Chapter 51: Qin Lan (Seeking recommendations, seeking favorites)
As usual, Chen Xin was eating his meal, but today he treated himself to a can of pork, as a little improvement to his diet.
While eating, he was chatting with Mo Qingyan through the shortwave radio placed on the side, discussing matters related to supplies.
After a month of gathering, Mo Qingyan had already obtained all the supplies Chen Xin needed through Uncle Ding’s connections, and Uncle Ding also agreed to Chen Xin’s installment payment terms. These supplies had now been delivered to Mo Qingyan.
"The ingredients, should I deliver them to you tomorrow, or will you come over to pick them up?" Mo Qingyan seemed to be eating as well, as even through the radio, Chen Xin could hear Mo Qingxin and Ding Ning’s squabbling over food.
However, this didn’t disrupt Chen Xin’s thoughts, and without much consideration, he replied, "You help bring them over. My vehicle can’t carry that much stuff anyway, and you can also take this month’s vegetables."
Mo Qingyan found nothing unusual in Chen Xin’s choice and agreed readily.
"It was really hard on you to gather this batch of supplies so quickly, thank you, Dragon Maiden." Chen Xin was genuinely grateful to Mo Qingyan for her help. Although their relationship was indeed very good, a thank you was still necessary.
"Saying such things is too formal. Besides, Uncle Ding was the main one who helped with the supplies, I only passed on the message for you." Mo Qingyan responded as straightforwardly as usual but also reminded Chen Xin, "Though Uncle Ding agreed to your request to complete the rest of the supplies next month, he asked to send someone to see you, saying he wants to confirm whether you can afford so many supplies... Ah Xin, what do you think about this matter?"
"How do I think about it? How can I think about it? Either I sit and think or stand and think, unless I lie down and think?" Chen Xin joked, but he understood the implication in Mo Qingyan’s words, becoming wary.
