Chapter 67 Blind date?
Wei Ling sighed, staring at Lin Shu's photo and said: "She is such a special woman with ideas and insights, what a pity."
Wei Lan: "How can it be a pity that she is a military wife?"
Wei Ling: "Her husband... died."
"Ah?" Wei Lan opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Thinking of her eyes when she said she had two children, he seemed to understand her sadness. The father of the children could not come back.
He was sad again in an instant.
But he humbly ignited a glimmer of hope.
Military wives are also human beings. If their husbands die, then after the mourning period is over, can they... marry again?
Ah, this is too dirty, he can't think like this.
But... he really can't control his love at first sight.
He felt that she was a person who grew out of his most beautiful imagination, and he would be attracted to her at a glance in the crowd.
Moreover, she was so brave and quick, saving his little nephew.
If anything happened to his little nephew, he would have to die to atone for his sin.
In this way, she was his savior.
Wei Ling saw him standing there like a fool, with his eyes tightly closed and his lips pursed, and then his brows relaxed and a smile appeared, which looked very strange.
She punched him, "Are you crazy?"
Wei Lan told her about Lin Shu saving her nephew, "It's really thanks to her, otherwise I... can't explain to my brother, sister-in-law and parents."
Wei Ling said bluntly: "Don't scare yourself here, there is a hospital next to it, Xiaotian would not die without Lin Shu, at most he would suffer for a while."
But Lin Shu actually saved her nephew, this is really fate, Wei Ling thinks she must thank Lin Shu tomorrow.
She likes Lin Shu even more.
She found some magazines and books and planned to give them to Lin Shu tomorrow.
As a result, she received a call from her unit early the next morning, and there was an urgent interview that needed her to go, so she gave the books and photos to Wei Lan and asked him to help deliver them to Lin Shu.
"You should go and send them off earlier. If you are late, they may have to go back to the countryside."
Wei Lan suppressed his excitement, "Okay."
He had been blaming himself all night last night, thinking that he was wrong. She must be very sad after losing her husband, and it was really too much for him to say such things.
Would she think he was a fool?
Would she hate him? He
had promised not to think about her anymore, but after receiving Wei Ling's request, he immediately changed his clothes and set out.
As soon as the doctor in the laboratory came to work today, Lin Shu went to ask the old lady if the blood test results were out.
After taking a look at the test results, wow, Lin's mother was really anemic. Although Fang Dihua was not at the anemic line, the value was not high. It was probably related to the few sips of egg soup she drank every day to supplement nutrition these days.
Lin Shu went to the outpatient doctor to prescribe iron supplements, various vitamins, calcium tablets, etc.
Everyone in the family lacks nutrition. Children and adults all have leg cramps. It is basically a lack of calcium and vitamin D. If they supplement, they will be much better.
Unfortunately, there is no concept of supplementing trace elements now, and the hospital does not have the medicines that Lin Shu needs. The doctor weighed it and prescribed two medicines with similar effects, one bottle of 100 tablets each.
There is a real shortage of medicines in the country. The capital Shanghai and major provincial capitals are better, but the shortage is very serious in prefecture-level cities and county-level cities.
The doctor knew that she was filial and wanted to replenish the blood for the old man, so he smiled and said, "I will write you two malnutrition diagnosis books. You can take them to the market and buy two pounds of pig liver. You should also be able to buy two bottles of malted milk."
Don't even think about milk powder.
There is no milk powder factory in the city. If it can only be imported from other places, then ordinary people basically can't buy it. If there is, it will be quickly designated or sent to the cadres' homes.
Lin Shu: "Thank you, doctor."
She went back to tell the two old ladies and asked them to stay in the hospital with Baoer and cooperate with the doctor. She took the doctor's diagnosis book to the nearby market.
After buying the pig liver, she went to the hospital cafeteria to spend some money to ask the master to make it for her.
As soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she ran into Wei Lan, who was carrying a bag of books.
He was wearing a Dacron shirt, his hair was carefully groomed, and he had just shaved, looking light, fresh, and handsome.
"Hello, comrade Uncle Lin, I'm here to give you some books."
Lin Shu immediately understood, "You are Wei Ling's..."
"I'm her brother!"
Lin Shu stretched out her hand to him: "Hello, Section Chief Wei."
The young section chief has a bright future.
Wei Lan's hands were a little twitchy due to nervousness, and he shook hands with her quickly, "Sorry, I'm not the section chief, I'm the deputy..." He
was dizzy that day and was self-righteous.
Lin Shu smiled and didn't care.
He wanted to help Lin Shu pass the bag over, and they could chat for a while.
Lin Shu took the diagnosis book and said she was in a hurry to go out, so she asked him to help take it upstairs and give it to Fang Dihua.
Wei Lan was sharp-eyed. Seeing the anemia diagnosis book, he said, "Is it malnutrition? Then I can help you buy milk powder. Do you want it?"
Lin Shu was surprised and said, "Really? Won't it delay your work? Will it affect you?"
Wei Lan shook his head vigorously: "No trouble, not at all."
He just needs to use up his parents' quota of high-quality milk powder. What's the trouble?
His work content determines that his working hours are relatively flexible. He doesn't have to go to the unit on time every day, or even every day.
Lin Shu was very happy when she heard it. She subconsciously thought that Wei Lan used his position to secretly speculate and make extra money.
He is a cadre of the municipal party committee. It is still possible for him to get some milk powder to sell.
Because he was Wei Ling's younger brother, and Wei Ling worked at the People's Liberation Army Newspaper and was a decent person, her impression of Wei Lan improved immediately.
She sent the schoolbag back and said to Fang Dihua and Lin's mother, "Reporter Wei's younger brother can help buy milk powder. I'll go and see."
Lin's mother immediately gave her money.
Lin Shu did not refuse. The money she brought might not be enough, so she would use Lin's mother's money first.
Lin Shu went downstairs to buy milk powder with Wei Lan.
There is a department store in Rongcheng, a two-story building, and there are also two supply and marketing cooperatives.
Some of the goods in the department store are the same as those in the supply and marketing cooperative, but it has high-end products that the supply and marketing cooperative does not have, such as high-priced items that do not require tickets, candy, cigarettes, alcohol, leather shoes, coats, milk powder, etc.
Of course, some high-priced items that do not require tickets are also out of stock.
For example, chocolate, China cigarettes, and Maotai liquor are not available to ordinary people.
The department store is two stops away, and the two did not take a bus, but walked directly.
When they arrived at the door, Lin Shu did not go in. She handed the schoolbag to Wei Lan and asked him to go in by himself. She took the initiative to help keep watch.
After a while, Wei Lan came out and gave her the schoolbag.
Lin Shu reached in and squeezed it, and sure enough, there were two large bags of milk powder inside!
Great!
Lin Shu had asked people at the hospital, and found that a small bag of high-quality milk powder costs three yuan, and a large bag costs seven yuan.
Of course, the large package is suitable!
On the way back, she whispered, "Comrade Wei, seven yuan a bag, how much do you sell it for? Is ten yuan enough?"
Wei Lan wanted to say no, but was afraid that she would suspect him of ulterior motives, so he quickly said, "Seven yuan, no need to pay more."
Lin Shu was a little puzzled. If you buy goods from a department store and speculate, wouldn't you lose money?
Maybe... he can get the goods directly from the factory?
Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she was immediately excited. The factory's first-hand source of goods must be cheap.
Buy for five yuan, sell for seven yuan, and make two yuan for a bag.
Make as much as you can!
Although she didn't want to get involved, she wanted to buy it. Of course, she could also slowly give some to reliable people and make some extra money for herself, right?
She asked quietly: "Comrade Wei Lan, can you get milk powder every month?"
Wei Lan was so soft by her repeated calls of "Comrade Wei Lan" that he said lightly, "Yes."
Lin Shu wanted to have a good chat with him.
Just passing by the state-owned hotel, Lin Shu thought it would be better to treat him to a meal and then talk about the matter of purchasing milk powder on behalf of others.
She had something in mind, so she smiled like a flower and said softly, "Comrade Wei Lan, I'll treat you to dinner."
Wei Lan was dazed, "Okay, no, I'll treat you, I'll treat you to pork chop noodles."
His heart was beating uncontrollably, and he felt that Lin Shu was getting more and more enthusiastic about him. When he met her the day before yesterday, she was still polite but cold and distant. Today, when she knew that he was Wei Ling's brother, she suddenly became enthusiastic.
Although he had been reviewing and blaming all night last night, he had put everything behind him at this moment.
She smiled so beautifully and sweetly at him, was she interested in him?
She should like him too, right?
As long as she likes him, he would go through fire and water!
He instantly became a hundred times more courageous, and had the ambition to take his future partner to a restaurant.
The two went to the state-owned hotel. It was not yet time for dinner, and there were not many people inside.
The waiter sat there eating melon seeds, his eyelids drooping, without raising his head: "Dinner is not served yet, come back later."
Wei Lan: "Here it is! I want a large pork noodle, a..." He turned to ask Lin Shu: "The large pork noodle here is delicious, but there are other dishes such as shredded pork noodles and egg noodles. What do you want to eat?"
Lin Shu: "Comrade Wei Lan, your sister treated me and your sister-in-law to dinner yesterday, and I'm treating you today. Just order whatever you want. If you want large pork noodles, I'll have that too."
Wei Lan smiled, feeling unspeakably sad . sweet, ah, she wants to be the same as him, is she...
He knocked on the waiter's table and brought the waiter's small plate of melon seeds, "Two large pork chops."
The waiter had recognized him and smiled and complimented him, "Wei Ke, there are two roast chickens today, how about it?"
Wei Lan certainly wanted it, the chicken can be eaten slowly, so he can stay with Lin Shu longer, he asked Lin Shu: "Can we have a chicken?"
Lin Shu nodded: "Okay."
Now you have money but can't eat things, of course you have to buy some.
At worst, when the roast chicken comes up, she will remove the two chicken thighs and wrap them up, and take them back to the elderly and children to eat. I believe Wei Lan will understand.
Wei Lan's heart almost flew up, so excited!
She agreed to everything he said, she must like him!
The waiter called to the chef in the back, "Master Chen, two servings of pork chop noodles and a roast chicken."
Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming led several team members through the streets and alleys, and walked quickly towards the state-owned hotel.
Lu Shaotang: "Is that correct?"
Chen Yanming: "That's correct. Chen Chaofa, the fifth-level chef of the second state-owned restaurant, has excellent knife skills and owns a radio station."
Owning a radio station is the most important thing, because they are responsible for digging radio stations.
Lu Shaotang stood far away and observed the location of the state-owned hotel, the surrounding environment, and the citizens who might come and go.
Chen Chaofa's knife skills are amazing, and he is more difficult to deal with than the people he arrested before. In order not to hurt innocent people, they need to be 100% sure before taking action.
Just like the situation the day before yesterday, Lu Shaotang shot because the man's technique was average, and he was sure he
could kill him before he cut the hostage's flesh. If it was Chen Chaofa, it wouldn't work, because the bullet would kill the hostage before it hit him.
So what they are doing now is not arresting, but investigating, understanding, and monitoring, waiting for the right time to arrest, maybe a few days later, or when Chen Chaofa goes out alone after work.
Lu Shaotang's habit is to make the most thorough preparations, try to avoid accidents during the action, and hit the target with one shot.
Chen Yanming: "Then let's go have dinner too."
Lu Shaotang nodded slightly.
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "The investigation shows that Chen Chaofa is a great knife-wielder and a great cook. He makes very authentic pork chops. I'm in for a treat."
Lu Shaotang definitely couldn't go. He had a strong personality and a cold demeanor. He was obviously not an ordinary person. He couldn't pretend. It was easy to tell when he met Chen Chaofa.
Lu Shaotang held him back and said, "You can't go either."
He made a gesture and let the two ruffian team members pass.
The two team members had ruffian temperaments, and looked like two hooligans on the street. One of them had a scar on his forehead, a face full of flesh, one of his ears was missing a piece, and there was a little gap on his mouth.
These were all scars left by battles.
As long as they put away their upright eyes and acted rudely, they would be complete street hooligans.
The kind that even the red armbands would not care about.
When they went to eat, they fit the image of the hooligans who had no job and went to the hotel to eat before mealtime. When
the two approached, they found that there were already guests in the hotel, and a young couple was sitting by the window.
The man had delicate features, while the woman was very bright. She smiled happily, and her watery eyes seemed to carry a magical power that could captivate people, making people wonder if she was a fox spirit from the mountains.
Chen Yanming clicked his tongue, "You are so lucky, young man, to have met such a beautiful girl on a blind date."
He thought the two were on a blind date, not dating.
State-owned hotels are so expensive, dating partners won't come here, and men will try to take them to their dormitories to cook.
He saw something wrong with Lu Shaotang's eyes, a little... fierce. What's wrong with that?
Chen Yanming immediately became alert, "Old Lu, are there problems with these two too?"
This Chen Chaofa is really capable, how could he have developed so many subordinates?
