Luo Qiongzhi saw everything, sighed inwardly, and decided to help her beloved grandson. She didn't want to blame him for his pity, so she pretended to speak casually.

"You don't know, the lives of our Fang Chi's troops are much harder than here. It's dozens of degrees below zero in the northwest, and they stand guard all day without food. But there's nothing they can do, after all they are soldiers."

"ah?"

Su Nan covered her lips in surprise. Thinking of the videos she had seen online in the future of those soldiers stationed on the border patrolling in the snow, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. She took another piece of cake and handed it to Xiao Fangchi.

"Eat more. If you hadn't carried the burden forward, we wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life."

Liu Yu also nodded and praised: "Nan Nan is right, we all have to thank you, this soldier has a different temperament, full of righteousness."

"Oh, that's why I can't find a wife. I'm a grown man at the age of 22, and I've never had a girlfriend. Tell me what I should do." Luo Qiongzhi slapped his thigh, looking distressed.

Su Nan subconsciously leaned back a little, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.

"How could that be? I think Brother Xiao is a handsome man, and I thought he had been engaged for a long time, but just hasn't gotten married yet." Liu Yu looked at Xiao Fangchi, half believing and half doubting.

"How can that be possible? This guy insisted on building a career first and then starting a family. He would never go on a blind date. In my opinion, he is just too picky and doesn't like those young girls in our village who have never seen the world."

Luo Qiongzhi looked at Su Nan calmly, and seeing that she looked like an outsider and none of it concerned herself, she knew that Xiao Fangchi had no hope at all.

Liu Yu took a bite of the cake and could understand Xiao Fangchi's thoughts, so he smiled and comforted him: "Brother Xiao is so good, so of course we can't just give in.

Rather than finding someone you don’t like or can’t talk to, it’s better not to find one, so that you won’t end up quarreling every day and making the family restless. I have a relative like this, and he or she has a very unhappy life.

So, grandma, don't worry too much, fate is something you can only encounter but not seek."

"Grandma, listen to how insightful Liu Zhiqing is." Xiao Fangchi raised his head and said jokingly.

"You little brat, are you calling me old and confused in a roundabout way?" Luo Qiongzhi pretended to stand up and hit Xiao Fangchi.

The latter took advantage of the situation to stand up, raised the half piece of cake in his hand to Su Nan who hadn't spoken a word, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, it's delicious. I've rested enough, so I'll leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard and left.

Su Nan chewed the rose cake in her mouth and suddenly shouted to Xiao Fangchi's back: "Go slowly, be careful, and bring back a sister-in-law for Yun'er as soon as possible."

Xiao Fangchi paused, did not turn around, just waved his hand and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Liu Yu glanced at Su Nan and said angrily, "How can you tease others like this?"

"I'm just helping grandma." Su Nan snorted. Sister Xiaoyu was stunned and didn't expect her to figure out anything.

Just at this time, Xiao Heguo and Xiao Cuiping, who had gone to the commune to do some business early in the morning, came back.

"Uncle, aunt."

The two little girls quickly greeted them sweetly.

"Xiao Su, I went to the commune supply and marketing cooperative and the hospital to ask for you. This is the price list. I can't read, so I asked the salesperson to fill it out. She also said that the price in the commune is about the same as that in the county town, and there is no price difference."

Cuiping took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her coat pocket and handed it to Su Nan, who took it with a smile and thanked her, "Thank you so much, come and have some snacks, these are some specialties my family sent me a few days ago."

"Okay." Cuiping agreed and pulled Xiao Heguo to sit aside to have some snacks.

This was the first time she had seen such high-end dim sum.

Su Nan slowly opened the paper. On it was a list of food ingredients and medicines that Zhou Rang had sent over during this period. There were numbers after a series of names, and the salesperson had helped write the prices.

"I'll go back to my room to settle the accounts first, you guys chat." After saying that, Su Nan limped into the room with the help of a crutch.

Take out a pen from the bedside drawer, multiply all the numbers by the quantity, and then add them together.

After a while, Su Nan stood in front of the bed, holding the paper, looking at the numbers on it, and couldn't help but gasp. He covered his chest with one hand, opened his mouth blankly, and murmured in a low voice: "How can there be so many?"

Eight hundred and twenty-five?

Where did she get so much money to pay Zhou Rang back? Oh my God, could she take back those shameless words?

"I, Su Nan, am not a person who likes to take advantage of others."

"I have only used money from two men in my life."

"I will definitely pay it back."

In fact, the food is not bad, not expensive, but the main thing is the medicinal materials. Zhou Rang, that spendthrift guy, buys the best of everything.

Su Nan now regretted so much that he could not breathe whenever he thought about the fact that every bowl of medicine poured into the chamber pot was money.

"Thank you, Zhou Rang." Su Nan gritted his teeth and crumpled the paper, cursing several dirty words in his heart.

Yuan Shihui, the mayor of the city, couldn't help but sneezed.

In a state-owned restaurant in the south of Huizhou City, there were a few tables of guests sitting here and there. Two waitresses were leaning against the window chatting casually, but their eyes were always glancing at the table of people in the corner.

There were two men sitting in the corner against the wall. One of them was particularly outstanding in appearance. He was at least 1.80 meters tall, and his slightly tight black clothes showed off his muscular body.

His handsome facial features give him a cold aura that makes people stay away from him.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhou?" Zheng Guangming was sitting opposite Zhou Rang. Seeing him sneeze several times in a row, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Zhou Rang raised his head, revealing a pair of deep eyes with a faint red hue, and whispered, "It's okay."

Her voice is deep and hoarse, with a lazy ending, which sounds very seductive.

Zheng Guangming nodded and continued the previous topic: "Since the last time the channels in Shanghai were wiped out, I have not dared to open them again. It was not until I received your telegram last time that I contacted my brothers one by one."

"How much is there?" Zhou Rang raised his eyelids and rubbed the wall of the cup with his slender fingers.

"Almost one-third of the previous amount has been lost. Many people are afraid to join again. They say they just want to live a stable life with the money they earned before." Zheng Guangming glanced at Zhou Rang cautiously, and seeing that his expression was unchanged, he felt a little relieved.

The number of people was as expected.

Zhou Rang took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, but did not smoke it. He just put it in his hand and played with it, his eyes fixed on it, as if he was thinking deeply.

Zheng Guangming did not dare to interrupt him while he was thinking. He just waited beside him, drinking the cold water in his glass.

After a while, Zhou Rang's voice was heard again: "Let's go with the second plan and arrange a few smart people to hold the goods."

"Okay." Zheng Guangming responded excitedly, with joy flashing between his brows.

In addition to being happy, I couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, when will you return to Shanghai? What's so good about staying in this shabby place?"

Zheng Guangming looked around the state-owned restaurant, with disdain clearly visible on his face.

Zhou Rang closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said nonchalantly: "Did I say I wanted to go back? Besides, the higher-ups didn't notify the educated youth to return to the city, so how could I go back?"

Zheng Guangming smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Brother Zhou, you are joking. If you want to go back, it's just a matter of a word. Can your family ignore you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Guangming knew that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly covered his mouth, slapped himself a few times, and cursed: "You are so rude."

Zhou Rang suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, bent the cigarette on the table, threw it on the table, and said coldly: "There won't be a next time."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zheng Guangming nodded repeatedly. He knew that he had touched his sore spot. He didn't dare to mention it again and changed the subject.
