After preparing all these, Tian Yujun found a canning bottle, fished out the pickled vegetables from the vegetable jar, chopped them up, mixed them with oil and chili peppers, and put them in a small jar for Jiang Wan.
More or less, it’s a token of her appreciation.
When Tian Xiaojun came out of the kitchen, the bracken had been torn apart by the two men and hung on the balcony wire, and the ones that had been dried previously had been collected.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Qingdong said, "Sister-in-law, you and Brother Chen should go to bed early. I will also go back to pack my things."
"Go ahead."
As soon as Zhang Qingdong came back, he boiled some water and washed himself from head to toe, applying lots of soap.
He was too excited to sleep that night, so he washed all his clothes and hung them up.
He took out a brand new military uniform from the closet and placed it on the bedside, making sure he wore something clean the next morning.
Zhang Qingdong fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next morning, he went for morning exercises as usual.
As soon as the horn for morning exercises sounded in the next yard, Tian Yujun got up to make butter cakes.
The noodles and fillings were prepared last night, and the noodles were also fermented last night, so it was relatively quick to do it today.
When Chen Jianguo and his friends came back from morning exercises, Tian Yujun had already baked the pancakes.
She packed two portions and put the smaller one in the lunch box for Zhang Qingdong.
The extra copy is for Committee Member Zhou.
After Zhang Qingdong came back from morning exercises and had breakfast, he went to find Zhou Weiwei to get the information and keys.
Committee member Zhou was already waiting for him in the office.
There was a cardboard box on the table, which was sealed tightly.
Zhou Weiwei said: "There is a seal on it, this is the address.
It must be delivered this afternoon without any delay on the way.
The journey is long, and I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone. No matter what happens, don't get off the bus easily, the information is important."
Zhang Qingdong glanced at the cardboard box on the table and suddenly felt that this task was not easy.
He nodded slightly.
Zhou Weiwei added: "Take a day off today and come back early the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Qingdong nodded again.
He knew very well in his heart that this day was the time that Committee Member Zhou had reserved for him alone.
He took the keys and documents and came out of Committee Member Zhou's office. Chen Jianguo was already waiting at the door.
He was carrying a cloth bag and a lunch box.
He walked Zhang Qingdong to the car and handed him the cloth bag.
"Here, your sister-in-law prepared this for Jiang Wan. There's also food in it for you on the road."
Zhang Qingdong smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, and thank you, sister-in-law."
Chen Jianguo took out two big unity notes and handed them to Zhang Qingdong: "Please help me buy some mutton for your sister-in-law. The mutton in the provincial capital is delicious."
Zhang Qingdong got in the car, rolled down the window and said, "I'll just buy it."
Chen Jianguo said, "Don't make me angry. I asked you to bring it with you. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Qingdong knew Chen Jianguo’s bad temper, but he still took the money in the end.
Chen Jianguo said: "Be careful and be safe alone."
"knew."
Zhang Qingdong smiled, started the car and left.
After the car left, Chen Jianguo remembered that he was still holding the cake for Zhou Weiwei.
After he remembered, he went into the building and knocked on the door of Committee Member Zhou's office.
"Come in!"
Chen Jianguo pushed the door open and walked in, smiling: "Leader, what are you busy with?
My wife made butter cakes and sugar cakes this morning. She asked me to bring you some. I put the lunch box here for you. You can try them later."
Zhou Xiaowei smiled and said, "Tiaotiaotiao, thank your wife for me."
"Then I'll go to the training ground first."
"Go ahead."
As soon as Chen Jianguo stepped forward, Zhou Wei couldn't wait to open the lid of the lunch box, which contained eight small round cakes of the same size.
Let’s not talk about how it tastes, just the size, shape, and golden appearance are enough to make people drool.
Zhou Weiwei had eaten breakfast in the morning, but he was still hungry when he saw the pancakes.
He picked up a butter cake, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.
How is this pancake made? It’s so crispy and crunchy.
Zhou Weiwei ate a whole pancake in two bites.
This cake tastes really good.
When Zhou Yuwei was about to eat the second cake, Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa came to clean up his office.
As the two of them came in, the office was filled with fragrance.
Zhou Weiwei remembered that he had something else to report to his leader, so he said, "When you two are done, go to the training ground. I'll go to another office."
The two men stood up straight and said, "Yes."
Zhou Weiwei and his team worked together, one wiped the table and mopped the floor, while the other went to get two kettles of hot water.
When the two were about to leave, Zhang Xiwa said mysteriously, "Did you see the lunch box on the leader's desk? It belongs to our boss.
I took a peek and saw that there was a butter cake inside.
This pancake must have been made by our sister-in-law."
Zhao Erdan asked, "Really?"
"real."
"Then let's each steal one."
Zhang Xiwa chuckled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
The two men planned to steal one each, but one of them took two and carefully closed the lid when he left.
When Zhou Weiwei came back and wanted to continue eating, he opened the lunch box and found three pancakes inside.
Where is the cake?
Where's my cake?
Zhou Yiwei glanced around the table and thought of the two new recruits, Zhao Erdan and Zhang Xiwa.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Two little bastards."
On the way to the training ground, the two men finished the two pancakes in just a few bites, and Zhao Erdan almost licked his fingers.
Zhang Xiwa said, "I told you, this is my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, but you still don't believe it."
Zhao Erdan said, "Will Zhou Wei blame us later?"
"Look at your ability. We ate it all, and he won't be angry.
Besides, we are human beings, and we won’t argue with you just because of two pieces of cake.”
Zhao Erdan thought about it and agreed.
The biscuits are all gone, there's no point in beating them.
When the two men arrived at the training ground, Chen Jianguo had already started training.
Zhang Qingdong was driving alone on the way to the provincial capital. The journey was relatively smooth and he did not encounter any special situations.
He drove all the way to the provincial capital, and when he passed by a restaurant on the way, he didn't even brake the car.
He couldn't wait to see Jiang Wan.
At one o'clock, Zhang Qingdong arrived in the provincial capital.
He first sent the information to the other party, wrote the handover procedures with them, and after both parties signed and put their fingerprints on them, the other party called Commissioner Zhou.
Committee member Zhou talked to Zhang Qingdong for a few more words on the phone.
"That's it. Your mission this time is over. Go back to the hotel and rest. Just remember to come back the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Qingdong said: "Thank you, leader."
"Stop talking nonsense and stay safe."
After the matter was settled, Zhang Qingdong went to the restaurant in the provincial capital.
After checking into a room, he took a shower, changed into a white shirt, a pair of black school pants, and a pair of leather shoes and went to Jiang Wan's school. He wanted to give her a surprise.
The military green SUV stopped in a corner of the school, and he headed towards the bottom of the girls' dormitory building.
When he arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building, he looked at the time on his wrist.
Three forty-five.
