Chapter 452 Return to the Camp
The supply and marketing cooperative in Wumu Town is indeed a little small, and there is basically nothing that Ye Shu likes or wants to buy.
But even so, she still bought a lot of bags when she left, and she and Xiao Gao and the other three had their hands full.
For example, brown sugar, eggs, red dates, etc., I bought everything I could!
She bought four of everything that was subject to purchase restrictions!
Two plates of freshly baked egg cakes. She first asked, "Is there a purchase limit?"
The teller here was unaware of the recent "purchase restriction" lawsuit and replied directly: "No purchase restriction."
So, Ye Shu smiled and pointed, "I want both of these plates. Help me pack them up!"
The cashier was surprised and looked her up and down. In the end, he didn't say anything and packed the food for her.
There were also crispy biscuits and twisted dough sticks on the counter. Ye Shu saw that they looked like they were freshly baked today, so he said, "I want all of these too!"
The two cashiers who had been watching her from afar, seeing how much she was buying, couldn't help but ask, "Can you finish all the food you're buying?"
"Just a kind reminder, it's hot now, so don't leave these things out. If you don't finish them, they'll go bad!"
"Country people don't know anything when they come to the city. Don't let them spoil when you buy them. It would be a waste of money!"
Ye Shu ignored them, but the pastry clerk kindly asked Ye Shu, "Do you really want to buy so much?"
Ye Shu smiled slightly: "Sure, there are many people in our village."
Tellers: “…”
After buying the things here, Ye Shu went to the vegetable market for a stroll.
There is no need to buy food, meat and vegetables. Firstly, they now have all kinds of fish and other products. Secondly, the camp will go to the city to buy things at fixed times, mainly meat and food, and will also bring enough for the family compound.
Besides, if there is really not enough meat to eat, can't we go up the mountain and get some nearby?
The same goes for vegetables. Now the wild vegetables on the mountain are sprouting. If there are two more rains, the mountain will be full of mushrooms, which we can’t eat all of them!
Moreover, there are planned vegetable plots in the camp, and the vegetables should be sprouting by now.
So after walking around the market, Ye Shu didn't buy anything.
Fortunately, they didn’t buy it. Xiao Gao and the other two breathed a sigh of relief because they couldn’t carry any more!
They now have everything they need to eat, drink and use, and they can even set up a stall on the spot to sell them!
Outside Wumu Town is the wilderness, and beyond the entire wilderness are mountains.
The landform here is very special. There are fertile black soil, barren Gobi, barren mountains and endless green mountains. The deeper you go, the more virgin forests there are.
Further north, the terrain is higher, and there are snow-capped mountains and snowfields.
But it would take two days and one night for a carriage to travel from here back to the camp.
In order to reduce the traces of their activities outside, Xiao Gao and his friends never stay in guesthouses when they go out. If the time is short, they just rest outside.
If the time is long, I will try to borrow a house from my fellow villagers.
But you can't borrow it often and become familiar with the person.
They are rough men and don’t care what happens, but they still have their sister-in-law here!
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Gao asked Ye Shu for his opinion:
"We're running out of time to get to the next town, but there's a village about three hours ahead. Do you want to stay with the locals there for the night?"
Ye Shu asked: "Don't worry about me, just do what you want to do."
Xiao Gao was in a dilemma. If it weren't for his sister-in-law, they would have traveled overnight!
Ye Shu also guessed it, so he said, "Then let's hurry up. I'll get some sleep first, and I'll replace you guys later in the night!"
They had two carriages in total. The one Ye Shu was riding in was filled with things she bought, and the other one was carrying coal.
Ye Shu thought that the coal was bought by them for the camp, so he didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, these coal blocks came from a mining area under the jurisdiction of Huo Yisheng.
Xiao Gao and his team came directly from the mining area to pick up Ye Shu, and the coal was also to be transported to the camp.
Xiao Gao and the other two discussed it and decided to continue their journey overnight as usual. They had too much stuff with them and it would be inconvenient to stay at a fellow villager's house.
Anyway, it’s not too cold at night now, and there is a quilt in the carriage where my sister-in-law is lying, so she won’t be cold.
As for asking my sister-in-law to stay up late to drive the car?
They never thought that the three of them, with two cars, could take turns to rest.
So they moved forward with torches lit. When they were hungry, they stopped to eat some dry food, boiled some hot water on the spot, and poured it into the kettle when it cooled down, so that the horses could have a rest.
After rushing so hard, we finally arrived at the camp before dark on the afternoon of the third day.
The camp at this time was completely different from when Ye Shu left. Both the soldiers' dormitories and the houses in the family area had been completely completed.
Everyone moved into the house, and all the tents on the open space were taken down. Now they are all planned into vegetable plots and farmland.
The neatly arranged vegetable plots and a few scattered green fields that have already sprouted completely make people feel inexplicably happy.
At this time, the children have all finished class and are chasing and playing in the open space outside.
They were the first to spot the returning carriage.
Han Cheng was the first to see Ye Shu returning with the carriage, and he immediately ran over and called out, "Your mother is back!"
Guaiguai was playing tennis, and she was now swinging the racket quite well. Upon hearing this, she ignored the little white ball, raised the racket in her hand, turned around and ran out.
Han Cheng was startled and hurried to catch up: "Don't be so anxious! Run slowly!"
As soon as he started running, the second and third children who were playing not far away also started running.
The three little ones seemed to have telepathy. Without saying anything, the second and third ones knew that their mother had returned!
Sanbaoer, who was originally playing happily with his two brothers, became unhappy when he saw his playmates running away. He ran after them, shouting as he ran!
Seeing that the second and third children ignored him and ran faster and faster, he thought that his playmates were gone and didn't want him anymore. He felt aggrieved, his mouth pouted, and he was about to cry again.
When he ran like this, Hu Baoer and Niu Baoer had to follow him.
So the older children protected the younger ones and went outside.
Ye Shu hadn't seen the three little ones for a long time. When he was in the capital, he was busy every day and had no time to think about anything else.
But on this journey back, she felt like she was homesick, and she missed them more and more every day.
Now that the three little ones were right in front of her, she couldn't help herself, her eyes turned red and tears fell.
Back to the day when Ye Shu left, the three little ones cried loudly.
Guaiguai couldn't stop crying, and later Han Cheng coaxed her into silence with a little white ball.
The good boy stopped crying, and the second and third children also calmed down.
It’s not that the second and third children didn’t miss their mother, but they were naturally unhappy when they noticed that Han Xiaobawang was getting close to their sister, so they held their sister on both sides, and the three little ones snuggled up to each other and fell asleep crying.
