The others didn't say anything either. Li Tieniu had done something wrong today, but they didn't blame him too much because, although they hadn't done it, it didn't mean they didn't have such thoughts in their hearts.
They simply adhered strictly to the rules and did not extend their claws.
Chang Yin also had doubts, but he certainly wouldn't ask them himself.
Li Tieniu finally couldn't hold back any longer. Just as he was about to enter the supply and marketing cooperative, he looked at Tang Yue and asked, "Um, Company Commander, why, why can these people see us?"
Seeing Li Tieniu's serious question, and the same look in the eyes of the others, Tang Yue was speechless. She hadn't expected these people to be so curious. She knew Li Tieniu definitely wasn't trying to steal the buns, even though they smelled delicious; they would never break the rules.
Li Tieniu probably thought that no one could see him, so he picked it up to test it and then put it down. But this action almost caused a big disaster.
Everyone trusts Tang Yue now, but what just happened has made them doubtful: can they really become invisible?
Tang Yue sighed, "The talismans on you are only effective while you are in the car. It's an invisibility formation. I made the formation according to the shape of the car. Once you get out of the car, the formation will naturally become ineffective."
Everyone suddenly realized what had happened, while Li Tieniu felt a bit annoyed. Why hadn't he asked the company commander earlier? Seriously, he'd caused such a big commotion; he was sure to be punished when he got back.
What he didn't know was that this matter was not over yet.
"Um, Battalion Commander, I didn't bring that much money with me this time. I'll pay you back when we get back, okay?"
Chang Yin remained silent with a cold expression, only nodding.
They're out on a mission, and normally they wouldn't stop in the county town for supplies. I don't know why this little girl is so pampered; she's been eating very well the whole way. She wouldn't accept just any random food to tide her over, so she finally went into town.
Tang Yue didn't think anything of it. Moreover, she had two other purposes for coming to the city. It wasn't far from the Qinling Mountains, and she wanted to see if there were any spies hiding in the county.
According to Commander Kang's map, she felt that as they went further, the population would become increasingly sparse. They had taken a shortcut, so there shouldn't be any towns along the way.
If there are spies hiding here, she can take care of them while she's at it, or learn more about the Qinling Mountains from them. Also, she wants to know more about the spies.
Also, Tang Yue felt that her father and his family hadn't had any decent food for a long time, and she wanted to bring them some. It was a mistake on her part; she had never gone hungry before, so she didn't value food enough.
After arriving here, although the living conditions were not good, their family's situation improved quickly. So, in the space, she initially tried to grow medicinal herbs, but never thought of growing grains.
She plans to gather some grain seeds here, not too many, just a few to grow slowly. After all, she doesn't know exactly how big the space is, and planting a little won't take up much room.
Chang Yin had a lot of grain coupons. They bought grain at the supply and marketing cooperative and then went to the state-run restaurant to buy some steamed buns. Although they hadn't been eating anything substantial these past few days, they certainly hadn't had any meat.
The old lady was delivering steamed buns to the clothing factory; the state-run restaurant should have them.
The group entered the state-run restaurant. The waitress, who had initially been cold, immediately smiled and came over to greet them when she saw their clothes.
"Hey, comrades, I've never seen you before. Which unit are you from?"
As she spoke, her eyes never left Chang Yin's face. "Hey comrade, do you have a girlfriend yet? Let me tell you, my second aunt's cousin is really..."
"No need, thank you. Comrade, we're here to buy steamed buns."
Seeing Chang Yin's indifferent attitude, the waitress did not give up and looked at the other women. If she couldn't marry the prettiest one, she could marry one of the others. She didn't think any of them were ugly.
Oh my, the waitress is now regretting getting married so early. If she hadn't gotten married, she would have definitely chosen one of these men to marry a military officer. The life she would have had is... wow!
The group felt uncomfortable under the waitress's gaze, which seemed to be staring at them like they were meat. Chang Yin glanced at the waitress and saw her eyes darting back and forth between them, as if she was considering which one to choose. He frowned.
Wang Ming noticed that his battalion commander was getting impatient. He looked at the waitress expressionlessly and said, "Comrade, we're here to buy steamed buns. Could you please give us some?"
Seeing that Wang Ming had spoken, the waitress no longer hesitated and stepped forward to ask him, "Comrade, do you have a girlfriend? Shall I introduce you to someone?"
Wang Ming quickly took two steps back to create some distance between himself and her, waving his hand hastily, "Comrade, no need, no need. I'm not planning on finding a partner yet. Um, could you get us some steamed buns?"
The waitress could tell that these men had no intention of marrying her cousin. Since they were no longer related, why should she bother with them?
She glared at them irritably, then returned to her usual chair and stopped looking at them. "No, today we only have multigrain steamed buns, no dumplings."
They were all dumbfounded; this person's ability to change their expression was faster than flipping through a book. And where were the steamed buns? They clearly smelled them, and wasn't that old woman just out delivering steamed buns?
Li Tieniu was already angry, and now he couldn't stand the waitress's attitude anymore.
"How can you talk like that, lady? Where are the steamed buns? Do you think we can't smell the strong aroma of steamed buns?"
