Chapter 1348 Anyway, only those who suffer know the consequences.
The matter has become increasingly complicated at this point.
Commander Guan ordered all those involved to be brought back to the unit.
Even Chu Xue, who was making chicken soup for Fu Yancheng in the cafeteria, was not left out, because Sister Tao had mentioned to Chu Xue that she should go upstairs and watch over the child.
Chu Xue still had to take care of Fu Yancheng, and it was Commander Guan who personally asked her: "You let Deputy Battalion Commander Tao's wife go up first to watch over the child. Did you know something beforehand?"
These words left Chu Xue speechless. She really hadn't thought much about it. She was just worried that her child was so young and might be scared if he woke up and didn't see his mother. They were both military wives, so it was just a matter of helping out. She didn't expect to be called in for questioning: "Commander, I just wanted to help Sister Tao. I didn't know anything else. I was just thinking that I had to watch over the chicken soup simmering on the stove down there, so taking care of a pot of millet porridge was just a convenient thing to do."
Commander Guan, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, asked her some more trivial questions and then let her leave.
Before she left, she asked Director Du of the cafeteria to keep an eye on the stove.
Upon seeing her return, Director Du asked, "Comrade Xiao, are you alright?"
Chu Xue nodded to her: "It's nothing, just a routine question."
Director Du wasn't one to talk much. Hearing her say that, he pointed to the stove and said, "The millet porridge is ready, but the chicken soup is still a bit undercooked. Now that you're back, I'll get back to work."
Chu Xue quickly thanked the person.
Just as I was wondering whether I should take the millet porridge up to Sister Tao first, a young soldier came in: "Sister Tao, I'm Li Weidong, a soldier under Deputy Battalion Commander Tao. Sister Tao asked me to come and ask if there's anything I can help you with?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xue understood Tao's intention. She smiled slightly at Li Weidong and pointed to the clay pot on the stove: "You've come at the right time. Help me take the porridge in that clay pot to Tao and tell her that I'll come to see her when I have time."
After Li Weidong nodded in agreement, he picked up the small casserole and left.
To her surprise, just as she was reflecting on what had happened that day, Fu Yancheng's voice came through the window: "Wife, are you alright?"
Chu Xue was startled: "How did you get here?"
After looking him up and down, Fu Yancheng was relieved: "I naturally heard about the big incident upstairs. Later, I heard someone say that you were also implicated and called in for questioning, so I came to check on you."
What he didn't say was that the moment he heard the discussion, he endured the burning pain in his back and rushed back to the unit, only to find that the person had already left.
He rushed back to the hospital without stopping and went straight to the cafeteria.
The weather in August was still very hot. He was covered in sweat from his trip, and the wound on his back was stinging from the sweat. He hadn't felt it before because he was worried about Chuxue, but now that he saw her, he felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Chu Xue felt a little sorry for him and said, "I was just called in for questioning, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't the doctor say not to move the wound until it scabs over?"
Seeing his wife's serious expression, Fu Yancheng quickly cracked a joke, "Wife, don't be angry. I was just in a hurry and couldn't think of anything else. Although I neglected some things, it shows how important you are to me, right? Let's not be angry."
Chu Xue laughed at her words: "Who's angry? Whoever suffers knows."
She had seen him frown several times, and from his little actions just now, she guessed what was going on: "Alright, hurry up and go find the nurse to help you treat your injury again. The chicken soup is almost ready, I'll be up right away."
Fu Yancheng, however, refused: "I'll go with you."
