The boy told her, "The eleventh day is market day, which is the thirteenth."

"Okay, then I'll come back on the 13th. We'll meet here around this time."

"Okay." The boy had no objections.

After saying this, Shen Jingyue prepared to leave.

The young man then asked, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you want to buy? I have quite a few things here, and none of them require coupons."

Shen Jingyue thought for a moment, realizing that she didn't have a watch, and although there was a time in the space, it was based on the space's time.

Now that he mentioned it, she did want a watch.

She asked, "Do you have a watch here?"

The boy's eyes lit up. "Does sister-in-law want to buy a watch?"

He actually has two here.

"Um, do you need tickets?"

The supply and marketing cooperative does have some, but you need ration coupons, and sometimes it depends on luck. If there's no stock, you can't buy it even if you have the coupons.

"I have some here, Shanghai license plates, no ticket required, but the price might be a bit higher."

"If you want it, sister-in-law, I'll go back and get it for you now. Wait here for me for a while."

"Okay, then hurry up, I still need to go look for it later."

"Alright, I'll be right back."

The boy carried the child on his back and ran quickly, soon disappearing around the corner of the alley.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the boy finally ran back, panting. By then, the basket on his back was gone.

The boy was panting heavily from running, but Shen Jingyue didn't urge him on.

Instead, he waited until he caught his breath before taking out a women's watch from his pocket and handing it to her.

"Sister, look, it's a Shanghai brand, brand new, definitely not secondhand. I just got it these past two days. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 130 yuan."

If you were to buy a watch at a supply and marketing cooperative for 120 yuan, you'd need a receipt.

This is already considered a bargain for him.

Shen Jingyue noticed that the way she addressed her had changed, but she didn't say anything.

She glanced at it and saw that the dial was in good condition and the watch itself was brand new, so it shouldn't be a second-hand item.

But just to be on the safe side, she still asked, "Are you sure it's not a second-hand item?"

"Don't worry, sister. I'd like to work with you in the future, so why would I lie to you?"

"But 130 is too expensive, how about 110?"

Shen Jingyue felt that she still had to bargain, maybe she could get a better price.

"Oh my dear sister, I get these goods for over a hundred each. How am I supposed to make any money if you do this? This price of 130 is already very cheap, and it's even without a receipt."

"If you were to sell it at a supply and marketing cooperative, it would cost 120, and in some places it would even cost 130 plus a ration coupon. I'm giving it to you for 130 without the coupon, which is already a very cheap price."

The boy wasn't lying; it was 130 yuan. He didn't earn that much, and he bought the watch for 120 yuan. 130 yuan was a really cheap price.

He only earned ten yuan, a hard-earned sum.

He gave me a discount because of our past collaboration.

If he were to sell it to someone else, he would at least fetch a price of 140 or 150.

Shen Jingyue saw that he didn't seem to be lying; 130 was indeed a very cheap price.

"Okay, I'll take this watch."

Shen Jingyue took out a small purse from her bag, which was actually her spatial storage, counted out a little over a hundred yuan, and handed it to him.

The boy received the money, smiled, and carefully put it away. "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. If that face cream really sells well, I'll definitely ask you for more."

If he sells all ten bottles of face cream, he'll get three yuan in his pocket.

"Um."

After watching him leave, Shen Jingyue also left with her child in her arms.

Sister Wang and Sister Lu had already bought the things and were waiting for Shen Jingyue at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

It took almost half an hour for the person to return.

Seeing her holding the child, Sister Wang and Sister Lu quickly got up.

"Oh, Sister Shen, where have you been? We've been waiting for you here for almost half an hour. We thought you were lost and were about to go look for you." Sister Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return.

"Yeah, where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Shen Jingyue was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I walked a bit far just now, and the baby was hungry, so I found a place to feed him and change his diaper. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Shen Jingyue was indeed very embarrassed.

When she was about to return, the baby started crying. Shen Jingyue knew he was hungry, so she found a secluded place, went into her space to feed the baby, changed his diaper, and then rushed back.

"It's good that you're alright. We've bought everything. Is there anything else you want to buy? If not, we'll go to the state-run restaurant for lunch and wait for the military vehicle to pick us up," said Sister-in-law Lu.

"Okay, I don't need to buy anything right now. Let's go eat first, it's almost noon."

She just glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

First, we went to the state-run restaurant to eat stew, and then we went back to the vicinity of the supply and marketing cooperative to wait for the vehicle to return to the army.

They went to a state-run restaurant together, and luckily, the restaurant had wontons.

Sister Wang went to reserve a seat, while Sister Lu and Shen Jingyue went to order food.

Although we haven't arrived at the restaurant yet, it's the only state-run restaurant in the county, and there are quite a few people eating there.

Now there's only one table left.

Sister Wang and Sister Lu originally wanted to order a braised pork and some flatbread.

But I noticed that this state-run restaurant had wontons today, and they weren't expensive—only 50 cents a bowl.

So Sister-in-law Lu asked Shen Jingyue if she wanted to eat wontons. Shen Jingyue naturally had no objection, especially since she quite liked them.

Sister-in-law Lu then asked Sister Wang, and seeing that she had no objections, the three of them ordered three bowls of wontons.

Just as Sister Lu and Shen Jingyue were about to go to their seats after ordering their wontons.

Suddenly, a young woman and a man walked up to the table where Sister Wang was standing.

These two are obviously a couple; they came in and saw that there wasn't much room left.

Only Sister Wang was sitting there.

The two people walked directly towards Sister Wang.

When the woman saw that the seat she had chosen was taken, she frowned and said, "Ma'am, did we get this seat first?"

They had only gone to order food when their seats were taken.

Seeing that there were only two of them and the table could seat several people, Sister Wang said, "Then sit down. I didn't say you couldn't sit."

There are eight people at the table, and there are only three of them, so the space is enough.

"You're alone, could you try to join another table?"

Women don't want to sit with women who look like they're from the countryside.

Besides, she also wanted to take this opportunity to spend some quality time with her partner.
