Deng Weijun was actually a little embarrassed, after all, he had told Qin Yuanzheng last time that he would never hang out with Zheng Daliu and the others again.

However, he had known Zheng Daliu for several years. When Zheng Daliu invited him to play cards, he thought that playing cards would definitely not cause any problems, so he agreed.

After all, he had nothing to do anyway, and there was nothing to do back in his dorm.

Moreover, they used to play cards together quite often, usually for just one or two points, so they didn't mind losing.

Zheng Daliu brought someone with him. They walked over together, looked at Qiao Lanshu, and asked Deng Weijun, "Weijun, aren't we leaving?"

As Zheng Daliu spoke, his gaze lingered on Qiao Lanshu's face. Qiao Lanshu and Zheng Daliu were not in the same workshop, and she was a new temporary worker. Zheng Daliu had not seen her much before.

He stared at Qiao Lanshu for a few moments, his gaze making one feel uneasy.

Zheng Daliu turned to Deng Weijun and asked, "Who is she? Your girlfriend?"

Deng Weijun: "..."

Deng Weijun was terrified by his words.

He quickly said, "Da Liu, don't talk nonsense! This is my sister-in-law! Your girlfriend, your girlfriend, are you crazy about her?"

Zheng Daliu: "..."

Zheng Daliu said impatiently, "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? Damn it, are you still going today or not?"

Deng Weijun hesitated again.

Wang Xue couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and slapped Deng Weijun hard, saying to him, "Comrade Xiao Qiao has already asked, how can you not help? And you call her 'sister-in-law'? You still have the nerve to call her that?"

Deng Weijun quickly said, "I'll help, I'll help! I didn't say I wouldn't help! Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

He mainly felt that he had already agreed to Zheng Daliu's request, and if he refused now, he was afraid that Zheng Daliu would hold a grudge against him.

But being resented by Zheng Daliu is better than being resented by Qin Yuanzheng, right?

Besides, Qiao Lanshu had helped him before.

Zheng Daliu was indeed very unhappy to see him like this.

Deng Weijun said to him, "Da Liu, I won't go with you guys today. You guys go ahead. I need to help my sister-in-law carry her things. It's so cold outside, she has it so hard."

Zheng Daliu: "..."

Zheng Daliu threw away his cigarette and said with a stern face, "Fine, don't go then."

With that, he turned and left.

Qiao Lanshu finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Zheng Daliu leave. She looked at Deng Weijun and said, "Let's go then, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."

Deng Weijun immediately nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law, are you buying winter vegetables? They're almost sold out, aren't they?"

Qiao Lanshu thought for a moment and realized that she actually had quite a lot of vegetables at home for the winter. She and Qin Yuanzheng had bought them together last time. There seemed to be six or seven Chinese cabbages, and a basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes as well.

The couple only eats dinner at home, so the winter vegetables they've stored should last them a long time.

However, since she has said that, she should definitely buy some heavy things and ask Deng Weijun to help carry them. Otherwise, what if he goes out to play cards with that Zheng Daliu again?

Qiao Lanshu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, we need to buy vegetables for winter. I think we should buy about twenty catties of cabbage so I can make pickles."

Qiao Lanshu didn't know how to make pickled vegetables before, but people who work in food factories are certainly familiar with pickled vegetables.

If you really don't know how, just take a look at the pickle workshop and you'll learn.

She prepared to make the simplest pickled vegetables. She washed and dried the vegetables, then sliced ​​them and put them in a jar, layering vegetables and coarse salt, pressing them down with stones, and then adding water.

Soaking the vegetables for about a month results in a sour and crunchy texture. Stir-frying them with lard and chili makes them incredibly delicious with rice!

Upon thinking of this, Qiao Lanshu nodded and said to Deng Weijun, "The vegetables are a bit heavy, can you carry 20 jin? I'd like to buy another pickling jar."

Deng Weijun immediately patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, you underestimate me. Let alone twenty pounds, even two hundred pounds, I can carry it."

Wang Xue laughed and said, "You're just bragging. Look at your skinny frame, you don't even weigh 200 pounds, and you want to carry 200 pounds?"

Deng Weijun: "..."

Wang Xue then asked, "Xiao Qiao, you can even make pickled vegetables? You're so young, but you're quite capable."

Qiao Lanshu smiled and said, "I learned it from others; I haven't tried it myself yet."

The three of them went down together. When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Xue bought some food coupons, and then the three of them went to buy winter vegetables together.

Wang Xue bought some potatoes, and Qiao Lanshu bought 20 jin of cabbage. The cabbage was packed in a straw bag, and Deng Weijun tied the bag tightly and carried it on his shoulder.

Qiao Lanshu went and bought another pickling jar and five catties of coarse salt.

After buying these items, Qiao Lanshu prepared to return home.

Actually, Wang Xue didn't really need to buy anything. She just felt that with Deng Weijun here, she couldn't let Qiao Lanshu be alone with him. People here are so gossipy; who knows what they'd say about her tomorrow?

Wang Xue returned to the entrance of the military compound with them, and then waited for Qiao Lanshu at the entrance, since the two had made an appointment to go buy fried dough twists together.

Deng Weijun helped put the things at Qiao Lanshu's doorstep, but he didn't dare go in. He said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be going now."

Qiao Lanshu checked the time. It was still early, only a little past three in the afternoon. If Deng Weijun went to find Zheng Daliu again so early, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?

So she said, "Wait a moment, could you please bring something to my cousin-in-law for me?"

Speaking of which, when Qiao Lanshu and Qin Yuanzheng got married, their cousin Yang Wenyan gave them a sofa as a gift. The sofa was of good quality and very soft to sit on, so it must have been quite expensive.

This cousin is a pretty good person.

Qiao Lanshu returned to the house, picked up the pound of fried dough twists she had just bought yesterday, kept a bowl for herself, and divided the rest into two portions, wrapping them in newspaper.

She went to the kitchen, took a piece of cured pork and three sausages that her father had sent her, packed them together, and handed them to Deng Weijun, saying, "My family just sent me some cured pork and sausages. Could you please take these to my cousin and his wife? It's getting cold lately, so I won't be going over. Also, take this fried dough twist home and eat it yourself."

Deng Weijun doesn't cook for himself, so Qiao Lanshu didn't give him any cured meat or sausages.

The main problem is that my father didn't send much; it wasn't enough for just a few people to share.

Deng Weijun took the things and said, "Okay, that's perfect, I don't have to go to the public canteen tonight, I'll just go to my brother-in-law's for dinner."

Qiao Lanshu watched him go down the stairs, and still not entirely at ease, added, "Deliver it now, don't wander around and waste time, understand?"

Deng Weijun quickly said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Qiao Lanshu watched him jump down the stairs in a few steps and disappear in the blink of an eye, and she shook her head helplessly.

In fact, Deng Weijun is not very old, only eighteen or nineteen years old. People of this age are the easiest to deceive.

In her previous life, Qiao Lanshu had never heard of Deng Weijun. Either Deng Weijun had resigned, or something had happened to him.

Qiao Lanshu felt that Deng Weijun had a high level of identification with the food factory and didn't seem like the type of person who would resign.

So, it can only be that something happened later...
