Chapter 420 Are you hurt?

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I bought this in bulk. If you think it's okay, you can give me three cents a pack. If Fengxia and other sisters-in-law in the family compound want some, I'll bring some back next time. I bought three boxes when I came back, and I've already given one box away, so I can give you another box."

At this point, she suddenly remembered that she had originally planned to return to Huaicheng to give some to her mother and aunt, but later she forgot about it because of many things.

She'll send them some when she gets back to the city.

Li Guifen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her say this.

This was much cheaper than she had imagined.

She had heard from other military wives in the family compound that such things were very expensive outside and could only be bought in places like Friendship Store.

She immediately gave the money and the toilet paper to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi also spoke to her a few more words and told her how to use sanitary napkins.

Because she had heard before that some people didn't know how to use sanitary napkins and used the sticky side of the tape on them.

The two talked for a while, and then Li Guifen left happily with her things.

Gu Xiaoxi also took a cardboard box, filled it with twenty packs of sanitary napkins, and moved it next door to give to his sister-in-law.

When Li Qiao saw the box of sanitary napkins, she was very happy. "These are not easy to buy! But they are really useful. I usually ask people to buy them from Friendship Stores."

"Sister-in-law, tell me when you run out of stuff. I bought a lot this time. I'm going back to the military hospital now. Do you have anything you want to bring over? I'll get it for you."

"When the time comes, ask your brother to carry me the big and small bags. Heavy things should be carried by men." Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Alright then! I'm leaving now!"

"Yes. I will stay at home for a week and come back to see you next week."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, went back to the next door, closed the gate and left.

After returning to the city, she first went to the post office to mail a package and wrote a letter to her parents.

Before leaving, she thought about it and wrote a letter to her third uncle Gu Dongbao.

In the afternoon, she returned to the military hospital to work early.

In the next few days, Gu Xiaoxi worked hard.

On the day she was about to return to the army, Lu Jiansen came over in the middle of the night and said he had a special mission. He hugged her, kissed her, and left.

After that, Lu Jiansen didn't come back for more than a month.

Gu Xiaoxi also went back to the army once a week at the beginning, but eventually he kept working overtime in the military hospital and never went back.

It was not until June 20th that she saw Lu Jiansen in the hospital. He had lost weight and looked darker.

The two looked at each other without saying a word. Lu Jiansen took a deep breath and hugged the little girl in front of him tightly into his arms.

"Xiaoxi, I miss you so much!"

Lu Jiansen hugged her tightly and forcefully, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Gu Xiaoxi hugged him back and patted his back gently, "I miss you too. Are you okay?"

Lu Jiansen looks a little abnormal.

She had a feeling something was wrong!

Lu Jiansen kissed her forehead, let her go, and tidied up her hair.

"Can we get off work now? Let's go home!" Lu Jiansen said softly.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at his watch. The time was 5:33 pm. There were no more patients at this time.

She picked up her bag and took Lu Jiansen's hand, "Let's go!"

After leaving the hospital and getting in the car, Lu Jiansen said, "Xiaoxi, let's go directly to the hospital."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.

When the car was halfway there, Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask.

"Did your mission go wrong this time?"

Lu Jiansen is not usually like this when he returns from a mission.

Moreover, as soon as I see her, I will call her "wife, wife".

Lu Jiansen's eyes were tinged with bloodshot, and he said with a bitter voice: "The pile has been sacrificed!"

Gu Xiaoxi's expression froze and he slammed on the brakes immediately.

After a few seconds, she quickly looked Lu Jiansen up and down, "Are you injured?"

"Don't worry, I just had a minor injury and it has healed." Lu Jiansen gently rubbed her head.

Gu Xiaoxi was worried and wanted to help him check, but it was not convenient now, so he had to hold back.

The car started again, and she asked hesitantly, "Your mission is over. Can you tell me how the pile was sacrificed?"

"It was to rescue the hostages that we were led into the minefield."

"Are any other people injured?" asked Gu Xiaoxi.

She didn't know how many people were on this mission, or how many died or were injured.

But such news is painful to hear.

"When the minefield exploded, several soldiers were injured, but because they were far away, I rushed over and used the hemostatic and life-saving drugs you gave me to treat them in time. As for Zhuizi, he... didn't even have a complete body."

Gu Xiaoxi held his hand with heartache.

No wonder he acted so abnormally and was in such a low mood this time.

After returning to the family compound, Gu Xiaoxi and Lu Jiansen were stopped by Li Guifen before they even reached the house.

"Sister Xiaoxi, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, Political Commissar Luo asked me to keep an eye on you this afternoon. If you come back, he will ask you to go to the troops. He has something to talk to you about."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, "Am I going too?"

"Yes. I'll also ask you to go there." Li Guifen nodded quickly.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Jiansen, but turned around and went to the troops with him.

On the troop side, Political Commissar Luo and the commander of the first regiment were both in the office.

Seeing Lu Jiansen and Gu Xiaoxi coming over, Political Commissar Luo patted Lu Jiansen's shoulder soothingly.

"The organization has decided to let you take two people to send Chuangzi's ashes and relics back to his hometown. Chuangzi's parents are still alive, but his father is not in good health and his mother has been paralyzed for many years. What we mean is that this time, let your wife Comrade Gu Xiaoxi go with you to help Chuangzi's parents see a doctor and solve some practical problems at home."

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Jiansen and nodded slightly, "No problem on my end."

Lu Jiansen also nodded, "Okay."

"Then you guys get ready and come over at six tomorrow morning. Someone will take you there. I will greet Dean Chen at the military hospital."

"Yes." Lu Jiansen saluted.

When she got home, Gu Xiaoxi didn't cook dinner, but directly took some food out from the space.

After dinner, she also made some preparations for a long journey.

Just as she was about to take a shower and go to bed early, there was a knock on the gate.

Gu Xiaoxi was nearby, so he walked over and opened the door.

When she found that it was Li Kun, Lu Xiangqian, Luo Yang and a group of warriors coming, she was stunned for a moment and quickly let them in.

Lu Jiansen also came out of the house, "Why are you all here?"

"Lu Tuan, the political commissar said that two people can go to Zhuizi's house with you. I want to go." Li Kun said quickly.

“I want to go too!”

"Me too!"

Lu Jiansen waved his hands, "Let's just ask Li Kun and Sun Dongming! Li Kun, please organize the pile's things. Sun Dongming's hometown is also in Nanchuan, so we can communicate with them in our hometown dialect."
