MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 12 Tired

The seafood supply station is not large, with an area of ​​60 to 70 square meters. There are several stalls according to the type of seafood, and there are walking aisles between the stalls.

It's just that the aisle is not wide enough, and when Lin Wei came, the seafood was unloaded from the ship not long after, and the supply station was a little crowded during the peak period.

Lin Wei stood at the door and watched for a while, thinking about it, she didn't go in to crowd with people, and took her two children to the next-door supply and marketing agency.

The supply and marketing cooperative is much larger than the supply station. There are two floors up and down, each floor is about a hundred square meters, the counters are placed along the walls, and there is a spacious aisle in the middle.

There are few people coming to the supply and marketing agency at this point, and it looks a little deserted inside.

But Lin Wei didn't dislike it. She looked at each counter one by one, thinking about the things she wanted to buy under her account.

The first thing to buy must be oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. You can't always borrow it from others, and it doesn't sound good to say it. Then there are the cups, bowls, chopsticks and plates. Zong Shao has prepared these, but the number is small. The family will have enough, but if there are guests, it will not work, so you have to prepare some.

I also need to buy two bathtubs. They used the enamel basins they brought for bathing last night. The enamel basins are small and the water they can hold is very limited, making it very inconvenient to take a bath.

Then there are matches, scissors, thermos, towels, soaps, washing powders and other odds and ends, which will also be added one after another.

After shopping upstairs and downstairs, Lin Wei brought her two children to the counter selling fruit.

The supply and marketing cooperative on the island sells many more kinds of fruit than the home supply and marketing cooperative. At a glance, there are seven or eight kinds of fruits, not to mention ten kinds.

Lin Wei has seen bananas, lychees, coconuts, mangoes, and pineapples that she has never seen before. She doesn't know much about the other types. She asked the salesperson to find out that the whole body is red and the fruit is still red. The thorny one is called rambutan, the yellow fruit is called yellow skin, and the one with the largest epidermis is called jackfruit.

The salesperson knew that she was a new military sister-in-law. She had just arrived on the island from the inland. She introduced: "The taste of rambutan is similar to that of lychees. If you are used to eating lychees, you can buy some and try them out. The pineapple will be a bit astringent and soaked when eaten directly. It's sweeter after salt water."

While talking, seeing the brothers staring at the yellow-skinned mangoes, they reminded them, "Mangoes are prone to allergies. You'd better try a small sip first when you buy them back, and make sure that there is no problem before eating them, but the ripe mangoes are still very sweet. .As for the yellow skin, it depends on whether you like it sour. People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't like it will not be able to stand the sour taste."

Lin Wei asked, "What about jackfruit? Will it taste weird?"

The sales clerk smiled: "Don't worry, it's not as smelly as durian, but you haven't eaten it before. The first time Ken will feel unaccustomed to it, but the taste is still sweet. Would you like to buy some and try it?"

Lin Wei was a little moved and asked, "Don't you need tickets for these?"

"What tickets do you want for fruit, there are plenty of them on the island," said the salesman, who was also a military sister-in-law, and couldn't help sighing. , I'm so happy to eat half an apple during the New Year's Eve, but now I don't eat that stuff so rarely, I just pick up what I don't have in my hometown."

"That's right. Before I joined the army, I was also thinking about the fruits on the island." Lin Wei nodded in agreement and asked, "Can I buy some of the same fruit and give the children a taste."

The sales clerk happily agreed: "Neighbors, what's wrong with this, do you want to order everything, or choose a few?"

"Don't want the bananas. I've eaten them at home before. Let's have some lychees. Can I get one of the mangoes? I'll go back and see if I can eat them."

"No problem." The sales clerk took a mango that was not too small or not, told Lin Wei the price, and handed the mango to Mingming, smiling, "I see this kid has been staring at the mango for a long time."

"He hasn't seen it before, it's a novelty." Lin Wei smiled and said to Mingming, "Go back and eat again, you can't move now."

Mingming happily said "yes", handed the mango to Rarity and said, "You touch it, the mango skin feels so comfortable." He smelled it again, "It's still very fragrant."

Rarity followed and touched the mango skin, smelled it again, nodded and said, "It's very comfortable and fragrant."

When the two children were holding the mango and smelling it, Lin Wei asked the salesperson to order some rambutans and two coconuts. As for the yellow peel, she also took a stick and said, "Just order it and give the children a taste. , I like to talk about it again. Forget the jackfruit, it will save you the trouble of peeling it off."

Jackfruit is big and has a lot of pulp inside, so supply and marketing cooperatives usually sell it in separate packages after peeling it off. But after peeling the pulp, it is not easy to keep it for too long, it is easy to lose moisture, and it looks wilted.

The supply and marketing cooperatives usually peel jackfruit before lunch or dinner. During these two time periods, there are many people who come to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the jackfruit meat can be sold quickly.

Therefore, the salesperson did not persuade Lin Wei to buy it, but said with a smile: "Next time you come at noon or at night, the freshly peeled jackfruit pulp is fresh."

Lin Wei thanked the salesperson and said, "Then I'll go back and finish eating these fruits."

After speaking, they asked the brothers to say goodbye, and went out of the supply and marketing cooperative to return to the seafood supply station next door.

The liveliness of the supply station has faded a lot. Of course, there are still customers, but the aisle is not so crowded. Lin Wei walked in with the children.

Before going in, he kept pinching mangoes as toys. When he saw the lobster and crabs on the stall, he lost interest in the mangoes that he couldn't eat for the time being. He stood on tiptoe and stuffed the mangoes into the cloth bag Lin Wei used to hold the fruit. After that, he turned his head and said "shh" to his brother.

The brothers still had this tacit understanding, and without further ado, Rarity made a zipper.

Lin Wei saw the little actions of the brothers, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, but she didn't say much, just smiled and asked the staff how the seafood was sold, and why the fish looked wilted.

The eldest sister sitting behind the fish stall laughed when she heard Lin Wei's words, "Sister, you just joined the army from the mainland, right?"

These days, it will be difficult to move once the job is fixed. There are so many people in the family area. It is not unusual for the other party to see that Lin Wei is a fresh face and just joined the army, but she directly said that she came from the inland... Lin Wei was puzzled at that time: " Where did you see this?"

The eldest sister explained: "The fish are like this. They can't survive when they get ashore. It doesn't take long for them to catch a breath. You will know if you stay on the island for a while."

Lin Wei suddenly realized that her feelings were revealed as soon as she opened her mouth.

Although it was a joke, Lin Wei felt relieved after asking the reason. She picked a white pomfret with a moderate size and an inexpensive price, and asked her eldest sister to weigh it.

When the eldest sister weighed the fish, Lin Wei took a look at the seafood at several stalls next to it. There were quite a few types of seafood, but most of them were unknown to her. The only ones that were familiar were crabs and lobsters.

There are also lobsters and crabs in Shicheng. Although they are much smaller than sea shrimps and crabs, they are an ancestor after all. They look similar in appearance. Lin Wei can recognize them anyway.

To be honest, Lin Wei really wanted to buy two sea crabs to try, and those mussels, I heard they were delicious.

It's just that she only has two seafood tickets in her hand, which together are only enough to buy a pound and a half of seafood, and everyone can try it. Crabs and oysters are bought for a pound, and half a pound is shelled, which is not worth it.

Let's wait for a while, wait until the account is down and the money is sufficient.

After buying the fish, Lin Wei went to the vegetable market again. She planned to steam the sea fish, so she bought two scallions, small pieces of ginger, cucumbers and potatoes. Seeing that it was enough for today, she brought her two children with her. Back home.

When I went back, there were more people on the road, and there were people in several yards. Although Lin Wei was a newcomer, thinking that everyone was a military sister-in-law, they became a little closer to each other, not to mention that Lin Wei also brought Ming Mingrui with him. Ray Brothers.

Twins are rare in the first place, let alone twins like Mingming Ruirui who not only look alike, but also look handsome, so everyone really wants to get started.

Therefore, Lin Wei has come along this way, and there are many military wives who greeted her. Of course, there are also many military wives who can't help pinching the brothers' faces while chatting. Later, they started to cover their faces when they saw people.

Wang Fangli greeted Lin Wei, and she was a little puzzled when she saw Mingming's appearance: "What's wrong with him?"

"I'm afraid others will pinch his face." Lin Wei laughed in her heart and told what happened just now.

Wang Fangli understood those military wives very well: "To be honest, when I saw the two of them, I wanted to reach out and squeeze their faces."

Hearing this, not only Mingming, but Rui Rui also covered her face with wide eyes, and made Wang Fangli laugh backwards and forwards: "Don't worry, Auntie won't pinch your cheeks."

As he spoke, he stabbed each of the brothers on their heads, and then told Lin Wei about the business in their shocked eyes: "By the way, Director Chen came to you just now."

Lin Wei asked, "Which Director Chen?"

Wang Fangli said: "Director Chen Wenfang Chen, it's Lao Jiao's teacher Song Demin's daughter-in-law. She used to be the director of the Women's Federation. After the military hospital was built, she was transferred to the hospital to be the logistics director. Zong Shao didn't mention it to you?"

Although Zong Shao also mentioned the family area to Lin Wei before going to the island, he mainly talked about his close comrades-in-arms and the surrounding neighbors.

Zong Shaozhen didn't say what the teacher's daughter-in-law's last name was and what job she did.

But it doesn't matter, Lin Wei wondered, "What is Director Chen looking for me for?"

"She didn't tell me, but she told you to go to her house to find her when you come back. She has something important to tell you." Speaking of which, Wang Fangli deliberately lowered her voice, "Did you offend her somewhere?"

Lin Wei felt that Wang Fangli's question was inexplicable: "I don't know her, how can I offend her?"

Wang Fangli thought to herself that you didn't know Gao Xiulian yesterday, didn't you offend people severely? But she didn't say it, she just said: "Anyway, I think Director Chen's expression is very serious, or you still want to tell yourself whether you have offended someone you don't know today?"

Lin Wei recalled the people she met, except for the military wives she met after entering the family area, they were the staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives, the seafood supply station and the military resettlement office. I've seen Director Chen, do you know where Director Chen's house is? I'll go find her later."

Wang Fangli showed her the way, and after finishing she reminded: "That's the teacher's daughter-in-law, please be polite when you see people, don't quarrel with her."

Although she knew that Wang Fangli was well-intentioned, Lin Wei was still a bit dumbfounded, and wanted to say that she really wasn't a cannonball, and would explode before she reached the point.

But the explanation didn't come out in the end, just sighed and said, "I see."

Tired.
