Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1694: Preparing to Build a House 2

After buying the fish, I noticed that Sister Lei had a lot more dried goods, and among them, the fish maw looked really good, large and intact. I quickly apologized to Sister Gu and went over to choose, still using the excuse of sending them to friends and family.

Buy, buy, buy, I wish I could buy them all and store them in my space!

Unfortunately, with so many eyes around, if I buy a large amount of dried goods, I really have to send them out.

"Fish maw stewed with old hen is very nourishing, especially for women."

Sister Lei’s attitude was even more enthusiastic than the day before, her eyes brighter. She saw and heard Sister Gu’s attitude and words just now. Everyone knows Sister Gu’s husband is a colonel, and they all know Doctor Guo’s brother is a renowned doctor in the Capital, treating leaders, people they could only dream of interacting with.

Feng Qingxue chuckled, "I just bought meat, should I buy a chicken too? Chickens are hard to find, usually available only during holidays."

"You can find chickens and ducks on normal days too, without needing a ticket, it depends on your luck. If you come late, you won’t see any, chickens sell well because chicken soup is very nutritious. Ducks have a strong smell, so they don’t sell as well." Sister Lei collected the money and handed her the weighed fish maws, "Do you need anything else? Buy some seaweed and kelp to make soup. Add some dried shrimps to the seaweed soup, it tastes really fresh."

Feng Qingxue thought for a moment, "Then weigh two pounds of seaweed and two pounds of dried shrimp for me."

After she finished buying groceries, Sister Gu planned to leave with her, but was held back by Sister Lei and Sister Liu.

"Sister Gu, you chat, I’ll go ahead."

Sister Gu looked helplessly at Sister Lei and Sister Liu, "Alright, you go on."

Watching as Feng Qingxue’s beautiful figure walked away, Sister Liu finally asked the question she’d held in for a long time, "Sister Gu, is it true that Doctor Feng is in her thirties and already has five kids? The first time I saw her, the first thought I had was to introduce her to someone."

In every military unit, there are many unmarried young men, who are very much in demand.

Matchmaking holds a very important place in the lives of many women.

Sister Gu laughed, "Would someone get their age and number of kids wrong? I tell you, you’re being too nosy trying to set her up with someone. Her revolutionary partner is a Major General, the youngest Major General since the founding of the country, stationed in the Capital military region, enjoying the same status as a battalion commander. This temporary assignment has added a highlight to his resume, and a promotion and raise are just around the corner."

Nearby vendors, hearing this, collectively gasped.

"Oh my gosh, Sister Gu, are you saying that Doctor Feng’s husband’s rank is higher than your husband Gu Tian’s?" Sister Lei looked incredulous, yet relieved that she had always treated Feng Qingxue well.

Sister Gu laughed heartily, "Major General Lu is indeed capable, more so than my husband Gu Tian."

Sister Liu was also shocked, "No wonder she doesn’t hesitate to buy dried goods. I secretly thought she was being extravagant, buying tens of pounds of dried goods without batting an eye, those amounts are enough for my family’s expenses for several months."

Sister Lei nodded in agreement, as she bought top-grade fish maw, which are expensive and mostly exported, and she bought them without hesitation. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Sister Gu tightened the straps of her basket, "What’s so strange about that? In their place, sea products are hard to come by. It’s natural they would seize the opportunity to buy more. Anyway, I have to go home and make mackerel dumplings for my aunt, that’s her favorite, but she hasn’t had any for many years while living outside."
