Ling Ju didn't know what Xu Zhengwen was thinking, and didn't know that he was absent-minded.
She would never take his dirty money which looked like alms. Who knew if that money was earned by reselling arms and betraying the country?
Besides, she has enough money to buy watermelons and popsicles.
After returning to the store, Ling Ju washed her hands several times. She felt that she was dirty after the few minutes of contact with Xu Zhengwen.
Zhen Zhen and Zheng Yao were busy while watching her wash her hands back and forth.
"Orange, what's wrong? My hands are almost peeling off after washing them."
Ling Ju smiled helplessly, "I bumped into something dirty."
"Is it the officer who just came? Do you know him?"
Ling Ju shook her head. "I don't know him, but he seems very dirty and speaks too greasy. He doesn't seem like a good person. It makes me feel a little disgusted."
Zhen Zhen always keeps her word to Ling Ju. She hates the people Ling Ju hates, and she trusts Ling Ju's intuition very much.
"Then I'll chase him away next time he comes."
Ling Ju thought about it and realized that this would be too deliberate. "No need. If he wants to buy something, just sell it normally. If he wants to pay more, just don't charge him. Besides, he may not come again."
"OK."
But Xu Zhengwen's words reminded her, "Zhen Zhen, take some money from the drawer and buy a watermelon. Send half to Hu Jun and Wu Jian. It's hot today, let's have some fruit."
Zhen Zhen readily agreed, "Okay! Yao Mei'er, you watch the store, I'll go buy it!"
"OK!"
Ling Ju doesn't come to the store very often anyway.
Especially now that she is pregnant and the weather is getting hot, she is too lazy to move.
During the week of waiting for Ling Yong to return to Beijing, Ling Ju also took the time to visit the breeding base. The egg production is now very stable and can fully meet the daily needs of several large families and the classroom.
Ling Dawei and Tian Mei's vegetable garden is also doing well. Because the weather in Beijing gets hot earlier than in Liaoning Province, many home-cooked vegetables have grown very tall and some are edible.
She felt that the breeding base could start to expand.
She and Mo Ran walked around the base.
"Mo Ran, can you handle all this now?"
Mo Ran nodded, "That's absolutely fine. Besides, I have experience now and I know the habits of chickens very well. I think we can expand the scale a bit and catch another hundred chicks."
"How are the breeding chickens? Did they hatch successfully?"
Mo Ran was very excited when he heard Ling Ju ask him, "Yes, it was very successful. It just hatched not long ago. Come over here and take a look."
Mo Ran led Ling Ju to a simple incubation room. From the window, they saw the hatching eggs inside, some of which were about to hatch.
"The chickens we feed with our special feed are incredibly strong and free of infectious diseases. They have strong resistance to infection, and the eggs they hatch are a size larger than regular eggs. The failure rate is also very low. We laid twenty eggs in the first batch, and all of them hatched. Uncle Ling is so happy!"
Ling Ju was also infected by Mo Ran's relaxed and cheerful tone, and she was very happy to hear her say so much.
Finally, Mo Ran took her to see the newly hatched chicks. Sure enough, both their size and fur color were very good, and she was very happy.
When I left, I went to the garden to pick some onions, coriander, cherry tomatoes and other vegetables before going home.
Because her pregnancy showed up earlier this time than before, if she wore tight clothes, her belly could be seen to be slightly bulging, so her family also told Song Xiulan.
The old lady was very happy. She said that everyone in her family was acting weird and it turned out that they were hiding something from her.
But she was not angry about such a good thing, and she even went to the kitchen to cook sweet soup for Ling Ju.
Ling Ju didn't go back to the store, but Zhen Zhen told him that Xu Zhengwen had come back to buy sauce. This time he bought twenty bottles to take away, all weighing three pounds.
Ling Ju raised an eyebrow. Of course Xu Zhengwen could patronize her business. It was his freedom to spend his money however he wanted. But as far as she knew, the Xu family didn't seem to have that many people eating there.
Xu Ziqing's wife died early, and he is a widower.
Xu Yingwen is not married, but Xu Zhengwen is married, but it seems that they have no children.
He bought so much, probably to give it to his subordinates.
But she didn't care. As long as Xu Zhengwen gave her the money, she would prepare it for him if he came to buy 300 kilograms.
But she didn't want his dirty money, she only wanted to earn what she deserved.
In the evening, when she told Song Qi that Xu Zhengwen went to buy beef sauce, Song Qi was only slightly surprised.
He had long noticed that there were some strange people around the courtyard, and he knew with his toes that they were Xu family's spies.
"Song Qi, I've always been curious about one thing. When we got married, didn't Xu Ziqing and General Wang Zhenhai attend the wedding? My parents were there too. How come Xu Ziqing didn't recognize them?"
Song Qi thought for a moment, "He had never met your parents, and I guess he didn't think too much about it at the time, because our relationship with the Yan family was not very good at that time, and the Ye family hadn't moved back to Beijing at that time, so he naturally didn't worry. So he didn't go to investigate."
"So that's how it is. Then are Generals Song Qi and Wang Zhenhai clean?"
Song Qi looked into her bright eyes and nodded. "Although Uncle Wang has a hot temper, sometimes speaks without thinking, and looks down on women, he is a clean person. Dad actually suspected him of having assaulted Song Xin at first, but after our investigation, we found that he had nothing to do with it. His initial disdain for female scouts was entirely due to his personality."
"We were staking out the temple and were a little skeptical when we found out about Xu Ziqing, because we initially suspected Wang Zhenhai more."
