"Ginger and brown sugar." All the shops were closed, and Zhao Huaiyan couldn't call anyone to open their doors just to serve him.

The eldest sister said readily, "I have this at home. Comrade Xiao Ning has caught a cold?"

She didn't wait for anyone to answer, but turned and left, still saying loudly: "Wait here, I'll go back and get it for you."

But she came back not long after. "Can you cook? How about I cook for you?"

Zhao Huaiyan: “No need to trouble you…” I can cook.

Before he could finish, the man ran away again.

Why is this elder sister so enthusiastic?

"Why are you running around?" Yu Xiangqian was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper when he saw his wife running up in a hurry and then stomping into the kitchen without even closing the door.

There was a crackling sound and I didn't know what he was doing.

"What are you doing so late at night? Didn't you have enough dinner?" After thinking about it, Yu Xiangqian put down the newspaper, got up, closed the door and went into the kitchen.

"How's the matter I asked you to go find Comrade Ning Xi going?"

This afternoon he received a call from the local government, specifically asking about Comrade Ning Xi's current condition and whether he was sick.

And they will send someone over tomorrow to express their sincere gratitude to Comrade Ning Xi.

But coming here definitely requires approval, so I called to ask for permission.

Shui Hehua turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "What are you talking about! I don't know how you became the commander. You didn't even know Ning Xi was sick. You don't care about the families of your subordinates at all."

She ran around several times today, but didn't find anyone in the guesthouse. She also didn't see anyone when she went to Ning Shuhan's ward to visit her. She thought she had gone out to play. After all, young people are full of energy, so it's normal for them to wander around the compound and play around.

"Are you sick? Is it serious? Are you in the hospital? I'll go ask."

"I heard her husband say she caught a cold, and I'm making her some brown sugar ginger tea. Don't call me, the hospital director also needs to rest. I'll go to the hospital later to check on her."

"What about her lover?"

"Wait downstairs."

While we were talking, the water had already boiled, and a strong spicy smell accompanied by a sweet taste wafted out.

Yu Xiangqian pinched his nose, as if he couldn't stand the smell, "I'll go down and take a look."

This ginger sugar water still needs to be boiled. Shui Hehua thought about it and realized that she hadn't found anyone today. Maybe she caught a cold early in the morning and probably hadn't eaten it yet.

She opened the cupboard again and took out a handful of dry rice noodles. She also saved half of the pork bone soup she had made at noon, preparing to cook rice noodles tomorrow. It was hot now.

There were also two chicken mushrooms given by someone else, which made the soup very delicious. She also scrubbed them clean with a loofah, tore them into pieces and put them into the soup.

As soon as Yu Xiangqian got off the bus, he saw Zhao Huaiyan waiting by the roadside.

The moment he saw the man clearly, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a handsome man he is! Judging from his looks alone, he is a perfect match for Comrade Xiao Ning!

Yu Xiangqian extended his hand: "Hello! I'm Yu Xiangqian. Are you a relative of Comrade Ning Xi? The person who just spoke to you was my wife."

Zhao Huaiyan was a little surprised, but he also calmly extended his hand to shake his. "Hello, Commander Yu, I've heard a lot about you!"

"Oh? You know me? Who is your father?"

The political commissar told him that Ning Xi's family was coming, and he thought that it was someone below him who reported it to the political commissar, so he agreed immediately.

I didn't expect this person to know him? It seems he's not simple.

"My father didn't know you. My grandfather's name was Zhao Meisheng. When he was alive, he told me that you had great military talent."

Zhao Huaiyan's grandfather had an elegant name, but he was actually a man of iron will. He climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed rivers. In the end, he died of illness before he was sixty years old due to multiple injuries.

The small villa he lives in now was allocated to his grandfather.

Yu Xiangqian felt that it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

This feeling was not pleasant. He said, "I'm sure I've heard of this name. Give me some clues so I can think about it."

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and said, "My grandfather used to be a soldier under Commander Liao."

This Chief Liao refers to Liao Zhengxiong's father, who now works in the capital and holds an important position.

"Oh! I remember now!" Yu Xiangqian recalled, "Your grandfather was not only a good warrior, but also a great poet in the army. I used to copy his poems."

It’s a pity that no one has that romantic sentiment nowadays.

Maybe, but I can't express it.

"Why didn't you join the army? What does your father do?"

Zhao Huaiyan answered them one by one, and was rewarded with a sigh.

Yu Xiangqian: "Your family are all intellectuals. Your grandfather was one of them. My old commander praised him at the time, saying that he could write while sitting and march and fight while standing."

While the two were talking, Shui Hehua had already come down with a lunch box.

"Come on, Xiaoning, my dear, I'll go to the hospital with you to see Xiaoning." Shui Hehua didn't know his name yet, so she just called him casually.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiangqian was still dissatisfied: "My name is Zhao Huaiyan, you can just call me Xiao Zhao. And what's wrong with you? You didn't even invite me up to sit down, but made me wait downstairs."

Shui Hehua rolled her eyes. It was really easy for her to talk without any worries. Who was the one who repeatedly warned her not to invite anyone to her home?

He also said that his work was important and there were confidential documents at home, so no one was allowed to come.

If it’s so important, why don’t you hide it in the office?

Now they are turning the tables.

Thinking of this, she pierced her throat and said, "Oh? I just call him 'Xiao Ning's Lover', so what? Xiao Ning's Lover, do you think this is okay?"

Zhao Huaiyan felt his face getting a little hot and nodded: "Okay."
