Chapter 213: diamond watch
"Zhihuan, where are you from?" Hong Hua took a peek at the crucian carp, prawns and pig's trotters in the vegetable basket, and couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
Honghua and his wife live across the street from Su Ziyu's house. The smell of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts at noon today brought out the greed in their stomachs.
Gritting her teeth, she also bought a pound of fat meat.
Fortunately, we have garlic seedlings in our own fields, so we don’t have to spend money to buy them.
"Chuancheng." Shen Zhihuan's mouth always maintained a decent arc.
"You look like you are from the city at first glance, with thin skin and tender flesh. Unlike us country folk, who are exposed to the wind and sun every day and have a dark face." Hong Hua glanced at Shen Zhihuan's face, which was as white and tender as a bamboo shoot. Hands, envy authentic.
"I am also from the countryside, but I am in poor health and rarely go out, so I look a little whiter." Shen Zhihuan explained with a smile.
"If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't know that you are a country girl like us." Hong Hua said with a smile.
"Oh! By the way! I heard that our group leader is also from Sichuan City. You are not from the same village, are you?"
"We are indeed from the same village." Shen Zhihuan nodded.
"Yo! My childhood sweetheart!"
"No! No! It was introduced by someone else." If it weren't for Li Jiabao, she and he wouldn't have gotten together.
Li Jiabao…
Fortunately, she gave him a big red envelope of one hundred yuan.
"That's fate too!" Hong Hua said with a smile.
Suddenly something occurred to her. Hong Hua glanced around and whispered in Shen Zhihuan's ear: "Over there in the art troupe, there are several female art soldiers who like your leader. You need to give him some snacks in the future. Don't let him." People took advantage of it.”
Shen Zhihuan raised his eyebrows.
"Don't believe it, let me tell you, I heard from Deputy Wang's sister-in-law that the old leader of the 82nd Army was seduced by a nurse." Seeing that Shen Zhihuan didn't believe it, Hong Hua whispered again road.
"Nurse?" Shen Zhihuan chuckled.
If she remembered correctly, Mr. Shen's Xuexian seemed to be a nurse!
"I heard someone say that the current head of the art troupe, Shen, was the son of the old leader and the nurse." Hong Hua winked at Shen Zhihuan.
Shen Zhihuan curled her lips mockingly.
If this Shen and that Shen are the same Shen...
There will be a lot of fun to watch in the future!
"You can go out for a walk more often when you have nothing to do in the future, so that those who are restless will know that your captain has a master." Hong Hua reminded Shen Zhihuan by gently touching him with his elbow.
Shen Zhihuan smiled and nodded without comment.
She can't be his master.
"Sister-in-law Hong!" A delicate female voice came from behind the two of them.
As soon as the two of them turned around, a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing an orange jacket, panted and caught up with them.
Maybe it was because he was running a little hastily, but Bai Shengsheng's little face looked flushed now, his eyebrows were narrow and his eyes were narrow, and his voice sounded like Wu Nong's soft words.
"Xia Li, have you also gone to the supply and marketing cooperative?" Hong Hua glanced at the vegetable basket in the girl's hand.
"Yeah! I went to buy some ribs." The girl named Xia Li nodded, pulled away the vegetable basket in her hand, and put it in front of Shen Zhihuan and the other two.
After making sure that the two people in front of her had seen it, she closed the vegetable basket and took it back, carrying it to her side. "The ribs in these two days are very expensive."
The corners of Shen Zhihuan's mouth curled up slightly.
It feels like I’ve met a weirdo!
"Sister-in-law Hong, you go and buy it too..." Xia Li looked at the vegetable basket in Hong Hua's hand. The sight of crucian carp, prawns, and pig's trotters made her open her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't spit out a word.
"These belong to Zhihuan, I'm just helping her carry them." Seeing her staring at the vegetable basket in her hand, Hong Hua quickly explained with a smile.
Hearing what Hong Hua said, Xia Li moved her eyes to Shen Zhihuan's fair and delicate face. The next second, a complicated look flashed across her eyes, which seemed to be envy and jealousy.
"Xia Li, this is the regimental leader's wife, Shen Zhihuan, Zhihuan, this is Xia Li, deputy commander Chen's daughter-in-law." Hong Hua introduced with a smile.
"Hello!" Shen Zhihuan curled his lips. Although his attitude was not warm, it did not appear rude.
"Hello!" Xia Li twitched her lips, her tone a little indifferent.
"Xia Li, Zhihuan, it's getting late, let's go back quickly!" Hong Hua seemed to sense something was wrong and greeted the two of them with a smile.
Shen Zhihuan nodded immediately. If there weren't too many things and it was inconvenient to carry them, she would have really wanted to leave alone.
Xia Li stretched out her hand, revealing the diamond watch on her wrist. She raised her voice and said delicately, "It's four o'clock, it's getting late."
"Ouch! Xia Li, when did you buy a watch?" Hong Hua smiled and leaned over to take a look.
Watches are rare these days, and the cheapest one costs dozens of dollars.
"My old Chen took me to the department store to buy it yesterday." Xia Li smiled brightly.
Among the many military wives of the 82nd Army, apart from Deputy Wang’s daughter-in-law, who is a doctor in the hospital, I have never seen anyone wearing a watch!
"This is very expensive!" Hong Hua didn't dare to touch it, but looked at it from a distance.
In their village, the village chief only has a watch on his wrist. It looks like a treasure. Except for important occasions or when he wears it to meetings in the town, it is usually locked in a cabinet and his wife and children are not allowed to touch it.
"It's not expensive, only about a hundred yuan." Xia Li looked proud.
"What a bastard! Isn't it expensive for a hundred yuan?" Hong Hua exclaimed.
About a hundred dollars...
It was enough for her and her family to eat and drink for several years.
Many families in their hometown cannot save that much money in their lifetime.
"Shen Zhihuan, has your Captain Su bought you a watch?" Xia Li turned to look at Shen Zhihuan, her face bright.
Shen Zhihuan shook his head.
"Your Captain Su's salary is very high! Let him take you to buy a watch with you tomorrow." Xia Li said and stretched out her hand, revealing her diamond watch.
Suddenly, a ragged man jumped out of the woods on the side of the road, took off the watch from Xia Li's wrist, turned around and disappeared into the woods again.
Because the thing happened so suddenly, Xia Li stretched out her hand and didn't react for a while.
As a senior movie enthusiast who is used to watching all kinds of action movies, she has to praise...
Clean!
"Watch...watch..." Hong Hua trembled and pointed at Xia Li's wrist, and then at the forest. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.
"Ouch..." Xia Li burst into tears after reacting.
I feel sorry for the watch, but I don’t dare to chase it.
The forest looked pitch-black inside, and who knew what would happen if we went in.
Shen Zhihuan pursed her lips, not wanting to laugh.
In a short while, the place was crowded with people watching the excitement.
Hong Hua's face turned pale as she stammered about the robbery of her watch.
Those who watched the excitement listened with great interest.
Several kind-hearted aunties comforted Xia Li softly, while the person involved was crying by herself, completely immersed in her own sadness of losing her watch.
