Chapter 628: Heartache

Physician Zhao frowned slightly as he looked at Liu Chuxue; she hadn't expected Fu Yan Cheng's fiancée to be so beautiful, and just that flawless skin was something others couldn't match.

Originally, she had intended to introduce her niece to Fu Yan Cheng, but now it seemed fortunate she never got the chance; she lightly brushed aside the stray hairs by her face: "His injury looks quite terrifying, but it hasn't damaged his internal organs; however, the area of the blast burn is too large, so infection must be absolutely avoided to prevent other complications."

"Additionally, after he wakes up, he cannot lie on his stomach for long periods; he needs to be turned over regularly, perform deep breathing and effective coughing to promote the discharge of phlegm and prevent lung infections."

Liu Chuxue listened very attentively: "Are there any dietary restrictions during this time?"

Seeing her ask so carefully, Physician Zhao's impression of this Miss improved considerably; after all, if it were his own niece, she might not be this meticulous: "Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Try to make him nutritious meals; eggs, lean meat, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables can all promote wound healing."

Actually, it was much the same as what she already knew, but to be safe, she asked anyway; after all, she didn't understand medicine, and if she overlooked something, it would be unpleasant.

After asking a few more questions about nursing care, she finally left.

As soon as she came out, she saw Guo Zhanrong standing there: "Little Guo, do you know where to buy ingredients? Also, does the military hospital have a place for cooking?"

Hearing this, Guo Zhanrong felt a surge of joy: "Comrade Liu, the army has a soldiers' service center where things are quite complete; furthermore, the sisters also go to surrounding villages to exchange goods with villagers. The military hospital does provide cooking stoves, but you must pay ten cents for fuel each time."

Liu Chuxue knew what she wanted to know: "You just heard; to help your Deputy Battalion Commander recover quickly, the nutrition must keep up. I was thinking that while he hasn't woken up yet, I'll go buy some ingredients and stew some soup to nourish him."

Earlier, when she entered the ward, she had already checked; his fever had subsided, so presumably, once he has slept enough, he will wake up.

She now wanted to use the excuse of making soup to add some space pool water, so he would suffer less; thinking of him wrapped in bandages like a mummy and frowning even while unconscious, her heart ached terribly.

Although the space pool water couldn't produce immediate results, it could still lessen his pain.

Guo Zhanrong was happy for his Deputy Battalion Commander; he had seen many comrades' families before, all of whom tried to save whenever possible, but this one clearly genuinely liked the Deputy Battalion Commander, otherwise she wouldn't have immediately prepared to get ingredients to nourish him: "Comrade Liu, I will take you there right now."

The hospital was not far from the soldiers' service center, but they arrived a bit late; the meat and eggs were already gone, and only two crucian carp, each weighing less than one jin, remained in the basin on the ground: "Comrade, I'll take these two crucian carp."

The salesperson saw she wasn't holding a basket or similar item, so she tied the two fish together with a straw rope: "Comrade, one jin and six liang; five cents per jin without a ration ticket, totaling eight cents."

After buying tofu and seasonings, she was finally ready to head back.

But just as she reached the entrance, she saw aluminum lunch boxes for sale, so she bought two more, plus two pairs of chopsticks and a spoon, before leaving the service center.

Guo Zhanrong helped carry most of the items.

After returning to the hospital, Liu Chuxue, worried about Fu Yan Cheng, asked Guo Zhanrong to go to the ward first.

She went to the canteen to rent a stove, but upon asking, she learned that using the stove cost ten cents but no cookware was provided, which immediately made her worry.

There were some in the space, but what excuse could she use to take them out?
