Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 625: Trick Liu into coming online (1)

Liu Jingxue didn't plan to fight alone. She looked at the old lady watching the show and called for help.

"Auntie, if your son brings his comrades home and you invite him to dinner, and he tells you that he doesn't want to take advantage of the common people, would you be angry?"

"Angry, then you must be angry.

Since I'm at my comrade's house, I'm at my own home. It hurts our feelings to talk about ordinary people or not.”

"Comrade, if you bring your comrade home and invite him to dinner, but he refuses to eat, will you be angry?"

The wounded man on the hospital bed watched the fun and added fuel to the fire, "He must be angry. What kind of comrade is this? He must be treating me as an outsider."

With the support of the two, Liu Jingxue seemed to have someone backing her up. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Ma, raising her head slightly. "Comrade Ma, you heard it too. Everyone thinks you did something wrong."

At this point, Liu Jingxue felt that it was a bit inappropriate to keep calling everyone Comrade Ma, so she said, "Then I won't call you Comrade Ma anymore. You are my brother's comrade-in-arms, so I'll call you brother too."

“Brother Ma, let’s not talk about the comradeship between you and my second brother, let’s talk about something else.

Even if you and my second brother are not comrades-in-arms, if you help me take care of my second brother, do that mean I won't even care about his meals?

In the countryside, when you hire someone for help, regardless of whether or not you should pay them, you must provide them with food.”

"Auntie, do you think what I said is right?" Liu Jingxue called for external help again.

The lady clapped her hands and laughed, “What the little girl said is right.

Even though we country folks may not have much knowledge or culture, sometimes we country folks are more practical than city folks in doing things.

In the countryside, even if your family is going through a hard time, if you ask someone for help, you will definitely give them enough food to eat.”

Liu Jingxue spread her hands and said to Xiao Ma, "Brother Ma, you heard it too.

Whether you think of this as having a meal at a comrade's house, or as you helping my family and I providing you with meals, you are guaranteed to have this meal.

And it's not just tonight's meal. I will cover your three meals a day for every day you help here.

As for wages, I won't give you any, lest you say that I have destroyed the comradeship between you and my second brother."

Seeing that Xiao Ma was still standing there in a daze, Liu Jingxue grabbed his sleeve and pulled him over.

“I needed to eat too, so I just brought yours out, it wasn’t difficult.

Besides, if you don’t accept it, how can I let you continue to help take care of my second brother?

Although he is my cousin, there are differences between men and women after all, and there are some things that I cannot handle.

Just take pity on your disabled comrade and take care of him here just like you did when I wasn't here."

The old lady advised, "Xiao Ma, just listen to Comrade Liu and eat your meal in peace.

She is a little girl and some things are really inconvenient for her.

Not to mention anything else, even if they are brother and sister, she can't do something like wiping your captain's body.

Not to mention that after he woke up and took off the urine bag, your captain was unable to move around easily, so someone had to help him go to the toilet.

She is just a little girl, how can you, the captain, order her around?"

"Don't even mention that they are siblings. Look at my son. When he wants to go to the toilet, he would rather ask you for help than ask an old woman like me.

Besides, you have to keep watch here at night, and she is a little girl, and it is inconvenient for her to stay here if there are outsiders in the ward."

Liu Jingxue took the opportunity to play the victim, "Brother Ma, please take pity on us brothers and sisters, and accept my food. Just stay here and help me."

Xiao Ma scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that his simple two sentences would cause such reactions from the other three people in the ward.

"Well, thank you very much, Comrade Liu."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Liu Jingxue quickly stuffed a lunch box into Xiao Ma's hand and said, "This box is for your food, and the rice is in the big bowl.

That big bowl is for both of us, I only need a small bowl, the rest is yours."

Xiao Ma looked at the chicken soup. He had been feeding the captain liquid food for every meal these days. He knew that the captain could drink the chicken soup, so he said,

"Then I'll feed the captain some chicken soup before we eat."

Liu Jingxue shook her head, "No, by the time you finish feeding him, the food will be cold, so you should wait until you finish eating before feeding him.

I prepared millet porridge with ginseng chicken soup for him. It is warming up with boiling water. It will not cool down in a while. "

After Liu Jingxue finished speaking, she picked up the dishes and chicken soup prepared for the next room and put them on the low cabinet next to the bed.

"Ma'am, this is for you.

Don't refuse it quickly. This is ginseng chicken soup, which is good for the patient's recovery.

Even for your son, you have to accept it."

The old lady wanted to refuse it at first, but she didn't see that the dish was made of bacon and chicken soup. She didn't want to receive anything without doing anything, so how could she take someone else's things?

But when she heard that it would be good for the patient, she hesitated. But she was too embarrassed to just take it.

"Little girl, you are too polite. You are making me feel at a loss as to what to do."

"Auntie, why are you being so polite? Your son and my second brother are comrades-in-arms, and we are lucky enough to live in the same ward. This is a rare fate.

These are all things I brought from home, they didn’t cost me any money, please don’t be disgusted.”

Liu Jingxue was impatient with the pushing and shoving, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Auntie, you should hurry to the canteen to get some food. Eat it while it's still hot."

The old lady agreed and quickly went to get the money and lunch box. "Then I'll wash the bowl and return it to you later."

"Row."

After Liu Jingxue came back and served herself a bowl of rice, she said to Xiao Ma, "Brother Ma, you can eat the rest of the rice.

I have only one bowl of rice and one bowl of soup, so I don't need to get more rice."

I have to say that people in the army eat fast. Before Liu Jingxue finished her meal, Xiao Ma had already finished his meal and went to feed Liu Jianjun ginseng chicken porridge.

After finishing her meal, Liu Jingxue looked at the untouched chicken soup, poured herself a bowl and asked Xiao Ma,

"Brother Ma, why don't you drink the soup?"

“I was so full from all the food that I couldn’t even drink the chicken soup.

Besides, that is ginseng chicken soup, very nourishing. I am a strong young man, I don't need to take any tonic, I'd better save it for the captain."

Liu Jingxue knew that Xiao Ma was not unable to drink it. He just wanted to keep the good stuff for his captain to nourish his body.

"Brother Ma, it's best not to drink this ginseng chicken soup overnight, as the nutrients will be lost.

As for the second brother, that bowl of porridge was enough and he couldn't drink any more.

If you don't drink it, it will be wasted."

Xiao Ma scratched his head, "I see, I don't know."

But he still felt that this was such a good thing and he was fine, so he didn't need to take any supplements.

He asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Comrade Liu, to avoid waste, can I share this chicken soup with my comrades in other wards?"

After saying that, he lowered his head, feeling ashamed of his request.

But it would be a waste if he eats such a good thing, so we should leave it for people who need it more.

After listening to him, Liu Jingxue, who guessed his thoughts, felt warm in her heart and smiled, "Of course.

Then I will add more water when I make soup next time, and you can help me share it with others."

"Thank you, Comrade Liu."

Xiao Ma stopped feeding Liu Jianjun porridge and asked Liu Jingxue, "Comrade Liu, do you still want to drink the chicken soup?"

Liu Jingxue tapped the bowl in her hand and said, "This bowl is enough for me. You can share it with the others."

"Good."

Xiao Ma put down the porridge in his hand, came over with the big bowl of chicken soup, walked out of the ward, and went to another ward. Not long after, he came back with an empty bowl, with a smile on his face.

"Comrade Liu, take your time drinking. Wait until I finish feeding the captain the porridge and I'll wash the dishes.

Please don't be polite to me, or I'll be embarrassed."

Liu Jingxue understood what he meant. If she didn't let him do something, he might feel uneasy. She didn't refuse and said, "Okay, I'll leave the dishes for you to wash."

Seeing that Liu Jingxue agreed, Xiao Ma's face was full of smiles again.
