Chapter 67 : Please call me Comrade Shen, I don’t have a sister

Shen He was completely focused on his wife, and the others were not in his sight at all.

Seeing that Su Ranran had stopped, he also came to a halt.

“What’s wrong?”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on her belly, concerned that the baby might be making her uncomfortable again.

“It’s okay,” Su Ranran shook her head and walked directly into the hospital gate.

She completely ignored the hostile look, as if she didn’t take the newcomer seriously at all.

Being ignored, Liu Meng’s face turned black!

Unwilling to accept it, she shouted at the tall figure impulsively.

“Brother Shen He!”

Hearing someone calling him, Shen He stopped and saw a female comrade walking towards him with a smile.

“Who are you?”

He frowned slightly, noticing the unfamiliar face in front of him.

“My brother-in-law is Yan Yixing. I work in this hospital. What do you need, Brother Shen He? I can take you there.”

As she spoke, her eyes lingered greedily on his handsome face. With sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a gallbladder-shaped nose, and a face with sharp, firm lines, his intimidating eyes made him look both handsome and commanding.

Just standing there, he made people’s hearts tremble.

Being stared at like that, Shen He’s eyes flashed with a trace of impatience.  His serious expression grew even more imposing.

Under his sharp gaze, Liu Meng’s head suddenly cleared up.

Shen He spoke with no expression “No need to trouble. Also, please call me Comrade Shen. I don’t have a sister.”

After that, he led Su Ranran away without another word, as if staying even a second longer would be a waste of time.

Liu Meng didn’t expect that after finally gathering the courage to call him, this was the result.

Feeling the mocking stares from those around her, her face turned a ghastly shade of green and white, a very ugly expression.

Su Ranran, who hadn’t said a word throughout the whole exchange, simply watched as her man caused the female comrade to lose face.

Though it wasn’t the first time she’d seen him give a cold shoulder to female comrades, Su Ranran couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile. She admitted that she was a bit petty, but she felt a certain satisfaction seeing him ignore other female comrades!

That good mood lasted until they left the hospital gate, and the smile on Su Ranran’s face never faded.

After the examination, both the fetus in her belly and her own physical condition were in excellent shape.

The doctor also assured her that a proper labor wouldn’t affect anything.

Now, Su Ranran felt completely at ease.

“Let’s go, let’s go buy vegetables quickly.” With supplies in short supply these days, she was afraid they’d be sold out if they went too late.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Xiao Meng to bring us meat and rice noodles. What else do you want to buy?”

Meat was the most scarce, and Shen He had already told Meng Shun yesterday.

“Let’s go take a look first, then decide what to buy.”

Meat is a must for treating guests, but on its own, it’s too monotonous. The problem is, everything is in short supply in this era. It’s not like she can just buy whatever ingredients she wants to cook. She’ll have to decide what to make based on what she can get.

“Don’t make it too complicated, don’t get tired.”

Shen He didn’t want her to work too hard, as treating guests was more of a formality.

“I know what’s going on. Don’t worry.”

How could she not understand what he was thinking? If she invited someone to her house for dinner, it meant they must have a good relationship. She wouldn’t just be perfunctory.

The two of them walked toward the vegetable market again.

First, they went to the meat stall and found that most of the meat had already been sold. Only some large bones were left, and no one was interested in pig ears or pig offal.

But it was understandable. After all, there was not only a shortage of money but also ration tickets these days.

People were always short on oil and water, and a good meal of meat wasn’t easy to come by. Who wouldn’t want to buy some greasy fat? Who would be willing to spend money on less desirable parts?

But for Su Ranran, these were all good things.

In her previous life, she had lived alone for a long time. To keep from overthinking, she learned many things.

Cooking was the skill that made her feel most fulfilled.

She could make even a simple fish soup taste delicious.

“Comrade, are you sure you want these?”

The butcher noticed that she was about to take all the leftover items that were hard to sell, and he almost dropped his jaw in surprise.

Fearing she might not be able to make the decision, he turned to ask the man in military uniform next to her.

Although Shen He was a bit surprised that she would buy these things, he wouldn’t interfere with her choices.

“We want everything she said.”

Hearing this, the butcher stopped questioning and happily packed the pork bones, pig offal, and pig ears for them.

Su Ranran then went to a grocery store to buy some seasonings and spices.

Finally, she went to the vegetable stand to buy some vegetables.After all, their own vegetables had just been planted and wouldn’t be ready for harvest for another ten days or half a month.

When they came out again, Shen He had a bulging bag in each hand.

Meng Shun and the other man were waiting by the car. As soon as they saw the deputy head of the regiment carrying two big bags, they were startled.

They didn’t dare to linger, so they quickly ran forward to take the bags. They were men used to carrying dozens of kilograms of weight for training, so these two bags weren’t a big deal for them.

However, they were extremely curious about what Su Ranran had bought. But even though they were curious, they dared not ask.

The journey back to the city was uneventful, and they didn’t encounter any strange people.

Su Ranran even forgot about Qi Xiunian, who had appeared unexpectedly on Pingzhou Island.

Meng Shun and Chen Weidong drove the military car directly to the gate of the family compound. Without waiting for Shen He to speak, they moved all the items from the car to the deputy commander’s house.

“Thank you for your hard work. You must come for dinner in the afternoon,” Su Ranran said with gratitude.

Meng Shun, who had finally seen his sister-in-law’s face, blushed and forgot to say no.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged away by this “iron fool,” Chen Weidong suddenly became anxious.

Just as he was about to drag him off, he heard Shen He say, “Both of you come in the afternoon.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Hearing him speak, the two of them saluted reflexively!

When Chen Weidong realized what had happened, he was on the verge of tears. He didn’t know whether to feel happy or frightened.

Once the two left, Zhong Juhua brought two military wives to the door.

One of them was Zhou Huaqin, whom Su Ranran had met on the first day of the boat. Seven or eight children were with them.

“Ranran, we were afraid you’d be too busy, so we came to help you,” Zhong Juhua said.

Zhong Juhua and Lin Qiulian were both familiar with Su Ranran and often came to visit. As soon as they entered the door, they helped with picking and washing the vegetables.

Zhou Huaqin was visiting Su Ranran’s house for the first time. Although the houses in the entire family compound were the same, the interior furnishings were still different.

She first took a tour and then went to the kitchen to help. But before she could do anything, she saw Su Ranran holding a bunch of black things.

“What is this? Why is it so disgusting?”
