Although there were various weapons in Jiang Yushan's space, this gun was given to her specially by Kong Linghua, so she did not refuse.

But when he took the submachine gun, his fingertips gently slid across the cold metal surface, feeling its heavy weight, the emotions surging in his heart were hotter than the gun itself.

When she noticed the abbreviation of her name on the gun handle, which was so exquisitely crafted that it seemed to be the result of the painstaking efforts of a craftsman, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into deep emotion.

"Eh? Director Kong, you are so thoughtful." She said softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

This gun is not just a weapon, but also Kong Linghua's affirmation of her ability and recognition of her efforts, which is of great significance.

This gun has transcended its practical value as a weapon and has become a work of art with special significance, worthy of being treasured forever.

Huo Ci watched him give a gun to Jiang Yushan from the side. He originally wanted to complain, saying that it was weird to give a gun to a pregnant woman.

But looking at Jiang Yushan's face full of surprise and emotion, I couldn't help but feel happy for her.

"Thank you." Then he patted Kong Linghua's shoulder gently to show his gratitude and appreciation.

Kong Linghua looked at Jiang Yushan with a sly smile on his face, and brought up the topic of free meals again.

"Hehe, um...can I have a free meal? My stomach is starting to protest." There was a hint of childishness in his words, which made people laugh.

Jiang Yushan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this. She shook her head, feeling helpless and amused at Kong Linghua's straightforwardness.

She pointed at the duck in Huo Ci's hand, motioning him to deal with it first, and then she turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

"Huo Ci, please prepare the duck and bring it in. I'll cook a few more dishes." Jiang Yushan said to Huo Ci, her voice full of tenderness and virtuousness.

Seeing this, Kong Linghua quickly expressed his desire to help: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, is there anything I can help you with? I feel embarrassed to just sit here and wait."

As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, looking eager to try.

However, Jiang Yushan shook her head slightly and declined his kindness.

"No need, the meal will be ready soon. You can just chat with Huo Ci outside, and the meal will be served soon." There was some determination in her words, and it was obvious that she didn't want Kong Linghua to come in and cause trouble.

"Oh..." Seeing this, Kong Linghua had to retreat in disappointment, but her heart was full of anticipation for the delicious food she was about to taste.

He found a place to sit down and looked towards the kitchen door from time to time, his eyes revealing his infinite yearning for Jiang Yushan's craftsmanship.

Jiang Yushan made the duck that Kong Linghua brought into beer duck. After stewing, the alcohol inside evaporated, but the unique flavor of beer was retained.

Although she couldn't eat much as a pregnant woman, she could still try a few bites to enhance her taste.

Kong Linghua looked at the table full of delicious dishes, and his eyes lit up. "Haha, I only brought a duck, but I didn't expect to get such a large table of delicious dishes in return. I guess I have to bring more next time to see if I can try all of Comrade Xiao Jiang's specialties!"

"..." Huo Ci listened and glared at him from the side.

Jiang Yushan smiled and said, "Sure, if you like it, eat more."

Kong Linghua finally ate the meal he had been longing for, and praised Jiang Yushan's cooking skills. He praised every dish and said it was delicious.

As he ate these dishes, he wanted to bring his wife to the family compound. The feeling of eating at home was indeed different from eating in the cafeteria.

"I've eaten so much and haven't done anything. Let me wash the dishes!" After dinner, Kong Linghua felt really embarrassed and quickly offered to wash the dishes.

Seeing that his attitude was quite firm, Huo Ci did not refuse and let him do as he pleased.

Kong Linghua washed the dishes with almost the same enthusiasm as she did doing research. She stayed in the kitchen for a long time and cleaned it very cleanly.

…

"Captain Huo is simply possessed by the devil. The intensity of the training is pushing us to death!" Yan Dajiang complained breathlessly while wiping the sweat from his forehead, his face full of fatigue but determination.

Recently, Huo Ci has increased his training volume in preparation for his mission next month.

Although Huo Ci did not force others to follow his pace and practice more, his emphasis on the mission and his desire for victory spread quietly among the team like an invisible force.

Everyone looked at Huo Ci's tireless figure, and the dormant fighting spirit in their hearts was completely awakened, and they spontaneously joined the extra training.

Of course, it is also for the purpose of having their names on the list when selecting people for missions.

"He's so strong, he trains one-third more than us. We're exhausted like dogs, but he acts like nothing happened." The soldier next to him echoed.

If Huo Ci wasn't sweating, one wouldn't be able to tell how intense his training was just by looking at his reaction.

Yan Dajiang rested for a while, and seeing Huo Ci still training, a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat surged up in him, and he gritted his teeth and continued.

A morning of high-intensity training finally came to an end. As the whistle sounded at the end of the training, the soldiers seemed to be liberated in an instant, and ran towards the cafeteria like wild horses.

Their faces were filled with fatigue, but more of a desire for the upcoming delicious food. Their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger, and they could almost hear each other's impatient heartbeats.

Among this group of people, Yan Dajiang showed his speed and passion as always. Like a black lightning, he rushed to the front, far ahead of everyone else.

His strong figure looked particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

However, when all the soldiers were immersed in the joy of enjoying the delicious food, there was one exception.

Huo Ci, the strongest person on the training ground, was standing quietly on the training ground at this moment, looking into the distance with deep eyes, with no intention of leaving at all.

His figure seemed particularly lonely in the empty training ground, but his calmness and composure could not be ignored.

A soldier noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel curious. He stopped and asked doubtfully: "Captain Huo, aren't you going to eat? Everyone is starving."

"You guys go ahead. My wife will come and bring me lunch at noon." Huo Ci immediately responded proudly, with the words "I have a wife" written directly on his face.

The soldier, feeling as if he had been fed a mouthful of dog food, fell silent and left in a hurry.

Damn his curiosity, he asked such an unnecessary question just now!
