Chapter 234 I'm so proud of him, how could I possibly harbor resentment?
"That sticky stuff is blood!"
Qiao Manman's words struck the leaders like a hammer blow. They were all shocked and felt ashamed.
Brigade Commander He said, "How dare you leave Battalion Commander Lu here? Get him to the hospital immediately!"
Qiao Manman calmly covered him with a blanket: "They're just superficial injuries, so we won't take up precious medical resources. I brought some medicine from home, and I've already given it to Lu Yuan."
"Medicine? Oh, right, your frostbite cream is even better than the ones we bought from the military hospital!"
Although the leaders said this, they dared not take it lightly: "Comrade Xiao Qiao, you must keep a close eye on Battalion Commander Lu's situation."
If anything goes wrong, report it to the gatekeeper. Our unit has a vehicle; we can get Battalion Commander Lu to the hospital as quickly as possible!
"Okay, thank you, boss!"
"These are the nutritional supplements we brought for Battalion Commander Lu. Comrade Xiao Qiao, please make some for him when you have some free time."
Qiao Manman walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, and a fragrant aroma of rice wafted out: "Thank you for your concern, leader. It's cold outside, have a bowl of rice soup before you go!"
The leaders wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the rice was so strong that they couldn't bear to leave.
I reluctantly picked up the bowl and took a small sip. I thought I'd just have a tiny taste, but before I knew it, I'd finished half the pot of rice porridge.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, I'm so sorry, we..."
"It's alright, Lu Yuan won't wake up for a while, I'll make it for him again!"
"Alright then, you go ahead with your work, we'll head back now!"
Qiao Manman saw the leaders off, and after they had gone far away, she put the rice porridge with the Tongxin Dan into her spatial storage.
He took out a bottle of warm water, put a small amount of Rejuvenation Pill (about the size of a mung bean) into it, shook it, and fed it to Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, open your mouth, drink the medicine, and then go to sleep!"
Qiao Manman thought it would be difficult to operate, but to her surprise, Lu Yuan was quite cooperative.
After gulping down half the bottle, Qiao Manman put him down and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth. Just then, the system said, "The female lead is back. Host, be careful!"
"okay, I get it!"
Qiao Manman went to the living room to check the gifts the leaders had brought. There was a bag of milk powder, ten kilograms of rice, two kilograms of pork, and some red dates.
Qiao Manman froze the pork outside and put the rest of the food into the kitchen.
Just as she finished setting it up, there was a knock at the door. Qiao Manman went to open it and wasn't surprised to see Meng Peiyu.
"Sister-in-law Chen!" Qiao Manman blocked the doorway, preventing the female lead from entering: "Lu Yuan is seriously injured, and it's not convenient for the family to entertain outsiders. I'll invite you and Commander Chen to our home after he recovers!"
"Alright!" Meng Peiyu didn't insist, and handed a frozen chicken to Qiao Manman: "This is a small token of our appreciation from Junyan and me..."
I feel quite guilty, because if it weren't for me, Junyan would have been the one injured. Battalion Commander Lu suffered an undeserved misfortune!
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to say that. Lu Yuan is a soldier, and carrying out missions is his duty."
Besides, the fact that he led his team to successfully complete such a difficult mission is a testament to both his skill and luck. I'm so proud of him, how could I possibly harbor any resentment?
"I won't accept this chicken. The leader came to visit Lu Yuan and brought us some meat. It's the New Year, you should take it back and eat it with Commander Chen!"
We have them, so please accept them!
"It's really not necessary!"
Seeing the two women pushing it back and forth, Chen Junyan said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, just accept it. Pei Yu knew Lu Yuan before, and we're like brothers."
Since things have come to this point, it would be unreasonable for Qiao Manman not to accept it.
"Then thank you both for your kindness!"
"Alright, we won't bother you any longer. You should get some rest!"
Qiao Manman stared at the dark, frozen chicken in her hand without saying a word. She watched the two walk away from the balcony, then with a flick of her wrist, she stored the frozen chicken in her spatial storage.
Take out the piece of salted meat, cut off a thin slice, and feed it to the experimental chicken.
The big hen was no longer as lively as before; it listlessly pecked at a couple of mouthfuls of salted meat and then lay back down.
"Tongtong, has it laid any eggs in the last couple of days?"
"No, host!"
Qiao Manman patted the big spotted hen's head: "You've worked hard. Once this is all over, I'll definitely feed you the finest delicacies and give you a proper send-off!"
"Host, you... are pretty great!"
Qiao Manman chuckled, pretending not to notice the system's hesitant words, and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then she turned off the lights and lay down next to Lu Yuan.
Listening to his steady breathing, my heart gradually calmed down. I closed my eyes, ladled out the chicken soup and millet porridge from the villa's kitchen, and placed them in a still space.
After watching a video about making fertility pills for a while, Qiao Manman fell into a deep sleep.
She slept soundly through the night. As the morning sunlight streamed onto the windowsill, Qiao Manman opened her eyes when the alarm rang.
Finding herself in Lu Yuan's arms, she stirred and looked up to meet a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Wife, I'm back!" Lu Yuan tightened his arms around her, bringing them very close.
Qiao Manman raised her hand and gently poked his chest: "You've made yourself look so disheveled, don't you know there are people waiting for you at home?"
Lu Yuan sighed and nuzzled his head against Qiao Manman's neck. In their line of work, life and death are rarely in their own hands.
He wanted to say that if something really happened to him one day, he should tell Qiao Manman not to stay with him, but to find a good man and remarry.
The words rolled on his lips several times, but he couldn't bring himself to say them. Lu Yuan felt he couldn't accept that situation.
"I really almost didn't make it back!"
"I see you're quite capable!" Qiao Manman lifted Lu Yuan's left hand, gesturing for him to look at his wrist: "Ten peace talismans, ten lucky talismans, ten indestructible talismans, and ten invisibility talismans have all been squandered. What, did you emerge from a hail of bullets?"
"Absolutely! If I didn't have these talismans, I would have been riddled with bullets on the spot! Honey, you have no idea how fierce their firepower is!"
Qiao Manman frowned: "What do you mean? You wiped out an armed group? You went to the border?"
Lu Yuan interrupted, "Don't ask, you can't tell me!"
Qiao Manman sighed, exchanged the talisman for him again, made it into a red string, and tied it to his wrist.
Finally, one of the ropes was crushed, and the red rope vanished instantly. You could touch it, but you couldn't see it. It didn't affect your training.
"Here, this is a teleportation talisman. If you are in danger and want to return to my side, just crush one of them."
Qiao Manman took out a string of beads and put it on Lu Yuan's wrist. She used the same method again, concealing the beads so they would reappear when needed.
Lu Yuan understood immediately: "So, if you crush the other half, can you come to my side?"
"Yes!" Qiao Manman said with a smile, "Put these two red ones in the wardrobe. If the timing isn't right, and you're not sure if I'll be around, just crush them and let the beads carry you home!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "I really married a fairy!"
Qiao Manman patted his shoulder: "Go wash up! Your mouth tastes bad. I've managed to hold on until now without throwing up because of my good willpower!"
Lu Yuan chuckled as he stood up, only to find himself wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. He glanced at Qiao Manman with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.
