"Is the food you cook delicious?" Zhang Xingrong expressed her doubt. Lu Ran had been spoiled by Old Lady Lu since he was little, and he didn't have to cook at home. What would he cook when he went out to the army canteen?
Lu Ran thought about it and nodded: "Then teach me."
The two of them worked together. Lu Ran bought some pork and a bunch of vegetables. She simply made stir-fried pork with lettuce and cabbage with vinegar. Lu Ran was very attentive and asked a lot of questions. He was very eager to learn.
There were two dishes, both of which were quite large in portion, enough for the two of them to sit down and eat.
"Did you really go to buy vegetable seeds today?" she asked.
Lu Ran didn't expect her to ask about him, so he was very happy: "Well, I've done some tidying up of the land in the back. It should be ready tomorrow."
Zhang Xingrong frowned immediately: "Your injury is not fully healed yet, you can't use too much force."
"Okay!" Lu Ran said.
Zhang Xingrong was a little worried. In fact, the medicine in her space was good, and the injury should heal quickly, but she was afraid of the worst: "Go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow, and we'll talk about it if everything is fine."
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded obediently.
Just as they finished their meal, there was a knock on the door. Lu Ran cleaned up the dishes and she went to open the door.
A middle-aged woman was standing outside the door, holding a bunch of vegetables. She looked Zhang Xingrong up and down, "Oh, you are Xiao Lu's wife?"
"Hello, Auntie," Zhang Xingrong nodded. "Lu Ran is washing dishes inside. Come in."
The woman followed him into the house, a puzzled look on her face: "Why are you asking Xiao Lu, a grown man, to wash the dishes? Washing dishes and cooking are women's jobs. Men are supposed to do the big things!"
Zhang Xingrong's expression turned colder upon hearing this. She really didn't like nosy women. Was it really the turn of an outsider to interfere in their marital affairs? However, the woman in front of her might be a family member of Lu Ran's boss, so she hesitated whether to confront him or not.
"Aunt Liu, men and women are equal. Women can wash dishes, and men can wash them too. Now, both men and women have to go out to work and do great things." Lu Ran came out, also a little unhappy, "We can discuss our family affairs among ourselves."
Aunt Liu felt embarrassed when she heard Lu Ran say this: "I'm sorry for being nosy. I came here to bring you food! You're such a jerk! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I only found out about it after hearing about it from them!"
Lu Ran then said, "I just got back, Aunt Liu, Zhang Tuan is in good health, you don't have to worry."
"That's good, that's good." Aunt Liu was very happy. She put down the dishes and started chatting with the couple.
But just then, the door was knocked again. Zhang Xingrong didn't want to talk to her any more, so she got up to open the door. It was Zhou Da.
"Wife Xiao Lu, your phone is ringing!"
Zhang Xingrong hurried to answer the phone, and it was indeed Ma Wan's call.
"Director, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Xingrong told him what she had seen and heard yesterday: "...The manufacturer is in Qiao Town, which is not far from Jiang City. They just got their products, and they look quite similar to ours. I suspect I copied them. But the vines are different; they're climbing vines."
Jiangshi, the city that governs their county, displays their factory's goods in the Jiangshi Department Store.
The green ivy growing on the mountain in their Hongyun Production Brigade was unique to that area, and could only be found outside the province. She had examined it carefully yesterday and had discovered that the Qiaozhen vines were distinctly different from theirs.
"How could such a thing happen?" Ma Wan was also very angry when he heard it, "Isn't this a thief?"
