Chapter 20 Lulu Wakes Up

"Aunt Liu, I'm going to light the stove, the house is too cold."

The contrast between the heat and the cold made her back feel a little chilly.

"I'll go."

Huang Chendong quickly spoke and fled the house as if escaping.

He felt a little guilty facing the two women's predatory gazes...

Could it be that the arrangements were really not made well?

Huang Chendong, who single-handedly arranged the lives of everyone in the independent battalion, was somewhat self-doubting.

"Juanzi, you stay here and keep watch, I'm going home to get something."

"There's nothing here, we can't even cook."

If you want to cook, you don't even have basic tools like a knife and cutting board, let alone ingredients.

Since Xiao Jinli never cooked, Chu Lulu dared not touch a kitchen knife.

Nobody even thought that they needed to keep these things at home.

"Okay, Aunt Liu, I'll keep an eye on it, don't worry."

Liu Juan poured some warm water and wiped Chu Lulu's face and hands. She lay there obediently, her mischievous eyes no longer visible, but rather quiet.

"Comrade Liu Juan, could you please write down a list for me? I'll prepare according to the list."

Huang Chendong coughed softly, looked at the person who was about to reach out and pinch Chu Lulu's cheek, and quickly interrupted her.

The person the battalion commander assigned to take care of fainted from hunger the day after moving in.

The battalion commander is back; I don't know how to deal with him!

Although his life was saved by the battalion commander, he didn't want to give his life back to the battalion commander.

Liu Juan's hand missed its target, and under Huang Chendong's gaze, she was too embarrassed to try again, so she could only withdraw it in disappointment.

She took a pen out of her pocket. She had a habit of carrying a pen with her, but not a habit of carrying paper.

"I don't have any paper. Can you find me a piece of paper?"

Huang Chendong went to look in another room. This room contained miscellaneous items that Xiao Jinli had moved in, piled up in a corner of the room. He was in a hurry to go on a mission and hadn't had time to move them out yet.

"Women need face cream and clam oil to rub their hands and feet. It's cold here in winter, and they are prone to frostbite, so clam oil is indispensable."

Following her own habits, she drew a desk. "LuLu's acupuncture skills are amazing. She had surgery again today."

"This shows that she is proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and she must need to read books, so a desk is essential."

"If possible, make a set of Chinese medicine cabinets and set aside a room specifically for her pharmacy."

As Liu Juan spoke, she drew a model of a traditional Chinese medicine cabinet, based on the appearance of a hospital pharmacy.

She looked up at Huang Chendong as if she had just thought of something.

"I heard from Master Fu before that each doctor's Chinese medicine cabinet has different sections. I can only draw a diagram of the outer dimensions for you. The inner sections will need to be determined by Lulu herself."

"Women like things to be clean, so towels are essential. You bought a washbasin, but you only bought one towel?"

besides……

From furniture to household goods to office supplies, kitchenware may not be necessities, but lunchboxes and similar items are still necessary.

Liu Juan wrote three full pages: one page was a list, two pages were diagrams, one page was about the desk, and one page was about the Chinese medicine cabinet.

That's all for now.

Huang Chendong pursed his lips slightly. "So many!"

Does keeping a female companion really have to be this complicated?

"Still not awake?"

Aunt Liu brought a lot of things from home. Because she had so many things, she asked her son to help deliver them.

"You can go back now. I'm not going back tonight. I'll go straight to the cafeteria tomorrow."

“Your dad went to the hospital to stay with Xiao Xie, so you don’t need to wait for us.”

Aunt Liu's son was a new recruit that year, and she accompanied her husband to the army.

Her husband used to work in the mess hall, and now he's the head of the canteen.

After sending her son away, Aunt Liu put the casserole on the stove, then chopped the prepared chicken into pieces, soaked it to remove the blood, and put it into the casserole.

"This young lady can faint from hunger; her health is too poor."

"Xiao Huang, your independent battalion only has this one family member, so you must take good care of him."

“If you don’t know how to take care of female comrades, then let Lulu come to my house. My house also has a yard, and it’s spacious. There’s a place for her to stay, and she won’t have to worry about food or drink.”

Huang Chendong kept a straight face and didn't dare to say a word.

Previously, in the entire military region, he was only afraid of his own battalion commander.

Now……

"I will be more careful in the future."

He answered in a muffled voice, and made a note in his notebook, reminding Comrade Chu to eat on time!

What we're saying is that he was a guard in an independent battalion, ranking below the battalion commander and above the entire battalion.

Why do I suddenly feel a bit frustrated?

Liu Xiuchun had no intention of blaming anyone; she simply wanted to take care of Chu Lulu.

She has no daughter, only one son. He was mischievous when he was young, but he joined the army when he grew up, which made things easier for her. However, he is cold and aloof every day.

Where can you find a little girl who is more lovable?

What bad intentions could Aunt Liu possibly have? She just wants to bring a daughter home!

"From now on, the cafeteria will always have Lulu's meals on hand, so you don't need to worry about her eating."

"The rules for your independent camp will always apply to LuLu."

At this point, Liu Xiuchun paused, looked at Huang Chendong, and reminded him, "She didn't benefit from your Independent Battalion's fame; she's a benefactor of the canteen. We canteen staff are willing to treat her well."

"No matter what time it is, no matter when, she can knock on my door anytime she's hungry."

Huang Chendong simply watched; he rarely showed any emotion, so asking him to be charming or ingratiating was simply impossible.

"Alright, alright, the chicken soup is ready."

"I'll make some hand-pulled noodles. I've been hungry for so long, I can't eat anything too oily. I'll make chicken noodle soup instead, it's good for my stomach."

Liu Xiuchun moved very quickly.

Huang Chendong couldn't stay inside to guard the house, as men and women should be kept separate. So he went outside to help out, but his clumsy manner often drew Liu Xiuchun's disdain.

How can such a clumsy guy take care of the delicate and fragile Lulu?

Ever since she learned that she was a family member of an independent battalion commander, this thought had crossed Liu Xiuchun's mind countless times.

Liu Juan helped decorate the room, and she twisted some leftover fabric from making curtains into a small flower basket.

Then she went home and put the dried flowers she had made earlier into a small flower basket.

And there you have it, a flower basket ornament! Place it on the table, and it brings a touch of warmth and a faint floral fragrance.

"fragrant!"

Sudden……

A voice interrupted Liu Juan's arrangements.

"LuLu, you're awake!"

She quickly walked to the bedside, looked at the girl rubbing her eyes, and helped her sit up.

Chu Lulu looked at Liu Juan and blinked.

Isn't that the lovely nurse from the hospital? How did she end up at home?

"Aunt Liu, Lulu is awake."

Liu Juan is a nurse, not a doctor. She first called out to the outside, then turned to look at her, "Is anything bothering you?"

"Are you dizzy? Can you see clearly? Do you know who I am?"

Speaking so fast, Chu Lulu even wondered if she was a chatterbox!
