Chapter 1350: Begging for Chicken Soup

The husband and wife exchanged a glance after hearing the full story, and Liu Chuxue spoke: "Then what are we waiting for? It's just that we don't have any bowls here."

Director Du turned and ran toward the canteen's back kitchen: "I'll go get them right away."

The man who had come with him looked deeply grateful, bowing once to each of the couple: "Thank you, thank you."

As he spoke, he took out money and coupons from his pocket, directly handing over one meat coupon and five yuan.

Liu Chuxue quickly spoke up to decline: "It's just one bowl of chicken soup; it doesn't require so much."

But the man insisted on giving it no matter what; after several rounds of back-and-forth, Liu Chuxue finally accepted one meat coupon and two yuan.

Director Du returned at that moment, carrying the items: "Fu Ying, Comrade Xiao, thank you. If you need my help later, just say the word."

Liu Chuxue didn't delay; she took a lunch box, grabbed the large ladle from Director Du's hand, filled one for the man, and handed it over.

After a few pleasantries, Director Du and that man hurriedly left.

Liu Chuxue looked at the two lunch boxes Director Du had left behind: "I'll pour the chicken soup into the lunch boxes, wash the clay pot and the ladle, return them, and then we'll leave."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded gently: "Good."

Liu Chuxue moved efficiently, washed the items, found someone to return them, and only then walked back with Fu Yan Cheng.

Fu Yan Cheng took the two lunch boxes: "I'll carry them."

Liu Chuxue didn't argue with him; mainly, she felt a bit like vomiting at that moment, but she didn't want Fu Yan Cheng to worry, so she secretly held a piece of candied fruit in her mouth.

Not long after they returned to the ward, Tao Saozi came looking for them, holding the child.

Seeing her approach, Liu Chuxue quickly stood up: "Sister-in-law, how is the child?"

Tao Saozi nodded at Fu Yan Cheng: "The fever has gone down. The doctor prescribed medicine and said to observe at home."

After speaking, she looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "How is Fu Ying's injury?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Tao was still on disaster relief duty; Fu Yan Cheng didn't want Tao Saozi to worry: "It's nothing serious; a few days of rest will do. Before I came back, I saw Deputy Battalion Commander Tao, and he is doing fine; no need to worry."

Hearing this, Tao Saozi looked extremely excited: "That's good, that's good. I won't disturb you; I'll take the child back first."

After the person left, Liu Chuxue said to Fu Yan Cheng: "I'll go call the nurse to have her treat your wound again. By then, the chicken soup won't be so hot, and it will be just right to eat."

As she spoke, she turned and left the ward.

Earlier, due to the urgency and having walked so far, the wound was indeed uncomfortable, so he didn't stop Liu Chuxue.

The nurse was easy to talk to; after coming over and efficiently helping with the treatment, she added: "If you need anything, just call me."

After thanking the person, Liu Chuxue opened one of the lunch boxes, held her breath, and secretly added some space spring water to it; only then did she walk over to Fu Yan Cheng and hand it to him: "The temperature is just right; eat quickly."

Originally, she had intended to add space spring water to the clay pot, but fortunately she stopped herself at the last moment, thinking the aroma might attract unnecessary trouble, especially since there were already quite a few people getting food in the canteen at that time.

Fu Yan Cheng took the lunch box: "Wife, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I was almost dizzy from the smell even without eating; you should eat quickly too."

The staple food was the steamed buns they had bought earlier at the canteen.

Fu Yan Cheng saw that Liu Chuxue wasn't moving anymore: "Wife, you eat too."

Smelling the chicken soup, Liu Chuxue still felt somewhat uncomfortable: "You drink first; I'll go wash my hands."

Fu Yan Cheng frowned slightly: "Wife, are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Chuxue didn't want him to worry and quickly waved her hand: "No way; I just need to use the restroom. You eat quickly, and as soon as you're done, lie down on the bed to rest."
