Meng Wantang looked back and saw that it was the person he met in the porcelain factory that day.
She smiled before saying anything: "Comrade Gao Peng, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Gao Peng also looked surprised.
Since the last time he saw Meng Wantang, he has been a bit reluctant to think about food and tea. At that time, I didn’t even have time to ask him where his home was. If he wanted to meet again, it would depend on fate.
He didn't expect that fate would come so quickly.
"Comrade Meng Wantang, are you coming to the market too?" Gao Peng lowered his head and straightened his clothes and touched his hair before walking over.
"Um."
Meng Wantang said hello and continued to look at the pots and jars.
The house lacks everything.
This thing is not expensive, and it is within her affordability, so she naturally wants to buy everything at home.
She actually thought about moving out of the village before, and she didn't think about buying these things.
Now that the house is built, even if they move to the city in the future, the old house will still be their roots. I still have to come back during the holidays.
Meng Wantang's eyes lit up when she saw the small basket.
You never know when the broken baskets at home will leak and you will have to buy new ones. They are not expensive anyway, so buy two more.
This basket weaving is also good.
Well!
Kang mats are cheap, buy them!
She went from the place selling jars and bowls to the place selling baskets and kang mats nearby, and bought whatever she liked.
Not only were the two old shopping men not flattered, they looked at Meng Wantang like fools.
Whose Kang mat can be purchased at a time of four?
Use one to burn one?
Gao Peng originally planned to interject a few words, but Meng Wantang was too focused on shopping, so he couldn't interject at all.
"Why did you buy so many kang mats?"
"hold head high."
Meng Wantang began to pick among the piles of kang mats. She found that this old man was very good at making kang mats.
Gao Peng saw that she had an innocent look on her face, and the way she bought things was like those capitalist eldest ladies in the past, buying what they liked and not caring about money at all. I'm a little worried that she will regret it after buying it.
He wanted to show off, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "You don't need to buy so much for the Kang mat."
"Why?" Meng Wantang was surprised.
"No need."
"Just these four." Meng Wantang paid the bill and said to Gao Peng with a smile, "Comrade Gao Peng, you may not know the situation of our family. We have many children and a large population. My eldest sister-in-law and my third sister There are two children living in our house. As the girls get older, they will have to live in a separate room in the future, so they also need a kang mat. My son also needs a kang mat in his own room. My sister-in-law also needs a kang mat in the room where we live. We have to spread out one bed. Four kang mats are just right.”
Gao Peng was dumbfounded.
He looked at Meng Wantang in surprise: "You...are you married?"
"Are you surprised?" Meng Wantang said with a smile, "I got married early. When I came to the countryside on the 18th, I married my partner. Comrade Gao Peng, I want to buy other things, so I'll leave first."
Gao Peng was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that he would finally meet a charming girl and not only get married, but also have three children.
He looked at Meng Wantang's back and her perfect waist and hip line when she bent over, and his throat tightened.
Looking back at that beautiful and refined face, Gao Peng thought fervently that if she divorced, he wouldn't be unable to marry her.
This scene was seen by the women in the village, and their eyes were full of contempt when they looked at Meng Wantang.
"I have long heard that she is not a serious woman. She can be so clingy with other men even if she is in a show. I don't know what Lu Qingye thinks, treating such a free-spirited woman as a treasure. She even burned the house. He still treated her like an ancestor. He actually gave her so much money to buy things."
In these days, every household is poor.
Even if the family has money, it cannot reach their wives. If they want to buy something, they have to ask their men for money.
The entire brigade could not find a wife as arrogant and domineering as Meng Wantang.
"Especially recently, people say that Aunt Lu is an evil mother-in-law. They also say that Meng Wantang is not that kind of person."
"That's right! Do you think she is a good woman? She flirts with men all day long. It's normal for my aunt to say a few words to her. In other words, Lu Qingye is blind and can't see her slutty look."
"We should really bring the whole village over to see how much of a slut this little slut is!"
These sisters-in-law scolded me so fiercely that they felt very sad.
Although Lu Qingye looks quite serious, he is physically stronger than their men and has a decent job. I received my monthly salary and various tickets, and all the money was given to Meng Wantang.
Forget it, their own men are incompetent, have bad tempers, and are not good in bed.
The sisters-in-law subconsciously ignored the fact that Meng Wantang was a doctor and scolded him with great vigor.
It seemed that if they belittled Meng Wantang, they would feel superior.
After Meng Wantang finished shopping at the market, he saw the supply and marketing cooperative at the end. Supply and marketing cooperatives are different from department stores. Things here are cheaper, but you can buy a lot of things.
I need to buy some soy sauce and vinegar at home.
People here like to drink tea. There is no tea at home, so Meng Wantang bought some tea.
She was a little greedy when she looked at the big mirror and asked about the price, so she finally bought a few combs. Three little girls, one for each.
She also bought herself a new one.
Meng Wantang held the comb and suddenly felt happy.
She is such an easily satisfied person.
After Meng Wantang praised herself in her heart, she looked inside again. She saw several musical instruments on the counter and wanted to cultivate the children's interests.
"Comrade, I would like to ask, how to sell these?"
The salesperson glanced at the suona and erhu on the counter and said, "This one is defective. It's not expensive. The erhu costs 20 and the suona costs 15."
Meng Wantang: "!!!"
How expensive!
But compared to these things, accordions in department stores are more expensive.
"Can I see it?"
Meng Wantang thought the salesperson's attitude would be very bad, but she didn't expect the salesperson to directly hand over the erhu.
"Be careful, you won't be able to break it."
"When it broke, I bought it."
Just as Meng Wantang finished speaking, the erhu almost slipped out of her hand. She broke into a cold sweat.
She went to the countryside for a while and studied with an old man in the countryside for a few days.
Just pull a simple little star.
She tried playing two notes and found that the erhu sounded great.
If it hadn't been for a line drawn underneath, which made it look ugly, it might have sold for over a hundred. In future generations, this is a good erhu that cannot be bought for tens of thousands of dollars.
Meng Wantang gritted his teeth, glanced at the suona and the two bamboo flutes next to him, and said, "Comrade, can you give me a cheaper price for a suona, an erhu, and three bamboo flutes?"
The salesperson looked at Meng Wantang as if he were a fool: "Comrade, are you from the art troupe?"
"No, I just want to buy it for my children so they can learn."
The salesperson was even more speechless.
