Chapter 77: Without the leader, I look for the director's son
The person who spoke was Dongfang Xiaoqing, who came to the town to do some shopping. She had to do a lot of preparation for the family dinner on Sunday. She bought a lot of candies, cakes, and fruits, as well as fresh pork, seafood, and peppers.
While having lunch yesterday, Dongfang Xiaoqing carefully observed Zhan Xinyue and found that she particularly liked spicy food.
Therefore, she specially asked the police officer to drive over today, and she immediately bought a big bag of peppers, including green peppers, red peppers, and screw peppers. It was a pity that the people around Yu Island could not eat spicy food, and there were no chili peppers. She planned to go back to find Xu Jinling and pick some from her vegetable garden.
"Aunt Xiaoqing, let me treat you to lunch. I really like the pajamas you bought for me last time."
Zhan Xinyue declined tactfully, as she didn't want to owe Dongfang Xiaoqing a favor.
"There's no reason for me to ask you to treat me. Besides, it's just a small gift, don't take it seriously."
Dongfang Xiaoqing handed the groceries she had just bought to the police officer, gave him ten yuan, and told him to go eat something.
The guard took the money and left with the bags.
Dongfang Xiaoqing held Zhan Xinyue's arm and said, "Let's go and eat first."
After saying that, she glanced at the rustic Xu Jinling beside her, curled her lips imperceptibly, but said enthusiastically: "Sister Xu, you can join us too."
Zhan Xinyue saw Dongfang Xiaoqing's fleeting disdain and broke free from her hand, saying, "Aunt Xiaoqing, Aunt Xu and I have an appointment to eat roadside baked buns at noon. Do you want to come with us?"
Dongfang Xiaoqing glanced at her snow-white dress, thought for a moment, and shook her head. "My stomach isn't very good, so I can't eat street food. Xinyue, come to the entrance of the department store after you finish eating. The car is parked here. I'll take you back."
The car was an off-road vehicle with a large space, but the 28-inch bar from the 1970s was also very large, and it couldn't be folded, so the bicycle couldn't fit in it. Xu Jinling had to ride the bike home.
Zhan Xinyue didn't want to go back with Dongfang Xiaoqing, but she was afraid that after buying the things, Xu Jinling would have to ride a bike to take her and carry the things, and she was worried that she would be too tired.
"Sister Xiaoqing, you don't have to wait for Xinyue. I'll take her back. We still need to buy flower and vegetable seedlings later. The market is dirty and you are wearing a long skirt. Don't get it dirty."
Just when Zhan Xinyue was hesitating, Xu Jinling spoke. She didn't have any other intentions, she just felt that since they came out together, they should go home together.
"Okay." Dongfang Xiaoqing maintained her smile. She didn't like going to the market. Anyway, her husband would invite Sheng Tunan today and ask him and Zhan Xinyue to have dinner at home on Sunday.
In the past, Li Xiangqiang often invited Sheng Tunan to dinner. As long as he was not busy, he would basically come. He would definitely not refuse this time.
Dongfang Xiaoqing gathered her long hair. She was not in a hurry. She was confident. With Li Xiangqiang present, she was sure that Zhan Xinyue would recognize her as her relative even for the sake of Sheng Tunan's career.
After all, not everyone can be the brigade commander's stepdaughter.
Dongfang Xiaoqing maintained the demeanor of the brigade commander's lover and said goodbye to the two of them politely. She was too lazy to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat alone, so she found the police officer who was eating buns and urged him to finish eating quickly and send her back to the family compound.
"Xinyue, don't be fooled by the brigade commander's wife's amiable appearance. She is actually a snob." Xu Jinling also left the department store with Zhan Xinyue. She was a thick-skinned person, but she was not really stupid.
"What do you mean?" Zhan Xinyue asked curiously.
"In the past, there was a division commander in our military region. There were so many military wives in the family compound, and Dongfang Xiaoqing only tried to curry favor with the division commander's wife. She was polite to us on the surface, but in reality she looked down on us."
"Later, the division commander retired. My husband said that the higher-ups felt that this island was relatively safe and there was no need to send another division commander-level leader here. After that, Brigade Commander Li became the most powerful person on the island."
It was sunny outside. Xu Jinling used the newly bought palm leaf fan to fan herself and Zhan Xinyue, talking non-stop.
"Brigade Commander Li is the leader of the island, and his wife is the boss among women. She is becoming more and more arrogant, looking down on everyone. But she is quite good at pleasing Brigade Commander Li, and in front of him, she acts like a little woman."
Xu Jinling concluded: "Such a woman is very smart, knows what she wants, and has a good life. Men will pamper her."
Zhan Xinyue smiled and said nothing.
As they were talking, they came to the steamed buns stall. The one selling the buns was the wife of a battalion commander in the military region, Shi Hong. When she saw Xu Jinling coming over, she greeted her warmly, "Aunt Xu, what do you want to eat today?"
"Give me three buns," Xu Jinling said loudly, and then asked Zhan Xinyue, "Xinyue, how many do you want to eat?"
"Two will do."
"Okay," Shi Hong asked the two to sit on small stools first, and brought two bowls of kelp soup, which was made with pig skin and smelled very fragrant.
"You guys drink the soup first, I'll go make the buns."
Xu Jinling asked Zhan Xinyue to sit for a while. She followed Shi Hong and helped to make kelp soup for other customers who had ordered it.
Zhan Xinyue was thirsty, so she blew on the kelp soup to feel the temperature and found it was not that hot, so she drank two sips.
"Hello, comrade." Suddenly, a male voice that was deliberately lowered to a bubbling sound sounded.
Zhan Xinyue looked up and saw a young man wearing glasses, dressed as a college student, with a fair complexion and a gentle manner, pressing his stomach and said weakly,
"Comrade, I forgot to bring money when I went out today. Now I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts. Can you lend me some money to buy two buns? I will definitely pay you back tomorrow. I'm the son of the principal of Huanyu Primary School. My name is Niu Zhijian."
"I'll lend it to you." Before Zhan Xinyue could answer, a delicate voice rang out, and then a green figure floated over with fifty cents in his hand.
"Comrade Niu, right? Hello. I'm the team leader of the art troupe, Yan Moli. I'll lend you some money. This comrade just got married and is from the countryside, so I'm afraid he won't be that generous. I believe in you, so take it and go buy some buns."
Yan Moli took a break at noon, borrowed the regiment commander's bicycle, and went straight to the post office to mail a letter of denunciation without even changing into her military uniform. Just as she was about to buy two steamed buns for lunch, she saw Niu Zhijian, who looked gentle and poetic, looking for Zhan Xinyue to borrow money.
She had already decided to destroy Sheng Tunan, so of course she had to find another buyer. She had just heard clearly that Niu Zhijian's mother was the principal of an elementary school. What a coincidence, Yan Moli had performed at this school before and knew that the principal's wife was the director of the Education Bureau. Such a high-ranking official family was also very good.
Yan Moli decided to take the initiative. If she couldn't be the captain's wife, she would become the director's daughter-in-law.
