Mrs. Lu took Yang Haiyan to the back door, and then said to the soldier guarding the gate: "Soldier, can you help us call Centurion Lu Zhide and Centurion Qin Fang? They are both under the command of Captain Ao Qianfu, and we are their wives."
The soldiers guarding the gate are all soldiers, the lowest level, so naturally they will not refuse.
One of the soldiers said, "Wait a moment."
The tents in the military camp are divided according to the thousand-man captain. The tents of the soldiers under each thousand-man captain are in the same area, so it is very convenient for the guards to call Lu Zhide and Qin Fang.
The gatekeeper saw a few soldiers chatting in the tent area of Captain Ao, so he went over and asked, "Excuse me, are Captain Lu and Captain Qin here? Their wives are here to see you."
The chatting soldier: "Yes, I'll go get someone."
Qin Fang was sleeping. This month they were on duty, and they were on night duty. They had to stay alert all night and not sleep. They had to hand over at the end of Mao time (7 o'clock the next day). So Qin Fang would have breakfast after the handover and then go to bed. He would sleep until noon, get up to eat lunch, train in the afternoon, and be on duty again at night. He would sleep five or six hours a day.
It was not even time for him to wake up yet, but he was woken up.
"Boss Qin, your wife is here, wake up quickly, Boss Qin..."
Qin Fang opened his eyes. With the sharpness of a military commander, he didn't need to open his eyes too much. He was already fully awake. "My wife?" Because he had just woken up, his voice was a little deep and a little tired and hoarse. Qin Fang felt irritated when he thought of his bad wife. He was twenty years old this year. Normally, people of this age want a wife and son to live in, but Qin Fang didn't want that at all. He was big and could eat more than the average person. He had a monthly allowance of 1 tael of silver and 30 kilograms of food, but 30 kilograms of food was not enough to eat, so he had to use his monthly allowance to buy food.
Qin Fang has his own plan. He divides his monthly allowance into three parts. He keeps one part for himself, asks someone to bring one part back to his parents after saving it for a year, and the other part is for food. Now that he has married a delicate wife, he has to save food from his own mouth. Who is willing to do that
However, the daughter-in-law given by the court was equivalent to a marriage granted by the emperor's decree and could not be returned, so he felt very bitter.
Moreover, this wife was still restless and committed suicide by taking poison on her wedding night. How terrible was that? He spent more than one tael of silver to hire a doctor and buy medicine, and also gave one tael of silver to the neighboring wife Lu as a backup. More importantly, it was rumored in the barracks these days that his wife committed suicide by taking poison on her wedding night and stepped on his face.
Qin Fang felt very bitter.
"Boss Qin?"
Qin Fang: "I know." He got up reluctantly and got out of bed with a gloomy face. That annoying woman woke up? He didn't know why she came, but he had a hunch that it was definitely not a good thing.
Qin Fang came out of his tent and saw Lu Zhide next door also coming out of his tent. They were both centurions, so they had their own tents. Lu Zhide smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so grumpy when you wake up."
Qin Fang stretched his stiff face but couldn't smile.
When Qin Fang and Lu Zhide walked out, the gossiping soldiers asked, "What do you think Boss Qin's wife is doing here?"
"He committed suicide by taking poison on his wedding night. It must be bad luck if he comes now."
"Will you divorce Boss Qin?"
"Are you stupid? Can you divorce after a marriage granted by the court?"
"I think he's here to have a fight with Boss Qin."
"Boss Qin is so strong, would his wife dare to quarrel with him?"
"Why don't we just follow and take a look?"
So, a few soldiers followed secretly and decided to watch Qin Fang's performance.
The closer he got to the back door of the military camp, the more irritated Qin Fang became. He was also wondering why that annoying woman came to see him.
Mrs. Lu saw her husband and waved, "Master."
Lu Zhide was originally walking with Qin Fang, but now he ran up and asked, "Why are you here?"
Qin Fang naturally also saw Yang Haiyan next to Mrs. Lu. Her slender figure was the best he had ever seen, and her pretty face was much more beautiful than on the night of her wedding (she was wearing makeup that day). She looked a little thin in her clothes, in a light blue long dress, like a lady from a noble family.
People who come from wealthy families are different.
Qin Fang naturally recognized Yang Haiyan. After all, he had taken care of her for a whole day, calling a doctor, decocting medicine, feeding her medicine, and even washing her face.
However, Yang Haiyan had no impression of him, because the original owner's memory of him was that he was tall and strong, and very vague. But now, watching Qin Fang walk towards her, she could tell from that vague impression that this person was Qin Fang. He was indeed very tall, 195 cm tall, and he stood out among the soldiers. He was tall but not fat, but very strong, with muscles on his arms and abdomen. He strode with two long legs, and his slender figure was very eye-catching.
Nowadays women like gentle men, the kind who are romantic and handsome, but to Yang Haiyan, modern male stars are all these creamy little bitches, she is tired of seeing them, she likes tall and manly men. So when she looked at Qin Fang, her heart was pounding, it was not love at first sight, but seeing the type she liked, with a kind of heart-beating pleasure.
Qin Fang frowned and asked solemnly, "Why are you here? Are you feeling better?"
Yang Haiyan collected her thoughts and apologized, "I feel much better now, thanks to Sister Lu who took care of me. My husband, on the wedding day, I was very tired because I had been traveling from the capital for many days, so I took some medicine. I didn't know that there was something wrong with the medicine. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you these days. It's my fault."
Qin Fang's frown relaxed a little when he heard it. It turned out that she had taken the wrong medicine. He felt relieved. He was afraid that this awful woman really committed suicide by taking poison. However, looking at her frail appearance, he still felt awful. She must be unable to do anything in this state, and he had to save his food for her to eat.
Qin Fang: "It's okay. The doctor said that you've been suffering from health problems. You need to take good care of yourself for a while and get well first." It's better to get stronger and not waste food.
Yang Haiyan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, my husband. I was just worried that you would miss me when you were on duty in the barracks, and I was afraid that you would delay your work, so I rushed over to tell you that I have woken up."
Qin Fang: “Yeah.” He sounded pitiful, which was annoying.
Yang Haiyan put down the basket and took out the lunch box from it: "I heard from Mrs. Lu that you couldn't sleep all night when you were on duty, so I brought you some food to replenish your body. Have you had lunch?"
Qin Fang: "No, you don't have to bother me. I can eat in the kitchen." What if she came from the family quarters like this and got sick again? Wouldn't she have to spend his money to hire a doctor? Just thinking about it made him even more upset. (Kitchen: the meaning of the military cafeteria)
Yang Haiyan: "How can it be difficult to cook for your husband? I don't know your taste, so I made some simple food. You can try it first. If you don't like it, you can tell me when I come to deliver it tomorrow."
Qin Fang: "No need, I'll just eat from the kitchen."
Yang Haiyan: "It's okay, I like to bring you food."
Qin Fang: “…”
Yang Haiyan handed him the basket and said, "Then Sister Lu and I will go back first and bring it to you tomorrow." After saying that, without waiting for Qin Fang's response, she left arm in arm with Sister Lu.
Qin Fang looked at Yang Haiyan's back and felt strange.
"Boss Qin, what did your sister-in-law give you? It seems like a lot."
"Boss Qin, it's almost time for lunch, why don't you give them a taste?"
The few people who were talking to Qin Fang were his soldiers. Of course, he would not be stingy with his soldiers: "Yeah." Although he didn't know what that annoying woman had given him, food was precious and it was good to have something to eat. He would not despise it, and neither would anyone else.
Compared with Qin Fang's full basket of food, Lu Zhide's was less. But it was understandable, after all, he was an old couple, and Qin Fang was a newlywed.
Qin Fang went to the mess hall with the support of the soldiers, and everyone found a place to sit down. Qin Fang took out the food from the basket, two super large lunch boxes, a small clay pot, and a cloth bag. He looked at the cloth bag first, and then was a little surprised, there were white flour buns inside.
The soldier said, "Boss Qin, your sister-in-law is so kind that she sent you some white flour buns."
"That's right. White flour is so precious. My sister-in-law is so kind to you."
"That's good now. Those who said my sister-in-law committed suicide by taking poison on her wedding night can shut up. My sister-in-law just took the wrong medicine."
Took the wrong medicine...
Qin Fang took out five steamed buns and gave the rest to them: "Share it among you." If it were any other time, he certainly wouldn't be so polite. Yang Haiyan brought 10 steamed buns, and he took five, leaving five in the bag. But since it was the first time Yang Haiyan brought food, he couldn't be stingy. "If there's not enough food, go get your own food."
Regardless of whether everyone got a share of steamed buns or not, these five were definitely not enough for everyone to eat, so they had to get some rice.
"Boss Qin, come and see what dishes your sister-in-law sent you?"
Qin Fang hummed, and opened the next dish. One was stir-fried Chinese cabbage, one was braised pork intestines, and one was pork trotter soup. The three dishes looked delicious no matter how they looked at them. Especially the pork intestines, the smell was very overbearing, and just smelling it made people drool. Not to mention everyone, even Qin Fang felt greedy. "Everyone go get some rice, and share some." Even if the portions were large, there was not enough to share, and each person could only eat one chopstick.
"Okay."
When the soldiers came to eat, Qin Fang picked up a piece of pig intestine and cabbage with chopsticks for each of them and poured them some pig's trotter soup.
"Wow, what kind of meat is this? It's delicious."
"This tastes amazing. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are amazing, right?"
"That's right, I've never eaten anything so delicious."
"You talk as if you've eaten a lot."
"Boss Qin, you are so lucky to have married a wife with such good craftsmanship."
