Chapter 216 -216 Everywhere Eating Melon

Tonight the sky turned dark even later. After they got home, they couldn’t sleep because too many things had happened today; honestly, they had a lot to process.

Sitting on the windowsill in the bedroom, looking at the moon outside, they watched as much as they could since the polar day was approaching soon.

The two didn’t talk much because Lu Jianguo was not a confused person; they were both clear about what had originally happened, and they had been investigating, so Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t need to do anything.

Their biggest regret was that Lu Ruisheng’s mother was no longer alive, a loss that could no longer be remedied.

Of course, they bore a grudge against that old lady. If they could see her, they would definitely not let her have an easy time. Also, there was the matter of Lu Lianlian—they would investigate that if they went to the headquarters.

As for Second Uncle, they were quite looking forward to meeting him, but that so-called grandfather, not so much.

The next morning, after they had breakfast, they greeted the neighbors and went to the hospital.

They brought Lu Jianguo vegetable and mushroom porridge and scallion pancakes, with dried scallions that wouldn’t raise suspicions.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Jianguo had just washed his face. He was not one to just lie in bed. At the moment, he was wandering by the door of the ward, obviously hoping for his son and daughter-in-law to arrive.

Seeing Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, he said as he approached, “Look at this, you’re taking the trouble to cook and bring me food so early. I could eat anything.”

As he spoke, his mouth couldn’t stop smiling—a sweet complaint that made them feel quite good.

Gu Pan smiled and said, “We have to eat too, bringing an extra portion was no trouble.”

Entering the room, Lu Ruisheng opened the food container and helped Lu Jianguo serve the food.

Lu Jianguo insisted on serving himself, asking them to sit.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng sat by the coffee table.

As Lu Jianguo ate his porridge, he talked about how tasty it was. His spirits were exceptionally high today; he often suffered from insomnia, but surprisingly, he had slept soundly the previous night.

After they ate, a nurse came to deliver the medicine. The base was low on medical supplies, so they weren’t giving infusions anymore, just some medicine.

The nurse was very enthusiastic when she saw Gu Pan and instructed her on how to take the medicine. She also mentioned that new clothes had arrived at the store and encouraged Gu Pan to look when she had time, as there might be styles available that were usually hard to find.

Lu Jianguo, after the nurse left, quickly said to Lu Ruisheng, “Quick, take Panpan to the store to look around, buy whatever she wants, don’t worry about the cost.”

Lu Ruisheng smiled towards Gu Pan, “Shall we go take a look?”

Gu Pan thought it was a good idea, considering she needed a source for her clothes. Buying a few more items and pulling some from “Space” later would provide a cover.

She nodded, “Okay, let’s go take a look.”

After bidding farewell to Lu Jianguo, they left.

When they arrived at the store, they saw many people inside. They heard from someone at the entrance that the base scavenging team had returned the previous afternoon with many materials.

Because of the incident at their home yesterday, they really didn’t know, and neither did Lu Jianguo. However, it was likely not significant energy resources; otherwise, they would have informed Lu Jianguo.

After entering the store, they saw that each counter had many people. They didn’t rush to queue up but decided to walk around first.

They were surprised to find that the vendor at the bedding counter had changed; the one who had flattered Song Xiner was gone. It was unclear if it was because of swift reform at the base, the J B letter had worked, or it was just a coincidence that the person was off duty that day.

If she had been punished, could Song Xiner’s father also need to be disciplined? That wasn’t certain yet; they would have to wait and see. If there was no action, they would deal with them separately.

After circling around, they saw that all spots were crowded, so they decided to queue at the clothing section, as Lu Ruisheng was worried that if he didn’t buy clothes for Gu Pan, Lu Jianguo might scold him when they went back.

Thinking of this, Lu Ruisheng smiled. So this was what it felt like to have elders care for you.

While in the queue, they also listened to people discussing rationing. Cotton and similar materials were no longer being recycled, initiating limits on cotton products to two sets per person.

When it was their turn, each could only buy two sets. They couldn’t even buy for Lu Jianguo since they didn’t share a residence permit with him.

They had hoped to use this opportunity to take out more clothes, but plans often change faster than situations. They would have to wait until the next opportunity to go out.

After they had finished shopping, they thought maybe the fresh produce area might have some good stuff, so they headed that way.

Just as they turned the corner, they saw the vendor who had flattered Song Xiner crying dramatically with an embrace from a bald middle-aged man. It might be a scene inappropriate for children to others who then left, but Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng did not leave; indeed, they wanted to watch the drama unfold.

The vendor cried as she spoke to the man, “Director, I know I was wrong, I’ll work hard in the future, please, can’t you just not fire me?”

The middle-aged bald man caressed her face, “Dear, wait a bit longer, I’ll find a way to get you back. It’s tight with the inspection above right now, I can’t do much.”

Perhaps because Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng watched too openly and with clear intent, the comforting couple felt something was off and looked their way.

Seeing the two, the vendor vented her frustration, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen people talk before?”

Gu Pan laughed, “We’ve seen, but you’re more interesting.”

The vendor reacted as if stepped on, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to laugh at me just because I made you uncomfortable before? Do you even see who I’m with?”

Gu Pan continued to smile, “Judging by the age, is he perhaps your father?”

This not only embarrassed the vendor but also the bald director who became agitated, “How can a woman talk so rudely?”

Lu Ruisheng said, “If you act disgracefully, don’t be afraid of hearing disgraceful words. Why doesn’t my wife complain about others? Maybe you should reflect on that.”

Listening to her husband’s clichéd words, Gu Pan barely held back her laughter. Where on earth had he learned these phrases? They were quite infuriating.

The bald director was annoyed, “Have you no manners? How could you interrupt others? Take advantage of my current reluctance to deal with you and get lost.”

He also worried that causing a scene would attract people; if his wife knew, he would be in trouble.

Gu Pan frowned at him, “We don’t partake in your strange behaviors. You might prefer to scram, but we prefer to walk away. Perhaps that’s the difference between humans like us and whatever you are.”

The bald director was really infuriated, “Do you know who I am? I’m the store director. Do you think opposing me will benefit you?”

Gu Pan couldn’t suppress her laughter and laughed outright, “We were thinking of reporting you before and weren’t sure of your position. Now that you’ve revealed yourself, that’s good; we like colluding with corrupt elements. Don’t worry, I know the Base Commander, reporting you wouldn’t need much process, and you should expect your punishment soon. Just wait for the good news.”
