Qiao Lanshu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the grain coupons and money she got from Sun Mingyong to buy two packs of noodles and two cans of meat.
She bought another half pound of biscuits to take back as a late-night snack, since she was always hungry here and never got enough to eat.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are scarce, and they are hard to find in the northern winter.
She had heard that the military used greenhouses to grow vegetables, but those were specifically for the military.
It's very difficult for ordinary people to buy it.
Qiao Lanshu thought that she and Qin Yuanzheng were not destined to be together, but Qin Yuanzheng had saved her and helped her a lot. So she asked Xiao Yang, "Company Commander Yang, I want to buy something for Regiment Commander Qin to thank him for his help. What do you think I should buy?"
Company Commander Yang thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the regimental commander likes. Comrade Xiao Qiao, you don't need to buy anything. The regimental commander won't accept it. There are rules in our unit that prohibit accepting gifts."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Lanshu thought for a moment and said, "Then may I send a thank-you letter to your unit?"
Company Commander Yang nodded: "That's good, the regimental commander will be very happy."
Qiao Lanshu acted immediately, and as soon as he returned to the guesthouse, he began writing a thank-you letter.
……
Qin Yuanzheng made a special trip to the food factory this noon to meet with his cousin, Yang Wenyan.
Yang Wenyan thought he had come because of Sun Mingyong's matter. He kept saying, "Yuanzheng, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know that scoundrel Sun Mingyong dared to impersonate a military officer and cheat people here. If I had known, I would never have let him into the factory."
These days, all new employees have to undergo a family background check.
Sun Ming had money and grain coupons sent from the shopping mall in Guangzhou, as well as a letter of introduction from the street office obtained by Qiao's father, so his identity was not in question.
With Wei Zhengye's guarantee, he was able to get into the factory smoothly.
Guangzhou is too far away, and no one thought to verify it.
Qin Yuanzheng sat in Yang Wenyan's office. He was tall and strong, with a rugged appearance, and was wearing a crisp military uniform. All the female employees in the factory were secretly looking at him.
When Yang Wenyan saw his tall and handsome cousin, he shook his head with regret.
What a pity, what a real pity.
How can someone with such a strong body be infertile? That doesn't make sense.
After Qin Yuanzheng sat down, he said, "Cousin, I came here today to talk to you about my relationship with Comrade Wang Huiping."
Yang Wenyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How was it? How did things go with this one? Are you planning to marry her?"
Qin Yuanzheng was silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Cousin, she and I aren't a good match, so I've decided to call it quits. You were the matchmaker, so I came here today specifically to tell you. Also, you don't need to introduce me to anyone else anymore; I really don't want to get married."
Yang Wenyan: "..."
Yang Wenyan frowned and said to him, "Yuanzheng, that Wang Huiping has a job, a son, and a gentle personality. What are you still being picky about? What kind of woman do you like? Tell me, and I'll have someone introduce you to someone."
The image of Qiao Lanshu instantly appeared in Qin Yuanzheng's mind.
However, he immediately stopped himself from thinking about it and said, "No need, what I like, isn't here."
Yang Wenyan was speechless: "With so many factories and so many outstanding women, how could there be none?"
Qin Yuanzheng is a man of his word. Once he has made a decision, he will not hesitate any longer. He stood up and said, "Cousin, really, it's not necessary. I'm very busy at the mine, so I'll be leaving now."
With that, he turned and left the office.
Yang Wenyan sighed.
Previously, Qin Yuanzheng's parents wrote to him, asking him to take good care of his cousin and also asking him to find a female employee in the factory to introduce to Qin Yuanzheng.
He agreed quite readily at the time.
Several years have passed, and Qin Yuanzheng is still single.
After returning home, Yang Wenyan told his wife, Deng Xiaozhen, about the incident.
Deng Xiaozhen worked at a textile factory and was a colleague of Wang Huiping. She was busy in the kitchen when she heard Yang Wenyan say this, and she was quite surprised: "What? Such a good female colleague, Yuanzheng didn't take a liking to her again?"
Yang Wenyan took off his coat and hung it on the hook by the door, saying, "He has already decided not to get married. What's the point of saying anything? There aren't any girls he likes here."
Holding a spatula, Deng Xiaozhen was speechless upon hearing this: "If there aren't any female factory workers here that he can fancy, then there probably isn't anyone in the whole country that he can fancy. Could it be that he wants to marry a fairy?"
Deng Xiaozhen muttered to herself, "I never realized Qin Yuanzheng had such high standards."
Yang Wenyan has been completely exhausted lately because of things at the factory.
He said, "Forget it. Since he doesn't want to get married, I won't interfere anymore. Go and talk to Wang Huiping and tell her not to come anymore. She's a good catch, so let her find someone else."
While cooking, Deng Xiaozhen said:
"Her conditions are not bad, but she is divorced and has a son. What man would want to marry a woman with a son? If it were a girl, it would be easier to talk to her... Sigh, I think Huiping really likes Yuanzheng. Maybe she should try to win him over."
Yang Wenyan snorted and said, "A regimental-level cadre, first marriage, and tall and handsome, who wouldn't like him? If it weren't for his infertility, Wang Huiping wouldn't have gotten a chance."
As Deng Xiaozhen cooked, she shook her head, still thinking that this couple could get together.
The next morning, when Deng Xiaozhen arrived at the textile factory, she told Wang Huiping about it.
The smile on Wang Huiping's face vanished instantly.
She paused for a moment before saying, "Last time I brought him some stewed pig's trotters, and he even personally drove me and Xiaoyuan home. When we parted, he said he would come to see me next time, and I thought..."
Deng Xiaozhen patted her arm and said, "Forced relationships are never sweet, and besides, you can't force this one. Let's wait and see. With your qualities, are you worried about not finding a man?"
That's what they said, but they all knew that Wang Huiping could never find a man as outstanding as Qin Yuanzheng again.
Therefore, after returning home, Wang Huiping felt increasingly resentful.
So she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some canned goods and liquor. After she went to work, she found Deng Xiaozhen and said that she wanted to have a meal with Qin Yuanzheng again and ask him in person if there was still a chance.
Deng Xiaozhen was somewhat hesitant, but she still agreed and went back to have Yang Wenyan find Qin Yuanzheng.
By the afternoon of the third day, it had started snowing. Qin Yuanzheng didn't drive; instead, he rode his bicycle to the entrance of Yang Wenyan's residential area.
By this time, the snow had fallen heavily, forming a thick layer on the ground.
He was still thinking to himself, "I wonder if Comrade Xiao Qiao is cold in the guesthouse. She's from the south and has never seen snow before. I guess she'll be very happy."
Yang Wenyan, Deng Xiaozhen, and Wang Huiping were all inside.
It was similar to the first time we met, except that Xiao Yuan wasn't there this time.
Qin Yuanzheng was a little puzzled. Why didn't Xiao Yuan come this time?
But he didn't ask, and there was no need to ask.
Wang Huiping walked over and said with a smile, "Commander Qin, you're here! Everyone's been waiting for you."
As she spoke, she reached out to take the coat that Qin Yuanzheng had taken off.
However, Qin Yuanzheng avoided her hand and reached out to hang the clothes on the wall himself.
Seeing Qin Yuanzheng like this, what else could Wang Huiping not understand?
Is Qin Yuanzheng really not planning to spend any more time with her?
The first two meetings went quite well.
Looking at Qin Yuanzheng's tall and broad back, Wang Huiping pursed her lips and took out the wine glass that she had prepared earlier.
Deng Xiaozhen had already set out the food, and Wang Huiping took a wine glass and wine over, smiling as she said, "It's snowing heavily today, let's have a drink together to warm ourselves up."
