A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Ye Wenxi is usually too lazy to go out, but once she gets to a lively place, her mood immediately changes, and her eyes can't keep up with everything.

After looking at this, I looked at that; I even wanted to buy two pairs from the straw sandal weavers I passed by.

At this moment, she was squatting in front of a stall selling straw and rattan crafts, picking up a pair of straw sandals and comparing them to her feet.

"Are you crazy? Why are you buying straw sandals?" Ding Jiahe squatted down behind her and gently kicked her.

Ye Wenxi was just curious, purely curious...

She had only known from textbooks that wearing straw sandals during the Long March involved crossing snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and she really wanted to know what it would feel like to wear straw sandals for a day.

Ding Jiahe grabbed her and lifted her up: "Hurry up! Let's go grab the meat!"

"Hey? I want to buy straw sandals..." Zhang Yunxia and Ding Jiahe each grabbed one of Ye Wenxi's arms and carried her away from the straw sandal stall.

Ye Wenxi looked back at the rattan boxes with lingering reluctance; she had originally wanted to buy two more.

Many vendors at the market sell pork from pigs raised on farms, which doesn't require meat coupons and is extremely popular.

A group of people arrived at the pork stall. Fortunately, a big customer was selling a lot today, and there were still two pigs hanging in the back that hadn't been butchered yet.

Ye Wenxi walked straight over and pointed to the back: "Boss, I'll take that half pig."

Ding Jiahe slapped her arm: "Are you crazy? You didn't even ask the price?"

Ye Wenxi shrank back and made a "please" gesture.

Zhang Yunxia and Lang Yuqin stepped forward and bargained with the shopkeeper for a long time, finally settling on a price of 8 cents per pound, and then paying 120 yuan to get the half-fat pig.

"Isn't this too much?" Ye Wenxi asked Zhang Yunxia, ​​turning to look at the pork being dismantled by the boss.

"Not much." Zhang Yunxia waved her hand. "Let's divide it among ourselves, leave some for the clothing company, and ask the other sisters if they want any. Once we've divided it up, it'll be gone."

"This meat is good! Look how fatty it is! Much better than the meat from the service station. This is obviously from a pig raised on grain." Lang Yuqin picked up a piece of meat and examined it from all angles.

The pork was cut up on the spot by the boss, each piece was tied with straw rope, and then wrapped in several thick sheets of brown paper before being placed in Ye Wenxi's picnic cart.

Once the half-pig was cut up, Ye Wenxi's car was basically full.

"Aunt Lang, what other shopping plans do you have for today? Let's get started," Ye Wenxi asked.

"The military region has fresh green beans and eggplants, so you don't need to buy those. Just buy more of the kinds of vegetables that are hard to find in the military region, and also buy some vegetables that can be stored for a long time," Lang Yuqin said, counting on her fingers.

"Alright, let's go!"

The group wandered between several stalls and bought a lot of dried goods: hazel mushrooms, vermicelli, dried chili peppers, dried daylily, and bracken. They bought several kinds of vermicelli, in different thicknesses and shapes.

Ye Wenxi also saw some vendors selling wild mountain products, such as wild pheasants, wild rabbits, and wild roe deer.

Lang Yuqin wanted to buy it, but Ye Wenxi quickly waved her hand, saying, "I dare not eat it, I dare not eat it."

Knowing that Ye Wenxi loved braised dishes, Lang Yuqin picked out a lot of good stuff from the spice and seasoning stall.

The shopkeeper introduced the spices one by one, saying that they were good and that many big restaurants bought them from him. Lang Yuqin smelled them, chewed them a couple of times, and found that the taste was indeed authentic, so she bought some.

Finally, I bought a lot of salted duck eggs, fermented bean curd, and pickles, all of which are things that can be stored for a long time.

Ye Wenxi looked around and realized that she had bought mostly cooking supplies and not much fruit.

Passing by a fruit stand, she stopped and said, "Let's buy some cantaloupe and share it with everyone."

The military region's service center rarely sells cantaloupes; they're usually eaten as a treat to improve one's diet.

The cantaloupes were just starting to bloom at the end of June, and not many people were growing them; most of them were varieties grown in the private plots of local villagers.

The cantaloupes from Northeast China are sweet, fragrant, and crisp, and this is one of Ye Wenxi's favorite fruits in modern times.

Ye Wenxi also bought a lot of plums, wild apples, and ground cherries from the stall...

"Alright, Wenxi, that's enough," Lang Yuqin advised her.

"It's okay, these aren't common, you can't buy them at the service store." Ye Wenxi kept her head down as she picked through the fruit, and in the end, she bought more fruit than meat.

When Ye Wenxi was loading the fruit into the car, he instructed Lang Yuqin:

"I'll keep some of these fruits for myself, give some away, and give the rest to the employees as snacks to improve their meals."

"The ground cherry has been stored for a long time, so we can put it aside for now. We'll occasionally give you some cantaloupe and plums these next few days."

After she finished speaking, she set aside some of the cantaloupe and fruit for herself, and told Lang Yuqin to take care of the rest and bring it to the cafeteria later.

Along the way, Ye Wenxi wanted to buy almost everything she saw. At this point, her wealth level had completely enabled her to enjoy the freedom of the vegetable market.

The group of people, along with the picnic cart, had become a striking sight at the market.

People buying groceries couldn't wait to surround them and watch; wherever they went, onlookers followed.

"Where is this from?"

"They don't look like a proper family, buying so much meat..."

"Which organization is this from? This is amazing!"

After finishing her shopping, Zhang Yunxia, ​​with bags slung over her arm, on her shoulder, and in her hands, sighed, "Why did you want to take a bus? You bought so much stuff. If you had taken a bus, you definitely wouldn't have been able to carry it all back."

Ye Wenxi glanced at her watch: "It's almost eleven o'clock, we should go back."

Several people carried, lifted, and pulled the cart away. Many stalls in the market were already packing up, and as noon approached, the number of people dwindled.

Su Feng arrived at the market entrance around 10:30.

He sat in the car, watching from afar as several people, like a moving treasure mountain, swayed and wobbled as they approached.

He agape, a little doubtful whether the trunk would be big enough to fit it.

Seeing that Ye Wenxi was carrying a lot of things, he quickly got out of the car to greet her and immediately pulled the things off her back.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, my..." Before Ye Wenxi could finish speaking, Su Feng had already picked up his things and walked towards the car.

He opened the trunk and started loading the items in one by one.

In the end, the trunk could barely be closed, and there were still some things that they had to carry and hold while sitting in the back seat with others.

After everyone was seated, the car drove back.

"Thank you so much for today, I'm so glad I ran into you," Zhang Yunxia said from the back seat.

"Thank you, Section Chief Su, for making you wait for us here," Ye Wenxi said in return.

"Next time you go out to buy things, don't come by yourself. Have Lu Weidong take you, or apply for a vehicle from the military region." Su Feng felt that it was inconvenient for her during her pregnancy.

"Hey! The military region gave him a truck, and she filled it all up," Ding Jiahe chimed in. "I never expected you to buy more fruit than vegetables today."

Lang Yuqin, sitting in the back seat, nodded in agreement.

She originally wanted to bring everyone out to save some money, but ended up buying so many expensive fruits and good stuff.

It wasn't her own money, but it still stung her to no end.

"I originally wanted to bring you here today to save some money, but alas..." Lang Yuqin sighed.

"Hahaha, you're dreaming if you think Ye Wenxi can save you money." Zhang Yunxia laughed loudly, then turned to look at Su Feng. "Section Chief Su, you'd better not marry a spendthrift like Wenxi."

Su Feng gripped the steering wheel, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

"Hey? Section Chief Su, do you have a girlfriend yet?" Zhang Yunxia leaned forward, her gossipy nature immediately kicking in.

"Ah...no..." Su Feng replied in a flat tone.

"I don't think so. Look how outstanding our Section Chief Su is; he's the only handsome young man in the entire military region who can rival Chief of Staff Lu." Lang Yuqin also leaned in, her face almost touching Su Feng's. "Section Chief Su, do you have a girlfriend?"

Zhang Yunxia winked at Lang Yuqin, indicating that she had said something wrong.

Aunt Lang's compliments sound a little unpleasant to hear.

Praising someone's good looks is fine, but why compare him to Lu Weidong? Zhang Yunxia knew from Chen Yuanchuan that the two of them had never gotten along since they started school.

Sure enough, Su Feng's expression didn't seem very pleasant at this moment.

"Oh... well... I just wanted to praise Su Ke for being outstanding, energetic, and handsome," Lang Yuqin quickly tried to cover up, then nudged Ye Wenxi with her elbow, "Wenxi, don't you think our Section Chief Su is handsome?"

"Huh?!" Ye Wenxi was suddenly called out and stammered a little.

"Ah... um..." Ye Wenxi responded vaguely out of politeness.
