At this moment, Zhou Weiguo was happily strolling through a department store with Tian Zao, Lou Xiao'e, and Bai Yuechang, holding their children.

Bai Yuechang exclaimed in amazement when she saw the receipts being passed back and forth on the rope in the air. The group immediately started a "buy, buy, buy" spree, buying everything that caught their eye, regardless of whether they needed it or not. In the end, they not only filled the trunk of their own car, but also the trunk of the guards' military vehicle, before finally stopping.

This stroll took up most of the day, and it wasn't until lunchtime that the group went to Quanjude for Peking duck, which finally satisfied them completely.

Perhaps Lou Xiao'e hadn't tasted this for a long time, or perhaps Bai Yuechang's appetite had increased, but the four of them ate four roast ducks before they were finally full.

Just as Zhou Weiguo stepped out of Quanjude, he glanced at the street and suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Chen Xueru Silk Shop"?

He immediately became interested. It wasn't that he had any "affection for Cao Mengde" (Cao Cao), but he was simply curious about what kind of situation Chen Xueru was in during this period.

He turned to the three women and smiled, "Come on, let me make you two sets of clothes that fit. Your outfits are really too conspicuous here."

Upon hearing that they were going to get new clothes, the three women's eyes lit up instantly. What woman doesn't love to look beautiful? They excitedly followed Zhou Weiguo to the silk shop.

Zhou Weiguo led the way and pushed open the door. As soon as he entered, he saw a woman sitting behind the counter wearing a blue cheongsam with black patterns. She had a gentle and capable demeanor.

Upon seeing the group enter, the woman immediately stood up to greet them with a warm smile: "Oh my, these gentlemen are quite handsome! Please come in. Are you looking at fabrics or would you like to have clothes made to your measurements?" Without a doubt, this was Chen Xueru, the owner of the silk shop.

Zhou Weiguo smiled and pointed to Tian Zao and the other two women: "Comrade, could you please take their measurements and make several outfits for each of them? You can just ask them for the specific styles and requirements."

"Okay, no problem!" Chen Xueru readily agreed and turned to get the measuring tape.

Zhou Weiguo walked to the stool next to him, lit a cigarette, and quietly focused his mind on his personal space. He needed to see what equipment Nannan had recently created.

What he saw really startled him.

On the open ground in front of the Air Force Command Center, 10 J-10 upgraded fighter jets, 10 Harrier fighter jets, and 10 Hind helicopters were parked neatly.

Next to the armored vehicle factory, 20 Type 80 main battle tanks are lined up in a row, creating an impressive sight; even more striking is the sight of 6 improved Type 092 strategic nuclear submarines moored side by side on the water in front of the shipyard.

The barracks were even more crowded, with a dense crowd of soldiers undergoing intense training. Judging by the scale of the operation, there were at least two thousand people.

"This girl's efficiency is amazing."

Zhou Weiguo hurriedly checked the energy points and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were still more than 180,000 left. He was really afraid that this little girl would squander all the energy points.

But then I thought, wouldn't it be a waste to leave so much good equipment unused? I'll have to find an opportunity for Shore and the others to "get things used" so that these guys can be put to good use.

Just as he was pondering this, Tian Zao, holding the child, walked up to him with a smile: "For the country, how about I make you some clothes too?"

Bai Yuechang, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "Yes, darling, come and take your measurements, we'll make a few outfits to wear in rotation. The clothes this lady makes are so beautiful, especially the cheongsams, they're so elegant!"

The moment those words were spoken, the air fell silent.

Even Chen Xueru, who was used to seeing such things, covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo gave Bai Yuechang a helpless look, and Bai Yuechang stuck out her tongue in fright and quickly ran to the side to play with the child.

Chen Xueru walked up to Zhou Weiguo with a measuring tape in her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity: "Comrade, what style of clothes would you like to have made?"

Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any special requirements, so let's just make a Zhongshan suit. It's convenient for everyday wear."

Chen Xueru nodded in agreement and took the measuring tape to measure his chest.

When she touched Zhou Weiguo's broad and sturdy chest, she subconsciously looked up, but Zhou Weiguo was still pondering the equipment in his space and didn't notice her little movement at all.

His breath brushed against Chen Xueru's cheek, making her panic instantly, and she almost dropped the ruler from her hand.

"Comrades, are they your relatives?" Chen Xueru asked, trying to appear calm.

Zhou Weiguo then lowered his head, followed her gaze to the three women playing with the child, and nodded gently: "I suppose so."

"Where do you work?" Chen Xueru asked again, her hands still moving.

Zhou Weiguo had nothing to hide: "I am an engineer at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up: "So you're an engineer! That's amazing! Are you in charge of manufacturing rolling mills?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head.

To be fair, Chen Xueru does have some charm, but compared to Tian Zao and the others, she doesn't have any particular appeal, so he didn't have any extra thoughts about her.

After Chen Xueru finished taking the measurements, the women also picked out their favorite fabrics. When they heard "a total of 105 yuan, plus 192 feet of fabric coupons," Zhou Weiguo slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten about the money and coupons.

Chen Xueru seemed to have anticipated his reaction and smiled as she smoothed things over: "It's alright, comrade. If you don't have enough money or tickets, just pay a deposit first, and you can make up the difference when you pick up the clothes later."

Zhou Weiguo was taken aback. How could such thoughtful service still exist in this day and age?

"No need, no need, let me look for it."

As he spoke, he reached into his pockets. By the time he had emptied all six pockets, a small pile of bills had accumulated on the table.

Most of these banknotes were given to him by Old Li and Old Qin. He didn't usually use them, so he just left them in his spatial storage without ever organizing them.

Bai Yuechang leaned closer, looking at the receipts on the table with a curious expression: "Darling, do we need special receipts to buy clothes?"

Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and lightly tapped her on the forehead.

"Ouch!"

Chen Xueru, who was standing to the side, was already dumbfounded. Her eyes were filled with the pile of receipts. She had just seen that there were at least five or six bicycle tickets alone!

Zhou Weiguo lost patience after flipping through the money a couple of times, but Bai Yuechang was engrossed in reading it, so he handed over the task of finding change to her.

Just then, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Xueru, are my clothes finished?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhou Weiguo subconsciously looked up and froze on the spot, his eyes wide open.

Not only him, but Tian Zao next to him was also shocked, her mouth agape and her grip on the child tightened. How could this face be here?

The newcomer merely glanced at everyone with curiosity, then took the finished clothes from Chen Xueru without lingering, turned around, and hurriedly ran out.

After a long pause, Tian Zao looked at Zhou Weiguo with an incredulous expression: "Honey, are we sure we're not mistaken? It really is her?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head, his tone certain: "How could I be wrong about this appearance?"
