Wang Xue comes to the supply and marketing cooperative every day. Although she has stored vegetables at home for the winter, they are all vegetables and have no oil.

The supply and marketing cooperative sells mutton fat and offal from time to time, and you can also occasionally buy lard.

For families with children, this is something that always needs to be considered, because adults can go without eating it, but children can't.

The man from earlier was just a minor incident; Wang Xue didn't pay any attention to the man with the scar on his face.

She pulled Qiao Lanshu toward the meat counter.

They didn't arrive very early; if it weren't for the purchase limit on lamb offal, they probably wouldn't have been able to buy any.

Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu each bought one jin (500g).

Qiao Lanshu doesn't know how to make mutton offal soup, but Qin Yuanzheng probably does.

There were still yellow flour buns and multigrain steamed buns at home, so Qiao Lanshu felt there was nothing else she needed to buy.

However, she still had a one-yuan meat coupon, so she used it to buy mutton, intending to fry it and use it to stir-fry vegetables.

The people here also love to drink oil tea, which is made by stir-frying mutton fat and flour. It can be eaten after being soaked in boiling water. Qiao Lanshu doesn't know how it's made, and she doesn't like to eat it.

She pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what to cook, so she finally gave up and stopped thinking about it.

When we get home, I'll have Zheng Ge cook for us.

After they finished shopping, Company Commander Xiao Yang accompanied the two of them out, and Wang Xue parted ways with Qiao Lanshu.

Xiao Yang escorted Qiao Lanshu towards the military compound.

Not long after walking, Qiao Lanshu looked back and, sure enough, she saw Chu Liangjun again.

Chu Liangjun is really bold.

Even when he saw that there was an officer following Qiao Lanshu, he still did not hide and followed them openly.

Chu Liangjun seized the opportunity, keeping a distance of only a few dozen meters, following him from afar. Even if the Emperor himself came, he couldn't do anything to him.

Xiao Yang couldn't say anything, after all, it was a street that anyone could walk on, and he couldn't very well stop Chu Liangjun from walking, could he?

Xiao Yang whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you know him?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "He's a porter at the supply and marketing cooperative, I think he's from the village."

Xiao Yang's expression turned serious. He said, "It seems like he's following you. Don't go out alone these next few days. Wait at the guardhouse after get off work every day. If the regimental commander doesn't come, I'll come pick you up."

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Okay, thank you, Company Commander Yang."

Xiao Yang waved his hand and said, "It's what I should do, sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite."

After he dropped Qiao Lanshu off at the military compound and watched her enter the compound, Xiao Yang turned and left.

Chu Liangjun saw Qiao Lanshu enter the military compound from afar, and immediately turned and left.

He was somewhat shocked because he hadn't expected Qiao Lanshu to live in a military compound.

He thought the other person was just from a well-off family, but he didn't expect them to be this well-off.

That would be a difficult situation.

Chu Liangjun hesitated.

It was obvious that this young girl was not someone he could afford to mess with.

But no matter what, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

After returning home, Chu Liangjun thought about asking about Qiao Lanshu's situation, but he had just arrived in the city and didn't know anyone there.

The people in the team didn't have a good relationship with him either, since he didn't work hard and was lazy and shirked his duties, so no one wanted to talk to him much.

He currently has no one to ask.

Chu Liangjun then started wandering around the city again. Since he had nothing better to do, he liked to stroll around the city and see what entertainment there was.

……

That evening, when Qin Yuanzheng returned home, he asked Qiao Lanshu, "I heard from Xiao Yang that someone was following you when you left work?"

After delivering Qiao Lanshu, Xiao Yang went back and reported to Qin Yuanzheng.

He also told Qin Yuanzheng about the person following behind them.

Qin Yuanzheng thought that his wife was young and beautiful, and looked easy to bully, so it was inevitable that some people would come up to her without thinking.

Qiao Lanshu sat opposite him, drinking a bowl of rice porridge. When she heard this, she nodded: "Yes, it's been with us all the way."

After the initial panic, Qiao Lanshu is now relatively calm when she thinks of Chu Liangjun.

She said to Qin Yuanzheng, "Don't worry, Brother Zheng, Xiao Yang will take me, nothing will happen."

That Chu Liangjun was a born bad guy, but he was also afraid of dying.

Seeing that she was accompanied by soldiers, he didn't dare to approach her at all.

However, since she was planning to scheme against him, she still needed to have some opportunities to meet with Chu Liangjun.

Qin Yuanzheng said with a stern face, "The Zheng Daliu incident just happened in this district, and now there are still people daring to follow female comrades. It seems that the publicity efforts of various departments are still not up to par."

Fortunately, he drove Qiao Lanshu to work in the morning and arranged for someone to pick her up in the afternoon, so Qiao Lanshu will definitely be fine.

Qin Yuanzheng has already asked Xiao Yang to check the information on the man who was stalking the woman.

He said, "I'll have someone check, and if the other party has a criminal record, we'll send them directly to a labor camp."

Sending him to a labor camp would mean at most three years, but what Qiao Lanshu wanted was for him to be shot.

She was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Zheng, perhaps it's a misunderstanding? If he continues to stalk women, it's not too late to investigate him later."

Qin Yuanzheng disagreed, saying, "You're too kind. To deal with these thugs, you should just send them to a labor camp."

Although that's what they say, Qin Yuanzheng can't just send people to labor camps without any reason.

The prerequisite for labor reform is that the other party has committed a crime, in which case they can be sentenced to prison.

Qin Yuanzheng kept this in mind, and the next morning, he watched Qiao Lanshu enter the food factory gate before he left with peace of mind.

Qiao Lanshu had just started work when she saw Liu Weihong, the supervisor of the pastry workshop, coming over.

Liu Weihong had a gray towel tied around her neck and was wearing a coat.

It looks nice, but in this weather, it's actually quite cold to wear a coat.

Liu Weihong, holding the order form, walked over, knocked on the window, and said, "Hey, open the door quickly, I need to pick up the goods."

Qiao Lanshu opened the window, glanced at her, and reached out her hand: "Manager Liu, let me see the delivery slip."

Liu Weihong frowned and said impatiently, "It was you, wasn't it? You changed the system as soon as you arrived. Now everyone has to take a form. You're really something."

As she spoke, she threw the sheet in her hand through the window.

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lan glanced at her expressionlessly, while Liu Weihong glared at her: "What are you looking at? Hurry up, the things need to be delivered to the director's office of the Industry Bureau. If you dawdle any longer, you won't be able to handle the consequences if the leaders blame you."

Qiao Lanshu picked up the forms scattered on the table, signed them, then kept one as a copy and threw the rest out the window.

One of the photos even hit Liu Weihong's face.

Liu Weihong immediately snapped, "What have you done? You're just a lowly warehouse clerk, how can you be so rude!"

Qiao Lanshu couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to her.

She took the key and opened the warehouse door: "Manager Liu, hurry up if you want to get the goods, or I'll lock the door."

Liu Weihong angrily picked up the list. She walked to the warehouse door, looked at Qiao Lanshu's bulky cotton-padded coat and her dusty cotton shoes, and said smugly.

"What's wrong? You're still living such a poor life after marrying a military officer? He wouldn't even buy you a coat and leather shoes, would he? So some military officers not only have infertility, but they're also broke?"

When Qiao Lanshu heard her say that, she noticed that Liu Weihong was wearing a pair of high-heeled boots.

The boots are red leather with pointed toes and a small wool trim around the edge; they look quite stylish.

However, these shoes are fine to wear in the fall, but they would be too cold for your legs to wear in the harsh winter.

Qiao Lanshu was wearing thick cotton shoes, and even her toes felt numb after walking outside for a long time, let alone wearing these thin leather shoes.

Oh right, she finally realized that something was off about Liu Weihong today.

Liu Weihong is wearing a new coat, scarf, and leather boots today.

She was wearing a cotton-padded jacket before.

Seeing that she was being stared at, Liu Weihong became even more smug. She sniffed and thought the cold wind was a bit strong today.

But she still said smugly, "How about that? Qin Yuanzheng didn't buy you a coat, did he? See? This is a cashmere coat, and leather boots too. He didn't buy you any either, did he? Don't think that being an officer makes you so great. Officers don't just get a fixed salary. How much does a regimental commander earn? A little over a hundred at most. Look at these leather boots of mine, a pair costs thirty or forty yuan. He can't afford them!"

Then she added, "But my boyfriend is rich. He can buy me anything I want, but your man can't."

In the end, she still harbored resentment over Qiao Lanshu's previous comments about how capable her husband was.

The things Qiao Lanshu said last time really angered Liu Weihong.

She was a petty person to begin with, and she was holding a grudge, vowing to find a better man than Qin Yuanzheng.

And sure enough, she found it.

He bought her leather boots that cost only a few dozen yuan and cashmere coats that cost several dozen yuan without hesitation.

I must say, this man is quite generous.

Qiao Lanshu admitted that her coat was indeed quite nice, but the leather boots were out of the question, and the high heels, especially in the dead of winter, would make her feet hurt.

Qiao Lanshu couldn't help but ask her, "It's below minus ten degrees Celsius, aren't you cold dressed like that?"

Liu Weihong was shivering from the cold, but she stubbornly said, "What do you know? This kind of cashmere coat is the warmest! Wearing it is like wearing a whole coat of cashmere. Tell me, do you think sheep are afraid of the cold? Don't even mention minus ten degrees Celsius, even minus one hundred degrees Celsius, it won't be cold!"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu felt that Liu Weihong wasn't very bright.

He looks like a perfectly normal person, but when he talks, it's like he has an intellectual disability.

Qiao Lanshu said, "Hurry up and grab your things, I'm going to lock the door."

Liu Weihong wasn't afraid of the cold despite wearing a cashmere coat; she felt cold even in a cotton-padded jacket. She wanted to hurry back to her warm little house to drink some hot water and read a book.

I don't want to be stuck here in the cold wind while listening to Liu Weihong brag.

After showing off enough, and because she was indeed freezing, Liu Weihong quickly went to the warehouse and took out two boxes of cookies and a large jar of canned yellow peaches.

This thing is to be given to the leaders of the Industry Bureau. Usually, Liu Weihong is the one who rushes to do these kinds of good things.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hook up with her current wealthy boyfriend.

Qiao Lanshu locked the warehouse door and went back to her small house.

Liu Weihong held the canned food; she wasn't wearing gloves, and her hands felt almost numb from the cold.

She called out to Qiao Lanshu, "Hey! Hurry up and take these things to my workshop office."

With a "bang," the only response she received was the sound of Qiao Lanshu closing the door.

Liu Weihong was furious: "You! What makes you so great? I'm the supervisor!"

So what if she married a military officer? She thinks she's something special!

Once she and her boyfriend get their marriage certificate, she won't be afraid of Qin Yuanzheng at all!

Qiao Lanshu didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Weihong, but then Chu Liangjun showed up.

As expected, she knew that Chu Liangjun would come again.

But what she didn't expect was that Liu Weihong was also there, which made things difficult.

Chu Liangjun came here on his own today, using his identity as a deliveryman from the supply and marketing cooperative's fleet to get into the food factory again.

But he actually came to see Qiao Lanshu; he had no goods to pick up at all.

When Qiao Lanshu saw Chu Liangjun approaching, she immediately opened the window and shouted at Liu Weihong, "So what if I bought you a cashmere coat and leather shoes? If I wanted them, a man would buy them for me. They're not worth much money, what's there to brag about?"

Liu Weihong was already carrying biscuits and canned food, ready to leave.

Hearing this, she immediately exploded, turning around and shouting, "What nonsense are you spouting? It's worthless! Do you know how much this outfit cost? One hundred and fifty yuan! Do you even have one hundred and fifty yuan? How can you say that?"

Qiao Lanshu glanced at Chu Liangjun, who had approached, and said, "Although I don't have one, I'm sure there are men willing to buy one for me. Whoever buys one for me, I'll be with them. It's easy, isn't it? It's only 150 yuan. I'm sure someone can afford it."

Liu Weihong was stunned by her words.

She stared at Qiao Lanshu in disbelief and said, "Whoever buys it for you, you'll be with them? Do you know what you're saying? What if your family..."

Qiao Lanshu interjected, "Even if my brother Zheng were here, I'd say the same thing: whoever buys it for me, I'll be friends with them. But if you try to show off in front of me, I'll be unhappy. I want it too, is that not allowed?"

Liu Weihong: "..."

See? See? She told me Qin Yuanzheng wasn't good enough!

He is not only infertile, he is also impotent!

If he were even slightly more useful or manly, Qiao Lanshu wouldn't have said such a thing, would he?
