Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1686: Teacher and Student Reunion 2
Chapter 1686: Chapter 1686: Teacher and Student Reunion 2
Amid the middle-aged woman’s surprise, the old squad leader said to Feng Qingxue, "Dr. Feng, you can just call her Sister Lei. Whenever you want to buy seafood, just go to her, and she will surely have everything prepared nicely for you."
"Sister Lei!" Feng Qingxue greeted very politely.
Sister Lei responded with an "Aye," and said, "Girl, take a look and pick whatever you like, I guarantee it’s all the best quality."
Feng Qingxue thanked her.
The salesclerks at the neighboring counters looked over directly. They couldn’t help it. They’ve seen the regulars before, but a sudden appearance of an unfamiliar young and pretty woman naturally drew attention.
"Girl, do you want to buy some yellow croaker? They’re lively and jumping!" Sister Liu, who sells live fish, asked enthusiastically.
Feng Qingxue asked Sister Lei to weigh ten pounds of dried red snails for her. It’s a relatively expensive kind of dried seafood. She turned and smiled at Sister Liu, "I live in the hospital dormitory, and I haven’t prepared any cooking utensils, can’t light a stove, so I won’t buy any."
Sister Liu was taken aback, "Then why are you buying so much dried stuff?"
Under the guise of a mess hall purchase, they were all keen enough to realize that Feng Qingxue was buying privately.
"Sending them to my family," said Feng Qingxue lightly. Then she ordered ten pounds of dried squid, ten pounds of dried scallops, ten pounds of shrimp skins, and ten pounds of dried silverfish. However, there were no high-quality dried abalone or fish maw available, but she did buy a lot of kelp, seaweed, and algae. She planned to send these to her family first and buy more later to send to friends and relatives.
She still had some dried goods in her space, not much though, because she hadn’t thought of buying expensive dried abalone or fish maw back then. However, the flavor of seafood at that time couldn’t compare to now.
Feng Qingxue suddenly had a new plan, to buy more of this era’s items to store away.
After the opening and reform, people’s hearts changed, the quality of industrial products plummeted, and various toxic foods emerged layer upon layer. Exposures of toxic milk powder, toxic bean sprouts, toxic chili peppers were simply shocking, and the taste of fruits, vegetables, chicken, fish, meat, and eggs could not compare to now, when everything is truly pesticide-free, fertilizer-free, and lean meat powder-free.
Sister Liu saw Feng Qingxue’s generous purchase and gasped. Who would usually have the heart to buy so much dried goods?
Not to mention her, even Sister Lei’s hand trembled a little while weighing.
The old squad leader had gone to buy other vegetables, leaving Feng Qingxue here alone. She couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Sister Lei, don’t shake, steady now. We have a family of more than ten with the elders, children, and the two of us as a couple, and we all have good appetites. If I buy too little, it won’t even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth, not to mention, we rarely see seafood where we are. How could I not buy more?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Upon hearing the words ’elders and children,’ both Sister Lei and Sister Liu were stunned, "You’re married?"
Feng Qingxue covered her mouth and laughed, didn’t she really look like a young woman? The difference between a young lady and a married woman was quite obvious, right?
"Married for more than ten years, I have five children."
Sister Lei was surprised and said, "You don’t look it at all! Look at me, I’ve also had five kids, but my face and hands are as dark and rough as old tree bark, yet you’re fair and clean. Do you use snow cream?"
Sister Liu nodded in agreement. She too thought so and asked how old Feng Qingxue was.
When she learned that Feng Qingxue was two years older than her, her eyes widened, "Oh my, I should be calling you big sister then!"
Feng Qingxue immediately changed to call her Sister Liu.
Looking at Feng Qingxue, who seemed ten years younger than her, Sister Liu almost cried. The difference was too big. In another ten or eight years, wouldn’t it look like two generations? And she’d still be the old one.
