But seeing that Zhang Lemin was still waiting for her answer, she pretended to be hesitant and said, "Comrade Chen, as far as I know, Zhang, the educated youth, already has a boyfriend."
Chen Lemin panicked and asked anxiously, "...You have a boyfriend? I haven't heard anything about that. Is it a male comrade from your educated youth settlement?"
He Wan shook her head: "It's not from here...it seems to be...from a nearby farm."
"From the farm?"
Chen Lemin's expression instantly changed from shy to something else.
Li Weidong patted Chen Lemin on the shoulder with a smug look: "Brother, this is normal. Those female educated youths have high standards. Why would they want to be interested in us peasants? Do you want to join our ranks?"
"We may not be very capable, but we're thick-skinned! Anyway, we haven't had the banquet yet, so there's still time. How about we have the village lads compete with those male educated youth?"
Chen Lemin said, "They already have partners, isn't that inappropriate?"
"So what if you have a girlfriend? A wife is only truly yours once she's married and brought home."
He Wan listened to Li Weidong's words while standing among them, silently worrying for Chen Qing.
However, she had to go back and give Zhang Cuicao a good reminder: Zhang Lemin was definitely not someone she could marry.
After arriving in the county town, He Wan assigned them to different areas, while she went alone to a farmers' market she had previously chosen.
He took out two packets of brown sugar. These days, bringing out some good stuff makes things much more efficient.
The purchasing director then took a look at the tofu and mentioned the two markets that supplied it.
That's how you make three large slabs of tofu a day.
Having completed her task, the rest was up to her.
She came to the county this time to buy wine for Lao Yun.
She figured that Lao Yun would definitely be getting married in the next couple of years, so she thought she'd give Lao Yun face and get some wine for her as part of her dowry.
You can keep it even if you don't drink it now.
"Comrade, how many bottles of Moutai do you have here?"
The sales clerk, seeing that she was so young and didn't seem like someone who wanted to buy alcohol, casually remarked, "You have several cases, aren't you? You're quite the talker. Do you think you can buy them all?"
"How many boxes? I'll take them all."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the sales clerks selling wine, but also the eyes of the other counters in the store all turned to this side.
The sales clerk stood up and scrutinized her again, still speaking in a rather unfriendly tone: "There are dozens of bottles, do you want them all?"
"Yes, I want them all. How much is one bottle?"
"Four yuan and seven cents, I need a liquor coupon, do you have one?"
He Wan smiled and said, "Yes, yes." As she spoke, she took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket and handed it to the not-so-good-tempered saleswoman. Sure enough, after receiving the candy, her tone immediately changed: "Can you, a young comrade, make such a decision? Do your parents know?"
"Sis, I'm an adult now. I like to drink this all the time, and I save all the pocket money my family gives me."
"You're so young and you're already drinking? Fine, I'll go check how many bottles are left in the warehouse." As long as the alcohol sells, it doesn't matter whether she drinks it or someone else does.
"Okay."
He Wan had thought it over. Although this wine hadn't undergone any aging or sedimentation from her place to Lao Yun's, it was still a genuine famous wine.
Besides, I can store it myself, but of course I can't put it in a space, because that's where it's kept fresh.
A moment later, the sales clerk returned with a smile and said, "There are two complete cases in the warehouse, twelve bottles in each case."
“Okay.” He Wan said, taking out a stack of wine tickets from her pocket, counting out twenty-four for her, and then counting out one hundred and sixty-eight yuan and ninety-six cents for her.
Regardless of her attitude just now, seeing how much wine the young man bought today, even He Wan could soothe her usually bad temper.
