The supply of food and daily necessities on the island is more complete than Xu Wantang imagined, including non-staple food stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.
In addition, the country began to restore and develop individual industry and commerce a few years ago. There are still sporadic small shops opened by individuals on the island. The types of operations are not many, but there is no problem in ensuring basic living supplies.
In his two lifetimes, Xu Wantang experienced the joy of shopping with a girl for the first time.
Everyone is very attentive and will put forward many pertinent opinions. When encountering self-employed stalls or shops that can bargain, they will also help negotiate prices. The whole process is lively and comfortable.
Xu Wantang finally bought a lot of things. In addition to making up for the daily necessities that were missing at home and buying ingredients, he also bought a lot of local specialties for Sister Lin from the radio station at affordable prices.
Xu Wantang went to the post office again and sent all the specialties to the address Sister Lin had given before, and then the group headed home.
"Everyone helped me save so much money today, so I'll invite you to my house for dinner!" Xu Wantang suggested.
Xu Wantang originally wanted to invite Sister Xiaojuan to dinner. It would be better to invite just one person. It would be more lively if there were more people.
The military wives were also very happy and said one after another,
"There is such a good thing!"
"Then we won't be polite!"
Luo Xiaojuan did not join in the booing, but instead moved closer to Xu Wantang, as if she was afraid that Xu Wantang would lose face in front of others. While looking at Xu Wantang's delicate face, she asked suspiciously in a low voice, "Can you do it?"
"Just take a look." Xu Wantang said.
Although she got Xu Wantang's affirmative answer, Luo Xiaojuan's doubts did not dissipate.
Xu Wantang looked and dressed like a wealthy capitalist lady. She believed that she could sing, dance and play the piano, but it was hard to imagine that she could cook.
Luo Xiaojuan looked at Xu Wantang's slender and graceful back and shook her head.
Forget it, if things really go wrong when the time comes, there are still a few of them who can help.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaojuan felt relieved and followed her.

Military area family home.
Wang Lanxiang was washing clothes in the yard. She was washing very hard, as if to vent her anger. Every time she rubbed the clothes, some of the water in the basin would overflow.
When Wang Lanxiang thought about what happened in the morning, she wanted to tear Xu Wantang apart!
After Xu Wantang and the military wives left in the morning, Song Qianxue stayed and explained to her that it turned out that Song Qianxue did not mean to embarrass her, and that the reason why Song Qianxue did not tell her the truth was completely unspeakable.
Song Qianxue's ex-husband's pension was all taken away by her ex-in-law's family. Song Qianxue thought that Captain Lu would adopt Youyou, so she used the money given by Captain Lu to start a business. Now that the principal has been invested, there is no room for recovery. .
According to Song Qianxue, the reason why she did not tell Wang Lanxiang this was because she was afraid that Wang Lanxiang would worry about her.
After hearing this, Wang Lanxiang forgave Song Qianxue.
From this, she naturally hated Xu Wantang even more.
If it weren't for Xu Wantang, Song Qianxue's current situation wouldn't be so miserable, and she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of so many people.
Hearing the sound of joking in the distance, Wang Lanxiang looked for the sound and saw Xu Wantang at a glance.
At this time, Xu Wantang was surrounded by military wives, smiling brightly.
The more Wang Lanxiang looked at that smile, the more dazzling she felt, and she wanted to go up and scratch her vixen-like face.
How many days has she been here? Just hook up with all the military wives in this family home?
Wang Lanxiang glared at Xu Wantang from afar, and used more strength to wash the clothes.
Immediately, as if she thought of something, she stopped washing clothes.
There are several military wives whose homes are not in their area!
What are they doing?
Wang Lanxiang suspiciously put her hand on her waist and wiped it, then trotted forward, stopped an army wife who was walking at the back, and asked, "Brothers and sisters, what are you doing?"
The person in question said awkwardly, "Xiao Xu entertained us at home today."
Xu Wantang did not invite Wang Lanxiang, presumably because of what happened in the morning, he would not invite Wang Lanxiang either.
But now being asked about it by someone who wasn't invited is a bit embarrassing.
After the military wife finished speaking, she quickly followed the person in front and left without looking back.
Wang Lanxiang stood there, staring at Xu Wantang's back, so angry that her teeth itched.
You invited almost all the military wives in the yard, but you didn’t invite her?
Wang Lanxiang closed the door of her house with a bang. The sound startled Wang Lanying who was looking in the mirror.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You scared me." Wang Lanying asked, patting her chest repeatedly.
Wang Lanxiang's eyes were as big as those of an ox, and she said angrily, "She's not Commander Lu's vixen wife?! She invited many military wives in the courtyard to her home as guests. I live next door to her house, and she passed by us. You didn’t say anything at the door to come in and call me!”
"She is taking the lead to exclude me! The vixen really has bad intentions!" Wang Lanxiang said "poof" and kept breathing heavily, looking very angry.
"Sister, don't be angry. It might be a good thing if we don't go. What good things can that vixen do?" Wang Lanying comforted Wang Lanxiang with disdain in her eyes.
When Wang Lanying heard her sister's words, her anger dissipated a little, "Yingying, you are right! Looking at the vixen, it doesn't look like she knows how to work! Otherwise, why would Captain Lu go to the cafeteria every day?"
Thinking of this, Wang Lanxiang took her sister's hand and said with some pride, "How can a vixen be as good as my sister? My Yingying is not only beautiful, but also good at cooking! I don't know how much better than that vixen who only knows how to be pretty!"
"This man! He still likes to know how to feel cold and hot, and he loves others. He will be disliked sooner or later if he has nothing but skin!"
After hearing her sister's words, Wang Lanying unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
Although Xu Wantang is well dressed and looks good, so what?
My sister is right, a beautiful vase like Xu Wantang is not worthy of a man as handsome and capable as Captain Lu!
She can wait slowly and keep being nice to Commander Lu. One day, Commander Lu will see her.
Wang Lanxiang held her sister's hand, rolled her eyes and said, "Yingying, how about you cook a big meal today and steal the limelight from the vixen?"
Wang Lanying asked with some confusion, "Sister, how do you grab it?"
Wang Lanxiang smiled confidently, "She invited the military wives in the courtyard, and we will invite the officers in the courtyard to come to our house for dinner. The main thing is to invite Commander Lu over and let him have a taste of your cooking?"
Wang Lanying nodded with a smile and walked to the kitchen with cheerful steps.
Thinking that Captain Lu would eat the food she cooked for dinner, the smile on her face almost overflowed!
