The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 440: Repairing the Canal

The salesperson quickly took a pen and said as he wrote out the ticket:

"You have to get invoices for these two coats. Wait a minute, I'll get the invoices out."

When selling expensive goods like this, you need to issue an invoice for the account. So, you have to write it down.

After the money was opened, the salesperson next to him came over and found a cloth bag to put all the clothes in. After counting the bill, the total amount was 313 yuan.

Qiu Yue'e stepped forward and took money out of Liang Xinyue's bag to pay the bill. To be honest, many people around her looked at her with envy. It was rare for people to buy more than 300 yuan at a time here. And this family was so eye-catching.

After paying, I hung the bag of clothes on the cart that was pushing the two little treasures. When I passed by, I saw someone selling balloons. Little Jiajia shouted happily:

"I want balloons."

I bought a few more balloons for the little ones, but now their balloons all rely on blowing air in them, so they can't float.

I could only tie it up with thread and then tie one on each child's hand.

After the place selling ready-made clothes, this side sells shoes. Liang Xinyue is planning to buy a pair of leather shoes for Qiu Yue'e.

Let Qiu Yue'e pick a pair for herself. Qiu Yue'e was originally planning to buy a pair. Anyway, now that her sister has bought clothes, it will not look good without a pair of leather shoes.

Qiu Yue'e didn't hesitate to pick a pair of shoes. She picked a pair of small round-toed leather shoes. After trying them on, they fit her perfectly. The heels were not too high, just a little higher than low heels. It was just right. She hadn't learned to wear high heels yet, so she tried them on to get used to them.

Liang Xinyue also thought it was okay, and turned around and saw a pair of suede leather boots on their counter. And they happened to be khaki:

"Yu'e, come here and take a look at this pair. They should be wearable in winter and will definitely look good with your coat."

Even Guo Xiaoxue who came over thought that the combination looked good, so Liang Xinyue asked the salesperson to take it out and try it on.

When they bought the coat just now, several people at the counter recognized them. The salesperson took it out and tried it on. It was a little loose, but the salesperson said:

"It's only fall now, and you'll have to wear thick socks in the winter. These are just right for me."

Liang Xinyue also thought so, and she looked really good in it.

Liang Xinyue took a look and asked:

"Comrade, do you have size 38 left?"

He turned around and asked Guo Xiaoxue:

"What size are you?"

Xiaoxue said hurriedly:

"Sister, just buy me some clothes. We have shoes for you. We even have fur shoes for winter. I'll send you two pairs of fur shoes later. They're very warm and we give them out every year."

Liang Xinyue knew that the fur shoes in the army were very warm, but unfortunately she couldn't wear Zhou Guoliang's.

But Sister Yang could wear Chief Steward Liu's shoes, so Sister Yang always took out Chief Steward Liu's old fur shoes to wear.

After Zhou Guoliang knew that Liang Xinyue's feet were going to get frostbite, he also applied to his superiors for women's shoes, saying that he did not want his own shoes and wanted to use women's shoes instead. He didn't know why his superiors did not agree.

It seems to be saying that we can’t start this now.

Now that Xiaoxue said this, Liang Xinyue was really moved:

"Really? I get frostbite on my feet in the winter, so that's great."

"I wear size 38. I get one pair every year. I haven't even worn last year's pair yet. I'm going to get another pair this year. I'll send you two pairs when the time comes."

"Hahaha, that's perfect, I want it. Okay, one pair will do, no need for two."

"Then give a pair to sister Yue'e."

"No, no, only my sister will get frostbite. If I don't go out in winter, I don't even need to wear socks. My feet are still warm."

Qiu Yue'e tried on suede boots, which really fit her and looked good. The boots were not high-topped, but only reached a little below the calves, which is exactly what young girls like.

So, Qiu Yue'e bought two more pairs of shoes, but not pants. Liang Xinyue directly bought a piece of woolen cloth and a piece of dark blue cloth. Aunt Li knew how to cut them, and then Sister Fu could use the sewing machine to make the pants once, and they could be used by the whole family.

Then I bought some small things, such as soap and snow cream, etc. Then I bought some wool and knitted a sweater myself.

As a result, on the way back, Xiaobao couldn't sit any more and had to be led along because the tricycle had to be loaded with the shopping items.

But with the balloon in hand, Xiaobao was very happy.

After returning home and putting down his things, Dad Liang went to pick up Dabao first.

Aunt Li was busy making porridge and cooking for the children.

Liang Xinyue, who had been sitting for a long time, went back to her room to lie down for a while. She had to get up and eat when everyone came back.

A few children went to the patio to play with balloons.

After packing up, Qiu Yue'e looked after the children, while Guo Xiaoxue came to help Liang Xinyue with some care. After checking the wound on her left hand and the stretch of her left hand, she let Liang Xinyue sleep for a while. She came out to look after the children, and Qiu Yue'e went to help her mother cook.

In the evening, everyone came back and sat around the full table to eat happily.

Liang Xinyue still had to work for a while in the evening. Xiao Wei told her about the affairs of the bureau and said:

"The date has been confirmed. We will start work next Thursday in a joint campaign. Xinshui Village will also have to send some people to participate in the campaign."

This large-scale battle to build the canal is also a major event for the entire county.

After Liang Xinyue's incident, the provincial and municipal governments paid more attention to this project and allocated some more funds.

Xiao Wei added:

"Tomorrow I will go with Director Ren and County Magistrate Chen to confirm the route and draw out the roadbed. The village that provides the stone has already started a major battle. Stonemasons from each village have been selected. A total of 142 stonemasons have been selected from the entire county. They will start in that village today."

Liang Xinyue said:

"So the first major battle took place in Gaoshi Village?"

"Well, more than a hundred stonemasons are here today. The county has also organized thirty-five trucks to transport the stones. They will be transported to the designated location when the time comes."

"I don't know much about stones, but Director Ren and his colleagues all said that the stones in Gaoshi Village are all good stones."

Liang Xinyue nodded and said:

"That's good. As long as the work goes smoothly, you still have to remind Director Ren that when building roads and bridges, and when breaking and lifting stones, you must pay attention to safety."

"Safety comes first. We should also put up signs that say: Safety first. We must pay attention to safety. No matter who is injured, we will have to pay compensation. The loss will outweigh the gain."

"Well, County Magistrate Chen also talked about this today."

Liang Xinyue looked at the division of labor table that Xiao Wei brought back. The section allocated to Xinshui Village was not much, and it was said to be only 35 meters long. Each village in the county was assigned a part, so the length built by each village was not very long.
