"You few weaklings, you may be afraid of Director Qi, but I am not. This is not the old society, one thing is another, I don't believe that our women's affairs can be involved in men's work.

We have all been in this hospital for five or six years, right? I don't need to say anything about that bitch Ji Sisi, but Huang Qiaomei, that ungrateful bastard, rode in the same car with us to the hospital. We have been together for five years, five years!"

Wang Cuicui spread out her five fingers, speaking in dissatisfaction, "You all saw it just now, right? There are only three people with high school education among so many people, and two of them are newcomers, each one more difficult than the other. They will definitely look down on us even more after they get jobs!"

The others looked at each other, with helplessness in their eyes.

You don't care. Your man is responsible for purchasing things in the hospital. What does it have to do with you?

One is the director’s bride, and the other is the director’s daughter-in-law.

They are not crazy. If it weren't for the overall situation and their past friendship, they wouldn't want to try to stop the fight.

"At worst, we can just go around it in the future. Ji Sisi and we don't live together anyway."

"Yes, there's no need to be so angry. It's not good for your health. Sister Qiaomei said that the requirements were set by the leaders. She has no right to make the decision. If she has any selfish motives, you can ask the people in Huaihua Commune and you will know. Don't think too much about it."

"Just look down on us if you want to. We don't live by the looks of others."

Seeing that no one supported her, Wang Cuicui became even angrier. She glared at a few people.

Today is the day for everyone to go to the market. On the first of every month, the hospital will rent a bus for family members to use for shopping. They go there before 8 am and return at 1 pm.

Ji Sisi walked to the gate of the courtyard in the morning light. A blue and white bus had already stopped at the gate. The bus was not big, and there was a No. 21 bus sign on the left.

The car was bustling with activity. There were no seats left, so those who came later could only stand. The space except for the seats was occupied by backpacks. Seven or eight backpacks were stacked together like Russian dolls.

A familiar face of Ji Sisi asked her, "Sisi, why don't you carry the backpack?"

"I haven't bought one yet. I'll go to the county town and buy one later."

Ji Sisi replied to her that this was indeed part of her plan. In addition, she also had to buy some food, decide on the menu for the wedding banquet, and buy newspapers. The newspapers would help her understand this era as quickly as possible and would be of great benefit to tomorrow's exam.

"Shufen, you don't have the right to worry about this. When Director Qi left, he took Sisi to the city to buy some things. I heard that the car couldn't even fit all the stuff. There were so many things."

The others followed suit.

Zhang Shufang suddenly realized and smiled naively, "That's true, but Sisi, you should also be from Kyoto, right? I heard that Director Qi graduated from Kyoto University and his family is also in Kyoto."

Ji Sisi found an open space near the car window and opened it to get some fresh air.

"I'm not from Kyoto. Oh, and I haven't gotten to know my sisters-in-law properly yet."

Ji Sisi cleared her throat and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ji Sisi. I'm from Jianghai City, Hai Province. I'm eighteen years old this year and graduated from Jianghai High School. I'll trouble my sisters-in-law to take care of me in the future."

After hearing Ji Sisi's introduction, others also began to introduce themselves.

There were more than thirty people in the car. After a round of rotation, Ji Sisi remembered most of them.

When it was Wang Cuicui's turn, she snorted coldly, turned her head away and stopped looking at everyone, getting angry alone.

Guo Xiaolan also took the opportunity to introduce herself.

The car started while the introduction was going on. Zhang Shufen was sitting very close to Ji Sisi and kept trying to talk to her along the way.

Zhang Shufen asked curiously, "You are from Hai Province, how come you know Director Qi? These two provinces are not close."

"The elders knew each other and arranged the marriage for them." Ji Sisi didn't say much, and couldn't find a better excuse to deal with them.

Zhang Shufang's eyes widened, her big round eyes full of surprise.

"Is this true? Seeing Director Qi's worthless look, I thought you two were in a free love relationship. I never thought it was an arranged marriage. It's rare for a couple to have such a deep relationship as you two did when you were engaged as children."

Li Yulian, who was sitting next to Zhang Shufang, had an auntie smile on her face.

"I think it's normal. Sisi is so beautiful, who wouldn't be happy if she married her? They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly changed, and suddenly everyone was praising how well-matched Ji Sisi and Qi Yan were.

Ji Sisi leaned against the window, the wind blowing in and ruffling her hair. She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears. Her fair and delicate face turned pink because of the teasing. She pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Zhang Shufang tilted her head to admire the beauty and sighed, "I couldn't explain the way Director Qi looked at Sisi before, but now I understand. It's just like the candied sweet potato I made, sweet and candied."

After hearing Zhang Shufang's description, Ji Sisi burst out laughing.

With someone to chat with, Ji Sisi felt that the two-hour drive was not so painful.

The car stopped at the station, one kilometer away from the supply and marketing cooperative and grocery store.

When we got off the bus, the driver stood up and emphasized, "The bus will leave at one o'clock. Sisters-in-law, please come back early."

Ji Sisi followed the group to the state-owned vegetable store, which supplied the freshest vegetables every day. If you went too late, you would only get the leftovers.

The group of people went straight to the vegetable store with a very determined goal.

When Ji Sisi arrived, there was already a long queue. Zhang Shufen ran fast and was in the middle.

Ji Sisi also joined the queue. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was ten o'clock.

When she was almost at Ji Sisi's side, she looked at the time again. It was almost eleven o'clock. It took her an hour just to buy groceries.

Ji Sisi put the vegetables into the net bag and hurried to the meat stall opposite.

Meat was more popular than vegetables. When it was Ji Sisi's turn, there was no pork left. Only a pile of offal and large bones were left.

"Comrade, you're too late. Take a look at what you want. We can pack them all up for you at a price of one yuan per pound."

The butcher pointed at a pile of offal and asked Ji Sisi.

When the people queuing behind Ji Sisi saw that these were the only ones left, they all showed looks of disgust.

Someone saw Ji Sisi really looking at it carefully and started to talk to her, "Comrade, these are just some internal organs. They are not delicious without meat, but they need meat tickets. You don't really want to buy them, do you?"

Ji Sisi looked and saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties, with small eyes and single eyelids, wearing the uniform of a state-owned factory.

The woman advised Ji Sisi not to take it, but her eyes were glued to the pile of internal organs.

"If you don't want it, just leave. If you want to buy meat, come early tomorrow. We don't have any meat today."

The salesperson was impatient. Not many people were willing to buy the offal, especially the pig intestines. It took a long time to sell them. If you were unlucky, you might not be able to sell them, but it would be a pity to throw them away.

The salesperson was depressed because his working hours were extended just because of such a small thing.
