"Captain Huo, can I go with you?" Kong Linghua stopped Huo Ci after he finished his training.
It had been a few days since he had eaten the shrimp dumplings that Jiang Yushan brought to the research institute. He was really craving the food she cooked, so he decided to follow Huo Ci back to have a free meal.
In his hand was a big, fresh, fat fish, which looked like it had just been caught.
Kong Linghua held the fish in her hand and said to Huo Ci with a smile, "Hey, I'm always shameless enough to come to your house for free meals. This time I specially prepared the ingredients myself."
He noticed that Huo Ci's eyes were fixed on the fish in his hand, and he quickly explained.
Although he spent most of his time immersed in scientific research at the institute, he was nicknamed a "research maniac" by everyone.
But in Kong Linghua's heart, he was not completely ignorant of the subtleties of interpersonal communication.
Thinking back to the two previous delicious meals he had enjoyed at Huo Ci's house, he left empty-handed both times, but returned fully stuffed.
Jiang Yushan not only didn't mind, but also always treated him warmly, which made him feel quite guilty.
"Well..." Kong Linghua then talked about the funny thing that happened after he called his wife, and said with a slightly apologetic smile: "I just called my wife and she scolded me a little. Look, I just caught a big fish, so I rushed it over to you."
He scratched his head slightly embarrassedly as he spoke.
Although he devoted himself to the research institute, he was usually alone and looked like a man without a family.
But Kong Linghua is a real married man, and he has a child with his wife.
However, his wife did not follow the army and usually lived in the city, which made it convenient for the children to go to school.
But what he said was true. In fact, Kong Linghua himself was too busy. He always stayed at the research institute and never went home. His wife didn't come because she felt that there was no difference between staying in the city and staying in the staff quarters.
At least in the city, there are family members who can help take care of the children.
This is also because Kong Linghua’s daughter-in-law is from the island.
Although Kong Linghua is very busy, she still has room in her heart for her family, although not too much.
He was in the army and would call home every one or two days. When he called home today, he mentioned that Jiang Yushan cooked delicious food.
Ever since eating the meal cooked by Jiang Yushan, Kong Linghua has been thinking about it, so he said that he wanted to go there for a free meal again.
But he never expected that after asking him about the situation, his wife scolded him.
"Kong Linghua, have you spent so much time at the research institute that your brain has become fused with all those instruments? You don't even bring your brain with you when you go out. How can you go to someone's house for dinner empty-handed?"
Kong Linghua felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the words his wife cursed him with on the phone.
He really hadn't thought so much about it before, but he happened to catch a fish today, so it would be perfect to give it to Jiang Yushan.
"Thank you, Director Kong. This fish is quite big. Let me take it." Seeing this, Huo Ci wanted to take over.
Jiang Yushan has had a poor appetite recently, and Huo Ci is worried when he sees her eating so little.
This fish looks really good. It’s a good idea to take it back and use it to nourish Jiang Yushan.
"No, no, no." Kong Linghua declined politely: "My hands are dirty, I'll hold it."
In fact, he had other plans in mind and wanted to take this opportunity to have another meal.
Seeing that Huo Ci seemed to want to enjoy it alone, Kong Linghua couldn't miss it, so she followed him closely, fearing that she would miss this "feast".
Huo Ci also had other plans in mind. Jiang Yushan had been unwell recently, and he naturally didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
But seeing that Kong Linghua was insistent and didn't seem to want to leave at all, he still felt a little soft-hearted.
Witnessing the other party's unremitting persistence and wholehearted devotion to the research institute, Huo Ci knew how hard it was for him. He rarely took a vacation throughout the year and often even neglected meals.
It is not easy to do research, not to mention that the results will benefit the troops.
"Well... let's go." Huo Ci nodded slightly.
"Here it comes!" These words were like heavenly music to Kong Linghua. He immediately smiled happily, picked up the fish in his hand, and followed Huo Ci on his way home.
…
"Are you back?" Jiang Yushan's voice rang out as the last dish in the kitchen was completed.
Hearing the noise outside, she simply walked out with the plate, intending to greet Huo Ci casually.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, look what goodies I brought you..."
Kong Linghua's excited words were interrupted by a sudden fishy smell. The smell had already arrived before the fish could be displayed.
Jiang Yushan's stomach was churning because of the smell. She quickly put down the plate, covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
"yue..."
Kong Linghua: “???”
no……
Ah, this...
This sudden situation made Huo Ci and Kong Linghua stunned at the door. The room suddenly became silent, and only the sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom was unusually clear.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, what happened?"
Kong Linghua was full of doubts. He had not stayed in the research institute for long and had no strange smell. How could it cause such a strong reaction?
He even smelled himself suspiciously to confirm whether he had smelled Jiang Yushan.
When Huo Ci heard Jiang Yushan vomiting like this, his heart tightened.
She had been eating little these past two days, so he should have paid more attention and shouldn't have believed what she said was fine.
If she was really fine, how could the young wife vomit like this now?
"Shanshan, are you feeling unwell?" Huo Ci hurried over to see what was going on.
Jiang Yushan bent his back, supported his knees with his hands, and tried hard to calm the surging feeling of nausea, but it was in vain.
She vomited a few times, but saw nothing in the pool except a few strands of saliva.
But the feeling of nausea not only did not subside, but became more and more intense, hitting her nerves again and again like a tide.
Jiang Yushan reluctantly raised her head, met Huo Ci's worried eyes, and shook her head gently, trying to comfort him.
"It's okay, I just feel a little sick..." She shook her head, but she didn't feel anything wrong with her body. "I wonder if it's because of the sea breeze on the way back that made my stomach feel uncomfortable."
After all, she had drunk the spiritual spring water, and Jiang Yushan didn't think she would easily get sick from the sea breeze.
But when Huo Ci heard this, he became very anxious and felt that she was just trying to be strong.
Considering that this was the first time she got sick after being on the island for so long and vomiting like this, she must have felt extremely uncomfortable.
"You..." Jiang Yushan just felt a little better, but suddenly she flew into the air, and Huo Ci actually picked her up sideways.
She subconsciously hugged Huo Ci's neck: "What are you doing?"
"What happened to Comrade Xiao Jiang?" Kong Linghua was outside. When he saw Huo Ci carrying the person out, he hurried forward to ask. He was a little nervous at the moment.
