Qiao Xuejun: "..."
That's true.
Qiao Xuejun changed the subject directly: "You just said that you came here because you saw Lord Zhao leave?"
Zhao Yun nodded, also looking like he had something to say: "That's right! I said I wanted to come visit you, but my brother wouldn't let me. A few people from their team also said they wanted to come see you, but my brother said you were resting and didn't want to be disturbed."
"Only Sister Yun can come in, Jin Yiyun."
Qiao Xuejun: "Sister Yun has been taking care of me these two days. But I did sleep these two days."
Zhao Xian was quite considerate and took into consideration that too many visitors would disturb her rest.
"Lord Zhao is very considerate. He is just worried that I haven't had enough rest. In fact, I am fine now."
"Hey, Teacher Qiao, why are you up?"
Just as Qiao Xuejun finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside the door. She looked up and saw it was Jin Yiyu.
She hurried over to support Qiao Xuejun, her tone a little anxious: "Didn't Doctor Zheng say that you have to stay in bed for at least a week? It's only been three days!"
Qiao Xuejun stood there awkwardly.
"No, I feel like that's enough."
He might not have fully recovered and it was a little inconvenient for him to move, but the wounds on his body had healed. After all, they were injuries that didn't even need stitches. Zhao Xian did a very good job of cleaning and bandaging them, so Qiao Xuejun felt that she didn't need to lie down any longer.
She felt uncomfortable lying down. She had never lived such a lazy life, with nothing to lose.
Jin Yiyun also looked at Zhao Yun next to him: "Deputy Minister Zhao, what are you doing here again? Didn't the Lord tell you not to disturb Teacher Qiao's rest? You'd better be careful that the Lord will punish you to run laps again when he comes back."
Zhao Yun: "As long as you don't complain, how would my brother know?"
Jin Yiyun said confidently: "I accepted the lord's things, and I did it for money! I won't protect you!"
"Hey, Sister Yun," Zhao Yun was very unconvinced, "Don't you want to know how Teacher Qiao farms?"
Jin Yiyun: "That's Teacher Qiao's business, don't ask around."
Qiao Xuejun: "Alright, alright, stop arguing."
She left Jin Yiyun's support and walked forward by herself, sitting down in front of the small sofa: "It's so boring, let's talk."
Zhao Yun sat down on the sofa and laughed again: "What are you talking about? I want to know how potatoes are grown. When it's hot, you can't water them, right? And now it's acid raining, how do you water them?"
Potatoes don't require as much water as vegetables, but Qiao Xuejun planted a lot, so the amount of water used was considerable.
Qiao Xuejun: "We dug wells when the temperature was high, and we distill now. But we don't grow this anymore."
She briefly explained it and then asked Zhao Yun: "Are you an engineer?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes, I am."
He was quite proud: "Do you see this base? It was my idea from the beginning. It only took me one month to design such a large base! It's perfect!"
Qiao Xuejun's eyes lit up: "Did you design it?"
Zhao Yun: "Yes, from the design drawings to the selection of construction materials, everything was done by me... and my master."
Qiao Xuejun: "You still have a master?"
Jin Yiyun next to him said, "I know that. He is the director of the Engineering Department. Zhao Yun is the deputy director, and his master is Director Yang."
Zhao Yun: "Yes, but isn't Master working on my brother's arsenal? I almost completed this base, so Master helped me check it."
Qiao Xuejun: "Are you and Lord Zhao brothers?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said bitterly, "No. If he was his biological brother, I probably wouldn't have to join the army. My father and his father are brothers. We are cousins."
"Three generations of my family have joined the army to serve the country. My parents saw my brother join the army and earned military merits, so they insisted that I compete with my brother. But is my brother's achievement something that ordinary people can catch up with? He made merits at the age of 18! I was really not cut out for that, so I joined the engineering department."
Jin Yiyun smiled and said, "Minister Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with the Engineering Department? No matter what branch of the military, they are all serving the country and are equally worthy of respect."
Zhao Yun smiled again: "Hehe, my parents said the same thing. They said they were proud of me."
Qiao Xuejun was also very considerate: "Just like this base, it's amazing that it was built." It seems that the structural materials are very sophisticated. After the first base was built, there were several heavy rainstorms but the mountaintop base did not collapse. It has withstood the test of disaster.
"But my brother is really awesome. He won the title of excellent sniper in the military competition three years after he joined the army. He was admitted to the Mountain Leopard Battalion with the second-class merit. Later, he even won the first-class merit."
Zhao Yun was very excited when talking about Zhao Xian, and his tone was proud: "Teacher Qiao, do you know that the first-class merit is awarded while alive! The first-class merit is usually awarded posthumously. My brother's is very rare, and he almost died to get it... Did you see the scar on his chin?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded, and she reached out and tapped her chin: "It seems to be in this position?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "Yes. Hey, Teacher Qiao, you have a scar here too?"
Qiao Xuejun asked with interest: "Then, how did your brother get his first-class merit?"
Zhao Yun: "Anti-terrorism. The operation was almost over when a bomb was discovered. It was too late for the blasting team to clear the obstacle. It was a kindergarten. My brother reported to the leader and jumped down from the third floor holding the bomb. He was killed a little later. His chin is the scar left by the explosion, and there are scars on his body... Two ribs were broken and he was hospitalized at the time."
Qiao Xuejun’s eyes widened when she heard this. Jumping off a building with a bomb on his back?
