Old Wu didn't say anything else, just asking Song Yun some questions, such as who she learned her medical skills from, how long she had been studying, how old she was, whether she had ever been to school, etc. When he learned that she had been an educated youth in Heilongjiang Province and that Commander Xu had transferred her here specifically to treat the sequelae of his illness, he was deeply moved. These younger generations still remembered him in their hearts.
The whole morning passed like this. When it was lunchtime, Song Yun asked the old man to stay in the ward. She took the steamed buns to the cafeteria and asked the cafeteria chef to help heat them up.
There is a stove in the cafeteria that helps heat up meals, and it is free of charge.
After steaming the buns, Song Yun saw that the soup in the cafeteria was average, so she didn’t order it. She bought two bowls of clear soup noodles and took them back to the ward.
It just so happened that Mr. Wu’s guard also brought back Mr. Wu’s food, which was a serving of steamed pork with rice flour and a serving of steamed potatoes. I guess they only added a little salt, and it looked unappetizing.
Old Wu stared at the steamed buns in Song Yun's lunch box and didn't even look at the food brought by the guard.
Song Yun couldn't stand the intense gaze. She thought that even in Mr. Wu's condition, he could still eat steamed buns. So she took out two steamed buns and gave them to the guard. "I made these myself. You and Mr. Wu can share them."
Of course the guard knew that his leader was greedy for the steamed bun, so he quickly took it and thanked him.
"Your steamed buns look different from the ones I usually eat," said the guard.
Song Yun explained, "I added yellow rock sugar. These light yellow marks are the syrup after the yellow rock sugar melted. Try it, it's delicious."
The old man had eaten it, "It's soft, sweet and delicious."
Old Wu stared at the steamed buns, but his guard was still talking nonsense, which made him so anxious that he wanted to curse.
Song Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Wu must be hungry. Please feed him."
When the guard turned around, he saw his old leader glaring at him. He hurriedly stepped forward with the steaming bun, tore off a small piece and fed it into the old leader's mouth.
While feeding Mr. Wu the steamed buns, the guard continued chatting with Song Yun, "Our commander is from the north and particularly likes noodles instead of rice. It just so happens that the noodles made in our military district cafeteria don't suit his taste."
Song Yun swallowed the noodles in her mouth and smiled: "I am from the north, he will definitely like the noodles I make."
Of course, in the time it took to say these few words, half of the steamed bun was already eaten.
The guard thought that his steamed bun could not be saved, but when Mr. Wu finished one and wanted to eat another, Song Yun stopped him and said that he was not in a good condition to eat too much at once and just asked him to drink some soup.
So the guards also ate the rock sugar buns made by Song Yun.
"Your steamed buns are so delicious! They are much better than the ones in the cafeteria. No wonder our leader, a northerner, doesn't like the ones in the cafeteria."
Song Yun looked at Old Wu's eager eyes and said with a smile, "I have more at home. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Mr. Wu's eyes lit up and he said a few words to the guard.
Although it was vague, the guards were used to hearing it and guessed it out.
He took out a ten-jin grain coupon, a one-jin sugar coupon, and a Great Unity coupon and handed them to Song Yun. "This is what our leader asked me to give you. He asked you to make more of these rock sugar buns and bring them to the hospital. He needs them every day."
Song Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Here came another freeloader.
She took the money and said, "Okay, I'll make some more tomorrow and bring it to you."
It just so happened that they gave me sugar coupons, so I went back in the afternoon and bought some rock sugar and added some flour.
Shortly after lunch, the guard wanted to wipe Mr. Wu's body and change his clothes, so Song Yun and the old man went for a walk outside. There happened to be a supply and marketing store nearby. The old man said that the supply and marketing store here has a special non-staple food area with a lot of things, so they could go and have a look. So the two of them strolled to the supply and marketing store.
