When Chu Liangjun said this, Niu Weifen and Chu Haiming were both speechless.

Niu Weifen was silent for a while before sneering, "What kind of family does this girl come from, asking for a coat that costs tens of yuan right away? I think you'd better not get scammed."

Chu Haiming glanced at Niu Weifen, then said to Chu Liangjun, "What's that girl thinking? Should I find a matchmaker to go and ask her?"

Chu Liangjun immediately shook his head. He knew without asking that Qiao Lanshu would definitely not be interested in him, since he had no money.

He certainly didn't expect Qiao Lanshu to follow him willingly.

He was just thinking of pursuing her for a while, and once he got to know her better, he would find an opportunity...

Chu Liangjun said with a stern face, "Uncle, I want to talk to her myself, without needing a matchmaker."

As he spoke, he grew impatient again and asked, "Uncle, I promise I'll work hard and pay you back as soon as possible."

Fifty yuan isn't a small amount, but it's not a large amount either.

Chu Haiming wasn't reluctant to lend him money; he was worried that Chu Haiming would be scammed.

After all, these days, there are women who use blind dates as an excuse to freeload.

However, Chu Haiming still took out fifty yuan and handed it to Chu Liangjun, saying, "Get along well with the girl. If you really like her, bring her back for your uncle to see. If you need a matchmaker, you can come to me anytime and I'll arrange it for you."

Chu Liangjun paid the money and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Uncle. I'll be going now."

Niu Weifen was eager for Chu Liangjun to leave. Seeing that Chu Haiming still wanted him to stay for dinner, she immediately opened the door and said to Chu Liangjun, "It's getting late, hurry back, it'll be too late to leave any later."

Chu Haiming: "..."

Chu Liangjun glanced at Niu Weifen, feeling a strong aversion to her, but he still needed Chu Haiming's help, so he held back, put on his hat, took the money, and left.

After he left, Chu Haiming said to Niu Weifen, "Why didn't you invite Liang Jun to stay for dinner?"

Niu Weifen snorted coldly and said:

"Do you think he's borrowing money to actually pursue some girl? Maybe he's using it to gamble. Aren't there plenty of people gambling at the factory lately? I'm warning you, this is the last time you're going to lend him money. If he comes back again, don't lend him any more, or I'll make you pay!"

Chu Haiming said, "It's not that bad, it really isn't. Liangjun is a very sensible person; he's not that kind of person."

Niu Weifen sneered: "He's no good person at all, only you take him seriously."

With that, Niu Weifen went to the kitchen to cook.

Chu Haiming shook his head and continued, "You're just prejudiced against him. The young man is really a good person."

As he spoke, he muttered to himself that when he went to work tomorrow, he would have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative's vehicle team and ask the employees who worked with Chu Liangjun if anyone knew about this.

He wanted to know which girl Chu Liangjun had taken a fancy to. If it was a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative, that would be easy. He could find a matchmaker to talk to her, and maybe they could make it happen.

However, it would be difficult for a formal employee, given Chu Liangjun's poor qualifications.

He's generally not considered attractive by girls in the city.

……

On the other side, Qiao Lanshu stayed in the guard room until Chu Liangjun left before she dared to come out.

The security guard looked at her and laughed, saying, "Look at you, so bold! What are you afraid of? Don't worry, next time he comes, I'll chase him away for you."

Qiao Lanshu said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Just then, Qin Yuanzheng drove up. When Qiao Lanshu saw him, her eyes lit up. Without even saying goodbye to the gatekeeper, she immediately ran out of the guardhouse.

Before Qin Yuanzheng even got out of the car, he saw his wife run up to him, open the car door, and get in.

Seeing her hurried appearance, Qin Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Have you been waiting long? Sorry, I just went to buy you some food."

As he spoke, he took the raisins, stone cakes, and honey that had just arrived and placed them on Qiao Lanshu's lap, saying, "The raisins are said to be from Xinjiang. I ate a few, and they tasted pretty good, very sweet. You'll definitely love them."

Qiao Lanshu looked at the jar of raisins with a somewhat shocked expression: "Brother Zheng, why did you buy this? It must be expensive!"

As Qin Yuanzheng drove, he said, "It's alright, only 50 cents a pound. I'll buy it for you if you like it. Isn't the purpose of my earnings to spend them on you?"

Anyway, he doesn't have to spend any money.

He lived and ate almost entirely in the military, so he had nowhere to spend his money.

Now that he has a wife, of course he wants to give her the best of everything. After all, raising a wife doesn't cost much money.

Qiao Lanshu was touched. She pinched a few raisins and ate them. They were sweet and delicious.

After a while, Qin Yuanzheng suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard from Xiao Yang that there's a temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative who's been following you lately, is that right?"

Since he asked, Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Yes, I just saw him at the entrance of the food factory. Luckily, I hid quickly."

Qin Yuanzheng frowned and said with a stern face, "You don't need to be afraid, I've already had someone keeping an eye on him."

If he dares to do anything to Qiao Lanshu, Qin Yuanzheng will absolutely not let him off the hook.

After the car arrived at the entrance of the military compound, Qiao Lanshu, carrying the food, opened the car door and got out.

Then she saw Qin Yuanzheng holding two rolls of cloth, and she asked curiously, "Brother Zheng, why are you buying cloth again? We don't need any, do we?"

She had already made a lot of clothes, quilts, and mattresses when they first got married, so why did Qin Yuanzheng buy more fabric?

Qin Yuanzheng looked at her, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "This is made of sheepskin, a waterproof cloth."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

She didn't understand at first, but looking at Qin Yuanzheng's teasing eyes, what else didn't she understand?

She glanced at the cloth in his hand, blushed, and said, "Brother Zheng, this wouldn't be...?"

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "Yes, this is for laying on the mattress. Look, it's single-sided fleece, very warm and waterproof. Let's try it out tonight."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

His suggestion to "give it a try"... could it be...?

Qiao Lanshu blushed and fell silent.

As soon as the two returned home, Qin Yuanzheng spread a sheepskin cloth on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Although it was cut into two pieces, when laid flat, it was very smooth and tightly placed side by side, with the gap in the middle being negligible.

Qin Yuanzheng, shirtless, looked around for a while before saying to Qiao Lanshu, "Wife, come and try this on. This fabric is really good."
