Chapter 13 It took a year’s salary to purchase
Back at the guest house, Huo Jingchen borrowed the stove and took the cold meals to the small kitchen.
Xia Mi also followed.
She sat on the pony and stared at the stove, "What on earth are you going to tell me?"
"Once the marriage report is over, the marriage certificate will come out soon. I'm going to go to the city to buy something tomorrow. Do you have anything to buy?"
As a person from later generations, Xia Mi attaches great importance to the sense of ritual.
It was obviously unrealistic to have a grand wedding in this era, but she still wanted the wedding dress.
She nodded, winked, and looked cute and cute, "Please help me buy two pieces of red cloth, the kind I would wear for weddings. I see Sister Shengmei has a sewing machine at home, and I want to make a wedding dress myself."
Huo Jingchen grinned, "What else?"
“There are also pearl flowers, you don’t need too many, just buy a little bit to make it interesting.”
Xia Mi struggled to recall the wedding styles of this era, and began to imagine what hairstyle and clothing she would have on the wedding day.
Huo Jingchen agreed and silently kept everything she needed in mind.
After dinner, Huo Jingchen had to go back to the army.
Xia Mi locked the doors and windows and meditated into the space.
She made a total of 225 from razor clams today, plus 45 from oysters, for a total of 270. Counting those from the past few days, she now has about 300 yuan.
With the start-up capital, Xia Mi took the lead in opening a storage service, and a five-square-meter space appeared next to the mall.
Then I went to the mall and bought the tools I needed to catch the sea, all of which had temporary storage space.
After everything was dealt with, Xia Mi fell on the bed and lamented the joy of making money. While she was happy, she recalled her previous life when she was lying on the bed and lamented that money was hard to make and shit was unpalatable.
After thinking about it, Xia Mi fell asleep leisurely, sleeping peacefully and breathing lightly.

The next day, at dawn, Huo Jingchen and the two of them were already waiting at the pier, preparing to take the earliest boat into the city.
The ship moved toward the shore. After an hour and a half, the ship docked.
As soon as we get off the boat, the tempting aroma of steamed buns wafts in the wind, making people's stomachs growl.
"Let's go, I'll treat you. Eat more. Today is no easier than training."
The other two people smiled happily and disagreed. How many things can they buy for a wedding?
When they entered the restaurant, the two of them were not polite to Huo Jingchen. They asked for five cages of meat buns, three bowls of porridge, and three bowls of soy milk.
Under the shocked gaze of the waiter, the three of them quickly finished breakfast.
The real ordeal has just begun, and the two people who were so complacent soon stopped laughing.
Huo Jingchen took out the money first, plus the tickets he had saved over the past six years, and put a thick stack in his pocket.
They first went to the department store, and the pots and pans that started making them think they were taking a break today.
Next, they saw with their own eyes that Huo Jingchen spent 125 yuan to buy a lady's plum blossom watch without blinking an eye.
Little did they know, something shocking was still waiting behind them.
A radio at 80, a sewing machine at 150, a dressing cabinet at 180, and a bicycle at 150.
Huo Jingchen just moved his eyes to the closet, and the two of them were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and stepped forward to pull her away.
"Captain Huo, you can let carpenters build cabinets and other items, so you don't have to come to the city to buy them. It's a waste of money and tickets."
Another person echoed, "Yeah, why does a dressing cabinet cost 180?! This department store really doesn't cheat poor people like us."
"What do you know? Others are selling this style. The three cabinets are all made of the same wood. This one has a large oval mirror and two drawers embedded in the tabletop."
"It looks good, but the price is not good..."
Huo Jingchen raised her eyebrows slightly. She was very satisfied with this dressing cabinet. She was sure that Xia Mi would like the style.
Next, a dazzling landscape appeared in the department store. Huo Jingchen and another person carried the dressing table together, and the other person pushed the bicycle. The bicycle was covered with pots and pans packed in net bags, and two hot water bottles were hung on the handlebars, one on the left and the other on the right.
Just when the two orderlies thought everything was alright, Huo Jingchen raised his legs and prepared to walk back.
"Captain Huo, you still have something to buy?!" He was so excited that his voice broke, causing people waiting for the boat to turn around frequently.
Huo Jingchen responded, "There are still some things. I can go alone. You guys can take a look at the good things here."
Huo Jingchen went back to buy fabrics. The rough and tumble man's aesthetic was lost and he relied on the eloquent salesperson to sell the fabrics.
When he appeared in their sight again, his hands were already full of cloth.
"Captain Huo used up all his savings in the past six years to get married?"
Another person analyzed calmly, "Do you think the battalion commander's salary is the same as yours? It might only be one year."
Huo Jingchen calculated the time correctly. Before he even put his things away, the steward on the ship informed him to get on the ship.
The people in the boat watched the three people moving things without blinking.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After the things were moved, someone tentatively came over to inquire, "Comrade, are we going to open a new supply and marketing cooperative on the island?"
The orderly was so tired that he was panting, his eyes were distracted, and he was so tired that he waved his hands in denial.
"No."
"Then you are buying so many things for your family members?"
"Our battalion commander will get married soon, and these are all prepared for his wife."
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the boat immediately envied everyone. Who would marry a wife who didn't piece together the thirty-two legs and three turns and one sound.
The battalion commander's money was all new as soon as he made a move. Although it was not his own money, the hearts of those who were traveling with him were bleeding.
The ship was bumpy all the way, and Huo Jingchen was looking at things in the warehouse, for fear of bumping into them, and only occasionally came up to take a breath.
-
Xia Mi asked the eldest sister at the guest house early in the morning to find out the location of the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a bag of peach cakes and canned fruits to go to Jiang Shengmei's house.
The door was open, and Xia Mi heard laughter coming from inside before he entered.
Xia Mi raised his hand and knocked on the door, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
Jiang Shengmei heard the noise and came out.
Xia Mi smiled slightly and thanked, "Sister Shengmei, I'm here to thank you for lending me something two days ago. It's really troublesome for you."
"I can't take it. Why are you so polite? You didn't delay me or anything. Take the things back quickly."
Jiang Shengmei took a closer look and almost stared down.
For such a small thing, I even bought peach cakes and canned fruits to express my gratitude.
Fan Chunhua stuck her head out to observe. This was her first time seeing Xia Mi.
The woman's facial features are delicate and refined, like hibiscus flowers after the rain, and she looks delicate and beautiful.
A married woman with two children looked like her, let alone the hot-blooded Huo Jingchen.
Even so, Fan Chunhua didn't look at Xia Mi favorably. Her daughter cried all night last night and her eyes were swollen like walnuts in the morning.
Fan Chunhua walked to the yard and interrupted the conversation between the two.
She asked knowingly, and glanced at Xia Mi with a pair of shrewd eyes, "Is this Camp Commander Huo's fiancée?"
"Yes, this is Xia Mi. By the way, Xia Mi, let me introduce to you. This is Instructor Li's lover, Fan Chunhua. You can call her Sister-in-law Chunhua."
Xia Mi nodded politely and took the initiative to greet me, "Sister-in-law Chunhua, I just came here and I don't understand many things. Thank you for taking care of me."
"Don't dare. If you haven't noticed, your battalion commander Huo's lion wants to eat people."
