1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 54 Ma Chunzhi's Decision
"Steward, I've given you the recipe. It's up to you to decide how to use it. Don't forget my reward: the certificate, towel, teacup, kettle, and washbasin."

Gu Qingwu handed the prescription she had prepared in advance to the quartermaster. When the quartermaster saw the prescription, he smiled. He was indeed smart. This piece of paper must have been written in advance.

"Okay, the rewards are definitely not small."

The quartermaster smiled and said that now that he had the recipe, he had nothing else to do.

"Xiao Qin, are you going to stay at home and chat with your wife, or are you going to come with me?"

The quartermaster looked at Qin Haonan and asked jokingly. Qin Haonan glanced at Gu Qingwu.

"Chief Steward, I will go back with you."

It's working hours now, so he should stop kissing his wife, otherwise it will have a bad impact.

The quartermaster rolled his eyes at Qin Haonan and said nothing.

"Okay, let's go."

Anyway, the couple has a good relationship. If they want to chat or kiss, they can wait until Qin Haonan comes home in the evening.

So, the two of them got up and left. After Gu Qingwu saw them off, she closed the door.

It blocked the view of the crowd who were chatting not far from their home.

Gu Qingwu simply ignored their gazes.

It’s getting late, so we should fix the greenhouse first. Otherwise, the temperature will be so low at night, what if the vegetables are frozen?
"Xiao Qin, I saw a shed in your yard. Are you growing vegetables in it?"

The quartermaster didn't look at it carefully, after all, it was inappropriate. As soon as he left the Qin family, he couldn't help it.

"That's a greenhouse that my wife is experimenting with. She said she wanted to grow some vegetables to see if they can grow in the winter. If they can, our logistics will be more secure. If not, it will just be an experiment."

Qin Haonan saw that the vegetable was growing well, but he felt that it would not survive the winter.

It wasn't that he was pouring cold water on her on purpose, it was just that the temperature outside was too low.

"If it's done, let me know and I'll send someone to learn from you."

The quartermaster's eyes suddenly lit up. Even though he was the quartermaster, he really could get bald sometimes. In winter, there were only a few vegetables: cabbage, radish, and ground vegetables, nothing else. Or in the summer, they would dry vegetables from the sun, but there were not many. The soldiers had a hard time in winter.

"Steward, I feel like this winter is tough. After all, it's minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius here."

Qin Haonan said helplessly that it should be possible if there was a firewall, but he wouldn't say without trying it.

"Too."

The quartermaster thought about it for a moment and shook his head regretfully.

"I think, Steward, if it's not too cold, around ten degrees below zero, that shed should be fine."

Qin Haonan saw that the quartermaster looked a little regretful, he thought for a moment and said.

The quartermaster nodded.

"The temperature is not high enough, can you think of another way?"

The quartermaster murmured something, and Qin Haonan said nothing. If they wanted to think of other ways, they would have to keep warm, and to keep warm they would need sunlight, which would require a huge investment, and the army probably wouldn't have that much money.

Seeing that Qin Haonan didn't say anything, the quartermaster knew what this kid meant, and he rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay, I get it. Pay attention to your greenhouse and see what the temperature is. Your greenhouse won't be able to bear it."

The quartermaster thought for a moment and said, Qin Haonan nodded.

The two separated when they arrived at the army, one went to logistics and the other went to the office building.

... "Humph, I don't know what the quartermaster went to do at the Qin family?"

When Ma Chunzhi saw the quartermaster going to Qin Haonan's house, her face looked a little ugly, but she didn't say anything. Everyone was watching here, and who knows if anyone would complain if she said anything.

Just then, seeing the quartermaster and Qin Haonan leaving together, Ma Chunzhi couldn't help it.

"What can the quartermaster do?"

Zhao Fengmei was also jealous of Gu Qingwu. She didn't dare to say that Gu Qingwu and the quartermaster had any hidden relationship. After all, Qin Haonanhai was following them. Plus, if the quartermaster knew that she had spread rumors, who knew if he would be angry? So, she didn't say anything, but she was still jealous.

"Maybe there's something good going on?"

Dong Chunhua said in a deep voice, could it be that the quartermaster knew that Gu Qingwu was good at making braised offal and asked her to work in the cafeteria?
If that's the case, then that won't work. She's been here for several years and still doesn't have a job, while Gu Qingwu just arrived and already has a job. He won't agree.

"Could it be that the quartermaster knew that woman was good at making stewed offal and wanted her to work for him?"

Dong Chunhua pretended to say this casually, and then she immediately covered her mouth, pretending that she had just said it unintentionally.

"She just arrived, why would the quartermaster assign her a job?"

Zhao Fengmei was immediately furious and she jumped up and said.

"I don't know either. I'm just guessing. It may not be true."

Dong Chunhua explained stutteringly, as if she had said something wrong.

Ma Chunzhi lowered her eyelids to hide the cold light in her eyes. She had been here for many years and had no job. If the quartermaster really came to find Gu Qingwu to work, she would definitely not agree.

Isn't it a first-come, first-served basis for work assignments? Why is it different for Gu Qingwu?

Of course, she didn't show all her thoughts in front of others. In her opinion, the quartermaster was abusing his power for personal gain.

"Things are still uncertain now, so don't talk nonsense."

Although Ma Chunzhi's mind was full of thoughts, she still tried hard to suppress them and spoke to everyone in a generous manner.

When everyone heard her words, they all had their own little thoughts.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we know."

"Sister-in-law, we won't mess around."

"Sister-in-law, we won't cause trouble for the leader."

Anyway, there were all kinds of comments, but everyone had their own little thoughts. In their opinion, if Gu Qingwu really got a job, they would have to go and have a good talk with their leader. Why had they not been given any jobs in all these years, but Gu Qingwu was given a job as soon as she arrived?

As for how the leaders above will deal with it, they are not worried, as the law does not hold everyone responsible.

Yes, everyone had this little thought at this time.

"Everyone, please stop messing around."

Ma Chunzhi spoke again and everyone nodded.

Then no one wanted to chat anymore and everyone went home.

Gu Qingwu didn't know what was going on here, and even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. She didn't go to the cafeteria to work, one reason being that it was too busy and tiring there, and the other was that she hated the people in the family compound who would make trouble for no reason. She wasn't afraid of trouble, but she hated trouble.

Ma Chunzhi stood up only after everyone had left. She took a deep look at Gu Qingwu's door, then stood up and left.

She planned to ask her husband in the evening to find out why the quartermaster wanted to see Gu Qingwu. If it was really about work, then she really couldn't let him go.

Yes, Ma Chunzhi had already made plans. Once Gu Qingwu got the job, she would organize people to report to the leadership.
