Chapter 53 What did the fish do to deserve this?

Chu Lulu slung the medicine kit over her shoulder. "Okay, I'm going home for dinner tonight. What should I bring?"

"liquor?"

"Don't!"

Upon hearing the word "alcohol," Commander Jiang immediately thought of his report: this girl's alcohol tolerance was truly indescribable.

Why was the refusal so firm?

It seems the commander doesn't like to drink!

What a wonderful misunderstanding.

"Then I'll figure it out myself."

"I'm going back now."

With Xiao Xie's hand healed, the task on her shoulders was also completed.

New recruits have already started registering, and in another two weeks, those who pass the selection process will be ready to enlist.

Has Sisi signed up?

She will be able to see her sister soon.

Thinking about it this way, I felt exceptionally good.

"Sister Lu is back?"

"Sister Lu."

Hearing the commotion at the door, the four aunties greeted Chu Lulu when they saw her.

Since Liu Lin reminded her, she went to the pharmacy in the city, calculated the cost of herbs and labor, and finally priced it at fifteen yuan a bottle.

They raised prices by more than half, thinking no one would buy them.

Unexpectedly...

Orders are only increasing.

Moreover, they were mostly repeat customers, which meant that the four aunties kept working. They used to be paid every two or three days, but later they were paid every half month.

The factory in the port city was already built and is now in production.

However, before even a month had passed since the business started operating, the first month's revenue figures were not yet available.

She had already prepared for the worst, after all, Willow Grove's pricing was simply too high.

"You guys continue, I'll rest for a bit."

After entering the house, she tidied up, locked the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and went straight into the space.

She caught up on all the classes she had missed and also thoroughly studied all the hospital's medical records.

She gradually slowed down, giving herself a chance to relax.

"Deer."

"What are you doing here? Did you bribe Commander Jiang too?"

Hearing the sound, Chu Lulu looked up and met Xiao Jinli's gaze. She blurted out.

The voices were very soft; one person spoke and the other listened, and no one else heard them.

bribe?

Commander Jiang?

Commander Jiang is known for his iron-fisted nature; how could he tolerate those two words in his troops?

"Cough cough..."

Commander Jiang's casual clothes at home lacked the solemnity of his military uniform, giving him a more relaxed and homely feel.

"Honey, Lulu's here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than hurried footsteps were heard coming from the kitchen.

A woman walked out, tears welling in her eyes. When she looked at Chu Lulu, she spoke softly, "Lulu, do you still remember Aunt Hui?"

Aunt Hui, Wang Hui!

She was her mother's good friend. After her mother passed away, her father went on a mission, and it was Aunt Hui who accompanied her.

"Aunt Hui."

It was just a name, but tears started falling.

It wasn't that she felt wronged; it was just her reaction upon seeing her family.

"Hey, Aunt Hui's here!"

"I'm so sorry for my Lulu, don't cry, don't cry."

Like Chu Dashan, Commander Jiang was often away on missions and not at home. Her impression of Commander Jiang was very faint. It's normal that she couldn't remember her after almost 20 years.

But Aunt Hui was the one who had always given her warmth after her mother passed away.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"Don't cry anymore. From now on, Aunt Hui will protect you and won't let you be bullied."

Wang Hui's eyes also reddened. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her voice trembling slightly.

She couldn't imagine what the child had gone through.

"Aunt Hui, I'm fine."

"Seeing you suddenly reminded me of my childhood."

Chu Lulu wiped away her tears and cried silently, her voice becoming hoarse.

"Aunt Hui, don't cry. I won't let myself be wronged. Whoever makes me suffer, I'll take their life."

That domineering little face made Wang Hui laugh through her tears, and she pinched her little cheek, "Yes, Sister Lu is mighty and domineering."

The playful nickname brought the two of them closer together.

Xiao Jinli stood behind Chu Lulu, watching her cry, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing her smile, I breathed a huge sigh of relief, and even my tightly clenched fist unconsciously loosened.

"Today it's just the four of us having family dinner."

"Don't be nervous, sit wherever you like."

Wang Hui called to Xiao Jinli, then took a bunch of snacks and fruits and placed them in front of Chu Lulu, saying, "You eat first, and I'll take them all back for you to eat later."

The differential treatment is somewhat obvious...

"Oh no! My fish! I'll go cook first."

There's still fish soup simmering in the pot!

When Lulu was little, she loved to eat fish. She even got a fish bone stuck in her throat once and cried that she would never eat fish again. But two days later, she was asking to eat fish again.

Commander Jiang's expression was strange as he listened to the fish.

Chu Lulu noticed it, and so did Xiao Jinli. They exchanged a glance but said nothing.

When the food was served, I finally understood the reason for the strange situation.

Sweet and sour fish, steamed fish, fish stewed in an iron pot, and deep-fried ribbonfish.

Well, how should I put it!

I don't know what the fish did to deserve this, but today they've prepared a whole fish feast, and yes, there's also a fish soup.

"Try it. You loved eating fish when you were little. Your mother and I used to go to the river to catch fish all the time."

"Look, has Aunt Hui's cooking skills declined?"

Wang Hui served Chu Lulu a bowl of fish soup, and then took a large bowl and served her vegetables one fish at a time.

"tasty!"

"It's so delicious."

Chu Lulu's eyes were bright and sparkling, but her voice was a little muffled, after all, her mouth was full of fish.

Commander Jiang looked at Xiao Jinli with a wrinkled face.

Unexpectedly, this kid secretly served food to Chu Lulu, and as soon as he saw which dish she ate the most, he immediately put it in her bowl.

That speed was fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Commander Jiang realized that he was the only outsider.

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Even if it's delicious, you should eat it slowly.

The previous sentence was said by Wang Hui!

The next sentence, without a doubt, must have been said by our Battalion Commander Xiao.

Commander Jiang glanced at the two people beside him, took a sip of fish soup, and wondered if his presence was really that insignificant.

Chu Lulu is not picky about food; she eats whatever is available. However, her favorite food is fish—she likes all kinds of fish.

"Aunt Hui, you should eat too."

"Xiao Jinli, don't worry about me."

"Hurry up and eat, or Commander Jiang will eat all the food."

She hadn't even picked up much food yet, and the plates were almost empty.

"I'm done eating?"

Commander Jiang stared wide-eyed. "You can't talk nonsense like that!"

He had just calmed down and only ate three bites of food and drank two sips of soup.

How did he finish eating it all? Is he a Pixiu?

"I didn't even pick up any food!" Comrade Chu Lulu complained.

Girl, what has blinded you?

You didn't pick up any food, but the key question is, were you even using your hands to pick it up?

With your guardians watching you intently, wherever your eyes glance, their chopsticks will reach out in that direction.

Just as Commander Jiang decided to tell the truth, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his left foot, and his right elbow suddenly jerked.

The instep of the left foot.

The right arm.

We won't say who did it; the readers all know.
