Chapter 263
At night, when Zhou Shaojie was sleeping with Xiuxiu in his arms, he said: "I have invited four people to our house for dinner tomorrow afternoon, one is our regiment leader, the other is Liu Chunlin, and the other two have family members, so I think they will bring them over. There is a family with a child. You can just cook and send them away, and you don’t have to do too well.”

Xiuxiu stretched out her hand and twisted him: "Since you must treat guests warmly, what do you mean by doing something casually, and what do you mean by sending them off? You should treat them as beggars."

Zhou Shaojie grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "It's against you, you dare to twist me, let's see how I deal with you." After speaking, Xiuxiu was pushed down.

Xiuxiu hurriedly begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I didn't intend to twist you, my hands slipped, please forgive me—ah——"

That night Zhou Shaojie didn't bother Xiuxiu much. The next day, Xiuxiu woke up before dawn. She took out her watch from under the pillow to check the time. Seeing that the time was just right, she tiptoed to get dressed.

She cooked multigrain porridge, fried a few egg pancakes, and mixed a plate of kelp shreds. After the meal was ready, she planned to wake Zhou Shaojie up, but Zhou Shaojie came out of the bedroom fully dressed.

"It smells good."

"Go and brush your teeth and wash your face, and I'll bring out the meal."

"it is good."

After eating, Zhou Shaojie left. Xiuxiu looked at the time and went into the study to write big characters. When it was almost eight o'clock, she had already written five big characters. She nodded with satisfaction, packed a vegetable basket, took With a lot of money, she went out to the military area. Today she wants to buy more food.

Walking on the road, I also met a few family members walking in the same direction. It seemed that they were all shopping for vegetables.

Some of those people looked at Xiuxiu curiously, and Xiuxiu responded with a smile.

Seeing Xiuxiu's kind face, two young women who followed walked directly to Xiuxiu and greeted her as they walked, "You are the lover of Battalion Commander Zhou. I heard that you are from a big city. You are so beautiful."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "I am Zhou Shaojie's wife, who are you?"

One of them, who was pretty, said, "My wife is Shi Zhonglin, the deputy commander of the Fourth Battalion, and she is the daughter-in-law of Miao Zewei, the commander of the Fourth Battalion."

Xiuxiu said: "Hello, I just arrived, please take care of me in the future."

Shi Zhonglin's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Hey, we all live in the same yard, we don't care about what we don't care about, let's help each other."

Xiuxiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law flashed her eyes and asked, "How did you meet Commander Zhou? Was it introduced by a matchmaker or did you know each other?"

Xiuxiu was a little surprised why she would ask this question, and said, "The two of us knew each other before."

Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law blurted out and asked, "Then you also know Dr. He Yuxin?"

The smile on Xiuxiu's face faded a little, not knowing what the other party meant, she nodded lightly, "Not very familiar."

Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law looked like she was about to smile, and said, "I heard that Dr. He is going to marry Head Yang. Dr. He is from the capital. I heard that Dr. He's grandfather is a high-ranking official in the capital. Commander Yang is a good match."

Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law even winked at Shi Zhonglin's daughter-in-law. The two of them looked like they knew each other. Her face is like this, this is bullying her tender face. After Xiuxiu thought about it, she asked generously: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with He Yuxin and Captain Yang getting married? Is there anything else? I don't know?"

Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her hand and said, "No."

Xiuxiu smiled and said: "I see that you two just winked, I thought there was something you couldn't tell me, but I was wrong."

Shi Zhonglin's daughter-in-law's expression became a little unnatural, she lowered her head and stopped talking, Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law also felt that Xiuxiu was such a stick, how dare she ask for another person, this is deliberately embarrassing them, she thinks Her men Miao Zewei and Zhou Shaojie are both battalion commanders, and they are not inferior to Xiuxiu themselves, so they don't like Xiuxiu anymore, and their faces have become indifferent.

The three of them didn't speak any more, and soon they were outside the gate.

Sure enough, there were four or five people standing at a distance of 200 meters from the gate, and there were either two vegetable baskets in front of each person, or a small stall on the ground.

Xiuxiu probably took a look at it. There were potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage, which can be put in winter, as well as tomatoes, beans, and green vegetables, which looked like vegetables from a greenhouse. There were also eggs and duck eggs. There was a person in front of him. Frozen pears in a small box.

Walking to the vegetable stand, Xiuxiu naturally separated from them.

Xiuxiu first went to the frozen pear seller and looked at the pears.

The pear seller said: "Big sister, my pear is really sweet."

Xiuxiu asked: "How much is a catty?"

"Thirty cents a catty, although it is a bit expensive, but pears are very rare in winter."

Xiuxiu said: "I want it all, let's see how much it costs."

The pear seller was overjoyed when he heard about it, and just set up a stall, and all the pears were sold, which is really lucky.He said: "My pears were weighed when I went out, and they were 21 catties in total. Seeing that you are so straightforward, I will wipe off the fraction of a catty for you. Count your twenty catties, and the total is six yuan."

Xiuxiu said: "Okay, I'll give you five yuan first, and I still have to buy vegetables. After a while, you can help me carry the pears to the door over there, and I'll give you the remaining one yuan."

"no problem."

Xiuxiu gave him five yuan, and then turned to look at the dishes.

Xiuxiu's boldness shocked Shi Zhonglin's daughter-in-law and Miao Zewei's daughter-in-law. Fruits in winter are relatively expensive, and they rarely buy them. buy that much.

This Xiuxiu seems to be a rich man, and Shi Zhonglin's daughter-in-law looked carefully at Xia Xiuxiu's clothes. Although she looked plain, it seemed that the fabrics were well cut. Wei's daughter-in-law said those words nonsense.

Miao Zewei's wife squinted her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiuxiu didn't bother to talk to them, and went directly to the vegetable seller in the greenhouse. I bought three catties of tomatoes, four catties of beans, two catties of green vegetables, and then five catties of eggs. Zhou Shaojie likes to eat egg pancakes and spiced eggs , Go back today and cook a pot of spiced eggs.

There were still some potatoes and cabbage bought the day before yesterday, and she thought that since these vegetable sellers came every day, it would be better to come back to buy them in two days.

Xiuxiu bought a lot of things, the pear seller took the initiative to help her put the vegetables in his box, Xiuxiu carried eggs and tomatoes, and the two walked to the gate of the family area.Xiuxiu gave him the remaining one yuan, and the pear seller saw that no other pears could hold so much for Xiuxiu, so he simply said: "Why don't you take this basket first, and I'll get it in two days. I still come here to sell things today, and you can give it to me when the time comes."

Xiuxiu said happily: "That's really great, thank you."
