A straight asphalt road was under construction in the village.
On both sides of the road, there were several low-rise buildings.
There was a small supermarket and various kinds of little shops. It was a small village, and yet it had complete commodities.
And it was strikingly similar to Gu Qingjiu’s home.
On the two sides of the streets, pedestrians came and went. A number of soldiers in uniform were around, and most of them came over for the weekend.
With that, it didn’t look like an ordinary little village.
But it was still one bustling with life.
Yu Bao’er had long felt bored from staying in the camp, and so in the instant, she reached the village, she dashed into the supermarket by the roadside and bought a load of tidbits.
She had no place to spend the allowance her parents gave her, other than contributing it to the cafeteria inside the camp.
It had been a long time since she ate tidbits, so naturally, she craved for it.
Gu Qingjiu was alright though.
She had been in prison for such a long time, so she was used to eating steamed cornbread and cold hard rice.
The present Qingjiu considered the food served in the military cafeteria as a delicacy.
In the past, she too loved to eat some tidbits. But after so many things that happened to her, and her joining the military after she was reborn, Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel many cravings facing these various tidbits.
“Xiao Jiu’er, take whatever you want to eat. It’s my treat!”
Yu Bao’er generously patted her chest and had the air of a rich person.
Her manner made Gu Qingjiu laugh out loud. “You just take what you want. I’m not too fond of tidbits.”
“Okay.” Yu Bao’er ignored what she said. “Just take whatever you want. I’ll pay for it later.”
Her hands were busy as she spoke, the tidbits nearly spilling out of her arms.
Gu Qingjiu helped her retrieve a supermarket basket and asked, “Can you bring the tidbits into the camp?”
“If I can’t then at most they would be confiscated. It doesn’t matter. I just wanted to eat some in any case.”
Yu Bao’er was truly craving for it. Moreover, her family wasn’t poor, so it didn’t pain her heart to buy so many at one go.
Finally, with a full basket of tidbits, she went to the counter to pay for the bill.
An old woman was standing in front of them in the queue and there was only one counter in that small supermarket. When Yu Bao’er finally reached her turn, someone suddenly placed a pack of cigarettes and several packets of instant noodles on the counter. A man dressed in black spacesuit squeezed his way into the queue.
Yu Bao’er frowned and said in a displeased tone, “Can’t you queue up? I’m standing in front!”
That cashier glanced awkwardly at Yu Bao’er, then placed down the cigarettes that she was supposed to scan the barcode. The cashier said, “Sir, wait for a moment. This young lady hasn’t settled her bill.”
“Wait for what!?”
That man seemed to be around forty and was slightly fat. His overall aura exuded a barbaric feeling.
Hearing this, he glared at the cashier and then stared at Yu Bao’er in a nasty manner. “So what if I jump your queue? If you’re that great, beat me up!”
He sounded like a complete rogue.
Yu Bao’er had a bad temper, to begin with. Even though the man before her looked much heavier than she was, anger surged to her head as she growled, “Are you shameless or what? How uncultured to be cutting queue!”
Although Yu Bao’er was arrogant in the past, she would at least abide by social etiquette. This man was, of course, an uncultured person in her eyes.
That man was clearly shocked and furious to hear what she had said. He cussed, “F*ck your mother. Are you girls itching for a beating?”
