Chapter 226: Tie Zhu, you have betrayed the trust of your teammates

"Going with me?" Chen Xun packed everything up. Fearing it would get cold, An Yinan wrapped it in oil paper, then wrapped a small cotton quilt around the outside.

Zhang Qian rubbed his stomach, "Let's go!"

After the two left, An Yinan began to tidy up the kitchen. She hadn't cooked much this time, so things weren't very messy, and there wasn't much to clean up.

She first washed the bowls and chopsticks clean, then swept the floor of the room, and that was about it for the cleaning.

For the remaining sheep skeleton, An Yinan chopped off the parts with meat, then chopped up the skeleton, put it into a large pot, added cold water, added green onion, ginger, garlic, and a little cooking wine, and then threw in a piece of wood.

When Chen Xun returned, he smelled the rich scent of mutton soup.

"You stewed mutton soup again?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan, who was reading, turned around and nodded, "Yes, otherwise the bones would go to waste, so I boiled some mutton soup."

"Send some to the dormitory later. Those new recruits are all too young. Mutton soup is nourishing; in such cold weather, I don't want them getting frostbite."

Chen Xun pursed his lips, the warmth in his eyes rising bit by bit.

She was always like this, taking care of everyone, yet doing so silently and unobtrusively, appearing with the most indifferent demeanor.

She never claimed credit, and didn't even show her face.

"Thank you." An Yinan turned her head in confusion, not understanding what he was thanking her for!

Chen Xun looked at her little expression, then smiled helplessly and went to the kitchen to prepare to clean up.

As it turned out, once he walked into the kitchen, it had already been cleaned very thoroughly.

"You don't need to do these chores tomorrow. I don't have anything to do when I come back at night anyway." Chen Xun sat down next to An Yinan and said in a low voice.

An Yinan waved her hand, "It was just convenient. If I keep staying like this, I'll almost become a rice weevil."

Chen Xun ruffled her hair, watching the young girl squint her eyes in satisfaction. Sometimes he really felt she was like a cat; as long as you walked toward her gently and carefully stroked her hair, she would reveal a satisfied smile.

"You go ahead and get busy, I have a mission report that I need to write in detail." Chen Xun poured a glass of water for An Yinan, then whispered a reminder.

An Yinan nodded and sat down at the desk as well, "I'm going to translate now, don't disturb me for the next three hours."

Chen Xun nodded dotingly, "Alright."

The two were busy with their own tasks, not even meeting each other's eyes, because An Yinan had already entered a state of translation, everything around her fading away, leaving only the rustling sound of her pen tip.

On the other side, after Wang Erhua returned home, she sneezed violently twice, her whole body feeling as if it had been dragged out of an ice cellar, her body shivering uncontrollably.

Having learned from the last experience, her daughter Dani stayed far away, fearing that her mother would vent her anger on her.

After Liu Tiezhu left Xiao Yuan, he went straight to the training ground, running ten kilometers in one go.

"Company Commander, the Secretary is looking for you." A soldier ran over, caught up to him, and said hurriedly.

Liu Tiezhu picked up the hat he had placed to the side, "I know, you go back to your work."

He put on his hat and came to the Secretary's office.

In the past, he wouldn't come even once in a year or two, but this year he had been here often; it hadn't even been a few months, and he had already come twice.

"Reporting." Liu Tiezhu straightened his clothes and then called out.

"Come in." The Secretary spoke.

Liu Tiezhu pushed open the door and saw the Chief and the Secretary. At this moment, both were sitting, looking at Liu Tiezhu as he entered the room.

"Tie Zhu, pull up a stool and sit." The Secretary was smiling happily, still looking like a smiling tiger.

Mo Kun's expression was not good. He hadn't expected that some people had hands too long, actually reaching into the Military!

"No need, Chief, Secretary. My family matters have caused a scene in the Military again, it's my..." Liu Tiezhu hadn't finished speaking.

Mo Kun spoke up, "Stop dawdling. If you're told to pull up a stool, then pull up a stool."

Liu Tiezhu hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, "Yes."

"Haha, it still takes the old Chief to keep you all in line." The Secretary laughed happily, but no one knew what he was thinking inside.

Liu Tiezhu pulled up a stool and sat nervously at one side of the table, looking at the two old Leaders.

The Secretary looked at Mo Kun, then looked at Liu Tiezhu.

"Tie Zhu, you are a veteran. Your family's Comrade Wang Erhua is truly unreasonable this time." The Secretary thought about everything he saw today; it seemed the Literacy Class of these past few months had no effect!

Liu Tiezhu was just about to stand up when he was pressed down by Mo Kun.

"We brought you here this time to have a chat. Things can't go on like this. Comrade An is not one to hold a grudge, but if she were to start holding a grudge, let alone us not being able to protect Wang Erhua, I'm afraid we won't be able to protect you either." Mo Kun sighed.

Liu Tiezhu was an upright person with a straightforward nature; he didn't know how he ended up marrying Wang Erhua.

"Chief, Secretary, I will go talk to Battalion Commander Chen, I will apologize." Liu Tiezhu thought that it was difficult to answer to Chen Xun.

Mo Kun stood up and stretched his arms, "When a person gets old, their arms and legs aren't flexible anymore."

The Secretary nodded, "That's for sure."

Neither of them responded to Liu Tiezhu's words.

But Mo Kun didn't say anything more and left the Secretary's office.

The Secretary looked at Liu Tiezhu, "You are muddled!"

Liu Tiezhu looked at the Secretary, not understanding.

The Secretary sighed, "Do you really think it's Chen Xun who is holding a grudge against you?"

"What kind of temperament does Chen Xun have? At worst, he'd find an excuse to beat you up, and that would be the end of it."

Liu Tiezhu thought of the last time, the scene where Battalion Commander Chen took him for combat training.

"Then what is it for?" Liu Tiezhu still didn't understand.

The Secretary pointed at Liu Tiezhu, "Do you know whose formula provided the Hemostatic Medicine that you all need to collect when you go on missions now?"

Liu Tiezhu widened his eyes. This Hemostatic Medicine had saved too many lives. As long as they were soldiers, everyone regarded the person who researched this Hemostatic Medicine as a benefactor; the Hemostatic Medicine had given many people a second life.

Liu Tiezhu thought of the time when Chen Xun was injured, when a group of people suddenly arrived, supposedly people from the Research Institute.

And that group of people all took Chen Xun's wife as their lead.

"This medicine, is it Comrade An...?"

The Secretary nodded affirmatively, "The formula was provided by Comrade An, and the efficacy has been tested by the central leaders and the Military District Headquarters; now, whenever you go out on missions, it will be equipped."

"Do you still think now that Comrade An is just Chen Xun's wife?"

"Tie Zhu, you have betrayed the trust of your teammate."

Cold sweat poured down Liu Tiezhu; his life had been carried back bit by bit by Chen Xun, yet he had actually doubted Chen Xun's character.

"And the Frostbite Ointment sent down from above this year, you took that back too, didn't you?"

Liu Tiezhu hadn't even had time to digest the first bombshell when the second one fell just like that.

Frostbite Ointment! He had collected two bottles at the time, used one for Wang Erhua and the child, and the other bottle was still sitting in his dormitory.

He couldn't find the words now, and he didn't even know what he should say.

"It was also developed by Comrade An and submitted directly to the Military District Headquarters; the bigwigs from all sides held a meeting and specially approved full supply for the Northeast Military Region." The Secretary's words were resonant and forceful.

Every word, every sentence, was like a muffled thunderclap, striking directly at Liu Tiezhu's heart.

Frostbite Ointment!
