Qian Yuelan didn't know that her mother-in-law was trying to scare her. She thought that her mother-in-law really meant it. She didn't want to leave the Qin family. Without the Qin family, what would their Qian family be? She hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, mom? No matter how good a stepmother is, she is not as good as a biological mother. Oh, I won't talk to mom anymore. I'm going to my parents' home to write an apology letter to my mom."
After saying that, Qian Yuelan walked outside.
Zhang Hongping smiled coldly. You little brat, you think you can play with her just because you have a few hairs. Zhang Hongping has no other skills, but she is very good at judging people. You can say she is a snobbish person. When Lu Haici and Qin Ming had a fight, she was a little angry that Lu Cheng and Qian Yuelan had met, so she wanted to use Yang Mailian's hand to bully Lin Qingqing.
But when she realized that Lin Qingqing was not someone who could be easily bullied, she immediately changed her target.
Later, she didn't expect that Qin Ming and Lu Haici became friends. More importantly, after becoming friends, she found that her grandson had become much more sensible. This discovery made her change her view of Lin Qingqing. As long as it was beneficial to her grandson, she would be Zhang Hongping's friend.
In fact, after learning to cook from Lin Qingqing, she found that this girl was really nice, not the kind of person who was worried, and was also generous. Otherwise, with the conflict between them, how could she teach her to cook
So after knowing that Lin Qingqing was a good person, Qian Yuelan told her about Lu Cheng's visit to the gynecologist, and she knew what Qian Yuelan and Yang Mailian were going to do, so she immediately went to find Lin Qingqing and reminded her. However, she did not expect that the ending would be like this, and Qian Yuelan and Yang Mailian had to write an apology letter.
To be honest, she really looks down on Yang Mailian, her relative. You are the wife of a battalion commander, and you are fighting with the wife of a regiment commander. What are you fighting for
I have no idea at all.
However, Zhang Hongping also likes such stupid in-laws. It would be bad if she met smart in-laws who calculated everything for their family.
The canteen of the third company's cooking class
After Lu Cheng finished his meal, he did not take Lu Haici home for a nap immediately, but went to talk to Lin Qingqing for a while. Since many people saw him and Qian Yuelan talking at the entrance of the army today, Lu Cheng wanted to report the matter first.
Lin Qingqing and Liu Honghua were talking. To be exact, Liu Honghua was asking Lin Qingqing to learn how to read. Seeing Lu Cheng coming in, Liu Honghua hurriedly said, "Comrade Lin, I'll go see how much food is left in the warehouse."
Lin nodded gently and looked at Lu Cheng: "Have you finished lunch?"
"I'm done eating." Lu Cheng said, "Qian Yuelan came to see me this morning."
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised: "She came to see you? She also came to see me at around 9:30. She said she wanted to apologize to me. Can we let the apology letter be forgotten? I didn't agree. If it was an ordinary person, I would have let it go for the sake of Qin Ming and the Qin family, but I saw that Qian Yuelan clearly had no remorse, so I didn't agree. I didn't expect that she would actually look for you." This matter... You know, before Qian Yuelan married Qin San, she wanted to date Lu Cheng. Is this... a thief's heart for death? Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing looked at Lu Cheng with a little more scrutiny.
Lu Cheng felt a little creepy when Lin Qingqing looked at him. He had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what Lin Qingqing was thinking. He just said instinctively: "Based on the time, she should have found you before looking for me, but I didn't see her." Fortunately, he didn't see her. It would have been worse if he had seen her. "But she waited for me at the entrance of the army until noon. When I came to eat at noon, I met her at the entrance of the army."
Lin raised his eyebrows gently: "Then what, she begged you?" This matter was discussed by Lu Cheng and Commander Qin, and it was also proposed by Lu Cheng. It was useless for Qian Yuelan to go to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng said: "It's not a beg, just a request to talk to me. I said that I have discussed this matter with Master Qin. If she has any questions, please go and talk to Master Qin."
"Oh..." Lin stretched out the ending tone and just looked at Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm not familiar with her. In fact, I hadn't seen her for several years before I met her in the hospital this time. The last time I met her was five or six years ago. Her mother wanted to introduce us to each other, but I refused. But I have never met her in private."
Lin Qingqing said: "Well, actually you don't need to tell me this."
Lu Cheng: "..."Wouldn't it be worse if I didn't say it? "No, I think I should make it clear. She doesn't deserve to be the cause of misunderstanding between us."
Lin Qingqing: “…” Could you please not be so direct when speaking
Lu Cheng: "Starting tomorrow, Haici will be on holiday."
Lin Qingqing: “What’s wrong?” Her thoughts were jumping so fast that she hadn’t reacted yet.
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to buy something for your family? It happens to be the weekend soon, so I can take a break. Can we go pick things together? I can carry things for you." Lu Cheng said seriously. His tone was calm, and his speech was neither fast nor slow.
Speaking of this, Lin Qingqing was somewhat tempted, but: "I haven't received my salary yet."
Lu Cheng said: "I can... lend it to you first. The army pays salaries on the 1st of every month, but the weekend is June 30th. You can return it to me when you get your salary." He used the words "borrow" and "return", which was very dutiful.
Lin gently waved his hand: "Why not go after you get your salary? I still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle the bill by then. I'll treat you to dinner after I settle the bill."
Lu Cheng curled his lips and said, "Okay." He was in a good mood. "Then let's go to the state-owned restaurant in the county town. There's also soda there. Do you like soda?"
"I like drinking soda." Lu Haici washed his dishes and went to find his mother. He happened to hear what his father said and he said immediately.
Lu Cheng: “…”
Lu Haici added: "Mom, soda is delicious. My aunt bought me soda, and my dad also bought me soda. It's delicious."
Seeing his greedy look, Lin Qingqing had no choice but to say, "Then next weekend when mom gets her salary, we will go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner and buy you some soda." Lin Qingqing had never drunk the soda of this era, but she had drunk the soda of later generations. When she was in the countryside, the village store also had soda, in bottles, and it seemed to be called champagne. In the summer, her grandmother would buy her soda every now and then, especially on hot days, the iced champagne was especially delicious, and she loved to drink it when she was young. But later, when she grew up, the times were changing, and there were more and more drinks, so there was no champagne on the table.
"Mom is so nice." Lu Haici excitedly threw himself into Lin Qingqing's arms.
Lin Qingqing took a few steps back when he pounced on her. Lu Cheng stared at her closely, afraid that she would be knocked down. Fortunately, she had stabilized before he reached out his hand.
Commander Qin said he would give Lu Cheng an answer in the evening, but the answer came in the afternoon before the evening.
After Lin Qingqing and Qi Shao and others cleaned up the canteen, they went back to the family compound. As soon as they arrived, they found that the house was very lively. Qin Ming and Lu Haici were playing, Zhang Hongping, Yang Mailian and Qian Yuelan were under the eaves... Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "There are guests, welcome." From her face, there was no sign of any conflict with Yang Mailian and Qian Yuelan.
Zhang Hongping smiled and said, "I'm not here to disturb you, I'm here too early."
Lin Qingqing: "Something happened in the cafeteria today, so I stayed a little longer." She walked into the room and saw Lu Cheng and two older men sitting inside.
"You're back." Lu Cheng stood up, "This is Division Commander Qin, this is Battalion Commander Qian."
Lin Qingqing was also guessing at first, but after hearing what Lu Cheng said, she hurriedly said, "Hello, Commander Qin, hello, Captain Qian." Although Captain Qian's military rank was lower than Lu Cheng's, he was older after all.
Teacher Qin said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, Lu Cheng said you are going to take the high school entrance exam. You are really amazing. You cook delicious food and study hard. You are a good role model for women."
Lin Qingqing said: "You're too kind. I often hear Qin Ming mention you. He said that his grandfather was a great hero, and he wants to be a great hero like his grandfather in the future. It's my honor to meet you today." As she said that, she glanced at Lu Cheng, as if to ask, how did Commander Qin know that she was going to take the high school entrance exam
When Master Qin heard what Lin Qingqing said, he couldn't stop laughing. This Lu Cheng wife was honest. If Lin Qingqing said that someone else mentioned him, he might think that Lin Qingqing was deliberately saying nice things, but since it was his grandson who mentioned him, Master Qin believed it. For Master Qin, no matter how much others praised him, it would not be as happy as his grandson praising him.
"Stop talking nonsense like a child," said Zhang Hongping. She knew that this was what her grandson would say. "Xiao Ming has been led astray by the old man. He just listens to his bragging all day long."
Commander Qin was unhappy: "What are you talking about? When did I ever brag? When I was young..."
"Come on, let's talk about business. I've heard that little thing at least twenty times." Zhang Hongping interrupted Commander Qin. Among the people present, Zhang Hongping was the only one who could interrupt him.
Commander Qin was humiliated by the old woman, but there was nothing he could do. He could only keep a straight face and say, "Wife Lu Cheng, I'm really sorry about what happened this time. I've implicated you." As he said that, he looked at Yang Mailian and Qian Yuelan.
Yang Mailian and Qian Yuelan did not dare to delay, they wanted to leave immediately, so they both took out the apology letter. Qian Yuelan said: "Comrade Lin, I'm sorry." Although she had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes.
But Lin Qingqing didn't care. They came to apologize today, and it was Master Qin who brought them here. If they said anything unpleasant again, it would be Master Qin's fault. "It's okay." She forgave them generously.
Compared to Qian Yuelan, Yang Mailian's smile was already stiff. She really couldn't smile, but there was nothing she could do. "Comrade Lin, I'm petty for everything. I apologize to you. I can't write. This is the apology letter written by our Yuelan for me. Our old Qian guaranteed me. I won't gossip about you anymore." Her face in this life was ruined by Lin Qingqing. She would just avoid Lin Qingqing when she saw him in the future.
Lin smiled gently and said, "It's okay."
As soon as the apology letter was given, Qian Yuelan immediately said, "Dad, Mom, I have something else to do in the hospital. I'll leave first."
Yang Mailian: "I still have some clothes to wash at home, so I'll leave first."
The two of them didn't care about everyone's consent and left in a hurry.
Battalion Commander Qian said, "I'm leaving too. Deputy Colonel Lu, I'm sorry for what happened this time." He sighed.
Commander Qin also said goodbye.
Lu Cheng stood up: "I'll take you there."
Everyone left one by one, except Qin Ming, who was playing with Lu Haici. Ji Yang from next door also came over, so he didn't want to leave.
Zhang Hongping said, "Then don't go outside to bask in the sun, just play inside, okay?" It was such a hot day, and she was afraid that the child would get heatstroke.
Qin Ming: "Got it."
The matter ended with the three apology letters. However, with the end of this matter, Lu Haici also ushered in his winter, because the little guy was on summer vacation, which meant that Lu Cheng had to start training him.
Lin Qingqing didn't care about this, she knew Lu Cheng knew what was going on.
"Comrade Lin, this is your salary slip. Please check if there is any problem. If there is no problem, please sign it and I will give you the salary."
At noon on July 1st, Qi Shao came to pay Lin Qingqing's salary.
Lin Qingqing checked her salary, a total of three yuan, no problem, then she signed her name: "Thank you, squad leader, thank you for taking care of me in June, we will continue to work hard together in July." Oh my God, she finally received her first salary in this world, she was so excited. With the salary, she felt a little more at ease. The days of asking men for money were really not what she wanted.
Qi Shao: "You're welcome, thank you. We'll continue to work hard in July." With the addition of Comrade Lin, the kitchen team of the third company is much happier, and everyone's enthusiasm for work is higher than before.
Qi Shao didn't know that there is a saying that working together as a man and a woman is not tiring.
Lin Qingqing received a three-yuan salary from the kitchen staff at noon, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to settle the bill in the afternoon.
"Sit still and don't put your little feet inside the bicycle, okay?" Lin Qingqing still went with one and two, and Lu Haici sat on the back of the bicycle.
"I know, I won't put my little feet in there." Lu Haici is a kid who has experience riding a bicycle.
Lu Cheng stood at the door, looking at them, feeling very envious.
Lu Haici seemed to hear his father's thoughts. He waved to his father and said, "Goodbye, Dad. We are going to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lu Cheng stared at his hands expressionlessly. This little bastard complained that today's task was not heavy enough, so he would extend his morning exercise by ten minutes next year.
Lin Qingqing felt that the little guy was courting death, so she said, "Okay, sit tight, I'm going to ride you."
Lu Haici took his hand back and held the bicycle seat with his two small hands: "Mom, I'm sitting well."
Lin Qingqing sat on the bicycle, tiptoed on the ground, turned around and said to Lu Cheng: "Lu Cheng, I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to pay the bill. Do you want to eat anything? I'll bring it to you from the supply and marketing cooperative."
Lu Cheng said: "No, just buy something you like to eat."
Lu Haici: "Mom, I want to eat milk candy, shall we buy some milk candy?"
Lin Qingqing said proudly: "Buy it." Then he pushed hard on his foot and the bicycle flew away.
Lu Cheng felt a little regretful. He should have said that he loved eating pastries.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, Director Ma was also waiting for Lin Qingqing. When Yu Xiuyao came to pick up the goods today, she brought Lin Qingqing's words that she would come to settle the June account at noon today, so Director Ma settled Lin Qingqing's account in advance.
It's really a lot of money. However, thanks to Tolin Qingqing, the supply and marketing cooperative has made a lot of money from the stewed food in the past few days, which has contributed to the finances of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Director Ma." Lin Qingqing brought Lu Haici to Director Ma's office as if they were familiar with the place. She knocked on the door.
Director Ma looked up and saw Lin Qingqing: "Come in quickly, the children are here too. Our supply and marketing cooperative has some popsicles. Do you want some?"
Lu Haici blinked his eyes and said, "It's delicious." How could a kid who has eaten popsicles resist their charm
Popsicles have been available in my country since 1950. It is now 1963, and they have been around for 13 years.
Even Lin Qingqing couldn't help but feel greedy when she heard about the popsicles: "Director Ma, can I have two?"
Director Ma laughed out loud: "Sure, this time the popsicles have ice cream in them, would you like some ice cream for the two of you?"
Lin Qingqing: "Okay, let's have some ice cream."
Director Ma personally went to get two ice creams: "Come, try it."
As soon as Lin Qingqing got the ice cream, she couldn't wait to take a bite. "It's delicious." She couldn't help but say. Oh my god, I finally ate something that was available in the future. After all, the only thing that could move her in this era was ice cream. Apart from this, what other materials in this era could interest her
"It's delicious." Lu Haici's eyes lit up. What kind of delicacy is this? He ate it for the first time, "Mom, this is different from the popsicles I ate before." He used to eat sugar popsicles, but now he eats ice cream, so it's naturally different. "This tastes better than before."
Lin Qingqing said: "From now on, you are allowed to come to eat once a week." In fact, she also wanted to come to eat once a week, so she used the little guy as an excuse.
"Really?" Lu Haici's eyes sparkled with joy. "Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome, but you can only eat it once a week, not more than that." Lin gently reminded that eating too many popsicles is not good for you.
Lu Haici is quite self-disciplined. He is satisfied as long as he can eat once a week: "Well, I listen to my mother."
Lin gently rubbed his little face: "Then go to the side and eat slowly. Mommy has to do some serious work with Director Ma."
"Hey." Lu Haici obediently sat aside and acted like a quiet kid eating popsicles.
A popsicle was not big, so Lin Qingqing quickly finished it and then talked to Director Ma about business.
"Comrade Lin, this is the account book for the past eight days. Please take a look." Director Ma pushed the account book to Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing took over the account book, and then took out another one. This was the account that Yu Xiuyao reported to her every day. She checked the total weight and found it was correct. It was a total of 1,680 kilograms in eight days. Based on the profit of 0.065 per kilogram, the total was 109.2 yuan.
In fact, Lin Qingqing herself did not expect to earn so much in eight days. By this calculation, she can still earn about 75 yuan, so in a month, it must be more than 200 yuan, right
Lin Qingqing experienced the joy of making money.
After checking the account book, Lin signed it gently and Director Ma paid the money. After that, Director Ma asked, "Comrade Lin, we currently produce about 200 kilograms of braised food every day, and the ingredients are collected from different places. If the amount of braised food increases, can you handle it?"
Lin Qingqing said, "I'm too busy, and I don't agree to add any more. If there are too many things, they will lose their value."
Director Ma thought about it and it made sense: "Then have you ever thought about selling the recipe to our supply and marketing cooperative? That way you could have a lot less worries." Director Ma had mentioned this matter when they first started working together, but Lin Qingqing did not agree. Now he brought it up again, which shows that the supply and marketing cooperative is very interested in the recipe.
Lin Qingqing still firmly refused: "I haven't thought about it yet, but if I think about it in the future, I will definitely consider the supply and marketing cooperative first."
Director Ma was just trying it out, knowing that it would not be easy to succeed. "Then I hope we can continue to cooperate happily."
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
After Lin Qingqing collected the money and talked to Director Ma, Lu Haici finished eating the ice cream. Although the little boy had his mouth full of ice cream, he was very clean and wiped it clean with a handkerchief after eating. However, when Lin Qingqing approached him, she could still smell the milky fragrance.
Smelling the milky scent on Lu Haici's body, Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered something: "Director Ma, does the supply and marketing cooperative sell milk powder?"
Under normal circumstances, milk powder is in short supply, but it is not impossible to keep one or two cans. When Lin Qingqing asked this, Director Ma knew what she meant: "If you have milk powder tickets, I can leave two cans for you next time you come to get milk powder. If you don't have milk powder tickets, I can only leave them for you if there are defective products next time. If there are no defective products, it's unlikely."
Lin Qingqing didn't have a milk powder ticket. She hadn't seen a milk powder ticket when she was packing Lu Cheng's tin box before, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until now to remember it. "I don't have a milk powder ticket, but I have other tickets I can exchange. Do you know anyone here who can exchange milk powder tickets?"
Director Ma said, "Then I'll ask you later."
Lin Qingqing said gratefully: "Thank you so much."
"Comrade Lin is too polite." Director Ma was polite to Lin Qingqing, firstly because of their cooperation. Secondly, it was good to sell Lin Qingqing. After all, Lin Qingqing herself had brains and abilities, and her husband was the deputy head of the group, which meant that he also had power and connections. Even if Director Ma did not need to marry a comrade like this at the moment, it was better to marry him than not. "Comrade Lin, although we don't have milk powder at the moment, we have other defective products. Do you want to take a look?" Today was the first of the month. The supply and marketing cooperative would have goods arriving at the end of every month. After the salesperson sorted the goods, they would be put on sale at the beginning of the month.
Lin Qingqing said: "Okay, what defective products are there?"
Director Ma said: "There are fabrics, enamel cups..."
There was something wrong with the dyeing of the fabric, there was a spot on the enamel cup that was missing the white enamel, and there were other things. Lin Qingqing saw that there was nothing she needed, so she bought some defective fabrics, since they would be used anyway.
Then he and Xiaozai went to the counter to buy cakes, candies, biscuits, straw paper, soap and other things. After buying them, the two bought three ice creams and went home satisfied.
