It's not far from the animal husbandry institute to the family compound; it only takes about fifteen minutes.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Guan Wenru did not go straight home, but instead took a thermos to Zeng Chunlan's house.
When Zeng Chunlan saw her, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Guan, it's so late, is something wrong? Is it because your neighbors are making a scene again? I'll go and talk to them. Making a scene so late at night is disturbing the neighbors' rest. It's really outrageous!"
"No, no, they didn't cause any trouble." Guan Wenru smiled and held up the thermos in her hand. "Sister-in-law, I've brought you some goat milk."
Zeng Chunlan's eyes lit up. "Oh, where did you get this goat milk? Come on in, it's cold outside."
Guan Wenru explained to her as she walked inside.
Upon learning that Guan Wenru could now freely dispose of the cow and sheep milk in the logistics shed, Zeng Chunlan was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! The fact that you can handle it shows that the organization is very satisfied with your work. However, you should take this sheep milk home and drink it yourself; don't share it with us."
Guan Wenru still insisted on putting the thermos into her hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, pour some out for Mancang and Youfu first."
Mancang and Youfu are Zeng Chunlan's two sons, one fourteen years old and the other ten years old.
Zeng Chunlan didn't want to take advantage of Guan Wenru, so she pushed it back to her.
Guan Wenru was determined to share some with her child, and she couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she finally poured out two bowls.
After pouring it out, she wanted to return the thermos to Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru refused to accept the money, saying, "Sister-in-law, the reason I came here today is to ask you for a favor."
"Tell me, what kind of help is it? I'll definitely help if I can."
“There are quite a few children under two years old in our three courtyards. I would like to ask you to distribute this goat milk to the children. Drinking more milk is good for their health.”
Zeng Chunlan was surprised by her decision, "You gave it all to the children? Why didn't you keep any for yourself?"
“I won’t keep it; those young children need this goat milk more.”
Zeng Chunlan was deeply moved and patted Guan Wenru's hand. "No wonder my husband always asks us to take care of you and your grandson. Your Guan family are truly generous and kind-hearted people."
After saying that, she put the thermos back. "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. There are indeed a lot of children in our courtyards, and... our place is remote, so many things can't be transported in. It's inconvenient for us to buy anything, and there aren't many things for adults or children to eat."
To be honest, the military dependents in our compound occasionally go to the nearby production brigades to trade some cow's milk and goat's milk with the herders. But the herders don't have that stuff every day. Now that you have this goat's milk and are willing to share it with them, they'll definitely thank you."
Guan Wenru laughed, "These are all collective assets. If anyone should thank someone, it should be our logistics department head. Sister-in-law, I won't talk to you anymore. Please distribute these goat milks. I'm going home now. I'm afraid Grandma is still waiting for me."
"Alright, alright, then you should go back and rest. Xiao Guan, thank you so much for thinking of everyone."
Guan Wenru didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to Zeng Chunlan and her two boys, she immediately went home.
...
Zeng Chunlan took the thermos to other military dependents' homes and distributed the goat milk to them.
When they parted ways, she said many good things about Guan Wenru.
Having received the benefits, everyone's opinion of Guan Wenru changed 180 degrees, and they started discussing it animatedly.
"Xiao Guan is really kind. None of us could do that. It's such good goat milk, and she gave it all to the children without batting an eye, keeping none for herself. She's so generous."
"Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely keep some for myself. You guys think there's such a big difference between people who are both daughters of capitalists?"
"Yes, Xiao Guan is such a good person. Look at Zhao Mei, she looks down on us at every turn, and even says this place is no place for humans to live! I think she's the real capitalist who exploits the people!"
Zeng Chunlan listened to their words and smiled, "Just remember Xiao Guan's kindness from now on. When the weather gets warmer, when she's clearing land, everyone can go and help her out if they have time."
Upon hearing this, the military dependents immediately replied, "That's a must."
When Zeng Chunlan was distributing milk to everyone, Liu Guiying, having somehow gotten wind of it, rushed over with a bowl in hand.
Even though she had no children, she still asked Zeng Chunlan to pour her a bowl of soup.
Zeng Chunlan laughed and scolded, "You, you, would you die if you didn't take advantage of a good deal?"
Liu Guiying didn't care. She took a sip and her eyes lit up. "Oh, did you add sugar to this? The goat milk we traded with the herders can't taste like this. Besides, the goat milk we make ourselves tastes too goaty. This goat milk is really delicious today. It doesn't make you feel nauseous when you drink it."
Zeng Chunlan quickly screwed the lid on the thermos. "Of course, if Xiao Guan wasn't capable, would the head of the logistics department have let her handle this?"
Liu Guiying raised an eyebrow. "These capitalist ladies really know how to enjoy life."
Zeng Chunlan patted her arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. What capitalists? Xiao Guan is such a good person. You're drinking the goat milk they gave you, and you're saying such unpleasant things. I won't give you any next time."
Liu Guiying scoffed, "All you do is flatter."
Seeing her like this, Zeng Chunlan was furious.
Thinking to herself, next time... no matter how much Liu Guiying pesters her, she won't give her a single drop!
Guan Wenru was unaware of what had happened when Zeng Chunlan was separating the milk. After returning home, she spoke a few more words with Guan Wanxin, then the two went to wash up and went to sleep.
The next morning, she got up as usual, ate breakfast, and ran into Han Haoxian as soon as she went out.
