Just as Yin Xiaoman was trying hard to think of how to organize his words so that Team Leader Zhou would not reveal this relationship for the time being, Team Leader Zhou suddenly stopped what he was doing.

The excited expression on his face froze.

He was stunned for a while, as if thinking about something, and then his expression changed from initial excitement and joy to deep frustration and guilt.

He looked at Yin Xiaoman and said apologetically, "Xiaoman, our relationship cannot be disclosed to others for the time being."

Yin Xiaoman was stunned by what he said.

In the eyes of squad leader Zhou, her brief stunned look was interpreted as disappointment.

He quickly explained: "Xiao Man, you are in a different identity now."

He pointed upwards with his finger: "The nature of your current job... our family background will hinder you."

Having said this, he smiled gently, and his smile was full of bitterness.

"You and the battalion commander, it's not easy for your family to have a place to live. You can't let this matter of ours delay your future.

You guys take good care of yourself on the island, and you will definitely have a bright future as battalion commander. As long as you live a good life, it doesn’t really matter whether you recognize your relatives or not. ”

At this point, he sighed, sat back on the stool and added some more porridge to Yin Xiaoman's bowl: "But don't worry, I will definitely recognize you as my sister. As long as you stay in the camp for a day, I will definitely take good care of your meals. Just be careful in front of outsiders and don't spread it."

Hearing him say this, Yin Xiaoman's nose suddenly felt sore. She thought of her previous thoughts and suddenly felt extremely guilty.

She snorted and called out, "Brother."

"Hey!" Squad Leader Zhou grinned happily. His face, which originally looked a little babyish, now looked even younger.

Yin Xiaoman rubbed his nose and asked, "Brother, you recognize me just based on a tattoo... Isn't that too rash?"

She waved her hand: "Don't think too much. I'm not denying you. I just wonder if we are mistaken."

"No." Squad Leader Zhou answered with great certainty.

"To be honest, I thought you looked familiar when I first saw you, but I couldn't figure out where we'd met before.

But now I understand that you should look like your mother, my aunt. My grandfather has a photo of my aunt when she was a child, taken when she was sixteen years old. He always takes it out to look at it, and I have seen it more than once.

I didn’t match you before, but now that I think about it, you look exactly like the little aunt in the photo! ”

When he said this, his eyes turned red again and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.

"I really want Grandpa to see you! If he were still alive, he would be able to rest in peace if he could see you once."

After saying that, he lowered his head.

After a while, he wiped his face and looked up at Yin Xiaoman again: "I'm sorry, I'm a little emotional at the moment, I need to calm down.

Xiaoman, your health is the most important thing now. Don’t think about anything else. I’m here. Just tell me what you want to eat or drink. As long as you tell me, I will find a way to get it for you. Not to mention that you can get it, but at least you will have a much better chance than others. ”

For a while, he was crying and laughing in the room, causing Yin Xiaoman to also experience ups and downs in emotions. What else can you think of to eat at the moment?

Seeing that she kept shaking her head and said nothing, squad leader Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want some egg custard? I'll make you some steamed egg custard at noon?"

Yin Xiaoman thought about it and realized that because the island had been closed for so long, he had accumulated a lot of money and various tickets, and it was estimated that some of them would soon be invalid.

Since my cousin is able to help me buy food, there is no need to be reserved.

So he nodded and said, "Brother, if you have a way, just use all the money and notes that Qingyun brought to you. Saving things is better than saving notes. At least don't waste them."

Hearing her say this, Squad Leader Zhou looked unimpressed.

"It won't be invalid. Our kitchen staff has to buy a lot of things every day. I will use up your and Xiao Qiao's coupons first without you telling me.

As for the things you need to bring back to the island, I will prepare them once you confirm your discharge date. Just tell me what you want and I'll buy it for you. ”

At this point, he explained: "Our regiment headquarters is in the city, so it is very convenient to go to the grain store, the supply and marketing cooperative, or the vegetable market. It's hot, the canteen doesn't have vegetables, so we have to go out to buy them every morning.

Buying things for you is just a piece of cake and it doesn't take much effort. You don't have to think about it too early, it will always be in time to talk about it when the time comes. ”

After explaining this, he turned the topic back to lunch.

"I'll make you an egg custard and a bowl of steamed rice for lunch, okay?"

"Okay." Yin Xiaoman nodded.

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Squad Leader Zhou was also happy. He cleaned up the dishes she had used, and despite her repeated refusals, took them all outside to wash them, then left with a smile.

As a result, Qiao Mai walked in just a moment after he left.

"Xiaoman, did the kitchen staff send you some date cake this morning? Oh my God, there are actually people in the group who can make this. It's so delicious!" She looked extremely excited.

Even as she spoke, she carefully opened the handkerchief in her hand. Only then did Yin Xiaoman see that inside her handkerchief was a small piece of date cake that was exactly the same as the one she had eaten before.

"I left a piece for you to eat. Children need a lot of nutrition, you must eat more." Qiao Mai held the date cake in front of her.

Yin Xiaoman looked at her.

All I saw in her eyes was sincerity.

She knew that this girl was really a simple-minded person.

When you are not familiar with her, she seems to be very distant and difficult to get along with; but after you get to know her, she will be very kind to you with all her heart.

For some reason, Yin Xiaoman thought of Liu Chang and felt that it was a pity to miss a girl like Qiao Mai.

She sighed and pointed with her chin to the bowl of rice on the bedside table, which was now covered with a piece of clean gauze.

"There's more in there. I can't eat it all. You can eat it with me."

Hearing her say this, Qiao Mai was stunned, then walked over and uncovered the gauze with a little disbelief.

When he saw that there were indeed two untouched date cakes inside, he did not show any joy, but was furious.

"Xiao Man, why don't you eat it? You are leaving such good food like this, aren't you afraid that it will go bad? Don't be willful, if you don't eat it, the baby in your belly will have to eat it! If it is malnourished, what if it becomes like me in the future?"

As Qiao Mai was talking, she got angry. She put the handkerchief in her hand on the table and came to help her: "Xiao Man, I'll help you up. You eat them and then go to sleep."

"Hey, don't touch me." Yin Xiaoman was depressed and wanted to punch the wall.

She was too embarrassed to tell Qiao Mai that what her cousin brought her was not two pieces of rice, but a small lunch box.

Because they were using the millet she brought, her cousin was an honest man and was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so he gave her all the steamed millet except two pieces for Qiao Mai.

Under his supervision, she ate more than half a bowl of porridge and several pieces of date cake. If she ate any more now, she would really vomit.

"Please forgive me, I am indeed full!"

Yin Xiaoman patted his bed helplessly and looked at Qiao Mai: "Eat small meals frequently, you know? The doctor told me not to eat too much. Also, try sleeping upside down like this and see if you can still eat!"

After hearing her say this, Qiao Mai stopped what he was doing.

She thought about it, and was obviously still unwilling.

He simply put the date cake he brought into the rice bowl, and then covered her with gauze again.

Then he said, "Then eat small meals frequently. If you feel a little hungry, just eat one piece. Three pieces will be finished in a short while."

After that, fearing that she would not obey, he added earnestly: "This thing is good, it replenishes blood."

"You should eat more to replenish your blood." Yin Xiaoman glared at her.

But Qiao Mai had obviously made up his mind to save the delicious food for her. No matter what she said, the girl refused to touch the food in the bowl.

Seeing her like this, Yin Xiaoman couldn't help it.

She really felt that it would be a shame not to give such a good girl to Liu Chang.

Although she felt that she did not have the potential to be a matchmaker, but what if?

Judging from their past appearances, they had some interactions at all, right?

At least from Liu Chang it can be seen that he still cares a lot about Qiao Mai.

After spending such a long time together, Yin Xiaoman felt that there was no problem with Liu Chang's character.

She pondered for a long while, and finally asked: "Qiao Mai, I have something to ask you, and I don't know if I should ask. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so gossipy, but I just feel..."

"You want to ask me about Liu Chang and me?" Qiao Mai interrupted her with a smile.

Yin Xiaoman didn't expect Qiao Mai to be so frank, and looked at her in shock.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Mai laughed.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Oh no, Xiaoman, you're not trying to be a matchmaker for us, are you? Don't do that."

Since Qiao Mai said so, Yin Xiaoman had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

She waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I didn't mean that."

"That's good. There's no chance for the two of us."

After Qiao Mai's explanation, Yin Xiaoman realized that she and Liu Chang actually had a connection.

She and Liu Chang grew up in the same courtyard, and the adults of both families knew each other.

We went to the same school from elementary school to junior high school, and even sat at the same desk. We had a very good relationship.

But after entering high school, Liu Chang's grades were so good that he took the internal recruitment after only half a year and went to military school early. After that, their paths were no longer the same and they rarely saw each other again.

If things ended here, then the two of them would be considered childhood friends, and when they meet again they can at least talk about their classmate friendship.

But later, after Liu Chang graduated, he returned to Haicheng and was assigned to work in the military hospital in Haicheng.

An aunt who knew both families insisted on being a matchmaker for them.

And that auntie has a cheerful personality.

She probably thought that Qiao Mai and Liu Chang were a match made in heaven and that no one could be more compatible with each other, so she announced the news to many people before the matchmaking was even completed.

Qiao Mai was the last one among those who knew about it.

At that time, she had just been brought back from the countryside by her grandmother because of anemia and was recuperating at home. She usually never left the house except to go to the hospital.

So even though the news was all over the place, she knew nothing about it.

Until one day, a classmate who was close to her came over and said indignantly that he wanted to help her vent her anger and go to Liu Chang to argue with her. Only then did she realize that the rumors were...

It was said that their family had taken a fancy to Liu Chang and used their connections to propose marriage. As a result, Liu Chang's family disliked her because she was a sickly girl and was afraid that she would affect the next generation.

It was not easy to refuse directly and embarrass her, so Liu Chang had to give up his job at Haicheng Military Hospital and transferred to a remote small town in the south to work as a military doctor.

People outside are saying all kinds of things now, but generally speaking, more people are blaming Qiao Mai. She felt that she had harmed Liu Chang and ruined his future.

After listening to his classmates’ stories, Qiao Mai felt like it was snowing in July!

She quickly went to ask her grandmother, and her grandmother told her that the aunt had asked her for reconciliation, but she had refused.

Grandma thinks Qiao Mai is still young, and the most important task now is to treat his illness, so there is no need to consider marriage for the time being.

But grandma couldn’t figure out what was going on. She had explained it clearly, so why did it spread like that outside? !

"My grandmother always felt sorry for me because of this incident and she was resentful until her death. But in fact, neither I nor my family ever thought of trying to climb the social ladder with them."

Qiao Mai smiled, but there was a hint of melancholy in his smile. He was obviously thinking of his grandmother and the past events that had brought grief to his family.

"At that time, he had just graduated from the military academy and had a bright future ahead of him, but I had no idea what my health would be like in the future. I don't know what that auntie was thinking, but...how could we not have this little self-awareness?

Yin Xiaoman looked at Qiao Mai, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She didn't know what the inside story was about, but her intuition told her that things might not be really as Qiao Mai said.

Because Cui Yan had told her before that Liu Chang's going to the Pioneer Camp was decided by his family a long time ago, and it was definitely not a temporary decision to avoid some girl.

With a family like Liu Chang's, they would definitely not do such a thing that would ruin their future.

And Liu Chang obviously didn't have no feelings for Qiao Mai at all as she said.

However, Qiao Mai has already said this, which is enough to prove that the gap between the two of them cannot be explained by just a few words.

This kind of thing must be done with mutual consent. Being too impetuous will never lead to good results.

As for such things as arranged marriages, Yin Xiaoman would definitely not do it.

So, she took the initiative to change the subject.

"Have you got the results of your examination today? What do you say?"

"Not yet. The doctor said that there are some tests that our hospital can't do, so we have to take them to Ningcheng People's Hospital. It will take a few days to get the test report."

At this point, Qiao Mai's originally depressed face suddenly showed a bit of excitement.

She leaned over and asked, "Xiao Man, do you know where Ningcheng People's Hospital is? I asked before I came here, and it's next to the largest department store here!

It is said that the department store is four stories high, one story higher than the department store in Haicheng!

Oh, I really want to go and have a look, do you want to go? Do you think we can have such an opportunity? ”

Yin Xiaoman shook his head.

She had no interest in any department store since she had never seen one anyway.

Speaking of tall buildings, the regiment hospital where they are now is also quite tall.

And when she thought about going out, she would immediately think of the scenes she saw on the street yesterday, and any interest she had would be immediately dispelled.

She doesn't want to go anywhere.

But seeing Qiao Mai's eager face, Yin Xiaoman didn't want to discourage her.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there anything you want to buy in particular? When Squad Leader Zhou came to deliver the meal just now, he told me to list the things I want to buy when I'm free, and he can buy them for me in advance. But it's hot here, and things can't be kept for long, so it's best to buy them before leaving."

When she heard that squad leader Zhou agreed to help buy things, Qiao Mai's eyes lit up at first, and then he immediately shook his hands vigorously: "No, no, there is no way he can buy it there."

"Team Leader Zhou is a good person. It's okay to ask him to take care of the child." Yin Xiaoman advised again.

Hearing her say this, Qiao Mai glanced at her and then burst out laughing: "Xiao Man, is it true that apart from food, your mind can no longer hold anything else? I want to buy..."

She put her face close to Yin Xiaoman's ear: "I want to buy underwear!"

As he spoke, afraid that she didn't understand, he drew an arc on his chest with his hands.

Yin Xiaoman's face suddenly turned red.

Doesn’t she know that this kind of thing can be bought? !

In her mind, aren't these things all made by herself? Could it be possible that someone would sell it in the largest department store in the city!

When Yin Xiaoman thought of that scene, she felt so embarrassed that her toes almost curled up.

Seeing that she looked like she wanted to drill into the center of the earth, Qiao Mai laughed so hard that he wiped away his tears.

"No, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Haven't you seen this before?"

She thought about it and nodded, as if she had figured something out. Then she glanced at Yin Xiaoman with a little heartache: "Your mother died too early."

Yin Xiaoman really doesn't understand what the connection is between this underwear and the sooner or later of his mother's death?

But before she could even raise any questions, Qiao Mai reached out and rubbed his burning face lovingly, then winked at her: "Just wait, I'll show you and you'll understand."

After saying that, he walked around the room nervously, and after making sure that the situation inside could not be seen from outside the window, he ran to the door and locked it.

Then she ran back.

Sitting on the stool in front of Yin Xiaoman, he generously lifted up his shirt.

The snow-white breasts were exposed without any cover.

Yin Xiaoman, who was completely unprepared, was so frightened by this scene that he was completely stunned!

Then the whole person will get angry!

First of all, she was completely stunned by Qiao Mai’s “bold” attitude.

She never expected that the girl would do such a thing.

Another thing is that she had never seen the thing she was wearing.

What Yin Xiaoman was wearing at the moment was the small floral vest that she and Cui Yan had bought together when they were in the Pioneer Camp.

Although she has been pregnant for several months, her figure has not changed much. The vest fit me fine, so I didn't make a new one.

The small thing that Qiao Mai was wearing, which only fit in front of her chest, was something she had never seen in her previous life, this life, or both.

Looking at the two bulging breasts exposed by Qiao Mai, she suddenly closed her eyes and quickly turned her head to the side.

"Put your clothes down quickly! What are you wearing? This is so disgraceful!"

She was so embarrassed that she didn't even know what to say.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Qiao Mai, who was originally a little embarrassed, relaxed instead.

She tidied her clothes, walked over to open the door of the ward, and then came back and said to her: "Xiao Man, this is not something to be embarrassed about, you don't have to be shy.

My grandmother told me since I was a child that girls must pay attention to their underwear during their growth spurt. If it is uncomfortable, too small, or too loose, it must be changed immediately. You should never keep silent because you are shy or find it troublesome. She said it was bad for development. ”

As she spoke, she gestured again with her hand in front of her chest.

Then she looked at Yin Xiaoman: "In your current situation, you can't go without underwear. Just wearing a small vest has no support at all. What if it sags in the future?"

Although she didn't want to hear her say this anymore, after Qiao Mai finished speaking, Yin Xiaoman couldn't help but think of some elderly women she had seen when she went to the black market when she was in the vanguard camp.

Because the place where the pioneer camp is located is also very hot, young girls and young wives are more particular about what they wear, but middle-aged and elderly women don't have so many concerns.

She thought of a person she once saw with two cloth bags hanging on his chest, and she couldn't help but shudder.

She no longer cared about being embarrassed and looked up at Qiao Mai: "Is this thing... useful?"

"Of course it is useful." Qiao Mai answered as a matter of course.

But after she finished speaking, she showed a distressed expression again: "But this thing is only sold in department stores, and it has to be a larger department store. It may not be available in small cities, let alone on our island."

As she spoke, she stared at Yin Xiaoman again, her expression becoming even more embarrassed: "Besides, this thing also comes in different sizes. Your breasts are much bigger than mine. If you don't try it, you won't be able to wear my size!"

Hearing her talking about big and small all the time, Yin Xiaoman really couldn't even say a word.

She was so angry that she glared at Qiao Mai: "Why didn't I realize before that you are such a shameless person!"

But Qiao Mai was familiar with her by now, so he didn't care at all when he heard this. Instead, he laughed and retorted.

"I didn't know you were so conservative. I heard from Li Fang that you also went to high school. Didn't the girls talk about these things when you lived in the school dormitory?"

Yin Xiaoman thought about it, but couldn't remember that the original owner had ever talked about similar topics with others. Let alone talk about it, before today, she didn't even know there was such a thing as underwear.

Looking at her expression, Qiao Mai guessed it without her saying anything.

"Xiao Man, you don't have to be ashamed. Really, this is not something to be ashamed of. We used to talk about it privately among our good friends. Including this time, Li Fang even asked me to see if I could bring two back for her."

Having said this, she obviously remembered her friend's advice and became embarrassed again.

"Tomorrow I'll ask the nurses at the nurses' station if they can help me buy it. If not, we'll wait for another opportunity. What if we have a day of free time before we go back?"

She said words of self-comfort, but her eyes were full of hope.

But Yin Xiaoman knew that the possibility was not high.

Not to mention Qiao Mai, she is now the focus of attention, and even the ward she lives in is isolated.

Even if she was allowed to stop lying like this after a few days, it would be impossible for her to leave the regiment headquarters.

In fact, let alone her, even this girl has little chance of going out. After all, she also came from the island, and she lives with her parents who are members of the expert group.

Yin Xiaoman had not visited the ward where she was staying now, so he couldn't say. But it is probably difficult to get in touch with others.

But seeing the longing look on the little girl's face, she really didn't want to discourage her. What's more, Yin Xiaoman was also attracted by the underwear she showed, and was a little eager to try.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any extra clothes besides what you are wearing? Why don't you bring one over for me to see?"

"What are you looking at? Are you going to make one?" Qiao Mai was very surprised.

"Well, I want to try it." Yin Xiaoman had no intention of hiding anything.

"Xiaoman, you can do it!" Qiao Mai suddenly became excited.

"My grandma can do it, too. Most of my underwear was made by her. But later she passed away... Just wait, I'll get it for you now!"

After saying that, Qiao Mai ran out the door as if there were springs under his feet.

Not long after she left, there was another knock on the door.

Yin Xiaoman thought it was her who came back, and without even raising her head, she responded, "Come in, the door is not closed."

But when he looked up again, he saw a young woman in her twenties standing at the door. She had a sexy hairstyle and looked energetic and capable.

The woman was wearing a blue work suit with her sleeves rolled up high, and holding a large aluminum lunch box in her hand.

She stood at the door and smiled at Yin Xiaoman a little awkwardly: "You are Xiaoman, right? I am Lv Li, Zhou Tiancheng's wife."

"Sister-in-law?" Yin Xiaoman was so surprised that he quickly sat up.

Seeing her like this, Lv Li hurried over, put the lunch box in her hand on the table, and came over to hold her down: "Don't move. Just lie down like this, sister-in-law is here to see you and talk to you."

After making sure Yin Xiaoman lay back down, she explained a little embarrassedly: "Your brother didn't let me come at first, saying that this matter couldn't be told to anyone. But I couldn't hold it in. After all, you're home now! Even if you can't go back, I, as your sister-in-law, can't pretend to be confused and not care, right?"

At this point, she looked outside, and then comforted him again: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoman, it's okay. I'm a military engineer in our regiment, and I'm working in the kitchen now. I'll deliver meals to you every day, and I guarantee that no one will say anything. By the way, I delivered the meal to Comrade Xiaoqiao upstairs today, and I'll deliver meals to both of you in the future."

Yin Xiaoman nodded heavily.

She didn't expect that just by leaving the island and living in a hospital, she could actually find a relative. I never imagined that one day I would be able to feel the warmth from a big family.

Before this, she felt that having a small family where the whole family could love each other was a blessing she had earned in several lifetimes.

And now, looking at Lu Li's slightly dark face and the undisguised concern on her face, she felt as if her heart was soaked in warm water, warm.

Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Li turned around and opened the lunch box she brought and handed it to her.

"Xiao Man, these are cucumbers that my sister-in-law grew herself. I brought you some. You can keep them here and eat them slowly. It's hot in the room, and you might feel better if you eat a little."

Therefore, women understand women better.

Looking at those cleanly washed cucumbers, Yin Xiaoman was even more greedy than when he saw the date cakes before.

The regiment hospital's building is very solid, and its walls are much thicker than normal ones, so even the scorching sun can't easily penetrate them.

When you first come in, you will feel a little bit of coolness.

But the weather is too hot!

Even if you lie still, you will still sweat all over. Sometimes it doesn’t take even half a day for my clothes to be soaked with sweat.

In this case, a few cucumbers would be too attractive to her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Yin Xiaoman's mouth curled up with joy. After saying that, he picked up one without hesitation and took a big bite.

This cucumber must have been soaked in well water by Lu Li in advance. It was cool and crispy. After taking a bite of it, she felt all her heatiness disappeared.

She smiled sweetly at Lu Li and took another bite.

Seeing her eating happily, Lu Li also smiled.

"Xiao Man, I've brought all mine to you. See which one you can make?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside again, and Qiao Mai rushed inside while speaking.

Because apart from the nurses, not many people come to Yin Xiaoman's room every day. Now is not the time for injections, so Qiao Mai didn't expect that there would be someone else in the room at this moment.

After seeing Lu Li, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Lv Li quickly stood up and explained to Qiao Mai: "Hello, Comrade Qiao. I was just saying I would go to your place later, and you came. Xiao Zhou from our family said it was too hot, so he asked me to bring you some cucumbers to cleanse your mouth. I was just saying I would bring them to you after I gave them to Comrade Yin."

"It's okay, it's okay if you send it here. Don't run back and forth. We can just eat together."

As Qiao Mai spoke, he leaned his head towards the lunch box, and his expression became the same as Yin Xiaoman's, full of surprise.

She reached out and took one, then turned to look at Lv Li with a grateful smile: "Thank you, Comrade Lv. Please also thank Squad Leader Zhou for us. You are so kind. Thank you so much."

Hearing her say this, Lu Li smiled and did not respond to her. Instead, she looked at the cloth bag in her hand.

"Comrade Qiao, what are you discussing?"

Qiao Mai didn't expect that Lu Liquan heard what he just said and not only said nothing but also asked about it. He felt a little embarrassed.

She subconsciously clenched the bag in her hand tighter, her eyes a little vague: "Nothing, just a little thing.

Lu Li pursed her lips, turned her head to glance at Yin Xiaoman lying on the hospital bed, and there was a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

Then, regardless of Qiao Mai's displeasure, he insisted: "Comrade Yin's current health is not suitable for sewing. You see, she can't even sit up. I can do the work. Otherwise, you can take it out and let me see it. Maybe I can do it too."

Yin Xiaoman closed her eyes.

She knew that her sister-in-law was beginning to fulfill her responsibilities as a "parent" and she would never let herself make that underwear.

In fact, Yin Xiaoman is not unaware of her current situation, but she is not prepared to do anything right now. She just wanted to take a look and think about it.

No one knew her body better than she did, and actually, there was nothing wrong with her. As long as you pay a little attention, there will be no problem doing some simple work.

She had just moved in and couldn't say anything, but she had made up her mind that after all the test results came out tomorrow, she would talk to the doctor and never sleep upside down like this again.

But she couldn't tell anyone about this unless the doctor gave the order, and no one would believe her if she told them.

Qiao Mai didn't expect Comrade Lu to say that, but she wasn't the type to refuse others. Seeing her staring at him, as if she would not leave unless he took it out -

Qiao Mai had no choice but to open the bag.

"We are just discussing whether we can make some underwear ourselves. It is inconvenient for us to go out to buy things. I won't let Xiaoman do it if she is in this state."

Hearing her say this, Lu Li's expression flashed with a hint of surprise, and then she became embarrassed. Apparently she hadn't expected that the two people were discussing something so private.

She didn't look into the bag in Qiao Mai's hand, but said to her: "What kind do you want to buy? Tell me the size and I'll buy it for you. We live outside the regiment headquarters, so I can go home every day."

After hearing her say this, not to mention Qiao Mai, even Yin Xiaoman was overjoyed!

"Really? Comrade Lu, can you help us buy it?" Qiao Mai excitedly grabbed her with both hands.

Lu Li nodded, but turned her gaze to Yin Xiaoman again.

"Comrade Yin, don't buy yours."

Her eyes moved to her chest.

"Your things will grow bigger, so if you buy it now, it will soon be out of place. I'll make yours for you. Although my craftsmanship is average, I can still make a few of these things."

After saying that, she didn't even give Yin Xiaoman a chance to refuse. She walked over and measured her body with her hands.

"Okay, I know the size. I'll make one for you first. If you think it's suitable for you, I'll make a few more for you later."

After Lu Li finished measuring, she said these words to Yin Xiaoman, who was so shocked by her touch that his face was expressionless, and left.

Even after she left for a long time, Yin Xiaoman still hadn't recovered.

She never thought that her sister-in-law would do such a thing! The more she thought about it, the crazier she felt!

Her appearance made Qiao Mai, who was watching nearby, laugh so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

It should be that Lu Li went back and told Team Leader Zhou that Qiao Mai and Yin Xiaoman had a good relationship, so when lunch was delivered at noon, their meals were no longer separated but put together.

In fact, this is also what Yin Xiaoman meant.

Others may not know, but she knows that she has never lacked food. Even during the most difficult times on the island, there was always an endless supply of snacks in her little room.

Not to mention now, Lichun tries every possible way to make nutritious meals for her every day, and he is just short of worshipping her like a Buddha.

Yin Xiaoman accepted his apprentice's care and did not feel uneasy at all.

After all, as the head nanny of the imperial kitchen, Lichun now has great power. Apart from anything else, it is normal to try new dishes or cook a special meal.

This is a very troublesome thing for others, but it is easy for her.

That guy had already made a fortune because of the face cream, hand cream recipes, and the seafood she provided. Without showing off, he was already considered one of the richest people in Beijing.

So, she was willing to support herself and express her gratitude in this way, and Yin Xiaoman let her go.

With all the endless nutritional supplements in the space, the ones sent by Squad Leader Zhou were actually a bit dispensable to her.

But for Qiao Mai, these are delicious things that she can't eat anywhere else.

The reason for her illness, after all, was that she ate too poorly. So Yin Xiaoman was willing to let her eat all these things first.

She could only keep this thought in her heart.

Originally, she wanted to slowly find an opportunity to give Qiao Mai some food, but now, her cousin and his wife helped her fulfill her wish.

This afternoon, Lu Li brought egg custard and white rice.

The steamed egg custard is tender and its surface is as smooth as a mirror.

"Hmm, it smells good!" Qiao Mai exclaimed as he opened the lunch box and closed his eyes in intoxication.

Lu Li didn't say anything, but there was obvious pride in her eyes. Needless to say, this egg custard must have been steamed by her man himself.

"Xiao Yin, you eat." Lu Li said, picked up the spoon beside her bowl, and took a large spoonful on her rice.

When she dug in with the spoon, Yin Xiaoman discovered that there was something else inside the bowl of steamed egg custard!
