After sitting at Song Qingbin's residence for about ten minutes, Song Lan suggested that she wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Upon hearing this, Song Qingbin readily agreed to accompany her.
Along the way, Song Qingbin helped Song Lan push her bicycle. When they arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, before Song Lan could say anything, Song Qingbin said, "Go in, I'll watch your bicycle here."
"Okay, I'll be quick."
Holding an empty travel bag, Song Lan walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.
She had a lot of tickets on her, some of which she had bought on the black market.
Knowing what to buy, Song Lan was quick, and in no time, her travel bag was bulging.
"Brother, I've bought it."
As Song Lan walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she stood in front of Song Qingbin.
“Let’s go, we siblings can walk together for a while.”
Song Qing took the travel bag from Song Lan and tied it to the back seat. Then, he put up the kickstand and called for Song Lan to follow.
After walking about two hundred meters, Song Qingbin stopped. Seeing Song Lan gripping the handlebars, he stepped aside and said, "Be careful on the road."
Song Lan nodded and said "Mmm".
Song Qingbin glanced at the bamboo basket hanging on the handlebars and spoke again: "There are eggs in the basket. Be careful while riding, or all the eggs will be broken when you get home."
"Brother, you're so fussy. If Mom knew you were like this, she'd probably give you both a dirty look."
Song Lan joked.
“Growing up, Mom has given your second brother and me a lot of dirty looks. Two more won’t make a difference to me.”
Song Qingbin smiled, not at all worried about being given the cold shoulder by his elderly mother.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Alright, get on and go. Your second brother and I will come to find you after get off work tomorrow at noon."
Song Qingbin waved his hand.
"Okay, I'll go home right after I get off work."
Song Lan said, "I'll have lunch at my house and show off my skills to you and my second brother."
"good."
Song Qingbin nodded with a smile.
"Then I'm leaving!"
Song Lan said goodbye.
"Um."
Song Qingbin waved his hand again.
Watching Song Lan ride away into the distance, he turned his gaze away and walked towards the street where the grain station was located.
The supply and marketing cooperative and the grain station are located on two different streets at the crossroads.
Simply put, because supply and marketing cooperatives are closely related to people's daily lives, their geographical location is naturally better than that of grain stations.
Located on the main street.
The entrance is always bustling with people coming and going.

"Comrade Song Lan will be back soon, right?"
Chen Dongsheng's superior glanced at the time on his wristwatch, then turned his gaze to Qin Yanzheng and asked a question.
"They should already be on their way back."
Qin Yanzheng responded.
Just as he finished speaking, a noise came from the courtyard gate.
Wu Dong got up and walked out of the living room. The next moment, he turned to the living room and said, "Comrade Song Lan is back."
Before he could finish speaking, she had already taken a step towards Song Lan.
"Are there guests at home?"
Wu Dong was pushing the bicycle when Song Lan asked casually.
"Yes." Wu Dong nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to see Comrade Song."
"You came to see me?" Song Lan was taken aback, her bright eyes filled with doubt. "What is it?"
"They didn't say exactly, but one of them was rescued by you in the mountains."
Upon hearing Wu Dong's words, Song Lan vaguely remembered them and said, "I understand. I'll go to the living room after I wash my hands."
Walking to the sink, Song Lan turned on the tap, washed her hands, took a towel from the clothesline to dry them, and turned to walk towards the living room when she saw two tall and imposing figures walking out of the living room door.
"Comrade Song Lan, I am Zhao Yunzhen. Do you remember me?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lan nodded slightly and smiled: "Of course. But Comrade Zhao, there's no need to use honorifics with me. Let's just talk normally."
The use of the formal "you" made her feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, whatever Comrade Song Lan says goes, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Yunzhen nodded with a broad smile.
Is this ever going to end? Qin Yanzheng, in his wheelchair, arrived at the living room door. Hearing Zhao Yunzhen's words, he felt that everyone was harboring treacherous intentions, wanting to oust him and take his place.
Otherwise, why would he always listen to his wife?!
A dark glint flashed in his eyes, but Qin Yanzheng's handsome face showed no sign of anything amiss.
Ha! Keep dreaming. His wife is his, and he won't give anyone the chance to steal her away!
Qin Yanzheng's inner thoughts at this moment could be described as those of a true drama queen.
"This is me..."
Zhao Yunzhen was about to introduce Chen Dongsheng to Song Lan when, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that his superior was standing beside him. Immediately, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "This is my superior."
Then, he turned his gaze to Chen Dongsheng, but before he could speak, Chen Dongsheng looked at Song Lan and introduced himself: "Hello, Comrade Song Lan, my name is Chen Dongsheng. I was fortunate enough to escape with my life thanks to your help before."
Song Lan first nodded slightly to the two leaders, as a response to their nod and greeting when Zhao Yunzhen introduced them to her.
She then turned her gaze to Chen Dongsheng and said with a smile, "I was just helping out with a small matter; it was Comrade Zhao Yunzhen who saved you."
Zhao Yunzhen hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't take credit. If it weren't for Comrade Song's help, even if I had taken out that bullet, Dong Sheng would probably have died there."
"Let's sit in the living room and talk. My wife just got back from her bike ride and she needs to rest."
Qin Yanzheng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Yes, yes, we'll listen to Comrade Qin. Let's go sit in the living room and wait for Comrade Song to rest for a while before we talk about business."
Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen's superiors then spoke.

"I understand what you mean, but I have no requests. I will donate the prescription to the country free of charge."
After sitting down and taking a couple of sips of water from the enamel mug Qin Yanzheng offered, Song Lan asked Chen Dongsheng and Zhao Yunzhen what their superiors wanted to see her about. Without hesitation, she gave her answer after hearing their purpose.
With the prescription she provided, so many of the most lovable people could be saved. What more could she ask for or what conditions she need to set?
The greatest value of a prescription is its ability to save lives.
She was able to develop that special medicine so that the soldiers on the battlefield would suffer fewer casualties!
However, on the battlefield, when facing the enemy, some soldiers unfortunately lost their lives directly, while others were seriously injured... There was no time to treat them, and they... because they could not be carried to the rear for treatment in time, they lost too much blood or died from the pain.
Thinking of those soldiers who had followed her, fought bravely on the battlefield, and ultimately died on the battlefield, a trace of sorrow involuntarily appeared in Song Lan's eyes.
As the commander-in-chief, she led her army in battles for several years. Before her death, she pacified the entire grassland, allowing the dynasty to recuperate and the people to live in peace. But all of this was achieved at the cost of countless lives.
Compared to how much countries in this world value their soldiers who defend their homeland, in her original world... even if the emperor intended to reward the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect their country from invasion,
However, some people in the court secretly sabotaged the soldiers, either by embezzling their pay, mixing sand and gravel into their rations, or by embezzling and selling the cotton-padded clothes provided by the court.
They are truly selfish, insidious, and shameless!
