The military camp is on the mountain, a bit far from the town below.
In addition, the location is remote and there are no buses.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for military wives to travel, the army will arrange buses to pick them up every time they go to the market.
This day is the same.
It was only six o'clock in the morning, and the vehicle was already waiting at the gate of the compound.
Jiang Ning packed up everything early, put a basket on his back, closed the door to the yard, and set off happily.
When she got in the car, she realized that she was still a little late.
The other sisters-in-law were more anxious than she was. They got in the car early and waited for the time to drive off.
A twenty-seater minibus was almost full.
Since Sister Xu's introduction last time, the other sisters-in-law have become more familiar with Jiang Ning. In addition, these days, they have never seen each other without looking up.
As soon as they saw Jiang Ning coming, they immediately greeted him warmly.
"Sister Ning, come and sit on my sister-in-law's side. This position is good. It won't be bumpy. It's comfortable to sit on."
The person who greeted him was Li Guihua, the lover of the second battalion commander.
She was sitting in the front row, next to the third battalion commander's lover.
They both leaned to the sides, and a space of about ten centimeters was opened in the middle for Jiang Ning to sit.
Although this is well intentioned...
But Jiang Ning really didn't want to be sandwiched between two people.
Jiang Ning raised his head and glanced around the car. Almost all seats were occupied, except for the last row, which had one empty seat.
She also saw a familiar person.
It's Wang Chunxia.
I don’t know if the other sisters-in-law did it on purpose. Several people would rather sit together, but no one wanted to sit next to Wang Chunxia.
Jiang Ning said.
"Sister-in-law Li, there is still room in the back row. I will sit in the back row."
"Sister Ning, why are you going to do it with her? She has a strange smell..."
Li Guihua muttered.
But Jiang Ning had already strode over.
When Wang Chunxia watched Jiang Ning walking over, her eyes widened unconsciously, her face filled with shock.
Jiang Ning didn't just sit down gracefully.
And she even greeted Wang Chunxia with a smile.
"Sister Chunxia, didn't we agree before that we would go to the market together? Why don't you come to me today?"
Wang Chunxia was shocked again.
She asked hesitantly, "...do you remember?"
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Of course you remember what I said. Don't let us get separated when we get to the city. You have to take me to the market."
Wang Chunxia was overjoyed at this time.
She originally thought that Jiang Ning's previous words were just polite.
Such a fair-skinned and pink city girl is married to Captain Qin. There are so many educated sisters-in-law in the compound. How could she be willing to be with a rustic rural woman?
But he didn't expect that what Jiang Ning said was true.
Wang Chunxia smiled excitedly and said loudly, "Okay! Let's go to the market together. You buy something, and my sister-in-law will help you compare. I am very strong, and I can carry a sack of more than 100 kilograms."
After talking.
Wang Chunxia felt embarrassed again and blushed slightly.
Jiang Ning still smiled softly and said, "Then I'll thank Sister Chunxia in advance."
A group of people around them all looked at Jiang Ning and Wang Chunxia in shock.
I have no idea why these two people with completely different styles and temperaments can sit together and still have such a happy conversation.
It's...so strange!
…
The car drove all the way down the mountain.
The town at the foot of the mountain was much larger than Jiang Ning thought.
There are not only supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, teahouses, etc. in the city, but also department stores.
The whole street was bustling with people.
This was far beyond Jiang Ning's expectations.
She thought it was just a small county town in a remote mountainous area.
besides.
There is also a special farmer's market, which is a place for people who come to the market to do small business.
Inside the market, there were even more people moving around, as if people from the surrounding villages were all here.
There are even managers in uniforms around the market.
It was an eye-opener for Jiang Ning.
and……
"Sister Chunxia, it's not like this is not allowed now... In my hometown, the control is very strict, and only small businesses can be done on the black market."
"When I first came here, I was shocked. In my hometown, if you are caught, you will be locked up in the police station. Later, I heard my old Zhou say, what is this... characteristic... specialization Management. There are many ethnic minorities in the southwest, and going to the market every month is an ethnic custom here, so it is allowed to remain."
After listening to Wang Chunxia's explanation, Jiang Ning finally understood.
With such an open farmer's market, it will be much more convenient for her to start a small business in the future, without having to hide like in the black market.
This place is really nice!
Jiang Ning happily noted this down.
But she was not in a hurry to go to the market, but said to Wang Chunxia.
"Sister Chunxia, can you go to the post office first? I want to call my parents."
"If there's anything I can't do, I'm going to remit money to my hometown. It's just right for us to go together."
Wang Chunxia was so happy that the dialect from her hometown appeared again.
But Jiang Ning didn't care at all.
The two quickly arrived at the post office.
Jiang Ning went to make a phone call, and Wang Chunxia went to write a remittance order.
Making phone calls is a luxury these days, and a phone call costs two yuan.
Jiang Ning thought about Gu Yunshu's advice and was still willing to spend the money.
But after the call was made, it couldn't be connected.
The post office staff reminded: "Comrade, your call is too far away. It has to pass through several wiring stations in the middle. If the signal cannot be connected, it will not be able to get through."
"Thank you, comrade. I won't make any more calls. Please give me a telegram slip."
Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and send a telegram instead.
Telegrams are worth every word, and you can't say too many words.
Mainly to make Gu Yunshu and Jiang Yuanshan feel at ease.
Jiang Ning also remitted fifty yuan together.
After doing this, when Jiang Ning was about to leave the post office counter, the corner of his eye was attracted by a flash of bright red.
She took a closer look!
His clear eyes suddenly sparkled!
The light in his eyes was completely shining with gold.
It was like a mountain of gold was placed in front of her!
Jiang Ning walked over excitedly, staring at the square red stamp, so happy that he almost wanted to scream.
Especially after seeing the line on the stamp clearly.
"The mountains and rivers all over the country are red"
This is not a piece of gold! Mountain!
This stamp, a few years later, will become a legendary artifact in the stamp industry, worth up to one million yuan!
But now, its price tag is only eight cents!
