50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 235 Bear Bone Wine
Sun Zhiwei pushed the door open with a grin and said, "Oh, you've been busy, haven't you?"

Without any ceremony, he picked up the thermos, cup, and tea leaves while talking, made himself a cup of hot tea, and then found a seat to sit down.

"Hmph, who's the reason I'm so busy? It's all your fault."

He couldn't respond to that. He hadn't wanted it to happen either; he could only blame Director Yu. But he didn't dare say it aloud and could only swallow his anger.

"It's all my fault. Look, I've come to apologize to you. Look, I've brought you some nice things."

As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from behind his back, which was covered with foreign words.

Principal Wang took it in her hand with a puzzled look, examining it from left to right, but couldn't understand what was written there.

"What the heck is this?"

"This is great stuff! I brought it back from my business trip. It's called White Tiger Balm. It's especially effective for joint pain and rheumatism, and it also refreshes the mind."

Besides rice, this is the only other thing that's somewhat unique about Annam. But even the recipe for it came from Guangzhou.

When Sun Zhiwei was browsing the Annan General Logistics Warehouse, he discovered a large quantity of Baihu Huoluo Ointment.

This was issued to the soldiers; it could repel mosquitoes and resist dampness, and was considered a panacea in the local area.

This medication is quite effective for rheumatism in the elderly, and most importantly, it relieves pain with few side effects. It's from abroad and not expensive, making it a very thoughtful gift.

He figured his family was getting older and these things looked useful, so he just picked some up. He brought them over to give to Director Wang.

"Is it true? Don't try to fool this old man."

"Don't worry, it's guaranteed to work. Otherwise, let's try it now."

Sun Zhiwei was about to make a move when Director Wang slapped his hand away.

"Get lost, I'll go back and try it myself."

Director Wang put the things away in the drawer, and her expression softened: "Tell me, what do you want to do today?"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, I came here specifically to see you today."

"If you keep spouting nonsense, get out of here."

"Oh, I'm going on a business trip again tomorrow, to Qingdao. Jiajia's parents are there, so I'll ask if there's anything I can bring with me."

"I mean it, I really came here today specifically to see you, calling you Jiajia was just a side thing."

"If you can believe what you say, then pigs can fly."

"Alright, you've seen it all, and I've taken the things. Go find your Jiajia now, and stop dawdling with me."

"Also, I can't live without Jiajia now. If you want to go to Qingdao, go by yourself. Don't try to kidnap her."

"Yes, sir." Sun Zhiwei readily complied, saluted Director Wang, and left immediately.

When he ran to the teaching building, get out of class had just ended, and he saw Tong Jiajia coming out of a classroom.

Tong Jiajia is now not only the head of the logistics department, but also the director of the office, and she also teaches a class every few days.

According to her, teaching is her profession, and all other work is part-time. This simple approach has surprisingly won her a lot of goodwill.

The position of kindergarten director, which was once out of reach, now seems much closer to her after a year.

It seems that everyone has potential; it's just that Tong Jiajia was too well protected by Sun Zhiwei before, and she never had the chance to unleash it.

In the last two years, with Sun Zhiwei frequently away from home, either studying abroad or on business trips, Tong Jiajia has grown up quickly and is now showing signs of becoming a strong woman. That's why our leaders always say, "Women hold up half the sky."

As Tong Jiajia came out of the classroom, she saw Sun Zhiwei waving at her from the playground, and she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing her expression, her colleagues also noticed Sun Zhiwei on the playground and teased her, saying, "Oh, your boss is here to pick you up."

Tong Jiajia has been very popular these past two years. She doesn't get angry when her colleagues tease her; instead, she rushes over and playfully fights with them before going downstairs together.

"Principal, you're back from your business trip? Are you here to visit us?"

As his comrades passed by Sun Zhiwei, they all teased him.

Sun Zhiwei is now very thick-skinned and doesn't care about these jokes at all. After chatting and laughing with them for a while, he picked up Tong Jiajia, and the two of them rode their bikes out of the school gate together.

On the way, Tong Jiajia heard that he was going to Qingdao and got excited. She rode her bike wobbling as she mentally planned what to bring with her.

In fact, they send New Year's goods to Qingdao every year, but this is the first time Sun Zhiwei has gone to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Since the family has plenty of things, they should naturally bring back more good things to make Sun Zhiwei proud.

When I got home, it wasn't time for dinner yet.

The godmother was going to cook for the two children. When she saw them come back to eat, it was just a matter of adding a bowl of rice and frying an egg. Tong Jiajia didn't need to help at all, so she started rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for things.

Sun Zhiwei couldn't help either, so he started thinking about what else he could take out from his own space.

It turned out that only cigarettes, alcohol, and fabrics were allowed. Oh, and Tiger Balm too.

Thinking that my godmother and godfather could also use it, I took out a box from my space and put it at home, and told my godparents to remember to use it.

Seeing Tong Jiajia busy running around, he couldn't help but want to join in the fun.

"Jiajia, what do you think I should give my father-in-law?"

Tong Jiajia was taken aback by his question: "Wasn't I preparing?"

"No, I meant what I should personally send as a gift."

"What, you still want to curry favor with your father-in-law? Isn't it a bit too late, Comrade Sun Zhiwei?"

"What are you talking about, flattering me? I need to ask Dad for help with something this time, so I have to show some respect to my father-in-law."

"Hehe, then you decide for yourself. I remember I did mention what my dad likes, so let's see if you have a good memory."

After finishing her sentence, Tong Jiajia turned around and went back to her room to pack her things without looking back.

"You said that?" Sun Zhiwei began to search through his past memories, and he actually remembered that when they first got married, Tong Jiajia had said that her father-in-law loved to smoke, drink, and eat meat.

That's easy to handle. There's plenty of good wine and cigarettes in the space. But cigarettes aren't good for your health, so it would be a waste to give them to your mother-in-law and leave a bad impression.

Moreover, his father-in-law was of a much higher rank than him and was given specially supplied high-quality cigarettes, so he couldn't give cigarettes as gifts; he could only give alcohol.

He thought that even a commander wouldn't lack ordinary liquor, so it seemed he needed to infuse it with something else.

He doesn't have tiger bones, but he once hunted a bear, and he still has the entire set of bear bones in his space. It would be best to take out the kneecap and soak it in wine.

However, simply soaking bones is not enough to fully realize their effects; a combination of ingredients is still necessary.

So he immediately rode his bicycle to Tongrentang and asked the master craftsman there to prepare a set of ingredients for the medicinal wine.
