training, we all ran while carrying 50 kilograms of things. But you, are you tired?" Huo Haocheng looked at Ruan Ruan, a person who usually didn't like to go out, but today she followed him for such a long way. She was worried about whether she was okay.
"It's okay, I'm not too tired, let's keep going."
When the two returned home, Ruan Ruan immediately poured a large glass of water for herself and Huo Haocheng. Duang, Duang, Duang. After drinking it, Ruan Ruan sighed, "I'm finally alive."
Huo Haocheng, who also finished drinking, said, "My fault, I forgot to bring water when I left."
Huo Haocheng usually only needs 20 minutes to walk a few kilometers, and the round trip plus the time for shopping is less than an hour. But he forgot that Ruan Ruan was with him today, so the round trip plus the time for shopping took more than three hours. It seems that he needs to buy a bicycle as soon as possible.
"You take a rest first, I'll go get all the vegetables out." Huo Haocheng said as he carried the backpack and walked towards the laundry table.
At noon, the two of them cooked some dishes and ate them. After the meal, Ruan Ruan went to rest. After Huo Haocheng cooked the pig's head and meat, he went to the military department. He only took leave in the morning because he had other things to arrange in the afternoon.
After a good rest, Ruan Ruan started to prepare the dishes. She first stewed the pork ribs and radishes, and then started to wash the other ingredients.
"Ruan Ruan, sister Ruan, are you at home?" Wang Xia felt that it was about time and brought Aunt Xie Lianhua over.
"Sister, I'm coming, I'm coming," Hearing Wang Xia's voice, Ruan Ruan stood up, shook the water off her hands, and ran to open the door.
"Sister, aunt, come in quickly." Ruan Ruan thought that Wang Xia was the only one who came first, but she didn't expect that there was an older person behind her. She was a little stunned for a moment.
"Sister, this is Aunt Xie, Commander Feng's lover," Wang Xia introduced the two of them. "Aunt, this is Captain Huo's lover, Ruan Ruan, how about what I call handsome?"
"Auntie, hello, I'm Ruan Ruan," Ruan Ruan said politely to Xie Lianhua.
"She's a pretty girl. No wonder Haocheng is thinking about her every day." The first time Xie Lianhua saw Ruan Ruan, she thought the girl was so beautiful. If she were her own daughter, she would have spoiled her every day. She also understood why Huo Haocheng was in a hurry to go back and get married. If he didn't go back earlier, what would happen if someone took her away?
"Aunt, sister, please go in quickly, don't stand here." Ruan Ruan felt a little embarrassed by the straightforward looks of the two people.
"Yes, yes, let's go in."
"Aunt, sister, have a drink of water first. It's hard for you to come and help me." Ruan Ruan poured a glass of water for them and added some sugar.
"The water here is just like you. It makes me feel sweet just by looking at you."
"If you like, come often."
"Okay, now that we've drunk the water, let's get started." Xie Lianhua forgot to leave the kitchen.
"If you need any help, just let us know." Wang Xia followed him into the kitchen.
"I'm washing vegetables now, so please help me, aunt and sister. I'll braise the pork head first." The meat had already been washed and cut by Huo Haocheng, so Ruan Ruan just had to cook it.
After that, Ruan Ruan was responsible for cooking the dishes that would take a long time to cook, while Wang Xia and Aunt Xie were responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables.
