Qiao Qingqing was genuinely happy for Lanfang. After all, it was clear that she and Comrade Zhuang Xiaobai were interested in each other, but their progress had been agonizingly slow due to their reserved personalities. To celebrate her friend being with the one she loved, Qiao Qingqing added an extra dish of poached eggs with leeks, frying up ten eggs in total.
Once they had finished eating, Qiao Qingqing went to the room she usually used as a storage space and brought out two large bags of dried seafood. Her heart ached faintly. *Damn you, Qiao Chuan! If it weren't for your report, I wouldn't have had to give away these two big bags of goods!* Now, to prove her innocence and provide a justification for Battalion Commander Fu and the others who had helped her, she had no choice but to donate these goods to the military, just as she had claimed at the Revolutionary Committee that morning.
"Squad Leader Qi, this dried seafood is what I’ve collected from the brigade over the past few times. Take it back with you; consider it my donation to the military. If it weren't for your help today, I don't even know what might have happened to me... I hope the Regimental Commander can accept this small token."
