Lu Yu's words hit Zhang Lan's heart like a heavy hammer.
She stared blankly at the tacit understanding and affection between Lu Yu and Qin Wan that could be felt without words, and an unprecedented sense of frustration surged in her heart.
But she immediately cheered up. From the first moment she saw Lu Yu, she had decided to get Lu Yu. How could she give up so easily because of a small setback?
She didn't believe that even after all her unremitting efforts, she couldn't shake the relationship between them.
She only believed that the reason why there were unrequited feelings was because the chips were not in place. As long as the chips were in place, there would be no unbreakable fortress in this world.
Zhang Lan looked at Qin Wan, smiled, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry. She had plenty of ways to ruin this relationship, so there was no need to rush.
Qin Wan and Lu Yu both saw the unwillingness and resentment in Zhang Lan's eyes, but neither of them took it to heart. They smiled at each other, and their hearts became more closely connected.
Ever since Qin Wan joined the army, Lu Yu has been talking non-stop, which is very strange to many people.
While eating, the new recruit Zhang Erhu met a fellow villager. His fellow villager joined the army earlier than him, but the two of them lived in neighboring villages and were also relatives, so their relationship seemed close.
When he went up to greet his fellow villager, he saw Lu Yu smiling and talking to someone, and couldn't help asking:
"Dahe, what good news is King Lu having? Why is he smiling so brightly?"
Lu Yanwang is what the soldiers secretly call Lu Yu, because Lu Yu always has a serious face during training and never gives anyone a good face, just like the King of Hell, who is impartial and fair.
Li Dahe glanced at Lu Yu, who was smiling brilliantly, and curled his lips and said, "What else could it be? His wife is here. A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. I don't even have a partner. Sigh, I wonder when I can also embrace a beautiful woman?"
Zhang Erhu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Who isn't like you? I'm 20 years old, and I also want a wife and children and a warm bed."
Li Dahe was unhappy when he heard this: "I just said that. If we soldiers only think about our wives and children, how can we have the heart to defend our country?"
Zhang Erhu was also annoyed when he heard this: "Who only thinks about his wife and children? It's you who's thinking about love. I want to comfort you."
Li Dahe rolled his eyes at Zhang Erhu and said, "Who told you to be safe? Just go and get your meal." After saying that, he walked away with his head held high.
Zhang Erhu rolled his eyes at Li Dahe who was walking away: What kind of person is this guy! He is so hypocritical! Then he turned around and went to get his food. He didn't notice their conversation at all, and Lu Yu, who was talking to someone, heard it clearly.
Lu Yu was discussing a dinner with Political Commissar Zhu Zhengming when he heard someone mention him. He didn't take it seriously. Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? Who doesn't get talked about behind their backs? It's just human nature.
But there is one thing that the new recruit said was right. Now he feels very happy.
Qin Wan's joining the army was a very worthy cause for celebration, so Lu Yu planned to treat his close comrades to a meal. Qin Wan was ready to prepare well for this dinner.
In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto Qin Wan's face. She gently opened her eyes, her heart full of anticipation for the new day.
After a quick wash, she boarded the bus to the city center to buy some food at the city department store.
The city department store had quite a lot of food, not only a lot of fresh ingredients, but also a lot of fresh fruit. Although not as rich as in Qin Wan's space, in an era of material scarcity, this was already a rare find.
Qin Wan walked among the crowd with a smile on her face.
"Comrade, is this fish fresh?" Qin Wan pointed at a lively fish and asked the salesperson.
"Very fresh! Freshly caught, the meat is tender and perfect for steaming." The salesman was an enthusiastic young man. He quickly introduced the fish and tried to sell it to me. "How about one?"
"Okay! Two!" Qin Wan was indeed craving fish. He took advantage of this treat to fish out a few fish from the space and mix them in with these two fish.
"Seven and a half pounds, comrade, three dollars and fifty cents and two cents."
The young man skillfully helped Qin Wan put the fish into a plastic bag.
Qin Wan paid the bill and continued walking. Her eyes were drawn to a pile of lush green vegetables. She walked closer and found that the leaves were plump and bright in color, obviously high-quality ingredients.
"How much are these vegetables?" Qin Wan asked.
"It's not expensive. It's all grown on farmland, pollution-free, and very healthy. It was delivered early this morning, so it's very fresh!"
The vegetable salesperson was a woman in her forties. She looked at Qin Wan with a smile, as if she was looking at her own daughter.
"Then I want two kilograms of each of these."
"Okay! I'll weigh it for you right away." The saleswoman was very enthusiastic as she was lucky to meet a big-spending customer.
Qin Wan picked out some vegetables for the dishes he was good at, then walked to the meat area and picked out a piece of lean meat and a piece of pork belly.
She planned to make a braised pork dish and a shredded pork with green peppers. Both dishes were her specialties and she believed they would win the favor of her comrades.
In the seafood section, Qin Wan also specially selected some shrimps and crabs. The salesperson told her that she came by chance today, because there were not usually such good shrimps and crabs.
Qin Wan thought that the soldiers came from all over the world and had different tastes. If he made some delicious seafood, it would definitely meet everyone's needs.
In addition, Qin Wan also bought some fruits and drinks as dessert after the meal.
