Chapter 75 It seems I miss him a little more than last time…
Upon seeing her younger sister, her previous joy seemed to be doused with cold water, pulling her out of the joyful atmosphere.
She was afraid that her younger sister would not be able to accept what had happened to her.
Liu Zhaodi stood up, her face still cold, but she opened her arms and hugged Chu Lulu.
"If your sister knew, she would be very happy."
That embrace was a little cold.
That arm felt a little cold.
But Chu Lulu hugged her back, and after twenty years, she once again held her younger sister in her arms.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, but the corners of her lips turned up in a silent smile.
"Sister Lu, is it time to eat?"
The two people who were embracing slowly separated.
Liu Zhaodi's softened face turned cold and aloof again.
To be honest, my sister looks a bit like our father. If I hadn't known beforehand, I probably wouldn't have been able to tell.
The phrase "indistinguishable between male and female" perfectly describes the younger sister.
My little sister is really amazing!
"Eat first, take a shower here, and then go back to the dormitory to sleep."
"good."
The two sisters each harbored their own secrets.
Liu Jinbao had been very worried. When he saw his older sister come out of the house, he immediately stood beside her, his eyes asking something.
"I'll tell you in a bit."
Liu Zhaodi smiled and shook her head, then answered softly.
The meal was served, with both meat and vegetables, but mostly meat.
Liu Juan couldn't help but exclaim, "So many? The dean really went all out!"
There were eight boxes of rice.
Chu Lulu raised an eyebrow, a mysterious smile on her face.
"The physical examination is one thing, but there are probably other things too. Let's wait for our dean to tell us."
It's definitely not about the physical examination.
As for what happens next, she is somewhat looking forward to it.
"Eat meat."
When Chu Lulu was picking up food, she deliberately removed the fatty meat and put the lean meat into Liu Zhaodi's bowl.
She remembered that when her younger sister was little, she loved to eat lean meat but not fatty meat, and she would vomit if she ate fatty meat.
Liu Zhaodi looked at the piece of lean meat in the bowl, as well as the piece of fat that had been deliberately removed, and secretly looked up to sized up Chu Lulu.
How wonderful it would be to be her sister.
I hope Dr. Chu can find his sister soon.
Liu Juan looked at Chu Lulu, then at Liu Zhaodi, and felt that Sister Lulu had a secret, but she didn't say anything more.
Sister Lu is much smarter than me.
"Let's take a shower."
Chu Lulu took out four thermos flasks. Xiao Jinli was worried that she wouldn't have enough hot water, so he bought two more. Four thermos flasks should be enough.
Liu Jinbao shielded his older sister behind him, saying, "Wait a moment."
Why take a bath?
"How can I take a bath?"
Wouldn't taking a shower expose you?
Then my sister will be sent back. Without me to protect her, my parents will torment her every day.
My sister absolutely cannot go back.
Liu Zhaodi tugged at Liu Jinbao, "I'll explain to you in a bit."
Then she looked at Chu Lulu and asked, "Where should I wash up?"
Chu Lulu took out a new set of undergarments, which was originally prepared for her younger sister, who was thinner and taller than she had imagined.
This outfit is probably a little big, but it should be manageable.
“Come with me.”
Chu Lulu led Liu Zhaodi to a room. The room was decorated in a light purple color scheme and had a simple and elegant interior with a pleasant floral scent.
"Take a shower here."
"You'll stay in this room from now on."
Liu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, then said, "From now on, I'll give you half of my salary."
Before Chu Lulu could refuse, he quickly took the kettle into the house and locked the door.
Liu Juan's eyes swept over the group of people. After tidying up the dishes, she said goodbye to Chu Lulu.
Liu Zhaodi came out after taking a shower, her hair still dripping wet. Chu Lulu took a clean towel and instinctively dried her hair, her voice soft and sweet, "You should dry your hair promptly after washing it in the future, or you'll catch a cold."
"Come to my room, I'll apply the medicine for you."
Liu Jinbao looked at his older sister, who was always wary of everyone, and she was actually following behind that hateful doctor obediently.
Something's not right.
"You found out?"
Liu Jinbao rushed to Chu Lulu's side, like a little wolf cub protecting the person behind him, baring his teeth and giving her a warning.
"Um."
She was grateful to Liu Jinbao, but she wished she could kill his parents.
It's really a contradiction.
"Please, please, don't let my sister leave?"
"I'll do anything you want, even take off my clothes, as long as you don't let my sister leave, I'll do anything."
Liu Jinbao looked eager, but his eyes were filled with trepidation.
Chu Lulu extended her hand to Liu Zhaodi, "Come sit next to me."
I pulled open her sleeve and applied the ointment little by little. I applied scar-reducing cream to the scars and ointment to the new wounds.
Seeing all those injuries made Chu Lulu's heart clench.
"When did I say I wanted her to leave?"
"besides……"
"What's so interesting about all that fat on you?"
Chu Lulu's words are all about letting the bullets fly for a while...
Even though she knew she shouldn't direct her anger at Liu Jinbao, she still felt angry.
"Okay, your hair is dry now."
"Remember what you promised me."
Liu Zhaodi tossed her hair and left with Liu Jinbao. But when they reached the door, she turned to look at Chu Lulu and said, "You are a very good older sister. Your younger sister must be very happy."
Yes, it will.
Chu Lulu nodded; she never doubted her own abilities.
Watching the two figures walk away, Chu Lulu's lips curled up slightly.
Sister, you must be happy.
Chu Lulu closed her eyes, and slowly loosened her clenched fist.
She took Liu Zhaodi's medical examination form and prepared to visit someone.
"LuLu, it's so late, have you eaten yet?"
When Wang Hui opened the door and saw Lu Lu, her eyes lit up.
Chu Lulu handed over the things in her hand, "I saw some nice apples on the street yesterday, so I bought some."
Actually, they were planted in her space. Her herb planting area not only has herbs, but also some fruits.
Especially the fruits from the mountains: chestnuts, walnuts, hawthorns, apples...
"I don't mind that it's heavy."
Aunt Hui said it, but she was happy inside.
How can you not be happy when your child thinks about you?
Commander Jiang also came out of the study. As soon as he saw Chu Lulu, he felt a headache coming on. Every time he looked for Chu Lulu, there must be something wrong.
"hey-hey……"
That same expression again!
Commander Jiang's lips twitched slightly. "Hehe..."
The two seem to have a silent understanding; despite their constant bickering, there's a tacit understanding that no one else can penetrate.
"Alright, I'll go prepare some fruit and pastries. You can eat them when you're done."
Wang Hui carried the apples and went straight to the kitchen.
These two have important things to discuss, so she should prepare some food.
"What is it now?"
An extra chair was specially added to the study.
Chu Lulu sat down in the chair. "Prepared for me?"
There weren't any chairs when I came last time!
Commander Jiang resigned himself to his fate; being stubborn was completely useless in front of this girl.
Yes, it's for you.
"What brings you here today?"
Chu Lulu took out an address and said, "Could you help me investigate the Liu family?"
If Xiao Jinli were in the military region, she could just talk to him directly, but since he wasn't there, she had no choice but to come to Commander Jiang.
"Why?"
Chu Lulu remained silent for a long time before deciding to take a gamble. "The second thing I'm here to ask the leader for a favor."
They even used the word "help"?
This seems to be a serious matter!
Commander Jiang sighed inwardly, then said only one word to Chu Lulu, "Speak."
Having made her decision, Chu Lulu was no longer going to hide it.
"During this recruit physical examination, there was a woman dressed as a man."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Commander Jiang exclaimed, "This is no small matter!"
"Wait a minute!"
"You haven't finished speaking yet!"
Chu Lulu quickly reassured her, "I think her features resemble my younger sister, Chu Sisi."
"Really?" Commander Jiang's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“I spoke with her carefully, and she was in a very bad situation. She was abused by her adoptive parents and her body was covered in scars.”
"But her adopted brother treated her very well. Rather than saying that the two of them came to join the army, it would be more accurate to say that he brought Sisi away from the fire pit."
“I talked to her, and she wanted to take a gamble, so I agreed to gamble with her.”
Chu Lulu truthfully recounted the events and their conclusion, completely disregarding the sheer volume of information and its impact on Commander Jiang.
"Is Sisi's surname now Liu?"
"right."
"What are you really thinking when you tell me all this?"
Commander Jiang looked at Chu Lulu. This girl was always clever and mischievous, and she always did things that others didn't expect.
He should be on guard!
"The idea is that I have already reported it, so that the leaders can prepare in advance if the matter comes to light."
"And within the rules, be a little bit nicer to Sisi."
"Like dormitories and such!"
Commander Jiang has a headache. Chu Dashan, one of your children, one of yours, and one of yours, both of your little darlings, how come they're both leaking air everywhere!
"I changed my gender to female in my military service file, and my dormitory will be specially arranged."
"We'll keep it a little secret for now, but now that she's joined the army, things won't be easy for her in the future."
"You should know that there are male and female soldiers in the army, but the danger of the mission does not discriminate between men and women."
"LuLu, would you still want SiSi to join the army?"
Commander Jiang wanted to make everything clear; he couldn't even fathom the extent of Chu Lulu's abilities.
I don't want Sisi's affairs to affect her.
Chu Lulu sighed, "I respect Sisi's choice."
As long as a person has a breath left, she will try her best to save them.
Anyway, with her backing her up, when her sister talked about joining the army, her eyes lit up. It was a way to escape from suffering, but she must really love it, right?
Since my sister likes it, let her do it.
"good."
"You didn't tell her the truth?"
Commander Jiang looked at Chu Lulu and finally sighed.
She seemed naive and ignorant, seemingly lacking in social skills, yet she was also incredibly insightful.
She doesn't need to know.
"From now on, she will be my sister."
If Sisi knew that her parents were gone, would she be even more upset?
Is it better to have never had something than to have it and then lose it?
"I will investigate the Liu family; they shouldn't be the culprit."
If they were criminals, neither of them would pass the background check.
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door, and Aunt Hui came in carrying two plates of fruit.
"Eat fruit."
"Drink milk."
"He's made a point of adding an extra chair to his study ever since you left last time."
"Stubborn to the end, still refusing to admit it."
She's someone I've been spending my whole life with; how could she not know how stubborn she is?
Chu Lulu ate fruit while chuckling, but when she met Commander Jiang's glare, she hid behind Wang Hui.
Aunt Hui is a match for two!
By communicating with superiors, even if Liu Zhaodi's secret is exposed one day, the leaders can cover for her.
The younger sister got her wish and we hope she can do what she likes.
He, who has never liked scheming, is now plotting every step of the way for his sister.
The medical examination report was prepared the next day and Liu Juan took it away.
After a week, Liu Jinbao, who had been feeling anxious, finally relaxed.
Finally, she was convinced that the terrifying Dr. Chu seemed to have kept his word and kept her sister's secret.
"Sis, shall we make cabbage dumplings?"
Liu Zhaodi...
She always called him that before she knew the truth.
"Pork and scallions?"
"Three delicacies?"
The pork and scallion dish must have been something Sister Lu said. She loves meat and can't live without it because meat provides a lot of energy and keeps her from feeling hungry.
As for the three delicacies, it was Liu Juan who mentioned them.
This is the last day of rest for the new recruits; training will begin tomorrow.
Liu Zhaodi wanted to make dumplings for Chu Lulu. A week passed, which was neither a long nor a short time, and the two got along better and better.
Chu Lulu was one of the only two important people in her life.
"otherwise……"
Chu Lulu looked at the two of them, then chuckled, "Shall we both take care of it?"
"I'll chop the filling."
After Chu Lulu made her suggestion, she excitedly rolled up her sleeves, only to be grabbed by the collar by Liu Zhaodi and dragged away...
Don't let Liu Zhaodi's short stature fool you; she's half a head taller than Chu Lulu!
"Sis, have you finished writing your surgical report?"
Have you finished reading your book?
"By the way, are the face cream and the fragrance pills finished?"
In a week, even that taciturn girl started saying things that cut to the heart.
Is it true that birds of a feather flock together?
"Sister Lu, please, please spare this cutting board."
Two days ago, they trusted Sister Lu, and then the cutting board was split in two!
Do they still dare to believe in coincidences and accidents?
"oh."
Chu Lulu was also somewhat helpless. She hadn't used any force, but the cutting board was too fragile. Next time, she would get a stainless steel one and refuse to believe it could be damaged.
She dutifully went to the pharmacy to get the Ningxiang pills, and she basically didn't need to lift a finger to make the face cream anymore. As long as the raw materials arrived, Liu Lin would mail them back to her one after another.
The face cream is readily available, but there's no shortcut to making the fragrant pills; I have to make them myself.
The four aunts continued their work, becoming more and more skilled, earning a hundred or two hundred yuan a month. They had no time to gossip; they would work whenever they had a spare moment. They were all complete workaholics.
No one loves their job, but as long as the pay is right, anyone can be a workaholic.
Just as they were making dumplings outside and preparing glutinous rice balls inside, a peaceful scene unfolded as someone walked in from outside.
"Battalion Commander Xiao."
"Commander Xiao is back?"
Several aunties greeted Xiao Jinli, and Xiao Jinli nodded in response.
He strode into the house and immediately saw Liu Juan and an unfamiliar soldier.
Where's Lulu?
Except when facing Chu Lulu, his voice is always like this; even in the sweltering summer heat, it can freeze people to death.
"At the pharmacy."
Liu Zhaodi looked at Xiao Jinli warily, and Xiao Jinli's pupils flickered almost imperceptibly when he saw a stranger.
"You're back?"
Hearing the noise, Chu Lulu looked at Xiao Jinli and her eyes lit up.
I haven't seen him for a week, and I seem to miss him a little more than when I was on the last mission...
