Chapter 1527: Chapter 1527: Company-Level Treatment 5

Feng Qingxue had absolutely no idea about the conversation between Su Meixiang and them. Of course, even if she had overheard everything, she wouldn’t care much. She wasn’t money nor a grain ticket; not everyone would love her.

Buying soy sauce was just her excuse to explore the military compound’s layout, and naturally, she walked into the military service shop to turn her excuse into reality. However, upon seeing the bulk soy sauce barrel with a layer of maggots floating on top due to the hot weather—white, tiny, and wriggling—her stomach churned. She quickly said, "Give me a bottle of premium soy sauce, not the bulk soy sauce."

The shopkeeper, Xiaoxu, who had a naturally round face, responded cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, bulk soy sauce is eight cents per pound, first-grade soy sauce is twenty-three cents, and premium soy sauce is twenty-nine cents. Do you still want the premium soy sauce? If you dislike the maggots in the bulk soy sauce, I can filter it out for you. Soy sauce is made from grains, and maggots appearing in hot weather is normal—it’s not dirty."

"I’ll stick with the premium soy sauce!" At least she couldn’t see any maggots inside the glass bottle.

Liu Ran interjected, "Xu Jianguo, if sister-in-law asks for premium soy sauce, just get it for her. Why all the chatter? Sister-in-law, is there anything else you need? The leader has been quite busy, and the weather’s so hot that some supplies weren’t adequately prepared."

"Yes, sister-in-law, take a look and see if there are any other necessities," Xu Jianguo quickly placed a bottle of premium soy sauce on the counter.

Feng Qingxue thought for a moment before shaking her head directly. She pulled out thirty cents and placed it on the counter, "There’s nothing else I need for now. If I need anything, I’ll come by again. Thank you, Xiaoxu."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Xu Jianguo quickly gave her one cent in change.

On the way home, Liu Ran continued introducing the places he hadn’t had the chance to cover. "The school isn’t far from Sister-in-law’s house—it’s just a few minutes’ walk. The leader has already looked into it, and transferring Fubao shouldn’t be a problem. As for the triplets, they’re still too young; the kindergarten doesn’t really want to take them. They could go to the daycare for full-day care; there are many kids around their age there. No one would dare bully the triplets."

Everyone had common sense—Lu Jiang’s rank was evident wherever he went. No matter how approachable he was, his high position and authority couldn’t be concealed. Who would dare mistreat his sons? That would be like courting death.

"Let me think about it." She was considering hiring a nanny to handle the housework, with Wang Cuilan helping to watch over the kids.

Feng Qingxue was already regretting her earlier plan. At the time, she spoke casually, but now that she thought it through, sending the kids to the kindergarten or daycare wasn’t a great choice. Her eldest son and daughter had started school relatively late, and she didn’t want the triplets to harbor resentment about being neglected at such a young age because of her job.

Liu Ran was unaware of her thoughts and continued, "As for the hospital, there’s really no need for me to introduce it, right? I wouldn’t even know where to begin the explanation. Once sister-in-law starts working there, you’ll naturally understand what it’s like."

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "This is enough. Thank you, Comrade Liu Ran."

"No need to thank me, no need at all!" Liu Ran was visibly cheerful. It was a relief not to deal with an arrogant leader’s wife. In the security battalion, there was a comrade assigned to protect a leader whose wife was infamously difficult—it was truly hard to put into words.

By the time Liu Ran accompanied Feng Qingxue back home, it was almost eleven o’clock. Feng Qingxue invited him to stay for lunch.

Liu Ran waved it off, saying, "Sister-in-law, I’ll eat at the cafeteria. We have rules about this."

With that, he darted off in a flash.

Feng Qingxue, trying to grab some food to give him, was too late. She couldn’t help but chuckle—a smooth yet honest man, with a righteous air about him. He was truly a good escort soldier. Lu Jiang was lucky; she had yet to encounter a single bad escort soldier.
