After dinner, Su Ruoli was going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Lu Chen pushed his bicycle and walked slowly with Su Ruoli.
The distance was just that far, and in a short while, the two of them reached the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lu Chen didn't know what he saw. He handed the bicycle to Su Ruoli and ran away in a hurry.
Su Ruoli could only lock her bicycle and go into the supply and marketing cooperative. She took a look around but didn't buy anything.
When she came out, Lu Chen had not returned yet. Su Ruoli pushed the bicycle to an empty corner and quickly took out a dozen glass bottles from the space. There were no words or labels on them.
He put it in the front basket of the bicycle and pushed the bicycle to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
No one knew where Lu Chen was doing, so Su Ruoli could only sit on the steps and wait.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Chen finally came back.
Lu Chen saw Su Ruoli sitting on the steps in front of the supply and marketing cooperative and walked over quickly. "I'm sorry! Xiao Li'er, I just saw a thief stealing something over there, and I didn't have time to tell you. I guess you've been waiting for a long time!"
Thief? How come she didn't see it?
She can't be angry just because someone is chasing a thief.
Su Ruoli stood up and said, "It's okay. Where are we going now? Back?"
"Where else do you want to go? I'll go with you." Lu Chen asked.
Lu Chen had never gone shopping with a girl before, and he didn't know what girls liked, so he could only ask Su Ruoli.
"I don't have anywhere I want to go. Why don't we go back? It's getting late. Don't you have to go back to the army?" Su Ruoli said.
"Okay, let's go back!" Lu Chen took the bicycle, straddled it, and said to Su Ruoli, "Let's go."
As usual, Su Ruoli sat in the back seat, pulling at Lu Chen's collar with her hands.
On the way back, Lu Chen rode very steadily.
When she got home, Su Ruoli remembered that she had forgotten to bring food for Zhang Sitong.
Now that I'm home, I can't go back to buy it.
If you didn’t buy it, then don’t buy it. I’ll make it later. I still have to eat in the afternoon anyway.
Lu Chen parked the bicycle, and Su Ruoli took out the bottle from the front basket of the bicycle, washed it with water, wiped it dry, and put it outside to dry for a while until there was no moisture at all.
She took the bottles to fill with sauce, and Lu Chen also came to help. She filled some of the two sauces separately and filled all the twelve bottles she took out.
But there was still a lot of sauce left, so she went back to her room, found a cloth bag, put four bottles of each, and handed it to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen gladly accepted what Xiao Lier gave him, but he secretly thought that he should give Xiao Lier more meat in the future to supplement her.
After packing his things, Lu Chen looked at the time and realized that it was time to leave. If he didn't leave now, he would be late.
But he was still accusing his leader in his heart for insisting that he go back at 7 o'clock tonight. He didn't know what the matter was, but obeying orders was a soldier's duty.
Lu Chen looked at Su Ruoli and said, "Xiao Li'er, do you still remember the address and phone number I gave you last time?"
Su Ruoli thought about it and nodded, "I remember!"
"Then can you write to me? I will write to you too." There was a hint of reluctance in Lu Chen's tone.
"Okay, I will write to you." Su Ruoli said.
"Then don't forget to write to me."
"Okay, got it. Let's go quickly. If you don't leave now, you'll be late." Su Ruoli said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the village entrance."
"No need. This place is quite far from the village entrance. If you want to come back, I can get there in two steps." Lu Chen said.
In the end, Su Ruoli only sent Lu Chen to the door, watched him walk away, and then turned back.
Lu Chen also looked back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance. They had just been together, but he just felt reluctant to leave.
Su Ruoli returned to the room, went into the space to get a lunch box and filled it with two servings of rice and two servings of vegetables, one of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and the other of stir-fried black fungus.
They were originally planning to cook, but when they came back, Zhang Sitong didn't come out, and they didn't know whether she brought any food. She took it out from the space and said that she brought it from the state-owned restaurant.
She doesn't know anyway.
After putting the meal in the kitchen, Su Ruoli knocked on Zhang Sitong's door. Zhang Sitong was half asleep. She opened the door and saw it was Su Ruoli.
He rubbed his eyes and came out sleepily, saying, "I'm so sleepy! Ruoli, why are you all back? What time is it?"
Su Ruoli looked at Zhang Sitong and said, "How long have you been sleeping? You're still not awake. Go wash your face and wake up."
Zhang Sitong hung her head and went to wash her face before she felt sober.
When Zhang Sitong regained consciousness, she realized that she hadn't seen Lu Chen. She then asked Su Ruoli, "Ruoli, where is your brother Lu?"
"My brother Lu has gone home." Su Ruoli said, "Have you eaten lunch? I brought you some food. Do you want to eat now or later?"
"Wow! You actually brought me food. I love you so much. I didn't eat lunch and I'm starving." Zhang Sitong ran over and hugged Su Ruoli.
"Then go eat it quickly. I've put it on the stove."
"Don't you want to eat?" Zhang Sitong asked.
"I'll eat later. I don't feel too hungry right now." After Su Ruoli said that, she went back to the house. She wanted to take out a few more bottles from the space and put the sauce in them.
Su Ruoli locked the door, took out another twenty bottles from the space, and carried the bottles to the kitchen. Zhang Sitong was eating them voraciously.
Su Ruoli began to wash the bottles.
Although Zhang Sitong was eating, she saw Su Ruoli washing the bottles and mumbled, "Ruoli, don't be busy. Wait until I finish eating, then I'll wash them."
"It's okay! You can eat it. It's all clean. I just need to rinse it with water." Su Ruoli said this, but her hands did not stop moving.
Twenty bottles were washed in a few strokes. Each one was washed clean, wiped again, and placed upside down on the stove. These bottles must be free of moisture before they can be used to hold sauce, otherwise, if there is moisture, the sauce will easily go bad.
When Su Ruoli finished washing the bottles, Zhang Sitong had also finished her meal.
"Ruoli, please eat quickly. The food is still hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Zhang Sitong said.
"Ruoli, are you washing this bottle to store sauce?"
"Yes, otherwise if the sauce is always left like this, our basins will not be enough." Su Ruoli said.
Zhang Sitong said, "That's right. Then you eat. I'll take care of the rest."
Su Ruoli didn't want to eat either, mainly because she hadn't digested the lunch yet and wasn't hungry now.
"Let the bottles air out for a while. They can only be filled when there's no water left." Su Ruoli put the rice away and said, "Let's leave the rice aside for a while. We're not hungry yet."
Back in the room, Su Ruoli looked at the things Lu Chen bought for her on the bed and took them out one by one, including malted milk, canned food, White Rabbit milk candy, and various snacks.
The most important thing is that there is also a bragi skirt and a pair of small leather shoes inside.
Why would Lu Chen buy her a skirt and small leather shoes? How could he know what size she wears? Isn’t this just buying random things?
