After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

"What did you say you came here for? Of course you came to buy things. How could you have come just to see you?" Wu Xiaodong, who was following behind Xia Qingning, said to her directly.

Hearing that she was here to buy something, He Shanshan became even more unhappy, with a long face, and asked:

"What are you buying?"

"Why do you buy anything? It's not your pig intestines." Wu Xiaodong retorted to her again.

A saleswoman at the supply and marketing cooperative became pregnant, so they hired He Shanshan as a temporary worker and assigned her to the area selling pig offal. She was disgusted by the smell, but had no choice but to do it as this was a job opportunity she had finally gotten.

She knew that Wu Xiaodong was mocking her, but she had no way to refute him and could only give him a cold look.

Xia Qingning ignored her and went straight to the daily necessities area and said to the salesperson inside:

"Comrade, help me get an enamel basin..."

"Why did you buy the enamel basin?" Before she finished speaking, He Shanshan interrupted her and said confidently:

"You are not allowed to buy a basin if there is one at home."

There is a basin at home, but it is used for washing vegetables, dishes, and face... Every time Xia Qingning washes her face, she has to wash the basin several times first.

He Shanshan has her own washbasin, but the original body doesn't have one, and now she is not allowed to buy one. Xia Qingning's delicate eyebrows were tinged with anger, and she asked in a cold tone:

"I spend my money to buy my basin. What does it have to do with you?" Then he turned to the salesperson inside and said:

"Give me the best quality one." Just as she finished speaking, Xia Qingning thought of something else:

"Oh no, take two."

"You..." He Shanshan didn't expect that Xia Qingning, who had always been timid, would dare to talk back to her. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment. When she reacted and was about to explode, she heard Xia Qingning say to the salesperson:

"Please bring me the vanishing cream, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap, and two towels, too."

Seeing her buy so many things at once, He Shanshan's face almost turned green with anger, but she didn't dare to say no to selling to her in front of other salespeople.

Just as I was getting angry, I suddenly realized: No, where did she get the money to buy so many things?

After thinking for a while, she finally reacted. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Xia Qingning, asking anxiously:

"Have you received your salary?"

"Does it have anything to do with you whether I get paid or not?" Xia Qingning glanced at her and ignored her, but walked back to the counter selling fabrics.

There were a lot of cloths displayed in all kinds of materials and patterns, neatly arranged.

Although Xia Qingning had money in her hand, she only had two feet of cloth coupons, which was not enough to buy even one meter of cloth. After hesitating for a moment, she said to the salesperson:

"Give me one foot each of this blue floral and lavender floral dacron."

Dacron has bright colors and a soft texture, making it perfect for making headwear.

He Shanshan could no longer remain calm when she saw her buying such expensive fabric, but her mother Wang Mingfang promised her that after Xia Qingning paid her salary this month, she would buy her the red Dacron skirt from the department store.

Now that Xia Qingning has bought all these and spent all her money, what should she do with her red dress?

She also wants to wear that skirt to a blind date.

Thinking of this, she could no longer care about anything else. She rushed from the counter to Xia Qingning and shouted:

"No, no, you are not allowed to buy anything."

Xia Qingning glanced at the furious He Shanshan, and without arguing with her, she turned to a woman in her forties at the counter and said:

"What's wrong with the salesperson in your supply and marketing cooperative? Don't they intend to sell things to customers?"

That elder sister looked smart and capable, and it was obvious that she was a leader there.

Ever since He Shanshan stopped Xia Qingning from buying an enamel basin, the eldest sister's face turned bad.

Now seeing her being so rude to customers, he directly scolded her:

"He Shanshan, what's wrong with you? Temporary workers should also have some professionalism. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to come tomorrow."

"No, no." He Shanshan was anxious and blurted out:

"This is my...sister-in-law. Her salary can't be used to buy these."

"Why can't you use it to buy these?" Xia Qingning seemed to be amused by her words and asked back:

"If I don't buy what I want with my salary, should I buy what you want?"

Having her thoughts exposed, He Shanshan became angry and yelled at Xia Qingning:

"you shut up."

"You should shut up." The elder sister at the side immediately scolded He Shanshan, her eyes full of warnings, her face extremely ugly, and she said in a cold voice:

"Don't make trouble here, go sell your pig organs."

They are the people's shop and are supposed to serve the people. How could they allow a temporary worker to do whatever he wants under her nose?

Under the majesty of the elder sister, He Shanshan shut up reluctantly, and walked back to the counter in silence and great anger.

"You want two feet, right?" The eldest sister turned to Xia Qingning and said.

"Well, one foot each for blue florals and lavender florals." Xia Qingning replied.

"This cloth is much more expensive than cotton. It takes at least four feet to make a piece of clothing. Two feet is not enough." The elder sister kindly reminded.

"Sister Qingning, don't you have cloth coupons? I have some here." Wu Xiaodong on the side said hurriedly, and was about to take out his cloth coupons and give them to Xia Qingning.

"No, I don't make clothes." Xia Qingning waved her hand and said.

"Okay, one foot is one dollar and fifty cents, two feet is three dollars." The eldest sister measured it with a ruler, picked up the scissors skillfully, cut two pieces of cloth and wrapped them up.

He Shanshan watched from afar, her heart bleeding at the thought that three dollars was gone just like that. She wished she could stare a hole in Xia Qingning with her eyes.

That's the money she used to buy the red dress!

"Comrade, do you need anything else?" the eldest sister looked at Xia Qingning and asked.

Xia Qingning was about to say no, but after thinking for a while she said:

"Two more popsicles please."

"We have three flavors of popsicles, banana for 3 cents, mung bean for 4 cents, and milk for 5 cents. Which one do you want?" asked the eldest sister.

Xia Qingning knew that He Shanshan must be looking at her now. She came here today on purpose to spend money in front of her. She smiled and said generously:

"Then let's go with the most expensive one."

She actually dared to ask for the most expensive one! He Shanshan looked at Xia Qingning steadily, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

"Two enamel basins cost 4 yuan, daily toiletries cost 6 yuan, vanishing cream shampoo cost 1 yuan, Dacron cost 8 yuan, and popsicles cost 1 yuan, a total of 4 yuan." After the elder sister finished calculating the bill, she looked at Xia Qingning and continued:

"Your ticket is ready. Go over there to pay, then come to the front to pick up all your stuff."

Xia Qingning responded "OK", then walked to the cashier, took out a handful of change and two cloth coupons from her bag, and handed them to the cashier.

He Shanshan looked at the money she handed over and tried hard to resist the urge to snatch it. This was the money she wanted to buy clothes, and she was so extravagant that she spent more than ten yuan in one go!

When she returns, she will definitely tell Wang Mingfang to confiscate all of Xia Qingning's salary and not leave her a single cent.

Xia Qingning paid the bill, went to the side to get her shopping, put everything into her net bag, and handed a popsicle to Wu Xiaodong:

"Here, brother Xiaodong, I'll treat you to a meal."

Wu Xiaodong didn't expect that he would also be included. He was a little flattered and grinned and said:

"Thank you, Sister Qing Ning."

After saying that, he took the popsicle, tore open the wrapping paper in front of He Shanshan, put it in his mouth, and started eating while shaking his head.

He Shanshan's teeth were almost broken when she saw this scene. She usually couldn't bear to buy milk-flavored popsicles, but Xia Qingning actually treated others to one in front of her. It was really infuriating.

Looking at He Shanshan's angry and depressed expression, Xia Qingning was very satisfied. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she and Wu Xiaodong walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wu Xiaodong was riding the bike in front with the things he bought hanging on the handlebars. Xia Qingning was sitting on the back seat, tearing open the outer wrapping paper. The popsicle was steaming cold and she took a bite. In addition to the coolness, it also had the smoothness and sweetness of milk. It was really delicious.

"Sister Qing Ning, why are you different from before?"

Wu Xiaodong, who was riding a bike in front, suddenly asked, "Xia Qingning was so abnormal today that he often doubted whether this Sister Qingning was the one he knew before."

"Really? What's the difference?" Xia Qingning replied casually. Of course she knew it was different, because she and her original body were not the same person.

"Everywhere is different." Wu Xiaodong said, and after thinking for a while, he continued:

"But you look really good the way you are now."

Xia Qingning smiled, feeling a little guilty, and didn't want to discuss this topic with him anymore. After a moment, she said:

"Brother Xiaodong, can I discuss something with you?"

"What's the matter, Sister Qing Ning, tell me."

"Can I take your car to and from get off work from now on? I'll pay for your fare." Xia Qingning said.

My home is not close to the textile factory, and it is time-consuming and laborious to walk back home after a hard day's work.

She also thought about buying a bicycle, but if nothing unexpected happened, she would only work in the factory for another month before joining the army. Buying a bicycle would be a waste as she couldn't take it with her.

Besides, she doesn't know how to ride a bicycle now, and it will take her some time to learn if she buys one. After much thought, she decides that it is most cost-effective to ride Wu Xiaodong's bike.

"Of course." Wu Xiaodong agreed immediately:

"You don't need to pay for the transportation. Just buy me a popsicle once a week. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and eat it in front of He Shanshan. Haha..."

Listening to his jokes, Xia Qingning really started to like this cheerful brother Xiaodong more and more.

After a while, the two returned to the yard where they lived. Xia Qingning jumped out of the car, said "thank you" to Wu Xiaodong, and walked home.

After walking a short distance, she saw Mai Miao running over in a hurry. He pulled her towards home with excitement on his face, saying enviously as he walked:

"Qing Ning, go home and see what good things Brother Jing Zhe bought for you."
