It was too late, and Lu Yuan was too embarrassed to ask Qin An Ning to talk about things, so he could only wait until the next day.
After breakfast the next day, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to ask about the mosquito repellent.
"An Ning, can you sell this prescription to the army?" Lu Yuan asked, adding somewhat embarrassedly, "Maybe the army won't pay too much."
Mosquito repellent can only be considered as a medicine to improve conditions, it is not a necessity for saving lives, and the organization’s funds are limited.
Qin An Ning agreed without even considering it, "Sure, big brother, just report it, I'll give you whatever you want.
For the soldiers in the army, I can upgrade the medicine so that it can drive away ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants.
This way, you won't be afraid of carrying out missions in the dense forest."
In fact, if she wasn't afraid that the military would come to her and cry poor if she cooperated with them again in the future, she would have said that she would not want any money.
She has a bit of a weird temper. I can donate, but you can't use my kindness to bully me.
"But you have to hurry up on this matter, big brother.
I estimate that our factory laboratory is almost back to normal operation, and the project in Beijing should also be almost finished. I don’t have much time left here.”
Lu Yuan was also a man of action. He stood up on his crutches and said, "I'll go write the report and discuss it with Captain Xing right away."
"Brother, you should stay active. I may not know medicine, but I do know medicine. The gunshot wound on your body is no joke. If you want to heal quickly, you have to take good care of yourself."
Lu Yuan had a leg injury, so he inevitably had to exert force on his upper body when he used crutches.
"The camp is not close to here, and walking back and forth like this will definitely aggravate your wound.
I came here in a hurry this time and don't know your specific condition. I didn't have time to make medicine. I will go back and get some pills that may help you recover and send them to you.
As for now, does anyone here have a bicycle I could borrow?"
"No need, I'm not that delicate." Lu Yuan knew that Qin An Ning meant well, but he was used to it.
All soldiers go through wind and rain, so this little injury is nothing.
"No, you must listen to Ningning, otherwise I won't let you go out." Xue Jing opened her arms and looked at Lu Yuan.
Wang Qiufen also disagreed, "You are injured now, so you must obey."
Lu Yuan: “…”
He has no human rights at all now.
One is my mother and the other is my wife. What can I do?
Just listen!
"That's the house on the right, the second one on the left in the third row. That's our battalion instructor's home. His bicycle should be at home. Go ask him."
Xue Jing went to the kitchen and got two eggs before leaving.
The wife of the instructor of the first battalion was surnamed Cai. She had met her last night. She heard that she was a family member of the first battalion. Xue Jing made a special note of her and even spoke to her for a few more words.
But to be honest, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, and it was a bit inappropriate to borrow a bicycle so rashly, but for Lu Yuan's injury, she took the risk.
"Is Mrs. Cai at home?" Xue Jing shouted from the door.
Ningning told her that here they couldn't just open the door to someone else's house without saying hello, like they did in the countryside.
"It's Xue Jing, come in quickly." Mrs. Cai knew that Xue Jing was Lu Yuan's wife, and she also wanted to make friends with her.
When two men work together as a team, if there are conflicts among the women, the men will also be in trouble.
"Sister Cai, I have something to ask of you."
Xue Jing sat down and said a few words before getting straight to the point.
She was born and raised in Northeast China and is used to being straightforward. She cannot do anything roundabout.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Mrs. Cai is a typical Jiangnan woman, speaking softly.
"My Lu Yuan has something to report to Xing Tuan. You know his injury hasn't healed yet, so he can't walk too far.
I was wondering if I could borrow your bike so I can take him there."
"Oh, sure, the bike is right at the door, you can use it."
Although the bicycle is expensive, it will not break down after one use. Besides, it was the first time that Captain Lu's wife asked for it, so Mrs. Cai felt it was difficult for her to refuse.
"Mrs. Cai, thank you very much."
Xue Jing took out two eggs from her pocket and put them on the table. "There's no reason to borrow the car for free. These two eggs are a little gift from me. Sister Cai, please keep them."
"That won't do. How can that be possible?" Mrs. Cai refused to accept it, and Xue Jing quickly walked out.
"Mrs. Cai, if you don't accept these eggs, I'll be embarrassed to lend you my bicycle. Please stop tearing them apart."
After Xue Jing finished speaking, she pushed her bicycle away.
Mrs. Cai was still wondering what "tear it apart" meant, but when she looked up, everyone had already gone far away.
Xue Jing pushed the bicycle back, made sure Lu Yuan sat on the back seat, and prepared to push him away.
Qin An Ning stopped him and said a few more words, "Brother, if you can handle this well, it will be considered a credit.
Small achievements are nothing for now, but they will be your capital for promotion in the future. If you are well, your parents will be happy, and your children will be able to help you in the future.
So you don't have to worry about me, Lu Cheng and I are not short of money."
Lu Yuan was very moved after hearing this. He finally understood why his wife admired An Ning so much.
What An Ning did was truly for the good of the Lu family. She had no selfish motives and did not care about rewards.
Others can feel her sincerity and will naturally treat her sincerely.
"Thank you, An Ning."
Qin Anning waved her hand and said, "We are one family and we don't have different opinions."
She wasn't a kind-hearted person, but she really didn't need money, and she was also repaying Lu Yuan on behalf of Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng told me that when he was in a coma as a child, Lu Yuan took care of him while his parents were at work.
The weather here is really hot. Qin Anning keeps fanning himself with a fan every day and is still sweating all over.
Except for the morning when the sun is not so strong and the evening when the sun sets and it gets cooler, the rest of the time is like a steamer, probably at least 35 or 36 degrees.
There are always people around her but she can't enter the space. Ahhh, I really want to go back to Northeast China. The summer in Northeast China is much more comfortable than here.
When Xue Jing came back, she was holding a watermelon in her hand.
"Sister-in-law, why did you buy watermelon?"
A watermelon is not cheap. In her impression, Xue Jing is very thrifty and rarely buys things that she thinks are useless to satisfy her cravings.
"I happened to see this when I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, so I grabbed one. I'll soak it in water later and eat it at lunch to cool down."
In fact, Qin An Ning was right. If it weren't for her, Xue Jing really would not be willing to buy it.
She was very grateful that Qin An Ning had come all the way here to bring them here.
Moreover, Qin An Ning refused to accept the money she gave him to buy the ticket.
When he arrived at the army, he still thought about the couple in every way, and didn't even care about the money for the prescription, just to let Lu Yuan make merit.
She did so many things for them, one after another, and although she didn't say it, she was grateful in her heart.
There are probably not many sisters-in-law in the world who can do this.
She knew she had no ability and could only give back in these small ways.
