Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

After the two of them had breakfast, Yang Yi took Ou Ruoxing out and introduced the family compound as they walked.

And some places where you can buy (exchange) things.

"Xingxing, our unit is located in a remote area, so there is a small supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound. You can buy some daily necessities here, such as food, seasonings, sugar, towels, enamel basins and other daily necessities. For other things, you need to go to the town or city to buy them."

"If you want to exchange for some eggs, vegetables, etc., you can exchange with fellow villagers in nearby villages. Occasionally, you can also exchange for chickens or some food in the village. The fellow villagers are basically short of coupons. They are more interested in cloth coupons and sugar coupons."

Ou Ruoxing listened and nodded continuously. She had also stayed in the village for some time and was very familiar with some of the situations here.

The country is now very strict with the economy. It is a planned economy. If it is a private transaction, it will be directly classified as speculation and the person will be arrested.

So even if people do transactions privately, they are very cautious and careful. If there is any sign of trouble, they will run away faster than rabbits.

The two exchanged some grain, eggs and vegetables in a nearby village, and then went to a small supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candies, peach cakes, seasonings, etc.

Because it wasn't too late, there was still some meat on the stall, but it wasn't very good.

"Comrade, I want two pounds of ribs and two pounds of leg meat." Ou Ruoxing said, pointing at the meat on the table.

In fact, she really couldn't get used to eating fatty meat, it was too greasy.

But people of this era usually don’t have enough to eat and have no fat in their stomachs, so they like to buy fatty meat.

It can help you burn fat and eat meat at the same time without compromising on either.

"Comrade, the meat today is not very good. Why don't you buy less and come back tomorrow? And there is not much meat on the ribs. It is not cost-effective to buy them." The middle-aged uncle who was responsible for weighing and chopping the meat at the meat stall suggested.

It's obvious that this woman is from the city and doesn't know how to live.

"It's okay. Just help me weigh it. We need it tonight." Ou Ruoxing replied gently, and pointed to the pig offal in the frame under the table and said, "If uncle thinks I made a loss, can you give me some offal?"

The uncle selling pork looked at her as if she was mentally retarded and kept muttering in his heart, "This woman doesn't look stupid, so why does her request have such a strange look?"

The offal is so smelly that only a family so poor that they can't even afford to eat, but who is really craving for meat, would get some to take home to enjoy as a delicacy.

The uncle kept winking at Yang Yi who was standing next to him, wanting him to stop Ou Ruoxing.

Yang Yi knew that Ou Ruoxing didn't like to eat fatty meat, and his allowance was enough for her to eat a little meat, so he didn't stop her.

"Comrade, it's okay. You can weigh it. If you really feel bad, just give us less meat tickets!"

OK! This couple is different from ordinary people. Since I have fulfilled my obligation to remind them and they have no objection, let's weigh them.

With a few "bangs", the uncle chopped the ribs into small pieces and also cut a large piece of meat, exactly two pounds.

His craftsmanship is really amazing!

As long as it passes through his hands, he will cut you as much as you want, exactly the right amount!

The ribs and meat were directly put into a straw net bag, and as for the pig offal, I don’t know if they felt guilty about receiving so much money and meat coupons, but they gave half a pig intestine, half a pig heart, a pig kidney, and half a pig lung. In short, it looked like a lot.

Pig offal has a strong smell, so Yang Yi quickly took it and carried it to avoid letting his sweet-smelling wife be contaminated by the smell.

After buying everything, they hurried back to their own little home.

After a simple lunch, Ou Ruoxing instructed Yang Yi to clean the pig intestines and lungs.

After working for more than half an hour, I finally blanched the pork offal and put it into the pot to braise.

Yang Yi took advantage of the lunch time to notify a few close comrades to come over for dinner in the evening.

Of course, Political Commissar Lei is indispensable. After all, he made great efforts in the approval of the marriage report.

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Mrs. Li, the wife of Captain Huang next door, arrived. Also coming were Mrs. Tan from Political Commissar Lei's family, Mrs. Mai from Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng's family, and Mrs. Lan from Company Commander Zhong's family.

"Oh, how embarrassing! My brother Yi and I treated everyone to a housewarming meal, but now we have to trouble aunt and sisters-in-law to help." Seeing several aunts and sisters-in-law who came to help, Ou Ruoxing felt very embarrassed.

Sister Li took her hand and patted it, "Hey! What's there to be embarrassed about? We men are brothers in the army. As military wives, shouldn't we help each other?"

Several people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good!

At around 5:30 in the evening, Yang Yi returned with Political Commissar Lei and several other comrades.

"Xingxing, this is our regiment's Political Commissar Lei, this is the Second Battalion's Captain Huang, who came to help us move things last night, and this is our First Battalion's Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng, Instructor Li, and Company Commander Zhong."

Ou Ruoxing greeted them one by one, "Political Commissar Lei, Battalion Commander Huang, Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng, Instructor Li, Company Commander Zhong, hello! Thank you for coming to help warm up our little home! Come in and wash your hands, and get ready for dinner. Thanks to the help of several aunts and sisters-in-law, we were able to cook so much food!"

The house-warming banquet was divided into two tables. Yang Yi and a few of his comrades sat at one table, and Ou Ruoxing sat at another table with a few aunts, sisters-in-law, and their children.

People at two tables were eating and chatting lively, while the men each had a few drinks.
